Please use an accurate email address. In order to participate in our token sale, please fill out the Google form as this is a mandatory first step process.

After completion, stay tuned for further updates here. Looking forward to seeing everyone here!

Well, I do apologize if you feel this way about the lack of responses thus far. Please read our explanation before.

To reiterate, our outreach & communication team member (who would've assisted on the communication) had an emergency regarding COVID. This still hasn't resolved. We are also in the middle of expanding and transitioning our team roles. Hence the delay in having a designated point of contact on BCT.

This will be improved.

Just being honest with you here. For what it's worth I do see where you're coming from.



Thanks for the suggestion @usekevin.

This is something to consider as we progress and update our roadmap accordingly here for visibility.




Point taken. Please read previous messages.

Just going through the list of questions. 

Read my post above. If you have further questions by all means continue here.

To answer your question here.

There are several dimensions here that need to be addressed:

1. We're referring to the price action of projects that have already been listed on exchanges and not the security of the project itself (more on that note in a minute). As we've witnessed, most of the time upon listing, the price spikes and drops partially by hype or bot issues. Binance and other centralized exchanges are no exception. However, purchasing a token via presale or public sale (early investment) generally protects against downside risks assuming a project is legitimate. Buying early and "cheaper" for say $1.00 on a presale deal before a token is live, will always be safer than buying $20 for the same token that's already listed. Price drops to $1 you lose nothing if you bought in at the price. At $20 you lose a lot. This is from a pure pricing perspective. I don't think there is much debate on buying early.

However, that brings us to...

2. The issue of finding out which projects are real, and which ones are the next rug pull is a real concern in this market. Our platform mitigates some of this security risk for investors by including liquidity and vesting token locks directly from the team. Therefore, any project that comes through us will be direct will be locked and optimized for safety for investors, and overall trust in the ecosystem. If a project wants to pull the liquidity from the project. Good luck there.

The vetting process will be done by us a combination of ourselves and via our community. Due diligence is important and not an area we plan to skimp out on.

3. In terms of how we're different from other solutions. Our value is in providing a complete launchpad that focuses on "creating deals' as opposed to "finding them" from other launchpads. Most others providers out there focus solely on funding and limited marketing. This is simply the wrong approach. Without revealing too much (until we show our MVP) we aim to dive deeper into this vertical. Essentially, really hammering down on the processes that streamline the launch sequence, including post-launch coordination for continued support. Why?

Well, what do you think happens when a project gets purchased by investors hoping to flip or sell all of their vested tokens for the next shiny object?

That's not real value and a problem faced by some other competitor launchpads. We plan to solve this via a combination of post-launch support from our partners, and our core technology.

Hope this answers some of the questions going forward.

Hey Holydarkness,

Thanks for your questions.

While I understand you had some worries (especially in this space) let me answer them directly.

I'd like to direct you to my post above in regards to the reasons behind our delayed communication several posts above.

Regarding our bounty, this is currently handled by Royse777 (who has done a phenomenal job in all aspects) on social media bounties. Our Youtube + blog bounty is handled internally at the moment.

However, I'll reiterate the problems we encountered.

We have a designated core team member tasked to handle communications and outreach going forward on BCT and other channels. Unfortunately, he was impacted severely by COVID and that delayed our response. This is sadly an ongoing issue. To give you some perspective, our team is international in multiple countries so it's still a prevalent problem.

Given that the bounty was live it was only fair for us to continue there for hunters.

For reassurance, the communication on BCT will be improved as well are now transitioning and expanding our team at the moment. I hope this is not exactly a deal-breaker for you, but I do sympathize with your concerns. I would too if the roles were switched. That's my honest answer.

However, knowing what I know I can say that we're here to stay and that there's nothing we're intentionally keeping from you. Hope this puts you at ease.

You missed my question, or perhaps it is better if I say you missed the point of my question. What I asked was, given we can roughly say your service is an ICO platform, there are a lot of similar platforms already circling around, and most didn't safeguard the buyers against projects that do rugpull. Unfortunately, neither did i find any of your feature that attempting to fight against this known issue. So what's improvement that you purpose that differentiate you from others?

Hi fcmatt,

Our tier system will be used to access different investment/allocation amounts for public sale deals coming through our platform and staking opportunities.

In addition, tokens will be used for internal benefits both by investors + startups within our ecosystem that will be revealed at a later date.

Hey AmoreJaz,

Appreciate the thoughts.

This is a good question and the team will likely be announced when it's ready.

However to be fair, there are many current launchpads that are anonymous simply because of predictably, regulatory environments or the decentralized structure that's in place.

I do certainly understand the concern there in regards to the anonymous vs public debate. That said, we'll do our best to give you the most relevant details here as the project continue. So I do hope you can stick around.

Hi terciduk123,

Thanks for the questions.  

