Email Newsletter
We will never send you any emails containing the BitDegree wallet address.
The only place where you will find the correct address to the BitDegree wallet is on our website https://www.bitdegree.org. It will be announced on the day of the crowdsale, December 1st.
On Thursday, November 31st, we will make a live Q&A session on Facebook. Join us, and our team will answer your questions live on livestream. During the crowdsale, follow our updates on Twitter, which will be the main source of all BitDegree news.
Website
ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THE WEBSITE ADDRESS FOR SECURITY!
The only legitimate website is https://www.bitdegree.org. Any other similar looking URLs are not related to BitDegree and should not be trusted. To ensure that the website is correct, check the address on your browser and double check that web address is not incorrectly spelt.
Crowdsale Address
The crowdsale address will be announced ONLY on the BitDegree website.
The BitDegree crowdsale address will be announced on the BitDegree website on December 1st! Immediately before the start of the crowdsale, we will post a video in which our CEO, Andrius Putna will reveal the last digits of the BitDegree Crowdsale address. To ensure that your transfers are going to the correct wallet address, ensure that the address matches the one on the video and the website. Double check everything and stay secure.
Slack
We do not have Slack.
It is common for ICOs to use Slack, but due to the high-rates of misuse we have dropped it in favor of Telegram.
Prohibited actions
Do not send ETH from exchanges (this includes Coinbase, Poloniex, Kraken and any other).
Do not use Jaxx
Do not use multi-signature wallets
