If I invest say, Bitcoin vs ETH is my investment based in USD at the time I sent it, is it based in USD at the time that this ICO is over or is it just based on bitcoins at the end/when the TX is from and you happen to accept other currencies that will be taken into account as a portion of a bitcoin at the end of the ICO (ex. I give 1 ETH and it tanks to 0.06BTC.
I speculate that the USD total will be used at some fixed time after the crowdsale has finished. This seems like the only sensible option that protects the team and does not require storing a lot of metadata.
Building up on Chris's comment and Lauda's speculation. Please clarify the following:
Assuming all altcoin contributions will be converted to BTC in order to process the NVOT distribution and given the volatility of crypto markets in general, please clarify at what particular time (ie. 2017-JUL-01 00:00 UTC) will the contributions be converted to BTC? This is especially important for altcoins contributors. Is it possible to get a consensus among the devs on the matter as it was not included in the whitepaper?
As soon as the crowdsale is closed, we will process the deposits and then convert the coins, except for the low volume coins as they could be dumped, these will be exchanged gradually.
These questions may have been answered before, but I believe these answers should be public knowledge.
How does this platform differ from WAVES and BTS? What advantages/disadvantages does it offer over the aforementioned platforms?
After the Crowdsale and development is done for the coin, how will this platform gain traction (volume) against a large volume exchange like Poloniex?
Thank you for your time.
NVO isn't a blockchain project, NVO wants to use the blockchains and be complementary to them, it aims at supporting the different cryptocurrencies and crypto projects.
NVO will offer a plugin system in order to give the possibility to the different service providers and crypto devs to bridge their projects to NVO and provide support for their project to the NVO users.
The first plugin will be for coinpayments who wants to bridge a payment processor plugin into NVO. It will be one of the volume sources for NVO. It is also possible that Alex the CEO of coinpayments becomes the Marketing manager of NVO as he managed to get 200k users for coinpayments.

Also can this launch BEFORE maidsafe goes live?
I hear maid has had a lot of issues. its making me consider holding off.
If the validator is ready, and SafeNet isn't ready, we will first help them with the development, but if it is still impossible we have though about alternatives like, Radix or a even our own P2P network with our own blockchain using some cryptocurrencies features, it would take about 4 additional months to deliver in this case.
I have checked this project out for days now and i like the idea, however there are some points i need to be clarified.
By owning NVOT I am basically shareholder from an asset exchange. For my investment in the business I receive NOVS as dividends. So far so good.
The problem i see is the legality, by being part time owner or shareholder of an exchange for digital assets which are regulated in almost all countries.
By offering the key function, your site works as an intermediary system, enabling the exchange of multiple coins. In most countries you would therefore operate an unlicensed business and all income/ dividends from said business would be unlawful and punishable by court.
How do you operate the site, where are servers, what security do you plan to not run into problems with FinCEN or other official authorities?
Especially in this case it is even more difficult since it is decentralized. We will receive a fixed payout of 50% of the fees. Therefore it is not even like a dividend in classical meaning....
I hope you can explain how you wanna tackle the legal aspects of operating and investing in your project.
Thanks for the feedback, as i see in your post there is a mix of concepts, let me clarify.
There are no servers, except the API clusters and they are used to provide informations to the wallet users and as a basic support for the plugins who may require it.
The NVOS have been added to the project in order to keep the project legal as its value will be fixed at 0.99$, as any amount sent below 1 usd is considered as a donation or a gift, it won't be NVOT or Bitcoins, it will be a convertible token which will work as a faucet for the owners of NVOT, it will also give more flexibility to the NVOT owners as they will be able to either store the NVOS and exchange them later, or exchange them directly for Bitcoins. It is like asking wether a faucet is legal or not.
I hope that the answer helps you to clarify the different concepts, do not hesitate to ask for more informations.
What would be the first coins included beyond the demo release? Will Monero be included in that first batch of listed coins or will it be integrated later?
I ask because XMR seems to be the coin that is hard to integrate maybe because of its RingCT feature? I know Jaxx had a hard time integrating it, and dropped it from their road map.
The first coins to be implemented will be the NVOT and the coins supported by the crowdsale, then will come the others. We are aware of the difficulties regarding XMR, the plugin system will be handy to include them into the wallet as we will be able to create a customized environment to handle XMR which will ease its integration.
If I invest in ICO when I get NVO coin and when can I be able to sell on exchange?Please reply I do not know much
Once after the crowdsale can expect the coin getting listed to some of the exchange platforms. Mainly this gets started with NVO.IO Exchange. So there won't be any complications In the buying and selling of the NVO coin.
the team will examinate all the possible sollutions regarding exchange listing and will inform all the participants of news regarding this point.
Sorry if this is not useful information, but since I am a newbie, and this will be my first ICO (also my first signature campaign!) I would like to announce that I will participate with 0.01 BTC by end of this week. Yes, it's not much but it is actually my first significant amount earned over many weeks/months.
It's also very new to me to register for a counterparty wallet. I don't know any friends who have done it so it will be a good learning step for me. I'll update in a few days how it goes.
Thanks, welcome and good luck, feel free to share your experience and troubles.
Backing up this crowdsale too. Would love to have a decentralized exchange too.
Hope there's a decentralized trollbox too!!!
Would be a challenge, risks of centralization, but will definitly think about it !

Oh god please, if there is a chat box, it should be very, very separate from the main page haha! I love chatting with others too but not if all I see is spam and the chat moves too quickly to read. AND it shouldn't make my main page laggy!
even if implemented, you won't lag, it won't be centralized.
