Following Aladinnetwork sales, promotion, and earlier publications on bitcointalk.org:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52497427 , several questions aimed to clarify every ambiguity concerning the project have been compiled for investors and crypto enthusiast’s perusal. They are enumerated thus:
Syscoin uses its masternode functionality for its marketplace and Boscoin integrates masternode for its smart contracts, what is the specific function and usage of Aladin nodes?
A node is a device on a blockchain network that is in essence the foundation of the technology, allowing it to function and survive. Each cryptocurrency has its own nodes, maintaining the transaction records of that particular token. Nodes are the individual parts of the larger data structure that is a blockchain.
Aladin has 21 Nodes in total to perform key functions on blockchain like in insurance, betting platform or any other conditional payment system. They will operate with DPOS prototype same as EOS, which has proven to be one of the fastest and safest (secured) so far.
What percentage or amount of Aladin nodes has been sold so far?
6 nodes are committed already with our network. Further 5 are in talks to reaching potential interested party. Anyone who has interest to be Node operator with Aladinnetwork, must contact us now for best deal (
[email protected] or
https://www.linkedin.com/in/adil-abbas-64915918b )
What is the least amount of nodes that is needed to be sold for Aladinnetwork to kick off or continued?It is compulsory we engage the 21 nodes before getting live. In case we don’t get 21 Nodes nominated yet before January 2020, we still have way to go ahead with the project by offering either additional opportunity to existing node operators to run more than 1 node. There are many choices before us to keep this project going.
Is the mandatory Aladin coins staking by nodes owner different from the initial node purchase of £100000?
Besides the cost of the node hardware and the rest of node setup, we are providing node operators 100,000 ALA coins for staking into their wallet. They are paying for the intended staking ALA coins now. Also they can get extra Ala coins which they can sell later for profit if they like, as price will go up. We started with £100,000 for 100,000 ALA coins but we increase the price as demand increases.
Any idea of what it takes to acquire a standard Aladin hardware node and its setup cost besides the staking fees?
A node operator needs about $10k to $15k hardware one off cost. Also another 10k monthly operation running cost ongoing for rent, electricity, internet and engineer cost. These can be taken care of from 50k monthly node earning incentive.
So what is the maximum supply of Ala coin available since nodes owner can buy extra coin besides the needed staking coins for their nodes?
Ala coin has 800m total supply and will be locked with just only 5% being released into market in the first year, 4% in the second year, down to 2% in the fourth year all in the bid to make it a bit stable, although this approach could be changed by voting.
Again, Aladinnetwork will be used by dapps creators or by anyone and there will be one off small fee for those services. Fee will be in ALA coin and revenue will be burnt continuously to give greater value to ALA coin. This is part of the tokenomics that will be backing this project.
Does Aladinnetwork have any expansion plan for the future to increase the number of its entire nodes if demands persist?
No, because the total cannot exceed 21 nodes.
So far, Aladin nodes have been portrayed as the service provision based blockchain. What is the plan to get clients to patronize these services? Is there any plan to source the patronage of these services?
Most Dapps bring users to platform apart from node owners who may be Insurance Corporation with good number of clients. We also have in house media comparing team, who will write and do massive campaign shortly. Besides, we also have external blog outreach arrangement, online and offline marketing plan promotion and Tech camps for developers to develop dapps.
Must these nodes be hosted in a physical server farm or be hosted independently with the required specification & configuration and connected via the Internet?
Server will require specification and will configure with Aladin software via internet
Can a node owner own and operate more than one node?
No
Besides the burning of Ala coin, what other measures will be adopted to avoid coin dumping?
Coins are staked to use the services of the platform tools to develop dapps. This means as more dapps are developed more coins will be staked which will support price. Node will require to stake ALA coin to 100,000 in number. Above all, coins will only come into market from Node, dapps owner, voters and corporation. All these have coins staked in the platform and will work to protect their interest.
What is the fate of a node that is not constantly nominated or voted to be a producer node?
They have chance to be elected next time if they meet criteria. However, they will lose income for term not elected to perform as a node.
How will an ordinary user who does not own a node participate in the coin staking on Aladinnetwork?
Coins can be staked into wallet by ordinary user who is looking to be candidate for node election. He can be voter and a voter will earn financial reward as well based on his vote casting. We are not doing ICO or IEO, so voters will buy initially coins from node at exchanges to be voters.
What about the sales made available to crowd funding and that done using the solmax cash?
They are very limited, just few thousands and does not make any difference. Hence, they don't have the volume to determine the market price
Will Ala coin be limited to an internal exchange or will it be subjected to the rigors of listing in the public exchange for trading?It will be listed at major public exchanges and will be available for trading.
Will Aladinnetwork sell Ala coin directly to buyers or voters through the exchange?
You can expect millions of users buying coins, so mostly coins will be from node operators as they are mostly source of releasing coins in the market together with developers and users. Aladinnetwork will not sell directly to buyers or voters through the exchange.
We will also entertain more questions through this medium as the need arises. Visit us at
