[ANN] FundRequest : Platform for rewarding open source contributions

[GoBelle]

So can multiple people contribute their tokens toward a single bounty?

I think this would be essential. Allowing people to pool their resources to make huge bounties for very important tasks would be too good to pass up.

Yes, definitely. Not yet in our first release, but in a future release we will add the possibility to crowdfund bounties in any ERC20 compliant token.

That's awesome! Is the pre-ICO already over? If so, when is the next good time for me to get in?

The token sale is not planned yet, we first want to have a release on mainnet. You can already register for the token sale and you will receive our newsletter with all updates.

You have a working prototype right now?

I'd love to see it, if so.

Does anyone else know if they have a prototype?

That's great. Glad to see you guys are constantly improving and polishing too.

Before I do a bunch of research and find out the sale is already over, can you just tell me if I'm too late? If not, when is the ICO?

Sale still has to start, we are in the presale face at the moment, and building our whitelist. Many questions have been asking and answered in our telegram, so that is a place where you will be able to find fast answers to question you may have : https://t.me/fundrequestofficial

We also like to share a blog post, where we introduce the team behind FundRequest, you can find it here on blog : https://blog.fundrequest.io/introducing-the-team-behind-fundrequest-f1d53f541a7

Thanks for the reply. I don't mind waiting a bit for a reply. Presale has already started?

Yes it open

What will the fees be like on this platform?

There will not be any fees. They only costs is the price of the ethereum transaction.
Our goal is to reach mass adoption, hence no fees, and in a 2nd stage add premium features for intensive users. Similar approach of what Linkedin did.

An example of a premium feature is to get notified first on high value requests,...

One of the milestones we've included in our roadmap is the development of a Chrome browser add-on so that you can fund issues on your favorite platform. Why did you choose Chrome?

We will use the MetaMask plugin to fund an issue and Metamask only runs in Chrome. Hence the choice.

We will also create plugins for other browsers in a later stage. We might fund their development using the FundRequest platform ;-)

Who are the biggest partners of FundRequest?

One of the main investors is 1kx capital (some info on what they do : https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2017/12/126194-40-million-private-placement-ico-aelf-raises-55k-ether-private-token-sale/)
But most of the funds we were able to collect from a bunch of smaller investors, a real community effort. And from looking at the way our whitelist is growing it appears that we will again have to set a low individual cap to make sure everyone has a chance to take part.

I love low individual caps. I hate when as soon as the ICO goes live it's sold out within a minute and 90% of people can't get in.

Seems like a good plan of action. The ICO should be able to fund the project to get you through to mass adoption too so that you can add the premium features later.

During 24hrs everyone will be able to get in, maybe with less then they would like , but after 24hrs they have to chance to try to get more, but then it's not guaranteed.

How many transactions per second can your platform handle?

[GoBelle]

What's the initial cost per token in USD?

How many transactions per second can your platform handle?

What's the best way to contact you besides telegram, because they require a cell phone number which I find completely necessary?

Are there any updates for FundRequest?

That's an excellent way to do it. Low cap the first 24 hours so you get a diverse investment group. After that 24 hours, make it a free for all. I'm surprised I don't see this more often, did you come up with it yourself?

I've never seen that either. Great idea.
