BEWARE! Dont send ETH to any ETH-adress. I could be scum!
The NEWEST official Whitepaper (from 2018-02-20, yesterday!) said the token is on the NEM Blockchain:
http://www.elpetro.gob.ve/Whitepaper_Petro_en.pdf"Presale
The Pre-sale will start on February 20,2018 and will consist of the creation and sale of smart-asset on the NEM blockchain
platform. This process will promote and guarantee demand for Petros Initial offering, which will be carried out later.
The tokens that meet the requirements of the mosaic on NEM blockchain standard are non minable digital cards that
are issued in their entirety through an intelligent contract on this platform. The presale token will not be part of the
Petro network until Petro distribution during the Initial Offer process. The token may be exchanged for Petro at any time
between the launch date and the closing of the Initial Offer."
so why sending money to an ETH adress, when the Petro is on the NEM blockchain?!!!
So i think it is very clever from the venezualian gov, because i would bet, that the U.S.-Gov. would be targeted the ICO.
Everyone thougt it would be offered on ETH as an EC-20 token, instead it is on the NEM blockchain!
i would bet, that the NEM-coin would rise in the next days. It could be a good idea, the get some... Just in case... ;-)
