Topic: Telegram Open Network: Pavel Durov launch ICO (Read 957 times)

Yep it is copy pasted from https://help.liquid.com/en/articles/3055524-telegram-open-network-faq - In fact you could simply copy this onto google and put "" quotation marks and search for the exact sentences. You would too be able to land on the same sites that have these ditto texts.

But why message me? I am not a serial copy paste buster, nor am I a forum admin and it seems like he is in the Cryptotalk campaign, so Yahoo should be the person you message to. Not me.

In any case, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Not sure if I can do anything though.

wtfffff? Looks like you just made a copy paste from a article somewhere online. Why you so dumb? can someone confirm this?

What is Telegram Open Network?
Telegram Open Network (TON) is a blockchain network project designed to be fast, secure, scalable and capable of handling millions of transactions per second. TON is designed to be a competitor to Ethereum’s smart contracts and decentralized applications while also being extremely scalable.

Why TON?
According to Telegram, TON has been created in response to the inability of existing blockchain platforms to push for mainstream cryptocurrency adoption. TON’s solution meets the speed and scalability needs required for mass adoption of cryptocurrency while retaining its decentralized nature.

What is Gram?
The Gram token is the native utility token of TON and it is denoted by the TON triangular symbol. Gram will serve as the principal cryptocurrency for the in-app economy on Telegram and will also be available for external use. Gram will serve as the principal cryptocurrency for the in-app economy on Telegram and will also be available for external use. Until now, the only way to buy Gram tokens has been through private sale rounds, which were not open to the public. The Gram Token Sale on Liquid will be the first opportunity for the general public to buy Gram tokens. We anticipate Gram becoming one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, as well as potentially the world’s most adopted cryptocurrency with the coming launch of TON to Telegram’s 200 million active users.

What are the use cases of Gram?
Gram will be used for a variety of services on TON. Services will include:

Commission ("gas") paid to TON nodes ("validators") for processing transactions and smart contracts.
Stakes deposited by validators to be eligible to validate transactions and generate new blocks and coins.
Capital lent out to validators in exchange for a share of their reward.
Voting power required to support or oppose changes in the parameters of the protocol.
Payment for services provided by apps built on the platform (TON Services) Payment for storing data securely in a decentralized way (TON Storage).
Payment for registering blockchain-based domain names (TON DNS) and hosting TON-sites (TON WWW).
Payment for hiding identity and IP addresses (TON Proxy).
Payment for bypassing censorship imposed by local ISPs (TON Proxy).
Gram will also be available for use outside of TON like any other cryptocurrency currently in the market.

gaah when TON was sold in ICO it sold for seconds. I  dont know if the team is still focused in what they promised and if the investors are still hyped up about the initial promise.. since libra i dont know whether TON can be relevant anymore. Any thoughts from someone else that feels like me?

Is the pre ico Telegram fake or not? site ico-telegram.org

Thanks

A very steamy event on the ISO market, there are already a lot of fake sites, and yet there is no official information. Stupidity of people knows no boundaries

Many people have strange feeling whether owners of telegram are being conducted by them because i think for what purpose they are conducting the ICO. But they are using the name of Telegram, we have to wait and see who is conducting and who is the owners.

Very interested in this ICO but until now I did not get much information about this ICO. When will it start, how to contribute and blah blah .. Can anyone tell me where to go to get all these answers

the largest group i can find https://t.me/TONcommunity
there are good guys, do not lie and do not ask to buy them a gram))

Looks like the Telegram coin (gram) is not a myth..
As TechCrunch reports today citing ‘multiple sources,’ Telegram is aiming to raise up to $500 mln in private sales.

TON is basically a user-friendly cryptocurrency built on the blockchain platform, allowing users to transfer money quickly and securely from one wallet (light wallet) to another.
According to Rozenberg’s (a former member of Telegram’s publishing division) FB post, one of the uses of TON is to aid users that are living under oppressive governments, allowing them to transfer money swiftly using its cryptocurrency, as well as create smart contracts. It will offer an attractive feature that favors countries governed by authoritarian regimes:
“In Iran and Uzbekistan, no international financial system has been established because of sanctions and financial reforms. The last time I was there it was impossible to find ATM or cards. Cash is used everywhere.” - here are some more details: TON to Be Used to Aid Users Living Under Oppressive Governments

I want to exploit this coin?

Durov said it was a fake. At least on the site where the video was, he called spam. But if it turns out to be true - it will be cool

If that were the case that Durov announced about it in their social networks and give a formal statement ... This is a Scam?

Cool, can't wait to see the ICO. Anybody knows the official website or social media pages of TON ?  Many thanks

I can't believe this is not getting more traction.  180 Million Users with access to a new crypto built in to Telegram! 

Hope it pans out and they offer a decent token sale!

What will FB do?  They will have to adopt/integrate a wallet eventually which is another big opportunity for which coin they decide to integrate with , (if they dont develop there own).  They have probably waited due to regulatory concerns - perhaps they will go with a Coinbase/SEC "blessed" coin if they take the plunge.

all I want for christmas is to be whitelisted..

It's still unclear if the upcoming ico is by Durov or Rosenberg

the news is good but we have to wait for the official announcement from Durov.
