Trolls serve the valuable purpose of bumping a thread regularly so new investors can see it. I'm sure they'll be along in their own good time.

Is ~1,000 BTC, 73k views and 43 pages so bad?
You have to bear in mind that we have very few trolls here, so our thread has not been wildly inflated by proof-of-idiot.

No minimum.
The cap for ICO is $5million and we have raised ~$640k, though, so you should consider $4,350,000 your maximum investment at this point.

Thanks for buying!
Just to clarify, ICO will last until 30 November or until $5m is raised - whichever is first.

Yes. Slight drop, but still a bargain considering what we're up to (Goes off to polish Trojan horse)

No, that's absolutely fine. Just make sure you've registered the address.

The two we have confirmations from are Sure Green in Essex, UK, and The Temperance Society bar in Sydney. They're our first e-commerce and bricks-and-mortar guys.

There are several more we are in talks with - you can take a look at incentloyalty.com for an overview. We can't give names, only broad strokes, because we're not at that stage yet. But it's fair to say that merchants are interested in this idea: they see the potential.
10k/BTC rate is valid another 4 hours, so do some thinking, ask any questions you want and make an informed decision

The network of participating merchants is just getting started. We've just signed up the first two and funding from the ico will allow us to accelerate these partnerships.

Is this a sockpuppet account @Rob? 

Listen to this man. Speak sense he does.

It really does. At least, it does for everyone else.
Perhaps a little more information would be useful?

Hey tcherkin - thank you and yes, 2FA will be implemented before withdrawals are enabled. It's on Pete's to-do list!

Hi tobsnn!
You can deposit BTC from anywhere, exchange or own wallet. But you MUST deposit Waves from your own wallet.
If you're in any doubt, try a small test tx first.

Just to remind you all, you have 10 more hours to buy Incent at the 10k/BTC price, after which it will fall to 9k/BTC. www.incentloyalty.com/register

So far we have raised over 700 BTC and almost 280,000 Waves, putting us in striking distance of the $500,000 mark.

Good move, thank you!

Yes, before withdrawals.

The waves API is now online so you should be able to see your Waves balances now. Just give the site a few seconds to update. Remember that this in active development, so do pop into Slack to ask questions at any time! When you register an address, it shouldn't matter whether or not is has the '1W' at the beginning.
Thanks Pete!

You've misunderstood in both cases.

The deal at the top was for pre-ICO Angel investors, who typically bring much more than money to the table. This deal no longer stands now that ICO has started. There were a limited number of Angel investors, and they don't have a lot of incentive to dump.

The 50% Reserve is not held for 'costs'. Please read the detailed posts about this Reserve. It's not for the team, or anyone else. It's to maintain orderly payments to customers. Fiat funds sent from merchants take 2-3 days to arrive. Obviously we cannot wait that long before we remit Incent to the customer. Thus the Reserve is required for the project to work properly, and in return, Incent holders will receive regular 'dividend' payments from BitScan's marketmaking.

Really, minimal reading would have made this clear.

Thanks you and welcome!
