I am not sure you really need your own token. "allowing individuals to track their donations" is doable in every single non-privacy based blockchain, including every single ECR20 based token. Why do you need your own token?

I feel the same way.
There are a lot of currency and token.
We are going to widely utilize that.

They want a nice Xmas gift with our money...how many shit ICOs....

I really don't see a reasoning behind this ANN, these problems are already solved with conventional aid agency procedures :-\

You don’t need you own ledger to do that. You could create your own ERC20 token, for example, and track the transactions on the existing ledger.

The only justification for creating your own ledger is that you want to minimize transaction fees.

I think this is nice Project sir! Reserve indonesian translation if needed

The team looks very young and active. Social projects need to be supported.

Yes, they should be supported... But not to create this project... They claim that the have raised $10 million for different charities. That is nice performance, they should stay with fundraising and not coding tokens.

It may not be the finest association to be seen in connection with the former Italian prime minister/president, for any organisation - but besides that I love the idea here! Will you get partners/charitable organisations to connect up to your platform in the future or will you mainly run your own campaigns and pay them out to different charities?

Is that the real team.. or is it just random pictures plucked from the web?

I would suggest to put some kind of contact details on your website. At the moment the only way to contact you is Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.. It is on the very bottom of the page.
Do you have a phone number, office address, charity registration number? It could be your Italian one, it wouldn't matter, but would help to make you more legit.

Thanks all for bringing up great questions and discussions here about Aidcoin. Here are Q&As to questions.


Q&A

Q: Why do you need your own token?

We need our own token for a series of reasons, below the most important ones:
A) Nonprofit is a particular sector with specific dynamics, so the idea is to create a token that is easily identifiable with the industry
B) We want to be independent from other currencies in terms of image, monetary policy, price dynamics and future technological choices
C) We aim to align investors and donors motivations, and leverage positive and charitable behaviours from the different actors involved in the cryptospace
D) The token is used to pay our commission on CharityStars, AIDChain and AIDPay
E) Tokens holders will be able to vote on future decisions regarding how to use AIDPool’s tokens that will be used to increase platform adoption among the nonprofit sector.


Q: Why do you need your own ledger?
We are creating a platform (AidChain) where every charity and fundraiser organization can easily register a verified account, linked to a specific public address. In this way we are able to track donations transparently.

Will you get partners/charitable organisations to connect up to your platform in the future or will you mainly run your own campaigns and pay them out to different charities?
Charitystars will continue to operate its business independently, but we will be the first to integrate and accept AidCoin. AidChain platform however will be open to every charity or fundraiser organization, and our aim is exactly to boost the platform adoption.

We are a real team of 25+ in 3 countries. We've updated our website on Aidcoin.co with links to LinkedIn profiles & background.

Our Social links are now at the top of the page. For legal contacts please refer to our CharityStars website see link below

why is it neccessary to invent your own coin???
there are so many now :(

Were is your WP?

Hi Dev,

I'd like to translate whitepaper to Romanian.
Please let me know if you are interested.

And, please tell me if you have a minimum investment.
(I'm interested investing in your project)

Thank you

This project is very good and has a noble purpose that provides transparency in charitable activities in cryptocurrency. will be very easy when applied to charitable activities

Please read our Q&A.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2347477.msg24144771#msg24144771


Thanks! We will be posting further updates & developments as we go. More exciting news to come.


Thank you very much. We've done work through CharityStars, and we will continue to leverage that into the non-profit & charities by bringing them into the space.



Hi David,

Our Whitepaper can be found here:

Here is an update on our upcoming Token Sale & the overview.

Our Pre-Sale is starting next Monday November 20th  

Read more about it:
http://bit.ly/AidCoinOverview

Making money while helping in the same time. I like where this project is going for investors.

How would you describe what this token is used for a regular person on the street?

any bounties ?

Does the token itself offer any innovation, or is that mostly focused on the platform itself?

Has Aidcoin filed for any patents yet?

Who from the team will be primarily handling this thread?

This is a very informative article, thanks for updating!

Curious about this when you guys get a chance to answer some questions.

They might be taking the day off since it's a US holiday.

Actually I have a question about this. I see the absolute maximum, but what would you say is the minimum possible to keep Aidcoin viable?

Do you guys have any partnerships at the moment?

curious

Yeah it's actually something you can feel good about morally while also feeling good about financially lol.

This is a good question, I'd love to read about some big partnerships.

Okay AidCoin, Thanksgiving is over. Put the stuffing down and answer some questions! lol

Assuming they're even US based.

AidCoin is a token used to donate easily and transparently through blockchain technology and to access a network of services (AIDChain and AIDPay) specific for the nonprofit organizations.



Not yet, but we will comunicate something soon!



AidCoin is a standard Erc-20 token so the innovation is related to the services (AIDChain and AIDPay) that we are developing on top of the token.



No at the moment.



For the moment I will be the one handling this thread.



We have set 4,000 ETH as softcap, which is actually the minimum to start developing the project.



CharityStars, the company launching AidCoin, has already raised more than $10M for 500 non-profit organizations. We are leveraging these existing relationships to spread the adoption of AidCoin. Stay tuned!

