The planned allocation of Anacoin is as follows:


◎   2%, 20.000.000 - Bounties and Sale Costs   ◎

◎   8%, 80.000.000 - Team.   ◎
Team Anacoins are frozen until the following two conditions are met:
i) Time: At least 1 year has passed from the main sale,
ii) Market: the Anacoin market cap has passed $100 million and daily traded value $1
million a day on a thirty day average on coinmarketcap.com or equivalent (excluding
any placements), at which point 25% (20,000,000 Anacoins) are unfrozen. Once the
market cap exceeds $500 million and the daily traded $10 million a day on a thirty day
average (excluding any placements), the remaining 75% (60,000,000 Anacoins) are
unfrozen.


◎   7.5% 75,000,000 - Early Funders & Advisors   ◎
Of the funder’s coins, 36% will be available immediately, whilst
64% are locked for 1 year. Advisors’ coins will vest equally for a 25
month period, starting from the end of the token distribution.


◎   7.5%, 75,000,000 - Follow on   ◎
We are positive on the value of Anacoins and so will release the remaining 75,000,000
steadily into the market over the next two years when the market has determined an
appropriate price.


◎   15%, 150,000,000 - Main crowdsale (18th of September)   ◎
Coins will be allocated at 50 coins per dollar ($0.02 each), with distribution to contributors
calculated at the end-of-day exchange rate for the chosen currency relative to the
dollar.
The main sale will have a hard cap of $3 million as we believe this is sufficient to build
the core of the platform over the next 18 months to a high quality. There is a soft-cap
of $1.5 million, after which point the sale can close at any time. All sales are final.


◎   60%, 600,000,000 - Foundation’s Strategic Fund   ◎
The Ananas Foundation retains 60% of the float as a strategic resource, which will be
allocated to major contributors (excluding staff and advisors) and carefully chosen
partnerships. This strategic resource will be used for the sole purpose of improving the
platform and ecosystem, which is in the interests for all involved parties.
Half of the strategic resource will be only made available on a ‘use or lose’ condition:
recipients can only use the tokens on the platform. An example of a strategic
partnership would be with a religious organisation or research group, motivated to
participate in the Ananas ecosystem. The other half of our resource will not involve a
‘use or lose’ condition, but will still be heavily driven by a trust in the recipient's’
interests aligning with those of Ananas. This ensures the ecosystem will grow develop
to benefit the token holders, the ecosystem, and the rest of our valuable supporters.

The Ananas Foundation strongly believes in the power of community, and wants to provide an opportunity for as many people as possible to be a part of our mission.

Our Vision: To Create A More Knowledgeable World

What if you could learn about Hinduism from the perspective of Christianity?

Visualise the differences between Republican and Democrat healthcare approaches?

Understand if ISIS is Islamic?

At the Ananas Foundation, a UK-registered charity, we are building a platform to do this by mapping ideologies in a common digital format and providing easy to use tools necessary to contextually navigate them.

Information without context can never be knowledge and knowledge without experience cannot be wisdom.

Our modern approach to information analysis and presentation gives us the opportunity to bridge the gap to knowledge by providing context.

This is especially important at a time when our social media bubbles and politics are causing increasing divisions in our societies and extremist groups are rapidly rising.

We have constructed the Ananas platform to provide an objective source for subjective knowledge.

Our first focus is on Islam, starting with its core text, the Quran, to help combat growing jihadist terrorism and Islamophobia.

We have created a unique structure to facilitate the creation of this based on our token, Anacoin. This is a private economy that incentivises the creation and collation of unstructured and structured data, building a resource that is comprehensive, up-to-date and authoritative.

As the value of the contextual content increases, the value of the ecosystem should also rise in turn, creating a unique structure to align incentives and reward those who have contributed to building this vital resource.

This creates real value by leveraging the crowd of individuals who would both like to understand how ideologies are formed better as well as fight extremists looking to pervert these ideologies for political gain.

As the community grows and in response to its demands, we will map out more ideologies in a common data format and provide easy to access tools to navigate and understand them.

We believe our project is necessary in an increasingly complex world and invite your suggestions and help to make a real difference.

It will not eliminate extremism, but we believe it is a necessary, if not sufficient part in the fight against it while helping many people explore their own traditions and beliefs.

This must be a community effort and we welcome your help and input in achieving our goals.

The best suggestion to improve our platform will receive a special bonus, details to be announced soon!

Who we are

The Ananas team consists of a diverse team from a range of backgrounds and faiths, but with a common goal of helping to integrate communities, educate the public and reduce extremism.

We are aggressively growing the team in the coming months as many share our ideals and goals, but have lacked the structure to help achieve them.

We are independent of any government or religious organization.

Please click on the above link for more information on the core team members, if you would like to join us in our mission, please email information@ananas.org.uk

for sure! Later will be back here. Till then, leaving 2 note for you! The Bloomburg and retuers
link of press section are not working! bloomberg [ error 404 ] and retuers [ redirecting

You can copy/paste both of them from bounty ANN. That's working correctly.

Thanks!

