New Post has been published on https://restartenergy.co/largest-renewable-energy-asset-management-group-joins-the-red-platform-operated-by-restart-energy/
Largest Renewable Energy Asset Management Group joins the RED Platform operated by Restart Energy
Tumblr media
Alive Capital, the largest renewable energy asset management group in Romania, with a portfolio of 308.85 MW, has just become the next energy producer to partner with Restart Energy’s RED platform.
With the promise of closing the gap between energy producers and consumers, the Restart Energy Democracy (RED) is the EU’s fastest-growing private energy supplier. RED’s innovative platform inherently improves transparency and efficiency, and that (coupled with the fact that more than 27,000 households are already onboard) has inspired multiple companies in Romania and abroad to join Restart Energy as loyal partners.
As a renewable energy producer and expert asset management group, Alive Capital is among the most promising partnerships to date.
Today, Alive Capital is a registered and operational company on the most important centralized energy markets (managed by OPCOM) and, just a few years since being founded, they now set the standard for the efficiency of integrated management programs for renewable energy producers across Romania.
At its core, Alive Capital is a team of multidisciplinary professionals that focus their knowledge of energy, engineering, and finance to ensure that their customers get the most competitive prices, the most long-term predictability, and the most overall stability. Their vision has led to them rapidly expanding from just a few small clients into a multi-national portfolio that includes foreign clients, private investors, banks, institutions, and multiple technologies.
Specializing in renewable energy, Alive Capital focuses their efforts on wind, solar, and hydro generated power. And, as a partner with Restart Energy, their knowledge, infrastructure, and expertise will prove paramount to the mutual growth of both companies.
Although the Romanian electricity sector remains complex, with partners like Alive Capital next to RED, Restart Energy is confident that the platform will continue growing strong. One thing that makes this newfound partnership so powerful is that the visions of Alive Capital and RED align perfectly, with both putting integrity, responsibility, and transparency at the top of their list of values.
As a partner with Alive Capital, RED will continue working towards the ultimate goal of becoming the top choice for clients in deregulated energy markets around the world. With plans to expand within the United Kingdom and abroad to exciting new locations such as Asia, RED’s partnership with Alive Capital will prove extremely valuable in Restart Energy’s continued growth and success.
About Restart Energy
Restart Energy Democracy (RED) is a blockchain-powered platform, backed by Restart Energy — a European energy provider with 20 million USD in revenues. The company was built with a vision to democratize the energy sector and quash the dominance of legacy monopolies in the energy world. The company’s credentials include a customer base of 27,000 household and 3,000 corporate clients, expanding at more than 2,000 clients per month, and it’s impressive growth: 400% in 2016 and 425% in 2017.
Restart Energy is developing the world’s first peer-to-peer, fully decentralized energy transfer platform allowing users to send and receive energy worldwide, based on its proprietary virtual balancing system, that uses A.I, Big Data, and IoT technologies. The RED ecosystem is comprised of the RED-Platform, RED-Franchise and RED-MWAT Tokens.
The RED-Franchise is the first power retail franchise to simplify and allow any company or entrepreneur to operate their own power utility enterprise, enabling them to start selling energy in more than 35 deregulated energy markets globally.
MWAT tokens are crypto-tokens that enable the virtual storage and trade of up to 1 MWh of electricity per month on the RED-Platform Software and will facilitate the development of affordable clean energy, though free-market practices. They come pre-charged with 0.11 kWh and get monthly free energy from a special community energy fund that is charged with 1–5% of total grid power — this energy is transferred by producers and suppliers in a special community energy fund in exchange for access to the RED platform.
Importantly, it should be noted that potential franchise partners will need to own (this is not a form of payment to us) a certain number of RED MWAT tokens, in order to qualify for our various franchise tiers — the secret to our award-winning growth as a business!
For more information, please visit our website and read the Restart Energy whitepaper.

IICO Host Jon Najarian Interviews Armand Doru Domuta CEO & Founder Restart Energy
Tumblr media
Restart Energy’s CEO Armand Doru has given an interview to the International ICO channel host and CNBC’s talk show star Jon Najarian. During the interview, Armand talked about how Restart Energy became the first energy company in Europe that accepted bitcoin payments for energy services.
He also explained how RED ecosystem will work and how consumers will pay less for energy, how they will be able to buy and sell energy without a middleman. The focus of Restart Energy is on cleaner energy on a global scale. The company is also working on reducing transaction costs for its customers, said Doru. In addition, Armand Doru and Jon Najarian discussed a RED energy franchise model that allows platform users to expand Restart Energy’s business by encouraging people to switch to RED.
Armand Doru explained to the viewers how the RED MWAT token works and how it allows users to buy and sell energy and even receive free energy that can be used or sold. Doru reminded the audience that Restart Energy is backed by real business and is one of the fastest-growing private energy companies in a deregulated EU environment with 27,000 households and more than 3,000 SMEs.

RED AMA Session #1 — Summary
New Post has been published on http://restartenergy.org/red-ama-session-1%e2%80%8a-%e2%80%8asummary/
RED AMA Session #1 — Summary
First of all, thank you all for tuning in last night for our first AMA (Ask Me Anything) session. Armand Doru Domuta (CEO) and Andrei Avram (CTO) were delighted to answer your burning questions.
