Monthly Community Update #5 - PAKKed with exciting news & updates.

Bounty #1, Quizzes & AMAs, KYC & The NextPakk App!

Our Team at NextPakk is working tirelessly to bring together the first ever blockchain-based concierge delivery solution for the Logistics industry. We’d be lying if we said our goal is an easy one to achieve, but we’re committed to making our objective the new reality for global consumers and retailers.

A big part of making this happen is having an avid community following. And even though the ICO market has slowed significantly throughout 2018, it’s extremely pleasing for us to say our community activity is as strong as ever.

Throughout October we’ve achieved a significant milestone and we’re now in preparations for the first stages of our community reward PAKKA distribution:

• NextPakk’s Bounty #1 has ended. With over 2000 participants completing tasks to earn rewards, we’ll soon be distributing up to 8 million of our Stellar-based PAKKA tokens as thank you to our followers on Bitcoin Talk for their efforts.
• Our KYC process is under development. All participants from Airdrop #1 & #2, Bounty #1 and our Quizzes and AMAs will be given the opportunity to claim their tokens through our upcoming KYC process. We expect to have developments completed by the end of the month, ready to accept submissions throughout November.
• YouTube AMAs & Telegram Quizzes are back on track. Last weekend we held Quiz #4 & we’ll be going live on the NextPakk YouTube Channel with Our Pakk AMA #8 at 13:30 UTC on Saturday, November 4th, 2018.

• We’re close to having our Mobile App ready for pilot testing. Our Founder & CEO, Lowell Fortune has been hard at it preparing to release the first version of the app to a small group of testers. He’s been reaching out to a number of developers to assist him in his efforts and is making some rapid progress.

We look forward to the continuation of our strong community activity, and we’re excited to be getting closer to the point where we’re able to distribute reward tokens and present our mobile application to our supporters!

Monthly Community Update #4 - PAKKed with exciting news & updates.

NextPakk App, AMAs, Quizzes, Partnerships & Competitions!

There’s no doubt about it, the last 9 months have been tough for blockchain projects and cryptocurrency investors alike. Regulatory concerns surrounding the space paired with a strong bear market have lead to a significant drop off in ICO investments. According to information made publicly available at ICOdata.io, monthly investment totals in ICOs have trended down steeply from $1.5 Billion USD in January 2018, to $337 Million USD in August 2018. September isn’t proving any exception to the drop-off; $112 Million USD is known to be invested in ICOs so far, with only two days left in the month at the time of writing. Given the considerable shift in investor sentiment, it’s understandable that this reduction in new investments is leading to many startups having to pause ICOs, with some even pulling the pin on their projects entirely.

ICOdata - ICO 2018 Statistics

At NextPakk, we placed a strategic pause on our token sale during the Pre-Sale in August, as we realized investor participation in ICOs was nearing 12-month lows. Despite the high level of investor interest and community engagement our project regularly receives, if we attempted to complete our token sales as scheduled, this reduced investor participation could have considerably impacted our ability to raise the the critical funding required to enable us to meet key objectives outlined in our road-map.

We’re very appreciative of our community and our investors for their patience throughout this pause. We want to keep all of you updated on our efforts throughout September, as well as some upcoming NextPakk developments while our token sale is on hold.

