To attract the more investors just with the two blockchain hype just like what already did by mobilego, but you can see at the end of the story mobilego was nothing right now rather than a biggest scam project

Is it inevitable or even desirable for blockchains and their ICO's to become more regulated or to least run their ICO's in more risk averse ways such as submitting to AML and KYC checks?
Atlas City Finance has just begun its 1 month pre-ICO which is expected to be popular in part due to the large 30% pre-ICO discount but to offset this the ICO is unusual in that it is being run against a set of AML and KYC checks to protect the business, the blockchain and investors. The question remains whether requiring such strict rules to be applied to investors will deter investors or attract more traditional investors who welcome more voluntary regulation.
Smaller investments up to 1 BTC in value don’t need KYC or AML checks but larger investments can be used to move money illegally which is why such checking can be helpful. Since Atlas City Finance is really trying to establish market credibility for its other products and services such as Plutous then it makes sense to be over cautious of how the Olympus blockchain is funded. It remains to be seen how ICO investors will react to such checks being carried out and it’ll certainly be of interest to other upcoming ICO’s who are considering how to present their coin offerings.

A presentation that combines Plutous and Olympus is provided in the following link. The ICO is just for the Olympus blockchain and its Olympian coins but this presentation looks at the wider Plutous financial services platform and how it makes use of the features of the Olympus blockchain to provide scale, anonymity and smart contracts in more familiar programming languages.

For full disclosure I'm involved in the blockchain and Atlas business but I find the wider question of whether AML and KYC's protection is good or bad for the blockchain industry as a whole very interesting. Sure it makes sense for a commercial organisation in the financial sector but is it over-restrictive for startup's looking to raise money quickly for without being too intrusive into funding sources? What are your views on these kinds of test or regulations more broadly?

• Donations will be sent to two multisignature wallet addresses, one for ETH donations and one for XEM donations.
• A hard cap maximum of 225,000,000 EQC and 225,000,000 XQC tokens will be sold for each crowdsale, representing 60% of the respective supply for each token. This equates to a hard cap of 56250 ETH for the ETH portion of the crowdsale and 56250000 for the XEM portion of the crowdsale.
• The amount of EQC or XQC tokens ultimately sold will represent 60% of the total respective EQC or XQC supply.
• There will be a 15% token bonus for participating within the first three days of the crowdsale. There will be a 7.5% token bonus for the following week (seven days). After the first 10 days of the crowdsale, there will be no more token bonuses.
• The crowdsale will last 30 whole days, or until the entire token supplies are exhausted, whichever occurs first.
• Tokens will be created prior to the commencement of the main crowdsale. Tokens will be transferred in real-time to contributor accounts after their contribution is received.
• Untransferred tokens from the initial supply not purchased during the crowdsale will be burned.
• The minimum threshold to be met for the ETH crowdsale will be 2000 ETH. The minimum threshold to be met for the XEM crowdsale will be 100,000 XEM. If these thresholds are not met, failure will be declared and existing donors will be refunded.
• The XQC to XEM exchange rate will be at 4 XQC per 1 XEM. The EQC to ETH exchange rate will be at 4000 EQC per 1 ETH.
• The  code  for  the  crowdsale  will  undergo  testing  and  audit  by  the  Ethereum  smart contract development firm Zerion and core NEM developers before launch to ensure the security and integrity of the code.
• Resident from the US state of New York and countries sanctioned by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) will be blocked from participation in the crowdsale interface. The OFAC-sanctioned countries to be IP-banned are as follows:  the disputed Crimean region, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.

       

You actually started first but someone else does it first. do you still launch as competition or quit give up and go back in the closet ?

Looking NEM developer for blockchain project $$$

We faced a problem with our Lordmancer II Slack channel. There were many scam messages every day: in private, in general channels, etc. We constantly banned those spammers, but they just registered once again (even the names were the same!). Also each day we saw new members with names like "CEO", "cofounder", etc.

Finally we dicided to close the Slack channel. Now we use Telegram group https://t.me/lm2ico as a main communication channel.

I strongly recommend not to use Slack for ICO campaigns!

Nice websites are pointless without a lovely product.

i still could not figure out how it is built on both Ethereum and NEM blockchains