Secondly, we apologize for the sound issues — clearly a conference room wasn’t the best idea. We promise you a more professional session next time.
For those of you who couldn’t join us or had trouble understanding parts of the video, we’ve put together a transcript of the questions covered and the answers given.
“In the next two/three months what will be your biggest challenge/challenges to achieve?”
Great companies and successful projects are developed by great people working together as focused teams. That means the biggest challenge is always finding and managing the right people for the entire value chain from product or service development to marketing and sales.
*Restart Energy is hiring. Please read this article and access the section about the positions we have available to find out more and how you can apply.
“Is there a strong demand for franchises by larger, established companies and would there be the possibility to move up the timeline from the roadmap to expand faster?”
We’ve had over 200 applications so far and out of those 30 were for type A franchise. There are also requests coming from corporations. Interestingly, the top three countries from which we’ve received applications are: the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
“Won’t starting a franchise become very expensive if the MWAT token price increases?”
They could, but for this reason, we have proposed the new RED Token Renting System (TRS) to alleviate such potential issues. Read more about it here.
“Is the required amount for a franchise fixed in MWAT, or in USD?”
Franchises are acquired with MWAT tokens only, for the time being.
“What about the platform — could we get some more details about it? I think that having the platform would be a crucial step, so perhaps more information about upgrades, process, description how the platform is being built would be useful.”
We are planning to feature a sneak peek of the RED Platform very soon — it will be where MWAT owners will be able to vote for or against the RED-TRS proposition. It is better to see than tell, right?
“Not sure whether you would have to pay once for a master franchise and then build as many through the country as you like for free, or whether you have to buy MWAT also for each of those.”
Depends on what type of franchise license you acquire.
If you get a Type A franchise — these allow you exclusive country-wide expansion and you can set up as many ancillary businesses within the county as you see fit.
If you buy a Type B franchise, then you’re limited to either city, region, or country — based on your tier. You can set up as many places of business within these parameters as you want and are able to.
For example, if you own a Type B reseller/broker city franchise and want to expand to another region, then you will need to acquire the rights for that region as well. But if you have a Type B regional franchise, you can set up places of business in all cities/towns within that region.
Apply for a franchise here.
More info on RED franchises here.
“Why is the team not focussed on marketing? It’s an important part of the business and one can’t afford to ignore it.”
We are working on marketing strategies, however many of these are under-the-hood technical visibility aspects of our marketing — SEO, for example.
We come from an energy sector background and the marketing needs and wants of a crypto-based model were not as familiar to us initially as they are now. This is why we’ve changed our stance regarding country expansion updates — bringing you incremental updates of current expansion targets, rather than the normal-in-the-industry updates once everything is done.
Our background combined with the rapid growth of our community has taken us somewhat off-guard initially, but we are working diligently to attune ourselves to the communities expectations and exceed them.
We’ve recently also hired two marketing firms to better handle our needs in this area and you’ve already met our new PR Manager — Mihai Herman — that we on-boarded after the need for more community engagement became apparent.
“Concerning the platform and adapting it to the blockchain — which blockchain will be chosen? Ethereum right now is much too slow to use on a larger scale and your platform will work on such. How is this problem going to be resolved? Using another, faster blockchain, perhaps? If so, which one?”
The authentication system, including franchises, can easily be handled using the existing Ethereum main net. The energy exchange system, including the KWT tokens will work on a different system. We are trialling three providers for their blockchain technology and will announce a decision on this matter once we consider it final.
“Concerning the RED Platform again: is there a chance to have it be finished faster? From what I understand, the project depends on this platform.”
While crucial to the use of MWAT tokens within the ecosystem, the RED Platform software’s implementation and design will need their due time — these things cannot be rushed, as quality must be assured.
Furthermore, our expansion as a company and brand — with franchises and all that comes with them — is something we’re already successfully doing. We’re the fastest growing private energy company within the EU and have had over 1700% growth within our first two years of expansion.
Our growth will be boosted with the implementation of the RED Platform software and it will bring major changes to our users, yes, but it is by no means everything we have to offer — it is simply one part of a larger whole. Until it is done, we will continue to expand globally and supply energy as we have done for years now.
“In the whitepaper, it is stated that “Restart Energy offers integrated energy, gas, and fuel packages […]”. My question is: as a consumer, can I also purchase gas from the RED platform or only energy?”
To clarify: the term ‘energy’ stands both for ‘electricity’ and ‘gas’. We supply both, however, electricity distribution networks are almost universally available, while natural gas availability is more scarce; but we do also supply gas. In the first stage, the RED Platform will be developed for electricity trading and it’s possible that in the second stage we might also tokenize natural gas supply.
“As stated on page 15 and 16 of the whitepaper, will it be a problem when franchises are built in all stated countries and have 499,873,492 MWAT tokens locked. How will there be enough tokens for the platform to run?”
Depending on the expansion speed and token price, RED has the option to reduce or increase the minimum necessary amounts of MWAT for specific franchises.
“When will there be an updated whitepaper?”
The Website and Whitepaper are undergoing a renewal process to be in line with the integrated expansion strategy.
“Where are you in getting the product launch in Australia and other countries?”
Australia is a specific deregulated energy market, with very specific aspects. It has 4 major energy suppliers and more then 30 smaller private suppliers. While in recent years, many new companies attempted market entry in the retail of electricity, very few succeeded so the market entry in Australia needs to be very carefully planned.
