ICO completed. You can already find it on etherdelta - you need to do the follow to see it:
In the box where you select which token you want to trade you need to scroll to the bottom and select "Other"
Then enter the contract information below: contract address: 0xEA097A2b1dB00627B2Fa17460Ad260c016016977 name: UFR decimals: 18
Once it gets officially listed this will change but for now you can buy/sell here.
Is there any overview available where we can see all details about the contributions? How many contributors and how much money was pledged? https://upfiring.com/results.html

Is the amount raised during the ICO sufficient to deliver your product? Is there an updated roadmap scaled to the possibilities disclosed by the raised amount?
Yes, the funding is sufficient to continue. We're working on updating the roadmap, but the biggest change is the removal of iOS and Android applications. The main application will be fully functional as outlined.

Tokens still not transferable ?

Yeah Devs, I've the same question. now that the Ico is over isn't the token open to transfer? I tried and it failed. UFR token transfers will be enabled after November 5th when the Bounty Campaign concludes.

Will the Upfiring protocol be available in "standalone form" or solely as an implementation in a proprietary software client?
As far as I can tell, Upfiring is far more comparable to Gnutella than it is BitTorrent. Is there any more detailed information about the technology than what is offered in the whitepaper? I'm highly wishful in regards to the future of incentivized P2P file-sharing but I have my doubts about what would essentially be an incentivized Limewire.
My feelings exactly. It has my full attention, but I'm also hesitant. It's not going to be an incentivized Limewire. You won't be able to directly search every single person's computer on the network for files in the same way, as this is just asking for trouble. You'll be able to share directly with people you know and within communities, in a similar manner to the way that torrents are currently shared.

One question I have, is there any way that files that aren't often seeded will have a higher reward for seeding? Nothing more frustrating than trying to download something obscure on utorrent and finding there are no seeds.
The rewards will be based on file size. We may implement something like this down the line, however. When it comes to storage, will your architecture function similarly to that of Storj? Not exactly. Storj splits up files and stores them on a bunch of different hosts, allowing hosts to earn coins for renting out their storage space. With Upfiring, the files will be stored on the seeders devices, so your files aren't being distributed to the a bunch of different peers in the network - only downloaders.

|
What is the exact date of unlocking the tokens?
I believe it will be November 7th assuming all goes as planned. We have to distribute the bounty campaign tokens and then finalize the crowdsale contract.

What wallet do/will we use? Im not comfortable at all with using MEW.
You can use any ERC20-compatible wallet. I recommend using a hardware wallet like Ledger/Trezor.

Only if you believe in what the project is trying to accomplish, and if the company's evaluation is reasonable. I'm a part of Upfiring (shameless plug) and we're actually working on something unique in the space. There are other ICOs that are worth it, you just have to sift through the 100s of bad ones and pick out the gems. It's more work than it used to be and you can't just throw your ETH around anymore.

Since you get tokens for seeding content, will the higher demand stuff have higher reward to incentivize seeding it?
Yes, and the reward is split among all the seeders of a file. You get compensated each time someone downloads a file you are seeding, so if the demand is very high you'll get rewarded every single time it gets downloaded. This reminds me of a private tracker I used to use. You would get points for seeding and uploading, and they even had a bounty system for highly desired content. You could trade those points in the store, mostly for digital stuff like titles and such. Do you think there will be a bounty board so people can see the kind of stuff is highly in demand? This is not in the initial development plan, but it's definitely going to be considered as we see what kind of content people are interested in. For now, the amount of UFR required will be standardized based on file-size. Yeah that makes sense. Do you plan for UpFiring to be more of a community than most current public trackers? Or is it going to be more decentralized? Do you see UpFiring being more community based, or more decentralized? Just trying to get a feel for the platform. These are two different and independent things. It's going to be decentralized, but building a community of trusted downloaders and seeders is a huge part of what we're trying to accomplish with the app.

Yep, this is accurate. More specific information can also be found in the whitepaper as well.

Have you heard of Flixxo? I was doing some research last night, and apparently it's an ICO utilizing P2P. How does it differ from UpFiring?
They're focused directly on video-sharing, whereas Upfiring allows for several different file types.
|
|

Can you disclose who you've chosen for your legal counsel?
I can't (yet), until they release a public statement about Upfiring (likely an analysis of whether or not it is considered a security - of course we strongly believe that it is not, and do not intend for UFR to be used as such) Any idea how long until that gets sorted out? Any sort of time frame? Just an estimate, but if all goes well - hopefully in the next month or two.
