HUMANIQ: A BRAND NEW BANKING SYSTEM FOR THE 1 BILLION PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO BASIC FINANCIAL SERVICES

Dear Everyone,

It is my great pleasure to introduce you to our revolutionary crypto-project. Over the past year, our team has been meeting UN representatives and doing extensive research on financially depressed and unbanked territories.

Our findings indicate that there is a massive and yet untapped marketplace of over 1 billion potential customers, with negligible competitors within the space. Armed with this knowledge, we have been,tirelessly, working on how blockchain principles, DAPPs and ICO mechanics could be combined to create a new type of cloud-based, global banking system.

Let's be very clear!! We are not talking about some generic mobile app for some traditional bank. Rather, we are looking to implement a whole new and independent ecosystem for the unbanked.

MERGING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, SMART PHONES AND BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION FOR THE WORLD'S FAIREST BANK

During the course of our analysis, we came across numerous hurdles that needed to be overcome. They included:

How to create a fair and equitable system for all of the users?
What if not all the users have access to FIAT currency or a computer for mining purposes?
What if a lot of users do not have access to proper ID documentation?

We, therefore, propose to implement our project on a distributed ownership and open blockchain platform, all of which, will be accessible via a smartphone.Furthermore, we are also considering the use of bio-metric identification to eliminate any potential issues that are associated with the use of signatures or passports as a means of proving one's identity.

After discussing this idea with many blockchain and fintech experts, and, following their very positive feedback, we are now proud to present to you: Humaniq, a new financial ecosystem whose focus is on connecting the unbanked and underbanked, worldwide.

WE VALUE THE COMMUNITY'S FEEDBACK

• We are looking for honest, reliable feedback and welcome your suggestions.
• Our main website can be found here: Humaniq
• A draft version of our white paper can be accessed here: Humaniq Whitepaper
• Please note that this is not the final version and that additional improvements/solutions will be included following discussions with potential users and investors.
• You are also welcome to join the discussion on our Slack

A FAIR PRE-CROWDSALE TO ACCELERATE THE PROJECT

• We have decided to organise a pre-ICO to give an opportunity to our initial supporters to acquire a foothold within our project whilst, simultaneously, allowing us to gauge the interest in our concept.
• We are determined to coalesce Humaniq into a reality and by having an initial monetary contribution, we feel that it will help the community at large to take it more seriously.
• We also feel that it provide a massive incentive to boost the platform's creation. The first tokens will be sold at a substantial discount to those early adopters. If the amount collected is less than the intended 10,000 ETH, full refunds will be issued.

MAIN ICO

The main ICO is projected to happen according to the following model:

Feb. 2017 — Mar. 2017→ Buy the smart-contract →Get 1000 Humaniq Tokens for 1 ETH

We are still working on the finer details and further information will be made available as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we kindly suggest that you acquaint yourself with the proposed mathematical emission model of the Humaniq tokens by referring to the Humaniq Whitepaper.
