Over 3k BTC first week, how do we know these are not the same Devs recycling the BTC to hype it up? Not trying to FUD.
Let them post their btc addresses used in the past. It may confirm whethere they have used to recycle or not. Most probably, they don't recycle to attract more people. I'm pretty sure that is the case, I mean not even Lisk or WAVES collected that much and specially not in their first week. Yes for transperancy and gaining trust from investors,antshares must share these addresses Once again. They did that in Post 3:

You say "(...) but other activities such as asset registration requires ANC consumption and those consumed ANC is back to the system awaiting ANS holders to initiate a claim transaction."
Does that mean not just new created ANC will be distributed to ANS-Holders but also fees? Because I thought that would also be bookkeeper-payments?
And what I don't understand is how bookkeepers will be elected. Could potentially everybody be a bookkeeper and/or is there a limited number like the federated server design in Factom?
In Factom it's about 32 federated server and additionally 32 audit server, also with an election mechanism. The voting will happen with Entry-Credits (I saw that dahongfei referred to Factom in the other thread) while it's about voting-power in relation to the shares in this project.
There is one point that I think is a little bit concerning. It's not meant critical, but if I understand it correctly: Those who hold a lot of shares will most likely also have the power to vote themselves (or guys they know) as bookkeepers in, to be paid by fees. And additionally they will claim, like all shareholders, ANC in relation to their shares. In Factom there are costs to vote (FCT must be converted to EC to vote - both is consumed/"burned" after that process).
The question of centralization vs decentralization is highly dependent on the eco-system and that's what I see as critical point at the moment. Because it seems like DPoS plus PoS. Big shareholders could vote themselves as bookkeepers in (DPoS) plus claim ANC in relation to their shares (PoS). And it's not meant personally, but the 50% of shares held by the team, at least for one year, also means voting power plus 50% of all new created ANC for one year, and 8% of the future total supply. I mean, you guys will do all the work and I have no problem regarding the money side. The ANC could be seen as another founding round and Factom for example also made an ICO plus VC-founding rounds. But how can you ensure that this will be a decentralized system, at least decentralize over time?
Please use some logic. I just try to get infos since yesterday because I wasn't even aware of this before. But obviously I've taken a deeper look into this in just 30 hours than some others who are around since day 1.

I already have some more questions while thinking about ANS and ANC and fees and the nodes.
In the whitepaper is said:
"ANC are used for
Accounting Charge payment Extra Service Charge payment Bookkeeper Nominee Deposit as collateral"
....and:
"ANC will be written into the corresponding ANS addresses proportionally. ANS holders could claim these ANC to their ANS address anytime they wish to. For example, a shareholder who has 1% of all the ANS could acquire 8*0.01=0.08 ANC in every block of the 1st year, meaning 460.8 ANC everyday."
...and:
"To write a transaction onchain, a certain number of AntCoins will be charged as accounting fees, which goes to the bookkeepers to compensate their expenditures in storage, connection and computing resources. (...) As long as more than 2/3 of the bookkeepers are willing to, a transaction can be free of charge when writing into the Antshares Blockchain. Thus, organizations using Antshares in bulk could pay the bookkeeper offchain with fiat currency without further the hassle of paying AntCoins onchain."
Bookkeeper = nodes? There is said "could pay the bookkeeper offchain" - singular? Or is that just a typo/error?
There will be 8 ANC per Block and those new created ANC will be distributed to 100% to the shareholders, right?
And those who will run the nodes will be paid with fees whenever the system is used or if 2/3 of the bookkeepers agree in fiat.
I try to think about possible price-scenarios of ANC. Thing is: If those who will run the servers could agree to take no fee but Fiat off-chain, there would be not that much incentive to care about the price of ANC or am I wrong? It's a very theoretical scenario, because it can be expected that those who will run the nodes will also hold shares and get payouts in ANC and some fees in ANC but what I try to find out in short words: Will the price of ANS and the price of ANC be connected in a predictable way or will it be more kind of surprise? ;-)
And when it comes to the question of immutability and decentralization: What could prevent a centralized scenario if, for example, a big company would hold so many shares that they could vote that many own servers as bookkeepers to get the whole system under centralized control?
My questions are really not meant critical in any way because in my opinion it's the most interesting economical design since Factom - but more complex and really not easy to understand. ;-)
Ah yes, it should be bookkeepers! Yes, all new ANC will be distributed 100% to ANS holders. And yes for the bookkeeping fees. For the ANC consumption, bookkeeping fees could use fiat directly but other activities such as asset registration requires ANC consumption and those consumed ANC is back to the system awaiting ANS holders to initiate a claim transaction. Price of ANS is the present value of a serial of ANC payments. It's like a bond. As for this ICO we are mainly distributing ANS to individual investors. In the future there might be a big company trying to buy Antshares. But as you may see from historical merger & acquisition cases, hostile takeover will definitely cost a lot. We believe the ANS price will be around the fair value normally so if hostile takeover happens, the acquiring firm will have to pay a lot more than what the system values. That will decrease the possibility of centralized control. Thanks! Thank you very much for your answers! You say "(...) but other activities such as asset registration requires ANC consumption and those consumed ANC is back to the system awaiting ANS holders to initiate a claim transaction."Does that mean not just new created ANC will be distributed to ANS-Holders but also fees?

