Dear contributors,
Thank you very much for your support!
The ICO was a huge success for us: we have netted more than half a million dollars! It might not seem like a lot compared to other ICOs, but if we keep in mind that we are a small company and that we didn't have a large marketing budget, it went perfectly for us. We now have enough to extend the team and make progress for half a year minimum.
But the ICO was not the final goal in itself, it's just the beginning. It's a financial cushion we will use to generate other sources of profit using our new projects. Then, as we promised, at the end of each month, starting from January 2018, we will use 50% of our profits to buy RKC off of the open market (driving the price up), and redistribute it between all token holders proportionally (and other 50% of profits reinvested back). Then you decide: either sell the difference or keep it.
Innovation and disruption are not the things we should rush into, so we will need some time to expand the team, organize everything, and start working on the projects. We will be updating you with more news at least once a month, probably on the last day of each month. It does not mean that we will not come up with anything until January - we will have the first awesome updates very soon!
And now, a bit of housekeeping. It's a long list of questions/answers, so you might want to read what you find interesting.
Q: When are you going to enable trading?
A: The trading starts tomorrow, on August 14, at 10:00 PM UTC. Due to the nature of Tomorrow Exchange being experimental, we have decided not to add RKC there just yet, at this stage. Instead, we are going to enable it on VentureKingdom platform itself. Moreover, RKC will appear on Bittrex, and if everything goes well, it will start at the same time as ours.
Q: How do I withdraw RKC to the exchange?
A: At 8:00 PM tomorrow, Deposit and Withdraw buttons in Wallet section for RKC are going to become functional. It works the same way as Bitcoin or Ethereum on our platform, so you will not get lost.
Q: Should I sell RKC or should I hold it? Will RKC price rise?
A: We cannot tell you that, it's your decision. But just in case you are not very familiar with the altcoin trading, it can be fierce. After the ICO some of the people might decide to sell RKC, and the price could dip. Then if other contributors are afraid of what is going on with the price, they might decide to sell too, further lowering the price. This is called "panic sell", and it happened with every coin in the history. Fortunately, it's usually reversed very soon. After it, the coin price is a subject to normal market fluctuations, but if the volume is low, they can look large at first. We do not care about all that, because the value of RKC is not in itself, but in our company's performance, which will result in profits, which will be reflected in the coin price after we pay premiums. So you need to decide: if you want a quick profit and you have bought the coins cheaply - you might sell right now, but if you see the value in RKE and decide to be a long-term holder - it's probably for the best not to worry about the chart until the first premium pack is paid out. Remember - nobody can make you sell RKC for the low price if you don't sell it for such.
Q: I've participated in the bounty program. How do I receive RKC?
A: Thanks for participation! Your RKC balance will be updated tomorrow at 8:00 PM. If you think the amount is invalid or you have any questions about the bounty program, please create a support ticket.
Q: How do premiums work?
A: Unfortunately, Ethereum is a very limited platform regarding functionality. We squeezed out of it everything we could, but an automatic RKC distribution with an unlimited amount of wallets is impossible. We found a way around it though - instead of updating all the wallets at one time, it only updates with the next transaction from the wallet. Example: we have created a premium pack of 1,000 RKC. You have 150,000 RKC in your wallet, which is 1%. Then you are entitled to 10 RKC more (1% of 1,000). But to claim it, you need to create a transaction of any amount of RKC. You can decide to send 1 RKC to a friend, or all 150,000 to the exchange, or just send 1 RKC back to yourself. After the transaction is confirmed, you immediately get 10 RKC more in your wallet. It was the only way to do that in Ethereum properly.
Q: What happens with premiums if my RKC is on the exchange?
A: If your RKC is on the exchange, the exchange will get the premiums instead. Then it will depend on the exchange, whether it will distribute the premiums between users or not. In VentureKingdom, Tomorrow Exchange and in our other products, we will pay premiums automatically. About other exchanges, you would have to ask them. One way around this is to send your RKC to the platform, wait for the premium pack to be added, and then make a withdrawal back to the exchange.
Q: What is redistribution?
A: By redistribution, we mean the proportional redistribution of the tokens that were not sold in the ICO. 2,700,000 coins were in the ICO pool at the beginning, 939,780 were sold. Remaining 1,760,220 RKCs are paid as the first premium pack.
Q: When will redistribution happen?
A: It already happened, inside the smart contract. If you didn't use VentureKingdom to acquire RKC, you just need to make any RKC transaction from your wallet, even to yourself. For VentureKingdom, the balances will be updated tomorrow at 8:00 PM UTC.