As such, RED has commissioned a detailed market study of the Australian energy market and also started procedures for registering a local subsidiary. We expect to enter Australia sooner then planned and a JV with a local energy company is also a possibility.
You can see more updates on our global expansion in this article.
“Any new major partnerships made recently?”
We’ve recently started the process of acquiring two hydroelectric plants that generate a combined 20,000,000 KWh of clean energy per year. We will announce the full details on our Medium blog
This is it, for now. We hope that we’ve answered some of your questions and that you’ve taken at least one big idea from this article.
Until next time, make sure you check out Restart Energy’s latest article with updates on everything we’ve been working on from our global expansion roadmap to the RED platform. Read more here!

testing dima - ICO BLOCKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event Ethereum
New Post has been published on http://opiria.biz/2018/04/17/testing-dima-ico-blackchain-cryptocurrency-tge-token-generation-event/
testing dima - ICO BLOCKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event Ethereum
[caption id="attachment_33" align="alignnone" width="300"] ICO[/caption]
The Context ICO BLACKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event
In a world where the internet has made it easier for businesses to launch new products and services, everything is unfolding fast — but not always in a rewarding way. Companies need a way to quickly analyze trends and follow up with relevant market research regarding their products and services — without feedback, most products will fail and large losses are incurred by companies that don’t do enough to get to know their customer. ICO BLACKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event
This is Opiria ICO BLACKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event
Opiria is an online decentralized platform for real-time market research and customer experience feedback, which offers organizations a faster and more precise approach to understand how their consumers think, experience, see and feel. By doing away with veiled middlemen and allowing companies to buy personal data directly from consumers, we are also helping them to better understand the requirements and needs of their clients in a real-time and cost-efficient way. ICO BLACKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event
Our beliefs ICO BLACKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event
We strongly believe that every consumer should have better control over the data they give out to companies — and be fairly compensated for their personal data. In the current climate, companies also risk buying fake or untrustworthy data. By creating Opiria and the PDATA token, we change the game of taking chances by giving the consumers a safe environment to offer accurate and honest personal data — both consumers and companies benefit with our system. ICO BLACKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event
The current problem ICO BLACKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event
Companies worldwide need personal data from consumers. This allows them to increase their market shares by designing new products and services that better suit consumer preferences. The largest problem in this process is that the target audience is worried about its personal data security and takes actions to protect it. This makes it increasingly difficult to get the required qualitative data from individuals, even leading to false or fake data being sold by data brokers. With the traditional system, both companies and consumers lose. ICO BLACKCHAIN CRYPTOCURRENCY TGE Token Generation Event
How does PDATA solve the problem?
To make the bond between the companies and their customers — the consumers — stronger, we created an ecosystem which allows both parties to collaborate directly, called the Opiria platform. The operating mode of this new platform has a simple formula based on the free market: companies can purchase personal data directly from consumers by compensating them with PDATA tokens. The Opiria platform puts a concrete value on personal data and creates a currency that exactly expresses this value by way of supply and demand economics — the PDATA token.
PDATA token — your reward for being an honest trader
The PDATA token creates a marketplace where businesses can buy personal data directly from consumers without any middlemen. Given that up until now users had their data unwillingly taken by data brokers, our new system will allow a flurry of new data to be available from those that up until now have secured their data behind multiple barriers, in an effort to retail data privacy.
Consumers can sell to companies personal data like their opinion about topics of interest, feedback on how they use and like products and services, data about how they browse the internet, data from wearables and smart devices, smartphone usage, what they buy online and more … in exchange they receive PDATA Tokens they can cash out for real money. Thus, consumers can create a passive income stream by monetizing their personal data.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Opiria and PDATA are fully compatible and compliant with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislative changes rolling out EU-wide this year, that aim to primarily give control back to consumers over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business.
These include:
Consumers have to give consent for processing of personal data
Personal data has to be pseudonymized and stored in an encrypted way
Consumers have the right to access their personal data
Consumers have the right to know who will process their personal data
Consumers have the right to rectify and erase their personal data
Personal data processing activities have to be recorded
Data has to be protected by design and by default
Opiria aims at taking advantage of the growing trend that is data protection and privacy, by offering a complete solution that benefits both the consumers and the companies. Join the revolution and help us put the power back in people’s hands. Follow us on Twitter // Telegram // Facebook.
Our TGE (Token Generation Event) is now open for private contributions of $50,000 or more. You can contribute to the private sale here.

Adriana Istrate, Restart Energy Ambassador
New Post has been published on http://restartenergy.net/adriana-istrate-restart-energy-ambassador/
Adriana Istrate, Restart Energy Ambassador
Tumblr media
We are honored to announce that World Record holder Adriana Istrate, the most resilient marathon runner in the world, has joined Restart Energy as our newest ambassador.
Before redefining the impossible and setting a new world record, by completing 14 marathons on all 7 continents, Adriana had a normal day to day life, a regular job, and average hobbies. One day she realized that there is more to life and started chasing her dreams.
How it all began
Adriana’s story is an inspiring one, showing everyone that nothing is out of your reach as long as you believe in yourself and are not afraid to work towards achieving your goals. Being a regular woman over 30 one day and setting world records the next, is certainly a very impressive turnover that shows everyone that we can do amazing things if we work for them.
