"first-ever artwork to be tokenised and to be sold using blockchain technology" Nice. I hope this project will be successful.

fair enuff for making art accessible to mere mortals.

but these fucking painitings aren't worth millions......

 ::)

Thank you for your wishes! One of the few blockchain projects who are building real stuff.
Feel free to join their telegram (https://t.me/maecenasart) to talk to the team/community!

Haha! Well the good thing about this auction is price discovery will be done by the open market as the tokens become tradeable on maecenas platform. So if it's really not worth millions or not, the community will decide just like bitcoins or anything else in the market. Blockchain will make the price fair and transparent :)

Totally! Super excited to see the results! This is just the beginning IMO! Such auctions will keep happening resulting in excitement every now and then :)

At last, something new has appeared in this forum. Well done devs.
I have a few questions: how do you source your masterpieces? I presume you bought a few or is the community holders willing to auction their pieces? On the basis of what parameter you fix the fee (which is quite low by the way)? Lastly, any major masterpiece you have available for the boom launch?

They source their masterpieces via private collectors and galleries who want to retain ownership of the artworks but see value in selling a percentage (up to 49%) to get some liquidity. They already have a very long pipeline of works from well-known artists.
Their fees are lower than the current art market fees as a result of the efficiencies achieved through the use of blockchain technology and an automated digital platform.

im seeing a great future for this project, do you have an airdrop prepared for this project?

No airdrop planned as of now.

You can check out their Smart contract Code - https://github.com/MaecenasArt/Dutch-Auction/blob/master/DutchAuction.sol

Will this project become an avenue for up-and-coming artists in the future? Or only for established artists and their works?

This is a great project. When are you going to list on exchanges and what are they?

bottomline is, only the dev team will gain huge money from this. they already raised thousands of eth, yet they are still getting money from these auctions.
people will own a very small fraction of that art but reality check he can never own that art. they are just mere traders of this token. dont dream that one day, you can get a glimpse of the painting or hold it in your hands. just saying

You can check out their Smart contract Code - https://github.com/MaecenasArt/Dutch-Auction/blob/master/DutchAuction.sol

I would like to know if there will be a secondary market for the artwork shares. If it will not be possible to sell shares, it will be a very illiquid investment, right?

Is there a mechanism for a painting sold for ART to be resold to a single owner. Eg. someone buys shares in the Warhol but loses the private key, how can a future investor fully own the piece?

How many Art Token do I get with 5.000 USD? & How the exchange rate between USD and Art token is fixed? How are calculated the transaction costs?

Is there a blockchain showing me the information about authenticity? Im too curious about this and It will be possible for buyers to see the artwork physically after the sale?TIA =)

When can we expect a YouTube video? When?

Is the auction public for everybody or not, or it is only for the buyers?

What's the advantage of owning ART, if then you can commit ETH or BTC as well to purchasing a piece of art?

Seriously? What have Art got to do with blockchain. This is a super lame case of usage of blockchain. Blockchain does not mean getting funding to do Art, do you understand?

Are the paintings going to have securities?

Is The auction made to own only 49% of the artwork, which is estimated 3 millions dollars approximately? What happens if the biddings exceed? Do the investor get the whole work?

On what basis do you accept new artwork?

How will you incentivise the collectors who originally own the painting?

Yes, once we can leverage economies of scale, and figure out the best way to allow investors to support emerging artists. We need to build a strong foundation first

There will be a secondary market. They are going to launch a trading platform in 2019 where artwork share owners will be able to buy/sell those shares

Yes only 49%. The other 51% remains in ownership of the collector to ensure that the piece is looked after and promoted to increase its value over time.

Purchasing shares from antique arts is something unique.
But one thing i need to ask, can the purchaser of this token to keep the antique stuff?
And what will happened to the value of this coins if the antique stuff get broken?

Yes, the painting will be securities

If you have a bounty available for spanish translation and/or for promoting your project and/or moderate your discord/telegram project channels (in english and/or spanish crypto channels) I would like to reserve it!, this is my portfolio and my previous works and the list of crypto channels where I can promote your project

Please let me know if you are interesting with a pm, thanks and good luck with your project!

The physical artworks is in custody of the art vault who has the legal obligation of looking after it. And obviously there is insurance protecting any damage or theft (which is extremely unlikely due to the high security of these facilities).

Blockchain is essential for the tokenisation of the assets. Also it adds security as the ownership is clearly provable.
I also recommend you to check this out
https://medium.com/maecenas/the-art-token-b179590f54ee

Auction house, art dealers etc. charge too high fees and ART will help avoid those fees, democratise the transactions effectively. So basically lowering the fee is a practical advantage of doing auction with ART.

Yes this is covered in the terms of the SPV when it's created. They know the identity of everyone who co-owns the Warhol so you can never lose your investment due to technical problems because there is an offline old fashioned paper record of it in custody of an official agent.

i’m so obsessed with contemporary art so it is tremendously good news. andy would be glad that his art stands at the forefront of modern tech

So, it is just a basic auction of the ART that stored in the blockchain? But what if the auction was taking bids off?

