[ANN] Plutus [PLU] — Earn 3% Back in Crypto on Every Debit Card Payment

[David_Plutus]

Happy Monday everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Quick update regarding the Plutus Pilot Scheme:

The scheme is rolling on, the development team have ironed out all bugs which have been reported, and we're getting ready to roll out further functionality to our Pilot Testers.

We're making wonderful progress - I'm excited for you to have your very own Plutus Debit Cards very soon! Along with the security benefits of our decentralised exchange, the PlutusDEX

When will the PlutusDEX be available again?

This will be available to Plutus users when we roll out Plutus 2.0 to the public completely 

As for a time scale - we're about to roll out some additional features to our Pilot Testers. Following vigorous testing of that, among some other aspects of Plutus 2.0, we'll be ready to roll it out to yourself and everyone in the UK and EEA.

So that sound as a full launch in Q2 ?

Hey Doulon!

The team are hoping to attend Money 20/20 this year at the beginning of June so we can show off what we have so far.

The weeks following Money 20/20 will see the full roll out of Plutus 2.0

Hopefully you will launch in Q2 but Q3 at the latest please!! I've got PLU to spend

We're making excellent progress. I've seen some internal demonstrations of what is to come and I can promise it's worth the wait, BTCCoaster 

You, and the rest of our community, will have your own Plutus Debit Card before you know it!

Will you have a bounty program before the pre-sale and crowdsale?

[David_Plutus]

Will you have a bounty program before the pre-sale and crowdsale?

Hey Johnii, our crowdsale occurred back in 2016 - 850,000 PLU were sold whilst the remaining 19.15 million remain locked in a smart contract for the rebate system.

As for a bounty programme - when we rolled out some aspects of Plutus 1.0 last year we conducted a highly successful bounty programme alongside that in order to ensure security within the Plutus ecosystem.

As the full roll out of Plutus 2.0 is right around the corner, I can say that it is highly likely that we will be conducting another bug bounty programme in the near future.

We'll post any relevant details here on our BitcoinTalk thread, as well as many of our social media pages. So keep an eye out for that if you want to get involved

Will I be able to use the exchange without kyc and ordering card?

Will I be able to use the exchange without kyc and ordering card?

In order to access Plutus 2.0, users will be required to pass KYC. This helps minimise fraud and reduce risk to our customers funds.

We treat all of your sensitive data with the highest levels of security.

The Plutus Rebate System

What is the Plutus rebate system?

Each time our users top up to spend on their account, either via fiat or cryptocurrency, they receive a rebate of up to 3% in our native rewards token, Pluton (PLU).

How many PLU are available?

Initially, there were 20,000,000 PLU available, 850,000 of which were sold during our crowdsale in 2016. The remaining 19,150,000 PLU remain locked away in a smart contract to power our rebate system.

Where can I find out more about the PLU rebate system?

You can find out more on our Helpdesk here

Where can I find the original white paper?

Where can I find the original white paper?

The full Plutus White Paper is available on our website here.

We've made some changes to the project as a whole since the inception of Plutus. All of which, we believe, are massively beneficial to our community

It's 2.5% to convert BTC to pounds using the Coinbase card. Can we be assured that Plutus will be cheaper?

It's 2.5% to convert BTC to pounds using the Coinbase card. Can we be assured that Plutus will be cheaper?

The full Plutus fee schedule is being released prior to the roll out of Plutus 2.0, which is likely just a matter of weeks.

I can't comment on what those fees will be, though I agree that 2.5% is particularly high for cryptocurrency conversion throughout the industry.

Discussion - The Psychology Behind Bank Card Designs

A great piece from our Social Media and Content Marketer, Marcus Soulsby, on the psychology behind bank card designs. Read the full article here

Discussing the rise of bank cards, the impact of colour in their design, and the landscape vs portrait design argument.

You can see our final design for the upcoming Plutus Debit Card featured in the article, too! 

What do you think is important to good card design? Are there any cards which have caught your eye recently?

A matter of weeks ago you also said that.

You also said full launch would be in Q1. We are now almost in Q3

Will you offer debit card in future, how and where we earn. Do you have any demo site.
