Man, I keep coming back to this project, because I really like it!

The only thing that's bothering me is the .5 ETH minimum. I look at a lot of ICOs and generally don't like to invest over .25 ETH, because I like to diversify a lot. So this would be double the amount I prefer to drop on these ICOs.

Is there a reason why this minimum is so much higher than most ICOs?
Actually, this in not an ICO but a limited preSale. It is quite common for a presale to limit the contribution to $2000-3000 minimum. STeX made it just 0.5 ETH

Trying to understand the logic behind this provision in the white paper:

6. During the ICO the STE coin price will automatically double after every 10% portion of
coins is sold. For example, if the start price of STE is 0.001 ETH, after 10% of all tokens is
sold, the price will become 0.002 ETH, after another 10% (that is 20%) it will be 0.004 and so
on. You will be able to sell your tokens after the ICO ends.



Basically this will have a compounding affect on the token price. At the point that 50% of tokens are sold...the price will have increased 32x from the original price. In order to sell all tokens during the ICO, the final investors will be paying over 1,000x the original price.  Based on the example you give in the clause above, the price of one STE will increase from 0.001 ETH at the start of the ICO, to 1.024 ETH for the final 10%.

If nothing else (assuming my maths isnt flawed, or i've not misunderstood this provision), this will surely act as a major disincentive for ICO investors after, say, 20-30% have been sold and will price STE very high relative to the market and total number of coins out (i.e. 100,000,000 cap).

Look forward to your thoughts on this or correcting my assumptions.

I agree. It's the same case of this problem: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem

In the current model, the volume of pre-sale can be big than the ICO, because, the terms to the ICO are terrible.

Hi there!
So I  noticed your commission calc https://stex.exchange/media/STEcalculator.htm
Now current total 24h volume is around 14000000 eth
Poloniex is making around 4.3% of total daily volume , do you really think you ll beat polo in your very first year of operation?
But forget polo , let’s take a smaller but very wellknown exchange
Liqui is making around 0.3% (32 out of 178 exchanges listed in cmc) and imho it will be great success for you to beat liqui in 2018
If we input 0.3% to your calc here is what we get

https://gyazo.com/4b9319e0a18cabcf2db7a82ea993eaac

So what? We ll have negative commissions ?
We ll have -174% Cash-out net profit if you can’t beat a well established exchange ?!
Is there something wrong with my calculations*?

*All the numbers i used is derived from coinmarketcap


It's a red alert. An optimist scenario we can consider 50% of volume of liqui. The math of Stex needs better explain.
Some suggestions:
-reduce the minimum amount to enter in ICO
-contract a good guy to audit the smart contract
-change the website, the informations of the type: "You can gain 5 times that you put in pre sale". Informations of this type looks like MMM ponzi scheme and  it's terrible to the ICO participants.
- focus in tools like deep and taint analysis to come real value.
- explain the math, what the breakeven point (volume/cashback)? What's the worst scenario?
- show your GitHub link and code.
- yesterday I saw a message of Stex on Facebook of fake Vitalik in Stex telegram. Guys please, when I saw this information I want to withdraw my money out of the Stex.

How works the partner with Wings?
I knew Stex by Wings community.
I bought some Stex in pre-sale now  Cool.
Very positively. We have an arrangement already. Hope the Wings tech department will manange with the beta release before our ICO. If they have any delays we would have two choices: either postpone our ICO for a week or two, or start on our onw. I like the first one much better.  Smiley
I agree, wait for the Wings Beta release. You will draw much more attention

We have an important news for both our investors and partners! Since we hit our minimum cap for the preSale we are now starting to withdraw part of the raised ETH to start financing the STeX infrastructure and the development process. We also start paying our partners from our STeX UP! partner program in real time. You can choose the withdrawal amount in ETH on this page https://stex.exchange/stexup

We know most of you want to participate in STeX presale and get our STE tokens. We cannot pay our affiliates in STE at the moment, therefore you can withdraw your partner balance in ETH and buy STE on the preSale page directly paying to our smart contract address. This way you can become both our partners and STE token holders and participate in the 100% distribution of STeX dividends from commissions.

We hope this move will attract even more attention to the Exchange 3.0 Aggregator project which aims at creating the liquidity in the crypto market and making possible to trade the 10 000 cross-rates of major top 100 coins after the launch of STeX.exchange in the 1-st quarter of 2018.
Hurry up to invite even more investors into STeX Exchange before the preSale close on September 30 or reaching the hard cap.

So I take it for the people that don't make it over the .6 eth withdrawal limit, their eth commission rewards will automatically get paid out at the end of the Pre-sale?

Referral program will continue into the coming ICO and after that into STeX trading operations

my fault, I probably phrased my question wrong.  The real question = at what point in the future do you plan to remove the eth withdrawal limit? 
For presale and ICO there is going to be a 0.6 ETH limit. After that we may review the limits for referring traders to make the program appealing to partners.

I was talking about an exchange like this not too long ago with a friend and I just know read this ann. I'm stunned I haven't heard about this earlier. The incentives are very interesting! I think I might contribute some after having a quick read through the white paper Smiley

But even without that, I gotta say, the concept is very strong!