• Our Pakk AMAs and NextPakk Quizzes have continued to see strong community participation throughout September. To-date, NextPakk has held 7 AMAs and 3 Quizzes; a total of 10 fun-filled events for our enthusiastic community members. We always look forward to these fortnightly events. They’re a huge highlight for us. Please note our Community Manager will be on leave for the first two weeks of October, so we will be putting a hold on these community activities until the 3rd week of October. Never fear, they‘ll be back bigger and better than ever!
• Our Founder, Lowell Fortune has been hard at work preparing our Mobile Application for NextPakk Drivers, Retailers, PDPs and Users. Lowell has promised a sneak peak of the NextPakk user app for the community. We’ll aim to have this preview available to users via their NextPakk web accounts by the end of October.
• We’re actively pursuing new partnerships with organisations that we feel are complimentary to our business model. We recently publicly announced our strategic alliance with Founder’s Huddle. Their team will provide us with ongoing social media management assistance, helping in our continued efforts in engaging our thriving community. In return, we’ll be assisting the huddle to raise awareness of the vast array of services they have available for startup projects. There are a number of additional companies we’re working with privately at this point in time and we hope to be able to share more partnership news with all of you very soon.
• Throughout October we will be unveiling a new range of community competitions. As we finalize our Airdrop and Bounty Audits and move towards KYC and the commencement of reward distribution, we’ll have exciting new opportunities for our highly active community to continue to earn PAKKA tokens alongside our regular Quizzes and AMAs.

While its true that many projects are shutting up shop due to current market conditions, we’re using this down time throughout our token sale pause as an opportunity to improve our appeal to investors, increase opportunities for our community participants and accelerate NextPakk developments in preparation for our US market release.

The Pursuit of Partnerships!

It is widely known that NextPakk’s ICO was placed on hold last month. The cryptocurrency market conditions have been unfavorable due to an overall downtrend remaining in play since January right across the industry. A vast majority of startups have been unable to publicly raise the critical funding required to ensure new projects are sustainable. While many companies have cancelled ICOs completely and disappeared off the public radar due to the market lull, NextPakk is seeing this as an opportunity to accelerate our business rollout and maintain a strong level of community engagement.

We’ve implemented our strategic ICO pause as a way to use the market downturn as a catalyst for us to increase partnerships. We’re teaming up with new Projects, Retailers, Package Deliver Points and Drivers, as well as increasing our private funding efforts. A recap of the pause is available here.

NextPakk ICO Strategic Pause

Today we can proudly announce our first public alliance formed during NextPakk’s ICO pause:

NextPakk and Founder’ Huddle team up for Social Media Strategies!

Over the past 6 months, NextPakk has been a front-runner in community development among blockchain projects. Behind the scenes, Founder’s Huddle has played a vital part in NextPakk’s rapid expansion and will continue to do so in future. Each entity feels the time has come to solidify the relationship by announcing it publicly.

Founder’s Huddle is an organisation focused on Tooling The Entrepreneur Collective (TTEC); providing expert services and tailored development plans for startup projects, with a particular focus on helping founders flourish.

Founder's Huddle - Tooling The Entrepreneur Collective (TTEC)

NextPakk has been working with Founder’s Huddle, receiving assistance to enhance our social media management capabilities and overall community engagement. Founder’s Huddle has guided us in the creation and implementation of tools such as Airdrops, Bounties, Quizzes and AMAs. Now that NextPakk’s social media channels are fully functioning with high levels of community engagements, we are committed to helping Founder’s Huddle increase public awareness of their available services in future. We’re thankful for the positive impact their services have had on NextPakk’s community development and we look forward to a healthy ongoing alliance.

Guess What!? We’ve been hard at work developing NextPakk’s user app as well, so stay tuned for some news about this in the coming weeks!

NextPakk’s 3rd *fortnightly Telegram Quiz, Sunday, September 16th.

Quiz #1 and #2 were so much fun in August that we’ve decided to make NextPakk Quizzes a fortnightly event. We currently host fortnightly AMAs live on our YouTube Channel every second weekend, but to give our community something to look forward to every week, we’ll now be holding quizzes in our Telegram Chat Group on the opposite weekends to the AMAs.

NextPakk Quiz #3 will be held on Sunday, September 15th, in our Telegram Channel. Like quizzes 1 & 2, Quiz #3 will feature up to 25 questions related to the NextPakk project. The first community member to give the correct answer to each question will receive 200 PAKKA tokens. Individual contestants can win up to 1,000 PAKKA per quiz. If you want to take part in our quizzes, join our NextPakk Telegram Chat and follow our NextPakk Announcements.

