Bitcoin Forum

A lot of people, including me, have some questions about this new launched token.
Well, here's an overview from their FAQ section.

ALL ABOUT POW 'LITE'

WHAT IS MY POWTOKEN.COM ACCOUNT FOR?
Your POWtoken.com account is for sending and receiving POW 'lite' to and from your friends. Initially we have integrated with Facebook, but will soon roll-out more social media platforms that can be used. All the free allocations of POW 'lite', are simoultaneously represented by a real ERC20 token on the blockchain. These real ERC20 POW tokens are held in a single ETH account on the Ethereum blockchain. Your individual holding of POW 'lite' is kept track of using a centralised database and is 'off-Blockchain'. The POWtoken.com site operates that database and gives you access to your POW 'lite' and the ability to transfer it to friends (currenctly restricted to your Facebook friends, but soon to be including your friends on all the major social media networks).

ARE THERE ANY FEES?
There are zero transaction fees on transfers when you send or receive POW 'lite' between other POWtoken.com account holders. At some point in the future we may introduce a small fee to cover the running costs for the centralised servers. If POWtoken.com proves to be a massive success, the costs of a centralised server could be start to be quite large and will require a small fee to be added to each transaction. This fees would likely be just 1 or 2 cents per transaction which is still a fraction of the costs of making similar transactions on the Blockchain currently.

CAN SOMEBODY SEND ME POW IF WE ARE NOT FACEBOOK FRIENDS?
No, but there is a simple solution - send them a 'Facebook Friend Request' and as soon as they accept, they can log back into POWtoken.com and they will see you have been added to the list of contacts that they can send POW 'lite' to. In the next release we are planning to allow users on POWtoken.com to send POW 'lite' to other account holders who are not their Facebook friends - this will for instance allow you to be paid for service and goods from people who you do not know.

CAN I SEND POW TO A SOMEONE IF WE ARE NOT FACEBOOK FRIENDS?
No, but there is a simple solution - send them a 'Facebook Friend Request' and as soon as they accept , log back into POWtoken.com and you will see they have been added to the list of contacts that you can send POW 'lite' to. In the next release we are planning to allow users on POWtoken.com to send POW 'lite' to other account holders who are not their Facebook friends - this will for instance allow you to pay for service and goods from people who you do not know.


CAN I SELL POW 'LITE' FOR CASH?
Not yet. But our plan is to build a 'bridge' between POW 'lite' and POW ERC20 by December 2017. This bridge will allow you to transfer your POW 'lite' onto the Ethereum Blochain where it will becom POW ERC20. You will then be free to sell your POW ERC20 for cash. So, in the long term, the answer to your question is yes.


WHAT IS POW ERC20?
POW ERC20 is an Ethereum Blochain asset or 'token'. Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency on the planet. Ethereum is slightly different to Bitcoin in that it is designed to allow 3rd parties (such as POW) to create 'Tokens' which piggyback on the Ethereum Blockchain. It means that you get all the benefit of a Blockchain, without the need for creating a network of miners to keep the ledger up-to-date. Of course, the miners have to be paid, which is why transaction costs on the Ethereum network are actually quite high. Our innovation is to 'lump' all the users accounts together (rather like a nominee service does for equity holdings) and keep them on a single ETH address (ETH or Ether, is the currency of the Ethereum Blockchain). We then get really creative by issueing the users with POW'lite' which they can trade with other POWtoken.com account holders, with zero transaction fees. The POW'lite' collectively add up to the total number of POW ERC20 being held in the single ETH account designated for this purpose. As we talk about elswhere in these FAQs, the plan is to create a bridge between the POW'lite' world and the POW ERC20 world, by December 2017.

really looking forward to this coin doing well. I got my airdrop share yesterday.

Seem very organised so far hope sky is the limit.

I got mine yesterday through the airdrop. Hope it works out like they predict. Thanks for the airdrop.

Yeah,sky is the limit since it has really a big total supply and also when i tried out to register on the site for airdrop they do require for fb which is a red flag for me specially when it ask some permissions regarding on my fb account which i didnt tend to allow such thing and i have passed into this airdrop.

what will be the benefit from using both centralized database and blockchain?

