Community Update #4

Dear Datawallet Community,

we are very excited to kick off the new year with a plethora of strong updates. Here is a quick summary of all the important things that happened over the past two weeks.

Announcement: Token Sale Dates

We are honored and humbled to have received so much positive feedback for what we are building at Datawallet. The excitement and demand that has built up around our platform constitutes further proof for us of what had gotten us to embark on this mission three years ago: a future where people are the sole owners, distributors, and managers of their own data is inevitable.

Due to the strong demand we have been facing for our token sale, we have decided to not keep you waiting much longer and open up the token sale this month. The times for our token sale are as follows:

The Whitelist Pre-Sale opens on 22 January 2018 at 2PM ET (GMT-4)

The Whitelist Public Sale opens on 5 February 2018at 2PM ET (GMT-4)

Confirmation emails for the whitelist will be sent our shortly, including links to our proprietary token sale and KYC platform.

TOKENSALE@DATAWALLET.COM

We will never solicit payment, details about your private key, or any other information via Telegram or Email. If you receive any such communication, please report them to us immediately at support@datawallet.com.

Datawallet Platform Video

In order to give all interested parties an introduction to the project that is as personal as possible, we have filmed a video that seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the Datawallet ecosystem. It features interviews with our CEO, Serafin Lion Engel, and CTO, Daniel Hawthorne, as well as advisors such as Kyle Kemper (Executive Director of the Blockchain Association of Canada), Michael Perklin (Chief Security Officer of Shapeshift), and Prof. Guenther Walther (Professor of Statistics at Stanford University).

Datawallet partners with Steemit

We are extremely proud to announce that Datawallet is partnering with the first and largest blockchain-based social network Steemit.

Steemit users will be able to integrate their Steemit data into the Datawallet app, which will provide the opportunity to further reward users, and give them another monetization stream for the data created on the Steemit platform.

Ned Scott, Steemit CEO said, “The social media monetization model is broken, both in terms of how platform users are rewarded, and how their data is owned and distributed. Steemit is currently working to resolve part one of that equation and Datawallet are tackling the second. This partnership is a great stepping stone in the long term vision of Steemit to build a living, breathing, and growing social economy.”

Datawallet in Davos

The Datawallet team will attend and present at the CryptoHQ in Davos, Switzerland, from January 23 — January 26. Parties interested in attending the talk, please contact office@datawallet.com.
