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.
