Topic: WINGS ★ Where DAO Unicorns Are Born! ★ Token launched! - page 46. (Read 522800 times)

Good to see new project is live for prediction this is good achievement to get chance to take part into price discovery event on new platform. I hope now this will find the good way to grow rapidly.

The beta version of wing platform is really a vast improvement from the previous one. Nice work  developers team of Wings . I really am looking for the RSK implementation on the next major release.

Many changed their views about this project once everything was cleared up. You can look at the current forecast stat below.

I think you're right. Many projects make mistakes at different stages of their existence, it's naturally. The most important thing is that the error does not lead to irreparable consequences.

I have no questions to this project. Many have made the flag of this project, but I think it is unfair. Everyone has mistakes, but it is always necessary to give a chance to correct.

Thank you for the feedback!

I am currently based in London for a 6-month acceleration program for OS.UNIVERSITY, funded by the European Commission though the '''Erasmus for Entrepreneurs'' program, (https://medium.com/the-os-university-blog/european-comission-awarded-os-university-with-a-financial-grant-for-further-acceleration-c10456623d23). SO I can reassure you that if we would not fail the community of backers, because  before we got into the ICO-space, we were already responsible in front of the institutions we represent, and which have already backed us far before the launch of our tokensale.

Having said that, we need to be clear - 90+ percent of startups (even academic spin-offs as ours) fail. These are the facts, and the crypto-world is no-difference, but we have the strong institutional backing of the Technical University of Sofia though the Center for Open Science, and our system will be live to serve both the University and other universities and learners worldwide, no matter the outcome of the tokensale.  As simple as that.

Therefore we use to say we don't have a soft-cap, because what is a soft-cap if not a statement that you won't work on your project if people don't give you their money... This is by far the most scandalous idea in the crypto-world, because it is a disclaimer you don't really belive you are capable of executing upfront. In contrast to this concept, we build a system, which we love, which our partners support, and which at least according to certain BIG names such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise (https://livingprogresschallenge.hpe.com/idea-awards/) the world needs! (check for the Open Source University among the top 10 social innovation ideas globally)

For us, the tokensale is a fair way to raise funds for the project by distributing our token in advance, but as i said in my Bloomberg TV interview, it is not an end-goal. The hard-cap that we have does not mean that we are focused on selling the full amount of tokens that are being generated, which is what a ''money grab'' operation would be focused around. This amount of tokens is based on a appraisal, regarding the edtech market and our niche within this market, done before the token generation. The appraisal is available in our documents section at https://os.university/project/ (middle of the page)

Instead of speculating how much of this overall pool will be distributed though the token-sale towards early backers, and how much will remain for the user-base to acquire through the platform in order to use our platform's services post-June, we are solely dedicated on building our platform itself, and advancing our research in the field in parallel. Maybe this is an odd strategy, maybe it is the right strategy. Either way, it is definitely not a ''money-grab'' strategy, I am sure you will agree.

Finally doubts will be cleared about the future of OS.UNIVERSITY the team is trying hard to clear the all issues and show the direction of this project. I hope this project will continue as the team is looking nice so let us see what happen next.

thank you for informations HristianD,
as a phisician I want to believe your project will succeed. It could open doors for something really usefull not just a cash grabing project.
good luck

Thank you for your comment! Only today, I found out about the concerns, being expressed here. We are a bit behind the curve, but I've already asked the team to engage actively with the community in responding to any concerns there might be. We underestimated BitcoinTalk, because 99% of the volume of comments that is generally happening is noise. However the Wings community is extremely vivid and bright in terms of communication, and it is a pity that FUD over-dominates the discussion around our project. Hope to change that.

I would be happy if more of the research is about the fundamentals of a project. So far, most the latest anit-project comments are FUD, related to an error in the WINGs integration, that was communicated and fixed. FAQ article here - https://medium.com/the-os-university-blog/faq-from-the-wings-community-3c4cb8266ddd

In the meanwhile, i will personally thank you anyone who actually look at the project, let's say our latest 20min. interview on BLOOMBERG TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWV8wdh2GgQ and give me feedback that is around our software, business, or community development agenda.

Thanks in advance!

This is nice explanation on ongoing situation where people raised some concerns about the credibility of that project. It sounds great to hear some words from official person I think this will help the people and will clear the doubts about the future of this project.

You are dead right - we are not hiding! I am the founder of the project, and the co-founder of the Center for Open Science at the Technical University of Sofia. As a doctoral researcher, hiding my achievements is the last thing i would ever do!

OS.UNIVERSITY was awarded the best research project in Bulgaria in 2017. You've missed this news? Don't worry, here's a link - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/osuniversity-dec-2017-presale-recap-hristian-daskalov/

Development wise, our project was recognized soon after, by being nominated among TOP 3 of Bulgaria's best IT projects, led by young entrepreneurs. Here's the news at Bulgarian IT Association website - https://bait-awards.bg/News/Izvestni-sa-nominiranite-v-otdelnite-kategorii-ot-konkursa-%E2%80%9ENagradite-na-BAIT%E2%80%9C-za-2017-g/52/ (sorry, you need google translate to read the English version).

Hi. I don't know if the comment above is a sincere one, or a smearing campaign, but let me start by introducing myself and following-up in the kindest of manner possible.My name is Hristian Daskalov. I am a co-founder of the Center for Open Science at the Technical University of Sofia and in that position of mine, I am the founder of OS.UNIVERSITY project.