YOUR BALANCE: 1,229,558 POW 'LITE'
(Currently worth: 116.92 USD)

The first public claimant will get 10b POW 'lite'. After each claim, the amount of POW 'lite' that the next user gets is automatically reduced. So by the time you get to the 10th claimant they only get 1billion POW 'lite'. When you get to the 100th claimant they only get 100m POW 'lite' and when you get to the 1000th claimant they only get 10m POW 'lite'. It carries on in that manner.

Cool numbers. You are giving away a million dollars for the first person and a bit less for the next one, carrying on in that manner. What is this worth based on?

What's problem with the website?
"You don't have permission to access / on this server."

Unfortunately I don't use a facebook so couldn't register but send a link to my family member today and he got little more than 700k in tokens. I agree that airdrop is well organized. I did register a facebook account but couldn't participate since my account was created today which I consider a good sign and necessary to prevent fraud.

Is it possible to use a CT Token, in combination with US Quarters in my Self-Serve Bays?

i've got some Milion, now we wait for the funcionality!

ok,got them pretty early

hmmmm...is this safe? I mean with presents I am cautios...

on my way to sign up, I unticked the boxes (friendslist & email) that are not "required" to be ticked and then the next page shows:


Sooo, what they want may friends-list for??  :-\

I got POW from the airdrop .. Thanks for your kindness dev

this never will be in the stock market?

how im tradeing with it hav 33.003.330 token
want sell 6.000.000

Seems like a cool token. Got a few million for free. Even if this turns out to be a scam, what do I have to lose? Loving airdrops like this one, DeepOnion, Decred etc. I love how it is possible to make huge profits with zero investment through airdrops.

Definetely interested in this coin. Pretty active on social medias and might be a strike. Good luck with it.

this needs lots of marketing. hoping forward to see a successful project.

Brilliant idea, got my POW coins a few days ago. Thanks for the airdrop and tons of luck, guys, the brains you seem to already have!

How many people di they get them until now? Are there still people claiming the airdrop? I'm asking because the more people will claim the POW tokens, the higher the probability that this coin will be successful and valuable.

21,264 already claimed the tokens.

YOUR BALANCE: 2,584,647
the question is ... can we sell it ?

Have participated in the airdrop but don't know how to get it, I just have a snapshot from a facebook page claiming my POW, how would I save it?

To send and receive the POW lite coins?

Seems too good to be true but with it given free there's no harm in trying it out

Seems they are in the process of making the website functionality for transfers between users but as to selling it in exchange it may come a long way

According to the plan, the tokens will be transferrable between facebook friends by tomorrow October 10 2017.

Fingers crossed.

site is down now.....

Site is running fine.

they postponed for 14th  ;D

What is worst case for this project if one signs up with facebook? That these guys have ones public info?

Don't really see the use case for this token tho?

I see they've shifted date to 14th Oct...

Still keeping fingers crossed and watching to see what happens.

Can this POW token be redeemed into a currency like any other token?

Tried it now. Up and running

Just noticed that I need to wait until 14th of Oct to be able to send the POW tokens to my FB friends.... (they are not even displayed in powtoken.com, but they suscribed to airdrop).

The initial date was 10th Oct, isn't it ?

The main features (transaction?) is not even working ? I'm little bit worried about my ~50 000 USD   lol

There is nothing to lose with this token, if it works out, that would be a plus. But if it doesn't, then everyone returns to their normal life. :D.





...I really wish it works out.

I think there is a limit in claims in originating IP. My IP was banned last time when i made multiple claims for my friends.

fingers crossed... just regret not being the first recieving that airdrop !! ;D

i thought they will claim it faster

hoping forward to see a successful project... i have mine but not that much

I genuinely don't know what the benefits are of doing an airdrop nor do I know where the value comes from. Nevertheless I got myself 300k to test things out. Right now they are worth around 850$, I'm pretty sceptical that I will be able to get 850 for it though. Will see if this will become the easiest 850$ I've ever made.

where can we check the market price of this coin? Based on my account, it looks like my airdrop coins have nearly 4x in value now! I understand from FAQ that we can't sell this yet, but how is a market price determined then?