What kind of services could we expect to see with AidPay and AidChain?

Cool, as long as there's innovation in one or the other, I don't think it really matters. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Are you on the team page?

4000 does seem like enough to get the ball rolling. Good luck to you guys!

So you have some things you plan on filing patents on?

Great job responding to all the questions so far. This is an interesting project and I look forward to additional updates. Good luck.

I love this idea. Trust it is a major issue (I use to fundraise for non profits) for donors. A lot of people don't donate anymore because their afraid of all the "scams" and its never clear how much of their money is actually going to the cause. This is awesome. good luck with this! I truly hope it succeeds! I think someone asked this but does the token have room for innovation?

Have you reached out to any charities at this point?

My thoughts exactly. It never ceases to amaze me just how scummy people can be. They're literally taking food out of starving children's mouths, and feel nothing.

Is this an ERC-20 token?

So what happens to any unsold tokens?

?

social media bounty?

This looks interesting, nice project.

I'm also curious about this.

Leeiam, are you on the team page?

 ???

How do you guys plan to market this?

Thnaks to Reseve Arabic WP translation.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xknyui3n9ipxu5w/EZmarket%20Arabic%20White%20Paper.pdf?dl=0

AIDPay is an exchange payment gateway that allows charities to easily integrate and accept donation in crypto. AIDPay converts fiat and the most important cryptocurrencies into AidCoin, providing a tax deduction receipt to donors.

AIDChain is a blockchain platform that allows donors to track donations, and charities to verify identity and manage communications. AIDChain will be able to track both on-chain (AidCoin) and off-chain (fiat) transactions, thanks to the integration with the charities bank’s API.

Great! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Okay, so AIDPay is pretty much like an exchange?

And AIDChain is like a blockchain explorer?

Actually I do. The last ICO I went into heavily didn't seem to do anything to discourage people from dumping at the first exchange. Do you have any plans to deal with this?

What happens to the unsold tokens?

It's own exchange would be nice. What kind of information would need you register to get on the exchange?

I don't believe this was ever answered.

If it is it's own exchange, I would absolutely love it if they had minimal information requirements to get on. Joining a traditional exchange is such a nightmare.

Still looking for someone to answer this.

They're super busy I'm sure. I read earlier AidCoin just partnered with Bitcoin Suisse.

Disregard this actually. I see it now.

Charitystars looks nice, how'd you guys meet?

Hi Ankara, the token is a standard erc-20, so the innovation is more related to the ecosystem of services (AIDChain and AIDPay) that we are developing for the non-profit sector!

Yes! Thanks to our existing relationships we are already speaking with charities to present the project and make them part of the AidCoin ecosystem!

Yes AidCoin is a ERC-20 token  ;)

Tokens are minted when ETH are sent to the smart contract, therefore unsold tokens are actually non created.

Thanks for the support and to have add us on your app! Congratulations for you projects, seems really interesting!  ;)

We will announce something very soon, stay tuned!!

Mainly through partnerships: we have already worked with 500+ charities (e.g. Save the Children, WWF), high-profile corporations (e.g. Mercedes, Armani) and celebrities (e.g. Cristiano Ronaldo, Eva Longoria). The idea is to leverage these existing relations to spread AidCoin adoption.

AIDPay is a payment gateway with an integrated exchange.

AIDChian is a blockchain explorer but will also be a platform where charities can verify their identity and communicate directly with donors.

We have a post ICO announcements plan that we believe will help increase interest on the project and therefore value of the token.

CharityStars is actually launching the token and is developing the AidCoin ecosystem  ;)

In this article you can find an overview on blockchain technology applied to the non-profit sector and why AidCoin is the most simple and transparent solution to donate efficiently, boost charity fundraising and reinstate trust in non-profits.

https://medium.com/aidcoin/aidcoin-bringing-blockchain-technology-to-the-charity-sector-e7ce77380d83 (https://medium.com/aidcoin/aidcoin-bringing-blockchain-technology-to-the-charity-sector-e7ce77380d83)

If you change crypto to AidCoin no information will be required. If you want to receive a tax deduction receipt for your donation, you will need to provide more information.

That's a great start. If you could have any charity join your platform first, who would it be?

Have you guys been to any blockchain conferences?

And to change fiat to AidCoin?

What is your relationship with Charitystars exactly?

Oh wow, so they're made on a need basis only? Don't think I've seen this before.

We've been to several around the world from Blockcon to Blockshow asia and more. If you'd like to meet us and talk here is our roadshow:

https://i.imgur.com/t0XSS6K.png (http://aidcoin.co)

Any relatively obscure favorites of yours?

Oh that's awesome! None in the US huh?

Still wondering about this.

This would really help with inflation, right?

Are they just partners?

AidCoin is conceived and developed by CharityStars 

Basically the result is as if the unsold tokens would have been burned, so less circulating supply.

I hope a big one  ;D

It depends on how we are going to integrate it, but basically we need to be compliant with AML rules. We are currently evaluation different options.

