Hey guys, just wanted to know if anything will change concerning the Soft and Hard Cap? Correct me if I'm wrong but the current ETH price makes it kinda impossible to reach them, right?
Also, will there be a bounty campaign? The current link only leads to the website.
As promised, the link to the bounties: https://www.birdchain.io/bountyP.S. sorry, for being late a little bit, but the page was just launched. |

Wow, I guess they’ve thought it through. By the way, does anyone know if the first investors are going to get any discount?
We already announced one cooperation and pre-buying our services 100 Ether. It is a company CarVertical. We will announce even bigger cooperation this week (i hope). More are in negotiation stage and we will share the news as soon as we will sign. We are offering bonus to early birds. So the faster you contribute, the bigger bonus you will receive. |

Hi. Tokens are being sold out quite fast. Are you sure it's not going to eat plans token price growth?
I don't think so. The most important thing right now is to attract as many people as possible and get as much money as possible for fast project development. Yes. We could develop Birdchain on our resources, but that would take several years. ICO will allow us to launch it in the beginning of the next year. |

Good afternoon. Millions of users watch the ads in apps and on sites every day. Maybe you should create a sector where they will get tokens for this?
We will definitely do this  As I have mentioned previously: The first version of the application will hold an interface, enabling communication with friends and family, and a possibility to sell unused SMS and also an opportunity to amass cryptocurrency from SMS messages. We will start with this feature because it has the highest potential of money earning in the beginning. Additionally, we have specialized in SMS delivery business for nearly ten years and hold the deep understanding of market specifics and SMS transmission technologies. Also, this will allow users to start earning money from the very first day. Next step will be taking on the other features described in this WP, which will allow people to earn money: Content Engagement, Personal Data Marketplace, and 3rd party in-app mini games.

Will your app have a lot of requirements for devices? My smart phone celebrated its fifth anniversary, I’m afraid that it can be too slow but I don’t want to miss the chance to mine the tokens.
5 years for a smartphone is a LOT. I can not guarantee that it will work on your phone specifically as you did not specify the model, BUT You can be sure that the app will work on all most popular devices. |

Hi there. When does the pre-sale start?
On the January 18 (GMT) |

Isnt sms bundles so cheap, or even unlimited these days?
Yes, we all have a lot of free messages, but we almost never use them. Why then should we not sell them to companies that need SMS messages to inform their clients? |

Will you focus on SMS exactly are there any other options to get income are being developed? I’d like to know to what extent your plan is thought out in terms of prospects.
You are 100 percent right.The first version of the application will hold an interface, enabling communication with friends and family, and a possibility to sell unused SMS and also an opportunity to amass cryptocurrency from SMS messages. We will start with this feature because it has the highest potential of money earning in the beginning.

Hi there. Will token holders be able to acquire a kind of premium account which would accelerate token mining? I would pay for it.
ICO participants will be able to test our app first. It will be presented to non-contributors later. About the premium accounts - all people will have equal possibilities to earn, but the first ones to use our services will be able to earn the most. |

Hi there. If I have two Sim cards on my phone and every of them contains unused SMS, will the app be able to spend all of them at once or will I have to connect each of them in turns?
in the beginning you will have to choose one SIM card. In the later stages of the development, we will add the feature which will allow sending SMS from both SIM cards. |

I'm just doing this now  Awesome! If you will need additional information, ask technical WP is coming up |

Will the tariff for one coin bought from me be steady? If no, will the price be as small as possible or as high as possible at the very start of apps’ operation?
BIRD token will be listed in exchange (we are focusing on bittrex or binance) and its price will depend on market value. |

Good afternoon. What happens if I specify that I have 15 SMS in the app but then waste one of them accidentally? Will I be fined for this?
No. You will not be fined, but You will pay for the operator small amount for using "extra" SMS. |
|
|
|
Will the app be developed both for iOS and Android or is one of these OS has higher priority?
The app will be available only on Android. We see very little chances for iOS to open-up enough for Birdchain to operate. |

Will the members of your team develop the app or will you order it from a third party developer? I believe that the fist option is more attractive.
We have a wonderful team who was tested in various projects. Please read more about our parent company: www.vertex.ltWe will develop the app and service in-house, but I see no problem if we would hire 3rd parties to help us out in developing some fractions of the app. |

Good afternoon. How long will it take you to develop the first version of the app? I need to know in order to know the appropriate time to start to copy SMS.
What do you mean "start to copy SMS"? We will start developing working prototype after pre-ICO (it starts tomorrow). Working version for contributors to test - after 6 months after ICO. Official launch in early 2019. |

Good afternoon. If your business idea is so good, why hasn’t anyone figured it out yet? It seems strange to me.
Because traditional monetization methods does not work with such large number of small transactions. Only blockchain can handle it. As blockchain is relatively new, there was not a lot of time for people to get this idea + Only insiders know that SMS market is very alive |

I don't think it's a good project  Hi, I would like to answer your statement (followed by an angry smiley) with with 10 second video from hilarious Flight of the Concords: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29M_VElHoFI (followed by a friendly wink) |

Oh, that is it. I thought that they’ll work only with developed countries where demand for SMS-informing remains high, but if the platform is going to cover all the world, the issue is taken off the table. In this case, when will it be possible to download the app?
Hi, sorry for joining in a bit too late 1) Birdchain is not just SMS delivery app. It will have several sorts of possibility to earn. Selling your unused/unwanted SMS is just 1 of the few. We will start from this one because we have a lot of experience in global SMS delivery (vertexsms.com). Later we will introduce earnings from content engagement, surveys, selling your personal data and 3rd party in-app mini games. 2) Global SMS revenue was estimated to be 63 billion in 2017. Annual growth 5 percent. 3) SMS is the most effective and the cheapest way to reach customers. 98 percent of people read an SMS within three minutes from receiving it and SMS has the highest engagement rate in comparison to emails and OTT apps. 4) An increase of two-factor authentication and security via SMS. Today personal data is transferred over the web more often than ever before. Seeking to add a security layer, two-factor authentication has become the go-to method for companies that aim to protect their users. Sending an SMS as an authentication has become very popular, because customers usually have a mobile device on them at almost any given moment. 5) A 2-way authentication has a staggering 99.9% reachability rate across all mobile users, as long as the number provided is correct. It does not require to have an internet connection. Mobile bandwidth is enough to receive a two-factor authentication or marketing message. 6) No need to install additional apps. SMS messages can be received and read on any mobile phone in any network, almost anywhere in the world. Of course, we will start in a couple of markets but we are planning to provide global services. |