How many Art Token do I get with 5.000 USD?
-You don't get any ART tokens for $5,000. The investment you make is for fractions of the Andy Warhol artwork.

How the exchange rate between USD and Art token is fixed?
How are calculated the transaction costs?
-Not possible to peg the price in a free market. It's about the cost of transaction really. Each transaction has an overhead and produces a certain revenue. The investment amount has to be above break even.

Is it therefore not possible to anonymously own a piece of art if bought on Maecenas? There is always someone who has the information right?

Looks like wonderful experience of investment. But can I learn more about security of transactions and masterpieces at the end?

They can. But they won't necessarily get a better deal if they want to, because by buying shares they would push the price up

you don’t get what security mean, but there is a safe storage for actual paintings and all possible protection of operations with blockchain

I am a huge fan of art and was so excited to find this platform, where you can see a lot of spectacular artworks and even invest in art to make some money  8)

thank you !!  ;)

Glad to have you onboard Moto Angel. Please join our growing telegram community https://t.me/maecenasart

Hi! where can we see the list of the masterpieces that's about to be auctioned?

Do you have any plans for marketing/community growth?

They have a pipeline of artworks worth circa ~$100m which qualify for the platform.

They have zero plans to create artificial hype. However, they do have a marketing plan to promote the platform and the token ecosystem

 I don’t understand dutch auctions. Can you share an example?

Maecenas have a potential to become the largest decentralize art gallery in the world.

Investing in art is considered a reliable and safe store of value, and it is even more safe because they use cryptocurrency. Love this project ;)

This is one of the best project so far, I believe it will be successful so I will be promoting this and help spread the good news

what is the jurisdiction of project? ??? ???

I don’t know… Seems promising, but why any passerby will put his money into such closed industry?

They will only operate in jurisdictions where we have built a legal framework. Maecenas token (ART) has been assessed by external law firms in multiple jurisdictions. So far, the assessments concluded that the ART tokens would not meet the definition of 'security'

Do token holders pay for insurance?  What happens if the piece is damaged or stolen?

that is the point of whole platform. Anyone can use it, anyone can raise some cash on it

Interest in fine art among investors and wealth managers is on the rise, and younger generations of buyers are eager to embrace art-tech involving blockchain

Sorry but most of the market is monopolized by auction houses and brokers. Or it means nothing to you?

Can the bid be edited or changed after you bid?

The physical artwork is in custody of the art vault who has the legal obligation of looking after it. And obviously there is insurance protecting any damage or theft (which is extremely unlikely due to the high security of these facilities).

No you can’t. All bids once submitted are irrevocable.

looking forward for future artworks to be sold

Can't wait to see how the team will work, I think it would be interesting to be seen because the art is a beauty and good results are also beautiful.

Would it be possible to explain what ART does in each phase?

After the auction, Part of the tokens go to the seller. Others go back into the pool. But they have some improvements in the pipeline for the tokenomics of ART to have further uses. This is just the first phase. We still have much to learn from the market dynamics.

A very useful program for modern schoolchildren especially entrants. I want to see her at work as soon as possible!

when it comes to oil and oil refineries, I believe this is a serious project. I want to see the progress of the days ahead

Good to know that this platform is focused on real people needs and let us to become a part of very closed market. I think there will be a huge demand and lots of clients

I'm really interested in Maecenas projects. But, are there any rewards for holding ART tokens in the Maecenas wallet?

Yes of course. You get 0 % fees on bidding for the auction.

Awesome! and What is the maximum number of participants for the beta auction?

This is a completely new look at investing in art. They have a huge collection of art pieces and abilities to expand it. Definitely worth supporting

This is a private beta for 100 users just to test the use case end to end.

This project is truly a jumpstart of new way of trading art including modern tech and blockchain 8)

What masterpieces you are going to sell with your platform?

Will there will be a secondary market for the artwork shares?

Hey guys! Will btc/eth be converted to ART?

yes, and we used to have only dial telephones. things change, you know. i think that it is very stable and trouble proof market for everyone, so it must be available for everyone

It will be converted using an index calculated based on external market data, calculated at least once daily.

They have a pipeline of artworks worth circa ~$100m which qualify for the platform. Details will be revealed after each auction

Agreed. This platform is going to change the game

Just wonder, what is the exact minimum for investing? I have been reading different explanations - please clarify

I don’t like the fact that all art auctions nowadays considered like something closed or out-of-date. Nice to see that blockchain art auction can be very popular and sufficient.

the minimum is 5k usd in ART, ETH or BTC

I'm just curious if can the bid be edited or changed after you bid?

No you can’t unfortunately

Do token holders pay for insurance? What happens if the piece is damaged or stolen?

I love the idea to invest in art with Maecenas because trading volumes of masterpieces have continued to grow steadily over the last few decades

Are deposits and withdrawals enabled for the auction?

our project looks interesting, but have you any partners, who want to take you offer? i mean, not much people will use your platform in the start, and you should to find another way to advertising.

And what do you mean saying everyone?

art investors, galleries, collectors, enthusiasts
i mean what i said, everyone can exchange shares in paintings and sculptures instantly here

I believe that Maecenas is able to bring art trade and investment into a new era. This project is a future!