Love that project. This has all my support and I will buy tokens on the ICO! Actually I also had a pretty similar idea but never knew how to put it in action. Really cool to see that a project like this is emerging now!

This actually one of the most innovative ICO's to occur in this last quarter.Bringing non profits to blockchain.Good luck to all Team members.The Project will surely become a success

I liked the idea of ​​the project. Charity is good and necessary. I will follow the news of this project. I think that the team will succeed.

I've been donating to the Internet Archive the last few years. https://archive.org/

It's a strange one, and maybe doesn't directly help people as much as others but I still feel like it's an important endeavor that often goes overlooked.

I was so pumped to read that you guys had partnered with Bitcoin Suisse.

How big is the team now?

One thing that makes me hesitant about donating to charities are the huge loss of collected funds to administration and corruption and theft. How will a token prevent that? I mean someone in Africa will need hard cash in order to purchase anything. He will not be able to do that with a token on a blockchain these next few years atleast. So with or without this token same thing will keep happening as it has always happen. We donate and alot of the funds go to places it is not supposed to.

Oh okay, that's great. What experience does CharityStars have? Or are they a new company?

Which means more value per token. Any other practical effects?

we have a very dedicated young team and very real .Kindly visit our website and check out the teams profile

Currently we don't need Romanian Translation thanks.
Minimum contribution is $1,000 equivalent. You can contribute in ETH, BTC, USD, EUR, CHF, GBP, DKK, and SGD
Price: 1000 AID = 1 ETH

CharityStars is a well-established, VC-backed charity fundraising platform. Our team of 25 professionals has raised over $10M, working with 500+ charities including Unicef, Save the Children, Emergency and WWF. Our core competency is combining the power of technology with the ability to forge high-level partnerships between charities, high-profile corporations (e.g. IWC, Mercedes, Armani) and celebrities (e.g. Cristiano Ronaldo, Eva Longoria, Lewis Hamilton).

For more info: https://www.charitystars.com/

i don't see any link about your 3% bounty link , hope it will be available soon

and i am very glad to join if possible . the idea of the project is not bad, :)

good video. How are you planning to advertise?

AIDChain is a platform that tracks AidCoin donation flows. It will be acces-sible to anyone - even to those with limited tech skills. AIDChain will be able also to track fiat money flows thanks to the integration with the banks’ API, providing a full transparent picture on how charities are using the funds. Moreover, charities can use the platform to register, verify identity and manage communications with the donors.Thanks to the Ethereum blockchain, the combination of AidCoin and AIDChain will provide transparency in the non-profit sector, allowing individuals to track their donations along the chain. AidChain will show all the data related to a donation and linked to the block-chain by providing a receipt of each donation, which can then be held as conclusive proof. Each receipt contains: donation amount, timestamp, donor address and name (if public), recipient address and name.Hence someone in Africa can easily receive Aid.

Thanks for your support nedjuly.Please make sure you partake in our upcoming ICO on the 15th of December.Pre-Sale was already successful.

The value of the token is actually the same, whereas market cap is lower given less circulating supply.

They managed more than 20 ICOs, raising $500M + so they definitely have experience on the sector!
In addition, they allow us to reach people that are new to ICO and crypto, since they accept contribution also in FIAT currencies.

If you mean the video, you can share it yourself if you like it!  ;)
With regards to the project, we will exploit CharityStars' existing network of charities, celebrities and high-profile companies to boost the adoption of AidCoin as the preferred method for donating transparently.

Thanks for your support Marco!

:) :)
Its about time we give back to society and the emergence of blockchain and smart contracts has really been of enormous help.Leveraging its success in generating millions of dollars in charity auctions, CharityStars is raising funds to reach the next level of its ambitious vision: bringing blockchain and crypto donations to the nonprofit sector.

Oh really, you guys have some patents to file?

Yeah they had me convinced of their capabilities when they raised $200m+ with Tezos.

This is great news!

I really believe having patents filed not only shows you have innovation, but you also have the foresight to recognize the value in your own innovation, and the drive for success to ensure no one else can take advantage of your hard work. Keep it up!

Very impressive, thanks for the info.

Will there be any way to earn AidCoin on your platform without outright buying them?

I have visited the bounty thread of this project, but only a little token allocation as a reward, but on the main page say 3% for bounty, this is very inconsistent
Why you say 3% for bounty?

I think this is a great way for the crypto world to also give back to society.
I love the idea, I'm a big fun of this project.
i will buy my tokens as soon as ICO launches.
I wish you the best of luck.
 

Yes you can earn AidCoins by joining our bounty campaigns
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2502746.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2502746.0)

Keep patience, you are too late to join in PRE-SALE. So,you need to wait public ICO on december 15th

10M token sold in presale. I wish you all the best and success your project dev.

we have allocated up to 1.3m usd in rewards for our official bounty (approximately more than 3%).I believe this is one of the best packages our project is offering its honourable bounty participants.

I think it would be great if the allocation was more than 3% and that could attract participants to join the prize campaign program. hopefully project can be successful and can get big profit.

I think everyone working the bounties would agree with you.

