the latest Q&A about Achain
Q: How realistic is it for Achain to develop a side chain that holds a fixed exchange rate specifically to Bitcoins?
A: Overall a brilliant idea - It is definitely possible given the potentials of our current technology, though I am still entirely convinced of any direct contributions it would have made to our existing business model. It is, nevertheless, worth a try.
Q: When will Achain be officially introduced to major trading platforms worldwide? Such as Poloniex, Bittrex, Bitfinex, and Bitnance.
A: We have, in fact, already contacted and submitted materials to many of the trading platforms that you have mentioned. We are expecting fruitful outcomes in the near future.
Q: Achain is, at least to my knowledge, not always best known for its focus on marketing directions. Do you have any recent updates on that?

Meanwhile, we are striving to become one of the leading participants in some of the major blockchain technology events worldwide - most recently, we are planning for a keynote speech at The Blockchain Summit in Singapore in this November. At the same time, we have been building a strong international community of Achain fans - that being said, regardless of their locations, individuals and groups with adequate interest and resources are all welcome to contact the Achain Foundation to gather technological support.

A: We will soon announce them in November, but any further details regarding to that will have to be disclosed by the project directors and teams only.
Q: Will there be no more effort of promotion to be made within (China’s) domestic market?
A: Achain Foundation will unfortunately have to abandon its leading role in the domestic market due to the pressure of the country’s policies. However, there are definitely still rooms for Achain fans to organize unofficial activities.
Q: As a major public chain, how does Achain avoid the risks of having an insufficient hash power? Especially taking in consideration of the relatively small size of its current community.
A: Achain is strictly based on DPOS mechanism, which eliminates the problems of mining and hash power. Besides, as we continue to develop on a global scale, the Achain blockchain network will also grow wider and more powerful.
Q: Would it be possible, especially for the international community, to obtain more information about Achain’s team and investors?
A: Yes. We are planning on upgrading our current official website to incorporate in more detailed information in this regard. We definitely have kept a complete record from our old and new clients from the past.

A: We generally provide ICO investors with a lockout period anywhere between one to two years. That being said, even the earliest release of those tokens would not come until July, 2018.

Q: You have a $50 million market cap right now without anyone using the platform, which seems very high. Why is that?
