it's better to distribute the token when the ICO ends.

Yes that is what we are doing. Won't be distributing before the token sale ends. Just want to know if the community wants it to end sooner. We have posted this poll on telegram too and as of now 80% have voted in favor of reducing the time.

IMPORTANT:

A lot of users have been messaging us asking to reduce the Token Sale time a little so that their WiC tokens are not locked in for so much time. Some presale participants were under the impression that they will get the tokens after the end of the presale itself but we cannot do that since that will encourage OTC trading and have a negative effect on the Token Sale.

We could reduce the Token Sale time however ending it around the 15th-20th September if that is what the majority of the community wants. Please let us know what you think!

Thanks!

Why the exchange livecoin again added 2500000 coins for 382?This is a Scam?
They transfer it from market WIC-ETH, because stage 1 was already sold in WIC-BTC but there were still coins in stage 1 in market WIC-ETH. So no, this isn't scam.

That is right. Livecoin transferred coins from the ETH market since the BTC/WiC stage 1 was sold out.

This is how I imagine the perfect user experience:
You transfer fiat money to your WiC App Account. If you then find use another wifi, the amount of money you have to pay will be be calculated after you are done and disconnected again. Your fiat money will now be shapeshifted to WiC and transfered to the person who provided the wifi.
But people will also use the wifi just for short periods of time, what will lead to microtransactions. How high are the transaction costs in WiC? As far as I know there is only IOTA by now realizing real microtransactions because it has no fees. How will you solve this problem?

I think they won't be able to solve it, ethereum base tokens tend have higher fees in order to execute a single transaction. It would be very costly for most users who will buy a wifi connection just for a short amount of time.  
Well, I really doubt that people will use the app it if this won't be solved. Nobody would pay like 1$ fees to pay a wifi bill of a few cents. Why did devs not choose to build their token on top of the iota network? The no fee feature would be perfect for this project/app. But maybe I am missing something here, hope devs have thought about this.
I agree though there are fiktur perfect for the project/application wic but very expensive for most users. I also have yet to see the latest developments of this project. Hopefully the dev team can work with nice in order for tomorow achieve success.

Hey, yes there is a little issue with the fees but it is usually less than a dollar. I understand it is still not 0 but that is something dependent on the network and we cannot really control it.

I think it will do the project much better if there was an online method to add WiC credit rather than having to physically travel to a retailer. The whole idea behind WiC is convenience of easily being to find a wifi hotspot around your area. If they have to now find a retailer that sells gift cards, it ruins the experience. I think a easy online method of buying credit is absolutely crucial for the success of WiC

Hey, the reloadable cards is just one of the many ways users will be able to purchase WiC. Users will definitely be able to transfer it online as well. We also plan to have credit/debit card payments and shapeshift integrated into the app for convenience purposes.

Thanks!

Sorry if I missed this but how will you put wic on the gift cards when all is distributed during the token sale?

Reserved for Token Sale: 90%
Reserved for In App Distribution: 5%
Reserved for the Team: 3%
Reserved for Bounties: 2%

Would you take it from the 5% or would you constantly buy back wic in order to be able to sell the gift cards? Also how would this work concerning the high volatility of crypto currencies?
Would you basically make wic from giftcards very expensive? (like lets say if the current exchange price is 1$ = 1 wic and you would then sell gift cards with 10 wic for 20$?)

Hey, let me try to explain how it will work:

We will not be buying back WiC or funding the reloadable cards with the 5% which is reserved solely for in-app distribution.

The customer who wants to buy a reloadable card will pay in fiat and the seller of the cards will buy the exact amount of WiC at that moment's price and forward it to the customer. So that means the seller will not have pre-bought WiC but will buy as per the customer demands.

Hope that clarifies it. If there is any further questions, feel free to ask me.

Thanks!

Cool, thank you for the clarification!
I think the idea is good because it bases the wic/fiat exchange purely on the market.

