** Pillar supporters,
The day is almost here! We’re busy in the kitchen cooking up your order. We’ll serve it Saturday morning, piping hot. Here’s what you need to know today …

** For Americans
Here’s an interesting piece just published on the legal issues of Americans and token sales (https://medium.com/@coinjob/why-are-u-s-icos-scared-of-the-sec-272e2b60c1fa) . He explains why token sales need not be concerned about the SEC and securities laws. It’s one informed person’s opinion, but it’s well informed. He’s breaking the trend of fear and “just to be safe” lawyers’ advice. I hope there will be more to follow. Appreciate how difficult it is for a group like ours - the last thing we want is to be made an example of, but we hope the tide turns in the right direction.
** An Amazing Team
We have an incredibly dedicated core team, an enthusiastic secondary team, and more strong consultants and supporters than we can count. First, I’d like to thank the tireless work of Michael, Partha, Tomer, Yogesh, Vitor, Jude, Max, Ralph, Jacek, Rugi, Rui, and many others, often getting up at 4am for video meetings. The core team is really starting to work well together (even if we screw up the newsletters). Our secondary support of Gus, Lucas, Michael, Ron, Shane, Daniel, Manny, Alvaro, Roy, Marco, James, Alex, Sylon, the Vindyne group, and many others have been there when we needed them. Our amazing team at FamousPublicity.com has practically become a crypto-PR firm overnight. They are handling the blog and getting the word out all over the place. We thank the team at DLT Labs in Toronto (http://dltlabs.io) , who have helped us tighten and review our smart contracts incredibly professionally. We also thank our initial cash presale investors, who let us fund the project entirely through
pillars.
** Thank YOU!
We’ve seen an amazing outpouring of support! Some people have bought Pillar-related domain names just to give us in case we want to use them. Some have held events. Several have committed to meet us in Slovakia (http://www.pillarproject.io/join-us) . Here are just a few quotes from messages we’ve received:
Pillar Team!!! You guys have been great! David, you have gone above and beyond in the communication process. You laid everything out concisely in the interviews and videos. In a project of this magnitude there are going to be a couple of glitches. You shake it off and you move forward … I am thrilled to be a part of this. Cheers!
- Greg
I absolutely love all of you involved! Rather than build on ‘built to fail systems’ you all come from a fresh start from what we have learnt and know to date. Brilliant! I am 100% with you all! Absolutely great work!
- Chris
What an AMAZING NEW WORLD we are discovering together! Thanks to Daniel [sic] and all the Pillar Team!
- James
I may not have much crypto now but I want to get in and go far with all of you.
Good luck with all the hard work you have done and are doing. I have faith in you.
- Frank
** The Price is Set
We have set the price of one Pillar token at 0.0005 ether - the same price as the presale but without the bonus token. We will have 528 million tokens available for the sale. After seeing several other projects successfully raise over $200 million, we feel we are asking the right amount and promise to spend it very carefully. Don’t be greedy - be lean and pivot often.
** Where is the Address?
If we sent it to you now, it wouldn’t be a public sale. We’ll send you the contract address tomorrow, July 15th, at 8am London time (GMT + 1). It will also be on our purchase page.
** Is Your Wallet Loaded?
If not, follow the instructions …
The Pillar Project Purchase Page (https://pillarproject.io/purchase/)
** What’s a Good Strategy?
This is what I would do if I were buying tomorrow: I would simply send all the ether at the starting time, using 60 Gwei and 200,000 gas limit. That’s the best you can do. It will get in or it won’t - let the blockchain sort that out. Remember, if you get them, you have what you’re looking for, but if you don’t, you’re no worse off (well, very little) than you were before. And you’re still a member of the Pillar family.
Remember - if your ether is still in your wallet, you didn’t get tokens (please don’t email us about this), and if your ether is gone, you are in.
** What’s Next?
We assume you’re not eager to sell your tokens, but a) we’ll be working on an exchange as soon as tokens are issued, and b) we’ll send out in another newsletter how to see your tokens. They’re on the blockchain, so you don’t need to worry, but we’ll tell you how to show them in your MyEtherWallet. You can’t do that tomorrow, so don’t worry about it. You will probably get another newsletter sometime over the weekend, depending on how things go. In the meantime, you can …