Maybe you can explain how exactly is the auction going?

Check this out
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dutchauction.asp

First bids with same price are giving priority. Last bidders have fewer chances of winning.

Everyone pays the same price in the end. No penalty for early bidders, late bidders don't have any advantage, it's actually the opposite.

It’ll be stored in freeport (Refer: http://lexicon.ft.com/Term?term=freeport).
Artworks won’t leave the freeport straight away but it is on its way to achieve freedom. Freeports have a very tight security so public viewing won't be possible, only for investors and guests of investors. However, the artworks could be leased out to museums for public viewing, for a fee, which will then be paid as dividend to investors.

Fine art remains one of the rare few markets that have remained virtually unchanged for the last three centuries, so team of Maecenas created a whole new system that allows to trade even more profitable members using blockchain and cryptocurrency

I was truly surprised that art and cryptocurrency have anything in common and blockchain can improve art provenance

What is the main goal of your platform? For what purpose you created it?

The overall project idea seems fantastic, one of its kind. I believe its going to succeed. I am definitely going to support of this project

Fine arts, huh? I'm excited for this project and I'm definitely going to support it, y'know? With no art there would be point in anything, y'know what I'm saying? We have to show that there's interest in blockchain from the art community, it's gonna be beneficial for the both, alright?

Isn't that anyway the case that the price goes up if a lot of people want to buy? You could have zero knowledge proofs like someone who wants to buy and places an order is not known but the order and the piece of art or the share in that art is known.

Can I use Maecenas platform to get full info about art pieces on sale?

I enjoy the fact that Maecenas can provide possibilities to trade and invest in art works for buyers and sellers directly without intermediaries

The information contained in your white paper useful for every potential investor. I would like to clarify which languages do you plan to translate it and how soon?

This platform can provide the foundation for a secure and efficient market with blockchain so you can invest or trade safely and quickly

Well, finally art is becoming a financial product and blockchain is making it more convenient. I have no idea, is it good or bad, but it is obviously profitable 8)

let me disagree a bit, cause it is obviously GOOD. when this market is not just for a select few high-net-worth investors

It is a bit unexpected to find such a project. Trade, crypto, art and blockchain in one shaker. Hope that your platform will be successful, I see all the background to this

Yes both are enabled but withdrawals are manual, not automatically. They use only cold storage multisig wallets for maximum security.

Tokenization of art in blockchain

Thank you Buzalas. Come join us on our growing telegram community
https://t.me/maecenasart

Hello ComSilver, yes you can use the platform. But you have to be KYCd approved inorder to access full details on art pieces on sale

Thank you Zella. Yes you have a point. The better the interest the better the community

This project is quite new, what is the plan in the future?

ICO done last year around october. They just had their first fine artwork auctioned in blockchain. They still have a pipeline of artworks worth circa ~$100m which qualify for the platform to be auctioned in the future

 Hi guys! How many shares exist for the artwork? How many tokens are capped?

Well, this thing looks very suitable for my investment strategy. But I have some questions

I think it is a right place to ask

I just want toknow what is the major difference from usual auction if I wanna to buy, for example, the whole painting?

If someone were to tokenize the shares of a piece of art (Lets say an Andy Warhol painting).  Who has physical possession of that piece of art?  Who is in charge of taking care of it?  Does Maecenas take possession of the piece?  What happens if that piece of art is stolen or damaged?

you're really gonna buy whole painting?

Any chance project team is making some sort of  interview with team members to boost an investor confidence and to share their vision of maecenas goals?

 Is the ART used for the smart contracts returned as fees to Maecenas?

Hi, I have one question: how the Maecenas trade platform will work?

Like I said - just asking. Not Warhol, but maybe I want something else.

seems too overconfident, but yes, i think, you can just buy all shares. if you need, of course

Hello ecka, One million in total represents 100% of the artwork. So cap would be at 490K shares as max 49% shares can be sold.

It’ll be stored in freeport (Refer: http://lexicon.ft.com/Term?term=freeport). Warhol won’t leave the freeport straight away but it is on its way to achieve freedom. Freeports have a very tight security so public viewing won't be possible, only for investors and guests of investors. However, the artworks could be leased out to museums for public viewing, for a fee, which will then be paid as dividend to investors.

Hey Beahelm, fire it away if you have any questions. You can also join our growing telegram community

Hello Captain Jack. Let me give an example:

Let’s say there’s only 100 shares available.

A bids to buy 10 shares at $200 each. B bids to buy 150 shares at $50 each.

The Dutch auction algorithm will find the best price per share. There’s many algorithms, but the simplest one is to pick the lowest price that sells all the shares.

In our example that price is $50. So A gets 10 shares at $50. B gets 90 shares at $50 each. A tried to pump up the price but failed. However, since A’s bid was higher than B’s, A is first in line to be allocated the shares.

Now, say if instead, A had bid $11 for 100 shares and B had bid $10 for 100 shares. Even though the winning price is $10, it is A who will get all the shares. So there’s an incentive to bid higher to get priority in the line. But at the same time you’ll still be awarded a fair price.

