But can't you follow the same crowdfunding rules, generate a btc address and send some btc to lock in your own stake. So the way your saying it, it sounds like you will buy WARP on the market after crowdfunding is over??? OR you don't want to hold any WARP yourself?

Is there a % of inflation to get to the golden ratio of total amount of coins? What is the staking rewards? To generate those new coins.

Thanks for your quick answers, but still looking for more info.

Yes I can buy WARP of my own, with my own BTC, but I'm not going to that with my own sale. You do realize that I wouldn't be spending anything since the BTC would end up in my pocket anyway? That's not a fair position to take.

I would love to buy WARP off the market as a personal interest, and since I believe in the project so much, that is something I will surely do!

The stake percentage is a basic 1% yearly. I wanted to keep distractions to a minimum and as simple as possible. Too many terms and specs and unfamiliar conditions are hurtful of larger adoption. The point is to be quick and easy and useful.

shapetwist has a point, buying with into his ico would result in him getting free coins (since the bitcoin would just go back to him) and less for those who invested

Yes, I understand now. It just seemed a bit weird to me that the founder wouldn't hold a stake in coins. Hopefully he buys it on the market like he said.

@shapetwist What is the minimum amount of BTC you need for crowdfunding to be successful?

Looks interesting. I have some questions though.

Since you invested your own funds to help develop this initially (I understand your not a coder but hired coders?)
You seem to me like the project manager is that correct?

Are you putting your own btc into the crowdfunding too so that you get a stake of WARP?
It doesn't make sense to me that you will give away all the coins and not save any for yourself?

I noticed for "WarpGO" it says "multi-platform instant p2p transactions app with virtually no fees"?
Won't fees be required to support the network?
What are the staking rewards for this coin? If I invest, I want to be able to earn staking rewards?

Look forward to your reply

Hey! Sure I'll be happy to answer!

Yes, I'm not a coder. You can say I'm the project manager, or the founder with the concept and vision. I hire coders for specific tasks, but most of the work so far was done by myself.
There is no one else behind it, so it's not like I am managing a project only.

I've mentioned in this thread before that I can't buy into WARP right now, for giveaways or any other reason. That wouldn't be buying, it would be getting coins for free.
I guess there is no way to prove it besides analyzing the blockchain, all transactions can be checked. But why would I be here preaching about fairness if I was to follow any wrongdoing?

Yes, fees are required to support the network. Virtually no fees kind of means that the fees are so small that are almost nonexistent. But regarding the "instant", I'm actually looking into other coins' development that I find interesting and essential to add to a coin that values usability. So zero-time transactions are being studied.

But can't you follow the same crowdfunding rules, generate a btc address and send some btc to lock in your own stake. So the way your saying it, it sounds like you will buy WARP on the market after crowdfunding is over??? OR you don't want to hold any WARP yourself?

Edit: On your warpcoin.com website, under specs it says Proof of Stake 1% Yearly.

Edit: Also I tried to use the linux wallet and got this error:

Code:

A fatal error occurred. Warp can no longer continue safely and will quit.

EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error       
CDB() : can't open database file , error 21       
Warp in Runaway exception

Nevermind, fixed, was a permission error, should use 'chmod +x Warp-qt-linux' not sudo

WARP has been added to www.shapeshift.io discovery list, meaning they will review it for a possible addition.

Any proof? There is a link to discovery list?

I have tried for a long time to get on Shapeshift with BITZ and they told me in July we were on the "Discovery" list but I don't think the list is available. What Shapeshift said in the e-mail to me was this: "we normally do not add coins that are just released to the market. We have to see them get picked up on multiple exchanges as well as make sure the volume of the coin seems to be continually increasing and that there is a strong market demand. We have a larger list of qualifications we look at that we do not provide publicly, but those are the basics."

So being on the "discovery" list doesn't mean much, they judge it by volume and demand.

But I hope you get this off the ground...

Yeah, at this point it doesn't mean much.
I'm trying to bring awareness by contacting services that can accept WARP in the near future.
CoinWallet.co is another one that will add WARP to their wallet services.

Hi, I'm the developer of the project. Single other developers and coders are hired per different tasks. Not necessarily out of the forum.
At the moment this is my way to go, in the future I'm open to get a permanent developer on the team.

I think my commitment can be seen! Fortunately I have time that I can afford to spend on this, like I have been doing for the past 5 months.

Anyway.. I've been trying some promotion to bring more awareness. It would be good if everyone in the crypto world knows about the coin before the sale ends.

Things are going well so far in my opinion. We've raised 1.565 BTC. It's not much but it's deeply appreciated. Nice to see that the investors can still identify who to trust.
The last two days I've been busy trying to get WARP a voice, and it's not easy. Every coin seems just like another coin, it's hard to stand out.

However, I believe that people reading this thread have good reasons to follow it to say the least. This is a hard project that goes a bit against the system/norm that we've seen lately. Making the foundations of WARP has been a pleasure, and despite having difficult - yet doable - goals to achieve, I'm sure it's really worth.

I'm eagerly waiting for the day the project succeeds and everyone will finally see it as I see it.

Until then, feel free to engage and ask questions.
I'm on slack, skype, bitmessage, email, you call it.

WARP has been added to www.shapeshift.io discovery list, meaning they will review it for a possible addition.

I have also contacted Poloniex, being one of the main trusted exchange services out there. An addition by Bittrex would also be supported.

Other exchanges are not endorsed or officially supported at the moment, please contact me at [email protected] if you're interested to add WARP.

I understand that! But who's to say once the sale ends, devs just run off with the BTC? Wouldn't be the first time such an act has been committed. I'm not trying to slander the WARP team in any way, because I really do want to buy some right now Undecided

It's always a possibility, but even if they sent you the warp now, they could just run off with the BTC anyways so it doesn't really make that big of a difference lol

touche...you, sir, have twisted my arm on the matter. Appreciate the responses.

Hey, good morning!

Just to explain a bit further: everyone receives their coins when the sale ends so everyone pays the same price per coin and everyone is allowed to stake or hit the market at the same time. I'm specifically asking exchanges not to add the coin until distribution is complete.
This is how you create a stable and fair coin. This is also why there is no proof of work phase; not everybody can mine. So the main incentive is that every WARP angel has the same chances!

And thanks everyone who jumped in so far!
If you want to pass the word about WARP follow @warpcoin on Twitter and help with a few re-tweets!
I'm happy with the reception and confident that more interest comes towards the end of the sale!
