[ANN] Golos, a graphene based social platform. White paper of Golos Fund added

[serejandmyself]

Golos (meaning voice in Russian) is the official, (once) licensed fork (the license was opened to public by Steem) of the steemit network.

Original ANN topic in the Russian language can be found here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1624364.0

UPDATE - As Golos is undergoing some huge changes. Here is a link to the Golos Fund White paper in English. It will also be posted as a reply for users to read on.

As part of the agreement with steem ink, and in order for Russian speaking users around the globe to be early investors, there was almost no information about the coin or its ICO in English. Since the Golos network has payed out its first payment to authors, and based on a large number of requests from users, we have decided to transalte some of the information to English.

Golos is now undergoing huge transformation, with an ongoing embedding of some of Bitshares best qualities, like multisig, own tokens, smart coins and so on.

golos.io is a webiste based on the media blockchain resource Golos, which is run on the graphene technology. Just like in steemit, community appreciation is an actual reward by itself, with posts, comments and other participation rewarded in a cryptocurrency token called Golos.

However Golos is, slighlty different to steemit. One of the differences is that Golos has had an ico, rather than bieng based on early mining. The ICO was intnded for .ru internet and has collected just over 600BTC (with just over 9000 participants), which is a crowd funding record for the Russian based internet community.



This is the ICO distribution list. Translated as following:

60% - of the tokens, were distributed at the public crowdsale that ended in December (the BTC collected were distributed as following: 70% development fund, 10% faunders, 10% steemit inc, 10% cyberfund)
10% - was sharedroped to steemit token holders (certain rules were applied. In order to get a sharedrop, users had to have had a certain level of activity on their account (snapshot was taken back in October) (out of which 4.84% went to steemit inc as part of license payment, and 0.35% went to exchanges)
10% - of the coins went to cyberfund, that funded the initial launch of the network and payed for all the development
8.98% - has been saved on the @golos account as a reserve development and registration fund
7% - went to the founders (in equal 8 parts)
3% - went to the launching witnesses
1.02% - was reserved to be payed to authors up until the first payout, which has happened about a week ago


Right now, golos is run by a team of developers, and could be found (along with the launching team) here:

What do you mean? What is ICO under license from steemit? I never heard ICO needs what license? If it is true, I can't understand why, cuz ICO is decentralized, no need for that censored shit.

Steemit ink is a company and has license rules, so we were obliged to follow the rules

Mercatox is not yet a popular exchanges,it's better to set up a bounty for voting your coin to mercatox and in my opinion it will not have a hard time to get into voting exchanges if you ask your fellow russians to participate sinc ethis is Russian targeted venture.

[Coin_trader]

as per OP, this coin is for the russian community, so is there any chance that this coin be used by the other nationalities? if it's for russian then, what is the purpose of this thread in English.
based on this, the ICO is quite successful and it raised huge amount of BTC, then it would be better if this coin will be made for anyone, any nationalities. share us your good project so we can gain from this.

You misunderstood. Our platform was originally created for the rus-community, but our coin - international. And if our coin has investment appeal - welcome to the exchange.

Will Golos be matching Steemit technologically moving forward? By that I mean, when the STEEM blockchain implements some change, will the Golos blockchain be matching it?

Also I see there is lots of application development going on with STEEM. For instance a forum, a website publishing platform, and a Disqus clone. Will Golos be implementing such applications for the Russian market as well?

We do have our own decisions. For example the coming 16.1 is going to be in change with some economic differences to Steemit