You can also check online for more examples on how dutch auctions work.

But I wonder how can I earn money using your platform?

The team will be very happy to hear it.
Maecenas offers the most competitive costs in the art market, and the Maecenas Platform makes it possible to build and manage liquid portfolios that are supported by art, thus eliminating the costs associated with investing in physical art.

I think it is great to build blockchain art auction on crypto and provide real people with all information and proper price discovery mechanisms.

It would be nice to widen art collection with good old Andy. And no needs to worry about my funds :D

Thank you zhang, here check this out
https://www.maecenas.co/how-it-works/

Will you in future list emerging artists on your platform? How will you price them?

For emerging artists they will have to come up with a completely different strategy. This is not something that they have yet worked out as it's not our focus at the moment.

Do token holders pay for insurance?  What happens if the piece is damaged or stolen?

How long did it take you to finish this masterpiece?

This platform is not only a project that shares the philosophy of Hi-tech, but also a possibility to improve your financial situation, investing in the masterpieces of world art

It is widely known that market of contemporary art is booming. I’m glad that  revolutionary blockchain technology is brought into our life in such a way

I am art freak and I think about buying something, share in Warhol seems like good investment ;D

Maecenas is one of the most promising projects around the crypto-world, because it combines blockchain, auction and art market

Yeah, sure. I always check new possibilities. Art seems very far reaching field

How crypto keys will be used on the Maecenas platform?

Amazing project. It's gonna be a great success. You are doing a great job creating an innovations in art market and medical sector.

enter blockain in artwork a very new project and intelligent system. in this new way, the arts can be increasingly in demand by all people and the faster the success ... when will the bounty campaign begin?

I think that your project is a revolutionary one and I love revolutionary projects. Congratulations on your initiative!

Do you plan to open offline galleries under Maecenas egide?

This project is indeed very impressive; if all information about the project is true then it's good for a prospective investor. All the same, I would keep researching more about it, but so far it's a big thumbs up.

I am a huge enthusiast in everything that related with crypto and blockchain. Never thought that it can be connected with art trade.

You replace the need for trust based on reputation with trust in the decentralised blockchain. Love it  :D

No plans yet. But will look into these in the future

hello Azarola, not sure what you mean by crypto keys. You mean smart contract?

nice ! thanks for the support gast. please join our growing telegram community
https://t.me/maecenasart

And no doubts?

This is totally awesome. I'm glad to be a part of your great community. Your team has many great ideas, promising project and very nice community aspiring to success

I like to see how by connecting artists, collectors and investors directly via an open blockchain platform with smart contracts devs eliminate the need for brokers and art dealers on the market.

Maecenas platform is one of today’s most promising breakthrough innovation in art market, so I’m sure it will be successful ;)

Well, I can see you have some. But for me everything is clear enough - the mechanism is explained, blockchain provides security so devs have all my trust credit

I wish you good luck and an extraordinary and globally success for your booming business ;)

Great and promising project. Looking forward for development of the project and the implementation of the long term plan for the project. Success to the team 8)

I quite remember i joined one of these trading platforms that promises huge profit for a second. You know, i totally lost some huge funds over there. Fine, some folks are definitely making it over there but trust me majority of them are sinking.

No one here promise mountains of gold. But you know about Warhol, you know about raising art market and you know, that your funds are safe. Then you just make your choice

And why is this platform better than Sotheby's ? ::)

Can you guarantee that my investment will be secure and completely private?
How do you protect users' information?

Read previous posts  more clearly, pls. You don’t need to go to talk to people or recruit them to join so you can earn from referral system and have commission. Sweet old auctions is like killing the newly recruits so that the top members of the pyramid can earn blood money from the hard work and sweat of the new members.

agreed
maecenas in this scene is a good equalizer for investors

Very promising project in my opinion. I liked it right away because I read the description and what the dev team plans to do in the future.

You said :
" Andy Warhol’s 14 Small Electric Chairs (1980) will be the first ever fine artwork to be tokenized and auctioned on the Maecenas art blockchain platform from 25th July 2018"

Sorry, I don't have knowlege about art, is it a painting? because the quality of your picture is not too high

I’m not good with technologies and a bit old fashioned may be. But for me it is nonsense - how a bunch of investors can have one painting ::)

I guess platform is a magnificent opportunity to invest in world’s masterpieces. Can you imagine a year ago that you can own a share in Warhol?

Can I ask one question - I wanted to know the maximum hard cap of the project?

So Maecenas is a art investment platform? What services do you offer for investors?

I think this is a good project, a clear direction, worth pursuing, hope the development team can go far in the future.
The main thing is not to stop and step by step to move towards the goal !!!
I wish that at the end of the journey you will be proud of the project you are doing !!

I enjoy projects such as Maecenas cause they intend to connect different parts of art process with blockchain platform.

This is one of the best things that capitalism and tech can provide. If you wanted this Warhol for your ego - well, such project is not your shot. But if you wanted a good investment, you need to look closer.

So this is not about art, it is about funds?   

