[ANN - Pre-ICO] BlockPay - Zero Cost, digital currency Point-Of-Sale systems

[kingslanding]

How are  the 2nd blockpay ICO tokens (2017) going to differ from the current ones trading on openledger?  Wondering if it's better to buy the current traded tokens or wait for the 2nd ICO.  Any insights?

Hi guys, I want to give you a short update about BlockPay and what we have been working on the last few days.

We had to fire our old marketing partners because they did not perform the way we wanted. We now added 2 more people to the core team who will be in charge of all social media channels and keep reporting about our journey. One of the first articles is out already, check out bitshares[/member]-munich/the-faces-behind-blockpay-christoph-and-rodrigo]https://steemit.com/blockpay/@bitshares-munich/the-faces-behind-blockpay-christoph-and-rodrigo .

For direct updates please also follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/BlockPay_ch and on Facebook https://facebook.com/blockpayde and on Steemit https://steemit.com/@bitshares-munich

Latest Development
Let us take a look at the current software development. We are making great process in the IPFS in C development and further decentralizing the BlockPay core and building up the BlockPay engine. This new DAP structure allows us to install BlockPay on any kind of hardware! Not only on Android and iOS but also on a raspberry pi´s and other mainframes. Imagine you could pay with your Bitcoin at vending machines, petrol stations, power sockets, doors, etc.
We are already talking with industry partners for upcoming integration.

On the other side, we are working on a redesign of the current UI/UX to increase merchant adoption. The onboarding process gets redesigned as well as the settings cleaned out. I will soon share some first design mockups to the community.

Meanwhile, we are ramping up development work with stealth transaction on the Bitshares blockchain. We are now able to hide (sender,receiver,amount,memo field, meta data) from blockchain explorers. Only a timestamp will be left. Stealth is a highly requested feature for all merchants who want to move corporate funds on a blockchain. With this feature, we actually build a hybrid between a public and a private blockchain and give the whole industry a new option to store and move funds on a blockchain. Together with a scalable blockchain, stealth transactions gonna be faster, more secure, more private and easier to use than ZCash or Monero. More exciting news about our development here in the following weeks.

Due to high demand! Step by Step Tutorial how to buy BlockPay Tokens in Pre-ICO bit.ly/2c28MgA

[Chris4210]

Very important for tomorrow:

Phase 1 starts August 20th, 2016
We offer a special deal for our early supporters and current OPENPOS holders. We want to personally thank everyone who supported us during our first crowdfunding December 2015. We would not exist without you! We offer you an early access and a special buy back deal where you can exchange your existing OPENPOS tokens to BlockPay tokens 1 to 1.20!

How do you do this?
Simple. Send your OPENPOS TOKENS to account: ico.blockpay on OpenLedger or other bts supported platforms and await distribution. Your proof of transfer is on the blockchain and this amount is deciding how many BLOCKPAY tokens you will receive. The special offer runs only from August 20th  to start of Pre-ICO.

[Chris4210]

OPENPOS was originally suppose to get 50% of all fee's generated by the Oodoo terminals.  What happened to that?  What if we choose not to sell our OPENPOS?

The problem I see is that you are only allotting 0.6% of the total supply of blockpay tokens to OPENPOS holders.  OPENPOS holders should receive at least 20% of the total supply.

  Also based on your math... you are valuing each block pay at approx $0.216.  Giving you a valuation of approx $21.6 million at ICO time.  How do you come to this sort of valuation. ?

I'm still wondering why you are valuing Blockpay at $20million dollars...

The first crowd fund for OPENPOS gave you a valuation of approx $50thousand.  Do you think your current product suite and development justifies this massive increase in valuation.  It's extremely high in my opinion especially considering the funding environment for tech start ups.

Hey Lil Jay thank you for your good questions. Since I get that questions quite often I want  to link to my other answers as well. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1587349.msg15952284#msg15952284

Yes, our evaluation seems high on the first view and I have a good reason for that. We are building basic tools (mobile wallets, the point of sales systems) for all major Blockchain currencies and approach the market with a completely new strategy. We have to leave the technical details of Blockchain behind and focus on the consumer burning pains and demands. In comparison to many other ICO´s who just got a White Paper or an idea we create a full range of 5 working proof of concepts to validate our business idea and capabilities. BlockPay and Echo and the Smartcoins Wallet are solving real-life problems, and are an open platform for countless other business models and use cases.