Ok I understand now, my account now says "based on live prices from etherdelta"

how to send tokens to etherdelta? nothing happens when I click on the send tab.

sorry, so the token traded on etherdelta is the ERC20 token, but the token given in the airdrop is POW "lite" - are POW lite tokens going to be converted to POW ERC20 tokens in the future? Where do the current ERC20 tokens on Etherdelta come from?

I also have joined the airdrop, I log into my facebook account it seems they update, we can send our balance to our facebook friends, just wait for the next update.

Sure, but where do the ERC20 tokens trading on Etherdelta come from?

A new coin that i received from one of the airdrops that i have participated. Its only 20 POS but i never thought its base value would reach 1$+ since it was listed in the market. And recently, i just missed the 2nd round of the airdrop. Hopefully, i can join the next airdrop and i think that this coin will have  better future in the next days to come.

I was the top 30! Hope this project does really really really well :)

I hope this coin same as stellar on the moon , everybody sound like win lottery with this powtoken

please add withdraw button  ;D ;D ;D ;D so we can circulate pow

I am keeping an eye on it. I wouldn't call it a scam but i am a little skeptical about this one. Let's hope I am wrong because I have quite a stash of POW tokens. I think it will important the bridge to ERC20 token on ethereum blockchain

Hey!
Signed up the website and invited 4 friends of mine like a week ago. I am sure they signed up (they sent me a pic)
However this is what I see...
YOUR BALANCE: 0 POW
(Currently worth: 0.00 USD)

 Yea whats going on? I sign up for a referral and my coins have been received then they are taken back out by Pow allocation.

Anybody know what time the twitter airdrop is for POW

How to withdraw PoWtoken ?

Does anyone know of plans to list it on any exchange?

In the long term, the answer to your question is yes but we need a bridge that will allow  to transfer  POW 'lite' onto the Ethereum Blockchain where it will becom POW ERC20.

I have received 2,658,867 POW Lite tokens before. And i have big dream with my POW tokens. I hope POW will actually be claimed in December. And I hope there is no dumper among POW users. Because POW has a good project.

What do you mean by needing a 'bridge'? Is it simply getting listed on an exchange or is it a more technical solution you need?

now im down to 100K Pow. Maybe I'm too late for this. Still, I look forward on what will happen to the future of POW. Goodluck devs!

do you really think 100K tokens are few? Lol

I mean that I understood that Powtoken needs a blockchain to transfer to an exchange. Powtoken transaction are offchain in a centralized database to  increase speed.

I am curious who's the first one claiming the facebook airdrop, they said first claimant got 10b token, holy sh*t!  :o
My 4.5m token isnt really useful against it LOL

At 4.5m :o, I already envy you  :D I got less than 100k, but it's increasing through referrals. I'm really looking forward to when it can become useful.

I really hope this will be turned into a token

I got POWER from airdrop.Thanks POWER LEDGER.
Hope It will hit the top 50 soon with that Charging station news in the end of the 2017.

wow nice looking forward to it

so any news about this token? like when is the exact date for processing these tokens to be able to claim in personal wallets? please advise @dev

Hi...Dev,how about bridges from POW LITE to POW Token?

how do i know if I got the POW lite tokens.

I'm a nube in crypto world and this is my first Airdrop ever. I was pretty overwhelmed when I claimed less than 100k tokens coz for me, it's already quite a lot. It's normal to feel envious of the early claimers who were able to get millions of free tokens, but I'm already more than fine with the amount I received. Had I known that Airdrops are this awesome, I would have participated in each and every single Airdrop there is. lol

I'm pretty much excited about this token and I'm truly hoping that it'll succeed according to what the developers hope for it to achieve real soon. All my best hopes are with you, POW LITE team.  ;)

You just have to login in the https://powtoken.com/ website through your facebook and/or your twitter and you will see if you have any Powtokens, and if you have not you just can claim then at once.

Same thing i have in mind. I was able to have may pow token using my facebook and twitter account but i dont know i should i be able to transfer them in my wallet. Well i guea i should wait for further announcements

More and more holders of POW tokens each day. And every day, the amount of POW that can be claimed is getting smaller. It also affects the price of POW tokens that I see dropped dramatically. For 2,658,867 POW'LITE, it is currently only $ 105. However I hope this will go up when entering the market.