Marcelo: didn’t you say a few weeks ago there were announcements coming? Or, am I recalling incorrectly?

No auction is fully about art, it is a myth, sorry to disappoint. Galleries is about art, but trading is always about funds. But here you can see both.   

Why exactly Warhol? Why not something more classics?

I'm not sure what will mainstream people and other art galleries think about this idea and if they will accept it, but if a lot of art gets on this blockchain, I can find it very interesting and one can build he's own portfolio with parts of some famous and expensive paintings from all over the world.

Seriously, I read through the whole whitepaper to find the information of why this project is one of a kind, and I'm so glad to be part of this great project ;D

Do I understand correctly that I can earn money if I decide to buy a share in Warhol painting?

Hello
Can you briefly describe all possibilities that your platform provides?

Guess this platform will be very useful for artists and investors. Good to see that market becomes more wide.

This project is legit for sure. The team has been doing business for years and the performance is well. All I am concerned is how much fund it can raise…

I think that Maecenas platform that involves blockchain and crypto is a fantastic innovation for the modern art market

Good day! What is the difference with the Public launch - Q4 and 2019 art exchange launch?

yes correct.

Check out their FAQ Medium Blogpost
https://medium.com/maecenas/maecenas-faq-6bec8ae49997

we have a pipeline of artworks worth circa ~$100m which qualify for the platform.

They are likely to become partners and build good relationships with them. They are mostly creating a new market to cater for players who are underserved. The traditional collectors who want to physically own artworks will continue to use the existing service providers that they have today because Maecenas can’t help them in that regard.

I am so glad that blockchain technology comes into our lives in so many ways - now you can even invest in art or trade it

Who will be able to control access to customers private data?

It deserves a lot of respect - that team decides to work fully publicly with decentralised blockchain and help customers find each other.

Just interested where are you guys based?

Cool project.. will you be storing data on the client side or on the server side?

I think that such a trade is a checkpoint in art history cause now it reaches a new era ;D

Thats what I like about crypto, wide range of use cases and each one is copypasted from existing implementation of the same thing, maybe briefly altered to make it seem authentic. Though trading art remotely can now offload the fees u pay to auction houses for maintenance and evaluation of pieces submitted to them, offload the fees to personal stash of the coin team.

Maecenas is the first step to whole new art market. It is first and largest decentralize art gallery in the world, not bad start, how do you think?

I like the concept of ‘decentralized gallery’ - you can earn on art and own a piece of masterpiece.

I wonder - why they pick up Warhol for the first trade?

It looks very interesting but you have to list on exchanges as soon as posible. Anyway, I will follow this thread and Discord channel as well. Btw, do you have a twitter account, guys?

It is classics between contemporary. and the last one is on the top of the wave

Fair enough. But there is still Pollock, maybe Rothko?

Guess they are too expensive for such project. Here you need something famous and still without sky-high price

I didn't received any email regarding whitelist that you succesfully whitelisted, but I got my secret word, it is supposed to be like that ?

A really cool project that will have a great impact on many areas of life. I will be happy to observe its development

If Maecenas becomes a success, I am not surprised if the value of all the artworks on Maecenas is in the billions. The fine arts industry is huge and Maecenas has little competition in this field. I would consider Maecenas to be a high-risk high-return play.

It would be interesting to know what became an inspiration to create such a platform?

The project team is working on their best work for the project, they want to improve the plan and so that the growing updates can be made to everyone. i think they are busy now busy with ico

I wonder what traditional auction houses think about such initiatives?

Enjoy this platform that is able to nurture new investment network and turn a centuries-old industry mainstream ;D

Hello,  Hello to everyone! I still need to study the whitepaper of this project. But what payments methods can I use in order to buy your tokens for holding?

I think investing in art is one the oldest and most popular and the terms are the best among other ways of investment

I just read about the coin it is really good but u have to make some change other than this it's really good! Firstly i congrats to the team members who are in this
And i wish them all the best ☺☺I'm happy to part of this ☺☺☺☺

Buying and selling art pieces is the best investment in my opinion. Buy a masterpiece when the price is low and sell when the price is high or when you have profit

I consider myself as an art expert so crypto investments seems a bit strange but very intriguing thing ::)

Hi,  the team of this idea is very experienced I think, because there are some advisors from famous technology companies, such as dell, google ... this concept is interesting mix between paypal and cryptocurency ..

Art  provenance
 is an essential factor in determining the authenticity of an

News on twiter

I see Maecenas as a lovely way to make some money on reselling pieces of art. It is very profitable to participate in the world's first-ever blockchain-based auction

Hey,
Well, forum may not be the best solution for publishing news but a lot of people are simply accustomed to forums ... anyway thank you for your efforts and answers here.

Mark my words - this platform has a great future on art market

This project looks very interesting. Everything is backed with the real art and secured not only by the smart contracts but also legal means when it comes to buying art. You can in a way build a portfolio of art that you invest in.

Great project for a clear platform and reliable. I am very interested and will find more information about the project to spread to friends to participate in the project.

