Most ICO sales block American's from viewing their purchase instructions by block IP addresses coming from the Unitied States. I recently learned this is not the case for the Pillar token's ICO sale.

In this blog post I am not giving you investment advice. Each person is responsible for reviewing The Pillar Project website, watching the Pillar Project videos on their YouTube channel, and making their own investment decisions.
In this post I am sharing what I have learned about this opportunity and what I have done. This is the first ICO sale I have participated in.
The Pillar Project
The Pillar Project website contains a lot of information about what they hope to achieve.
There is also a Pillar Project YouTube Channel where you can watch this video about the Personal Data Locker.

American IP Addresses Can View the ICO's Purchase Instructions
Most ICO's block their website's purchase instructions from American IP addresses. This is not the case for the Pillar token's purchase instructions.
Pillar ICO Sale
Pillar ICO Pre-Sale
The Pillar token had an ICO pre-sale where the Pillar token was priced at 0.0005 ETH (approximately $0.10 USD) with a bonus of one free token for every 10 tokens purchased. This equates to about $0.0909 USD per token.
Unfortunately, I missed out on the pre-sale that sold 48 million tokens in something like 34 minutes.
Pillar IcO Public Sale
The public sale of the Pillar tokens started on 15 July 2017 at 08:00 London UK time (GMT + 1). The tokens are priced at 0.0005 ETH throughout the public sale period.
Yes, I woke up around 2 a.m. my local time to purchase the tokens I would have made during the pre-sale.
The public sale ends 17 July 2017 at 20:00 London UK time (GMT + 1).
Pillar Tokens at a Deep Discount
The drop in the price of ETH has created an opportunity to buy Pillar tokens are even a greater discount than that offered during the pre-sale.
Yesterday, I bought 2 ETH at $170 USD and purchased additional Pillar tokens at 0.0005 ETH per token. This equates to $0.085 USD per token. That is even a better price than those who bought during the pre-sale.
At the time of this writing, ETH is selling for $138 USD on Coinbase. This equates to $0.069 USD per token. Wow, talk about a sale.
Pillar UPDATE:
Did you get shorted on your Pillar Tokens too ?

You replied to each of my posts on PLR, so I thought I would reply to each one.
I read your post and the comments. As explained in your comments the "Pre-Sale" price was 0.0005 ETH per PLR token. At the time of the announcement this equated to about $0.10 USD per PLR token. The price of ETH fluctuates but the price per token during the "Pre-Sale" remained 0.0005 ETH per PLR token.
Congratulations on getting your pre-sale tokens!
I am sure you will do well with them!
Have a great week!
Steem on,

I probably already mentioned it, but Thank you for
doing the math. I have not learned as much as I need to,
I appreciate your willingness to check it out.
This was my first ICO rodeo too. It is a learning process.
Steem on,
Mike
Cool stuff you have shared, I really will check it very soon.
Hi Mike, I'm in too, and just doubled up my stake based on the ETH price drop seemed like a good idea, time will tell. ( 1st yesterday morning, 2nd just now!) steem on, soundmoney
I bought some ETH to buy more Pillar tokens during the ICO yesterday. So far I missed the drop of ETH to $130. Serves me right for being distracted. I should have kept watching it. Maybe it might drop again, but I see it is back in the $150's now. I will check it from time to time.
Congratulations on your excellent purchases at a low price!!!
Steem on,
Mike
I was able to some Pillar yesterday. They did start out blocking the US, then sent an email saying it's ok now.
Wow great news can I buy now some pillar tokens
Go to the purchase webpage https://pillarproject.io/purchase/
Follow all of the instructions on the page. There are even videos to help you.
You will need Ethereum and a wallet like the MyEtherWallet. Again, instructions and videos are on the purchase page.
I must emphasize that you read all the information and make an informed investment decision.
Steem on,
Mike
I just lost over 350.00 investing in Pillar Token - ZERO SUPPORT from DAVID, CEO of PILLAR.

I read your post and commented on it.
Look at your SteemIt wallet. To help you out a bit, I sent you some SBD.
Steem on,
Mike
In this post
https://steemit.com/ico/@rogerwilson/did-anyone-buy-any-pillar-token-today
you stated you bought 3,900 Pilar tokens. And if those tokens go to $10 you would buy a small farm.
I think you will do well with your 3,900 Pillar tokens in the long run. Just don't go out and buy any farm animals just yet 😊
Have a nice week!
Steem on,
Mike
350 USD + 350 free tokens.
thats 1 free for every 10 bought, so yea about 3900...
now about 0.14 each!
Very happy with the move upward in PLR.
Have a great week!
Steem on,
Mike
