The international project Boosteroid starts ICO on October 23 and intends to squeeze giants of the computing power rental market such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.Today the prices of cloud computing services offered by market leaders – Amazon, Microsoft, Google – are very high, so this service is still the privilege of the “elite.” This is what spurred experts to create Boosteroid.“Computing power rental price is a problem for many users,” explains Boosteroid founder Ivan Shvaichenko. “We decided to remove this obstacle.”There will be three stages of Boosteroid ICO.“We decided to divide ICO into three parts because there is no need in receiving the total amount of investments at once.”“We will use the funds raised after the first ICO stage to setup electricity connection, getting the premises prepared to the setup and launch of computing powers, purchase of the first facilities and further software development to provide convenient access to computing resources.”“Funds raised after the second ICO stage will be used to buy and set up the equipment to start our computing facilities. Funds raised after the third stage will be used to expand computing power of our project further. BTR token will be available at the main cryptocurrency exchanges after the second ICO stage,” noted the Boosteroid founder.The first ICO stage begins at 9:00 (CET) on October 23 and ends at 21:00 (CET) on November 6, 2017. The ICO can be completed ahead of schedule if the necessary amount of investments is attracted. The starting price of 1 BTR token is $0.48; the final price is $0.58. Investors will be able to exchange cryptocurrency for a total of 100 million BTR tokens.The next 700 million BTR tokens will be available during two following ICO stages:
- From November 27 to December 11, 2017. The total number of BTR tokens: 300,000,000. The starting price of 1 BTR token is $1.08; the final price is $1.38
- From January 15, 2017, to February 15, 2018. The total number of BTR tokens: 400,000,000. The starting price of 1 BTR token is $1.88; the final price is $2.78
The collected funds will be used to create computing power and system software, to develop the BooStore application store and also for marketing and PR.
