Agate is a great project with a lot of work already done behind them and app already in beta, though from what I was able to see it is Android.Do you have any iOS app already?

We developed both User and Merchant Apps for both Android and IOS platform however as you might know due to new Apple policy they won't any blockchain project/ICO app to be release on App store hence our strategy is to keep developing IOS as well and once we switch to main-net and got all approval speak with Apple to officially release our APP.


I'm not familiar with this Apple's policy, does that mean that most developers will give up developing iOS apps and focus on Android?

Why to even go with IOS then if there are such complications?

We were in middle of IOS development when unfortunately Apple changed their policy , BUT we keep developing the IOS app just in case if they changed their policy so we publish it shortly.

I thought iOS is only blocking mining apps from their store.So they are blocking all crypto related ones?
it's not that clear what are their criteria in particular but mining + any app  with crypto wallet + ICO + Exchange.

here is full refrence


https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#goods-and-services

2.4.2 Design your app to use power efficiently. Apps should not rapidly drain battery, generate excessive heat, or put unnecessary strain on device resources. Apps, including any third party advertisements displayed within them, may not run unrelated background processes, such as cryptocurrency mining.


3.1.5 (b) Cryptocurrencies:
(i) Wallets: Apps may facilitate virtual currency storage, provided they are offered by developers enrolled as an organization.
(ii) Mining: Apps may not mine for cryptocurrencies unless the processing is performed off device (e.g. cloud-based mining).
(iii) Exchanges: Apps may facilitate transactions or transmissions of cryptocurrency on an approved exchange, provided they are offered by the exchange itself.
(iv) Initial Coin Offerings: Apps facilitating Initial Coin Offerings (“ICOs”), cryptocurrency futures trading, and other crypto-securities or quasi-securities trading must come from established banks, securities firms, futures commission merchants (“FCM”), or other approved financial institutions and must comply with all applicable law.
(v) Cryptocurrency apps may not offer currency for completing tasks, such as downloading other apps, encouraging other users to download, posting to social networks, etc.

What is the minimum to invest in the project?

for private sale $50,000 USD but for pre-sale and public sale only $60

Is the private sale bonus fixed,or it depends on the amount invested?
lets discuss Private regarding Private sale Wink please fill this google form and will contact you soon. >> https://[Suspicious link removed]/jrdeSu


Do we have to go trough any special procedures for private sale,like AML?

There is a KYC process in place for order bigger than $7500 USD include private sale which is minimum $50,000 USD

Ok,so there is no AML at all ,right,no matter how much someone invest?

Can someone explain what AML stands for?  Roll Eyes

Sure, anti-money laundering (AML) is a term mainly used in the financial and legal industries to describe the legal controls that require financial institutions and other regulated entities to prevent, detect, and report money laundering activities.

Most problems with crypto actually come from lack of regulations.

We are glad and proud that our companies are base in Singapore and Australia where Crypto currencies are very well regulated.

looks cool. Tell me, do you have a bounty campaign? as I see while the activity in the branch is not very high, and the project is worthy

Thanks for consideration and cleaver question,
The main reason is for our participant's privacy we won't use publicly share google doc, instead we are using one of the most advance token sale platform where user can directly claim their coin >>
also unlike other project which only have one bounty campaign, we would have a dynamic bounty/airdrop campaign as per user's feedback and that's why we call it Agate bounty v1.0  (in fact by next week we will announce V2.0) in few different language with different tasks. please make sure you follow our social media and blog post.

Well paypal is f****** me over with their restrictions on crypto so I am all on this project.

I agree, paypal has just tampered with things lately so I'm glad things are moving in this direction Cheesy

It is a matter of evolution of things according to crypto and this means payment platforms as well.

Interesting project - in which phase is it now? pre-ICO or ICO?

I think its ICO....


We are still in Private sale stage, here is all dates

PRIVATE SALE 25 May 2018 to 20 AUG 2018
*************
PRE-SALES STAGE 1 | 21 AUG 2018 - 31 AUG 2018 | 25% DISCOUNT
PRE-SALES STAGE 2| 1 SEP 2018 - 11 SEP 2018 | 20% DISCOUNT|
PRE-SALES STAGE 3 | 12 SEP 2018 - 22 SEP 2018 | 15% DISCOUNT
PRE-SALES STAGE 4 | 23 SEP 2018 - 3 OCT 2018 | 10% DISCOUNT
PRE-SALES STAGE 5 | 4 OCT 2018 - 14 OCT 2018 | 5% DISCOUNT
**************
PUBLIC SALES | 15 OCT 2018 - 15 NOV 2018 | NO DISCOUNT

Aha so the public sale starts in October. so you still have a lot of time to raise funds.


Pre-sales stages are also PUBLIC and everyone can contribute with minimum of $60.