All my respects to devs who build a global art blockchain market where assets are traded quickly and fairly

I wonder how you came with the idea to convert masterpiece into smaller digitised financial units that it can be bought and sold easily — literally at a fraction of the cost ::)

I’m trying to understand where those ART tokens are coming from. Are those tokens coming from the unsold portion which remained after the token sale?

Will this project become an avenue for up-and-coming artists in the future?
Or only for established artists and their works?

Maecenas' online platform allows you buy and sale pieces of art on auction based on blockchain. What more do you want?

Hi
Is there someone who has experience in art?
What do you think about Maecenas?

Few month ago I did believe in Ethereum but I start talk with people who work in this sphere and I did understand, that ETH it's worst, what can happend with crypto world

I don't understand the necessity of transferring money to Maecenas for the auction. Can you explain this?

Hey guys. I have been watching crypto market regularly and currently I am planning to invest in something. Do you think that this thing is relevant?

for collectors of antiques, this platform is very suitable that will provide convenience in purchasing, selling and participating in the auction of these antiques. there are many collectors of antiques, but don't know about this platform. I hope this platform often promotes on various social media.

How long will it take for the transaction during tokens purchase on ICO? With the help of bitcoin or ethereum?

Currently, only the rich can invest in works of art because the price is high and it is difficult to obtain financing for the purchase.

On the platform, Maecenas divides works of art into fragments and users can invest and market those auctions. Now we can own a piece of a work of art, while in the past we either had the money for the whole work or we could not invest in art.

just wandering will i be able to sell those fragments to other users in market and one thing will you allow all the share holders to sell that Art work. i mean if we buy at low price and later in some good auction can we sell it.

I think it is, project looks promising and it is basically that art is always a valuable thing

Is there a mechanism for a painting sold for ART to be resold to a single owner. Eg. someone buys shares in the Warhol but loses the private key, how can a future investor fully own the piece?

No wonder that there is a huge interest for this kind of project, as people in crypto are eager to spend their crypto in the fast,reliable and low-fee way. And the offer of this idea might be the solution for that!

Firstly do some research. To put it simply, if you want to invest but you don't plan on doing your own research, then investing is not for you. I did and I can tell you, that it is a good thing. But it doesn’t matter, no one words doesn’t matter, only your own research matters

Can you see how much shares are left and how many are sold?

But what if I want crypto community advice?

Well, I believe this project is a moneymaker. But it is only my personal view ::)

Don't forget that on crypto market favor means a lot - more popular tokens worth more than less ones

Em, not only crypto, situation with art is the same, no?

Blockchain gives more and more opportunities. And here we can see a very good example - platform based on cryptography which gives art lovers a new better way to buy, sale or exchange famous paintings.

Love what Maecenas is doing, but bear in mind in your marketing strategy while you are going to invest.

they both depend on popularity and approval. but here we see that one influence another in both sides for everyone's profit.

Honestly, to me Maecenas is about buying and selling art or investment in it. And of course raising some money on it. But I think it gives a lot to the process of modern art development.

I think many people are interested in investing, but never did because of art market liquidity. That is exactly the problem Maecenas is trying to solve

There is no guarantee of earning money even if art is valued, and it rarely causes losses if the fund does not work properly.

Would be possible to look at the painting before the auction?

You should know that nowadays art market is one of the most spreading ones, so I’m going to try Maecenas platform to contribute to the development of modern art market.

These guys develop blockchain art auction so you can make investments in art. It is truly amazing :D

So is this an art related thing or what?

Technologies spread vastly today and now we can make investments in art with the world's first-ever blockchain-based auction of fine art. Not bad.

Now it is impossible to imagine our life without a cellphone and in the near future both crypto and blockchain will share its fate

why do you need blockchain?

Recently I made some research for different ways of buying art works and couldn’t find anything better than Maecenas. I think it means something.

I can’t understand why blockchain technology is needed for this project?

Do you have any video interviews? It would be quite appropriate on YouTube. So more people will learn about the project and will join

I think this is a good project and has a bright future, however they need to have a good strategic partners to make sure this will run smoothly

I think in the coming years, the blockchain will be everywhere in our lives . I agree with you art is always beautiful and art associated with modern technology in a double fine

Just curious what was the inspiration for the name of the project?

A new promising project! hopefully this project will provide something new in the science and medicine area.

I really like the feature that allows people who are interested in art, to get access to various investment opportunities across the entire platform, to manage their funds

Does Maecenas has mobile app?

Can I get prediction about the risk of disease as well as info about preventative measures?

I'm interested in the idea of your project. Tell me, what is the minimum amount necessary for the successful implementation of the project?

Alright, I'm going to ask you this, what does this project gain by using the blockchain technology? To say it in other words, how vital do you think it is for Maecenas?

It is the first educational institute dominated by art & finance with both industrial depth and global breadth in Asia-Pacific.

Sure art is a great investment. I guess the best thing now is to use something like blockchain based auction.

Regimes fall every day. Art is timeless. I need no other reason to invest 8)

Just curious what was the inspiration for the name of the project?

