3. Risks
Please invest only at your own risk! All investing is risky - especially tech investing, and (most of all) crypto investing.
Most crypto projects are outright scams. Most "Bitcoin" projects are scams as well. In general, it is a very high-risk, high-reward industry!
Ideally, you would read everything in the table above. Even after doing that, you would still have only a very small idea of what this project is about. Cryptocurrency lies at the intersection of many difficult fields: banking, finance, monetary economics, computer science, cryptography, game theory - to name a few. The truth is this: our project is a longshot. It is not likely to succeed. But, if it does succeed, it will rise in value (from its current sale price, at $30–$40). We believe that this mixture is right for some investors.
4. Pre-Purchasing
To repeat: after 10 years of tinkering, and four years of development, the network is about to launch.
There are still a few last-minute ways to buy, before that happens.
- If you are an accredited investor, or a foreign (ie, not American) investor, or an industry expert or have a multi-year pre-established relationship with one of the founders - and you do not mind filling out a legal contract with your name and address, then please contact Tomas on Telegram.
- There will be one crowdsale round with a reputable "token sale" firm. Please check back later.
There are also some less-reliable, but more decentralized ways to buy:
- [Aug 23 – Sep 20, 2026] There will be a few "dry run" test launches of the ECX software (Alpha and Beta Release Candidates). Those who participate in these tests, can later sign a message "redeeming" their test coins for real ECX. The final test network (Beta) can be redeemed 1000:20, and the test just before it (Alpha), 1000:10. We anticipate that only a very small amount of ECX will be obtained this way, since very few people have the necessary key management / message signing skills (and very few of the test coins will circulate at all). That said, since these tests are peer-to-peer, this may end up being the easiest way to acquire ECX.
- Someone has created an "eCash" memecoin on Solana. We did not create this, and we have no control over it. However, we have announced a public arrangement: any "Creator Fees" they send to us, we will treat as purchases. So far, about $50,000 has been sent, and over 2000 ECX has been allocated this way. After the project launches, users can swap their memecoin for this pool of real ECX.
Or: hold BTC through October 31, 2026 and receive eCash 1:1 at the fork - then buy or sell freely on exchanges.
