Just a note for all of the bounty hunters - we decided to double the total reward amount to help keep the distribution amounts as reasonable compensation for your efforts. You'll note from our post on the Terms of the bounties, we were going to pay out 1% of the total fundraise in tokes to bounty members. However, given that the fundraise amount was lower than anticipated, we increased that amount.

We just brought on a new Lead Dev who has a specialty in this type of mobile app development. He's not very experienced with crypto, but he's getting up to speed quickly. We're targeting a 6 month release date on the first version of our mobile app, which will implement wallet functionality at a minimum. However, because of the early stage of development of Waves, we have some additional work to do to get APIs working, so that could be delayed.

We've already submitted our bounty spreadsheet with reward amounts and wallet addresses over to Incent, so you should have already submitted that information. However, you can still submit your wallet address to Jon at the TokesPlatform account and we'll get you taken care of. I do not believe Incent has processed our bounty payouts, so you haven't missed out on anything.

Hello everyone. We've been busy out in the field working on getting tokes placements with dispensaries here in town, so apologies for not being as proactive here on BCT. As a few members have mentioned, we're posting most news and updates in slack, so I recommend you join us there for the latest. However, I'll give a quick update here:


Distribution

As has been noted, Incent is our partner for the ICO management portal and distribution management. They've completed somewhere around 90% of total distributions, but we still have a few issues to work through. Some members have not received their full amounts, but most people have received one or more tranches of distro. Please ensure you have an accurate waves lite or full node address to receive your tokes at. We've also approved and submitted our bounty sheet to Incent, so those will go out as early as possible.


Exchanges

While we've noted that this is not our primary use of time, we can appreciate that people are looking for liquidity, despite being very early in development. We have conversations open with all of the major exchanges and are looking at potential listings soon. The most likely cases are Bittrex and Tidex, but we've reached out to Poloniex and Bitfinex as well. The Bitfinex conversation is actually focused on multiple facets and would require significant advancements, but we had a positive conversation nonetheless. For those looking for exchange listings, we encourage you to reach out to your preferred exchange to request that as well, as many of these exchanges want to see interest from the community.


Marketing Collateral

With the assistance of one of our dedicated community members, we have produced a professional investor deck and one-pager (attached below) we can leave with industry prospects. We've also reformatted our website to focus on our 5 key initiative areas. The website (http://tokesplatform.org), presentation, and one-pager now send a solid and consistent message. And finally, I've been working on the initial newsletter in between business development efforts. We're looking to have monthly issues sent out on the 20th. You can sign up at the website.

In the ICO portal (tokes.incentloyalty.com), look for the sub-menu that says "waves addresses" - you can enter a withdrawal address there.

Bounties coming shortly.

You should be able to set up a lite wallet with the chrome browser plugin, and submit a wallet address in the ICO portal. Again, please do not use an exchange account address for withdrawals.

I'm sorry you feel that way. We've actually been quite proactive and diligent with our distribution, with multiple tranches already going out. I'd argue that we've had one of the fastest and most responsive ICO distributions of all tokens out there.




We've had a few reports of the site being down. I'm working with Peter to get the server back up. Stay tuned.

**edit: site is back up

First tranche of tokes were released yesterday! Check your waves wallets to verify you've received the correct amount, or log into the ICO portal to add a waves address if you haven't done so already. We're around in slack if you have any questions.

Cheers!

You can not use a Bittrex account for tokes withdrawals. PM sent.

Reconciliation was completed this weekend, and distributions approved. Peter should be activating the withdrawal feature within the next 24 hours. Please add a waves withdrawal address to your account as soon as possible.

Again, DO NOT use a Bittrex wallet as your withdrawal address, as you will not have access to tokes at that account. You can install the Chrome Plugin here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wavesliteapp/kfmcaklajknfekomaflnhkjjkcjabogm. If you've sent waves from a Bittrex account, please contact me as soon as possible so we can verify your account and send your tokes to an alternative address.

Thanks so much everyone, more to come soon.

We sold 648,623 tokes.

The ICO concluded on January 15th. We're currently working on a complete revamp of the website which will assist with tracking progress of the various initiatives.

I suspect they will be, but will need to confirm that with Peter and Rob. Since we're both operating on Waves though, it should be very simple to transact at the same time.

Snowcrawl is correct. We'd like to have all tokes withdrawn from the ICO portal as soon as possible, following release.

Bounty distributions will be manually processed shortly following distribution to ICO contributors.

As we complete our reconciliation of ICO contributions, we're preparing to release tokes to ICO participants in the coming days. I anticipate having token distribution accessible by Sunday at the latest. However, I did want to emphasize a few points prior to token release:


1. As I noted above, please ensure you have a WAVES wallet address documented on the platform. To enter your address, log in to the ICO portal -> ICO Dashboard -> Waves Addresses -> Enter address in this section. I'm attempting to have Peter create a section that outlines a desired withdrawal address for BTC contributions; however, due to the method in which we receive and record waves contributions, tokes distributions for waves investments will be sent to the address recorded on the blockchain. So, if you sent from a waves address, the tokes will automatically be sent BACK to that waves address. If you sent BTC, you can have the tokes sent to any waves address of your choice.

2. Please DO NOT use a Bittrex waves wallet for your tokes distribution, as you'll be unable to recover the tokens at that address since you do not control the private keys.

3. Despite the warning and instruction on the portal, if you contributed to the ICO from a Bittrex wallet, please reach out to me as soon as possible so we can make accommodations for a separate distribution address. Note here that we'll need to verify transaction ownership via a secondary transaction in a specified amount, from the exact wallet you sent from previously.

Can you please attach an image with the interface as you described? I might suggest logging out and logging back in, or logging in from a separate browser if you haven't done so already. We're removing the contribution tabs, as the ICO is closed now, but all other tabs should be accessible to everyone.



We're actually using the exact same interface that Incent presented during their ICO, so it should be familiar for you. The short answer is, yes, please enter the waves address you'd like your distribution to go to in that section. I discussed this further with Peter yesterday, as I agree that it would be more intuitive to have a separate section outlining an exact withdrawal address; however, due to the nature in which we receive and record waves transactions, we need to record the inbound transaction addresses and utilize those for distributions. BTC contributions will be paid out to a desired waves address.



Distributions should be accessible this week.

While I can appreciate your sentiment, they do have bitshares listed, which also contains a decentralized exchange. My thought here is simply that waves is still essentially in beta, with full nodes just recently being released. It's also being built in scala, which is not used in many, or any other tokens. Since the tech is so new, Poloniex wants it fully vetted before adding. In any case, lots of development to come from us, so I wouldn't worry too much about an exchange listing so early in the game.