Thanks @eye4bd, we are doing a big revamp this weekend after a crazy first week.

It has been quite the learning experience for the whole team ahead of the main ICO and we are in talks with several major groups to support this initiative.

i want reserve indonesian translation if you need
maybe if open ico selling you need promotion use signature campaign, is enough use bounty campaign payment use anacoin

[Hamukione]

The first ever SJW coin.

[Emadm]

i want reserve indonesian translation if you need

Hi SimpeleSimpele,

We may do a signature campaign for the main ICO, we reserved 200,000 Anacoins for bounties but have only allocated 150,000 so far.

We have some Indonesian translation in the works, but there are also bounties for moderation and managing the Indonesian community, we think that this resource will be particularly valuable in Indonesia given recent developments, for example the recent Ahok court case.

For those reading this thread who do not know the circumstances of this, you can see the details here:

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2017/04/indonesia-ahok-muslim/523002/

In summary, the Christian Governor of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, was alleged to have defamed the Quran by saying that his opponents use of verse 51 of the fifth chapter of the Quran, known as al Maidah (the feast) was intended to "threaten and deceive" and might make some of the citizens not vote for him.

The governor had to step down in May after being convicted of blasphemy with a potential two year jail sentence (lots of politics around that.. was even more than the prosecutor asked for..).

As noted in the whitepaper and our website, our first focus at Ananas is the Quran, before branching out into other scriptures and non-religious ideologies as we get a critical mass of researchers and members of the appropriate communities.

As the platform grows, any individual so inclined would be able to dig into as much depth as they wanted on the nuances of Quran 5:51 and the interpretative traditions around it, including whether certain interpretations were acceptable within the analytical framework of, for example, the Yemeni-Shafi branch of Sunni Islam which is prevalent in Indonesia, at least up to the point of reasonable doubt.

With a centralised, "objective subjective" point of reference like this, politicisation of reilgion can occur extremely easily as it has here, where the interpretative tradition has sufficient flexibility to confirm that Ahok did not blaspheme.

Given the traditionally localised structure of Islam in Indonesia and emergence of hypertextualism that has hidden inside it, we wouldn't be surprised to see more cases like this and the emergence of a very literalist, non-contextual set of politics gaining ground.

So if any Indonesians (or those from any country!) would like to help in any way, please do email us at information@ananas.org.uk or join our slack.

For the record, I personally think that blasphemy laws are counter-productive and should be scrapped and hope this ruling is overturned on appeal (even the prosecutor appealed (!)).

[abdillahzidan]

Great project,,good luck and succes to ANA coins

[Emadm]

The first ever SJW coin.

I think there is as big an issue with the left misunderstanding the right as the right misunderstanding the left.

This excerpt from The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt is pertinent:

https://twitter.com/edwest/status/838691283094933504

It's only getting worse

[Emadm]

So If I understand this correctly, your platform will be somewhat of a merging of wikipedia and  steemit. From what I can see you will have a challenge getting this platform marketed to the intended audience as a go-to source, however I wish you Good luck!

Thanks stillmad, every bit of luck counts!

We are collating feedback for the next version of the whitepaper and final plan ahead of the main ICO in September, but the idea is that it will be a bit different:

1. Steemit and Wikipedia are designed to be decentralised. We are aiming to have a decentralised area where the 'unstructured'/less structured data lives, where the foundation and any Anacoin holders can commission pieces and reward submissions.

This data is then collated into structured data sets by approved members of individual communities aided by some Smart programming/AI on the standardised data sets.

For example the ithna ashari (Twelver) Shia, ie those in Iran and large parts of Iraq, would have their ontology, the Greek Orthodox Church would have theirs. These ontologies are then available in the the customised consumer app, the first of which is the Quran.

The Foundation will have to form ties with each community to get stamps of approval on those curated data sets, but isn't there to make judgement calls, unless the ideology calls to violence against others or charges for enlightenment.

Part of the inspiration for this was the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy: https://qz.com/480741/this-free-online-encyclopedia-has-achieved-what-wikipedia-can-only-dream-of/ and the work of Claude Shannon

2. Community is everything and we underemphasised that we want active and engaged members from each ideology on the platform to be organised not only to create and collate resources (digital and real life), but to answer questions in a safe area both from members of their own ideology wanting to learn more and those from outside with genuine questions. For the trolls and those looking to engage in apologetics we have some plans to allow them their own arena.

For Islam in particular the resources for 1.6 billion are pretty poor, there is nothing like www.logos.com or even near it meaning that while there is huge engagement with the Quran (93% of Muslims iirc) there is minimal understanding, or even knowledge of where to go for understanding..

Same for non-Muslims, where reliably can they go for a smooth, well-thought-out, trustworthy set of information?

That's what makes this so interesting.

Fingers crossed.

[jiya jaena]

no airdrop for anacoin sir??

Where's the original thread? Created this one to avoid all the negativities from the old one? Your ambition is too much I can say.

[Emadm]

Where's the original thread? Created this one to avoid all the negativities from the old one? Your ambition is too much I can say.

