Topic: [ANN][POW/POS] BAKD | Crypto Crowdfunding & Professional Networking | BAKD.io - page 2. (Read 1195 times)

Updated website lander is live  (bakd.io), still optimizing and tweaking a few things -- but far better than the original one. Nothing fancy, just a landing page. Most of our effort from this point forward will be going into the docs, features, specs, and the alpha.

I'm giving the infographics one last text/copy update quickly right now, and then those will be deployed as well (if I don't fall asleep at my desk that is, getting late).

Make sure to check em out!

Just an FYI, our Telegram link was originally pointing to a channel (subscribers couldn't post) -- so I've gone ahead and fixed that.

Should now point to our new group for BAKD. Hope you guys can all join and show your support for what we're trying to do here.

Thanks!

Quick update, contracts are officially signed with Suyoga and Franklin, and soon we'll be announcing who will be taking over as CEO so I can focus on development. I'll be moving to the role of CTO.

Hoping to have the new landing pages done by the end of today, along with the updated docs.

The landing page and infographic designs are coming along beautifully, can't wait to release them. The designers were so eager to get going that they started early, over the weekend.

Side note, have been working with our new CEO to nail down the initial protocol and app specs so we can release them ASAP for you guys, not much longer.

That's about it for now. Keep following along, tentative release date for the alpha web app is Sept 22nd, 2018.

Thanks Fionoa, appreciate it.

Sorry for the lack of updates today, wasnt feeling well.

Wanted to clarify one thing that has been asked by new teammates.

I'm based in the US, the company itself will not be. For obvious legal reasons.

The more I read about agate it looks like a potentially one of the greatest projects!

Everybody welcome Suyoga P., and Franklin C. to the BAKD team!

Suyoga is a freelance graphic designer with close to 200 public 5 star reviews, and Franklin is a design school graduate specializing in infographics. They'll be helping us to make the BAKD Website & Application Ecosystem and Marketing Material look top notch!

More information to come tomorrow, we'll be updating the team section with new profile photos and bios in the current docs, as well as announcing another new team member!

Glad you're excited Tominobo, we are too!

Give it a week or two. You'll really be excited when you see what we have in store for you guys.

Side Note:

After discussing potential marketing deals with various members of the forum, it's pretty clear that we're going to need to do some kind of small pre-sale to gather enough funds for the first 2-3 months of runway. Most would like a small amount of BTC upfront to get started, along with equity, which is understandable. But just not feasible at this point in time, especially with me covering the cost of development for the foreseeable future.

That said, If anyone is experienced with (small) pre-sales and is interested in helping out running it, drop me a line at [email protected]

Thanks guys!

Excellent! This project opens a new door to the future! This really will improve the economic composition of trading platforms!

Few quick project updates for today:

We've made another pretty major addition to the BAKD team today, we'll be announcing and updating the team sections tomorrow, along with the release of updated docs and a few more brand new docs!

Development of the official landing pages for BAKD.io / BAKD.me / BAKD.info begins tomorrow.

As soon as those static sites are up and good to go, the real development begins!

Quick update on future document releases... Docs will no long contain version info in the filename itself.

Only the document type, and the language it is written in.

Version info, as well as last edit dates will be added to the front page of each official BAKD document.

For example:

for the English version of the BAKD onepager
https://bakd.io/docs/onepager-eng.pdf

likewise, for the English roadmap
https://bakd.io/docs/roadmap-eng.pdf

Only major revisions to these documents will be announced from now on. There will be minor updates coming frequently for each doc, so make sure to check back often.

---

Next, if anyone is interested, we need help with translating these. Will be setting up bounties for this shortly. Would like to translate all of our docs into as many languages as possible.

Thanks!

Hi Kevala,

At this point, I'm doing everything possible to try and avoid an ICO. Researching other avenues of funding, considering running BAKD as the first actual BAKD crowdfunding campaign when I get the alpha running, or even just continuing my daytime programming job until we launch.

If I can't continue to fund things on my own, or find a small investment -- a small pre-sale or ICO may be unavoidable. Who knows, we'll see.

Hey there. At what date does the ICO of this platform start?

Official BAKD Onepager (Version 0.0.1a) Released: https://bakd.io/docs/onepager-eng.pdf

Official Text Version of the BAKD Roadmap (Alpha Version 0.0.1a) has been released!

Download it here: https://bakd.io/docs/BAKD-2018-Roadmap-v0-0-1a.pdf

Hey Guys,

Interviewing new team members ran a bit longer than I had hoped yesterday, but still managed to get the text versions of the roadmap and one pager complete.

Graphic versions are being finalized now, and we'll be releasing them shortly.

(Also fyi, we have zero affiliation with Bakkt, nor have we ever claimed to. Aside from the similar names -- which itself is just a coincidence -- completely different ideas and platforms.)

Quick update on the logo contest... after 3 days and 170+ entries, we finally have a winner -- hope you guys like it!



We're also in the process of bringing at least 2, possibly 3+ of the designers who entered the contest on board. Some part time, others full time. Pretty exciting.

Current project priorities for today are:

- Finish interviewing and bringing designers onboard
- Finish and release the first version of the roadmap
- Finish and release the first version of the onepager
- Finish and release the feature list for the main application, the social networking application, and the token itself

General priorities for the next few days:

- Finish all paperwork (most importantly the whitepaper)
- Finish all website landers
- Fully spec out all proposed applications/systems
- Onboard at least 1-2 (preferably several) more developers for the main application, networking application, and token
- Onboard at least 1 legal advisor
- Onboard at least 1 crypto/blockchain advisor
- Onboard a project manager who can deal with interviewing, paperwork, and general business tasks that I would much rather delegate.
- Start to onboard at minimum 5-10 well known, respected mentors for the alpha launch

Tons more to do, but this is a quick look into the current progress and next steps for BAKD.

Excellent question, working on alpha versions of each as we speak, should be done by tomorrow night.
