The design is bold and innovative, it tells viewers in no uncertain terms that cryptocurrency and sponsorships will play major roles in how PICISI will operated upon launch.</p> <p>The margins of the home page are reserved for PICISI’s top 10 sponsors, in the center of the page are 8 feature campaigns, at first glance they look like campaign panels from any other crowdfunding site except with one major difference — an additional currency line. One currency line is for fiat (USD, GBP, EUR, etc …) and a second currency line is for cryptocurrency (bitcoin, HYPER, Metal, Einsteinium, etc …). This is marketing genius for the cryptocurrency industry, what better way to introduce a currency than in a way that places it front and center in a business application that actually uses the currency as a currency (as opposed to a commodity). Ok the plan is great so what’s holding up the launch?</p> <p>According to its creator PICISI is designed to run efficiently with 8 admins (Executive Director, Deputy Director, Assistant Director, Promotions Director, Content Director, Communications Director, Finance Director and Compliance Director) + 1 Tech. The project determined that a minimum of 6 (Executive Director, Deputy Director, Assistant Director, Promotions Director, Content Director, and Communications Director,) admins are essential in order to launch the site, currently they have 2 — the Executive Director and the Assistant Director. As such — PICISI needs a few good admins to manage the site.</p> <p>Given their prelaunch goals they are well on their way to site launch:</p> <p>1) recruit a min. of 6 admins, they now have 2;<br /> 2) secure a min of 20 sponsors, they now have 23 — goal achieved & surpassed;<br /> 3) secure a min of 8 campaigns to crowdfund, they now have 3 solid;<br /> 4) recruit a min of 1 referral agent, they now have 1 — goal achieved;<br /> 5) associate with a min of 2 promotion contractors, they now have 15 — goal achieved & surpassed;<br /> 6) associate with a min of 1 campaign contractor, they now have 12 — goal achieved & surpassed and;<br /> 7) publish a min of 5 articles, they now have 15 — goal achieved & surpassed.</p> <p>There are only two prerequisites delaying the launch: ‘Admins’ & ‘Campaigns’. Up to now the site was blank, now with the design concept up they are hoping to attract people who want to kickstart this new crowdfunding startup. If the twitter (@PICISIproject) response is any indication, they will do just fine:</p> <p><em>Jeremiah Nichol @prodjkc said: “so proud of this wonderful $HYPER team!”</em><br /> <em> Invino @VarvarinEMC2 retweeted PICISI: “Beautiful!

This endeavor will likely change how cryptocurrency is viewed by the masses since it will enable people to see and use cryptocurrency in positive ways.</p> <p>PICISI will be run with integrity, every account will be verified, and mgmt will review each campaign. Microfunding via cryptocurrency combined with a great number of generous sponsors should result in every campaign at PICISI receiving some level of funding — no one leaves with zero.</p> <p>PICISI will launch with the bare necessities: a simple site, a skeleton crew, and a few sponsors. During the first 90 days our admins and recruiters will assemble a full compliment of participants from organizers and donors to sponsors and contractors; by the end of the period we expect significant growth.</p> <p>At PICISI we define promotion three different ways:</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">• Publicity – broadly raising awareness to grow the community ie: organizers, donors, and sponsors,<br /> • Outreach – the specific purpose of finding organizers to conduct campaigns at our site.<br /> • Marketing – the specific purpose of finding donors to fund campaigns at our site.</p> <p>To achieve our goals the Executive Director will assemble an energetic team of professionals: Deputy Director, Assistant Director, Content Director, Promotion Director, Communications Director; in addition to Referral Agents, Promotion Contractors, and Campaign Contractors.</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>• The Deputy Director</strong> – second in command, is in charge when the Exec Dir is on vacation, incapacitated, or as directed by the Exec Dir.</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>• The Assistant Director – </strong>primary task is to assist the Executive Director and the Deputy Director however at times he may also serve other directors as the need arises.

CraigPhone also provides a way for buyers to pay securely with Paypal or credit cards in order to reduce the potential for cash-transaction muggings.</p> <p>A group of developers from New York created the CraigPhone fraud prevention system as a way to help fight crime that occurs all over Craigslist.</p> <p>“As a Craigslist user, I’m always getting spam and was once almost mugged when attempting to buy a car” CEO Esco Obong said. “I realized that all of the crime taking place on Craigslist can be avoided if we cut off all communication between scammers and unsuspecting individuals.”</p> <p>CraigPhone started developing their app in October of last year. In order to utilize these benefits, CraigPhone creates a virtual number that can send/receive text messages, calls and voicemail from any number in the US. When a CraigPhone user receives spam text messages or phone calls from a scammer , they have the option to flag or report the number and prevent that scammer from contacting anyone else in the network. “It only takes a few vigilant flaggers to protect the entire community.” said Mr. Obong.</p> <p>After months of hard work, the team has launched a pre-order funding campaign on Ramen, a startup dedicated to helping new software products find their first 100 customers. The money CraigPhone plans to raise during their campaign will go towards finishing the iOS application, building the Android version, and pushing out the pre-orders they have already received. They are hoping to sell $5,000 in pre-orders on Ramen and complete the app in 30.</p> <p>Obong believes the application could become a standard for the Craigslist community, “Craigslist is an incredible platform but with scale comes challenges. Every day I find new stories about identity theft and robberies that occur through Craigslist. We can make a difference and help keep people safe.”</p> <p>Follow us on twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/craigphoneapp">@craigphoneapp</a><br /> Like us on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/craigphone">facebook.com/craigphone</a><br /> Ramen Campaign: <a href="https://ramen.is/projects/craigphone">ramen.is/projects/craigphone</a></p> <p><strong>About CraigPhone</strong><br /> CraigPhone is an early stage startup focused on providing a means for safer online transactions and communications.
