If this is truly a 'nonprofit coin' why the need for the IPO?
Why dont you just direct investors to donate directly to charitywater.org?
You're way better off launching the coin without any IPO/premine, and the coin has a much better chance of success...
If people would rather donate straight to charity: water, via our
Digital Drop project for example, we hope they do and we support that. If you feel strongly about it and will donate to the charity: water project instead we would be incredibly happy. Yes we have a goal to build an amazing coin that expands the way people can get involved in charities and donate, but seeing the help and funds raised for water increase world wide is also our goal--if that happens it would be amazing.
Regarding the IPO, I know there are a good number of people in the community that don't like them. It's something we discussed at great length while we were planning everything out, and we still discuss it. In the end there are many plans and developments we wouldn't be able to do without having an IPO and we would of had to sacrifice those things. We've laid out a nice marketing plan that includes buying ad space on multiple platforms, we have press releases written and scheduled for disbursement, we have sponsorships we're putting together with some awesome small businesses, and we have a huge goal of turning Clean Water Coin into a charity where we are funding our own clean water projects and be able to offer charitable deductions for donations.
Our hope is that by being transparent and up front about everything that's going on and including the community that we can convince you and others like you that mining and using Clean Water Coin is a good thing. Don't participate in the IPO if its the sort of thing that you don't trust, I'm not trying to convince you to invest. Instead, join us at launch and mine WATER and use the coin, by doing just that you will be helping to raise funds for our charity: water projects. How? We've built in a unique function where 0.1% of each transaction goes to the Charity Wallet. Those coins are exchanged for BTC and then exchanged to USD and donated to our charity: water
Digital Drop projects. The community will be able to see the amount of funds raised and those details will be continually updated.
