Can you explain this a bit more in detail?

Paypal fiat purchases: 50% burned, 50% used to buy coins at cheapest price off exchanges
In-game purchases made with jewels: 50% burned, 50% added to paypal fund

As promised, here is the initial whitepaper discussing jewels and its integration in project rebirth. This is a brief document detailing ways we want the currency to be incorporated into the MMO project as well as introducing burn mechanisms and buyback mechanisms for the coin.

http://apexconquer.com/ProjectRebirthsJewelsEconomy.pdf


Keep in mind this is a living document and we highly encourage community questions and feedback. As revisions are made to the document, we will make sure to notify people through our slack, trello and this thread.




The jewels shop inside of heroes places coins spent into the PayPal fund (which is used to process fiat purchases of the coin from our website and from inside the game). The whitepaper actually details how we plan to handle that fund as it grows.

Approximately 200,000 Jewels have been used in the in-game shop so far. We are looking to introduce the burning mechanism mentioned in the whitepaper above in the next week and will be posting more details on that at that time.

For those who do not wish to read through the whitepaper or want quick and easy stats. Here's the short version of the burn mechanism.

Paypal fiat purchases: 50% burned, 50% used to buy coins at cheapest price off exchanges
In-game purchases made with jewels: 50% burned, 50% added to paypal fund



Apex is a tricky question. The shortest way to cover why Jewels has not been used there is that the in-game shop used on heroes does not fit nearly as well with the gameplay of that project. Instead we've found that the conversion rate in regards to monetizing players is more successful by convincing apex players to move to play heroes instead. With the first expansion pack for heroes on the horizon, our goal has become more about making the new server more attractive to those who used to play apex and moving them to the new ecosystem as smoothly as we can.

Ohh Ofer. When will you realize that Chris conned you. I hope you got some good lawyer friends there in Israel because you'll soon be needing them because chris has no desire to actually do anything for this project. Not saying you cant get in a quick pump to exit on but besides that this project is dead and the RCMP have been contacted.

I'm investing in various startups and real estate projects. The projects that do communications often send an email once a month, the regular amount is a quarterly update.

I understand that ICO's are different and there is usually more emphasis on hype, excitement and communications, but to me a frequency of updates about every two weeks is more than enough.

Also, I couldn't say that there is a link between frequency of updates to a success of a project.

****
At this moment you can expect dev updates about every two weeks, however we will make greater effort to be more reactive and post on going updates more frequent in BCT, Slack and Twitter.
****

Transparency is important so I will try to conduct a bi-weekly talk to Chris and deliver a summary to the community. For such cases I volunteered doing this temporary role of PR. We will collect as many as interesting data and publish it. Currently the focus is on game improvements in order to bring more players to play the game and to integrate the blockchain to the game so at the moment the PayPal is not commonly used. That will be used once we get our games available and using Jewels token and that is part of the focus now.

The burning mechanism is being revised. Actually any professional advice or comments by the community can assist for such a decision.

The were several announcements mainly for game events in the past 3 weeks (as Chris answered on that in previous posts) but the Tweeter account hasn't been active.
I will revive it soon to make sure there are updates there as well but I expect BCT and Slack to be the common update forums.

Okay even you do it for free I think that will be good if you would share your JWL address
for donations in that case you would have much more reasons to make project successful.

Korber0 write US you JWL address and I will send you some JWL , others if want can join funding you by sending what they stake or something that they feel would be good to TIP you for your work.

PS: You will be able probably to dump those JWL in GAME or keep it for incoming uptrend correction in few months.
As I know crypto this one can easily go 20x if Dev deliver ^^

Thank you guys for updates I really appreciate that.
Don't get to much to heart that others are saying all is happening because BTC is rising and some people are freaking out why
they had invested into any project that lose value.
In reality this is typical when BTC price rocket
when BTC pumps stop and money will flow to alts all will cheer how that JWL dev team is great...
this is sick

Transparency is important so I will try to conduct a bi-weekly talk to Chris and deliver a summary to the community. ---

In regards to transparency it would be good to have a monthly/weekly tally of how many Jewels have been sold through Paypal.

Also, when is the first burning scheduled?

And what about the twitter message where a big announcement is scheduled? What happened with that? What was the big news?

For clarity purposes: Korber0 is a member of the Jewels community who has volunteered to help make sure updates get posted to the community in a more timely manner.


Previews, timelines and updates from me will be posted to our trello board which he will then make sure gets posted properly throughout social media and to ensure issues and questions get filtered back to me.

The purpose of this is so that I can focus on finishing features. Right now we have a lot of stuff "mostly finished" and it gets constantly delayed due to having so many things requiring my attention. The goal is to focus in so we can cross one thing off my list at a time and make sure that the community is kept in the loop at the same time.


Posts coming from the pro4never account have been and will continue to be directly from myself where the Jewels account will be Korber0 or myself depending on the situation.

Have you downloaded the game? are you playing it? do you follow anything?

The main development is for additional Heroes features. We had lately several game events and in addition are still working on releasing a beta for the first gambling games for initial feedback from potential users including people from this community (probably you should be one of them).

A shame you think that way about this project but I probably can't convince you since you don't really follow the back stage activities (remember that this project back end are the games them selves).

I agree that only time will tell and the community will judge us, that is what we aim to. Development is slow and lots of things pops for Heroes so we have tons of work. We haven't been responsive lately and as stated we will do our best to improve it.

Any concrete suggestion you have to improve the transparency of this project is more than welcome.
We will do some new estimations on our roadmap and update it according to our current open issues and plans.