3 Weeks Remaining in NextPakk’s First Bounty Program on Bitcoin Talk.

For over 20 weeks, NextPakk’s Bitcoin Talk Bounty Program has seen strong community participation. Over 2,000 individuals signed up to take part in the campaign, we’ve racked up over 5,000 reports across 280 Bitcoin Talk pages, and we’re in the process of auditing the 30,000+ posts shared about NextPakk throughout the bounty.

Despite still having a number of weeks to catch up on in the auditing process, due to participation being greater than initially anticipated, we want our community of hunters to rest assured that all stakes earned will be rewarded as promised, even those not yet credited on our spreadsheet. We plan to be fully up to date with stakes when the bounty closes in early October.

We are highly appreciative of the community’s attitude, efforts and patience throughout our first (and likely our largest) bounty campaign.

Monthly Community Update #3.

ICO Strategies, Reaching Retailers, US Cities & International Growth!

As many of you are now aware, NextPakk has hit the pause button on our ICO. You can see the full details around this strategy here in our previous article. In a nutshell, we want to do the right thing by our investors and our overall community by implementing a temporary freeze as a strategy to work around the current bear market.

During the ICO downtime we’re strengthening relationships with our current partners and on-boarding new retail partners. We’re also focused on launching our Last-Mile Delivery Service in two major US cities, Detroit and Minneapolis. Once NextPakk’s services are in place for our retailers in these locations, we’ll be showcasing our proven platform to private investors alongside our business plan. We plan to exceed our soft cap of $3.2 Million during the ICO pause, working alongside our growing list of stakeholders.

Community growth has once again taken the spotlight for NextPakk throughout August, and we have every intention of continuing to engage our supporters, embracing this growth even throughout the ICO pause. To highlight this we’ll be introducing some new NextPakk International Telegram Communities in the coming weeks.

You can also join us here, for Our Pakk AMA Episode 5, going live at 13:30 UTC on Saturday, August 25th, 2018. We look forward to seeing you there!

If you haven’t done so yet, you can also join over 100,000 other NextPakk users by signing up for our NextPakk Blockchain Logistics platform. There currently is a small PAKKA token reward waiting for all new users.

While there is a lot happening for us currently, much of this activity is going on behind the scenes as we prepare to weather the bear market and transition into private funding efforts. Beyond this next phase we plan to reinstate the public ICO between Q4 2018 and Q1 2019. We’ll provide more detailed community updates again in the coming months, once we have more news to share around NextPakk developments throughout the ICO pause.

NextPakk Community Update - August 2018 was originally published in nextpakk on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

A message to NextPakk investors and our dedicated community.

NextPakk is pausing its ICO, Sunday, August 19th, 2018.

After careful consideration and consultation with our Advisors and Legal & Logistics Industry Experts, it has been decided that NextPakk will hit the pause button on our ICO.

We want to make it clear that this is an intentional temporary freeze; a deliberate strategy we are implementing due to the state of the market throughout 2018. While market conditions are very harsh, we see this as a window of opportunity for us to focus more on the elements of the project that we are able to control, separate to the market. We would also like to emphasize that we are pausing in an effort to look out for our investors, to minimize exposure to the negative impacts of the current market conditions.

In the coming months, throughout the pause we will:

• Expand our list of Private and Public Partnerships
• Continue to build our English-speaking and International Communities
• Work closely with our Ambassadors/Reviewers and on-board new experts
• Extend relations with Retailers, PDPs and Drivers in Minneapolis & Detroit
• Make Marketing improvements & increase Public Awareness of NextPakk
• Accelerate our Product Development & public Last Mile Delivery rollout
• Increase our Private Funding focus, to enable us to reach our soft cap

We understand that general investors and our community need to gain some renewed confidence in cryptocurrency markets before considering new investments.

We will update all of our information in the coming weeks to reflect this change, and we will reopen our Pre-Sale and Public Sale at a later date.

We plan to reinstate our ICO between Q4 2018 and Q1 2019.

