"Wow." — Day 1 of the Rush Coin Pre-ICO
Yesterday was the first day of the Hash Rush crowdsale. And at the end of the day, all we could say was:
"Wow."
Seeing the positive response to the Hash Rush project has been amazing. People from all over the world have decided to participate in the Pre-ICO and get their hands on the first Rush Coins. We particularly didn’t expect to see so much interest from Japan, where the gaming industry is, of course, booming.
The vibe at Hash Rush HQ has also been great. The first Hash Rush investors have validated our unique proposition and we’re even more eager to do the best we can for all investors and future players of Hash Rush. We’re definitely on the right track to make the first hash-powered browser game a reality!
Pre-sale Day 1 by the numbers
Let’s take a look at the numbers of the first day of the Hash Rush Pre-ICO:
- Number of investors: 7
- Funds raised: around $390,000
- Percentage of Pre-ICO hard cap reached: 26%
- Number of RC tokens reserved in the Pre-ICO phase: around 1.3 million
- Number of RC tokens left in the Pre-ICO phase: around 3.7 million
Clearly, yesterday was a great day for the Hash Rush project. And the fact that the Pre-ICO launch went well was not the only good news: we also heard that Hash Rush has been featured in the Huffington Post.
In short, the crowdsale has gone beyond our expectations and we can’t wait to see what the coming days of the pre-sale will hold.
If you’re thinking about joining our Pre-ICO yourself, remember that there is a minimum entry threshold of 5 BTC, 50 ETH, 1000 ETC or 1000 QTUM. In return, you get a bonus of 25% in additional Rush Coins, early access to the game, unrestricted access to choosing a Faction, and if you’re fast, one of the 3 remaining unique miner cards. Or you can wait until the official ICO, which starts 13 September. You’ll receive fewer bonuses, but it has a minimum entry threshold of just 0.1 ETH.
Again, a big thank you to all our contributors, social media followers, investors and future investors, and we hope to see you here on Steemit, Medium, Twitter, Bitcointalk, Reddit, or Slack.

Woah is this the offical hash rush team or related personnel on steemit?!
Hi @naysayer, yes this is the official account of Hash Rush! Let us know if you have any questions or comments :)
Oh cool! Looking forward to the game and will be joining on 13th september.
Good luck to you all
so... check your balance, guys ;)
Am I number 8? (50.5 eth... :))
PS I am not a whale, lol.... just got the big bulk of my investments out of the market because I am not sure what to expect in the next few months.... and I am a gamer at heart.
Hi @rusty75, that's great news! You are actually the 10th investor in the Hash Rush Pre-ICO and are the last one to receive a unique Hash Rush Mining Card! 😱🔥🔥🔥 😎 😎
Massive thanks to you for believing in the Hash Rush project. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send us a message through Steemit or our Slack channel.
4 BTC min to get in on the presale... huge advantages for the rich in that presale (gold cards + 25%).... IDK guys gamers don't have a ton of cash laying around.. at least not 12k... for that you can buy hardware that hashes minimum 720Mhs and go play league. Seems you are not into making a community and a good game, By the By gamers hate it when Devs give huge advantages to rich people. I can't believe that anyone on you teams actually games or I would have expected something a little more gamer friendly.
Hi @taaveti, thanks for your comment. I'm sorry you feel that way; most of us at the Hash Rush team are actually gamers at heart. We are very much aiming to create a community of gamers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts who are excited to play Hash Rush and contribute to the Hash Rush project. That is also why we're posting our stories on different channels such as Steemit.
You are right in saying that there are some extra advantages that you gain when joining the pre-sale, but you can still join the ICO starting on 13 September; this only has a minimum entry threshold of 0.1 ETH.
We hope to see you join our ICO and please let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
I understand about the .1 ETH on September 13 but I will tell you the same thing I told another steemit user and if you were gamers you would understand this point of view.
"I do like the idea that it is a GUI cloud mining operation.
I do not like the bonuses for the whales... if you are marketing it to gamers not whales then rushcoin will have to be traded like any other coin its value should be the incentive... it is a unfair advantage that they will get a permanent hashrate regardless of difficulty on top of the 25% bonus coins they will get. I think it is naive to think that no matter what they will not pass on the cost of maintaining that permanent hashrate on to other users.
As far as the game development even crap coins like EROS raise over 10 million... they did not have to go down this road.. they are just money hungry and average users will end up having a paying for the permanent mining cost and hardware to maintain that hashrate.
As far as big ticket rewards on kickstarter those are usually symbolic if they are unattainable in the future such as meet and greets or launch parties ect.. I have never seen a kickstarter that offered a product to the rich that was never to going be obtainable by regular people, which is what rush coin is doing. By giving out gold cards that I would never have a chance of getting... so no matter how much money I would spend through the course of doing business with Rush even if it is 100k over time... these whales will always be better then me...
total turn off for me and probably many gamers.... I was mid filling out ico stuff before I realized it and now I probably will never participate in the game. I will wait for china or someone to clone the game and play on a level field with everyone else."
Thanks for this @taaveti. I understand your point of view, but don't agree with it for multiple reasons. For one thing, EROS was a scam, and for another, we're not "money hungry" but simply require a minimum amount of investment to get this project up and running.
We are definitely still marketing Hash Rush to gamers, minnows and everyone else; and we're confident we can create a level playing field for all players of Hash Rush. It's unfortunate that you're not planning on participating in our ICO anymore; know that you're always still very much welcome to join.
I realize our opinions are a bit different on this subject, but it's great to hear you're so passionate about gaming. And as a startup and large gaming/cryptocurrency project, we are open to any comments or suggestions, so thank you for providing your feedback.
Very informative.
