Rivetz Postpones Decentralized Cybersecurity Token Crowdsale until August 10, 2017 at 1700 UTC

RICHMOND, MA — (Marketwired) — 07/24/17 — . (), a newly formed subsidiary of Rivetz Corp., today announced it will postpone its public crowdsale until August 10, 2017. Rivetz is taking these steps in light of the potential changes to the Bitcoin protocol on August 1, 2017. The extension will provide time for any security concerns or market disruptions associated with the potential change to the Bitcoin protocol to be resolved prior to the commencement of the public crowdsale. The decision was made in consultation with Rivetz–s advisors in the best interest of token sale participants.

In response to security incidents affecting Ethereum and other cryptocurrency networks, Rivetz and TokenMarket will use this additional time to conduct further security reviews of the token sale process and implement additional protections. Instructions on how to best authenticate presented data will be published on in the coming days. The website will be the definitive source of data while SSL and PKI certificates will be heavily used to assure the proof of authorship.

“We are taking steps to provide a stronger assurance model for our webpage and for the sale address,” said Steven Sprague, Founder of Rivetz. “We firmly believe that it is best to be patient at the moment and wait for the changes to the Bitcoin protocol to settle.”

During the extension period, the Rivetz pre-sale will remain open, and Rivetz will actively work with its partners to ensure orders are properly processed and that they are provided with the correct information. The pre-sale will close on August 9, 2017 at 1700 UTC and the public token crowdsale will go live on August 10, 2017 at 1700 UTC. The crowdsale will end on September 10, 2017 at 1700 UTC. Rivetz will provide simple “Security 101” guidelines on their webpage to help people with verifying the token sale address.

“Information security is always a challenge, and we are all learning that we need to maintain a high bar in the crypto space even as young companies,” added Sprague. “We are grateful for the community–s support as we execute our token sale in a fair, secure, and responsible manner.”
