This means the receiver of this eGift should have at least known this platform also. But how about the receiver of the eFlower, should create account in your platform also? After receiving the eGift, what will be its use afterwards? I am wondering if there will be other benefits of receiving an eGift, can they sell it also if the time comes that they want to discard the gift? Like if you are not in good terms already with the giver, and you want to discard it?
Yeah, that's right - the receiver will at least need to have a desktop / mobile wallet interface to receive; but this is where the Crypto-city will create some decent 4K animations explaining this process, why it's important, the internal workings of DLT / blockchain, networking, and PoS rewards. Once the back-end team finish the initial wallet iteration, we will get to work on a mobile wallet that can be released in conjunction with the final desktop wallet v2.0, so that less burden can be placed on the receiver of the eGift, with a simple download of a mobile wallet, and some video instructions of how to setup / give a wallet address. Overall, like with any new technology, there's a learning curve, but we hope to reduce the stress here with informative video content and an having an available team on the social media side. Either way, the primary aim is to get people using the software, maintaining their software, and ultimately creating a robust network of participants.
The eGift will be received along with a message on chain; the eGift itself doesn't have use outside of appeasing perceptive appetites. But the image and ID tag will record to the chain, so will be stored on chain and in the wallet interface for a permanent record. Let me break it down a bit better for you.
How the outgoing transaction process will appear:
-
Wallet interface send section; "What would you like to say?" / "What eGift would you like to send [available list in drop down menu format]?" / "What is the receiver's address?"
-
By selecting an eGift, the wallet is designed to preset the crypto amount in the outgoing transaction; users cannot send an eGift otherwise. They can still simply choose to send crypto, but by selecting an eGift, the wallet will auto fill the outgoing transaction amount and pre-allocate the associated ID tag to the chain for the receiver's wallet to identify on reception. We're going to attribute bitFlowrs cost to each eGift, which users will be able to see within the eGift menu. Sending gifts in the real world isn't "free" either, so participants in gift exchange are already accustomed to this procedure. This is what will create that utility outside of speculation - coins will be required to send a gift.
From experience, we tend to see that people are usually responding to mere hype and future speculation of the project cost. This is what initially drives people to obtain any coins. However, in itself, the coins are not used. And I can only assume remain dormant. However, we're aiming to get people to acquire some coins, so that they can use them. We're going to rollout both an eCommerce plug-in and some Discord bots that will enable us to give users access to these coins outside of the markets, so that anyone can easily get the coins, without having to be concerned about the learning curve that crypto exchanges may create.
As for what you do do with those eGifts! The ID tags and eGift accompanying messages will always remain on the chain, so I'm afraid you won't be able to literally discard it. You'd have to simply accept it! However, we believe that having this historical record on chain is a more efficient way for people to retain sentiment, without the unnecessary wastefulness that can occur with the traditional [for example] birthday / Christmas card sending, etc. And although the eGift itself won't be entirely unique (although they are custom designed!) or recyclable, the coins that are attributed to that transaction are re-usable. People can either utilize those coins to send someone else an eGift, stake them, or send them to a marketplace to trade / sell.
Overall, try and view this project like a traditional crypto currency coin project - you can trade the coin, store the coin, stake the coin, and even speculate with the coin. However, the wallet interface will enable users to use these coins to send friends / family eGifts from the wallet interface. I'll include the wallet mock design to give you a better handle on how the eGift will be interpreted in the wallet overview.
