[ANN]Arweave (Techstars 2018): A new internet in a very scalable blockchain

[eXpl0sive]

Is this similar to storj ?

Storj focuses on storing data, not on archiving websites. Archain, as I understand it, is more like a snapshot of a certain website at a certain time, making it possible to see it how it used to be before it was for example censored.

You mean similar to https://screenshotmachine.com/ ?

Nope. Not even close.

Do not interpret 'snapshot' as 'screenshot'. It is an archived version of the webpage, residing on a blockchain. You should read their whitepaper. It is interesting.

I wish people would state the coin supply in their description... Could someone tell me what it is?

The OP states 50,000,000 tokens for pre-sale.
Block rewards are 105 ARC @ 5 minute block times, which is 11,037,600 ARC in the first year.  I recall reading that the block reward will reduce after the first year, but I'm not 100% on the details.  Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Edit:  Whoops, this was already answered above.

Curious how the coins will be distributed? Claim from an online wallet?

Hey all,

We've now come to the end of our pre-sale, thank you to everyone who participated and helped contribute Archain along the way, we're going to follow our development timeline as see on page one of this thread. Feel free to continue asking questions or prompting for further details here as we progress.

Our main-sale is aiming for a December start running towards March, although this is subject to change. We're going to wrap up our bounty campaigns this weekend for the pre-sale and potentially carry or start some new ones, but again subject to further inquiries.

We'll be contacting inviduals later about translations very soon too!

One last important piece of information is that we've dropped Slack and moved to Discord, you can find the Discord invitation link here.

Thanks to everyone whose supported us thus far! If you have any queries, let us know.

Archain COO

How are ARC purchased from the ICO being distributed?  I have the confirm page still up but don't recall having to place a "sent to" address when the payment was made.  Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!

Hi @Skelly747: Thanks for taking part in the pre-sale! We truly appreciate your support.

As long as you have kept your public and private keys safe, all you will need to do is enter them into the Archain client once the network launches. The anticipated launch date is late Q1 2018.

Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Thanks,
Archain Team

I'm pretty sure we must wait for the network to launch (Q1, 2018) before sending and receiving of ARC tokens is possible.

[NewbCoins]

Devs, have you move to Discord or some other? I know slack shut down. Thanks

[Archain.org]

Hi all,

@RuSS512: The price per ARC at the end of the pre-sale was 0.14 GBP.

@mrzell: Please see mikesheadroom's answer, he is precisely correct. When the network is ready to launch you will receive an email explaining how to load your wallet details.

@mikesheadroom: Thank you!

@NewbCoins: Certainly! The Discord link is as follows: https://discord.gg/2ZpV8nM . EDIT: New Discord link is here: https://discord.gg/26ymZyC . Looking forward to speaking to you over there!


Best regards,

i not understand rebrand. Archain have very good brand and recognize. AR cash seem derivative like it try to be zcash. not happy with new development

[Archain.org]

Hi NewbCoins,

Sorry to hear that you are not happy with the changing of the name of the token. This move is in order to differentiate the Archain project's token from other similarly named cryptographic tokens.

We want to reassure you that nothing else about the Archain project has changed: the Archain project is still called the Archain project. Our values, mission and direction remain entirely unchanged.

Please let us know if there is anything else you would like to know about the token name change.

Best regards,
Sam
Archain CEO.

Are the token distribution already ended? How will I know If I receive mine or not?
