You have still time to invest but the ico going really fast, more than 4 millions $ in a day it is pretty nice at the moment. A lot of people enjoy datum in invest in the project, I even think that datum will reach the hard cap.

I am not sure how much they have raised. When I posted the screenshot earlier today the counter was over 13000 ETH, now it is back below that amount.

That's strange.. counter that works backwards ?

Well anyway the counter is now on : 12,905.367 ETH
Not bad for a first day I'd say.

I'm sure it will go up a lot quicker if US and Chinese citizens are allowed to participate.

We'd like to have that too, but we also want to be compliant with the law so we're not shut down and killed off, and everybody ends up losing. Thank you for understanding!

I can't understand, we have KYC for this ICO, why do we not open this ICO for U.S citizens? I know the Chinese government banned the ICO field in their country, but U.S just limits this field instead of banned like China.

Probably because it would cost millions in legal fees to get it through the SEC.

Yeah that's the main reason you see so many ICO's not trying to get the US involved. Of course they'd love to have the massive user base, it's just not always feasible.

I've noticed they usually have "No US users allowed" or something similar in very small letters and hard to find. I think they're still hoping a lot of US users will come in and they won't be liable because they posted for them not to.

Yeah, that's definitely not by accident.

U.S. residents and citizens will be able to purchase tokens once they are on the exchange, as well as inside the app. We did not want to allow the purchase of tokens for practically the whole world, while U.S. persons would only receive a SAFT contract (similar to Filecoin, that still hasn't issued tokens to US residents). Once our public token sale completes, and the DAT token is listed - Datum will not limit any individual or business under the free market conditions.

You can read more on SAFT here, but it is not a magic solution for publicly- (or crowd-) funded projects on Kickstarter, IndieGogo or true crowdfunding for startups, such as coin offering or token sales.

You won't have to go through any US regulation doing it this way?
