Topic: [ANN][PRE-SALE] MEERKAT - A utility token designed for local merchants (Read 690 times)

Dear shakawaski,

Thank you so much for your kind comment. Actually the ecosystems in the tourism sector are pretty good and efficient. The real problem there is the high fees solution providers are asking for. For example BOOKING is charging up to 30% for every offered accomodation. It is a very high fee but of course accomodation providers enjoy the ease of Booking's user friendly interface.

Our main goal is to offer the same services but for 2% commission instead of the market standard 20-30%.

But this is just the accomodation sector. We have a lot of other services in line you can find on our website and whitepaper.

If you have any question please feel free to ask.

Best,

Meerkat MKT

Dear,

Thank you so much for your comment but I dont see the point to it. We do not use any bump comments. As you can see random newbies are commenting with a few lines just to raise their reputation on the forum. It is a constant problem on BTT. If we would use bump comments then we would have hundreds of fake comment pages. Not 4 pages as we currently stand. So again we have nothing to do with these few fake comments. But it is not even comparable to the 90% of proejct here, where 95% percent of comment pages are fake and bumped for money by the owners of the token.

We dont work that way

We work quietly and not really focusing on these forums, telegram and other stuff. We build a a private investor database instead of dragging random people in intoa a shitty ICO.

Try to keep everybody informed just not here

Thanks again for your headsup

I will advise you to keep this thread clean and don't use any bumping services because is not needed and will only harm your project. Last few posts are already low quality and start to looks bad. Keep up good work OP and post frequent updates and announcements from the team and people will follow There is nothing more precious for an ANN thread as real discussion and involved high-rank members.

Thanks for the heads up. Actually we have been bombarded by ICO listing sites but we dont really realy on them. Most of them would promote any ICO for money. Also they would give you 5 star ratings everywhere if you pay the minimum fee for that rating....

Among many other similar projects, this one I think is the most perspicacious, because the problem of ecosystems is very good now

I am very proud of the performance of this project, good luck until the target is set.

This is good to be listed on this ICO pages for advertising but never pay for such listings because lately a lot of this services started to scam ICOs. They list your ICO and ask for money to change the listing rating to a higher one. This is just insane. Price depends from a service growth if they are big enough then you can await a lot higher fee.

It would be great to see more such short interviews with team.

This very good project is a loss if we don't join in joining this project with development and a reliable team, good luck.

Hello Mania,

Thank you so much for your kind words and understanding. It is a very inconvenient situation for but I saw on toher threads that it seems to be a common problem that community managers use random accounts and they dont care about content at all.

Anyway we are here to take care of our BTT community.

This is very good that you are serious about your ANN thread. I think that a professionally managed ANN thread is the best way to attract serious investors. BTT forum is still used to evaluate ICO's by experienced investors. I have to admit that I check this forum always when i evaluate an ICO.

Wish you luck.

Hi!

Presale starts at 7 PM today!!!

!!!! MAJOR PROJECT UPDATE !!!!

Dear Community,

As Crypto mania pointed out in hes previous comment, our presence on bitcointalk was not too active in the last couple of days, so please accept our apologies and let us inform you about the current state of the project.

Crowdsale:

Starts on the 20th next Monday with 50% off on the first week. We are about to launch the crowdsale under extremely volatile ETH market conditions where both Alts and ETH are in danger of a further selloff as we believe money will keep bleeding to Bitcoin at least for a while. Anyway crowdsale is NOT our main source of income so we can go ahead with it as planned. Looking at market conditions it is likely that we wont be able to reach our initial goal of 400 ETH. However we would like to assure all of our investors that no matter how the crowdsale goes, we will keep working as our company runs independently from crypto. It is to say that a successful crowdfunding would help us a lot with our upcoming travel and even expenses abroad, but fortunately we dont depend on it business operation wise. So again crowdsale starts on the 20Th of August as planned.

Private sale:

This is the main reason why we were not quite active on forums like this. The Private sale start the same day as the Crowdsale and we had a lot of negotions with our Private investors. These are basically the following: Restaurant and bar owners, Hotel and Gostel operators, Local municipality branches for tourism. We spent pretty much the whole last month on negotiations with these partners. Their support is extremely crucial to the project as they are the ones (acceptance points) givig utility to the Token itself. Without the support of relevant tourism organization parties we woukd not have a real life usecase and would fell under securities as a consiquence. Fortunately we have an overall awesome acclaim from these parties. We basically already sold (actual sale start on the 20th) 15% of the 3 Billion Private sale tokens. Around 60% in Hungary and 40% in Spain (at the moment these are the two countries where we have HQs to negotiate phisically). Our PS live events can be found on our Facebook but you may turn on subtitles as those are not in english.

Tech Update:

We are in close partnership with IBM in general. They are not involved in our ethereum blockchain work at all, however they have a great interest in our tourism projects in general. As we had dozens of negotiations with industry leaders, it is clear that around 40% of companies doesnt think that the blockchain is secure. They seem to be afraid of public chains and would prefer private solutions instead. However they would still need to be able to interact with their clients directly so we had to think about this issue a lot. A week ago we made the decision that we will partner up with IBM to settle a second Meerkat blockchain that will have the same properties as this one, but it will run on IBMs Hyperledger platform. This way we can create a permission based Meerkat smart contract for companies looking for more secure blockchain solution. IBMs prestige is of course a useful sales tool for us as well. Hyperledger is capable of running the Meerkat Exchange Contract in its current form. Hyperledger is fully compatible with Solidity therefore Meerkat will soon become an interoperable Token with multichain features. We expect to carry out this development accordingly to our roadmap. 

Etherscan Update:

If you look up our contracts you will find that 100.000.000 MCT Tokens are transferred from the Private Sale Address (original balance of 3 Billion Tokens). We have transferred these Tokens to a newly created Private Sale dedicated address. We had to do this because of some Private Investors who never used crypto before and they couldnt or dont want to buy Tokens with ETH but rather with FIAT. It is not common and we always support our partners with their first wallet creation but some Investors are not even interested in ETH. They are mid/long term investors so they are not really interested in how they can swap MCT back to ETH or FIAT. So it is a good thing. These Investors are long term hodlers

This is it for now. Next week we will be busy with the launch of the IBM cooperation so once again you may feel that we are not active on social channels, but you can always find active community members in our Telegram chat. Many members are 100% up to date with what we do in the phisical world so feel free to ask them. The official IBM cooperation  will be announced later this month on every channel so expect us

Thank you for all the support and we keep up the hard work.

Best regards,

Meerkat Team

A week or two passed and there is no update or news from the team. Maybe there is a special bonus or other promotion ongoing worth to mention. I think such a long time with no news is a waste of time if you run fundraising.

Dear Community,

Dear Noruka,

Thank you so much. You are totally correct. The only way to consolidate volatility is to significantly increase the overall marketcap. However thats not gonna happen without mass adoption. So what we're trying to do is at least take away the volitlity issue from our merchants. We have to be able to address and take the price risk of our own currency in case of a price drop. Otherwise we cannot really convince any merchants to accept any crypto. Hopefully this approach will add to mass adoption soon.

I'm glad that you inform us so fast. This is important to get access to this thread or just start a fresh one. Always better to have a control over your ANN thread.

As long as these markets haven't grown to globally significant sizes, there is now way to effectively fight volatility. Adoption is the only thing that will lower volatility in the future.