I am big fan of art and definitely crazy about everything crypto related. So I enjoy such platform, thanks a lot to devs

I adore big art projects, even more when their commercial plans helps to develop the whole market

I looked up your website and found the project interesting. What payments methods are appropriate?

I don’t know the real technical thing but my friend advised me to invest in this, hope for the best. Looking to learn more...

Maecenas platform for art investment is designed to provide fault tolerance, recovery mechanisms, upgrades and incredible scalability

Art topics are very close to me. I am glad that among the thousands of projects Maecenas platform is really necessary and useful to modern culture.

When we are speaking about crypto, this is not only technology, this is more point of view. Maecenas platform for art investment touts itself as a blockchain platform that, according to its creators, will democratise access to fine art. And I totally agree.

Indeed this is a great project... When I first saw it, I had no doubt it will break even and exceed expectations 8)

I do believe that with Maecenas help blockchain and digital scarcity to create a massive market for digital art and crypto collectibles.

Did you know that investors in this platform will earn dividend income if the artwork they have invested?

A good project, the idea will be useful to many people. I think this project will be successful because of the professional team and experienced advisors

I studied the documentation for the project and I really enjoyed it. The list of team members and advisors is impressive. I also follow the news of the project.

Currently there is no way to trade shares in the art market before Maecenas platforms was started to make art investment be available for everyone.

I have been following the project for a some time, and I have to say that this project has revolutionary concept and great team to make it real

Do you have any competitors in this area? If yes, what are your main advantages over them?

D'you think that, provided that this whole thing works out just fine, we'll see more art-related projects in the future?

Fascinating that now Maecenas looks to become a stock market for art works where all crypto investments are clear and efficient. I think it is magnificent.

Our everyday life is more and more for millennials so old-fashioned auctions soon will be replaced by such platforms like Maecenas that gives you a possibility to trade art and invest in it in cryptocurrency.

More people should get acquainted with this project so it'll be great if we help spreading the word about it

I truly believe that blockchain and cryptocurrencies can make art market transparent and more democratic ;)

This is a great project, I like your ideas! Waiting for the news from you. But could you clarify do your team have enough experience for projects like this?

Hello
Tell more in detail with whom you have already managed to agree on the partnership?
This information would be very important for investors

I studied the project documentation and I liked everything. Now I'm thinking about investing some money

Hmm very interesting concept....
I just wonder how you will prove yourself better than any other projects out there
Especially with ones that related to contemporary art and have similar concept

Do you have any significant partnerships? Can you tell us?

Hmmn it's took me for a while to do some research about this project. I'll keep an eye on it for developments and updates

Hey guys, i was wondering why we need to use blockchain technology for this project and what purpose does it serve?
maybe i missed something, but im not getting a clear picture.

it's probably the best project out there, considering quality of the team and idea itself ;D

Do you plan a partnership with other developers and art market organizations?

If you always wanted to afford yourself even a small share of any world’s masterpiece, Maecenas can give you what you want with best terms

Hi, what are main advantages of owning your token?

Just finished reading information about this project. It is the worthy project! The target audience is defined, the market is not overcrowded. Developers do not hide their faces, it’s inspiring confidence. I look forward to further development 8)

Interesting and much needed project. We will see its realization later, now everything depends on work of the team. And we need only to trust and wait.

Guys what is the best way to get the latest news about this project? Telegram group?

I think that this project has a strong team, which has experience for future development of Maecenas project

After this news I would like to become co-owner of Picasso or Dega ;D

Not the first project trying to bring all blockchain benefits to art market. Success depends of many factors; no one can guarantee success of this project. Anyway, at this crypto-fever age, such ideas are quite fresh and it's definitely better than another exchange or wallet

I have read half of your whitepaper, looks like you set a very difficult task to complete. But after that I saw your team, and this is outstanding. Hopefully you guys will lead this project to success

This sounds like really great project with a lot of potential. Huge art trade area is waiting for innovation, but there may be fierce competition

I think that an excellent project is impossible without an excellent idea, and you definitely have one. Believe in your success 8)

It seems a very good project to become part of it, it seems that it have a lot of potential, I will stay in touch in this project

Ok, this looks like it has great potential, can you tell me more about your partnerships if there are any?

I wish your team success in the developing and I'll keep my eyes on you. I saw here a lot of interesting and useful projects, but yours is a real diamond! I'm sure that you will succeed ;)

The idea seems quite challenging but nonetheless achievable, especially with such experienced team

My friend told me about this project and that's why I am here. I have been searching for art-related projects for a while and this is what I am really looking for. I truly believe that it would be a successful one. I will keep coming back here to keep track of its progress. Good work!

What else your gallery includes ? Where can i take a look at smth if ?

I follow your project with interest. It looks like an exciting project, if you work hard enough I think you will succeed

For a long time investment in art was a privilege of wealthy people but now with the help of Maecenas everyone has such opportunities. Isn't this great?

Are there any conferences or showcase of your team members where we can actually meet and discuss with the team?

Will your service use cryptocurrencies only? Or fiat money, too?

Could you briefly explain what is your service do exactly?
What is the point of your project?
And where can I find news about project?

