Currently we are taking the time to evaluate the Ethereum “fork” situation before announcing a date to ensure safe creation and distribution of Plutons. More news will become available this week.

We are moving forward on business and tech development! More details coming soon. Stay tuned.

Distribution of PLU to users has not taken place yet.

To make transacting with crypto currencies accessible and simple for users.

The distribution date of Plutons is still to be announced. We will be able to post an update within this month.

Currently we are still finishing distribution and can not provide updates on when third party services will choose to add PLU, as we have no control over this.

A detailed update will be issued within the week, filled with new information and developments.
Thank you for your support and patience!

No rebate is emitted when making payments using Plutons, but they can be used with no fees attached and transactions are instant.

Correct, Plutus will only be supported on Android devices at launch. If you are referring to the image of a smart phone on the front page of our website, rest assured that it is just a sketch of a generic smartphone, and not an iPhone in particular.
Plutus support on iOS devices will not be possible until Apple makes their NFC API public so developers can access it. You can read an article on the topic here

Plutus will support more currencies later down the road, after the app launches. Currently only NFC payments are supported, but we are looking into adding more services after launch.

Thanks for your support! When there are new updates, they will be posted here and in Slack. For now, please read out last update from 3 days ago regarding distribution - https://www.reddit.com/r/plutus/comments/4qstwp/postcrowdsale_updates_plutus_journey_continues/

When using the Plutus app to make purchases at merchants, they do not need to directly accept any cryptocurrency themselves. They only need to have a NFC enabled payment terminal. As long as they have this, you will be able to use the app at that location, and make a purchase using BTC, ETH or PLU. No direct merchant adoption needed! 

Neither, Plutons are digital rebate tokens that are emitted from a rebate contract when users make purchases on the Plutus app using Bitcoin or Ethereum.

We have released this useful longevity calculator which will illustrate how the rebate emission rate works, and how many more Plutons past the initial distribution will become available each year.