Do you have any venture capitalists on board?

I must be confused. If you make more tokens for the same market cap, would that not decrease the value per token? I'm saying since you're only making as many as you're selling, the value per token is obvious. But if you stored twice as many tokens as was sold for other uses, wouldn't that reduce the value of each token by half?

Is the roadmap still looking realistic? No deviations?

5, 10, 30? :)

Charitystars is venture backed. With regards to AidCoin, we are speaking with different funds but can't say more right now.

What kind of smart contracts do you think AidCoin will implement?

AidCoin will implement smart contracts based on ethereum blockchain.Implementing smart contracts in the nonprofit sector adds a layer of security and effectiveness to donations, allowing the transfer of funds only to expected recipi-ents and if specific conditions are met.

Didn't I read somewhere people will be able to move their funds from one charity to another if they don't like they way they're spending it?

we have an established, proven team that has been in this field for many years and coupled with experienced Advisors within their respective fields.
All these collectively come together to form the entire team.VIsit AidCoin Website (https://www.aidcoin.co/) and read more about our team

Will you post here when you find out what is going to be done with this?

Oh 20 is pretty big actually. Are all of these people focused and working full time on Aidcoin?

Is this Charitystars first big project? How long have they been around?

CharityStars has worked with many corporations, including Hugo Boss, Citoren, Yamaha Racing, Armani, IWC and Peugeot, proving itself as a preferred destination for CSR activities. The organization has been around for sometime now and has worked with several celebrities and well established philanthropist.

We have a very dedicated team ,focused and working full time

Just curious why Facebook and Twitter campaigns are closing before others? Not getting as much out of them as the others?

That's so much better than I could have even imagined! I assumed this was just some no name group coming together to try to make a quick buck. CharityStars do seem like genuine pros now that I research them though. Very excited.

Do you have any estimates on the current valuation of CharityStars?

Is this baseless rumor?

Wow, 20 people working full time on this? That's some dedication. You guy should have no problems hitting your objectives on the roadmap.

We needed a required number for such categories and for now the limit has been reached

  Yes we have $10M according with the last equity round of 2016

Whether the project will be extended for the next few months.

I like when a project could be in use not only for a profit but for a public good.
AidPay could make a signification different on how are people donating. For example, for me it's hard to donate in many causes I like because I'm using mainly crypto payment and they are using mainly fiat bank transfers.

oh..i love this romantic view of the blockchain/crypto community. token for charities  ;D

Christmas is near and we all are opening our hearts :) The best time for charity ICO.

I will invest some if the f** CryptoKitties frees the network.

I see on the ANN home page, the prize for bounty is 3%, but why on the bounty page is very far from what is on the home page?
In fact it will not reach 0.5%, I hope dev is consistent with this ;)

I think dev needs to have a statement in order to give an explanation of what the actual allocation is 3% or 0.5% in order to be clarity and not to confuse participants.

According to our calculations we allocated 3% of total tokens to be sold .The figure on bounty thread is a close approximation.
Thanks for alerting us .we will work on it and bring out the actual figure.

Oh nice, congratulations on hitting the goals. I hope they're bringing in as much traffic as you had hoped for.

Any idea on a current valuation of CharityStars?

I was also wondering about this. It must be quite high with all they've accomplished.

Still in the dark on this one.

Do you guys have any patents?

Hope you fix this as soon as possible
and if there is a mistake can you change it before bounty is finished?

We are glad to announce that total bounty will be  3% of total supply of tokens.Hence shares will be allocated based on total tokens sold during ICO.

  Yes we have $10M according with the last equity round of 2016

Can you think of any features that might be introduced after launch?

Oh wow, that's not just an estimate either. That's a fact. Very nice.

That's great news, I should head over there and get in on the action.

Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking of, and exactly what we need in this field. The amount of money given to these 'charities' and the amount of help used for this amount of money are completely disproportional. A smart contract system like this would do wonders, and keep charities honest and running lean.

Really curious about this, I think it's a great indicator of innovation.

What patents?!? do you think a charity venue needs? Did you see any other ICO offering patents?
I think much more important here is to see full transparency.

I see ICO's with patents all the time. If you have an original idea, and true innovation, why would you just give it to your competition? You really never heard of an ICO getting a patent?

Some have it some don't. As long as your code isn't opensource, it's pretty difficult to reverse engineer something with even a moderate amount of complexity. I suspect a lot of ICO's get patents to make it sound like they're doing more than they really are.

What sort of growth rate do you expect for Aidcoin? Do you believe it will be the predominate form of charity donation eventually? How long until this becomes a reality?

Will you be launching mobile apps for Aidcoin?

I see this as more of a technology than a charity venue. I think charity is great, but I'm here to invest not donate ultimately.

How do you plan to market Aidcoin?

They pretty much have to these days. They would have to have a pretty good reason not to if they didn't. Especially with the potential uses for this coin being more in 3rd world countries. Many people in these countries don't even have PC's.

Really need to know about this before I'll be able to invest.

