btw Rob, any water-level report regarding exchanges? Seems to have gotten a lot tougher to get listed these days. (edited)

blackpete [8:15 AM]
or are there any considerations to list INCNT on Waves DEX first? Make it some sort of exclusive?
rob [8:19 AM]
I can tell you that the relationship between Waves and Incent is very tight and that we shall defo be making the market for Incent with them. I had made overtures to Bittrex and, to a lesser extent, Poloniex, but ultimately this proved a mildly distasteful business.
[8:21]
We are a Waves token. This is where I have pitched our tent and it's a decision I am very comfortable with.
blackpete [8:23 AM]
thank you for clarifying and your open words. Market making on Waves is a very good idea in my opinion. This is a marathon and not a sprint.
[8:24]
Both Waves and Incent can profit massively of the first successfull CAT on the Waves platform.
marousi [8:25 AM]
bingo
rob [8:29 AM]
So I should be clear that we are (jointly) thinking way bigger than this. Allow me to explain...
[8:29]
Within the next week we shall be launching this site
http://icotech.me[8:30]
...as a side project.
[8:30]
Incent will be baked in. Allowing us to support market price, in advance of core product launch.
[8:31]
Sasha sees its potential to bring business to Waves and will support with marketing horsepower from the get go.
[8:32]
My team will also swing back into action on marketing.
[8:32]
We are in the process of negotiating our first big ICO.
[8:33]
The result will be a Waves token that resides on both Waves and Ethereum blockchains.
[8:34]
More generally, this will keep Incent at the cutting edge in the building of the Waves CAT community, with us in the centre of those relationships, and our stack ready to white-label to projects as they come on line...
[8:35]
...all with Incent baked in.
marousi [8:35 AM]
very very good @rob
rob [8:36 AM]
I want to stress that none of this detracts from our core dev roadmap. Instead it complements and leverages it, to the benefit of our backers.
marousi [8:36 AM]
even better
rob [8:37 AM]
This is exactly where I wanted us to be at the start of 2017. The team are, as you can imagine, stoked, and we are ready to press hard.
blackpete [8:37 AM]
Rob, you are a free-thinker and very creative entrepreneurial mind. However, please don't get carried away and focus on incent's core product. This was your pitch and that is what your investors lined up for. Now, please tell me, how the same team that works on incent now has a side-project and that this side-project does not take away any ressources
[8:39]
besides that, I totally support the idea behind icotech.me. Its a missing link
[8:39]
and I have been playing around with a similiar idea myself
rob [8:39 AM]
Good question. So the core ICO Tech is built and basically deplorable on a key. What my devs now need to focus on is the core stack. The rest of us can market this while they do that.
[8:40]
Remember, an ICO and other client that wishes to tokenise their business is no different from a merchant client where Incent is concerned. The better they do the more Incent is sold and the greater the sport for the price of Incent on the secondary market.
[8:41]
This is a way for us to stimulate demand quicker than we had originally thought possible.
[8:42]
And if it pays for itself we will hire against it.
[8:43]
It is - I want to stress - completely synergous with our core mission.
[8:43]
It simply leverages tech and expertise we have to support Incent and Waves.
blackpete [8:44 AM]
probably a good decision business-wise. You know your ressources better than anyone and I trust you in that regard. An ICO is primarily not about a promise anyway...its about investing in a team (edited)
rob [8:44 AM]
Pete, trust me, things are lining up nicely.
[8:45]
In the meantime I'll publish a roadmap shortly. I need to bring you guys into the tent on this so you can keep us honest.
