Can you buy giftcards in the GiftChain DApp? Or do you need to buy in person
How can I use that dapp? It’s not working.
Visit http://fiddy.io and make sure you are using chrome and metamask. Metamask must be set to the ropsten testnet and you need a bit of ropsten ETH also. If you need more help please let me know.
Please tell me how to join airdrop, i see 5% allocation token to airdrop
The airdrop will be available to all Ethereum hodlers with balances of greater than 0.1 ETH. We will do this after the ICO.

This is an interesting project, I’ll be following along
Michael and I will be attending the Ethereum meetup in Tokyo today. If anyone would like to meet us we'd be happy to connect at the meetup.
Wow, I wish I could be in Tokyo to discuss the legal opinion more in depth with you guys.
Michael and I will be attending the Ethereum meetup in Tokyo today. If anyone would like to meet us we'd be happy to connect at the meetup.
As far as I understand it the legal opinion is relying on the hope that the third prong of the Howey test means profits are derived "solely" from the actions of your company.
We've had this discussion elsewhere with someone claiming something along similar lines, so let me just paste that reply here:
Your understanding is correct but incomplete.
You correctly note that the Supreme Court has not yet fully ruled as to vertical vs. horizontal commonality, and that creates uncertainty as to Howey's 2nd prong (common enterprise).
However, Howey, as has been made abundantly clear since the original decision, is an AND test, not an OR test. And Blockmason's ICO clearly does not trigger the 3rd prong, the expectation of profits. Quoting from the legal opinion:
"As to the third prong of Howey, the expectations of profitability and advantage on the part of CP token purchasers in BlockMason’s ICO is a function of the token holders’ own decisions and efforts about how to use and develop the rights they are purchasing, as summarized in detail above. Any possibility of profiting from the future entrepreneurial and managerial efforts of BlockMason – as opposed to their past and proven efforts to develop products and services – is entirely speculative. The BlockMason IPO satisfies each and every formulation of Howey’s third prong, by any of the courts identified above. Far from expectations of profits flowing solely, or predominantly, from the efforts of the promoters, those expectations flow overwhelmingly from the decisions and efforts of the token purchasers."
OK, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. It seems like you guys know what you're doing. Good luck!
Looking forward to the airdrop!
This is a great projet. Good luck guys

BlockMason Announces Second Application Ahead of Token Sale
Blockchain application developers BlockMason, who are launching one of this season’s most highly anticipated ICOs, have just announced their second application built using their innovative Credit Protocol. Called GiftChain, their new application will allow retailers and vendors of any size to easily issue gift cards and implement customer loyalty rewards programs secured by the blockchain. GiftChain will be accessible from any smartphone, making it possible for small businesses to easily track purchases and distribute rewards as would any large company. The application will support all major fiat currencies, multiple cryptocurrencies, and even arbitrary currencies designed by the issuer (e.g. a single meal at a restaurant or a voucher for a one hour massage).
This offering comes in addition to BlockMason’s first fully-functional application built atop the Credit Protocol, Friend in Debt—or, as they refer to it, “like Venmo on the Blockchain, but better!” BlockMason has already distinguished itself from other blockchain startups by offering a working product prior to their ICO. While GiftChain may not be free for public testing until after the commencement of their token offering, the announcement further demonstrates BlockMason’s commitment to product development and customer support. Additionally, the release of GiftChain proves the flexibility and viability of their Credit Protocol, which has been generating buzz for being the first SEC-compliant ICO open to the general American public after the SEC’s report on the Dao. The Credit Protocol is a simple system for recording debts and credits on the blockchain, which can be customized for a variety of organizational, business, or individual purposes through smart contracts programmed atop the protocol. In their Whitepaper, BlockMason has announced their intent to launch a bounty program for the development of template Credit Protocol smart contracts. Suggested contracts include campus meal voucher systems, consumer loans, and microfinancing.
While Giftchain is still in development, BlockMason has reportedly discussed testing an upcoming beta version with several Chinese retailers. According to BlockMason co-founder Jared Bowie, a finished GiftChain smart contract will likely be available in the next month, with a functional front-end available for public use after the ICO.