I definitely agree with you, I just like to hear it from the horses mouth. :D

Hai,


     1st i really thank your these concept ,      

 ( AidCoin is an ERC20 utility token that allows people to donate to charities while easily tracking their donations on a public ledger (AIDChain). AidCoin also allows charities to integrate a donation button (AIDPay) on their website that enables the acceptance of crypto currencies for their fundraising campaigns. People can donate in any crypto currency or altcoins that will be converted into AidCoin at the current exchange rate.The online donation market is $15bn in the US alone. The rapid adoption of cryptocurrencies will definitely impact the way to donate in the future and AidCoin is set to play a leading role in this new era of fundraising.  )

very good and better idea.Now i hope AID coin future is very clear.


Thank you!

So no proprietary assets then I'm assuming?

So ICO is postponed until the 16th, so there is still plenty of time to do the promotion, and if all goes smoothly hardcap will be achieved quickly, this project is very promising

I can imagine blockchain disrupting the way donors keep track of funds distribution. Currently the transparency of charity ledgers is disturbing.

Hi Celestio, we are not planning to file for patents at the moment.

 

Yes the idea is to have both a website and a mobile app for the AIDChain platform.

It is clearly our aim and our vision to make AidCoin the preferred method to donate transparently through blockchain technology. We are developing a solution that really helps solving problems currently present in the non-profit sector, so we believe it will be adopted both from charities and donors.

Obviously blockchain technology and crypto in general are just at the beginning of their development and mass adoption will require time. However, we strongly believe that this will be the future, so being the first mover on this sector gives us a strong advantage.

Is this true? What was it postponed?

That's good to hear, thanks for the answer.

I don't know of any other charities working on anything similar. So you guys don't have any competition in this regard?

Perfectly fine. Your idea in and of itself seems like plenty of innovation.

That's a great argument for your own case. No estimates on the time frame for adoption though? It's really hard to tell in this field, so I can understand your hesitancy. This last year, in the crypto world, has felt like a decade in just about any other market.

Sorry, I meant to ask 'Why was it postponed?'.

Personally I think 2018 is when people really start to catch onto crypto. The last half of 2017 saw a whole lot of new people, and they're going to act as just a precursor wave of the tsunami that is mass adoption. They'll go tell all their friends, and then those friends will each tell 4 more.

I'm curious what sources you guys use for keeping up with trends, whether it be in the crypto space or charity related? I think a team is only as good as their information gathering abilities, so what sites do you guys use to keep up with trends?

I think this might be an underrated question. People dedicate their entire lives to trying to maximize getting the right knowledge at the right time. For me, I set up a series of Google search alerts. When I set them up, there's nothing much for the google search, but if I suspect in the future there will be something I want to know about for that exact search phrase I set it up. Sometimes it takes years, but when it does get on google I get an immediate email telling me something I wanted to know about is only a click away...

Can you think of any mistakes you guys have made that you have learned from since then?

So it is positive that ICO will start next year, and not so on December 16th.
This further gives us signature participants a chance to collect more coins

Why I just found the right project charity?
I think only this project is reliable. After seeing your ANN Thread, my heart is tapped by people who are not yet independent.
Will it support people all over the world or in certain countries?
I think you know the humanitarian crisis in the middle east :)

I really hope it won't be limited government interference.

I think this is a solid vision and I like it, however I dont understand why there are only 40% of the coins availible for the public, while %10 are reserved for "advisors", I dont get the role of them really. As this is a charity coin, shouldnt it be rather shared with the community (even if its for sale) than to make the rich richer? Correct me if im wrong please. Just my first thought when I saw the token allocation.

Team alone is not enough to make ALTcoin or a project last long, advisers are also needed even good advisors can be more influential than founders

Where can I store Aidcoin on the web? Can I use myetherwallet? I know ICO is done on eidoo platform but i do not usually use smartphone app.

There has been a large amount of interest coming from all fronts and as we talk with institutional investors, we believe that by delaying the ICO, we can deliver the best value for early backers. With institutional investors and partner organizations joining the ICO, we aim to add fuel to AidCoin’s success. This is together with the ability to increase our marketing effort which will drastically impact the ICO and provide AidCoin with the tools to disrupt the charity sector.

Competition is in the eyes of the beholder  ;)
We are not aware of anything similar but we would welcome healthy competition as a mean to achieve further innovation in the non-profit sector.

The idea behind this project is very great, nonprofit cryptocurrency. I am ceryain that this project will be useful in the general public.

Thanks for your positive comment on the vision. In regards to your point and to expand on what aysha9853 said, advisors have an invaluable role in the success of the ICO combined with their ability to open doors for partnerships and drive fast adoption amongst the crypto community; they are therefore fundamental to develop the project and pursue our vision.

With regards to nonprofits, we follow sector publications such as Nonprofit Quarterly and Look to the Stars, specific sections of major publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian and Huffpost, blogs and medium of charities, associations and foundations.
With regards to cryptoland: classic publications such as Coindesk, Cointelegraph and the Merkel, medium and personal blogs of crypto influencers, tailored newsletter (highly recommend Token Economy).

What about your sources guys? Any suggestions?

