Technical mumbo jumbo for
give us ya monies

that what i understand anyways
is this correct ?

[LykkeX]

Lykke is well funded already, see information above. It is the goal to "earn revenues from microscopic transaction fees of the volume traded on our exchange." 

[Godson_Mansa]

"Lykke has recently closed an investment round of 0.5 Mio CHF with angel investors at a valuation of 15 Mio CHF. We are adjusting the bid and ask price per share to 1.40 and 1 CHF, which corresponds to 0.014 and 0.01 CHF per Lykke coin."


explain that in universal terms pls

[LykkeX]

There exist  1,250,000,000 Lykke coins (LKK). 100 coins represent 1 share in the legal entity. Lykke AG is based in Zurich Switzerland. The founder of the project is public and has considerable background, having founded Oanda, one of the largest Forex brokers, see [1]. The total outstanding LKK is valued at 15M CHF, so that each LKK is worth 0.012 CHF (mid price), up from 0.004 recently. The LKK can be currently converted in a manual process to CHF. It is currently in discussion how the exchange to BTC will happen, since the exchange hasn't launched yet, but is planned for release in Q1 or Q2 2016.

In terms of distribution it is perhaps difficult to compare with Proof-of-work or Proof-of-stake system. LKK does not have its own blockchain, but uses the Bitcoin blockchain. The exchange of tokens can happen off-chain. In that sense it is more like a traditional corporation, as it also registered as such. The reason to own the token would be to to expect return in form of fees earned from the marketplace. It is currently a startup project, but the initial phase is nearing completion. The wider project was launched last year in an open format October 2015 (see [2]). There are currently 10-20 people actively working in the project. The closest analogy is a crowd-based exchange, rather than a purely centralised exchange. It is not a decentralised exchange in the sense of Counterparty or Mastercoin, etc.

While getting wider circulating of LKK is also a goal, programmatic distribution in the sense of the known currency systems is not planned. Tokens can either be bought on a market, or earned through contributions.

For the concept and also source-code, I'd encourage anyone to have a look at the wiki and ask questions here. We're currently building on OpenAssets and NBitcoin, but also keep track of all the developments.

How to participated?

[puffer]

Hello, Interesting project, kinda diferent from the other at last, and it seems a concrete way to use colored coins.
Wish to invest some bitcoin after understood something now obscure to me.
Lets do some math:
100 lykke = 1 asset of the Lekke AG
3,3% of the project value already founded with 500 M CHF at the exchange of 0,012 CHF per 1 lykke.
It seems the 1st try to add a real connection with a virtual token to a real asset and i found it really interesting but...
How much Lykkes owned by developers ?
What are you going to do you guys to get further funds ? Ico? Ipo ? private sell ?
Do you mind of the people who will care to vote for every single step and project ?
I'm really interested to know this project better and to invest.
Wish you my best luck guys.
Regards

Hi LykkeX,

Beautiful project, I have a question to ask:
how does operate Lykke AG structurally, as an intermediary? as a gateway? a oanda or fx between cryptocurrency and forex?
How Lykke intersects with the banking system to make its own function?
We are talking of a securities firm in cryptocurrency?

best regard
Pasha

Looks interesting to me all the people involve have all a good reputation on their respective fields this could be a good start up.
have bookmarked this and looking forward to participate in this venture..

Can you re write your post to make it more appealing some things like the important one are not highlighted..

[cryptoheadd]

Will there be a crowdsale?

[LykkeX]

Will there be a crowdsale?

Thanks for the question. I can't comment on all future financing needs and their methods. It is a possibility. It should be possible already to acquire LKK at the mentioned prices, i.e. buy at 0.014 CHF and sell at 0.01 CHF. The spread should be come down in the future and conversion to BTC is discussed. If you private message me your Coinprism LKK address, I'll send 10,000 LKK for your efforts.
