At last ... after much planning and thought:


Finally, people with tokens can shop and pay.

Presently there have been millions of new entrants into the crypto asset marketplace diverting  traditional savings and discretionary spending to acquire crypto assets.
Much of the rise in value of tokens has resulted from this influx.

Strong Team - Platform Creation - Interoperability


Once we attain our technology goals:
​
Yes, of course, make money the same way that all good payment companies do.
​
Plus:
​
Become the world’s largest Retail-focused cryptocurrency exchange in the Galaxy.
​

• Easy to integrate JSON drop-in SDK (suitable for iOS, Android and Windows)
• Better than PCI DSS Level 1 (credit/debit card) security standard
• Instant fiat currency exchange (with partner)
• Held asset exchange service (with partner)
• API for data access and deeper integrations
• Proprietary dashboard interface for reporting and data analysis

The Galactic Alliance Payments (GAP) token

• Post ICO the GAP token will be listed on several major blockchain token exchanges.
• Token split: immediately before listing on an exchange (post ICO) the token will be split 1,000:1 to enable more trading versatility (fewer decimal places).
• In addition to the one-third dilution in Stage Three additional tokens will be created for an employee stock option plan, advisor's stakes and marketing bounties. This will not exceed 7% of the total outstanding tokens.
• GAP is governed by an ERC-20 Smart contract for all token exchanges post Seed funding (covers conversions, voting, resolutions, allocation, limits, splits)
• Corporate entity is located in Gibraltar with operations contracted in Canada. General public funding from individuals in Canada and USA is forbidden. Private funding welcome. Contact us info@galacticalliancepayments.net

The Internet’s Next Evolutionary Leap
Sparc’s Distributed Compute Protocol will turn computational power into a global public utility

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MiIsbhZZEKI2Jf0_rjWYH7rMx7jeZzKEBmWxFWrzu90/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks -- Douglas CEO

We are very excited about how humanity will benefit and the internet will be transformed by this advance.
Thanks for your support! -- Douglas CEO

SPARC is a token that balances the supply and demand for compute resources. The Distributed Compute Protocol (DCP) sits atop TCP/IP on the internet and will allow any device with a modern browser to gain tokens by providing the compute power supply.
I hope this answers your question -- Douglas CEO

Thank you very much Leukocytenag.
This is a very exciting time to be alive and involved with this game-changing project. The Sparc Distributed Compute Protocol will transform the web as we know it and supporters like you are making it happen!
Have a great day. --Douglas CEO

Final decision on ICO launch date announcement:

MONDAY JANUARY 15, 2018 12:00 EST (NYC time)

goes until WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 14, 2018 12:00 EST

Best regards, -- Douglas CEO

-- Douglas CEO

Thanks for promoting us!

Thanks, Douglas CEO

Good question. Whereas Golem and Sonm are targeting the native realm using docker contianers and GO (language), we are targeting the web realm, using web-standard technologies and the node package manager. Whereas Golem and Sonm are building application layers, we are pushing for a protocol that pairs with the ip suite (https/tcp/ip). We plan to promote the specification as a general purpose dynamic compute protocol.
Golem and Sonm are great projects in their own right - this is how we differ.  -- Dstewart CEO

Thank you! We have a new whitepaper coming out and a few more team members to announce very soon. Stay tuned! --Douglas CEO

-- Douglas - CEO

Thank you Etatto ... Done.
We have really upped our game with having joined forces with the Cryptonomos group. That was a mistake. The SPARC presale is still open complete with the 100% bonus at smart contract address: 013FBAED9c80CC4422FF50D71F4Dc622bC7c8AE2
Many thanks for pointing that out! -- Douglas CEO

YES! - We are in very good hands with them. Our team is busy building the network and its components and our partners are helping us to spread the word - a perfect match.


I assume the presale will end on the 20th October 2017, is it?
[/quote]

No, the presale will continue to run until the 1000 ETH limit is hit or the ICO begins (Jan '18). This gives as many people as possible the opportunity to join the SPARC movement at a level they feel comfortable with.

Cheers, Douglas CEO

We will be attending CoinAgenda in Las Vegas next week - if you are there please reach out via the SPARC Channel on Telegram and we'd be happy to meet up.

We encourage everyone to contribute via the Presale which is still ongoing. We are offering an exceptional bonus (100%) for enthusiasts in this space who want to diversify and help us along in realizing the vision of worldwide compute power atop the web! We will be concluding our Private Placement in the near future which is leading us to the ICO slated for January.  Thank you to the many people who have contributed so far - you have honoured us with your trust and we will not let you down.

The newest version of the Whitepaper will be available shortly! Look for it on the website as early as next week as well as more information and expanded team member profiles.

Thanks, Douglas CEO

I am happy to announce that we have now partnered with Cryptonomos!
Cryptonomos makes it safe and easy to buy a variety of tokens on one platform and are the topic experts at evaluating and spearheading successful ICOs.
We are extremely pleased to count them as partners and we have already achieved some significant milestones in outreach, communication and marketing.
Above all, the security and solidity of the SPARC token is now assured.
We are looking forward to a prosperous and successful outcome with our deep partnership with the Cryptonomos team!
Thanks - Douglas CEO

Thank you Dimitri! Some of our benchmarking indicates that we will be able to make financial sense for you if you use computational energy anywhere else presently, or if you want to devote your device to the network. I welcome you to stay tuned! There will never be a better time than now to take advantage of the presale bonus.  Douglas - CEO

Much as the old saying goes about the cobbler whose children walk barefoot, for a web company our website has been shamefully inadequate. Point well taken. However, there was never any intent to disrespect you. We have been spending our energies building the core project. However, there is a new site on the way imminently. In the next few hours we will have a great website at last!  We are looking forward to announcing it and I look forward to your honest feedback. Douglas - CEO

We welcome other competitors in this space - the demand for computation is huge compared to the supply. And, as to your question: great question. We have delayed the ICO so that we can add people to the team and get the platform built out enough to provide a use for subscribers as you call them. Building the network will require marketing, planning, as well as ensuring that people are being adequately compensated for their devices. We have been doing experiments in the lab recently involving power consumption and cost. We will have some announcements about that as well as additions in the whitepaper. Bottom line: we will be able to offer a lower price and still be able to pay the device owner a profit on his power usage. If you and people like you get your own devices working on the network we will surely have enough users! Douglas - CEO

Thanks for the question! Actually the pre sale hasn't ended as we want to make the bonus deal available for everyone who believes in our mission. But to answer your question, we want to focus on developing the team and the platform to prove that not only will it work but it will be capable of being the largest distributed supercomputer ever. Once we do that, we should be able to have a successful ICO. Presently the early believers are getting in on the best deal and thereby helping us to achieve that goal.  Douglas - CEO

We would be happy to provide you with whatever details you like. We have been doing some experimenting with iphone power consumption while doing mathematical computations; very promising results will be announced shortly. There is a lot of computational power in everybody's pocket that hasn't been tapped yet. I would welcome you to the project. Douglas - CEO
