Thank you, for your compliment, I think you and I have followed similar coins in the past as I recognize your name
Digital Commerce has a strong focus on investors and very aggressive approach to real world adoption. I will not put down any other coin, I was a part of XBC for the first couple weeks until DCM took too much of my time to complete.
dCom will be funded properly with the IPO proceeds. Also, our team is hand-picked to include experienced professionals. I'll be honest the multi-vendor support we are delivering is VERY expensive.
In all honestly, we're similar, but have a better starting position due to funding and the fact that we have a working wallet and a completely full time team.
My contacts in crypto and online retail are going to help play a key role to our success, the old saying "it's not what you know it's who you know", applies heavily here.
As for the anon we will be releasing a statement regarding our talks with several security and cryptography experts. What we see as "anon"" now inherently is still centralized and we will detail this further in the future.
The IPO funds will be held until wallet launch etc. It would be too much to ask Bill at Bittrex every time one of us needed to fund a service for our community so please understand that aspect is just not feasible.
Our OP has this information regarding buy support which will come in the form of our multipool as well as using a portion of the IPO funds to support it. We've seen this method used with other coins in the past and realistically there is no way to completely protect any of us from the malicious tactics some traders use in crypto, this does not mean we won't try though.
Thanks for the reply. You sort of sidestepped a couple of questions though...
What percentage of the ipo funds will go towards the developers, and how much will be put towards the coin itself?
Will you be willing to use ipo money to buy votes on MP/Cryptsy? Substantial votes, I mean.
And I take it by the lack of a response, that a buy wall after the coin hits the market won't be considered? I simply mean a buy wall where the devs are willing to buy back a certain amount of coins at ipo prices, in case things turn sour quickly. It's a bit of a safety net for investors.
Can you name any of these vendors you have an 'in' with? I do feel merchant acceptance is very important for cryptos, but at the same time it may not be as important to many here as we would like to think. The coin with the best marketplace (overlooking btc) is probably Noble Coin. You can get Amazon/NewEgg gift cards, you can order physical items, and soon even gold/silver. Yet most people probably overlook it completely, and it certainly hasn't helped the coin's price much (at least as of yet).
I don't think he was side stepping, just real busy. The dev team is taking none of the IPO funds for themselves (other then small operating costs incurred, web hosting, domains, ect), all the funds raised will go directly into furthering the coin. The funds will be used for vendor adoption, marketing, new innovation, promotion, ect ect ect.
At this point we don't believe we'll need to buy votes to get on an exchange. This team has many friends and I'm sure we'll make it to them organically. If you look into the IPO, were on track to sell over 300 BTC if we had an infinite amount of DCM, which we don't. Just a sell out will create the buzz needed to gain a spot on some of the majors.
As for the buy support, we are putting a portion of the IPO funds aside for that purpose, although I don't believe we'll need to use that much as we'll be mining at the MP which will drive up the price, but we will have BTC to help if needed.
In regards to the vendors, we already have a few lined up. All this information will be released shortly. I personally like how Noble has gained merchant adoption and we hope to attain the same success in the respect. Our marketplace will also help on that aspect of vendor adoption. Also, our team is superstar packed with connections made along the years.
Hope this answers all your questions.
