Hello,

I read the new whitepaper, and it seems that the liquidity pool profit allocation logic was changed.

So the data+logic is this Medium article is no longer valid?
https://medium.com/@trade.io/new-participation-schedule-participate-in-the-liquidity-pool-from-500-trade-tokens-98bc06b269d9

And with the new logic, the minimum token we need to lock is 2500. 'The number of token locked' is to let us know what profit allocation % we have: 10% (2500 tokens locked) - 110% (25000 tokens locked), and the maximum of our contributed asset to the pool.

These locked tokens value + X amount of asset <=  the maximum of our contributed asset to the pool according to our tier.

On a specific day:
(the value of my locked tokens + my contributed asset X)  / total value of locked tokens and asset of the pool = my portion of profit = A%
A% * profit = the hypothesis profit = P
P * profit allocation % = actual earning of that day.

Am I understand the liquidity pool logic correctly?

I'm confused as to if the value of our tokens count at all when we locked it. For example: I buy 5000 tokens (all I have). and lock these 5000 tokens in the pool. (I don't contribute anything further to the pool. X =0) ---> from that day onward, I can earn profit based on my 5k tokens, or I can only earn profit if X>0?

Your example is not clear to me:
"To illustrate a sample situation using the graduated plan in the table above, let’s take the following hypothetical
situation using a 1 Trade Token = 1 USD Equivalence:
Participant A has locked 2,500 Trade Tokens and contributes with $10,000 to the pool - this means they will be
eligible for a 10% participation."
---> Does this mean participant A lock 2500 tokens and contribute a further $7500 in asset to the pool. or A lock 2500 tokens and contribute a further $10000 in asset to the pool?

Hi Envion,

You recommend us to use Ether to buy the EVN coin, but there's not a direct rate for ETH to EVN. How do you calculate the amount of EVN I will receive? Will it be like, I will enter something like I want to buy 10000 EVN coin. Then the web page will spit back something like: transfer X amount of ETH to this wallet address to complete this transaction?

The convert rate between ETH to EVN will be calculated at the moment I enter in 'I want 50k coin', or at the moment I transfer X ETH to your wallet? How do I know the necessary ETH amount I need to have? (Sorry, first time participating in an ICO here).

Then, where will you send my just bought EVN coins to?

I have a kraken account to trade. But it guess it won't be sufficient in this case?

In order to participate in the ICO, I assume that I need to do the following things?:
_ Buy ETH in kraken/coinbase/etc. wallet A.
_ transfer my ETH to a different ETH wallet (MEW or MetaMask or other ERC-20 wallet as suggested in the Medium articles). We will called this wallet B. A---> B
_ transfer ETH from this wallet B to Envion wallet E. B ---> E
_ Envion will send me the EVN coin back into my wallet B.
_ Future dividend will be paid by converting the dividend to ETH and transfer itinto my wallet B.
_ My wallet B will hold 2 thing: 10k EVN coin (for ex I bought 10k) and some amount of ETH as dividend, balance adjusted weekly.  
_ Then transfer my ETH EVN to wallet Z to trade/cash out/etc when I want. (assume wallet Z is from an exchange where your EVN coin will be listed on later).

Am I understand the process correctly? Buying by using a credit card is a more straight forward option.