Thanks for the information. so it is not a private sale - just a pre-phase to the general ICO sale.



That's right , the only PRIVATE sale period is "PRIVATE SALE 25 May 2018 to 20 AUG 2018" which has a minimum of $50k USD

Hmmm that's a lot of money, maybe too much for a lot of people.

Do you build a centralized crypto PayPal or will it be decentralized and smart contract driven? That is what's going to happen anyway. If this is a fully centralized service I don't see it's longterm viability. Could you talk about your plans in that regard?

What will be the main AGATE  source of revenue?

Currently there are 10 direct utilisation for Agate and in-direct potential  in enormous because as an platform or blockchain protocol thousands of developers and business can use Agate to generate their own tokens and run their very own crypto economy on Agate,
here I copied 10 direct utilisation from WP:

------
Unlike most newly generated tokens of ICOs in blockchain apps or software with no or only one income stream, one of the value propositions of the AGT token is that it has several revenue streams to ensure our token holders have a solid, continuous value-added token. While we always work to add as many as possible new strong income streams for AGT token, here are some examples for the current Agate token:

1.   All exchange orders between different cryptocurrencies have a fixed cost of 1.00 AGT
2.   Any trades by Agate Trade Bot at the time of execution would cost 1.00 AGT
3.   Although exchanging cryptocurrency to any iFiat token is free, if users want to load their cards or request bank transfers, Agate will charge them an equivalent of 1% of the transferred order in AGT token.
 
Code:
Example: Tim wants to transfer $500 worth of BTC to his card. He exchanged 1 BTC on the best exchange rate (1 BTC = 10,000 iUSD), and his iBucket would charge iUSD 500 (no additional exchange or transfer fee) in the next step; he wants to load $500 to his card.
As 1 AGT ~ $0.079 and 1% of $500 is $5, he needs 63.291139 AGT to authorise this order; so let’s say the value of AGT token increases by 10X, and each token is worth $0.79; to do so, he needs 6.329113 AGT to do the same, so it’s always better to buy and keep more AGT token to save more on Agate fees.

4.   In order to bootstrap the Agate iFiat ecosystem while there is no transaction fee to buy any item inside Agate iFiat Ecosystem, for example, customers can go to any Agate Merchant, either in store or online, and pay 100 iUSD to buy some things, and merchants will receive the exact 100 iUSD, which they can use to pay to their suppliers who are also in this ecosystem, or they may prefer to cash out their funds to their cards or bank accounts. This is when we charge them the equivalent of 1% of a withdrawal fee in AGT token (similar to when users load their cards).
5.   Ordering cards, POS terminals, printing paper rolls or any physical merchant’s accessories can be paid by AGT tokens; this would immediately add value to the tokens.
6.   Agate Token Generator, as described in its section, allows everyone to create their own customised tokens. To do this, they should pay a one-off fee of 50 AGT. This can be done through Agate Token Generator GUI or Agate API Suite.

7.   Any transaction, either inside iFiat Ecosystem or when businesses or developers create their own tokens, should be paid by AGT coin (like gas in Ethereum) which is 0.01 AGT.

8.   Once we switch to Agate’s main net from our existing test net, all AGT coins would be minable, and as we use the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) method in our blockchain, and miners needs to buy a minimum of 50,000 AGT coins or create a public mining pool in order to start mining, this also would highly increase the demand for AGT coin.

9.   Once our smart contract implementation is finished, in order to execute it in Agate, blockchain users need to pay in AGT coin.

10.   B2B income, by having a comprehensive API suite, the whole suite can be used as white-label platform for those, first, who have their own customers and want to avoid banking fees (e.g., big supermarkets or petrol station chains) or companies who have their own customer acquisition methods and go to market strategy or enterprises who want to integrate Agate with their existing environment and application or even ERP. While they can generate their own iFiat tokens to make sure there is no other token issuer, all operations inside Agate blockchain would work only with AGT token, and also they should buy a API call package for each request as in the pricing table below plus 50 AGT tokens for initial account setup fee, which we will waive for the first 50 companies to get the ball rolling!


Sounds complicated but its good info.

So it should be, that how we know they are serious  Wink

Complicated does not means it's good per se Grin Int his case though if you take your time you can see it's not that complicated and that it's really well structured.

Great bonus structure i must say,i like to see ICOs offering lower bonuses lately.

Bonus is good enough to attract early investors and give them some kind of advantage over those that will invest later one,but not too big,in order to cause possible dumps,or discourage those who want to invest at later stages.

It's a fair bonus distribution, not to big and not to small. Bonuses are a tricky thing to calculate. I have seen projects go down just because of that.

Best to keep it tight with bonuses and not give too much, precisely because of things you guys mentioned, it ruin projects from the get go.AGATE has a great bonus structure , finely tuned from my point of view.
