We're launching our pre-ICO during this month of November. Dates to be announced this following week.
As you can see [on this thread](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2304490.msg23485023#msg23485023)

Most people will automatically think:
Why should anybody care about air pollution?
And they might be right to think so - they just don't know the numbers. Every year 7 million people die of air pollution. And in words of the [World Health Organization, 2014](http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2014/air-pollution/en/):
>In new estimates released today, WHO reports that in 2012 around 7 million people died - one in eight of total global deaths – as a result of air pollution exposure. This finding more than doubles previous estimates and confirms that air pollution is now the world’s largest single environmental health risk. Reducing air pollution could save millions of lives.
And in a new update this year they found out the number is closer to [12.6 million](http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2016/deaths-attributable-to-unhealthy-environments/en/) than to 7.
[WHY do we exist]
First, because of what we just exposed.
Second, we exist because we want to achieve a bigger purpose - which is to clean the pollution we have in the air. And we want to do that for every city of this world.
And to do so, we need your help. And we need to involve everyone in the process.
We need to involve citizens - as they are the heart and soul of the cities. They have the more power than they thought and it resides on the outnumbering of them. Donations will be a choice for most and most people with a job can afford to give away $1 a month.
We need to involve wealthy individuals - so they can give away money taxes will take out of them anyway.
We need to involve small companies that need a quick on their advertising.
We need to involve corporations, funds, and trusts - so their brand gets tied to the desire of cleaning the air and give them a great ROI.
And the best way to achieve both the purpose and the engagement of the population is to create "something" with that goal in mind. And that something is the:
[AIR BASTION]
The Air Bastion purpose and reason to exist is to clean the air from pollution by involving everyone in the goal.
How it's achieved is by donations to the platform, collaboration, education, sponsorships and a ton of other things.
Donations and sponsorship are then forwarded to Pure Air Industries with whom we are closely related now (we have contracts) in order to do the job. These funds will allow Pure Air Industries to finish, test and deploy the units that clean the air into our streets and start making a real impact.
In the future though, AIR BASTION is going to become a non-profit organization - as no money is made through the platform. And if it's possible, operated independently from Pure Air Industries. So when a corporation/startup is shortlisted to receive the donation is going to be elected by stakeholders and registered in a blockchain.
[TECHNOLOGY STACK]
We use Ethereum for the smart contracts and web3 for the DAPP to talk with it. Our contracts can be found on our [Github](https://github.com/PureAirIndustries) page. The sponsorship contracts will accept fiat currency, in exchange for tokens. The donation contracts accept fiat and are transformed to ETH and sent to our ETH wallet. These new Token holders can trade with tokens in our platform and do some specific actions.
Inside AIR BASTION anyone can:
(now)
Sponsor a machine - and buy advertising with Pure Air Industries through our platform (and just with our token).
Donate a recurrent amount
--> more stuff to come soon
(in the future)
mov
encapsulate our public offering so governments can use that instead of their own old methods. (same for corporates)
More technical things about the platform and Pure Air Industries' units can be found in the whitepaper ((English)[https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/www.pureairindustries.com/PureAir+Coin+Whitepaper+v.0.0.1.pdf] and (Russian)[https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/w

[TEAM Presentation]
One of the things we were requested the most is the team skills and current work they do. So, here it goes:
Isaac Ramonet - Inventor and serial entrepreneur - now doing software development for the last 7 years because he loves it. But his secret passion is to create stuff and to mess with electrical stuff. He’s the one developing the Air Bastion.
Jamie - Jamie is a brilliant mechanical engineer who works at deadman but has dreams of working in bigger things like cleaning the air from pollution. When he is not doing CAD designs or working in nitrogen technology he is making boat designs or painting.
Oliver - Oliver is our hands-on electrical engineer. His paper is key on the gathering of data, on the energy getting to each component and to control everything is going fine with the units. But even more importantly, he is the one to blame :)
Adel - was a mechanical engineer turned into an engineer manager for one of the biggest companies in the electrical world. He is in charge of meeting deadlines and to hold our engineers accountable (in a very relaxed manner).
Background references and other kinds of weird stuff is given upon request :)
Hope that has cleared some of the questions - we have also updated our (ICO page)[https://www.pureairindustries.com/ico.html]
// --> stay tuned because shortly we are going to announce the definitive date for the Pre-ICO.