Optional refunds will be made available to our current investors. If existing investors continue to support our project we will accept their offer of support and ensure they are shown the full extent of our gratitude moving forward.

The pause is being put in place to give our project the best chance of raising the level of funding required to enable us to implement our last-mile logistics solution, and to ensure that our investors and our community have limited exposure to the current harsh market conditions.

From all of us at NextPakk, we want to thank our community for your ongoing support. We look forward to a long and healthy relationship with all of you.

***Please note that all community activities will continue as usual. AMA, Quiz Airdrop & Bounty tokens will be distributed from October onward, as originally planned, but PAKKA is unlikely to be traded on exchanges until some months later***

Further Reading regarding the current state of the market:

In late 2017, throughout a strong bull market the ICO space was met with unprecedented growth. We saw projects raising millions of dollars in minutes, with many hitting their hard caps and some even opening on exchanges at 10 times above their token sale value just days later. But throughout 2018, cryptocurrency markets have seen strong corrections, with the bearish momentum remaining in place across most markets for up to 7 months now. Many of the successful ICOs from late 2017 have seen token value reductions back to their ICO sale price, and in some cases even well below.

We are now seeing a large portion of ICO projects held in 2018 being released on exchanges and having their token values cut in half or worse in a matter of seconds. In some extreme cases, tokens are even losing over 90% of their ICO value.

The bear trend is causing many regular investors to steer clear of new markets and some of the most innovative projects in the space are struggling to meet funding requirements as a result.

NextPakk’s soft cap for the ICO is set at $3.2 Million USD, with a hard cap target of $52.8 Million USD. We have decided to pause our ICO during the Pre-Sale and give ourselves some time to focus on a number of areas where we know we can succeed, even during the bear market.

All other aspects of the community and most components on the NextPakk road map will continue on as usual. It is only the ICO we are pausing.

Once again, to our incredible community, thank you for all of your support. With the community growth we’re seeing, the strategies we’re implementing to ensure our success, and the Last Mile Logistics Solution we’re bringing to the world, backed by blockchain, we plan to make NextPakk a household name by 2019!

NextPakk ICO Strategic Pause was originally published in nextpakk on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

In response to what has been a very tough fortnight for Blockchain Believers, NextPakk will be rewarding our community members for their ongoing support in some fun new ways over the next 2 weeks.

Crypto traders are indecisive, Bitcoin has surrendered its recent bullish gains and most Alt Coins are enduring even heavier blows. But rather than joining the majority, beaten down by this deep market depression, we’re going to stand strong and show Our Pakk that a bit of blood won’t hold us back!

Speaking of which; Our Pakk AMA #4 will be live on our YouTube Channel on Saturday, August 11th at 13:30 UTC. We want to continue to thank our community for their support and ongoing involvement. We’ll be giving away 1000 PAKKA tokens to each participant that has a question answered during the YouTube livestream. Each participant can ask up to 10 questions per AMA.

We’re also going to hold NextPakk Quiz #1 in our Telegram Channel on Sunday, August 12th. Stay tuned in our Announcements Channel to learn how to get involved and what time to join. There’ll be some great PAKKA prizes!

Open Pakk Q&A #1 will be hitting our YouTube Channel in the next two weeks. We’ll be joined by our partner, Military Token. We’ll explore their project in detail, and review our partnership together. There’ll also be some coverage of the current Crypto climate in general. We’ll share more information about this across our all of our social channels, and let you know more about the content and how you can get involved.

We’re also excited to announce that we’ve found two Vietnamese Administrators, and formed a partnership with a promoter to help us share more detailed news about NextPakk with our Vietnamese Community. We’ll be opening up the NextPakk Vietnam Telegram Group in the next few days. Make sure your notifications are on in the Announcements Channel.

We’re still on the hunt for Administrators to help us reach our growing Japanese community, so if you’re interested in joining us for this please send an email through to contactus@nextpakk.com and let‘s talk!
