Hello dear blog readers, today was the day of the Refereum (Cryptocurrency Payment Token) ICO and as I already told in my article with the title "💡Cryptocurrency News: Refereum - Maybe THE Gaming ICO of the year 2018!?💹", there was already a huge waiting list ("whitelist") of investors who are interested in investing in the early stage of this interesting gaming platform, based on Blockchain technology...
Refereum Member Registration: ➜ www.refereum.internet-trendz.com
I also signed-up for the whitelist and wanted to invest a little bit in this ICO, but when I took a look in my email account today, I only saw the that the Token Sale is already finished, even no message before this mail, that I was able to invest in this ICO... 😯
But since I have read the latest news with the numbers, I know why I was one of many many people who were not able to invest and this is really unbelievable: Over 150000 people were on the whitelist and all in all everybody together requested to invest over 1 Million ETH ($800M+ USD), but the Refereum Team actually only wanted to reach around 40 K ETH (Approx $27.8M at Feb 5 closing ETH price on coinmarketcap.com)!!! 😲
I don´t want to copy the whole newsletter here, because I linked the original one for your below, but I want to show you an excerpt of a very interesting part for everyone who wasn´t able to invest in the ICO too and who is/want´s to participate in the Refereum Giveaway:
Announcing: EarnDrop
Serving our community of supporters has been, and remains, our top priority. We recognize that cancelling the public token sale will upset some members of our community (and others who just recently joined the whitelist) and make them feel left out. That’s why we’re excited to announce our solution for fans of the project that rewards RFR tokens, for free, via our new EarnDrop program.
We will determine the number of RFR tokens that each community member receives based on the following criteria:
- Their level of their participation in our Seasons (Season 1 getting even more rewards than mentioned prior!)
- The timing of when they joined the whitelist / waitlist
- The relative value of their contributions to the Refereum community
Individuals who have been long-time proponents of our project or who have made significant contributions will be recognized and rewarded. Season 1 token rewards will be rewarded next week after some shipping and handling time. In addition, it’s not too late to earn RFR utility tokens in Season 2. We want to be as inclusive as possible. Earn more today on Refereum.com!
Moreover, aligned with Refereum’s ability to properly attribute and reward participants in the marketing funnels as noted in the whitepaper and product, multiple blockchain projects have asked to use Refereum’s system to help them grow their own communities. As a reward, individuals who joined the whitelist and/or waitlist will receive “Refereum Genesis Community” status and can be entered for a continuous EarnDrop from other blockchain projects. We look forward to announcing more details soon.

Question to the Refereum Team by the way, if someone of you will read my post here: Why not using this unique Steemit blogging platform here to publish your News-Updates? Could be a perfect synergy and a win-win cooperation for both projects... ---