We only collected around 25,000 USD with the OPENPOS sales and gained a little bit with the BTS price increase this spring. Now, we are giving back 600,000 BlockPay tokens in a value of +100,000 USD to all OPENPOS holders. I know many early supporters who could triple their invest if they decide to exchange.

On August 23rd 2016 CCEDK.com and it's Crowdfunding 3.0 of ICO OpenLedger (ICOO) will be introducing a new ICO as part of its monthly goal to do up to four different types of ICO's, each unique and special and all doing their contribution to bringing a whole lot of added value to the world.

CCEDK will be crowdfunding development and marketing for BlockPay’s Echo app, a really slick piece of technology that will enable customers to pay easily in any of a dozen or more crypto coins, and merchants to accept crypto payments at no extra cost! CCEDK has accepted as well to act as the escrow for this pre-ICO, issuing the asset as well as doing the distributon.



You can invest in two ways:

1. The ICO page on the BlockPay.ch website and
2. The ICO LIVE button on the CCEDK.com website.
You may as well also simply send payments directly to the dedicated BlockPay escrow account on OpenLedger named ico.blockpay, as the registration on the blockchain will be all the proof you need to receive tokens at the end of the crowdsale.

For more information about BlockPay and Echo, see https://blockpay.ch/. We think this ICO is a great opportunity to help bring this pioneering blockchain technology to market!

Kind regards,

Ronny and the CCEDK team

Since the questions have been already answered on Steem, I just copy and past the answers here plus the link.

The function for old OPENPOS tokens stays the same. You can choose between the buyback or keeping them. However, OPENPOS tokens are limited to Odoo transactions only. BlockPay tokens give you access to all our products (Smartcoinswallet, Echo, BlockPay, Stealth and more) .

We are giving more than 3 to 4 x back to OPENPOS holders. Our early adopters bought for 15-21 BTS per OPENPOS and we buy back for +32 BTS per Token, more than double!

We crunched the numbers several times, with an international BlockPay Ambassador team of +45 people in +20 countries and first big corporations running down our doors to finally get integrated with BlockPay we have all elements in place to bring Blockchain technologies to the market. We are starting on 5 continents and expect a huge growth and a faster user adoption. The economy is ready for Blockchain-based financial systems. We are providing the right tools for business to get started and save time, money and increase security. We are ready.

Connecting different merchants, whales, bankers, traders and individuals together on one public ledger raises privacy concerns. How can you, as a business, prevent blockchain espionage of your competitors? A lot of companies are afraid their competitors could analyze their daily sales volume, metadata, consumer behavior or daily turnover in every store. This would be an extremely competitive advantage! They now have to choose between a public ledger or a private ledger. We would prefer to offer them the third option, a public ledger that keeps their accounts and amounts undetectable.

Stealth Transactions gives anybody 100% privacy on a public ledger. Every balance and transaction is verified by the Blockchain but not traceable with a Blockchain Explorer.


Read the official announcement about Stealth transactions.. You will love the ultimate in privacy.




BlockPay is a FinTech / Blockchain development company specializing in digital payment services. We are passionate Blockchain enthusiasts and want to provide easy to use software for everyone. We develop Point-Of-Sale and mobile payment software based on modern Blockchain technologies.

A total of 100,000,000 non-dilutable “BlockPay” tokens have been issued and will be distributed for early supporters, bounties, and campaigns throughout the full period and timeline of the Crowdfunding.

6,500,000 ”BlockPay” tokens will be distributed in this dedicated Pre-ICO during Phase 1, 2 and 3.

All remaining “BlockPay” tokens will be locked away in a dedicated reserve fund created by OpendLedger/CCEDK (they are acting as our escrow partner) and used in a 2nd Crowdfunding expected to take place in 2017. The BlockPay team has no access to these reserve funds.  We offer you in this Pre-ICO a special discount of up to 42% from the initial sales price of 0.0005 BTC/BlockPay Token



Phase 1 starts August 20th, 2016
We offer a special deal for our early supporters and current OPENPOS holders. We want to personally thank everyone who supported us during our first crowdfunding December 2015.

BlockPay tokens will be available for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), BitShares (BTS) and Steem Dollars (SBD) and as well as multiple other digital  currencies, using the ShapeShift exchange converting of all other currencies into BTC at a fixed rate during Phase 2 and Phase 3. We will move into Phase 3 when all tokens from Phase 2 have been sold.

All funds can be monitored at all times on the OpenLedger dedicated escrow account ico.blockpay and all BTC in this address are held in a multisig escrow account only to be accessed at the end of the ICO. All Escrow services are provided by CCEDK.
