what is about karma token
this mean lotos token can swap karma token

We are not affiliated with any previous tokens. Ours is Karma Tokens (KRM) and is brand new and can not be swapped with other coins.

Interesting concept but nobody in my country will pay monthly subscription because in my country people can go temple for free or donate some for maintenance the temple.

Which country are you in? We think this is a good platform for temples in countries like yours to reach a Western audience who are more keen on paying subscriptions.

Decentralized Spiritual Community this is new thing for me how people will guidance through smart contract.

Yes, we like to think the smart contract forms the essence of a person's beliefs. For example, the smart contract is responsible for claims of attainment. This is very interesting to me as well thanks for the feedback.

Too many new projects are still to be observed. Will there be any air release activities open?


In my understanding, an airdrop is simply giving out tokens to those who want them, is that right? Could you tell me what advantage this might bring to an organization like ours? Currently, we have no plans to airdrop, but we can consider it providing good arguments in its favor.

Oh lotos, what's it language? In English it name: Lotus

We are an English speaking team, however, the name is derived from the Ancient Greek word for the lotus flower - lōtos.  Smiley

Centralized religions are failing

how can you say that? that is totally stuff and nonsense

This quote is from our InfoDeck:

Quote
Religiously unaffiliated people sometimes called the "nones" account for 16% of the world's population, and they make up the largest "religious group" in seven countries and territories. Perhaps more remarkably, they also are the second-largest group in roughly half (48%) of the worlds nations.

Also, this article explains why atheism is set to overtake centralized religion by 2038.

Well it is original, but I am not sure if this project will work. I does not seem so attractive.

Thank you for your feedback Elkmar! It would help me quite a bit if you could tell me why it's not so attractive to you. Do you think we are not communicating value to contributors well?

WHY LOTOS

Centralized religions are failing (atheism is set to defeat them by 2038), but we believe the future is bright for decentralized religions.
So we are building a complete Buddhist ecosystem on the Ethereum blockchain — the world's first decentralized religion!

If you are interested, please flip through the Lotos Network InfoDeck (2 min)

Decentralized Religion Solves:

  • Scientific efficacy (data collection)
  • Incentivization (tangible collectibles)
  • Accessibility (cloud matchmaking)
  • Corruption (transparent transactions)


HOW IT WORKS

1. A tablet app connects students and teachers which anyone can use.
2. Students pay a monthly subscription in fiat.
3. This subscription automatically buys ERC20 Karma Tokens on a public exchange (from you, the contributor).
4. The student pays teachers in Karma for classes
5. Students can recover up to half of their subscription fee by meditating (Proof of Meditation)

Some Interesting Bits:

  • The number of users correlates to the value of the tokens, incentivizing all users to grow the network.
  • We will create a IBM Watson AI Chatbot called "BuddhaBrain" with data we collect on the network.
  • Our team will not have access to any contributions until we reach 10,000 paid subscribers (we will program this into the smart contract).
  • Meditation is a big business - Headspace meditation app has 400,000 paid subscribers and is worth $250 million
  • And much more!

To dig deeper, please read the Lotos Whitepaper.


ANNOUNCEMENT

This thread is the first public mention of our project, and the first release of our whitepaper.

We will launch our pre-sale on July 26th 2017, to coincide with the festival of Gyre Maitreya (dedicated to the coming to earth of Maitreya — the Buddha of the Future global period.)
