The world is going free Wi-Fi everywhere. I don't think anyone will pay for that, even not in WiC.
But good luck with it Smiley

Lol, did you open up a newbie account just to say that??

No, I did it for an other reason.
But, is your money, if you want to spend it on this coin, just do it.
I'll just pass it, since I see a lot of free WI-Fi networks around, and if some of them are password protected there is a good reason for that!

Hey, good question. We take security seriously and you can be assured that your privacy is protected. You only share your password and we do not collect any other personal information from you. Think of it like you would rent your wifi to someone in need for cash, its the same except this is just much more convenient and easy and you need not be face to face with the other person.

ONLY password? It's enough for skilled hacker to take control over my network traffic. No need to be face to face? That will only encourage that person to do nasty stuff on my wi-fi network

Hey, well that is a risk involved with all Wi-Fi networks since any network can be compromised and is not 100% safe. That being said the networks you connect to via the app are much more secure than any open networks because the password adds a layer of security. Also, most people do not send sensitive information over untrusted networks if that is important to them. Unfortunately, this is a problem with WiFi technology in general and not WiC in particular. For example, you would often here on the news that even secure government networks are compromised sometimes.


Why make it easier for them by giving away my wi-fi password then?  


Hey, it is not that easy for anyone to takeover your network. This is possible though but its got nothing to do with CryptoWi or WiC and is a problem with Wi-Fi technology in itself. Even if you do not use the app, your network can still be hacked since everything online is imminently hack-able. That said, there is no practical incentive for someone to hack your network and do nasty things since it will be much easier for him/her to just use some free WiFi network from Starbucks or McDonalds or somewhere.

Giving your password is a way to earn WiC by opting to rent your WiFi voluntarily. If you are not comfortable with that, you could just use the app to rent WiFi from other people. It is not mandatory to upload your passwords.

Hi, so how do I actually receive coins on ICO after I used escrow? Do I need to install some wallet (I'm on OSX)?


Hey, yes so after you invest you have to wait till the ICO is over and WiC is launched.
We will be releasing MacOSX, Windows and Linux wallets, so you will just need to download it and send us your WiC address to claim the coins.
Alternatively, 2 exchanges have committed on adding us on launch and you can use the WiC address there to claim your coins.

Dev, where are you & your team based? Do you have a registered company?

Where do you plan to first implement & test the project?

Hey, we are based in the US and no we don't have a registered company yet. The app will be made available worldwide at launch.

Nice idea but dunno if this going work.
There are a lot of places were wifi is free so why should people purchase those wifi coins for paying for wifi?





Hey, well yes there are a lot of places with free WiFi available but to be fair there are a lot of places (and countries) that don't and our app will really come in handy there. Many a times people are in situations where they urgently need to use the internet and there is either no free WiFi nearby or you don't have the time to look for one; CryptoWi can be extremely useful to such people.

so you rent your wifi...

meaning if you're technically competent, you could be snooping on what other people are doing.

interesting....

Rent my wIFI let others go online. Will it leak privacy? Security is a problem.

Crypto Way is the only Way!

Think about it, what if you are in no wi-fi area and you badly need wi-fi?
WiC app can be very handy.
And you can make money by renting the wi-fi.
It is something new. You better not miss the 30% bonus in first ICO day.
