Here's an update on refunds.  

Fixcrypt has sent a spreadsheet containing information on all proposed refunds to me, the ARK funds escrow agent.  This spreadsheet contains refund requests from 87 people, along with their full email address and full BTC/LSK account number.  

One refund request for 167.7424269 Lisk is missing the account number.  I am not sure what is going on there, but that is a relatively small amount and we are not going to let that glitch hold up the show here.

We have got to have open accountability for what happens to this much cash, while at the same time protecting people's privacy as Fix correctly wants to do.  

So I have taken Fix's spreadsheet and created one of my own.   My spreadsheet obscures the refund email address to only the first and last letter of the requester's name and does not include the account number.   These are the ARK refunds that are going to be processed:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J-TMHlEZ_k0OsVwLJLFBJgnIIFPvSXu4KfkNR4-1OG4/edit?usp=sharing

Fix and Axente have asked for me to authorize lump sum transfers of 35.71537483 BTC and 1389671.923 Lisk from the ARK accounts to other separate accounts they personally control, from which they propose to personally make the 87 individual refund transfers.  

From an escrow standpoint, the only people I am supposed to surrender control of a quarter-million dollars of ARK funds to is either another previously designated escrow agent or directly to a refund requester.  The correct way of doing an ARK refund is not from some new account controlled by an ARK dev, but instead to transfer the refunds directly from the ARK BTC and LSK accounts below:  
 
ARK's Bitcoin donation account : https://blockchain.info/address/3A8TEQ9dNPnJyG3BHyNERPbgZpE5DqvFeY

ARK's Lisk donation account:  https://explorer.lisk.io/address/9569486828221897676L

I am talking to Fix and Axente to see if direct refund transfers from the ARK donation accounts are possible.  I am making this post to keep everybody in the loop.  This all may seem tedious and excessive on my part, but we are talking about correctly handling a quarter million dollars.  This is the assignment and responsibility I was given.  I am not going to cut corners.  

More to come.

Thanks for update Mal Btw big whale made refund Oo. Maybe he/she wants to become delegate

I have discussed the refund situation with Axente.  He had hoped to use automation to make this refund process easier, but manual transactions directly from the ARK donation accounts with escrow control is the correct way to do this job.  Now that I have Fixcrypt's spreadsheet, I will initiate 87 seperate refund transactions directly from the two ARK donation accounts.  Then I will send these digitally signed transaction requests on to Axente for his second password approval.  I have to go to work right now, but I will initiate these 87 transactions and get them on to Axente  hopefully in the next 36 hours.

Thanks, good news! Will the Ark tokens be transferred to the mainnet automatically or will be action needed? I just want to get sure that I do not forget any deadline to release the coins.

Further, are there already plans about to add Ark on exchanges and if yes, when is it planned?

Anyone know date of Ark tech launch ?

1 Feb is the official date.

Testnet is really stable so far and we'll most likely try to launch in mid to late January.

I still have to initiate 48 Lisk refunds.  I will do that tonight over the next few hours.

By the way, a refund to 1Ey2aqpVYnb8bjmNnjQzi1RS3AfCvjDANV for 0.28286564 BTC was not in the refund spreadsheet I got from Fix this morning.  Just saying.

Those who ask for refund will cry after seeing ARK to the moon.
Any news when and how the sweepstakes reward will be paid?
thanx

They will cry hard.


Sweepstakes bounties will be added to your tec account.  Depending on circumstances, we may distribute out bounties also on an individual basis if many don't have a tec account already.

Anyone who wants to let me know their TEC account email, I will add it to the spreadsheet.

Email Winners@ark.io and let me know your TEC email address and make sure to email me using the email address of the sweepstakes winner even if it is different.

Thank!

Thank you for your quick reply.I already sent email to Winners@ark.io after i seeing my name as a winner.Should i send them email again with the tec email?What if i create a tec account from the same email i used for bounty?this step will added my reward automatically?

No it's not automatic. I will have to enter it manually. What I was going to do was email all winners at the winning email asking for the TEC email address closer to mainnet launch.

Yes, please send me an email just saying "my TEC email is the same as this one"  and I'll put a note on my logs.

Thanks!

my email for sweeptakes winner and TEC account is different
and already sent email about that, thanks.

Axente and I have digitally signed off on the individual Lisk refunds and sent the file on to Fixcrypt for processing.  Lisk refunds should be out shortly.
