So your post says that there will be 200 stakeholders with 1k/each. How the total cap is going to be calculated confuses me a little, because in previous lines you say that the final amount depends on the total holder list.

Sorry, that wasn't clear, mainly because I left a line out of the ann on accident. Just updated it.
What it is is each stake is enough for 200 people to get on the second teir of our system, which requires 5 coins, hence 1000.
Are you willing to provide us any identification?
Absolutely, we're going to be doing some podcasts/interviews in the near future, everyone will get all of that info. We just wanted to get this up ASAP because it gives us something to talk about in those things and because the people that see it on here will be able to get the word out the crypto community better than anyone else. Think of this post as us laying the public relations groundwork so that we can build on it in the coming days/weeks.

So I saw @MidtSch twit and got interested. (Referral: UrsaMajorisBeta)
There's one question I have:
Who are your team composed of? Are you willing to provide us any identification?
I saw Intellicoin doing so, and it brought trust to the currency.
And here's another question:

The Chain
&
LINKs Distribution Partners
A crypto driven rewards program designed to incentivize the everyday user to learn the cryptocurrency system and to reward those that teach others.
The Product:
http://i.imgur.com/3aqmFgR.png
http://i.imgur.com/uS1rfG1.png
Screenshots are from alpha development stage of the application.
The testing for the in-app exchange is going well. Until the market comes online, NULL is the place holder for the orderbook, we have tested buys and sells. Still bug checking~
The Chain
We are the team behind an app currently in development called "The Chain." It is a large database of discounts for everything from starbucks to worldwide hotel chains and everything in between. The Chain will have 3 levels on release, a free level , an upgraded level which will require 5 LINKs in the in wallet app, and a premium level run by LINKs micro transactions.
LINK
LINKs are the cryptocurrency tied to this project. The average user will either be given/sold LINKs by friends or follow an easy guide within the app to obtain them on exchanges or buy them in app. There will also be deals in the free side of the app that reward the user with LINKs if they use them. This will be most people’s first interaction with crypto and we have set out to make this extremely user friendly.
LINKs will also be the base currency of the in app exchange that will be rolled out in the future (see 'future plans), making it a gateway to other packages.
Developmental Roadmap:
September 22nd - LINKs Partner Site Comes Online
This site will be geared specifically towards LINKs holders. It will have resources guides, partner support, and will be the place we recruit distributors for events we have planned at brick and mortar locations which will present opportunities for people to make money explaining links to people. We hope to make this site a community of people helping each other make money through The Chain.
November 1st- The Chain Site Comes Online
This site is for the public and will contain all of the information about the app, including links to this thread.
November 15th - LINKs Distribution
We will start the distribution process to stake holders at 12 P.M. EST.
November 30th - App Release
The app is already in the development stage and will be released November 30th.
December 5th - Full Roll Out
We will be ready to hit the ground running on the 5th of December. This will be the public launch date and we plan to hold on site events at different locations across the nation such as grocery stores and malls. This is all in the planning stage and we will have more information as the time approaches.
Future Plans:
After The Chain has built up a customer base, we plan to open our platform up to other cryptocurrencies that may want to include a program similar to ours for their coin. Any coin will be able to come to us and be integrated in to our platform for a fee. We will personally assist them in building a rewards program for their user base. Once we hit this phase there will be an exchange built in to the app so people can trade their links for other cryptos to join the other rewards programs. In short, we hope to build a platform others want to be included in and offer that and our customer base as a product.
http://i60.tinypic.com/51v6fq.png
LINKs (the onboard cryptocurrency)-
Max initial coins will be equal to the number of stakes given out in this thread
PoS- 25% (to accommodate platform growth and reward distributors who keep coins in stock)
LINK's partners:
Anyone who gets a LINK stake will be considered a partner. Partners are the crux of our business model and will receive full support from the team through a site being built just for partners and will be the people that we offer the opportunity to sell their LINKs at real world events. (Sporting events, festivals, state fairs, etc.) This definition will expand as we bring in more people and the coins distribute better.
What is a Stake?
A stake will be enough coins for 200 people to join the app (1000 Links).
Distribution plan:
The first 10 pages of respondents to this thread will receive a free stake for helping spread the word about this program through social media. The only requirement is to post a url link on this thread to where you spread the word on social media (FB, twitter, etc.) and give us a follow at https://twitter.com/TheChainLinks and you're in. These pages also have the option to help fund the app by contributing .001 BTC to get their stake instead of social media promotion
The contribution for a stake will increase on progressing pages as follows-
Pages 11-20 .005 BTC
Pages 21-30 .015 BTC
Pages 31-40 .03 BTC
Pages 41 and on .04 BTC
To join post your txt ID with a BCT account with the amount of BTC based on the forum page.
Address: 15dQZYsfTML7YmJKB18HJT83PbobEfaYFo
Anyone who obtains a stake on this thread will also have the option to become a distribution partner. Distribution partners will have the option to purchase up to 10000 LINKs @ .00004 BTC each (A max of .44 BTC total possible contributions). If you choose to do this, just make sure to include what you sent and your txt ID in your forum response. This must be done before the distribution stage on November 15th.
Referral program:
For every person that lists you as a referral when they post on this thread for the first time, you get 1 extra stake for free.
Referral competition:
The BCT user with the most referrals when distribution closes will receive .5 BTC!
Our goals with this distribution model-
Our business model only works if enough people educated in crypto who are willing to teach get their hands on Links and we believe that this distribution model does exactly that. It also allows us to get the last bit of funding that we need to push this project out the door. This coin offering is part of our business plan and the funds raised are slated strictly for our national advertising campaign, it will not be used to reimburse our team for their costs. This is our business, we believe in it, and we are willing to take financial risks to build it.
Where we make money: We are monetizing this product through internal micro transactions that are part of a searchable deal catalog within the app which will be separate from the free side of the app. We will also be out selling Links at our events, all of which we will be buying off market.
Conclusion-
We believe that we have successfully designed a program that strikes a balance between incentivizing average users to learn about cryptocurrency and rewarding the people teaching them.
After we have built this platform and used LINKs as our proof of concept, we will to expand the platform to other cryptocurrencies. This will expose the average user to the alt-coin space via an easy and slow process all built in to one app that will be full of goodies and guides. What we need now is people with a knowledge about crypto and LINKs in their hands.
Have suggestions?
We welcome any criticism or feedback on our business plan while we still have the ability to change things, so please feel free to post them. If you have any questions please either DM us here or post on the thread and we will get with you ASAP.
