Topic: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network - page 15. (Read 47132 times)

The token sale will start at 4am GMT tomorrow (9/1) - there is also a live countdown on their website - https://alismedia.jp/

You will open ICO 2 times for same project that is insane so what future will of the current one fundraising campaign. You have to come with solid mind to decide first what you want to do with this business I think this kind of decision will create confusion for people.

The only ICO that is guaranteed to happen is the one that begins in ~10hrs, on Ethereum, using ETH. The NEO partnership will hopefully bear out but at this point nothing is set in stone. Going public with the partnership with NEO before anything had been finalized was perhaps confusing for people. For that we are sorry.

Hope that helps to clear up some stuff! 

How about Baunty?

Looks like a great project. What time (gmt) does the ico open on 1st September?

There is no bounty campaign. The twitter account is run by the development team, who are all Japanese, and not surprisingly mostly communicate in Japanese. They have reproduced most-if-not-all of their Medium posts in English, however, as well as having the Whitepaper in English.
   
The ALIS team is currently in talks with the NEO team about potentially doing an ICO on NEO at a later date. However, currently they are focused on their ETH ICO that starts on 9/1. Once that is completed, a secondary ICO on NEO may occur.

Hope that helps clear some stuff up! 

Any bounty for Facebook and Twitter?

how about bounty campaign. are you not putting that into consideration. the site load really fast, website navigation is seamless and i like the translation plugin that you added. I will love if you can create telegram page for this ICO. also it will be great if you can consider some accepted token like Waves and Dash. not just only ETH. Also i see from your twitter handle you tweet most time in japanese. I will like you to consider using English also. I wish you best of luck

I would say that there is overall interest - just that it has not manifested itself here specifically, or on the main English-language cryptocurrency areas of the Internet. That's probably because it's a Japanese project so the initial interest has heavily leaned towards the East Asia region.
  
But in just a few short weeks their Slack has grown from less than 300 people to over 1,000 - and the team has meaningfully engaged with Japanese and regional media outlets to promote their upcoming ICO. If you can read Japanese their twitter handle - @ALIS_media has linked many of the recent articles/interviews.
  
Forum posts, like the one here or at cryptocurrency talk, or elsewhere, have been effective in their own way - but when a team's native language is not English, there is necessarily going to be some initial sluggishness in getting the message out beyond their native lingual sphere.

Hope that helps to clarify some things!  

The ALIS tokens will be available to purchase or trade outside of Japan. If you are a resident of the State of New York, you cannot participate in the ICO on 9/1. However, everywhere else in the world (as far as I am aware) can participate. The ALIS tokens will be listed on Bittrex, Kraken, and JP Exchange initially (the team is currently communicating with those exchanges so that it can be listed shortly after the ICO completes) - so they should be easy to trade whether an investor is in North America, Europe, or Asia.
   
But your second point, regarding region-only social media in East Asia, is one of the contextual market variables that (I think) will meaningfully contribute to ALIS' ultimate success.

Hope that helps clear some things up! 

I was follow your twitter, if I may make a suggestion you should a lot of speak English at twitter

So a social media for japanese, did this means that this coins will only available for Japan region? Since as far as I know that Japan always has their region only social media that are not available in another country.

There doesn't seem to be too much interest here.. I wonder why.
I like the idea of the project and although it's just aimed at Japan, I can see the value of the ICO as they are raising "only" $3.5m.

Why do you think there is not that much interest in the topic, Alis team?

ICO very soon.
No bounty at all?

opensource of STEEM for japan lol

looks promising, lets see

Good idea, but what about the airdrop or other bounty program?

is there no other platform than Ethereum (ETH) for selling ICOs?

why not btc, dash, ltc etc...?

We believe that the differences between our model and Steemit's model are substantive and important, even though both models support the notion that social media network's can benefit from direct incentives towards certain behaviors.
 
Some of the differences between ALIS and Steemit include: ALIS' 1 currency vs. Steemit's 3, ALIS' reward structure values the first people to like/share a post that ends up being very popular much moreso than Steemit's. The ALIS token is more effective on our network the longer the user has held it (to help prevent people from loading up on ALIS tokens to do astro-turf marketing). On ALIS one's overall activity contributes to creating a User Reliability Score that other users can look to and see who is regularly posting interesting, reliable, accurate and authentic content. ALIS also has a system that rewards interactions with multiple users over repeated interactions with the same user, to also help prevent gaming the system on the one hand, and to help encourage more diverse interactions on the network on the other hand.
   
Social media networks that aren't a good cultural fit for Japan tend to not work out. Currently, Japan has the highest saturation of social media users (over 90%) in the first world, but less than 30% of them use Facebook, because Facebook's model doesn't properly fit the Japanese culture. Most Japanese currently use Twitter (~70%), because 140 characters goes much farther with the Japanese language. Simply adding Japanese language support doesn't guarantee that a product will be successful in the Japanese market.

Japan has a very specific culture and very specific desires when it comes to things like social media, advertising, marketing, authenticity and accuracy. Our opinion is that ALIS addresses those concerns directly, effectively, and in a way that will be easy-to-understand and use for the average Japanese consumer, in no small part because the team is Japanese, experienced in creating social media products for the Japanese market, and familiar with effective ways to draw in the Japanese user.
   
Thank you for your time and consideration 

thanks. but will you do once STEEMIT does Japanese Language Support?
