IOTA

[Come-from-Beyond]

ICO funds used for two things:

1) Development of IOTA that has been ongoing since late July
2) Development of Jinn processor project

Pretty simple.

And taxes...

What i still find unanswered: why no donations per BTC to the Foundation?

[willowfoot]

The new version now allows IOTA 0.9.15 to donate only for the foundation
Please made donation to the foundation now for the time we collected 7%.
When you launched your wallet and inserted your password, you'll see a popup telling you to put a percentage between 0% and 33%.
Put yours percentage follow the steps and wait for confirmation from another popup (I would say 20 minutes it takes to get the confirmation)

You have a tutorial to windws here : http://forum.iotatoken.com/t/tuto4noobo-how-run-iota-0-9-15-in-windows/322/1

if you have problem I am available via PM BTT in the IOTA IOTA chat and forum

Again the Foundation need you, let's solidarity!!!

Sorry for my Bad english again!!  

Happy to donate once I figure out how to do this with a Mac OSX.

I tried the instructions in the forum, but when I open nostalgia there is no 'Claim IOTAs' button

When will donation window close?

When will donation window close?

I think there will be no time frame but it would be better if everyone can donate to the foundation before launch.

i don't want to donate a single IOTA to the foundation, is it possible?

certainly : )

[Jabbawa]

I don't mind technical problems and delays, I've been waiting at least 3 months for a GUI that is easy and user friendly to transfer IOTA to bigiotabig and to donate to the foundation (or the big deal - both projects, mind you, that are more or less opaque operations which I have little information on).

The really frustrating part is that this thing is probably really important and can actually work. It's the only reason I'm still here 5+ months in waiting for a GUI to make simple transfers and will still donate to the foundation if the opportunity presents itself in a more transparent manner.

I can relate to this ...

Of course, it's a 100% free choice. If not enough donations come in, then the foundation does not happen at all.

[josegines]

I have a problem with a transfer real IOTA, not testnet.

26/may @bitme(CIOTA) has sent me this transfer:
71155993600 IOTA to WMWSMLAJOZBWFJ9SOUGS9RCZXBPFKHVOHE9JHF9YEECQTKKUCUFADGLUHKGKFBKFWSMBCDAOMILSGSN KO

when I opened the wallet IRI-0. 9. 15 + Nostalgia, and shows me the amount I am willing to donate, I have seen that I have not received such a transfer.

I have consulted and responded CFB me:

It's testnet, some transactions can (and were) cancelled.

A few weeks ago I received a transfer of @child_harold smoothly

I want to know how we should proceed @Bitme and me.

1.-Bitme Receive back the funds?
2.-when we can make the transfer without danger of cancellation?

I have little IOTA and I would not lose. Very thanks!

and if foundation does not happen, what then? Does IOTA continue?

I think somehow all transactions before 0.9.13 have been rolled back. So it´s like the transaction from child harold to you has never happend

I see 71155993600 sent to WMWSMLAJOZBWFJ9SOUGS9RCZXBPFKHVOHE9JHF9YEECQTKKUCUFADGLUHKGKFBKFWSMBCDAOMILSGSN KO. Maybe you use another seed? Try to generate few new addresses, is one of them WMWSMLA...DAOMILSGSNKO?

and if foundation does not happen, what then? Does IOTA continue?

Yes, but no further engagement from CfB, David, Stas or Dominik Schiener. It's than completely up to the community to develop and marketing IOTA further. One hope is of course, CfB and David need a working IOTA as Software for Jinn. So I expect it will be silent but still somehow developed.

I still have the opinion that a solution like Lisk and Waves have done, would have been the better one (put premine aside for the foundation).
But because that is not possible I will donate now more than I have entered in the Excel sheet to make the foundation happen.

[superresistant]

 
Why are you asking for donations on a testnet ?

[Come-from-Beyond]

Why are you asking for donations on a testnet ?

The donations will be replayed on the mainnet.

seriously? .... just do a premine of 5% and get on with it guys, why all this angst with voluntary 'donations' and 'speculators are evil' nonsense.

common sense says if you guys need 5% or it's game over, then ffs why didn't you say this before the IPO

[50cent_rapper]

What's the problem with donating 5% of your stash?

We all wanna IOTA to be not just cryptocoin, but a thing which will be usable by devices all over the world.

I'm sure that a lot of guys will donate after stable GUI with wallet will come out.

It also may help to add button called "donate" in upcoming GUI  . So wallet user can just press "donate" button, set amount of IOTA he want to send and... it's gone 

[LitcoinCollector]

I agree, a 5% premine would suit me fine.

I thinks every Iota holder understands that a premine is necessary for the foundation, foundation members need to be compensated for their efforts.

95% of a lot is better than 100% of nothing...

Perhaps a poll vote on this would speed things up?


(I know a premine would be changing the rules a bit, but that's how things work in creative processes.)
