SOCIFI is a very serious project. Will it be possible to buy a variety of goods on the SOCIFI marketplace - smartphones, iPhones and so on - for GIF tokens?
Yes, that is the intention. The goods and services offered will depend on the sponsors who would be the ones paying for the GIF that is then distributed to the users of the marketplace. The Android app is practically ready as first stage of our project is focused on areas with prevalence of Android users. The iOS app will get in development some time around the ICO is over.
Will the Android app be launched straight after the ICO already with all built in functionality? And which specific areas will you be focussing on first? I can understand the need for free data might be higher in certain regions.
Hello, the app will begin beta testing Q2 2018 and will start getting deployed after. Yes some areas are in bigger need of our services than others. Our first stage is focused on Africa and second on America. In Africa in many places data might be "cheap" but they are cheap to us from developed countries, but locals often cannot afford it, thus our solution with sponsored data. In US and Canada on the other hand data really is expensive and although some can afford it, others would surely prefer a free version, especially teenagers or anyone to whom it is a luxury or simply prefer not to pay so much for internet.
