Alternative currencies are becoming a part of everyday life, particularly in countries that become unstable. Take for example 2009, when the currency in Zimbabwe collapsed and its citizens began using talk-time minutes as a way to purchase and barter for goods. But it doesn’t take the collapse of any one currency to understand why alternative currencies can be useful and even in some cases safer than a government currency. The DIMND token has taken the idea of alternative currency and added extra value, by using gem quality diamonds as its backing.

The DIMND token is what is known as an Ethereum based token, adhering to the standards of the Ethereum network. The large and considerable difference between other Ethereum tokens and the DIMND token is the fact that each token is backed by a gem quality diamond. You may ask, why use an alternative currency? And the answer can be many; for some, the privacy of an alternative currency is their goal. Unlike traditional currencies where every move is tracked and traced, alternative currencies can be used anonymously. For others, it is a question of profit. For example, BerkShares is a currency that the people of the Berkshires region of Massachusetts have created for their local economy. You may only use these BerkShares in Berkshire County, and you can purchase one full dollar share for only 95 cents. That five cents can add up if you purchase enough shares; buy $475 worth of shares and you have $500 of buying power.

In the case of DIMND tokens, your investment is backed by gem quality diamonds which are forecasted to rise in value by four to six percent annually. You also have the advantage of the diamonds being secured in a Freeport location. For investors, this means they will benefit from being VAT exempted for their initial investment. And while the industries surrounding diamonds may be affected by financial crises, the diamonds themselves often remain stable. This is in large part because the supply of diamonds is heavily dictated by the suppliers themselves; unlike gold which can be recycled and resold.

Once the function becomes available, those who purchase DIMND tokens will be able to use them for daily trading on digital currency exchanges. One may also choose to diversify their investment portfolio with DIMND tokens because, as stated above the expected annual return is between four and six percent.  Because DIMND tokens are backed by physical property (diamonds), potentially it can also be adopted and used as collateral for purchases in the industry. Each DIMND token will represent a fraction of a diamond carat; a carat is a unit of weight, and is equal to 0.2 grams. Each carat can then be subdivided into 100 points. If an investor wishes to redeem their tokens, they may do so for the equal worth of carats in diamonds at any time they wish.

DIMND token offers a different kind of investing experience within the alternative currency arena

As fear about governments stability rise, so does an investors desire to move their money into investment vehicles backed with a solid rise in earnings and free from government reach. Alternative currencies are one of these investment vehicles, giving individuals the ability to put their money into markets which have seen a dramatic rise in value. For example, a $100 investment in Bitcoin in 2011 would see an increase by the end of the year of $1,573.32. Because of this the excitement about the new DIMND token backed by physical diamonds is palpable. “Diamonds are bought for adornment. However, people can consider investing in diamonds from a long-term perspective as demand is only likely to grow,” says Bacchraj Bamalwa, Director, All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation.

The DIMND token is a Ethereum token on a blockchain network. Its difference lies in the fact that each token is backed by a gem-quality, polished diamond held in a secure vault located in a Freeport location. What this means is that investors will benefit from being VAT exempted for their initial investment. And while financial crisis may hit in many different forms, the diamond market remains stable as the supply and demand is tightly controlled. The forecasted rise in demand for diamonds means that a savvy investor can see a rise in their investment by 4% to 6% annually. Because the DIMND token is backed by a luxury commodity, it’s possible to see a faster rate of return on the digital currency exchange than the traditional methods of investing.

Smart contracts are used for the DIMND tokens, assuring a secure, trusted and privacy oriented platform. Eliminating the need for third-party intervention, smart contracts will calculate the amount of yearly DIMND token release and its price based on industry averages. Using smart contracts and blockchain technology gives the investor complete privacy, and assurance of a secure transaction.

The new DIMND token offers a different kind of investing experience within the alternative currency arena. Investors can exchange their DIMND tokens for gem-quality, polished diamonds whenever they wish.

Here is Road Map:
2017 4TH QUARTER:
Development of pre-sale website
Preparing ICO
Pre ICO limited sale.
2018 1ST QUARTER:
ICO Launch and sale of limited number internal tokens
2018 1ST / 2ND QUARTER:
Start of full-scale platform development
Purchase and storage of physical diamonds in a secure vault
2018 4TH QUARTER:
Alpha testing of the platform

Listing of DIMND token on digital currency exchanges
2019 1ST QUARTER:
Full-scale platform launch
Emission and sale of yearly limited amount of DIMND tokens

1) Diamonds will be stored in vaults in Freeport location.
2) Minimum number of tokens to redeem is set to 400. This amount can be redeemed for 0.4 ct diamond. Diamonds purchased and stored will be from 0.4 to 1.5 cts. Those are most in demand and therefore will have better liquidity for investors.
3) Information about dev is available in the whitepaper. Team consists of blockchain and website developers, as well as diamond industry professionals. Project will be overseen, advised by Lucid Rocks limited (retailer/wholesaler of polished diamonds). Lucid Rocks Limited will also handle diamond purchase, storage and management in the future.

There is no plans to introduce airdrops before or during Pre-ICO, but depending on general interest it is something we do also consider in the future.

1) Supply and future emission will be strictly limited to support value of DIMND, so no airdrops will be available
2) All future emissions will only be exclusively available for initial investors in the project, this is also done to secure investors interest in the future
3) DIMND will not only be backed by diamonds. Investors will be able to redeem DIMND for physical diamonds (each DIMND will be 0,001 carats worth) so in case of price drops investors will be able to avoid loses by transferring DIMND to diamonds and selling diamonds.
4) Prices of polished diamonds are expected to grow at a rate of 4%-6% annually up until 2030. So for those who don't want to be involved in everyday trading, DIMND can also mean long term investment.

Diamonds have been known to hold intrinsic value for 1000s of years and there is no indication that it will
change in the near future. Obviously its a lot to do with people perception, as if people will stop consider
diamonds or gold valuable, it will lose all its appeal, but lets face it its not going to happen simply because humans
always need some asset of intrinsic value in times of crisis, inflation, as diversification of their investment, etc.

As for monopoly, its a quasi-monopoly where prices are controlled by few, so in this regard value/prices are unlikely to
drop as it will simply mean no profits and bankruptcy for companies involved. In this situation investors are more
safe, as market is not likely to fluctuate a lot due to speculation.

Position has been filled. Thanks to all who showed interest.