I understood that soon it will be possible to transfer the lite tokens from the twitter accounts to the facebook accounts. In december they will all be converted in ERC-20 tokens and you can transfer them on MEW or wherever.

Maybe we can take a look at this and participate their airdrops if still open for new comers.
Actually POW tokens is now rating a high value in the market and it have capabilities to compete others.

refer to a lot my fb frends but not getting  the referral reward. got problem?

Are there planned airdrops for other social networks, Reddit etc?

I notice an interesting contraddiction between the adoption base of POW token (last time I've checked it was over 50,000 people) and the shortness of this thread.

Seems to be a few threads here on POW now, but the numbers over 100,000 holders now and think a lot are outside of the general crypto community which is good. The idea launching through FB and now twitter of course was to reach a wider audience than keeping it just to the users of this type of board/community. Still plenty of POW Lite to claim so should see these numbers climbing again,  :)

Bridge is now looking to be happening from 15th January onwards, a lot of developments in the pipeline, great things coming up, check some of the other threads here as well.

Currently, airdrops still on for Facebook and Twitter, the main program is work on the bridge to the blockchain, and then other dev's for transfer of POW lite between platforms, busy times but all good for holders of POW, spread the news and referrals will earn you POW also!!

Good going Sarah, we're working very hard to make sure a success, don't forget to use your referral link to make more POW as a bonus, thanks for joining with us!!

What's the news on Pow Lite Token. When will we be able to use the token. How can I start transferring to my friends in facebook and other areas ?

Bridge to blockchain looking to rollout from 15th January 2018, can already send to FB friends who hold POW lite, after holding poll on twitter majority of holders wanted the bridge facility online first, the rest of transfer abilities will be rolled out after this.

I am looking forward to this POW Token.. I hope this Token will change our lives..  Thank you POW for this Hope..

When do you think this POW Token will go on exchange? Where can we actually sell these tokens?

Hi Psyvortex, the devs are hoping to have the bridge to the blockchain online from mid to late January, this is of course dependent on it running smoothly and also securely, after the issues with hacks on exchanges etc, security is a high priority, Thanks

hi, i got some powtoken with my twitter account. But i dont know how to send it or sell it?
how can i do that?

Hi there, you will be able to exchange your POW lite to POW ERC20 on the blockchain towards the end of February, thats the target time, then you will be able to trade POW, thanks

Bridge is now looking to be happening from 15th January onwards, a lot of developments in the pipeline, great things coming up, check some of the other threads here as well.

Please see post above, Bridge targeted for late February, many thanks for your support!

what is the purpose of using centralized database and blockchain at the same time?

POW DEV'S UPDATE

Hello POW People, a lot of work been going on as you are probably all aware, please see the link for more detailed information on this, again thank you all for the support and helping build the community, FANTASTIC!!

1) Beefing up site speed/capacity is current focus 2) Facebook validation process upgrade 3) Bridge 'bumped' to late Feb...

Bravo to Devs working flat out and making incremental improvements!

Full details here: https://powtoken.com/blog_post_15_01_2018.php (https://powtoken.com/blog_post_15_01_2018.php)

can i send this token to my mew wallet?

seriously? i hope it becomes possible.... i am also curious about the functionality of the token.

I would like to ask people who are competent in Emercoin (EMC). What type of mining devices it uses (ASICs, CPU or other)? Is it profitable now, and what is the perspective of this coin in future? I know that this coin exists for a long time, has a practical use and i think that it will gain momentum in future.

Thanks a lot to share this information to us! Are there any other planned airdrops for other social networks or bounty?

nice question, on site there are these faq:

Not yet. But our plan is to build a 'bridge' between POW 'lite' and POW ERC20 by Feb 2018. This bridge will allow you to transfer your POW 'lite' onto the Ethereum Blockchain where it will becom POW ERC20. You will then be free to sell your POW ERC20 for cash. So, in the long term, the answer to your question is yes.

Anyway in such case the coin could have a revival now seems no more then 150$ are traded in a day.

HELLO,

what does that mean, where are my tokens?

