Hi there. The crowdfunding and ICO serve two distinct purposes. The crowdfunding acts as price discovery process: through this process, the community decides what Viral is worth. In addition, the crowdfunding process establishes a core group within the Viral community who see clearly where Viral is going, and are motivated to help us build out the network.
The ICO is an opportunity for the community at large and also those from farther afield - those who are not forum regulars, etc - to buy in after having seen what sort of initial interest there has been in Viral. One could say this is a more conservative, 'safer' buying opportunity.
The crowdfund investors are rewarded for their early commitment and their involvement by receiving their Viral at a 30% lower price than the ICO. They also enjoy a range of other benefits, including involvement core discussion processes with Adam and the Viral devs. The first of these online invitation-only meetups with Adam and the devs is scheduled for Thursday evening, 24 hrs after the crowdfund ends. All who have invested in the crowdfund will be invited to participate. More details on this later today.
hola my amigo.. i have contribute already but have a question. After crowdfund ends you will send viral right?
i am wondering when i can buy and sell my viral. i want to know how i can be bigger part of viral to because it is sounding like it can be a big big idea.
Hola!
The crowdfunding ends May 5, 6 pm PST. The Viral wallet will be ready for download immediately following the close of the ICO. BayAreaCoins is overseeing the escrow process these weeks, and is currently in escrow possesion of 2,5 million Viral. He ensures the correct distribution of these Viral at the end of the ICO.
It is quite important that the nick each person uses for arranging BTC address with BayAreaCoins is checked the day after the crowdfunding closes. We will send PMs to each crowdfunder with their personal link to the special crowdfunder-only live meet up with Adam G and the devs the Thursday evening. We'll be posting more info on that later in the day.
thanks
