So according to their white paper, 15% of the coins will go to the core team. This sounds like quite a lot? But I am not experienced in ICOs

Moreover, there is also the following statement:
"50% of the final amount raised in the ICO will be divided into two escrow accounts:
• 30% will be used for advertising, marketing, developers, daily operational costs of the
company and similar expenses. This will also include a monthly salary for the core and 2nd
tier members of the team.
• 20% will be kept as company assets, for ensuing compliance with all the appropriate
regulatory agencies.
• The remaining amount will be divided between the core founding members."

What does this mean? How much will the "remaining amount" be? If I read this correctly, the remaining amount of 50%, after 30% and 20% has been used, is...0%?


You need to read that again lol, 50% of the funds will split as follows 30% and 20%, so there is 50% left!
Sorry I should ahve quoted the full paragraph. Here is the full quote (and note the indentation):
"
After the ICO completes, the total distribution model will be as follows.
50% of the final amount raised in the ICO will be divided into two escrow accounts:
   • 30% will be used for advertising, marketing, developers, daily operational costs of the
company and similar expenses. This will also include a monthly salary for the core and 2nd
tier members of the team.
   • 20% will be kept as company assets, for ensuing compliance with all the appropriate
regulatory agencies.
   • The remaining amount will be divided between the core founding members.

The final use and distribution of the second half of the ICO final amount will always be decided by
majority vote of ICO founders and is intended for funding ongoing Obsidian-related work.
"

I interpret this as the remaining 50% being used for "ongoing Obsidian-related work", but is it different from the "remaining amount that will be divided between core founding members"? Due to the indentation it sure sounds like that amount should be part of the first 50%. Or do they mean 30%/20% of the 50%?

I love the idea of this project.

But my reservation is the vague timeframe for getting this to android and IOS.

Desktop app is nice but the big money is getting it on a mobile messaging app.

The way ICOs have been lately, after hitting the exchange, there needs to be constant improvement, excitement, and big ventures, especially within the first few months. Otherwise, it will likely dip below the ico level which creates a dumpoff.

Still undecided about this.

We understand your reservations. But the objective market for this kind of ultrasecure applications is more for the security-conscious people around: journalists, white collar workers, military, etc. From them it will gradually trickle to the general public, same as Slack that initially was just a tools for business and now every cryptogroup in the world uses it.

About "constant improvement, excitement, and big ventures", we have many things up our sleeves. The thing is that we don't like to overpromise like hundred other ICOs around while at the same time underdeliver on them. We prefer to do just the opposite: underpromise and underdeliver.

Thanks for taking your time to analyze us! Cool

I think that the target audience you aim for is not necessarily on desktop, it is quite the opposite in fact: when in the field, they use mobile devices and not desktops.

Do you have any plans for offering apps for mobile devices (Android especially)?

Thanks

This is from their github release of the messenger:

'We are planning to release OSM for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows 7-8.1 and Linux in the given order.'

Help please!! FAQ is confusing me

On the one hand for the ICO it says we can send from the exchange and that they prefer exchanges to private wallets.

Then on the ODN coins section it says they won't send us coins if we send from an exchange.

I'm really confused.

Edit:It's outdated information, you can purchase direct from an exchange because everyone is given a unique address.

 This is awesome, I can't wait to try the service as I want to become a better trader. My Hubby showed me this and so I also joined in the promo campaigns too!  Smiley I will join slack tomorrow when I get a little more time.

please tell me, maybe I did not read, but if there were any opportunities to get some tokens for experiments on a free basis? Today, there are a lot of advertising, but before the case reach, alas, not all...

OBSIDIAN PLATFORM HAS BEEN FEATURED ON FORBES DIGITAL MAGAZINE!! Cool

Check it out at this link:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/omribarzilay/2017/08/21/3-ways-blockchain-is-revolutionizing-cybersecurity/#3524f1923349


Quote from: forbes
Obsidian uses the blockchain-decentralized network, which cannot be censored or controlled by any single source. In addition, communications meta-data is scattered throughout the distributed ledger, and cannot be gathered at one central point, reducing the risk of surveillance through such digital fingerprints. Users need not link to their email addresses or telephone numbers, thereby increasing privacy.

When wallet ready to download?

I believe once the ICO ends they are aiming for the wallet to be done (Check back a page or so)

A Development team exists and have an alpha application readily available on their GitHub. The need for decentralized end to end communications, is long overdue. This much is true.

I just can't get past the 'built on Stratis' part. I'll admit, I don't know squat about Stratis, but was there an unshakeable reason why Obsidian is building on top of Stratis? I just feel with all the confusion amongst the bitcoin community, Obsidian naturally absorbs the same confusion.

Edit: grammar

Can we know the name of exchanges you plan to list OBSIDIAN. I hope Yobit is not in your list.

Copy pasta from the slack channel:


' Obsidian has three markets in mind, Bittrex, Cryptopia and Liqui. We cannot promise the inclusion of any exchange, however, we can promise we will do everything in our power to get on them. Each exchange holds the right to add/deny who they see fit. Additionally, any coin that is going to be listed on either of these exchanges is not allowed to say when they will be included, as discussing before listing would break their terms of agreement. '


Also here is the invite link to slack for those interested: https://twitter.com/ObsidianCrypto/status/897491722200133633
