Well, thats it. This is a 99% scam. If not then dev. is a horrible businessman and promoter and his coin wont survive. Idea is good though so I hope people actually implement this idea.

Level Coin,
I noticed that you are planning a 2 week beta period for founders after the initial funding phase. How will the initial funds be generated? I'm just wondering how you would be generating funds for a Kickstarter campaign once the blockchain is created. I'm not the most well versed on the intricacies of the blockchains, but if it is possible to generate new L1 currency for those who pledge on the Kickstarter, would it be possible to implement a system for the founders wherein they could increase their initial investment up to the 1 BTC cap during the 2 week beta period?
For instance, I pledge 2 ltc now and become a founder. The beta starts and I feel very confident in the coin, can I during the beta pledge more money prior to the end of the beta? The 1 btc cap could still be a good cutoff for initial investors. Maybe offer additional buy-ins at only 1.25x the Kickstarter values or even just offer them at 1x as we would still be getting a head start on the market.
Just a thought / suggestion.

The founder rates are set in stone. 1.5x for pre-beta, and 1.0 post-beta. It would be unfair to change it this late into the project. The initial funds will be generated on the genesis block once I have tallied how much Level 1 coin each person has purchased. The Kickstarter will have 3 reward tiers. 100 slots for $100 USD each, 50 slots for $500 USD and 10 slots for $1,000 USD. The level 1 required to fill exactly the entire Kickstarter total will also be generated on the genesis block. Should there be any leftover Level 1 coins due to the reward slots not being filled up, these coins will be used for giveaways, bounties, and generally will be given back to the community. The whole process can be monitored via the blockchain, I will not be keeping any of these coins. There is still time to buy into the 1.5x pre-beta rate.
Can I make a request as an investor?
The coins that are left over from the kickstarter should be destroyed to protect the investment of everyone who invested. Kickstarter projects rarely sell out of all slots of any project. We may be left over with a lot of spare coins. The kickstarter may not succeed and we may be left over with ALL the coins. To give these coins away for free to everyone doesn't seem fair since this is an IPO and we had to pay for those coins. Even if they are to be used for bounties, they will enter the marketplace and devalue the rest of the coins we paid for.
For a pre-mined coin, this makes sense. For an IPO it doesn't.
NXT didn't premine coins for bounties/giveaways. It secured the value of the initial investors coins.
I can do that. Does anyone else have an opinion on what should be done with the left over coins?

I have no affiliation with this user other than he has invested in the pre-launch fundraiser. If he was trying to get this project funded, this is not a method I would have condoned.
This is likely a FUD tactic used by the competitor after I mentioned the inherent flaw in their system. You can view these posts in my history, which is likely why Levelcoin is being attacked.

I don't see how this system is anti-inflationary. As the number of LVL2 coins in the system increases, so the rate of LVL1 coin production increases. As LVL1 coins are now being produced faster, their value decreases. People then burn LVL1 coins at an ever increasing rate, thus producing more LVL2 coins, which in turn increases the rate of LVL1 coin production. How is that not inflationary?
The rate of coin generation has vast diminishing returns. LVL2 coins generate LVL1 at a very slow pace.
If one person burns 1,000 LVL1 coins, that one transaction could be month's worth of LVL2 generation. It may even be deflationary.

I'm still on the fence about this one as well. Seems like a great concept, but I'm not sure if this is legit or not.
Just invest a little then.Better to get a little of something than a lot of nothing

Hey Levelcoin, one last question for you before I decide to invest or not. Can you provide proof that you sent back the 1BTC that the guy who invested 2BTC in? Blockchain would be fine.

Looks interesting. What is the maximum buy in? Can you confirm it is 1 bitcoin per person?
It is indeed 1 BTC per person, to avoid large holder hoarding/manipulation.
This will get you the maximum possible 150,000 Level 1 coins.
In two days this number will be cut to 100,000.

Yes, with the increased amount of senders these last couple of days I created a second wallet on a more secure computer.
The computer with the previous wallet begun to perform slower than usual and I feared it may have caught a virus. This was just a security measure.

Can you provide us a quick work-in-progress screenshot of the gui please.
The GUI is in the hands of the designer, when he is complete he will send it to me after I pay him.Can you tell us how much will be rewarded per level for the Kickstarter campaign? For instance how many level 1 coins for each $100, $500, and $1,000 pledge?
I will be basing buy in costs on BTC at $800. So currently early founders receive 150,000 level 1 coins for roughly $800. This equates to 12,500 per $100. So Tier one is 12,500 LV1, Tier two is 62,500 LV1, and Tier three is 125,000 LV1.
As you can see, Kickstarter founders will be paying $200 more than the cost of one BTC and still receive 25,000 LV1 less.
The absolute most Level 1 coin that anyone can own at launch is 150,000.
LevelCoin, will you be releasing the software on Feb1st as well as the coins?
Yes. It will be released to all early founders in which they will have exclusive access to help me beta test it for two weeks.They can also opt to go directly to the main-net and start generating real world currency, though this is not recommended.
