Hi there

I do have a couple of questions:

1. According to your white paper, you are distributing the tokens in three different ratios depending on what time the participant sent its Ether. Above the question was asked: "What will happen with unsold tokens?" and your answer was "Unsold tokens will be burned".
But - it's impossible to have unsold tokens the way you framed your ICO. Every token will be distributed according to the ratio. Can you please explain?

2. For clarification. What is the exact amount of tokens that will be distributed to the ICO participants?
Is it 4'500'000 due to the allocation of the development team or is it 5'000'000 with a total amount of 5'500'000 in circulation?

3. If I read the white paper correctly, you are raising an indefinite amount of money. You could end up with very few Ether up to millions of dollars worth of Ether (e.g. competitor vDice raised 1.8$ Million worth of Ether).
Could you elaborate on how much money your planning to spend on the different phases?

Thanks and best wishes


Thanks for expressing interest! These are some great questions and I'd love to clear things up for you!

1. If there is no ETH contribution to convert to iDice tokens, those tokens will remain unsold. Everything will be handled automatically by the smart contract; there is a specific burn function on the smart contract that automatically burns tokens that have not received an ETH contribution. The smart contract also automatically handles the conversion rates of the tokens to ETH. There is no human involvement in the token conversion process, it is all done by code.  Wink

2. There is a limited supply of 5 million tokens. 500,000 of them will be allocated to development team, thus 4,500,000 will be distributed to the ICO participants.

3. We really wish we could raise an indefinite amount of money!  Grin Unfortunately, we have a limited supply of 5 million tokens, so raising an indefinite amount of money is impossible. Even at the lowest conversion ratio, the maximum amount of money we can raise is 5million/130=38,461.5 ETH. You can find our how we plan to spend our money on our Use of Funds section on our whitepaper (https://crowdsale.idice.io/idice-whitepaper.pdf) This projection is based on our estimate of raising 1,000,000 USD.

Hi

Thanks for answering some of my question. Although something is clearly not right here! Please answer!

My first question:
I raised the concern that you are "raising an indefinite amount of money" which is clearly the case, the way your whitepaper is framed! You are talking about "ratios" and "proportionality" regarding the token distribution! The way you answered my question, your whitepaper should say:
"First hour: 1 ETH = 200 tokens" and not 200:1 ETH
"First 7 days: 1 ETH = 170 tokens" and not 170:1 ETH
"Last 7 days: 1 ETH = 130 tokens" and not 130:1 ETH

Tokens that are distributed "proportionally to the ETH contribution" and "in ratios" are something completely different than tokens that are being distributed equally.
What is the case here??


My second question:
You answered number two of my questions saying "500,000 of them will be allocated to development team, thus 4,500,000 will be distributed to the ICO participants."
You went on to answer the my third question talking about 5,000,000 tokens again, rather than the above stated 4,500,000. You contradicted yourself within 3 sentences.
Please clarify!

Thanks

He's got a point.  How could you not know the exact amount you could raise?  If 10% of the tokens are reserved for the founders, why are you including them in that calculation?

Maybe I'm too skeptical, but the fact that you won't acknowledge the inquiries about your representation that the app will be available on Android and iOS platforms is very concerning to me.  You say that it will, but can you please explain WHY you are able to make that representation?  Don't they (Google Play and iOS) both ban gambling apps?

Thanks for the question!
I understand your concern. You are correct in that gambling apps are banned by Google Play and Itunes. You will be able to download our app directly through our site on your smartphone. We will not be releasing our app through Google Play/Itunes nor did we say that we would be. Our app will be able to run on IOS and Android platforms just like any other 3rd party app that you can download online. There will be a guide detailing how to install our app on your phone once it is released.

I hope this helps!

It does, thank you.  

Another (possibly as dumb) question...I read in your white paper that there will no accounts, etc.  How will a player be able to play casino type games realtime without an account?  At some point players will have to transfer ETH to iDice and then play the games realtime off of that balance right?  Wouldn't that be linked to an account?  If not, how then would a user be linked to the ETH that he/she transferred?

Can the iDice team please make an official statement concerning the Scam accusations? I'm aware that ETHRoll source code was used. What I don't know is why. The statement about using ETHroll code because of "all dice game code are almost the same" isn't very convincing. And these are redflags that could harm the project. If not during the ICO, but in the long run. To succeed in the market You need a unique product.

Not only that but they used an old version of the code which doesn't have a lot of the good changes etheroll has made recently.  

Is this true? I was looking forward to invest in this ICO.

I'm very interested in this project but I need this question answered as well

Hello everyone,

I'm Jordan, the Founder and CEO of iDice.
We are aware of the accusations that have been made against us. We referenced Etheroll's open source code and have added several additional functions on top of it: it is clear to see that although some parts may be similar, it is not an exact replica. The smart contract you are seeing right now is purely for our beta release. Our intentions in using Etheroll's old code was to protect our final product from malicious copycat attempts from potential competitors. If we really wanted to copy Etheroll's source code, we would have used their current code with all the improvements they have made. A lot of you are raising an issue of our outrageously high house edge. We set the house edge to 6.5% only to test our game beta, it was not meant to be an official launch. We are aware that a competitive house edge is around 1% and we did not falsely advertise the house edge of our beta in any way.

I personally guarantee that the official mobile and desktop versions of iDice will have a source code that is completely unique to our platform. The team is working around the clock to expedite the official release of iDice for desktop and mobile platforms (which will have a house edge of 1%).

We made a mistake, and I apologize for the inappropriate manner that we handled this situation.  We truly did not intend to lie to potential investors. We are not a scam project; our goal is to revolutionize blockchain gambling through mobile devices.

Thank you for understanding,
-Jordan Wong

Very interested, but please explain plan to be approved by Google Play and iOS.  Has that already happened?  I see that as the biggest hurdle.  Thanks
