Exclusive: Telegram is holding a secretive second pre-ICO sale
The company is raising even more cash for its controversial blockchain-powered network
You have to admire Pavel Durov’s audacity.
Over the past few months, the CEO of Telegram convinced 81 accredited investors, including Silicon Valley giants Sequoia Capital and Benchmark, to give him $850 million in a presale of his company’s cryptocurrency in advance of an initial coin offering, or ICO. Now he’s trying to raise even more money from accredited investors before the coin gets offered to the public in a secretive second presale.
This week, investors got an email explaining that Telegram is doing another private presale, four sources with knowledge of the deal told The Verge.
The exact amount to be raised is still being determined, according to one source, but two other sources said Telegram is estimating it will be around the same size as the first round, which would bring the total raised to over $1.6 billion before the ICO even opens up to the general public.

A report claims that Iran is spying on smartphones
The report, entitled “Iran: Cyber Repression; How the IRGC Uses Cyberwarfare to Preserve the Theocracy”, released that the Regime has created close to 100 spyware apps, including Mobogram, Telegram Farsi, Hotgram, Wispi, and Telegram Talayi, that resemble popular apps and spy on the unwitting Iranians who download them by mistake.

At this time the report has not been disclosed so we couldn't verify this information 🤷♂️
In July 2017, Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram, suggested on Twitter that "Mobogram is an outdated and potentially insecure fork of Telegram from Iran."

Today we want to talk about BotGaming, a gaming project started in 2015 with a poker bot. An awesome Bot that lets Telegram users play Texas Holdem poker with their friends and random people at private and public tables that seat 5-9 people.
▶️ ICO BORN IN TELEGRAM
And now they are announcing an ICO, probably the first ICO born inside Telegram:
BotGaming, the leading developer of games for Telegram, announced their upcoming Initial Coin Offering (ICO).
▶️ STATS
Today the total number of bots installed on all platforms exceeds 400,000, with more than 35,000 monthly active users. Their products have been mentioned by Forbes, TechCrunch, and CNet. @PokerBot is recognized as the #1 game in popular messenger Telegram.
The company will use the capital raise from the ICO to develop a blockchain powered gambling platform to enable players of their existing games to play with real currency, further monetizing an already successful in-app purchase model.

BREAKING 🔥 The Court of Moscow decided to block Telegram on the territory of Russia. ℹ️ @geeksChannel
This is happening because Telegram is not going to share the private encryption keys to the russian government. These keys would allow to spy all messages from russian users.
We strongly recommend russian users to use a VPN and/or proxy service to mask their real IP. With that trick you will be able to use Telegram.