Realizing that her life was spent too much at the office working late and paying for gym memberships that she could not use due to lack of time, she discovered the strength to change her life — and more importantly, herself — for the better.
Her eyes were opened to her true potential by Andrei Rosu in a presentation about energy and vitality. She was so impressed with what she heard that by the end of the presentation her mind was made up: she was going to start running.
Like all beginnings, it was hard at first. She had to train every day and started to run in a few local marathons in Bucharest. Her training paid off in just 9 months though, finishing her first major sporting event after her sixth month of training — the 21 km Transmaraton — and going on to pass the finish line of the 42 km Bucharest International Marathon and running for 52 km in the 1000 km Balkan Challenge.
In her own words:
“Sport has been an extraordinary tool to gain confidence in my own person, to get out of the mud of comfort in which I dived every day and seek my true identity: that of the normal person with extraordinary energy. From now on, I will do sport as a way of life, in order to keep my energy at maximum levels and to become a model for my family, that I have already started to work on.”
The first big competition
After her success, she had time to think and ponder: “I will continue running, but how, when, why, and what for?” — to these questions, she had no answer… yet. With determination in her heart, she crafted for herself a plan and a purpose: to run 7 marathons and 7 ultra-marathons, on 7 continents, in 777 days — the now-famous 7–7–7 Project.
The first step was also the most treacherous: running 100 km in -25 degrees through the most inhospitable terrain on Earth — this was the Antarctic Ice Marathon and in November 2014, Adriana was going to face it head-on.
Most people enjoy spending their birthdays with friends and family at home, and in the past, this would have been the case for her as well. This time she chose to spend it running for 100 km in Antarctica, in order to raise 15,000 euros for the care of children suffering from cancer (HOSPICE House of Hope Foundation). It was hard, and Adriana even admitted that no training could have prepared her for what was ahead, but in the end, she summoned the will to persevere and won the Antarctic Ice Marathon in less than 24 hours for her 34th birthday, as the only runner that “resisted extreme conditions” that year.
Tumblr media
Before she competed, only 5 other women ever entered and finished the marathon. She was the 6th woman to complete it and the first Romanian-born woman to ever do so and win.
Becoming a legend
Continuing on her journey to become the most resilient woman in the world, Adriana competed in and finished the King George Island Penguin Marathon in Antarctica, then went further north to Patagonia and ran both the Chile Punta Arenas Southern Marathon and the Chile Punta Arenas Ultra 50 km marathon.
With two continents down, Adriana crossed the Atlantic in order to run in Africa. Her first destination where the vast and blistering-hot dunes of the Sahara Desert, where athletes from around the world challenge themselves to finish the Sahara Desert Marathon. Afterward, she set her sights on the Cape Town Two Oceans Ultra 56 km marathon, held on the bejeweled tip of the African continent.
The next leg of her journey took her back to the Old Continent, where she first ran in the French Eco Trail de Paris 50 km — starting near the Grand Canal and past the Parc de Versailles, crossing the finishing line next to the Eiffel Tower, in the very heart of Paris — and then much closer to home, entering and finishing the Chisinau International Marathon.
Following Europe, Adriana ran in New Zealand’s Christchurch Marathon — an event renowned for its fast courses, based on the classic Commonwealth Games marathon of 1974. After New Zealand, she went on to run in one of Australia’s premier marathons, the Australia Ultra 50 km. Interestingly, Adriana might have actually run on two continents here instead of one, as while not yet fully-accepted, there is evidence that geographically Zealandia is a distinct, but mostly submerged continent (also called a ‘drowned continent’ — only New Zealand and a handful of islands are above sea level), that differs from its more established neighbour Australia not only through its geological formation timeline but also ecologically.
After Australia, it was time for her to run in North America. Once there she embarked on the 50km-long Run on the Sly marathon, in Pollock Pines, California — a woodland area at an elevation of over 1,200 meters, within the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Once completed, she undertook the Los Angeles Rocking Summer Marathon and finished that as well.
Nearing the completion of her 7–7–7 project, Adriana Istrate went to Asia and joined the Singapore Marathon — an annual international IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) Gold Label road race that has been held since the early 80s. In 2013, the year before Adriana’s run, the marathon welcomed 60,000 runners from across the globe.
Finally — the last endurance race of the 7–7–7 project — the 70 km Vietnam Mountain Marathon in Asia. The last run proved to be even harder than the first; the Asian tropical jungle turned out to be more treacherous than the frozen wastes of Antarctica and Adriana ran 10 km in 18 hours — most of it ankle-deep in mud. It was a grueling experience, but one she triumphed over.
The 7–7–7 Project was a resounding success.
Adriana Istrate managed to compete in and conquer 14 marathons and ultramarathons in just 10 months — much faster than her goal of 777 days. By doing so, she set a new world record and beat Ziyad Tariq Rahim’s performance.
Adriana’s achievements didn’t stop there — she participated in many other local competitions as well as an Iron Man contest, but her list of accomplishments is simply too great to put it all into one article.
Restart Energy Ambassador
Restart Energy highly values contributions to humanitarian causes, especially when done while bringing the global community closer together — something we also aim to achieve through the Restart Energy Democracy (RED) platform. Adriana has our utmost respect for her contributions to both noble causes and her dedication to pushing the limits of what we know we, as humans, are capable of.