But how can you ensure that this will be a decentralized system, at least decentralize over time? Cool, so there are actually two types of fees. One is basic bookkeeping fees that are negotiated by bookkeepers and users. Basic fees are transferred directly between them. The other one is additional service fees, including asset registration, bookkeeper candidate registration, and asset write off. Additional service fees are consumed/burned and will be redistributed to ANS holders. As for centralization vs decentralization, we use dBFT consensus algorithm, which is a combination of delegate and BFT. The bookkeepers group needs to reach at least 66% consensus. Say there are 60 bookkeepers, if a single institution wants to take control of the system, at least 40 bookkeepers should come from the institution side. That is actually very hard. I'll provide math calculation later to show you the immunity of centralization. Thanks!

Well, tempus got two very long posts asking questions and I believe I answered both of them. He asked the following questions shown above and I just posted reply a minute ago. But indeed tempus's questions are hard to reply because I need to discuss them with our CTO to make sure those questions are correctly answered. Thanks!

Having whales interested can be a very good sign.

I already have some more questions while thinking about ANS and ANC and fees and the nodes.
In the whitepaper is said:
"ANC are used for
Accounting Charge payment Extra Service Charge payment Bookkeeper Nominee Deposit as collateral"
....and:
"ANC will be written into the corresponding ANS addresses proportionally. ANS holders could claim these ANC to their ANS address anytime they wish to. For example, a shareholder who has 1% of all the ANS could acquire 8*0.01=0.08 ANC in every block of the 1st year, meaning 460.8 ANC everyday."
...and:
"To write a transaction onchain, a certain number of AntCoins will be charged as accounting fees, which goes to the bookkeepers to compensate their expenditures in storage, connection and computing resources. (...) As long as more than 2/3 of the bookkeepers are willing to, a transaction can be free of charge when writing into the Antshares Blockchain. Thus, organizations using Antshares in bulk could pay the bookkeeper offchain with fiat currency without further the hassle of paying AntCoins onchain."
Bookkeeper = nodes? There is said "could pay the bookkeeper offchain" - singular? Or is that just a typo/error?
There will be 8 ANC per Block and those new created ANC will be distributed to 100% to the shareholders, right?
And those who will run the nodes will be paid with fees whenever the system is used or if 2/3 of the bookkeepers agree in fiat.
I try to think about possible price-scenarios of ANC. Thing is: If those who will run the servers could agree to take no fee but Fiat off-chain, there would be not that much incentive to care about the price of ANC or am I wrong? It's a very theoretical scenario, because it can be expected that those who will run the nodes will also hold shares and get payouts in ANC and some fees in ANC but what I try to find out in short words: Will the price of ANS and the price of ANC be connected in a predictable way or will it be more kind of surprise? ;-)
And when it comes to the question of immutability and decentralization: What could prevent a centralized scenario if, for example, a big company would hold so many shares that they could vote that many own servers as bookkeepers to get the whole system under centralized control?
My questions are really not meant critical in any way because in my opinion it's the most interesting economical design since Factom - but more complex and really not easy to understand. ;-)
