Hicky looks pretty promising. Will there be any sort of bounty campaign?
how will your project be monetized?
I noticed that you guys had a holiday contest yesterday for Valentine's Day. I like seeing how you guys are getting the community engaged. I'm curious to see what story the winner came up with. 
I know this is a common security question regarding many dating apps so I will ask you about it. With Hicky, will there be a centralized database that stores user conversations?
Great question. The answer is: No! - It will be decentralized. Your conversation will belong to you!
Nice! I am very excited to see a dating app doing this. It's hard to trust dating sites now because of all the leaks. This will go a long way in preventing them. Good job for that.
What would you say your most unique feature is compared to other dating apps?
Our Economic Behavior Paradigm:
The Decentralized Autonomous Dating community runs on an incentivization model that works within the new paradigm of a decentralized token economy. Positive behavior is economically incentivised while community building is encouraged through the stakeholder (decentralized) governance model. The Hicky token, like money in the real world, forms the backbone of this network. It must be emphasized that DAD (Decentralised Autonomous Dating Network) is democratic and socially driven entity.
I suggest reading the full part about our Decentralised Autonomous Dating Network (DAD) in our Whitepaper (you'll love it): https://hicky.io/assets/pdf/Hicky_Whitepaper.pdf (pages 12-17)
I am in agreement and also think this is the most unique feature I've learned about Hicky so far. I think it's going to go a long way in the community and it's what dating really needs. I think the token was a good idea to help implement this system. This is a very interesting project and I commend you guys on coming up with something like this.
Are you planning to use smart contracts?
Yes we actually posted them on github already: https://github.com/HickyToken/hickycontracts
That's good to know. Thanks for the link...not sure how I missed it!
So, I have to ask. How'd you guys come up with the name of the token? Is it from what I'm thinking it's from? 
Fake accounts in dating apps have always been an issue I've encountered. Does Hicky have a solution for that issue? If so, what is it and how does it work?
We're using Face- and Voice-Verification to prevent this. We published an article about this topic and how we are solving it some days ago.

Awesome idea. Very unique. It is good to see that you guys are thinking ahead and truly trying to change the dating app scene. I appreciate the article too. What is the best way to keep up with your articles for future reference?
Hey. Just check https://medium.com/hickynews - We're also updating everyone on Twitter: https://medium.com/hickynews about our newest articles or in our Telegram Group: https://t.me/getpicky
Great, thanks. I'll be following closely! Also, I see that Hicky got interviewed by BBC news. Congratulations. Once word gets out, this project will become a huge success so I am happy to see you guys got publicity.
I'm glad to see the attempt at improving information security risks while creating this app. Information theft truly is a huge issue with dating apps. I think this product has a lot of potential.
That said, what are you planning on doing to market this product?

Well Patrick and Julian are experts in the area of dating (like already mentioned in our Announcement post): "As one of the largest lead providers in the european market, they have launched million dollar campaigns around the globe, targeting various market demographics. Due to their vast experience, they know the ins and outs of their industry and the respective constraints."
Thanks for your prompt response. I must have overlooked that since I originally reviewed more of the technical details.
Your team looks amazing and Patrick and Julian seem like they know their way around marketing and will deliver results. I'm looking forward to seeing the future of this project and will keep following and learning more about it.
Thank you! It really means a lot for us. Happy to have you
How is the progress of the Hicky pre-sale? I know there is only a couple of days left. Then the main sale starts. What is the benefit of buying in now rather than waiting until the main sale on the 14th?
Pre-Sale ends tomorrow (February, 14th 2018 11:00:00 UTC). Main Sale starts right after.
If you buy in the Pre Sale you'll get at least 5% up to 30% (depends on how much you invest).
I hope that answers your question
Awesome, thanks for the info! I'm glad I got in early. Was the pre-sale successful?
What do you think the blockchain can offer that will really improve the current dating scene? How will you use it to provide users with a better experience and will have them coming to Hicky instead of competitors?
1) Blockchain technology as itself provides secure messaging for example - I don't know if you heard about the Ashley Madison Hack back in 2015 - The database of A.M. got hacked and therefore many Accounts were leaked to the public. It destroyed many relationships & marriages. Long story short: The Messages you send belong to you.
2) Considering that we have "DAD" (The Decentralized Autonomous Dating community). It runs on an incentivization model that works within the new paradigm of a decentralized token economy. Positive behavior is economically incentivised while community building is encouraged through the stakeholder (decentralized) governance model. The Hicky token, like money in the real world, forms the backbone of this network. It must be emphasized that DAD is democratic and socially driven entity.
I suggest to read Page 12-15 in our Whitepaper (https://www.hicky.io/assets/pdf/Hicky_Whitepaper.pdf) where this is covered specifically.
Thank you for your helpful explanation. I have always wondered how to prevent things like the Ashley Madison hack with apps like this. I'm glad to see that Hickey is concerned with the security and privacy of each user. I will do further research in the whitepaper to gain a better idea of those details.
Is there a Github link available? I'm excited to keep up with development!
Hey
- You can find our GitHub here: https://github.com/HickyToken/hickycontractsAwesome! Thanks. I'm looking forward to keeping up with development.
Where will future customers buy new tokens after the ICO ends?
I know this is a common security question regarding many dating apps so I will ask you about it. With Hicky, will there be a centralized database that stores user conversations?
Great question. The answer is: No! - It will be decentralized. Your conversation will belong to you!
There are crazier things i can assure you. Like the crypto called gifto. Now that seems pointless and they are positioned to take a HUGE market share
the developers are probably very busy with work, they promised as early as January 15, to post some important update and after that there is not a single message in the topic.
How are things going with the development of the project? any news?

You might be much more likely to get a response via Telegram. Let me know if you have luck.
Yea, Telegram is one of our main communication channels
That's good to know. I am unable to get on Telegram at work but I'll note it for when I'm home.
In glancing over the whitepaper, I saw that Hicky provides some pretty neat features that incentivize good behavior and therefore keep users happy. I particularly thought the "date deposit" was a unique idea that does not appear to be in any other dating app I've seen. I think a video on the entire scenario of the date would be a cool marketing idea that could show potential users how unique Hicky is.
Great idea, thank you! We actually thought about it aswell. Happy to hear, that you share our opinion!
It looks like you guys have a great team. I'm glad you are open about the team as well. May I ask how many people work on this project full or part time?
So is it like MatchPool?
What is the different between it?
What is the different between it?
They are more like a platform with so called "pools". We're a DApp (decentralied application). You may could implement our product in theirs later on. Thanks to our adivsor Hermione Way (worked for Marchpool and Tinder) we're able to contact Matchpool if needed.
How confident are you that you can follow the roadmap listed? Do you foresee any potential delays?

I'm lucky I saw this.