Tumblr media
The next step in Adriana’s distinguished sports career is quickly approaching — on April 15th, this year, Adriana is planning on running in freezing conditions again; this time on the opposite side of the world to where she started her legend. She will be competing in the North Pole Marathon and this time, she will be wearing RED across the finish line.
About Restart Energy
Restart Energy Democracy (RED) is a blockchain-powered platform, backed by Restart Energy — a European energy provider with 20 million USD in revenues. The company was built with a vision to democratize the energy sector and quash the dominance of legacy monopolies in the energy world. The company’s credentials include a customer base of 27,000 household and 3,000 corporate clients, expanding at more than 2,000 clients per month (5,000 new customers in the first two months of 2018), and its impressive growth: 1700% from 2015 until today.
Restart Energy is developing the world’s first peer-to-peer, fully decentralized energy transfer platform allowing users to send and receive energy worldwide, based on its proprietary virtual balancing system, that uses A.I, Big Data, and IoT technologies. The RED ecosystem is comprised of the RED-Platform, RED-Franchise and RED-MWAT Tokens.
The RED-Franchise is the first power retail franchise to simplify and allow any company or entrepreneur to operate their own power utility enterprise, enabling them to start selling energy in more than 35 deregulated energy markets globally.

Upon completion of registration on the platform, an initial loyalty bonus of 0.11 kWh is applied. Producers send out monthly loyalty bonuses through the RED Loyalty System, totaling 1–5% of traded on-grid energy in exchange for access to the RED Platform.
Importantly, it should be noted that potential franchise partners will need to own (this is not a form of payment to us) a certain number of MWAT tokens, in order to qualify for our various franchise tiers — the secret to our award-winning growth as a business!

Continuing on her journey to become the most resilient woman in the world, Adriana competed in and finished the King George Island Penguin Marathon in Antarctica, then went further north to Patagonia and ran both the Chile Punta Arenas Southern Marathon and the Chile Punta Arenas Ultra 50 km marathon.
With two continents down, Adriana crossed the Atlantic in order to run in Africa. Her first destination where the vast and blistering-hot dunes of the Sahara Desert, where athletes from around the world challenge themselves to finish the Sahara Desert Marathon. Afterward, she set her sights on the Cape Town Two Oceans Ultra 56 km marathon, held on the bejeweled tip of the African continent.
The next leg of her journey took her back to the Old Continent, where she first ran in the French Eco Trail de Paris 50 km — starting near the Grand Canal and past the Parc de Versailles, crossing the finishing line next to the Eiffel Tower, in the very heart of Paris — and then much closer to home, entering and finishing the Chisinau International Marathon.
Following Europe, Adriana ran in New Zealand’s Christchurch Marathon — an event renowned for its fast courses, based on the classic Commonwealth Games marathon of 1974. After New Zealand, she went on to run in one of Australia’s premier marathons, the Australia Ultra 50 km. Interestingly, Adriana might have actually run on two continents here instead of one, as while not yet fully-accepted, there is evidence that geographically Zealandia is a distinct, but mostly submerged continent (also called a ‘drowned continent’ — only New Zealand and a handful of islands are above sea level), that differs from its more established neighbour Australia not only through its geological formation timeline but also ecologically.
After Australia, it was time for her to run in North America. Once there she embarked on the 50km-long Run on the Sly marathon, in Pollock Pines, California — a woodland area at an elevation of over 1,200 meters, within the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Once completed, she undertook the Los Angeles Rocking Summer Marathon and finished that as well.
Nearing the completion of her 7–7–7 project, Adriana Istrate went to Asia and joined the Singapore Marathon — an annual international IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) Gold Label road race that has been held since the early 80s. In 2013, the year before Adriana’s run, the marathon welcomed 60,000 runners from across the globe.
Finally — the last endurance race of the 7–7–7 project — the 70 km Vietnam Mountain Marathon in Asia. The last run proved to be even harder than the first; the Asian tropical jungle turned out to be more treacherous than the frozen wastes of Antarctica and Adriana ran 10 km in 18 hours — most of it ankle-deep in mud. It was a grueling experience, but one she triumphed over.
The 7–7–7 Project was a resounding success.
Adriana Istrate managed to compete in and conquer 14 marathons and ultramarathons in just 10 months — much faster than her goal of 777 days. By doing so, she set a new world record and beat Ziyad Tariq Rahim’s performance.
Adriana’s achievements didn’t stop there — she participated in many other local competitions as well as an Iron Man contest, but her list of accomplishments is simply too great to put it all into one article.
Restart Energy Ambassador
Restart Energy highly values contributions to humanitarian causes, especially when done while bringing the global community closer together — something we also aim to achieve through the Restart Energy Democracy (RED) platform. Adriana has our utmost respect for her contributions to both noble causes and her dedication to pushing the limits of what we know we, as humans, are capable of.
Tumblr media
The next step in Adriana’s distinguished sports career is quickly approaching — on April 15th, this year, Adriana is planning on running in freezing conditions again; this time on the opposite side of the world to where she started her legend. She will be competing in the North Pole Marathon and this time, she will be wearing RED across the finish line.

