We don't change the current real estate system because, as you pointed out, no one can legally put property deeds/titles on the blockchain.  At least not presently.  We work within the system to make sure everyone involved is protected, that is why there is the insurance to give a peace of mind.  Hope this helps!

Thanks for all who have signed up for the bounties.  We would like to let you know that there are plenty of opportunities in the blog bounty section, so more stakes available!

We will by Tuesday CA time.  Thank you for your patience.

The confusion may be the difference between the value of the total tokens, which is, as you pointed out, USD 30M and the amount we are allocating for the token sale, 54%, which includes the bonuses and bounties.  That's where USD 12.5M max cap is from.

Hope that helps!

For FB/Twitter/YouTube/logo pictures/blogs, yes, as long as you have enough followers.  And, of course, anyone can qualify for the bundler bounty. Just sign up at the respective page(s).

Hope this helps.

Yes, no need to repost here.

As for the question of when the spreadsheet will be out, we should have it out after the first week, so next Tuesday.  

Any questions, let us know.  We're here to make it mutually awesome for everyone.  Thanks, guys!

Thanks!  We are excited and so are others.  We have been invited to pitch to VCs and angel groups as they're interested too, to help validate and grow the community.  Cool thing is that one of our insurance partners is going to invest in the coins, so that's a good validator as we all know insurance folks are pretty conservative.  The presale is gaining traction, too.  Combined, we hope to make all your bounties worth a lot more!  

[Edited to say "bounties worth a lot more!" for compliance.]

We obviously goofed, sorry about that!  It's been fixed and, of course, no need to wear the avatar since Jr Members cannot.  Thanks for your understanding!

The smartre.io/fb and smartre.io/twtr bounty are open, as is a new type of bounty, logo picture bounty.  Let us know if you have questions!  Thanks

Bounty announcement is at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2043674.  Let us know if you have more questions!  Thanks

The links are all fixed now.  Thanks you guys! 

That is strange.  The /FB, /TWTR, /BundlerBounty pages are all up.  Can you let us know the problem(s) you are encountering?  Perhaps the auto-scale isn't working as fast as it should.  Apologies if that is the case and thank you for your patience.

We are seeking USD 2.5M that will be a good 18-month runway and the beginning of profitability.  For the max cap of USD 12.5M, that should take us to self-sufficiency and profitability unless we get strong requests from users to expand into areas faster than our internal plans dictate.

For the question of YouTube followers, we can be flexible but it'd be difficult for us to accept those with only a few followers.

The original announcement for our token sale is here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2040877).  

We are a fractional real estate startup that uses Ethereum smart contracts blockchain to help homeowners liquidate a fraction of their equity without adding any debt and help investors buy a piece of that equity at a low threshold.  We have worked with our specialized real estate law firm in San Francisco to come up with a legal business model that works.  In addition, to help protect the investors, we custom designed an insurance policy.  Currently in private beta, we will have a public beta in late September with a full launch in late October/early November.  

We strongly believe in the mutual benefit of the decentralized community, not just for the token sale, but for the remainder of the lifetime of SmartRE.  In that spirit, we are introducing the traditional bounties and the Bundler Bounty for our SmartRE (SRE) token sale.  Traditional ones we have all seen before, but we've also added in something new.  The Bundler Bounty encourages the buildup of the SmartRE community.  Please take a look below.

The Presale is August 8, 2017 and the token sale starts on August 14, 2017.  There are 100 million total supply of tokens, of which 2% (2 million tokens) are allocated to the traditional bounty program.  Each token is priced to sell at USD 0.30.  The Bundler Bounty is not from this 2% but from the company’s own allocation as we strongly believe in everyone benefiting from what we’re trying to do with the SmartRE platform.

We will announce our bounty program by the end of the weekend, California time.  Stay tuned!

By releases I assume you are asking about regulatory issues?  If so, there are certain ways to make sure we do not overstep our bounds.  We are a platform to connect homeowners and buyers, so very much a marketplace.  Our collaboration with a San Francisco specialized real estate legal firm took months (since last year) to hash out what is necessary to make our business model work.  That is also the reason why we are starting in the San Francisco Bay Area, as that's where we know the legal issues the best.  The direction we are on, currently, is the easiest.  If somehow it is not possible, we have a Plan B already that will have more paperwork involved but still solvable.

We are not arrogant enough to think we can tackle the entire real estate sector, but just a small subset.  I'm sure you guys hear huge numbers being tossed around (people are quoting USD 210 trillion!) but it's impossible for a startup to tackle such a big market from the beginning.  We're helping people who need liquidity but there's no current way right now without accumulating more debt.  Our targets are the people who take out home equity loans and reverse mortgages, and help them find a more equitable way to unlock value in their properties.  On the other side, allowing everyone to invest without having to be part of the affluent or being forced into funds that the managers decide where to invest.
