@coins101 @karmashark - some notes on the website:
Quote: Helium is building an entirely peer to peer payments network, giving users the same services that an online processor like PayPal does, without the risk of having someone else control your money and information. Helium's is applying for several patents to enable the network to compete with traditional banks and online payment networks. The new approach will revolutionize the way digital currencies are used by ordinary everyday people, removing the barrier of entry to using cryptocurrency and offering the first ' killer app' to the blockchain space. The Master Node network is a dedicated group of computers that help maintain security by bringing a greater level of decentralization to the process. The Master Node network will also allow act like a savings account paying an attractive return on deposited funds that can be withdrawn at any time by users.
Notice the items in bold red. I believe they need to be revised.
First item - doesn't need 's Second item - doesn't need work allow
Quote: Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) is quickly becoming the standard method of utilising the power of decentralized networks. Helium's cloud blockchain services takes the concept of Master Nodes and builds a robust economy around it, providing security and longevity to the network. All types of cloud services can be offered via Service Nodes, which acts as a support layer to the Master Node network. Using an Uber type rating system, service providers are rated by the network and by users to ensure everyone is getting the maximum benefits out of the being part of the Helium network. Service Nodes allow anyone using the Helium network to run a Bitcoin full node in the background by just launching an app on a smartphone. This greatly increases personal security by creating an encrypted connection between your smartphone and a network like Bitcoin, along with increasing the underlying security of the network itself. If service providers choose to offer different digital currencies, you would also able to run the full node of any other digital currency of your choice within the Helium Service Node network.

Absolutely love the discussions going on here, thank you all for contributing. Many of the good questions here have been answered however for those who are still left wanting for more information, please head on over to our Helium slack channel. All project topics are discussed there in detail, including the algo and the commentary behind the decision making process (we will be looking at the merits of branching off from x11 once we fork away from the DASH codebase). https://heliumslack.herokuapp.com/slack NEVER works properly for me ... linux - fedora 25 x64 ... ive always got issues with slack ... this puts me at a major disadvantage mate ... #crysx Coins and I are working on a solution for this given we wish you to be actively involved. Stay tuned mate. very much appreciated mate ... i will try with various browsers and see what could be the issue ... slack doesnt use any special protocols or anything does it? ... is there a fedora 25 native app i can use - like i did a little while ago? ... the devs stopped the development and it was actually a damn good product for slack - scudcloud ... was a very nice very light app for slack connectivity ... but the repo is out dated now and i cant seem to connect with the original devs ... anyone know of any 'decent' apps for fedora 25? ... #crysx Windows wallet is pretty sweet, so we'll be needing your input pretty soon. We'll need to figure this comms stuff out. Perhaps skype will be the way to go for coordinating development that affects everyone contributing to the infrastructure.

New website is done and will updated to HeliumPay.com in the next day or so. Also, we are about to hit a landmark with 300 followers in the Helium Slack channel. Not too shabby for minimal marketing during our pre-launch phase. See you all there: https://heliumslack.herokuapp.com/

Should it not be called something else than a swap? To my understanding people will own both SPR and HLM on snapshot date.

You are correct. What is happening is a coin redemption, as the owner will receive Helium equal to their Spreadcoin while keeping both currencies afterwards.

Correct me if I'm wrong...my understanding is at time of snapshot, your helium coins allotted will be equal to your current balance of spreadcoin at the exact instance of snapshot? Or is there a certain window of time after snapshot that you can buy /mine more spreadcoin and still have those credited toward your helium allotment? (I know, that's kinda sneaky eh? ) If not (which is what I'm guessing is the case) will there be an ann of the time of snapshot before it happens. Because that is undoubtedly gonna spike the price of Spread and currently I'm waiting (as I'm sure many others are too) for a good buy in price and don't want to be caught waiting when snapshot (ann) occurs. hey i know! maybe have a pre ann for the ann. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

We are using the snapshot to fix the number of coins we will close mine. Once we hit a target number of coins, we will open up mining to everyone with a hard fork. So we will mine 1,000 hlm blocks for about 3 weeks or so. At block height [xxxxxx] we will look to fork off the 1,000 hlm blocks and back to a regular schedule. All those 1,000 blocks x 2.5 minute x ~3 or 4 weeks mining will be used to distribute coins for SPR redemption. That will generate the conditions for a fork off SPR. We might have to overshoot a little to ensure we match the SPR and HLM snapshots as it might be difficult to 100% predict the SPR mining schedule - two chains mining to a singular point for 3 or 4 weeks, and then diverging. So we can't keep giving out free coins for SPR swaps after the snapshot date. Sorry about that ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

The official website is now updated at http://HeliumPay.comThank you for your patience while we sorted out everything. If you find any glaring issues on the website when viewed on various platforms / browsers, please submit the information to us in the Helium Slack channel so I can take care of it: https://heliumslack.herokuapp.com/Edit: I will get a SSL certificate for us when we update the site prior to network launch.

You are correct. What is happening is a coin redemption, as the owner will receive Helium equal to their Spreadcoin while keeping both currencies afterwards. Thanks for clearing that up. I suggest you edit this part on the first page of this thread for clarity: " Effective cut off date for swap".