The only doubt I would have is regarding the simplicity. As far as I understand, other giftcards already contain a code or similar which often needs to be scratched off and then have a fixed amount of something (e.g. "itunes money") on it.
If I understand your approach correctly now, users can buy wallets on plastic cards and retailers need some sort of terminal in order to load them up with wic. In order to make this work in a bulletproof way I am guessing that you would need provide hardware with pre-installed software to the retailer which would connect to a service you are hosting which allows for quick and easy loading up of the cards using best market conditions. Would that assumption be correct or do you have other plans (like e.g. only having wic cards available at specially trained retailers)?

Having a special hardware terminal will be quite expensive especially if we have to deliver it to thousands of stores across the world. An easier way would be to train them or give manuals on how to buy WiC and load it on to the cards.

You must have heard of paper wallets right? Gift cards can essentially have the same concept as in the public key will be open and used by the retailers to load up the desired amount of WiC and the private key will have to be scratched off by the consumer.

This is not set in stone though and we might have improvements and changes when we are closer on implementing this.

Thanks!

so livecoin has still not added coins from the eth market......when will they do this? because ppl are already buying stage 2 at 0.00000467 BTC rate which is a 20% jump.....

dont know if they will b happy to see when more coins are available at the stage 1 price

is there something you can do to speed us the process? im sure though that you must be doing everything that you can do.

Hey, yes we understand it will be good if Livecoin does it sooner than later. We have done all we can do which is ask Livecoin to move the coins from the ETH market to the BTC market. How soon they do it is entirely up to them and unfortunately there is nothing more we can do about it rather than wait for them.

Thanks!

How are the negotiations/talks for distributing the wifi cards?

We have a plan to issue WiC re-loadable cards. This will be something like gift cards and be available at retail convenience stores and gas stations. We are currently focusing on the Token Sale and smooth launch of the app. After that the main focus will be on mass adoption. Once we have a loyal user base, we will go on to approach companies for distributing the WiC reloadable cards.

Something from the whitepaper:

"Another thing we intend to do is have WiC reloadable cards available at gas stations and retail convenience stores, so that people even without the knowledge of crypto currencies will be able to use our app without issues. How this will work is similar to how reloadable gift cards work. Users will have the option to use their local currency at local outlets that will give them pre-loaded unscratched WiC cards with private keys that can be used to load the purchased balance in to the CryptoWi app. This way we eliminate the need for the end user to know how crypto currencies work and make WiFi sharing easy and hassle free."

Thanks!

Wow People buying Stage 2 btc now...  Grin

Yes stage 1 of the BTC market is sold out now. We have contacted Livecoin to transfer coins from the ETH market and we are waiting on them to do that.

was going to ask about this as btc has moved up and eth isnt moving much at all...

Yes looks like people are buying in the BTC market even when the $ price is lower in the ETH market. Don't know why is that but that is how people are buying on livecoin.

When livecoin does the moving, only around 5% coins will remain on the ETH market and rest everything will be sold against BTC.

Lambo: Will everything (technology wise) be in place when trading begins? Like the app and service, funding options etc?

Everything will be working except the future features mentioned in the whitepaper. So for example credit/debit card funding won't be available immediately. Other than that the app will be fully functional for everyday use.

By the way, I'm in with 1.3 ether in WiC, but I'm still surprised how we couldn't pass $1,000,000 investment. It should have been more than the current one.

We are around the $750,000 mark and should cross $1,000,000 easily by the end of the token sale. Usually, people contribute during the end of the token sales if they are on exchanges so that their BTC does not get locked in.

we are getting around 30k everyday so 1mil will definitely be acheived  Cool

This will only increase since we have a press release that is scheduled to be released after about a week and we are also publishing articles on ICOlert this week which goes to around 14,000 active users.

this is with the eth moved?

Last few coins left in Stage 1 on livecoin.



shouldn't they move the ETH stage one to BTC stage one?

Hey, we have already messaged Livecoin to move the coins from the ETH market. They should do it soon. We cannot really control much here except asking Livecoin to make the move.

Thanks!

Is the signature campaign over . If not, when will it end ?

Hey, the signature campaign is still open but unfortunately newbie members cannot participate in it.

You can still get into the other campaigns listed at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2043970