Art market has stayed relatively unchanged for the past three centuries but now there is Maecenas platform that brings art investment into whole new level.

Fine art has long been considered a reliable and safe investment asset class and now it works even with cryptocurrency, believe it or not

There are a lot of auction houses in the world but none of them is suitable for usual people. And Maecenas project decides to change it.

I like this project and wish this will be great. Looks very imposing! I am interested in details of using smart contracts in your project. Where can I look into?

What is the practical use of your token?

Do you have some video or something - about how it works?

Over the last few years art and blockchain have reached the potential to significantly improve global market and culture That’s why this project is quite extraordinary and definitely be demanded

What about security? Could you tell us in details how security of our trade information will be provided?

An excellent and very perspective project with a wonderful team. It is the project for the future, so do not miss the opportunity to participate in it

Do you plan to create a mobile app?
It would be very convenient solution

I think it's obvious that security any finding information must be the top priority

Yes, I agree. Nowadays all data about money are an increasingly popular target for hackers.

Will tokens be usable within the project only? Or they are exchangeable?

The lack of cooperation with the community is a bit confusing in such a beautiful project. The idea is working but wonder with whom can talking about the code? Do you have a repository where you can test it?

Hey guys!
Very interesting project i’ll keep my eye on it.
I have one question - can i buy your tokens without using eth wallet?
thank you

When you think about art investment instead of having to invest in a short- or long-term art-secured loan you can use Maecenas platform to buy a share of it in tokens and make a good investment this way.

Your finances were never such convenient and safe as they can be in art investment on this project 8)

Art is becoming a financial product now, and blockchain is making it happening more convenient and profitable for everyone.

I hope this project will be supported and succeeds! Good work, keep it up! Can you link me your roadmap? I want to examine your plans more closely.

How many tokens per 1 eth?
Could you please answer?

Your project will surely get a lot of investors and supporters because it is unique and I am sure many people will be interested to be part of it. By the way, is there any plan to give airdrops or bounties?

How will funds raised from token sale be used?

Have you been reviewed by any of the YouTube bloggers?

What number of the tokens from the total emission was reserved for the members of the team of the project?

Beta platform is ready, but what are the other arts we will see, after the Andy one?

A really cool project that will have a great impact on many areas of life. I will be happy to observe its development

If you think that Warhol painting is too expensive for you, you will reconsider that, mark my word

I think that Maecenas art auction is a new step for popularizing blockchain and digital scarcity and of course modern art. It gonna help to create a massive market for digital art and crypto collectibles.

I believe that blockchain can make art market transparent and more democratic

I like the idea of the project. It looks massive. But I'm concerned if you guys can pull it off…

The project is great, I really like the idea. I have just one question: what is the minimum investment? Could you please answer?

Ur project seems to be very reliable but I'm curious if your company officially registered somewhere?

How can we be sure that trading information will be kept safely, confidential and used wisely? Can we somehow control the usage of this information?

Ur project is superb but from my point of view it needs more promoting. What are the next event are u going to participate? It will be helpful in the way of spreading the word about project

How many tokens will be allocated for the team and advisors? And will they be locked? U know it is quite important now

Quite a project. I think it has a lot of potential and it can compete quite well with other similar projects in medicine area. I hope this project will have a more exposure to the community. Seems like it is not getting much attention.

Hi. How are u going to be profitable? I mean how the project is going to bring the money for founders? Maybe I missed smth, thx in advance for the explanation.

Now it is irrelevant to keep money in the banks when you can invest them and raise some profit 8)

When it comes to investments, almost all ways are difficult and very bureaucratic. But when we speak about Maecenas art auction thanks to blockchain all process becomes very simple and clear.

I wonder if cryptocurrency has already become our present. Now imagine this: you can raise funds and invest in fine art. Like, right now.

The future becomes the present! Art investments are everything for me. I really enjoyed this platform, it's called Maecenas

Ur project seems to be very reliable but I’m curious if your company officially registered somewhere?

A really cool project that will have a great impact on many areas of life. I will be happy to observe its development

I love art and I had a great investment experience with Maecenas. That's a way to support the novice artists btw ;D

Who will be able to control access to customers trading data?

Art is a common heritage and even one investment can help to pass it on to the next generation and that's important. I guess, Maecenas makes a great improvement on the market now

Anyone know if Maecenas are likely to be listed on any exchange beyond HitBTC and Idex? Volume has dropped off a cliff over the last 3 months.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/maecenas/historical-data/?start=20180723&end=20181023

Just interested where are you guys based?

I think this is a valuable project which can stand out in the crypto world. Keep it up! And I 'll be looking forward to see the development.

It's probably the best project out there, considering quality of the team and idea itself. You have great potential, keep up the good work ;)

Fine art is a fine investment, right? But what's important, now you can invest in cryptocurrency. Sounds crazy, I know, but you just go and check this Maecenas thing.

Wow. They just deactivated their website and their marketcap has shrunk to $400k.
Any news from the team ?

Sounds like y'all got scammed for $25,000,000 and yet no one cares, nothing in the media, no posts on reddit or wherever.

The project was interesting though.
