Nou, op de een of andere manier kwam ik dus terecht bij FundCoin. Ja, ik zie jullie al denken; daar heb je weer zo'n ...coin. Het eerste wat me op viel is dat FundCoin een project is van het Nederlandse Finles, wat een groot beleggingsfonds betreft. 'Nou, nou', dacht ik. Dus blader ik wat verder naar het dev team. En wie zie ik daar tussen zitten? Geloof het of niet, maar plots verschijnt daar de naam en het gezicht van onze oud-minister van buitenlandse zaken Ben Bot!   

Nou weten oud-politici hun projectjes doorgaans wel winstgevend te maken.  Dus ik heb meteen maar een bescheiden investering gedaan.

Ik vond dit een mooi voorbeeld van hoe cryptogeld de mainstream aan het bereiken is. En ik moest dit verhaal gewoon met iemand delen. 

I had the referral in my signature but removed it as I don't trust them either.

Worst idea. A second bounty campain may attract new scammers, and the rest of the tokens will go to mr. Litex.  

I can say 'yes' to that.  

Ah the infamous MrLitex makes his appearance. 

Sincere congratulations on the bounty campain mister! 

Newbies are not welcome to participate, are they?

I have plenty of great ideas without progress too. Are you willing to invest in them as well? 

So that was the "surprise" you were talking about earlier. 

Their project sounds a lot like Everex. Which by the way came in after Humaniq.

I just came from their site, and I agree with you. Their VPN is also not provided on desktop browsers. I see them as just another type of Facebook / Google +. Very little innovation. That doesn't mean of course they can't be succesful.

I think the bounty campain has drawn a lot of attention. Much more than I expected from an authorship project. Now the challenge is to hold and expand the interest, especially where authors, publishers and readers are concerned. 

Or after a year 900K$.

We all need the wind in our sails to cross the ocean of poverty.

I have, but never made the relation in this context!

That's probably why I'm unsuccesful. 

Do you have many cryptofollowers already? It's not that easy to be found quickly on youtube as well. I keep wondering where the top scorers of the bounty campain get their clickers. Probably they have their own cryptocurrency website or so.

When you want proof first you will never be an early investor.

Sounds like the name has been thought through and trust it will be well chosen. I'm not a commerce person anyway. Just someone with fleeting thoughts. :-)

Thanks for the answer.

Question: When a reader-user of the platform wants to order your book (first possible sale), and the publishers make their offers to the author, will their offer regard the printing of that one single book, or will an agreement be reached for future orders as well? If so; will there also be options to negotiate a number of copies or a deadline whereafter new negotiations must follow?  

P.s. As an author I am interested in this project but I think the name is a bit unlucky as it will appeal mostly to authors. A name like 'Literature coin' would more easily have caught the eye of readers and publishers as well. Anyway, it's now to late to change that.  

What is superiour about their technology? You started this topic for sharing exactly just that. 

Here the golden newbie advice of the day:

Long term speculation: Invest in coins with a new technology and with their own chain. There are not many new projects.

Short term speculation: Alt coins with a niche that surf on other coins chains such as that of Ethereum. These you must sell at their earliest pumped top. Such alt coins are in reality obsolete and exist only for the purpose of making quick money.

Buying real estate with ICO's? Would that not result in giant money launderings? It will attract plenty of interest for sure, but both from criminals as from governments.

Perhaps the topic opener bought Bitcoincash instead of Bitcoin. Still not a bad buy since I see it now being sold for around $500.