Team will be updated as appropriate. I will say that our tech stack is our strongest core competency as our co-founder has operated a blockchain tech company since 2015. We're solid on that front alone.

Our project will be onboarding crypto startups launching on other networks outside of Ethereum.

Say, a crypto project is looking to launch on BSC or ETH network. We are agnostic, in the sense that we'll incubate projects regardless with a special focus on BSC and the Ethereum network.

In terms of partnerships, we're currently in discussions to build those out, some being core to our own launch and upcoming startups who come through our platform as our unique value add.

Hey guys,

First off, thanks for checking out the ANN thread here for Whalemaker. 

I can see that there have been questions, and ambiguity surrounding the lack of communication on BCT.

So let me be entirely transparent.

Frankly, I will say that there's nothing that's "intentional" or purposefully hidden to the public. There's always that "what if" in terms of a project's legitimacy. I get it, and I've been there in your shoes.

So here's some clarity:

• Originally, we intended to have a designated team member (for communications), responsible for handling all BCT discussions going forward. Before we were able to continue the task assignment, he was impacted by a serious COVID situation. Out of respect, I won't go into full details. Therefore, that gap in communication here is a direct result.
• We are in the middle of transitioning our team. Along with expansion. This will include all continued discussions here on BCT and other channels. So any updates from us will be posted accordingly with relevant questions addressed.
• There are absolutely ZERO intentions of rug pulls or any other shenanigans. Just the opposite. It is a problem we hope to solve with our platform. All of us on the core team, are quite forward-thinking in terms of making WhaleMaker a success for the long run. No short-term gains. No Pump and dump mindset here. No nonsense.
• Our core team members are busy developing our product, and most of us hard at work discussing potential partnership relations on this project.

Our MVP will be revealed soon, and we're quite proud of what we are hoping to achieve.

Overall, our apologies for the delay in communication. Nonetheless, I hope this answers some of the concerns and brings about confidence to the BCT community here going forward.

If anyone here has further questions, by all means feel free to drop them here. Bring them.
 

I visited their bounty and gave them a thorough look, apparently Royse777 was just posting on their behalf, he did not hired to manage the campaign. I also took a deeper look on their telegram channel, they have three members labeled as CM, community manager, I am sure three should be more than enough to handle their only two media --telegram and this thread-- so I can't help but thinking that their silence is perhaps intentional.

It looks like they are more focused on advertising and bounties than answering the question here. I don't know if they have social media manager or not. Still, they should have a representative here to answer some of our questions regarding their project as it looks more suspicious if they have not one representative here.

Their should be a detailed explanation about the project in the announcement thread.You should included the team of the project and their destination.From that the investors come to know,the project is legit and invest their money.No one will invest single bucks without the proper acceptance.So you should included the roadmap to the thread.From the above command,I had found less active of team on a thread.It should be omitted to get good investors.

This is a very bad excuse for a project that wants to be known and attract as many people as possible. What's the point to open an ANN thread if "you" are not willing to interact and answer to anyone who shows interest? Plus that I don't see any connection between managing bounties and replying here.
Sorry to say it but for me (and I'm sure to others as well) an inactive thread from the team, isn't a project that will look or involve more.

I agree with you here. There is someone taking care already about the bounty. They should be more active here as it is their official thread, where interested users are asking some vital questions like this.


It is much appreciated if they will be more interactive with the community. Because that will gain more interest if people are seeing that they are active here also aside from being active with their social media channels.

Those team were online and active several days ago, but they prefer to take care of the bounty thread and their stakes instead of answering serious question here. Which, for me, is rather worrysome and questionable since they've hired a top BM so they should be more focused on their ann and leave the bounty thread to their BM

can you share what is the different for membership level 1 to level 5?
because i search this info on your website but i don't find any benefit for each level

Now you can access it, this is the new Whale Maker telegram group link https://t.me/officialwhalemaker
they made the announcement thread here, there should be a team here too.

In regards to your 1st and 2nd page of lightpaper (or was it onepager-divided-into-six? It's very short and not detailed), I'd like to point out that the barrier to entry of token early sale were not just the high minimum contribution or the composition of holders-and-short-term-traders. If any ICO projects from the past 4 years ever taught anyone, there is a huge risk of rugpull and scam projects, which lead to to an opinion that a project that's already --borrowing your words-- "months after an exchange listing" is safer, because reputable exchanges filter outs low quality projects, which usually has tendency to exit-scam. With this said, I didn's see any point covering this on the proposal of your project. I assume your project didn't propose any feature to fight this known issue? If so, then what's so different between you and other existing crowdfunding platforms?

if they are going to collect some important details from the project owners who will apply on their platform, i believe it is only fair that they will also publish their team members on this project.
also, for added credibility of the platform itself. how can investors trust their money to anonymous platform? i know a lot of projects can pull it off without revealing themselves. but this is a fundraising platform. people will confidently send their money if they know who is/are behind the project.