017-12-04 10:33:35   Transfer   Alexander Gerhard Boes   POWtoken Free POW Allocation   56,895
2017-12-04 10:28:53   Free POW Allocation   POWtoken Free POW Allocation   Alexander Gerhard Boes   56,895


Thanks

The bridge was announced fro December and then postponed to February. NOW we are in February, if they will postpone it again we can conclude that they don't really know what they can do and what they cannot do, which is not very encouraging for the success of any project.

Hi, The bridge is on target for the end of February which as explained was the time the delay was until, the tests are going great and test transactions running smoothly and of course of huge importance securely. Community growing well also, over 310,000 claims now, which of course adds massive value to any crypto currency. So spread the news, get your referrals in as amount claimed everyday is dropping, thanks!

This "bridge" was announced for December 2017 and then it slided to February 2018 - which is now. Any news about this becoming actually real?

EDIT: I have just read that it should happen at the end of February.

Thanks, that's a good news, if the roadmap will be respected. I a surprised on how the hype about this project has evaporated meanwhile... this thread is basically hybernated.

A lot of places where there is a lot of discussion, apologies mostly updates posted here on this forum, FB, Twitter, telegram, reddit etc active communities, thanks

I hope that 'bridge' between POW 'lite' and POW ERC20 will be finish soon, because I like this project and I want ask is there any bounty maybe for this token?Thanks

This is in every sense of the word a shitcoin so far. The only difference between other shitcoins and this is that this is not even a coin yet, just some points collected on a website. I doubt it that they'd ever be on the ethereum network. Despite how easy it is these days to implement a new token there.
Anyone know who are the developers behind this? Was it even wise to type that question in plural form?

Suggest you go read the white paper, FAQs and the website, I won't even attempt to answer your post, but once you do that you'll realize you have to look further than the end of your nose to find answers, and the info is out there, thanks!

Bridge Update

All Dev's working hard, aiming for 28th Feb launch of 'The Bridge'. We may miss it by a few days as we need to make sure is 'bullet proof'. Next step is Rinkeby network test.
Proposed Limits:
Combined (all users): 1bn POW/day; 
Individual: 1m POW/day.

On issue of limits. Primarily, security is the concern. The Bridge smart contract holding the "float" for daily transfer from POWtoken to Ethereum network represents max loss in event of "hack". In this worstcase 1bn POW loss would not be lethal.

Technically in this moment this coin is just a record in a database. However, as far as I know in a few days the "bridge" for converting this not-yet-coin into a fully legit ERC-20 token should go live. THEN it may start to become really interesting, because of the very huge adoption base.

I really wish it works out.

we are so close ... As we talk about elswhere in these FAQs, the plan is to create a bridge between the POW'lite' world and the POW ERC20 world, by Feb 2018.
Yes it could be a nice way to link in a real world adoption, and of course they have a strong user basis in South Asia and in some European Countries.
Price it's really cheaper, around 80% down from the maximum but if they create these bridge, a lot of people could sell their token for a cheap price, and a lot of tokens already distributed will not redeemed by no one, just because they haven't any information about decentralized exchange.
Let's see maybe this is another bargain coin like Nano (ex raiblocks :) )

16th and still no bridge.

There's no use having a project if you've basically pissed away every ounce of confidence people had in your project with these delays and empty promises.

That's true. If you are not able to keep your promises it is a wise attitude not to make them. Failing to deliver every time at the dates you promise just shows people that you have no clear idea of what you are doing and that you have a very wrong perception of your own capabilities, which clearly is very bad for any project.

will that bridge ever exist?

They posted a few videos of the bridge tested on the testnet over a month ago, but after that there was no updates on the current situation of the development.

Hopefully they will hurry up, because I got 200k of the POW lite tokens.  :P

It was said to be February the bridge will be finished but still we have no more info yet until now. But to be among the first who received billions of tokens must feel great! I hope it will have a really good functionality later on. The idea is good enough to get attention and I expect the team could really deliver it

Since POW was first launched here on Bitcointalk I think it would benefit the community growth if they would regularly post updates here as well.

I second that.

lot of time and no progress so sad for that

Unfortunately I was not with you at that time, if only at that time I was with you there might have been a time when I could make a profit.
The rest of the way the Etehreum works is easy to understand by many people and I love it.

Exactly one year has passed since the lauch of powtoken and the team has still not been able to transform their numbers in a database into ERC tokens. Goive up all your hopes, you fools.
