Your logic is right however it doesn't work with everyone. It depends from the idea of the ICO and how it could be applicable on the markets, meet your expectations and cover your business needs. People who invest attack more attention to the team first and then to the project. This is based on our own experience, so the conclusion is that reasonable project don't make you to wait for the investments. Again here are we talking about trust and every case is unique. It's hard to make a conclusion based only on your logic. However it's also reasonable.

What we noticed that investors are quite enthusiastic about the idea of the project and the team. Even if the project don't have test platform, however this is not our case. We already have MVP which makes us attractive for investors.

You are right, ICO sites don't provide information on sales results. We will have a dashboard on the site where we can track the sales results.

Every day the project is moving futher and futher. Our IR managers present the project for the investors and discuss terms&conditions for the future relationships. In addition the team is working on attracting new universities to participate in the pilot of the platform in 2019. Community managers successfully running communities in social media. Project team is still working on technical implementations and improvements including new functionality which would be implemented after the pilot. Overall there are lot's of points we work at, as the future plans for expanding the project in different markets need lot's of stuff to do.

We are going to have further investigation of the translations processes. As we are running MVP now so closer to release it will be more details.

We are going to have further investigation of the translations processes. Although we plan to enable the app to translate diplomas and we need to run several tests with universities before we can implement this. As we are running MVP now so closer to release it will be more details.

We plan to ensure the TED Token is made easily accessible and tradeable to the public to ensure platform usage and token liquidity.

The bounty campaign started on October 10th and active during 8 weeks. TrustED platform registration campaign has started on November 14th. It's difficult to forecast how many people we expect to register. However total amount of TED tokens reserved for  TrustED platform bounty campaign is 20% from all the bounty campaign. So it will be spliced between all registered users.

Now we are running private sale so that's why such information is confidential. All the details will be later when the Public ICO starts on January 20th 2019.

TrustED is exploring the possibilities and requirements to implement a feature which would enable the automatic translation of academic certificates/credentials. That being said more research is required as some academic credentials issued by institutions has majority image, rather than text. Automatically translating image (logo, signatures etc) is a task which we need to further research on through trials and upgrades, as opposed to simple text whereby a translation tool would be implemented.

You are absolutely right and there is no doubt that the real knowledge and skills no-one can take away it from you. This is why this project was created and the idea to protect people with the real knowledge and skills from the scammers. For the HR department that would be really useful and easier as this platform gives guarantee that the diploma is authentic.

The Bounty Campaign has started on October 10th and will last for 8 weeks. It's difficult to make any forecast on how many people will register at the platform, however we have 20% of tokens for TrustED Platform registration campaign which will be spitted among all the participants.

Sure, here is the list of the events which TrustED project already attended:
September 11-13 Easter Economic Forum (Vladivostok)
September 26th Forbes - Tech investment forum (Moscow)
October 1-2 - EdCrunch (Moscow)
October 8-11 EduTech in Singapore

I like the way you think. Absolutely right, we also plan the cover European market. However the platform could be used world wide in every university/school all over the world. Which means that we just start with Asian market then we will cover more areas and more markets.

Our plan to expande the TrustED Ecosystem into the Asian region. The Asian region consists of: China/Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, India. However we also plan to expand it on European market as well.

TrustED already has partnership with the following academic institutions:
Edway
Upgrad
Cyprus international institute of management
PDM University
+4 other Academic Institutions under NDA
And during the pitch at EduTECH, Asia’s largest education conference and exhibition in Singapore, October 8th-11th, TrustED attracted interest from over 10 academic institutions in the Asian region and is in discussions with Moodle, RMIT, and several private academic schools from the regions. The platform is open to new collaborations.

Academic Credentials which are stored digitally are stored on centralised servers. Centralized servers are prone to system downtime due to maintenance or malfunction, potentially limiting the access to academic credentials.
TrustED fully solves this problem and now a third party cannot make changes, edits or removals to the system, or the information present on the system.
TrustED utilizes secure cryptographic mechanisms to ensure the data (academic credentials and information) stored on the ecosystem is protected and kept secure. Cryptographic encryption mechanisms as well as the ability to choose who can and can’t view your credentials gives control back to the academic credential recipient.

TrustED utilizes secure cryptographic mechanisms to ensure the data (academic credentials and information) stored on the ecosystem is protected and kept secure. Cryptographic encryption mechanisms as well as the ability to choose who can and can’t view your credentials gives control back to the academic credential recipient. The student/employee can either accept or deny the request ensuring they are the ones with full control over their academic credentials. With no central point to be exploited the system is protected against hacking attacks and fraud.
