Today marks a milestone where we start the pre token sale for SportsPodium token exclusive to the Steemit community. As far as we know, this is the largest token offering IN THE STEEMIT platform, and while we are using technology that has been around for a while, it is a first.
We are also not aware of ANY other pre ICO that has been limited to the Steem community. We have a long history with the Steemit community and have decided to give a little back by running a presale of PODs exclusive to Steemit users at a 50% bonus rate.
We'd like to take this opportunity to explain exactly how the token sale will work.
We are running a website to make it as easy as possible for you to do the token purchase on the Heroku app service here: https://sportspodium-pre-ico.herokuapp.com/ The URL is protected and very safe to use. We specifically do not ask you to register to ensure that it is easy, but we do ask that you please provide your email address as we need to contact you to claim your pods when our blockchain is ready.
This page calculates the current Ether and Steem price and shows you exactly how many PODs you will be getting. Details around the POD calculations are explained in this post:
SportsPodium Pre Token Sale for Steemit and How will it work?
Our website interacts with the Steem blockchain via the standard API, which requires your password to confirm the transaction. You can review the website code in our GitHub Repository: https://github.com/SportsPodium/SteemPreICOForm
Please note that the website will ask you to enter the amount of Steem or SBD you wish to buy PODs with and also your Steemit password, which is NOT visible and cannot be accessed by us given the API we are using. We do not record your password and only use it to authorize the transaction on the Steem blockchain. We also record the transaction on our side in addition to the normal record on the Steem blockchain.
An alternative mechanism to purchase pods.
Should you want to do a transfer straight from your Steem Wallet to the SportsPodium Steem Wallet , this is also acceptable. We are recording the Ether price on an hourly basis for the duration of the Pre Token Sale and your pods will be reserved based on the recorded price at the time of purchase.
Once the main crowdsale is complete we will issue a notice where you can redeem your PODs on the SportsPodium blockchain. This is why we need you email address. You can view your allocation of PODs at any time on the crowdsale page.
Please take this opportunity to buy some SportsPodium tokens on our presale site here .or should you have any questions you could always contact us using the links below:

Is there a prototype of your interface we can look at?
Our prototype weren't based on blockchain technology and was for Rugby only. Since the final interface will be significantly different we decided not to make it publically available, but please go ahead and look at the whitepaper which explains how it is going to work.
Yeah, I'm kind of a "hands on" kinda guy. I like to play with it and get a feel for it before investing in it. I'll wait :-)
easymoney here - Yes a sports token! I'm not sure what the token does but I will be investigating and learning more about it because I love sports!
We are going to reward sports people with crypto for participating in our community, and we will create online sports mall, give opportunities to large companies to buy our token and sponsor and advertise on our site. Our vision is that in a couple of years you would be able to buy all your equipment, tickets to events etc on SportsPodium. It will be open and transparent, aiming to decrease corruption in Sport and allow sports people to be rewarded as they should
Thank you!
Interesting initiative, I am hopeful for I know all too well the corruptness/bribes/cheatery of our current sports world and presently chose to support due to the suitability of this coin and need for change.

Crap. I almost forgot about it. Need to explore.
Buy! And explore the journey with SportsPodium!
Wow, This is so amezing and wonderful. How these crowd of people gathered and made such a fantastic art of ground. Loved so much.
Thanks
Why do I need to give my steemit password to contribute? :(
Simply to authenticate you. We dont capture passwords. Please read the blog again and familiarise yourself with the process - then jump in.
ok! thanks!
HI It is secure, and we do not see it, capture it or use it. Via the interface to the Steem blockchain it directly validates you.

Great thanks, and great article
@sportspodium nice post have a good day thankyou
Great I was hoping to buy on an exchange later as I think it's a great platform but will try this when my next power down hits. Good luck with it and thanks for making this possible for Steemit users.
Thanks for your comment. You will be able to buy our ERC token in our standard sale, but will only get % bonus then. We decided to do a pre sale for all our fellow Steemians, with a % bonus as a thank you. More PODS for less. But you can do either or both.
Thank you very much @ibringawareness

Went ahead and transferred some Steem Dollars over to @sportspodium for some pre-sale pods! Good luck on the crowdsale.
This is great news @whakeupsheeps. Thank you very much
Great stuff thank you. And a great welcome to our sports family. This is going to be an amazing journey and with our community supporting us we are going to change the sports world.
oops! I forgot to mention my email while transferring the SBD
Hi Mike. Please send you email address to pieter@sportspodium.net
sent! :)
how long does the presale last ? can i buy this in a month at the bonus price ? what password do you need is it my active key or master password - if i buy by transfer through steem wallet to sportspodium wallet do i get the same bonus and rate ?
The presale for the Steem community will go on until 10 September. Yes, you will still receive the bonus PODs if you send Steem or SBD directly from you Steem wallet to the @sportspodium wallet. Just remember to add your email address in the memo field.
thanks very much
I guess it wont hurt to try
Alright I'm in. Do I need to sign up on your website to get email updates or am I already on the list because I bought some PODS? Thanks!
this is awesome
If you purchased via the ICO site and entered your email address you will be getting updates to that email. Otherwise they will get in contact with you regardless to get your email to keep you updated.
I did and I did. Thanks!!!
Which password for steemit? active?
Yes. This is required to do the once off transfer from your account to @sportpodium. As mentioned, if you are not keen on entering your password do the transfer direct from your steemit account.
Important question: how will you credit ICO participants in the new blockchain? Will new blockchain claims be done with our Steem private keys?
If so, it's extremely important that you make people aware that if they change their steemit password, their old private keys will be erased and they need to keep a copy of their old password to make the POD claim.
You are correct that we need to verify a person's identity when they claim their PODs, but it won't matter if you changed your password because the new password will authenticate you on the Steem blockchain. We are also looking at doing email verification.
Good to know. Is this a fork of Steem?
Hi @sportspodium. I bought some pods on the first day but can't recall that it asked for my e-mail address. Where should I send it?
Ah, yes, I see that your email address is missing. Please send it to pieter@sportspodium.net
I have done so, thank you for your assistance. @k33p3r
This is pretty neat, I love the fact that it's unique to Steemit. Let me go to the link and check it out.
Here via @gavvet's post. Reading that was all it took to convince me that PODS is a big deal and that I needed to be part of it in some way.
Which, I guess, is my long-winded way of saying I just bought some because wow, is this an exciting IPO!