Adriana Istrate, Restart Energy Ambassador
New Post has been published on http://restartenergy.net/adriana-istrate-restart-energy-ambassador/
Adriana Istrate, Restart Energy Ambassador
Tumblr media
We are honored to announce that World Record holder Adriana Istrate, the most resilient marathon runner in the world, has joined Restart Energy as our newest ambassador.
Before redefining the impossible and setting a new world record, by completing 14 marathons on all 7 continents, Adriana had a normal day to day life, a regular job, and average hobbies. One day she realized that there is more to life and started chasing her dreams.
How it all began
Adriana’s story is an inspiring one, showing everyone that nothing is out of your reach as long as you believe in yourself and are not afraid to work towards achieving your goals. Being a regular woman over 30 one day and setting world records the next, is certainly a very impressive turnover that shows everyone that we can do amazing things if we work for them.
Realizing that her life was spent too much at the office working late and paying for gym memberships that she could not use due to lack of time, she discovered the strength to change her life — and more importantly, herself — for the better.
Her eyes were opened to her true potential by Andrei Rosu in a presentation about energy and vitality. She was so impressed with what she heard that by the end of the presentation her mind was made up: she was going to start running.
Like all beginnings, it was hard at first. She had to train every day and started to run in a few local marathons in Bucharest. Her training paid off in just 9 months though, finishing her first major sporting event after her sixth month of training — the 21 km Transmaraton — and going on to pass the finish line of the 42 km Bucharest International Marathon and running for 52 km in the 1000 km Balkan Challenge.
In her own words:
“Sport has been an extraordinary tool to gain confidence in my own person, to get out of the mud of comfort in which I dived every day and seek my true identity: that of the normal person with extraordinary energy. From now on, I will do sport as a way of life, in order to keep my energy at maximum levels and to become a model for my family, that I have already started to work on.”
The first big competition
After her success, she had time to think and ponder: “I will continue running, but how, when, why, and what for?” — to these questions, she had no answer… yet. With determination in her heart, she crafted for herself a plan and a purpose: to run 7 marathons and 7 ultra-marathons, on 7 continents, in 777 days — the now-famous 7–7–7 Project.
The first step was also the most treacherous: running 100 km in -25 degrees through the most inhospitable terrain on Earth — this was the Antarctic Ice Marathon and in November 2014, Adriana was going to face it head-on.
Most people enjoy spending their birthdays with friends and family at home, and in the past, this would have been the case for her as well. This time she chose to spend it running for 100 km in Antarctica, in order to raise 15,000 euros for the care of children suffering from cancer (HOSPICE House of Hope Foundation). It was hard, and Adriana even admitted that no training could have prepared her for what was ahead, but in the end, she summoned the will to persevere and won the Antarctic Ice Marathon in less than 24 hours for her 34th birthday, as the only runner that “resisted extreme conditions” that year.

Before she competed, only 5 other women ever entered and finished the marathon. She was the 6th woman to complete it and the first Romanian-born woman to ever do so and win.

Adriana Istrate, Restart Energy Ambassador
New Post has been published on http://restartenergy.net/adriana-istrate-restart-energy-ambassador/
Adriana Istrate, Restart Energy Ambassador
Tumblr media
We are honored to announce that World Record holder Adriana Istrate, the most resilient marathon runner in the world, has joined Restart Energy as our newest ambassador.
Before redefining the impossible and setting a new world record, by completing 14 marathons on all 7 continents, Adriana had a normal day to day life, a regular job, and average hobbies. One day she realized that there is more to life and started chasing her dreams.
How it all began
Adriana’s story is an inspiring one, showing everyone that nothing is out of your reach as long as you believe in yourself and are not afraid to work towards achieving your goals. Being a regular woman over 30 one day and setting world records the next, is certainly a very impressive turnover that shows everyone that we can do amazing things if we work for them.
Realizing that her life was spent too much at the office working late and paying for gym memberships that she could not use due to lack of time, she discovered the strength to change her life — and more importantly, herself — for the better.
Her eyes were opened to her true potential by Andrei Rosu in a presentation about energy and vitality. She was so impressed with what she heard that by the end of the presentation her mind was made up: she was going to start running.
Like all beginnings, it was hard at first. She had to train every day and started to run in a few local marathons in Bucharest. Her training paid off in just 9 months though, finishing her first major sporting event after her sixth month of training — the 21 km Transmaraton — and going on to pass the finish line of the 42 km Bucharest International Marathon and running for 52 km in the 1000 km Balkan Challenge.
In her own words:
“Sport has been an extraordinary tool to gain confidence in my own person, to get out of the mud of comfort in which I dived every day and seek my true identity: that of the normal person with extraordinary energy. From now on, I will do sport as a way of life, in order to keep my energy at maximum levels and to become a model for my family, that I have already started to work on.”
The first big competition
After her success, she had time to think and ponder: “I will continue running, but how, when, why, and what for?” — to these questions, she had no answer… yet. With determination in her heart, she crafted for herself a plan and a purpose: to run 7 marathons and 7 ultra-marathons, on 7 continents, in 777 days — the now-famous 7–7–7 Project.
The first step was also the most treacherous: running 100 km in -25 degrees through the most inhospitable terrain on Earth — this was the Antarctic Ice Marathon and in November 2014, Adriana was going to face it head-on.