For sure time really seems to pass faster in cryptoland than on any other market.. We believe it will be a monthly timeframe (6/12 months) to spread AidCoin adoptions to a core base of donors and Charities. However, to answer your first question (becoming the preferred method for donations), timeframe realistically will be years, since it will take time for the technology and cryptos in general to go mainstream.

any mistakes you guys have made that you have learned from since then?

The project is definitely developed with a global vision. Obviously the initial focus will be higher on specific countries where we can leverage CharityStars existing collaborations (in terms of charities), but AidCoin has absolutely no boundaries  ;)

We are expert on the charity sector, crypto was new for many of the team members, so for sure we made mistakes, for example in some aspects related to communication and marketing. However we really believe in the "lean" approach, so it is part of our culture to do things, make errors, learn from them and quickly move on ;)

ICO will be managed by Bitcoin Suisse, so you would be able to participate through their platform. AidCoin is a token based on the Ethereum blockchain, so you would be able to store it on any wallet supporting ERC-20 tokens.

Great answer! That's a very diverse source base.

That's all you can do really. Thanks for the answer.

That's a very charitable outlook you have.

I'm glad to see you have a realistic view of the market. I can't tell if some ICO's are delusional, or just trying to make their ICO appealing at the cost of honesty.

Tell me please, I understand correctly, that the bounty campaign will begin on January 16?

Actually first phase of the bounty campaign will end tomorrow. We will soon announce more information.

Check the article written by AidCoin CEO for Nasdaq.com:

"Rebuilding trust in the non-profit sector through cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology" (http://www.nasdaq.com/article/rebuilding-trust-in-the-nonprofit-sector-through-cryptocurrencies-and-blockchain-technology-cm891615)

Nice article, he's obviously very knowledgeable on the topic as well as in touch with the common persons view in his own field which is more rare than you might think.

Do you think the institutional investors will buy out the hard cap before a lot of us smaller guys can get in?

Is the information up on the phases, or that's what you're alluding to with the last sentence?

So how does the relationship with Charitystars work? Did they hire a team to work on Aidcoin, or contract it, or just do it in house?

Is there any estimates on the value of an Aidcoin a year after launch?

maybe you can see here https://www.aidcoin.co 1,000 AID = 1 ETH and every year can increase.

Hello Dev


The features of this project is promising and assuring that this project will make a big success in the Cryptocurrency world.

I am supporting this project

Doing it in house with some new hires ;)

Thanks for your support William! Let me know if you have any question ;)

Price is always difficult to estimate and honestly is not our main focus. Our focus for the first year will be to provide a solid and functioning platform while increasing adoption among donors and charities. We believe this is the best way to increase the value of the project and of AidCoin itself.

I think 40k eth cap is pretty insane. Lots of more established projects gather less money :)

This argument has never really made sense to me. What other projects do you know of that are trying to change charity? How can you compare anything else that isn't even related to what Aidcoin is trying to do?

What kind of fees will be involved with buying and using Aidcoin?

Very good, may I ask who from the team were new hires and who were already working with CharityStars?

Good question, is there any other way you guys plan to make revenue?

I guess that does give a baseline, as long as you don't expect either of them to fluctuate much. Which seems like a silly thing to expect.

Thank you for your prompt response. I am waiting for information.

Are there any?

Do you have any idea on the demographics that would be using Aidcoin?

How much do you think will be spent on marketing in the first year?

Your project is a great idea! In my country, now, there is also no possibility of transferring the crypto currency to the purses of the charity fund. I have many times asked to create crypto-currency wallets so that I and my friends can connect their capacities for mining. But only one promise!  Maybe they will take an example from you!

What country is this, if I may ask?

It seems like with something like this if you could get people to adopt the tech, you could scale it so easily. Even with a hundred thousand users, I don't really see you needing much bigger of a team. Am I right?

Congrats guys on your successful pre-ICO and the Bitcoin Suisse partnership!

8,333 ETH is just a start, I wish to collect at least 10 times more during the ICO!

wow bitcoin suisse partnership is a really big deal. This almostensures the success of this token sale! Now I have my eyes on this project and will spend the time to look at the documentation!

I know you guys are busy with the success of the token sale. So Just whenever you get a chance.

This exact post was made only a week ago, and answered too I might add...

Assuming you hit your hard cap.

Are there any regulatory risks with this?

I am interested to join this project. Whether the project is still running? or the project is over.

The economic model of AidCoin will be a mix of fee and staking to use and access the different services provided. With regards to the fees, you will pay a % on the transactions made through AIDPay, our external payment gateway. To access the different services of the AIDChain platform instead you will need to stake AidCoins.

All the people you see on the team page are already working with CharityStars. We integrate them with a couple of profile specifically to manage the ICO.

We are redefining and reviewing slightly the white paper in order to explain clearly AidCoin economic model. We will share it with you soon ;)

Please check the bounty campaign group: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2502746.640

The first phase of the bounty campaign is closed, we will take some time to evaluate how the bounty have worked out for us and eventually decide what to do in the future. However right now we believe we should focus on other marketing activities that could help us spread the project and reach in a more effective way the future users of the AidCoin ecosystem: donors and charities.