I cannot express a stronger disagreement with the narrative that you are expressing in regards to the project itself, because this is the first-ever university ICO campaign worldwide, and as such, we have been working for almost 3 years to build the future of education on the blockchain in the most compliant and sustainable manner possible.

While most of your comments around the Wings integration are baseless, because they have clearly been answered already, i would like to speak solely about the project. The integration comments I will leave for my colleagues to answer if they decide that your comments are not biased. (we have a recent post on the subject in Medium, which you haven't looked at - https://medium.com/the-os-university-blog/faq-from-the-wings-community-3c4cb8266ddd)

There is a 20-minute video interview of mine on Bloomberg TV, regarding the project, that was aired just days ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWV8wdh2GgQ . As you will see from the interview itself, we are leading an international R&D edtech initiative, and the crowdsale campaign is just a small, yet important part of what we do. It is not an end-goal and this is quite obvious, given our upcoming launch in JUNE, before the crowdsale (!). What kind of a scam project will launch the actual product prior to the fund-raising round?

And if a team goes ahead with its product, i.e. platform, where its utility token can get in use for the holders, how can this be called a scam with all the ignorance and arrogance on the world? I really try to understand your logic, but it is a logic that excludes actually reading anything that is loosely related to our official documentation at www.os.university.

If you really want to investigate a project investment-wise, start by reading the investment brief at the last page of our pitch deck, where we have clearly outlined the funds raised thus far https://os.university/static/pitch-deck.pdf and the fact that most of our backers are non-retail investors with their names, brands, place on our roadmap and role as early adopters.

And here is something educational to end up with. If you really want to lead people around investing, here is how you valuate a token - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sCN-w0u7wLbsS1VqfnOqPoIFsnILRp8U/view.

Best of luck,
Hristian

The forecast closes in 6 days so if you decide to remove your "scam" flag please wait until the last moment to do this. If everybody does it now we can be sure the 51% required to reject this project will not be reached.

so if there is less than 51%  of red flags than project is not considered as scam and it continues right ?
but what happens if it end up as a scam at the end ? I suppose noone win rewards as there is noone to pay..
anyway,  even if that project is not a scam the reward will be very low

All who decline the O. S. University project, delete the forecast or change it because you will get undeserved deduction in the rating, if project not get 51% FR in the end of forecast! Thank you for listening.

I fully agree with you. Community needs to be more active and attentive in order not to miss such projects as this one.

Maybe. But this situation isn't hinder for many other tokens to rise. Some of them have been rising to own maximum price. And this make me baffled.

I also flagged this project myself, and it is sad to me, that only 11% of the community has flagged this project.

Here are some reasons to flag this project if you have not done so already.

1) This contract used the wings constructor, rather than a custom contract integration, meaning, kyc is not implementd, and since os university has stated kyc will be done, this contract cannot be used, thus, the crowdsale contract they use in the token sale, will not be this one, meaning, there is no guarantee of being awarded no matter how close your forecast is.

2) There pre-sale ends today, and this is the address used for the crowdsale.
https://etherscan.io/address/0x849c2EA2A8f0ED0fe6D28B17Fa0f779d6a45dFf1

All funds sent to the presale address are then sent to this address.
https://etherscan.io/address/0x269d55ef8acfdf0b83ccd08278ab440f87f9e9d8
as you can see, there is only 16.88 ETH (11,485.00 worth of eth) in the presale wallet, and like i said, the presale ends in 5 hours, and has been running for a few months.

Now, i want to point out, that i dug a little deeper, and in fact, they have received more than 16.88 eth to this address. A little more than 50 ETH to be exact. How the hell do people think this project will raise millions in the main token sale, when they only raised 25,000 in over two months!!!
With 58K telegram followers? Give me a break...

Now, you ask, if they collected over 50 ETH in the presale, how come there is only 16.88 eth left in the presale wallet?

These are the addresses where some of the presale eth were sent too.

https://etherscan.io/address/0x3385b9f0eb8c32bbd51b41a3e6d523ebd6f69455
Here you can see, this address has interacted with kraken, poloniex, and bittrex... doesnt that seem odd to you?

https://etherscan.io/address/0xeb15467282497b59013b49d6c0e2df586959d47b
This address has been interacting with binance and poloniex

https://etherscan.io/address/0x1de794e7998607aad3e1958d4a6b09c3037db98a
This address has interacted with binance

https://etherscan.io/address/0x24820b6cf0ef6c4c5a61e90970eddbf050ef7c3e
This address is using presale funds to invest in tokens like RxReal

https://etherscan.io/address/0x991d142e036d49175af64e042a373fdedebdc4b0
This address also has been sending funds to multiple exchanges.

There are a few more addresses, where funds from the pre-sale have been sent.

Is this a scam?

I cannot say for sure, but it is very odd to me how little they have collected during the presale, and what they have been doing with their funds.

Also, how can they be trusted to build a product on blockchain technology, when they do not even know how to build a custom contract to implement with wings in order to have KYC which they stated they will have.

Also, there is no softcap. Why is this bad?
Softcaps, are a way for a project to say, this is the minimum amount of money we need to follow our roadmap, and if we cannot reach this minimum amount, we will return your money to you, as we will not be able to build this product.

Guys, if you have not flagged this project, in my opinion, you are doing a disservice to the blockchain community and the people investing their money into projects of low quality and or that will not be able to have the funds needed to follow thru with their roadmap.

I urge the WINGS community to flag this project, lets help protect investors from low quality ico's

Scam or not, this project is going to be a major flop, IMHO

We need to be able to see the start and end date of the forecast and the date the Payout will occur right at the top of the page.