The original thread can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2035149.0, it was locked like many others due to the bounty thread having stakes for ANN thread posting, which was wrong.

We checked all was ok with mprep and did new thread on their request.

The original thread has some negativity but we remained respectful and give full explanations as anyone can see. The homophobia was a bit concerning however.

I do not understand the stance that we are trying to be too ambitious.

Creating a contextual Quran as a first step is very manageable with the right support.

The information is all out there but just needs to be organised.

Blockchain is a means to organise individuals in unique was as Naval Ravikant outlined in his market economy tweetstorm referenced in our white paper.

We also note that we won't stop extreme explicitly up top, but we do think we can help by creating a resource like this, which would quickly be superior to the alternatives out there.

If this can stop one hate crime or individual being radicalised it will have been worth it for us, we think it can do so much more.

We believe that makes this worthy of support and is why we are working on this project and hope others will join us.

We will be having a public  competition shortly for better ideas as we would love to hear them.

Your making a coin so people can pay to educate themselves on other religions  ? i think this shit is free for everyone on google . . if they really want to know.

Presale? WTF . . What exactly is it that your selling ? yeah coins i know . . but for what reason . . . what other than education i can get for free will this offer me ?

If your so ambitious to spread the love and stop the hate why not do it for free on a forum.  webhosting is 3.99 a month . . . could come from your pocket.

Where else is the value in buying this coin ?

[Emadm]

We are writing up the full tokenomics and will be putting it up on our Medium blog shortly along with full ICO details.

The usage of the coins within the platform are for commissioning content, sponsoring parts and rewarding contributions.

As we note in the white paper information is everywhere, but contextual information, i.e. Knowledge, is harder to find.

The aim of Ananas is to map the worlds ideologies and resources related to these and make them easy to access and navigate, a knowledge graph for ideology if you will.

This does not exist today and is something that we believe would be useful to individuals within their own ideologies (the main users) and to those outside those ideologies looking in (a bonus)

To give an example of platform utility, how would you go about determining if ISIS was Islamic as a non-Muslim?

Googling won't get you too far as the primary organisation on the knowledge graph is backlinking. Wikipedia has its own notion of objectivity.

If you could have a platform where significant structural work had been done or where you know you could ask someone from that community it would be much easier.

For a Muslim this would make understanding their religion a lot easier and help them avoid mount stupid.

As more ideologies are mapped by their respective communities Anacoins will become more in demand and the value of the platform will increase even faster as then you can do cross ideological mapping.

...

Where else is the value in buying this coin ?

A forum will be a part of this, but the goal is standardised mapping of the ideological data sets and the inter relationships between key elements (ontologies) within them.

This dataset is needed as the backing to create the resource needed and is the hard organisational problem that we believe wouldn't have been possible without blockchain. Even then people tend to only want to do their own ideology whereas we want to try and model as many as possible to really understand what makes great, positive ideologies and ones that mutate into hideous ideologies that commit literal holocausts.

As I've noted before the problems seem to be getting worse and we are open to hearing any better ideas 

[TheCrimsonFucker]

Your initiative is interesting and very positive, but how do you want to generate value for Anacoin? And why did you choose that name? Where are the team and supply information of the coin? Will the project continue if ICO fails?

[ANA_Anacoin]

Hi TCF,

Your initiative is interesting and very positive, but how do you want to generate value for Anacoin?

We will be putting up our full details of the tokenomics of Anacoin shortly, but we have designed the token/currency to increase in value in line with the utility and popularity of the platform

The delay has been due to us reviewing dozens of ICOs and their sales and allocation models to ensure we (hopefully) employ best practice.

And why did you choose that name?

Ananas is the same in most languages of the world, representing our aim to help increase contextual communication amongst those of differing backgrounds.

We have the trademark and multiple domain names and thought it a nice brand to build on (although there are some issues with the name in Turkey and France due to the actions of certain individuals).

Plus the team likes pineapples  

Where are the team and supply information of the coin?

The team information is on the website, but we have updated the original post to give direct details & LinkedIn profiles.

We have also updated the supply information of the coin and as mentioned will be providing more details soon.

New coins are only minted if the foundation receives over $100,000 in fiat for this project, with tokens equivalent to 50% of that amount being minted monthly for the foundation and being locked for 2 years.

As noted before, full tokenomics and our thinking behind it to come shortly.

Will the project continue if ICO fails?

Yes, we have several alternate funding streams and models and the team has been working on this project for three years, really trying to understand how ideologies are formed, where they turn positive and where they turn evil and how to try to aid the former and halt the latter.

The current funding for the project to date should shortly exceed £400,000 and we are in touch with several major funders. We are adamant about not giving up any editorial control in exchange for funding of any type.

We believe that given strong institutional and press relationships, a verifiable and experienced multifaith team, minimal technical risk and a worthy cause we should comfortably exceed our soft-cap target for the main token sale.

The pre-sale has been a good learning experience in advance of this, highlighting several areas where we need to bring on more resource and improve.

We will be sharing our learnings from this in the coming weeks.

[Emadm]

Hi Jiya, I'm afraid not, but we do have a bounty thread available