Most people enjoy spending their birthdays with friends and family at home, and in the past, this would have been the case for her as well. This time she chose to spend it running for 100 km in Antarctica, in order to raise 15,000 euros for the care of children suffering from cancer (HOSPICE House of Hope Foundation). It was hard, and Adriana even admitted that no training could have prepared her for what was ahead, but in the end, she summoned the will to persevere and won the Antarctic Ice Marathon in less than 24 hours for her 34th birthday, as the only runner that “resisted extreme conditions” that year.
Tumblr media
Before she competed, only 5 other women ever entered and finished the marathon. She was the 6th woman to complete it and the first Romanian-born woman to ever do so and win.
Becoming a legend
Continuing on her journey to become the most resilient woman in the world, Adriana competed in and finished the King George Island Penguin Marathon in Antarctica, then went further north to Patagonia and ran both the Chile Punta Arenas Southern Marathon and the Chile Punta Arenas Ultra 50 km marathon.
With two continents down, Adriana crossed the Atlantic in order to run in Africa. Her first destination where the vast and blistering-hot dunes of the Sahara Desert, where athletes from around the world challenge themselves to finish the Sahara Desert Marathon. Afterward, she set her sights on the Cape Town Two Oceans Ultra 56 km marathon, held on the bejeweled tip of the African continent.
The next leg of her journey took her back to the Old Continent, where she first ran in the French Eco Trail de Paris 50 km — starting near the Grand Canal and past the Parc de Versailles, crossing the finishing line next to the Eiffel Tower, in the very heart of Paris — and then much closer to home, entering and finishing the Chisinau International Marathon.
Following Europe, Adriana ran in New Zealand’s Christchurch Marathon — an event renowned for its fast courses, based on the classic Commonwealth Games marathon of 1974. After New Zealand, she went on to run in one of Australia’s premier marathons, the Australia Ultra 50 km. Interestingly, Adriana might have actually run on two continents here instead of one, as while not yet fully-accepted, there is evidence that geographically Zealandia is a distinct, but mostly submerged continent (also called a ‘drowned continent’ — only New Zealand and a handful of islands are above sea level), that differs from its more established neighbour Australia not only through its geological formation timeline but also ecologically.
After Australia, it was time for her to run in North America. Once there she embarked on the 50km-long Run on the Sly marathon, in Pollock Pines, California — a woodland area at an elevation of over 1,200 meters, within the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Once completed, she undertook the Los Angeles Rocking Summer Marathon and finished that as well.
Nearing the completion of her 7–7–7 project, Adriana Istrate went to Asia and joined the Singapore Marathon — an annual international IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) Gold Label road race that has been held since the early 80s. In 2013, the year before Adriana’s run, the marathon welcomed 60,000 runners from across the globe.
Finally — the last endurance race of the 7–7–7 project — the 70 km Vietnam Mountain Marathon in Asia. The last run proved to be even harder than the first; the Asian tropical jungle turned out to be more treacherous than the frozen wastes of Antarctica and Adriana ran 10 km in 18 hours — most of it ankle-deep in mud. It was a grueling experience, but one she triumphed over.
The 7–7–7 Project was a resounding success.
Adriana Istrate managed to compete in and conquer 14 marathons and ultramarathons in just 10 months — much faster than her goal of 777 days. By doing so, she set a new world record and beat Ziyad Tariq Rahim’s performance.
Adriana’s achievements didn’t stop there — she participated in many other local competitions as well as an Iron Man contest, but her list of accomplishments is simply too great to put it all into one article.
Restart Energy Ambassador
Restart Energy highly values contributions to humanitarian causes, especially when done while bringing the global community closer together — something we also aim to achieve through the Restart Energy Democracy (RED) platform. Adriana has our utmost respect for her contributions to both noble causes and her dedication to pushing the limits of what we know we, as humans, are capable of.
Tumblr media
The next step in Adriana’s distinguished sports career is quickly approaching — on April 15th, this year, Adriana is planning on running in freezing conditions again; this time on the opposite side of the world to where she started her legend. She will be competing in the North Pole Marathon and this time, she will be wearing RED across the finish line.

Most people enjoy spending their birthdays with friends and family at home, and in the past, this would have been the case for her as well. This time she chose to spend it running for 100 km in Antarctica, in order to raise 15,000 euros for the care of children suffering from cancer (HOSPICE House of Hope Foundation). It was hard, and Adriana even admitted that no training could have prepared her for what was ahead, but in the end, she summoned the will to persevere and won the Antarctic Ice Marathon in less than 24 hours for her 34th birthday, as the only runner that “resisted extreme conditions” that year.
Before she competed, only 5 other women ever entered and finished the marathon. She was the 6th woman to complete it and the first Romanian-born woman to ever do so and win.
Becoming a legend
Continuing on her journey to become the most resilient woman in the world, Adriana competed in and finished the King George Island Penguin Marathon in Antarctica, then went further north to Patagonia and ran both the Chile Punta Arenas Southern Marathon and the Chile Punta Arenas Ultra 50 km marathon.
With two continents down, Adriana crossed the Atlantic in order to run in Africa. Her first destination where the vast and blistering-hot dunes of the Sahara Desert, where athletes from around the world challenge themselves to finish the Sahara Desert Marathon. Afterward, she set her sights on the Cape Town Two Oceans Ultra 56 km marathon, held on the bejeweled tip of the African continent.
