The team information is at the bottom of the homepage. Product details are found in the Platform / Technology section of the site.


Where is the team? A strange company. The site is made beautiful but in a hurry. With information about developers and product. It looks like a divorce.

Hi there!

That's correct, any unsold STK tokens will be burned.



Hi STK,
What will happen to any unsold tokens once the ICO finishes? Will they be burnt?
Thanks

Agree this one is different. They also have a way to make payment in real time using state channel off chain. Pretty cool.. read the whitepaper. Watching this one!

This project is so redundant and actually does not bring anything novel or innovative to the community. Could be disappear well before it gets alive. Perhaps no one will use such thing to pay.
How so? I know there are projects experimenting with plastic debit cards, but this is going a step further and proposing doing payments straight from your phone. Is that part redundant?
Or can you elaborate on why it is redundant?

Thanks

Hi there!

The first implementation of the STK token will be within the STACK app, a mobile wallet app which is currently in private beta and will launch in Canada later this year, followed by a U.S. roll out in Q1 of 2018. Capital raised from the STK Token Generation Event will enable a swift expansion into international markets later next year. The more capital we raise, the faster we can build and deliver our product!


What countries this project will work?

Hi there! There is a presale from October 11-24. You can find details on our bonus structure here:
https://stktoken.com/register-for-presale.html

The funds we raise will be invested directly into the development and public launch of the solution.  The more capital we raise, the faster we can build and deliver our product.  It also has a direct implication to the number of users we can initially onboard since we will set aside a fiat liquidity pool in order to settle transactions instantly with the merchants accepting the payments.

I hope that answers your questions!

Will any bonuses be available for investors? Is there a presale?
And the main questions - why is the hard cap is so huge?

You need 100 mln hard cap and only 1 mln soft cap. Why you need so big hard cap?

Adliem -

Here's an insightful review of STK: https://steemit.com/stack/@kriptonoob/is-this-next-big-thing-stack-global-payments-crypto-fiat-hybrid-solution

I'm looking pretty closely at this. I like the enormity of the market.

Keen to see some competitive analysis - if anyone has looked closely at Ten X, Monaco, Metal.

Not sure how attractive it will be from a customer's point of view. Yes it will appeal to the cryptos, but will it appeal to everyday bankers? Is the success dependent on adoption by everyday bankers? The company say a great UX will help it attract customers, and undoubtedly it will, but how does this compare to the security offered by the major banks?

Thanks Dubstar. It's a helpful review. I guess I'm keen to hear people's personal views. Would you use it? Would you use it in addition to your 'normal' bank or would you use it as a substitute?

I'm from Australia so it's a different banking system. Our fees are pretty low and the banks' Apps are finally getting better.

Clearly the Stack App will appeal to cryptos, who can now use cryptocurrencies in everyday transactions. Just trying to work out whether non-cryptos will be drawn to it - it's clearly a much larger market.

Hi Adliem,

Thanks for your comment, great to hear you're interested! Our STK token will enable instant payments at point of sale, using just your mobile, so you can use cryptocurrency for day-to-day transactions, straight from your smartphone. The idea is to open cryptocurrency up to normal, everyday bankers. Not necessarily instead of local currencies, but as an option or an alternative, where relevant. We want people to have the choice to use it, when and where they want.

Competitors in the space are working towards a card-based solution - we are focused on contactless functionality in addition to a physical card, so you'll be able to make contactless crypto payments using just your mobile. We also have a working prototype, leveraging the STACK app, a fiat-currency financial services app, which is currently in beta and scheduled to launch by the end of the year.

I hope that provides some answers!
