It´s been a long way since we started this project on August last year! I remember the first beers with Federico talking about how to merge Blockchain and Bittorrent to create incentives for users to become seeders. Federico was working in Xapo at that moment and I was still in charge of branding on RSK. We meet Pablo in November at LaBitConf in Buenos Aires, and were already trying to bring Javier to the team. By the beginning of 2017 we decided to move forward with this together, and we got the MVP ready for May, just in time to promote it at Consensus 2017.
Then the ICO fever started. And it was contagious. And we saw the potential of our project to fit in, based on how we´ve had already built a full token economy. So we decided to go for it, but not rushing. Not expecting to raise more than that we needed in order to fully develop this project.
We have developed amazing partnerships! We got the support of RSK team, and also from people really close to Ethereum´s core. Creating a solution that can scale on a blockchain ecosystem needs support from their core teams.
We´ve seen how media from all around the world spoke about Flixxo: Forbes magazine, TechCrunch, Huffington Post, Cointelegraph… and the list is really, really big!
We are close to Hollywood studios, famous YouTubers and large OTT companies and advertisement solutions. We will disclose some of these partnerships very soon!
We´ve been away from home, showcasing the working platform at every conference from Amsterdam to Hangzhou, from London to Kiev.
And we are here today, looking at the countdown on our web page saying that we have less than 24hs to see if we can really have the support of the community on this adventure. Presale is doing great, we will publish that info as it closes on Monday 23th, midnight UTC.
We have a commitment on the date: October 24th, 14hs CET. 9:00AM our time in Argentina (we will be spending the night at the office today) We know it is not the best moment for an ICO, the market is kinda slow and crazy nowadays, all the uncertain regulation issues waiting for certainties, hard forks… But we will move ahead, we are confident we will make an awesome crowdsale on our utility token.
On the other hand when we set the hard cap price of ETH was around $200, and our intention, as stated some lines up there, is not to raise more than what we need to develop this project. We are confident that our business model will be sustainable before the second year.
As an incentive for those who have already trusted in this project and for those who are joining us on the token sale, we have decided to burn 100M tokens. Total issuance will be 900M tokens and 200M tokens will be available at token sale. We expect to raise an amount between 10–12M and we really believe that anyone will be able to participate on the first day and get a 30% bonus. There is no minimum contribution.
If there were remaining tokens after the ICO, THEY WILL BE BURNED.
Of course all our channels are open, all our team members are there to answer your questions during the whole ICO process!
ICO opens tomorrow, there is no whitelist. Address for deposit will be only shown at:
www.flixxo.com and our partners´ website www.icofunding.com
We wont publish the address on social channels. We will not send you a private message with this address. Trust no one, please! We have both websites audited, as well as the smart contract.
Tokens will be received immediatly after making the contribution at the same address from which the contribution has came. Flixx will be locked until the end of the ICO.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! We are super excited of the upcoming times and we know we will deliver a solution for a real problem and a really disruptive model that will be replied on different industries in this ecosystem!