The next leg of her journey took her back to the Old Continent, where she first ran in the French Eco Trail de Paris 50 km — starting near the Grand Canal and past the Parc de Versailles, crossing the finishing line next to the Eiffel Tower, in the very heart of Paris — and then much closer to home, entering and finishing the Chisinau International Marathon.
Following Europe, Adriana ran in New Zealand’s Christchurch Marathon — an event renowned for its fast courses, based on the classic Commonwealth Games marathon of 1974. After New Zealand, she went on to run in one of Australia’s premier marathons, the Australia Ultra 50 km. Interestingly, Adriana might have actually run on two continents here instead of one, as while not yet fully-accepted, there is evidence that geographically Zealandia is a distinct, but mostly submerged continent (also called a ‘drowned continent’ — only New Zealand and a handful of islands are above sea level), that differs from its more established neighbour Australia not only through its geological formation timeline but also ecologically.
After Australia, it was time for her to run in North America. Once there she embarked on the 50km-long Run on the Sly marathon, in Pollock Pines, California — a woodland area at an elevation of over 1,200 meters, within the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Once completed, she undertook the Los Angeles Rocking Summer Marathon and finished that as well.
Nearing the completion of her 7–7–7 project, Adriana Istrate went to Asia and joined the Singapore Marathon — an annual international IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) Gold Label road race that has been held since the early 80s. In 2013, the year before Adriana’s run, the marathon welcomed 60,000 runners from across the globe.
Finally — the last endurance race of the 7–7–7 project — the 70 km Vietnam Mountain Marathon in Asia. The last run proved to be even harder than the first; the Asian tropical jungle turned out to be more treacherous than the frozen wastes of Antarctica and Adriana ran 10 km in 18 hours — most of it ankle-deep in mud. It was a grueling experience, but one she triumphed over.
The 7–7–7 Project was a resounding success.
Adriana Istrate managed to compete in and conquer 14 marathons and ultramarathons in just 10 months — much faster than her goal of 777 days. By doing so, she set a new world record and beat Ziyad Tariq Rahim’s performance.
Adriana’s achievements didn’t stop there — she participated in many other local competitions as well as an Iron Man contest, but her list of accomplishments is simply too great to put it all into one article.
Restart Energy Ambassador
Restart Energy highly values contributions to humanitarian causes, especially when done while bringing the global community closer together — something we also aim to achieve through the Restart Energy Democracy (RED) platform. Adriana has our utmost respect for her contributions to both noble causes and her dedication to pushing the limits of what we know we, as humans, are capable of.
The next step in Adriana’s distinguished sports career is quickly approaching — on April 15th, this year, Adriana is planning on running in freezing conditions again; this time on the opposite side of the world to where she started her legend. She will be competing in the North Pole Marathon and this time, she will be wearing RED across the finish line.

Adriana Istrate, Restart Energy Ambassador
New Post has been published on http://restartenergy.net/adriana-istrate-restart-energy-ambassador/
Adriana Istrate, Restart Energy Ambassador
Tumblr media
We are honored to announce that World Record holder Adriana Istrate, the most resilient marathon runner in the world, has joined Restart Energy as our newest ambassador.
Before redefining the impossible and setting a new world record, by completing 14 marathons on all 7 continents, Adriana had a normal day to day life, a regular job, and average hobbies. One day she realized that there is more to life and started chasing her dreams.
How it all began
Adriana’s story is an inspiring one, showing everyone that nothing is out of your reach as long as you believe in yourself and are not afraid to work towards achieving your goals. Being a regular woman over 30 one day and setting world records the next, is certainly a very impressive turnover that shows everyone that we can do amazing things if we work for them.
Realizing that her life was spent too much at the office working late and paying for gym memberships that she could not use due to lack of time, she discovered the strength to change her life — and more importantly, herself — for the better.
Her eyes were opened to her true potential by Andrei Rosu in a presentation about energy and vitality. She was so impressed with what she heard that by the end of the presentation her mind was made up: she was going to start running.
Like all beginnings, it was hard at first. She had to train every day and started to run in a few local marathons in Bucharest. Her training paid off in just 9 months though, finishing her first major sporting event after her sixth month of training — the 21 km Transmaraton — and going on to pass the finish line of the 42 km Bucharest International Marathon and running for 52 km in the 1000 km Balkan Challenge.
In her own words:
“Sport has been an extraordinary tool to gain confidence in my own person, to get out of the mud of comfort in which I dived every day and seek my true identity: that of the normal person with extraordinary energy. From now on, I will do sport as a way of life, in order to keep my energy at maximum levels and to become a model for my family, that I have already started to work on.”
The first big competition
After her success, she had time to think and ponder: “I will continue running, but how, when, why, and what for?” — to these questions, she had no answer… yet. With determination in her heart, she crafted for herself a plan and a purpose: to run 7 marathons and 7 ultra-marathons, on 7 continents, in 777 days — the now-famous 7–7–7 Project.
The first step was also the most treacherous: running 100 km in -25 degrees through the most inhospitable terrain on Earth — this was the Antarctic Ice Marathon and in November 2014, Adriana was going to face it head-on.
