Hi, exciting times and exciting project. Can you please clarify a few things before I invest:
I was planning to invest BTC in SPC as Space is something I am excited about, but I could not find any information regarding a few queries. Can you please help me make my decisions quick.
1. Out of the total supply of 1,000,000,000 SPC only 514,991,707 SPC is in circulation. Where is the remaining 485,008,293 SPC held and by whom??
2. The average lifespan of a LEO satellite is approximately 5 years, and the bandwidth speed of LEO satellite is bad, how can you host data intensive applications if bandwidth is low? Do you have a plan to replace the existing satellites after their lifespan ends?
3. Can you update with what happened to the ETH that was collected in private sale? Can we know how much has been spent and how it has been used so far, almost all big projects are clear about this. There are projects who just take money and then do cash burn after raising money, I hope SpaceChain is doing great things, because space business needs lots of money.
4. Who are the Engineers working on the project? The website talks about only 3 team members, CEO,CTO, CMO.
5. Does SpaceChain Foundation hold any tokens? Is there a blockchain address where it can be tracked?
6. What was the private sale price and IEO Price?
7. Does CTO Jeff Garzik have any experience with the Space Industry? Or is there another Space Engineer/Scientist who has expertise in Space Industry and JGarzik just helps with Blockchain?
Hi, Sorry for the delay. Here are the answers to your questions...
1. Out of the total supply of 1,000,000,000 SPC only 514,991,707 SPC is in circulation. Where is the remaining 485,008,293 SPC held and by whom??
The remaining tokens are kept by SpaceChain for various needs including future reserves, key partners, talent acquisition, and building space and blockchain ecosystem.
2. The average lifespan of a LEO satellite is approximately 5 years, and the bandwidth speed of LEO satellite is bad, how can you host data intensive applications if bandwidth is low? Do you have a plan to replace the existing satellites after their lifespan ends?
We are working on it. There are many existing LEO-GEO connection solutions that can potentially solve the bandwidth and frequency issue, but we are at an early stage of development.
3. Can you update with what happened to the ETH that was collected in private sale? Can we know how much has been spent and how it has been used so far, almost all big projects are clear about this. There are projects who just take money and then do cash burn after raising money, I hope SpaceChain is doing great things, because space business needs lots of money.
The ETH that was collected is used for funding our business operations. We are well aware that a space business requires significant funding.
4. Who are the Engineers working on the project? The website talks about only 3 team members, CEO, CTO, CMO.
We have more than 20 people working on our project and another 20 engineers who are contributing to the development of SpaceChain’s hardware and software.
5. Does SpaceChain Foundation hold any tokens? Is there a blockchain address where it can be tracked?
The Foundation holds the remaining 485,008,293 SPC.
6. What was the private sale price and IEO Price?
We cannot disclose the private sale price as we have non-disclosure agreements with the investors who took part.
7. Does CTO Jeff Garzik have any experience with the Space Industry? Or is there another Space Engineer/Scientist who has expertise in Space Industry and JGarzik just helps with Blockchain?
Jeff Garzik has been an integral part of the initial SPC design in regards to satellite payloads and architecture of SpaceChain OS. Additionally, he also provided the foundational architecture for the decentralized space constellation and the “data center in space” API and architecture. He has experience with the space and blockchain industry. But we also have a lead engineer who has expertise in space industry as well as advisors who are experts in the aerospace field.
