Update: We have updated the pre-ANN to reflect a little more information of the stages we are working on, along with a little information on those stages. Technical details on how we will accomplish this will be revealed once we come up with the funds to get the chain launched, and further the development process. Thank you. -The Icarus Team

All empty but beautiful words in the ann page, does not mean anything to me. Sounds more like a marketing for ICO.
we understand how that could be perceived and thats not what we intended at all. We are still in the planning stage but have 2 workable ideas which we are trying to fund development for and a third which is our current long term goal. We do not intend to run an ICO, we are only listing MN pre sale values with the intention of garnering the interest of legitimate investors who share our mentality. Our base ideas are out in the open on our website and we would be more than happy to answer any questions you have. We intend to release a full ANN, once we have found funding for creation of the chain, with all applicable information included as well as updates if we have made headway in development. We appreciate all feedback, so thank you for bringing that up. -The Icarus Team

Update: We have our Indiegogo campaign live! We are trying to raise the remaining funds for the blockchain dev, and any funds thereafter (such as a listing fee). Any and every donation counts, and we appreciate it greatly. Even if you don't donate, we still appreciate you, don't worry.

Update: We will soon have our funding campaign up. This will be too complete the funds needed to get the Blockchain, Masternodes, and Wallets up. From there, we will use any remaining funds too start on exchange listings and marketing to spread the word about Icarus. We have working day and night on getting more and more done, and it will all come together nicely soon! -The Icarus Team

A lot of common words for peace, friendship, assistance to investors and very few words about the project. I would like more specifics. White paper, team information, roadmap.
This is definitely a valid point. We purposely did not include that in this post because we didn't want the Pre-ANN and the ANN to be exactly the same. Also, we do have an E-book in pdf format with most of that information that we were going to include in the ANN, but if you would like to see it early, we would be more than happy to provide you with it! Thank you for the feedback

Update: As of right now, there are more aspects to this project to be revealed. We are very excited to reveal these details! Announcements will be made in the ANN!
So... What's This Project About?
We are a team (2 at the moment) of people dedicated to making a change. We know, we know, you hear that all the time, but hear us out. What we want to do ultimately, is help people, and to elaborate further on this statement, we have a mini-road map of words, just for this PRE-ANN:
Short Term:
We would like to implement an application that does data analysis on coins that either submit to the platform, or coins that the community would like us to research. We want to help existing (and future) investors invest with confidence, both safely and wisely. We hope that these efforts help break the stigma around the crypto-space, and ultimately bring in newcomers, which would in turn help everyone in this space. The more people we can educate and put at ease, the more projects that could really make a difference, will get funded. We believe that all the projects that honestly want to do good and make a difference, should not be overshadowed by those who chose to take advantage of their investors and exit with their money. It's still in the prototype phase, but our ideas for the platform are way beyond that. The platform would not tell you what to invest in, but it would calculate and weigh the risks of investing in that particular project by analyzing social presence, verification of the developers, the idea behind the project, and much more.
TL;DR For Short Term:
-Build a community to educate existing and new investors on safe and wise investing to minimize the risk of investing in potential scams
-Build an application, more than likely web-based then stand-alone not far after, to analyze coins either submitted or chosen by the community
-Hopefully bring new people into the crypto community by breaking some of the stigma surrounding the crypto-space
-Build an application, more than likely web-based then stand-alone not far after, to analyze coins either submitted or chosen by the community
-Hopefully bring new people into the crypto community by breaking some of the stigma surrounding the crypto-space
Long Term:
After we have accomplished getting a lot more people comfortable in the crypto-space, we ultimately would like to expand way past individual basis. We would like to talk to charities and non-profits, in an attempt to intertwine the new, exisitng, and future programs with the blockchain. We believe that blockchain technology could help charities and non-profits help a lot more people at a faster rate, by speeding up how quick the funds get to those areas, and how large of a scale they can reach. We plan on soon applying to make our team an actual business in the physical world, because we feel as being a legitimate business would give us benefits we wouldn't have as a crypto-only project. We have talked about it extensively, and we have agreed that if we ever got to the point where this sustains us enough that we could quit our day jobs, and just help people from our community, and around the world; we would do it in a heartbeat.
TL;DR For Long Term:
-Reach out to new, existing, and future charities and non-profits to aid them in taking their work onto the blockchain
-This would allow faster financial aid, and help far more people
-Possibly become a legitimate business to broaden our horizons on both fronts
-Reach out to new, existing, and future charities and non-profits to aid them in taking their work onto the blockchain

We are still in early stages of development, and are trying to raise the funds to hire an excellent blockchain developer who has already given us a look at the contract. At this point in time, our goal is to raise the money to bring him onto the team, as well as many, many other developments in this project. That being said, all of the following specifications are what our team would like to have, but they are not set in stone. If anyone from the community has ideas to improve any of the following information we provide, please do not hesitate to reply with your opinion/recommendation! We encourage community input, as we hope to have large community input along the way. We are barely 2 weeks old as a project, but we have an abundance of ideas that could be unique and different than what you're use to seeing in the crypto-space.

