[ANN] World Mobile - Connect billions of people in Africa and beyond

[defiants_isaac]

Why is this project not attracting interest from here? Been more than couple of weeks that you started your sale, do you think you can raise your financial targets here? What will happen if you don't, do you have your own funds to push thru this project?

As of week 2, they have raised over $18M so far in the public round, with over $57.5M reserved (out of $40M available). There's been a ton of interest so far. Any unsold tokens are transferred to the node operators distribution fund.

is it true? It's unbelievable, they manage to get so much money in the public sale after almost 1 year carry out the development of this project. As I see this project is exist since last year.
It's rare to hear of a project getting that much nowadays, congratulations, so basically the project will go to the next stage once the sale is over.

Yes, the project is well-funded but also has big ambitions. But totally agree that they have done well despite the market conditions recently! I think this speaks volumes to the calibre of the project and team behind it.

The platform is like an investment platform, has quite a lot of media and partners, proves that the project is serious enough, and is well worth the investor's trust. But I see flaws on websites that are very heavy to access. I hope it's fixed soon by the team. because it is very difficult to read the information on the website.

Is this project specifically for people who are in Africa. I saw the project was pretty good, but some of my points were confused because of what I found that this project was to connect many people who exist in Africa. Is this project specific to people in africa or around the world?

Hey can you elaborate on the problems you're seeing? Would love to get these looked into.

The ambitions are beyond Africa: World Mobile seeks to build the world’s largest mobile network, delivering universal, affordable, high-quality connectivity throughout Africa and beyond by 2030.

Africa is a natural place to start given the number of unconnected individuals there and their adoption and stance on blockchain.

Hey everyone! A lot of questions to unpack here so I'll do my best.

Do you have a roadmap? I don't see it featured on the official site or on the announcement thread.
In addition, when this project actually started, your Twitter account was created in early 2019 while your site was registered in mid 2018

A copy of the roadmap can be found on page 19 of the Deck here: https://worldmobiletoken.com/Deck.pdf

I have checked it, but your roadmap starts next year, Q1 2022 is there a typo or is it really like that?

That's a huge amount of money, even a project with good fundamentals and having several partnerships may not necessarily raise that much, If it's true you can raise that much, can you provide proof?

That roadmap is just highlighting some upcoming milestones, but there is work happening right now. Best place for updates is their Twitter:

Providing "proof" during the ongoing sale is not easy, since each person contributes to an individual wallet address and there are multiple tokens accepted. There are multiple custody wallets with institutional custody to secure funds, which are converted to stablecoin after purchase.

DYOR of course, but I think the latest sponsorship of Fulham FC really solidifies the calibre of this project:

the project looks good. but how to understand on which wallet I need to keep a token in order to receive bonuses from staking?

Hey OP thank you for responding thoroughly to my earlier discussion,,, I still am not fully convinced that the problems I talked about were really addressed but I appreciate a lot that you took the time. I mean,,, I was talking about Africa where we do not have Wifi not to mention even 3g in most places, GPRS itself is a challenge.

And rewarding financially people for being part of the network is NOT unique, has been tried since 2016 with ICOs doing the same thing but they did NOT succeed so clearly the model itself is not going to attract people.

Anyway, I wish you luck and will still follow. Want to see concrete evidence of mesh network being used for once. Good news with Fulham, too!

It's wonderful to know this, this is no longer a small step, this is an insane big step, getting a partner relationship with a team like Fulham is a real testament to how serious this project is. I think this is what I saw the biggest, crypto implementation with a real team. It's no longer a word or a promise.

Thanks for your comment. WMT is a Cardano native token. You'd participate in staking from a Cardano wallet such as Yoroi.

No problem! Let's wait and see; there will be some videos released of their latest network deployment. The reasons you mentioned are exactly why they are doing this: there are billions of unconnected people out there, and that is what they are looking to change. Having a stable connection opens a realm of new possibilities for people.

Providing connectivity is the core of WM's business, as is using the combination of spectrums to allow them to provide a last mile solution.
The case studies show the Mesh network working. There could be numerous reasons why previous projects tried and failed, but that doesn't automatically mean this one will as well.
