I think you have found great way to bring ordinary people to cryptos. By using mobile operators it will be much easier to buy and trade crypto currencies.

So say this really does hit the jackpot and gets 200m users in the first 3 months. How do you think your team can scale? Does the tech make it automated enough that you could scale that fast without having to hire an absurd amount of people to keep up?

How do you plan to get the word out about Telcoin? Will Telco's be able to help in this regard?
If they were to somehow explain to their customers how Telcoin works, you guys would get a ton of interest I think. Is this a possibility?
We are currently in discussion with 6+ telco's at the moment for POC/pilot agreements. Of course once these are officially publicized, then i'm sure the telco's and the media will talk about this.
Any timeframe on when this could be? Sorry to be so inquisitive, but I have super high expectations for this.
Well we already have agreements with Etisalat, Veon Group, and MTN Group that should be initiating Q1-Q2 next year. The rest we should have some BIG news by end of Jan.
That's awesome, how big are these companies? Are we talking about 1m+ customers between those 4?
Between the three (3) of them there are about 400M subscribers
Holy... These guys are legitimate giants then, this is incredible. I can't believe I was lucky enough to find an actually legitimately huge coin in time for the pre-ico.
lol yea we are very proud that they are on board. We have some huge meetings coming up here in Jan that would further that number.
I'm surprised there's not more excitement around this project after learning about this. 400m people are very likely to use this coin. I don't doubt you will hit your cap, regardless.
Do you guys feel like you're getting an appropriate level of attention? Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.

How much of your budget will be spent on marketing in the first year?
December 17, 2017, 03:12:46 PM
Are you guys actively pursuing any partnerships?
Or are the Telco's considered partners?
Its all about the Telco's my friend!!!
That's what I'm discovering when it comes to this. Thanks.

What is the minimum amount you need to implement your project?
Our softcap is $10M.
I think he means, what is the smallest amount a person can invest with? Is there a minimum? I've seen some set at $1,000.
Ahhhh! Yes, the minimum for now is 0.3ETH - 0.05BTC - $5k Fiat
That's not so bad. I can still get in on that.
Please do! Just have to go to our ICO page www.telco.in/ico and get whitelisted
Everyone has to be whitelisted to participate?
Or are there just special benefits if you do?

As a new bie in cryptos this will be my first outing on ico. still trying to grasp the details of the white paper. Joined the telegram group and already received mail confirming that Ive been whitelisted. Trying to get my acts together before putting my funds in a couple of days. Hoping i won't be disappointed my first.
You picked a hell of a lot better one to start with than I did for my first... lol

I'm curious how your team tracks trends when it comes to this space. I want to know where you guys get your information since you seem to be on the cutting edge?
This is a good question. I think a team is only as good as it's ability to stay up to date.
Agreed! We are very close with other established companies in the space (OmiseGo, TenX, etc) that we speak with and always share information. We are fortunate to have our advisors actively speaking with us and discussing what we are doing and what they are hearing. Moreover, Paul always has his finger on the pulse of the Telco market as his connections are always within arms reach.
Ah can't forget Shimo! Our lead dev is a rockstar and is highly rated on github.
That's awesome. I'll have to checkout what else he's worked on.
Please do!!! He's very highly rated on GitHub
You weren't kidding, this guy has some serious programming prowess. How'd you hear about him?
We were lucky enough to already know Shimo and he's been with us since the start. He's seriously a badass, wicked talented. Claude (our CEO) is a programmer himself and helped TenX when they were getting started, but even he wanted, as he said it, "the best". That's why we brought Shimo in.
He sounds like a very good guy to have around.

How did u get to that number of 400 million people that will use this coin?Thank you.
December 16, 2017, 05:29:37 PM
Impressive idea, and the team looks legit. I'll do some more research but this looks like the next moon mission.

Would you say you have made any mistakes when it comes to Telcoin that you have learned from?
Holy Hell, lol, so many! That's the beauty of starting a company in such a new space. As with any startup if you make a mistake, you learn, iterate, and innovate.
A lot of the things we've learned are based around Organizational Behavior, interacting with such a diverse community (interest levels, knowledge, talent, cultures, etc), how to explain the tech/concept/business model in the vernacular of said communities, cross-functional work, and more.
Its startup life. We've identified a problem/pain-point and we created a solution we feel addresses that. Everyone is doing everything and we are all driven to make this a success for not only ourselves but for those contributing, the telcos, and the people in developing countries that will have access to crypto.
Good answer, thanks a lot. The way you put it is so relatable too. I guess there's plenty of room for errors when you're the only one competing though lol
Always room for errors its just about how you rebound and learn from them. We are still making errors but that is all a part of the process. Being a philly guy myself you always have to #TrustTheProcess
Very true about learning from mistakes. As long as you aren't making the same ones repeatedly, you're bound to succeed eventually. Also, go Eagles!

Great AMA! I really hope this project takes off. Leveraging the telecoms user base is YUUUGGGEEE (Trump voice) while disrupting Western Union/Money Gram for remittance pay is enough reason for me support this project.
lol yes, western union is insane and we plan to disrupt them. Glad you enjoyed the AMA!
