1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ICO=OPEN] CombiCoin: the cryptocurrency that is 100% asset backed by the top 30 on: September 14, 2017, 01:18:39 PM
Buying 30 different coins one by one is costly due to transaction fees, so investing in one coin that does this for me seems cheaper.
Hmm. I do not think that backing assets will be bought for each coin separately. Most likely, it will be provided by the creation of a pool of coins, or some stock of backing assets.
In addition, buying and selling will be carried out on exchanges, therefore, it will not be a transaction fee, but an exchange fee.

But the question is really good! Let's wait for a response from Don.

Paying 0.25% exchange fee on 10 USD at once or over 30 transactions of 0.33 will result in the same fee at the end.
The bigger Issue is that it takes a lot of time and effort to be able to buy the top 30. Multiple wallet, multiple exchanges. With CombiCoin is just 1 transaction, 1 wallet, 1 exchange.

Sure, that makes sense indeed.

However, my question was about the exchange fees of the bi-monthly rebalancing. Bi-monthly rebalancing of 30 underlying crypto's just sounds like a costly operation to me due to exchange fees. What costs do you expect and haven't you considered rebalancing less often because of this?

Could you list your competitors, and what distinguishes you from them?
I suppose, competitors are Iconomi, Taas, and some others. But they have a different idea and realization.
Maybe, such a comparison would be useful, although I have no idea what the criteria for comparison can be. Can you tell the team what exactly interests you?


Iconomi is indeed a competitor. Major differences are that we are actively managing the assets to diversify the risks. Also we do not charge an entry,exit or management fee. We include the top 30, others have a more limited selection with a higher weight on BTC and ETH. CombiCoin diversifies evenly across the top 30.

To buy the top 30 yourself you will need to use multiple wallets and exchanges. With CombiCoin it is just one transaction.


Buying 30 different coins one by one is costly due to transaction fees, so investing in one coin that does this for me seems cheaper.

Combicoin will rebalance the portfolio every two months, isn't this very costly to do every time as well? I know that rebalancing the portfolio diversifies the risk, but isn't it costly to rebalance so often?