** Remember the Goal
The goal here isn’t to get you tokens or get us as much money as the market will bear. The goal is to change the world. We have thousands of supporters wanting to give us a few ether, and we love them because they believe in us. You don’t need to buy our tokens to believe in the Pillar purpose:
- Enable identity and data sovereignty for all
- Get rid of accounts - put your own assets under your control
- Turn apps into services
- Build the new data infrastructure and the Pillar brand, so that the Pillar system becomes the default system for managing all mobile devices
If you believe in that, your next step is to get ready to buy tokens tomorrow. And that’s just the beginning.
** A Call to Action
Frankly, we have no idea how many ether to expect tomorrow. It could be anything. But now is the time. We ask you to reach out to five friends, or readers, or viewers, and ask them to support us. We have a very strong grassroots base. We would be happy to say that the little guys carried the day. We can’t guarantee all will get tokens who want them, but if you believe in what we’re doing, please help us spread the word. We may be hiring several of you soon!
** Finally ...
Jacek, our ace social ninja, put together a short highlight reel from various videos, we hope you enjoy it:
Watch the Highlight Reel from the Pillar Campaign (
I’m proud to say that we have financed the entire Pillar token sale effort - thousands of hours and many hard costs - entirely out of the sale of Pillar tokens. And with about 8,000 people on our mailing list, we are building a community to move this project forward. You’ll be invited to our new online community next week.
Best of luck to you from David Siegel and the all-volunteer Pillar team.

Thank you for posting this! I got the latest e-mail from the Pillar Project too and thought of posting it.
I am locked and loaded for the ICO sale. Are you ready?
I just have to wake up in the middle of the night. This is usually not a problem for me.
I hope we are both able to get in on the ICO for Pillar.
Have a great weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
I got in on the first round with a good hunk'O PLR, so I am now just watching it and rooting for those (like you @etcmike ) to get in on round two... good luck!
Congratulations! You got in on the 10% bonus.
This is my first ICO sale, it will be interesting and I do hope I get in.
Thanks!
Mike
Yes 10% that was nice... It was my first pre-sale... I bet it is interesting tomorrow.
Buy and hold for at least one year! This helps stabilize the market and maximises returns. Ignore the swings. Thank me later. Upvoted!
Hell I'll thank you now...THANKS.
Thanks... missed the pre ico by an hour. Can't wait. This is not "just another ico". The Concept and vision really will change the world. Thanks to David Siegel's for his recent videos. upvoted and followed. Please return that ;-)
Good luck with it... if you get in on it, let us know.
Another day, another ICO... sigh
Not sure how some of these ICOs even come up with their valuations!
Maybe but some do have value... I for one invested in this one as I will be using it.
Fair enough but their "gray paper" at a glance doesn't give me the confidence to invest. To each their own I guess
I hear ya, But with the sale figure for the first pre-sale needing to be shut down as maxed was reached in less than 45 minutes, there may be something to it... but like I said, I would like this product. You know half the battle is in the marketing or any coin from VERI to PPT, they did a great job which says a lot about their business approach as well compared to others... but TIME WILL TELL.
will be looking to hold some :) what say ?
Ah I can not say as I can only say for myself.
new ICO another one
Yes another one... but not all ICO are the same, some like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Steem are good ones... Just as I believe in these (among others), I am believing in this one as well.
Wow! Excellent post brother thank you for the information! And vote, please if you vote for my comment, I would really appreciate it :)
Is there any way to flag this guy? He keeps posting the same non-relevant comment on each post and is clearly on Steemit to make money. @awpmaster - this is a curating/publishing platform. If you don't have anything meaningful to comment or publish, then I'm afraid you're on the wrong site
FYI, his comments: https://steemit.com/@awpmaster/comments
Thanks,hope you can partake.