Ah yes, it should be bookkeepers! Yes, all new ANC will be distributed 100% to ANS holders. And yes for the bookkeeping fees. For the ANC consumption, bookkeeping fees could use fiat directly but other activities such as asset registration requires ANC consumption and those consumed ANC is back to the system awaiting ANS holders to initiate a claim transaction. Price of ANS is the present value of a serial of ANC payments. It's like a bond. As for this ICO we are mainly distributing ANS to individual investors. In the future there might be a big company trying to buy Antshares. But as you may see from historical merger & acquisition cases, hostile takeover will definitely cost a lot. We believe the ANS price will be around the fair value normally so if hostile takeover happens, the acquiring firm will have to pay a lot more than what the system values. That will decrease the possibility of centralized control. Thanks! Thank you very much for your answers! You say "(...) but other activities such as asset registration requires ANC consumption and those consumed ANC is back to the system awaiting ANS holders to initiate a claim transaction."Does that mean not just new created ANC will be distributed to ANS-Holders but also fees? Because I thought that would also be bookkeeper-payments? And what I don't understand is how bookkeepers will be elected. Could potentially everybody be a bookkeeper and/or is there a limited number like the federated server design in Factom? In Factom it's about 32 federated server and additionally 32 audit server, also with an election mechanism. The voting will happen with Entry-Credits (I saw that dahongfei referred to Factom in the other thread) while it's about voting-power in relation to the shares in this project. There is one point that I think is a little bit concerning. It's not meant critical, but if I understand it correctly: Those who hold a lot of shares will most likely also have the power to vote themselves (or guys they know) as bookkeepers in, to be paid by fees. And additionally they will claim, like all shareholders, ANC in relation to their shares. In Factom there are costs to vote (FCT must be converted to EC to vote - both is consumed/"burned" after that process). The question of centralization vs decentralization is highly dependent on the eco-system and that's what I see as critical point at the moment. Because it seems like DPoS plus PoS. Big shareholders could vote themselves as bookkeepers in (DPoS) plus claim ANC in relation to their shares (PoS). And it's not meant personally, but the 50% of shares held by the team, at least for one year, also means voting power plus 50% of all new created ANC for one year, and 8% of the future total supply. I mean, you guys will do all the work and I have no problem regarding the money side. The ANC could be seen as another founding round and Factom for example also made an ICO plus VC-founding rounds. But how can you ensure that this will be a decentralized system, at least decentralize over time? Cool, so there are actually two types of fees. One is basic bookkeeping fees that are negotiated by bookkeepers and users. Basic fees are transferred directly between them. The other one is additional service fees, including asset registration, bookkeeper candidate registration, and asset write off. Additional service fees are consumed/burned and will be redistributed to ANS holders. As for centralization vs decentralization, we use dBFT consensus algorithm, which is a combination of delegate and BFT. The bookkeepers group needs to reach at least 66% consensus. Say there are 60 bookkeepers, if a single institution wants to take control of the system, at least 40 bookkeepers should come from the institution side. That is actually very hard. I'll provide math calculation later to show you the immunity of centralization. Thanks! Okay, thank you for the answers! It's really an interesting project with a very interesting eco-system. It all seems very thought-out even if I don't understand it totally yet. P.S.: Invested since yesterday and I disagree with some implications/accusations that came up because of me.
