In a instant of confusion in addition to to the dismay of some, CIVIC ended it’s crowdsale yesterday roughly 5PM.
They afterwards announced on their website that they had reached their destination of $33 i chiliad m inwards the token sale. As you lot tin run into inwards the higher upward tweet, they state this was spread over 10,000 orders, making the average or somewhere pretty high.
This should come upward every bit no surprise, since the identity/voting sectors of blockchain engineering are seen every bit highly lucrative (government contracts every bit good every bit large organizational purposes) past times virtually all sectors of the large leagues. No i envisions newspaper voting or counterfeit-enabled identification systems inwards 50, 100 years, hence of class a well-organized projection similar CIVIC, alongside help from heavyweights like Jeff Garzik, is going to perform well. As such, author Justin O’Connell appears to convey been conservative in his 8.0/10 rating at our sis site, Hacked.com. Not really, though. It’s nearly impossible to earn 10/10 from a given analyst – no i tin predict the future.

Wojtek Palczynski on Twitter asked Vinny Lingham, CEO of CIVIC, why the Ethereum congestion number should send upon Bitcoin purchases. Lingham gave the most obvious response: that would move terribly unfair to those planning to invest via Ethereum. Such investors were doubly locked since they would farther move unable to larn out Eth to arrive through BTC. He added that this motility likewise had to create alongside counting the actual contributions to ensure the cap wasn’t broken:
@VinnyLingham @civickey But hence why halt BTC contributions?
@wpalczynski @civickey Not fair to people who bought ETH to move locked out at this stage. We likewise demand to clear the congestion to confirm what's sold or non sold.
Luckily for those who didn’t larn to invest inwards CIVIC inwards time, in that place volition be many more plays inwards the identification/government sector of blockchain technology. There volition likewise move plays inwards several other aspects of it, such every bit immutable tracking ledgers for transportation outfits, educational purposes such every bit plane tracking in addition to other educatee data, in addition to more.
These other-than-strictly-financial plays volition eventually grow into their ain industry, i twenty-four hours becoming nigh unrecognizable from the fiscal side of the technology, but withal beingness closely related, inwards much the same means that job organisation in addition to regime are today. This is the form of epitome shift that the blockchain in addition to other decentralized technologies introduce for the future, wherein entire industries volition move disrupted in addition to forced to adjust or fade. There are rattling few parts of modern life that blockchain could non convey a pregnant impact upon.
CIVIC may move amid the initiative of all really serious plays of this nature. Another notable i would, of course, be Factom, who specialize inwards using the blockchain to essentially “notarize” documents in addition to records. While some may move upset that they missed out on this opportunity, others are certain to follow. And piece such intelligence is straightaway covered inwards major papers roughly the world, those alongside an border volition withal move those reading the industry-specific papers who’ve been hither from the beginning, similar CCN.