At this point in time, our goal is to raise the money to bring him onto the team, as well as many, many other developments in this project. That being said, all of the following specifications are what our team would like to have, but they are not set in stone. If anyone from the community has ideas to improve any of the following information we provide, please do not hesitate to reply with your opinion/recommendation! We encourage community input, as we hope to have large community input along the way. We are barely 2 weeks old as a project, but we have an abundance of ideas that could be unique and different than what you're use to seeing in the crypto-space.

I found the idea of the project is quite interesting. Project focused on community. But if you can not hire an excellent blockchain developer then what will happen to the project?
Thank you blockchain man, we really appreciate the interest! And we have an amazing blockchain developer that has expressed that he will work with us. We have personally seen him turn projects around in no time, and he has also worked on and created successful projects, so his record is phenomenal. The only thing holding us back is funding at this point in time, but as soon as we get that funding, we will be up and ready to work for and with the community! October 12, 2018, 10:43:42 PM
icarus has a locked token supply this 800,000 is 2% of the total token supply described for airdrop and bounty programs. why must it be locked?
800,000 is locked so that we can market properly, and spread the word to build the project
All those funds will be used to spread the word about Icarus, and reward the community.

The Icarus Project
Update: Current aspects to the project that are either being developed, or are in the planning stages, as we speak.
The Labyrinth project performance reporting/review platform will act as a preliminary stage to the Icarian Gateway. The Labyrinth will allow development staff to seamlessly update information on their project in an easily digestible and readily accessible manner which will simplify investment research for communities as a whole. As The Labyrinth is our primary use-case for our coin, no less than 25% of profits generated with it will be utilized to assist in community-based donation and funding of charitable needs on a global scale.
The Icarian Gateway - an overhead two-stage project incorporating both the Eagle Eye charity finder/donation hub application and the Daedalus' Wings charity and crisis-response blockchain project.
Stage 1. Eagle Eye will be the first stage to The Icarian Gateway. On this application, the community will be able to find vetted charities, either locally or world wide, that actually use the money they raise to help people. We will make it our mission to find trustworthy charities that don't take donation money and spend it on their own wants, or use the charity as their own personal bank.
Stage 2. The second stage we're going to be working on is called Daedalus' Wings. Daedalus' Wings will provide a unified method for at-will funding and asset-sharing throughout global disaster relief efforts and expedite assistance to organizations with boots on the ground who are associated with the blockchain: think the "blockchain for business" model where members on the chain can be given universal access to assets and reporting hosted on it, but for charities and persons of authority assisting with relief efforts.
NOTE: Eagle Eye may be launched ahead of The Labyrinth in an effort to raise awareness of charitable needs going into the coming holiday season. After all, people have priority here.

So... What's This Project About?
We are a team (2 at the moment) of people dedicated to making a change. We know, we know, you hear that all the time, but hear us out. What we want to do ultimately, is help people, and to elaborate further on this statement, we have a mini-road map of words, just for this PRE-ANN:
Short Term:
We would like to implement an application that does data analysis on coins that either submit to the platform, or coins that the community would like us to research. We want to help existing (and future) investors invest with confidence, both safely and wisely. We hope that these efforts help break the stigma around the crypto-space, and ultimately bring in newcomers, which would in turn help everyone in this space. The more people we can educate and put at ease, the more projects that could really make a difference, will get funded. We believe that all the projects that honestly want to do good and make a difference, should not be overshadowed by those who chose to take advantage of their investors and exit with their money. It's still in the prototype phase, but our ideas for the platform are way beyond that. The platform would not tell you what to invest in, but it would calculate and weigh the risks of investing in that particular project by analyzing social presence, verification of the developers, the idea behind the project, and much more.
TL;DR For Short Term:
-Build a community to educate existing and new investors on safe and wise investing to minimize the risk of investing in potential scams
-Build an application, more than likely web-based then stand-alone not far after, to analyze coins either submitted or chosen by the community
-Hopefully bring new people into the crypto community by breaking some of the stigma surrounding the crypto-space
-Build an application, more than likely web-based then stand-alone not far after, to analyze coins either submitted or chosen by the community
-Hopefully bring new people into the crypto community by breaking some of the stigma surrounding the crypto-space
Long Term:
After we have accomplished getting a lot more people comfortable in the crypto-space, we ultimately would like to expand way past individual basis. We would like to talk to charities and non-profits, in an attempt to intertwine the new, exisitng, and future programs with the blockchain. We believe that blockchain technology could help charities and non-profits help a lot more people at a faster rate, by speeding up how quick the funds get to those areas, and how large of a scale they can reach. We plan on soon applying to make our team an actual business in the physical world, because we feel as being a legitimate business would give us benefits we wouldn't have as a crypto-only project. We have talked about it extensively, and we have agreed that if we ever got to the point where this sustains us enough that we could quit our day jobs, and just help people from our community, and around the world; we would do it in a heartbeat.
TL;DR For Long Term:
-Reach out to new, existing, and future charities and non-profits to aid them in taking their work onto the blockchain
-This would allow faster financial aid, and help far more people
-Possibly become a legitimate business to broaden our horizons on both fronts