Anyway, thanks for your interest!

Initially they will be very similar to the demographics of cryptocurrencies' users

It depends on the total amount raised. We will allocate around 20% on communication and marketing overall. With regards to the amount allocated on the first year, It will depends on many things such as the product development progress and the numbers of charity on board; for sure we will invest on marketing activities to spread AidCoin adoptions among donors, at the same time we don't want to waste money till the basic infrastructure will not be ready.

Regulatory risks are related to the crypto market as a whole rather than the AidCoin project specifically.

Thanks for your interest! ICO will start on Jan 16th.

Okay this makes sense. Any estimate on how much the fee will be for transactions through AIDPay?

That would be great. It's a good sign you guys are willing to go back and improve on policy.

20% sounds like a good number. I think marketing is one of the best things you can invest in. I think there's also a point of diminishing returns.

Okay nice, do you know where they were recruited from? Just curious where you can find a high quality team like that these days.

Do you agree this would be easily scalable?

That's just my opinion. But I think a lot of people think the same actually, so please consider this argument. Good team? Good marketing? You really need that much money for that? Make several rounds of ICO maybe...

Not yet, we will have to test different options to set the right amount in order to ensure platform sustainability.

They had previous positions and experience in other ICOs.

Our smart contract is set in ETH, when we structured the ICO the price of ETH in USD was different. We will continue monitoring the situation and eventually evaluate whether to make changes.

We will probably need to integrate some local resources to the business development and marketing team.

Yeah it's a very delicate number. Even half a percent off could be detrimental.

What kind of smart contracts do you guys plan to implement?

We will provide charities with templates of smart contracts that can be easily customisable depending on each campaign’s requirements.

I have seen too much projects about charities but Aidcoin seem difference, they made some good partnership with Eidoo, bitcoin suisse. This project's aim is very nice i hope ico result also will be very very nice.

Hi Mela thanks for your support! Tell me if you have any question ;)

Very good project! I believe that this project will be able to realize its idea.

Aid did a really amazing job, how can you get listed on bitfinex just after ico?
Is there any other floor listing for Bitfinex? I can not trade on bitfinex

A good project with humane idea. Glad to participate in your project. Looking forward to listing on other exchanges.

Sounds interesting, tokens for charitable purposes. Thanks dev for the project. I will follow it for sure. Please update more information about the project.

Are that Aidcoin only can trading in the Bitfinex in this moment?  It seem Bitfinex only allow the user who have holding the capital over the 10000USD for trading.

Hi Billy, right now yes but we are working to be listed in more exchange soon. We will keep you updated!

AidCoin (AID) is now LIVE on the Bancor Network for continuous, decentralized and automated liquidity: https://bancor.network/discover

A good project, moving forward. It's good news that AID already trades on Bancor. I think that soon there will be even more exchangers

 it sounds interesting and such a tokens for charitable purposes,i think  a lot people want to invest in this. thanks dev for the project. i will follow it for sure. please update more information about the project.

Where is the coin planned to be used? only in charity?
Can there be any places to earn this coin?

Not good to Aidcoin in this time, they only few amount of trading volume in recently, they price keep dropping after ICO, any new announcement about it now?

Yes, the coin market is really in a bad state. I don't know how long it will last. I hope it will end soon.

I love how Internet Charity is so obviously a good thing. You can judge people's basic morality by how they feel and what they think about Internet Charity

AidCoin performed 18% below ETH. Once the platform will go live and big campaigns will start to be announced, I don't see problem to recover and overperform eth! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi guys! I participate in your project and constantly watch the AID currency exchange rate. I'm glad that now the market is going uphill and the AID course is moving in the same direction. I look forward to new exchanges and good news from the team.

 When are you planning to launch embeded widgets for charities to integrate the donation button into their donation pages?

I’m actually a bit worried about the aid cap and price. I believed in the project since the ICO, but, are you confident about effectiveness of your strategy? Thanks. Canya contest announcement had zero effect, I hope the next ones, expected from you business plan, will be more effective.

I have the long time have monitor in this thread, today I have found the Aidcoin have listed in Ethfinex, but I don't think it can increase the trading CAP in this exchange, the less than 1000USD USD equivalent need the deposit fee, if you have not deposit first, you can't checking the market trading record, sorry! I will skip it and wait for the next exchange better.

I'm glad that now the market is going uphill and the AID course is moving in the same direction. I look forward to new exchanges and good news from the team. Thanks!

Aidcoin (AID) added to Bittrex exchange

Congratulation !

Wish you very happy trading !

What value in satoshi cost the sale in ico? Please.

I see the price is half of ico price, this is the right time to buy cheap. I am sure the price will return to ico price in the near future.

Hey. Please tell me what the price was for the ICO. I bought some on BITTREX yesterday for the price of 3100 Satoshi. Interestingly inexpensive I bought?

Bittrex listing, good, good news. Could somebody please remind me what was the ico price in USD and ETH or BTC? Thanks!

6000 Satoshi.

Thank you, sir. So you can still buy until the price soared two or even three times.

