An update on the EncryptoTel crowd-sale


Hello everyone, and thank you very much for your support over the course of our crowd-sale.

We would like to state our position on the unexpected investment received yesterday, and why we decided to extend our crowdfund for 24 hours.

Since the launch of our crowd-sale, our users have experienced display issues regarding balances and transactions within our ICO portal. This led many investors to delay making a deposit until the problems were fixed. Despite the efforts of our ICO partners, Incent, this was not possible. We also expected that the total collected in USD equivalent would fluctuate above and below the $3 million cap, due to the exceptionally volatile BTC and WAVES markets at this time. Consequently, we took the step of extending the crowd-sale for a further day — the approximate period of time the portal was affected by DDoS and other problems — to allow last-minute investors the chance to get in.

When we began our crowd-sale, we never expected our final cap of $3 million to be reached — let alone so quickly — and the level of investment in the final hours took us by surprise. In particular, two supporters have invested a huge amount of WAVES, one on the first day of our crowd-sale, and one on the last — this second one increasing the total by more than $1 million above our intended cap. (From the block-chain, it appears that the first and second deposits were from different investors.) When we realized that there was little possibility of the USD total dropping back below $3 million, we closed the crowd-sale for good.

*‘As an escrow for Waves, I can assure EncryptoTel investors that the additional funds raised after the ICO cut-off time will be used in an appropriate way by EncryptoTel team. The decision to prolong the ICO for 24 hours was quite reasonable, since the investment target was reached through an appreciation in the exchange rates, and many investors were unprepared for such an abrupt end to the crowd-sale.’ *— Sasha Ivanov, CEO of Waves and escrow for EncryptoTel

Whilst this second large deposit has been controversial within the community, this was an extremely generous gift to our project, and thanks to this generosity we now have new opportunities to develop our product and company. I therefore want to express my immense gratitude for the patience and trust shown to us during the ICO. All the investments received above the expected amount will be spent exclusively on the development of our product and further expansion of the stated functionality.

Distribution
Our next step is to distribute tokens to investors. This will require a thorough audit of all balances and a final calculation of ETT token supply, in order to issue the asset accurately. (Token supply is not fixed in advance for our model, but depends on the amount of funds raised, so the additional funds mean there will be more tokens rather than each investor receiving each fewer of the same supply.)

We estimate this will take around two weeks. When the process has been completed, will will publish instructions for how to withdraw them from the ICO portal.

Hey everyone, just an update for you from the Encryptotel Dev Team on how things are going.

  1. The audit is going well, but is not completed yet. We thank you for your patience, we want to make sure we get this right and are erring on the side of caution.

  2. Investor's ETT displays work in the ICO portal now, use this url: https://encryptotel.icotech.me/login

Please note: Bonus may still not be reflected properly in your balance. Fix for this is being worked on. Your data is all safe on the blockchain.

  1. Bounty distribution will be after Investor distribution. Investors will have the opportunity to sell into the buywall first, should they decide to exit.

  2. Distribution currently has no set date. I do not know who started the rumors, but they are not true. It will be in a reasonable amount of time. We're just being very careful.

  3. We are talking to exchanges, but we cannot name any of them unless they post publicly first. Thank you for your understanding.

  4. If you have any Bounty-related questions please use this thread or contact Sylon directly

7 We thank you for your patience in this matter. If you have any questions you can feel free to PM the team on bitcointalk forums, or DM them on slack.

A bit of news on the upcoming distribution:

  • A test email will be going out today to investors, so the team can determine who is still not receiving it. As you recall, the team has been collecting email addresses of those who did not receive the first one.
  • The Incent team audit is completed, the ETT team is now auditing. Later today, or early tomorrow, test tokens will be issued and blockswap platform will be thoroughly tested in preparation for distribution. This testing will be done internally. The team should be ready to give you the next steps prior to distribution soon.
  • The team cannot give a ETT total yet, until they finish their audit. One audit is done, one left to go. It should take much less time than the first one, and it has already begun.
  • More news is coming very soon. The team will keep you updated, thank you for your patience!
