Filecoin don't even need an ANN thread. They are bossing it like this without one . I remember reading about the project many months ago and loved the idea except the obvious part where a small time 'investor' such as myself did not stand a chance to participate in any of these exclusive "ICO"s.

Their approach to the ICO though was quite interesting and I would not say too bad either. If I were a big time investor I would have loved to participate in this even if just for the exclusivity it brings initially. Would be interesting to follow how the project develops.