Great News.
AID trade on Bitfinex now !

There are many coins aimed at the charity industry. Although this coin looks well developed, what is the main advantage this coin has over other charity cryptos like 2GIVE.

So far I like their roadmap and strategy, but do they have anything proprietary that makes them stand out?

this is exactly the same as the liveEdu project, where users are banned from discussing prices on group telegram, liveEdu has 17k members on telegram but the communication is so quiet, and the price drops 90% from the ico price slowly, I see it exactly like this project. :'(

Good project! But what makes this project different between other similar projects?

True enough but please be more specific in your question  ;D ;D

AidCoin Listing exchange IDEX

It's great news that two more stock exchanges were added this week: Upbit and IDEX. Last week, added Bittrex. Early exchanges were not enough. Now we will soon see an excellent result

This news is great. And I think the price of$ 1 we are not forced to wait long!  I'm sure

Bought 2600 HODL 1 year  ;D

You jumped the gun a bit of course bought at the price of 2600. I think the price will soar sooner than one year

AidCoin Listing exchange etherdelta
https://etherdelta.com/#AID-ETH

If you do not announce beforehand when Q2 is completed
, this will not give the impetus for progress, the shrinkage of donors, holders, capitalization, purchase, and community evasion. There is nothing in the media
Releases of other startups oglshayut for a couple of weeks / months and called the date and constantly illuminates in the media to attract potential donors

What survey are you talking about? I missed something or did not read I think. Could you please throw me a link?

Dear developers please tell me where did the additional several million AID tokens come from? There were 37 million was $ 42 million

I see that this project has success in the sale of coins, all information on this project is very transparent so it is very easy to monitor the progress of this project, where the exchange of coins?

I invite the community and the administration to vote and burn half
because the coin is excellent but it lost 300% of the price per month

The co-currency is not transparent, the administration of the project prohibits users from communicating in the official telegram to the users, does not say what happens to the coin, at which stage the road card, some unsubscribes, no reports, exchange questions or why the shares fall 100% a day in the community , just skip photos as they walk on different events.
I ask you to voice the official point of view of the project administration, for the exchange, for the price, for how everything is being generated, and not only is silent

2000 sats  :o

0.00001985
And all because of the non-transparency of the administration, that they do not listen to the community, that they do not add exchanges, do not release the product and do not even say when it will be

Since ICO :
USD $0.53 -71.43%  
ETH 0.0005 -49.8%
 ::)

Since ICO :
USD $0.53 -74.2% 
ETH 0.0005 -52.2%
 
Soon -100% lol  :D

Dear friend, you frighten me! Where did you get the information that this project is a Scam? I will be glad to any proof

Why are you so sure about this? The fact that the sales volume is falling still does not say anything. I think that the situation will improve later on

I love corporate charity vengefully due to my deep-seated hatred of communism. Every time you donate to corporate charity. A communist gets bothered by the local cops. It's science.

$15M ICO sell-out in 90 minutes in January, charity interviews set up with the creme de la creme of crypto and mainstream celebs, yet a measely $3 million market cap and I can't even get anyone on the phone to learn more about the company and decide if I want to enter into a large position.

Tough love from everyone on this project going forward -- THEY NEED IT -- and no more typical crypto niceness

Something not happy with me the price of the coin that rolled to the bottom. The last growth was observed only in may and then the price only fell and fell. How someone feels will be her rise or her you can forget?

This is a deep sadness with the fall of the price of tokens on this project but do they not have a new plan to make prices go back up.

There is at all what the news from developers? Maybe they have something to please coin holders? Does anyone know if the telegram has activity in the group?

There is only one way to visit their telegram group to know more about what will happen to this project until now. There you can find out what has happened with this project.

I have these tokens. I watched as they gradually fell in price. Now their cost is very small. Maybe someday their price will increase.

Very little hope to see prices will rise again at this time because almost all Altcoins experience a very sad downturn.

The price have raised to $0.075642 USD today, and the trading volume from 140,400 USD reached 791,056 USD in last 24 hrs, I think this is the good news to Aidcoin, but the price still fell below the ICO price.

This token will likely see increasing volume and use cases as 2019 proceeds, with an economic downturn looking ever more likely on the global markets and decreasing funding from the US sources of charity COMBINED with the recent uptick in expansion and adoption of blockchain based solutions for real world problems. There's no doubt in my mind we have a winner here. As always, don't invest more than you are willing to lose and tread carefully. The huge spike in volume that occurred with this token a couple of weeks ago was likely a very large investor getting on board. Just watch for similar price action for confirmation.

I said half a year ago that it was a fraud and not a coin, so it became it dropped to 1 cent, sell faster until it becomes 0, and buy neo right there, return your money and make x20

Hi, have there been any recent updates or work in developers github?
This one https://github.com/AidCoinCo/aidcoin haven't been updated since 15 Oct 2018.

What is the official plan for this year or is this a dead project?

I observe that recently the price of the AID has increased slightly. Of course, the previous price is still far away. However, there is still some movement. Not enough activity in social networks and here
