What does "pausing the contract" mean?
Once a VICR contract is purchased and registered in the blockchain it becomes active. From the moment there are active broadcasters on the platform the system automatically executes the VICR contract. The system purchases your GadgetCoins for a minimum of US$ 1.00 behalf of the models during the cash out process. Then once a day, every morning at 1:00 AM GMT time the system allocates to the contract owners 5% commission from previous day's cash outs. The smart contract engine does this automatically, that's why it is smart contract. That's what happens when the contract isn't paused.
However, if you don't want to sell your coins for the price of US$ 1.00 then you can pause the contract. This means the smart contract engine won't execute the contract whilst in a paused state. Why would you pause the contract? Well, if you expect a higher than US$ 1.00 price then you would not want to sell the coins for one dollar. We said from the beginning that our target is US$ 5.00 and we believe this price is achievable by the end of this year. After all from the models' viewpoint it is irrelevant what the price of the coin is, i.e. if the model's 5% network fee is US$ 50.00 and the GDC price is US$ 1.00 then the model must buy 50 GDC, but if GDC price is US$ 5.00 then the model will have to buy only 10 GDC. Again, for the model doesn't really matter what the price is, however the coin owner could speculate for a higher price by pausing the contract and stopping the sale of GDC.
thanks for explaining the contract pause. that make sense. I hope you don't add this coin to the exchanges. if the coin is on the exchange then the models will buy it from the exchange for a cheaper price. that will push the price down. we could have eventually enough demand from the adult models and gamers for the coin there is no need to be one of the many hundred coins on the exchanges. other coins can do the day trading on the exchange, i will be happy selling internally to the models with the smart contract for the 1 usd price. what is your position on this?
We have been receiving quite a few PMs and emails regarding to the exchange issue. Many users contacted us and suggested to add the coin to various exchanges and said that not being a listed coin is an issue. Others think the coin should not be on the exchange.
Personally, I can't see the point to be one of the 300 coins on the crowded altcoin exchanges. I think we should execute the original plan and serve real world businesses rather than be worried what the current pumping or dumping price is on the exchanges.
In order to do that, to provide businesses and connected IoT devices with blockchain based micropayments we don't have to be on the exchange. To sell the coin for US$ 1.00 or more to the models and gamers who can't cash out without buying the coin, to bring a disruptive technology to the US$ 100 billion porn market, to manage payments for security CCTV cameras we don't have to be on the exchanges. To collect the network fee from the models and gamers we also don't have to be on the exchanges.
This business model is rather simple: we provide the tools and platform so for instance an adult broadcaster can cash out 95% revenue by using our platform as well as the broadcasters pay 5% network fee by buying GDC from the coin owners. To implement and operate such business model we don't have to be on the exchange.
If I understand correctly, the ultimate question from coin owners' viewpoint is that can I sell my coin for US$ 1.00? I think the business model pretty much determines that the answer is yes.
