Dear Community,
Kakumai here,
official community manager, ready to answer your questions.
I've read on the website that the API will open at Q218.
Is there a way to reserve a spot on the beta list?
We do not have a whitelist, but the Early Supporter Reward is only paid up to $10,000. Everything beyond is charged at 6.5 cents. So UTRUST is not particularly interesting to "coin flippers".
If it will burn 50 million tokens every year in 20 years there won't be any token to burn.
There will always be a minimum of 100 million tokens. If this threshold is reached, we stop burning.
Wow, basically you're going to compete with paypal here or at least be the "paypal of crypto" , you have already in mind any partnership?
We have a marketing strategy in place which will be announced at a later stage. I can assure you, all very exciting.
If it's true that this product is better than paypal and bitpay than it will be huge. My biggest problem with paypal are the high transaction costs.
Not sure about PayPal since they're handling fiat. Pretty sure UTRUST is a more sophisticated solution than BitPay though!
But if you see it real, you still have more fees in addition to the 1% or? Buyer and seller need to deal also with transaction costs of the crypto, or do I see it wrong?
You would likely be correct. I will clarify this for you and post it here in the next update, but the network fee is probably still to be paid by the users themselves. Given that this will become cheaper and cheaper (IOTA is free, Litecoin will soon be too, etc), this should only add insignificant overhead.
Payment is irreversible, I would like to ask me after the purchase of goods is not satisfied with how to refund?
Escrow, provided by UTRUST.
This is explained very well in the whitepaper.
You want to create merchant like paypal?
What about mobile payment?
Not sure about a mobile merchant, but user-to-user payments are definitely planned.
UTRUST will be focused on merchants, but will also have peer-to-peer functionality for you to e.g. send funds to a friend.
I don't think they've announced that yet, but it would be foolish not to have it. everybody uses mobile for all sorts of transactions these days.
Mobile apps come in Q4 2018!
I've read about developers whose software is being bought with stolen credit cards. The buyer gets the software for free, but the kicker is when the payment processor finds out the card is stolen, it charges the software developer! So the developer doesn't only have his software stolen, which will then probably end up on the internet as a free download, but the developer also has to pay the credit card company on top of it.
Can Utrust solve that problem?
I'm honestly not quite sure this applies here since credit cards have chargebacks and crypto does not. UTRUST will not protect users from fraudulent activities on their side, but only from fraudulent sellers. If you lose your private keys, this is still your responsibility.
Own token is ERC20, right? How come that it doesn't charge fees? Are they paid by UTRUST itself? If no, enlight me please
Yes, it's an ERC-20 token. What do you mean by no fees - when making a purchase with UTRUST tokens?
Is there any competitive benchmark with other crypto solutions (not the fiat benchmark)?
There aren't many really at this point. Monetha does something remotely similar but limited to the token economy (ERC-20 token cryptocurrencies only). BitPay accepts Bitcoin only. It will take some time for this space and UTRUST positions itself in an industry that is definitely still in its infancy.
So, conversion support whole world's currencies or just the major ones like USD and Euro?
We will be launching with USD, EUR and GBP. Added more along the way.
They raised full amount on pre-ico? (as in the announcement - 1.5 mln usd). For which period they raised this amount?
And when ll be start ICO? Can anyone give me exact date?
We raised the full pre-ICO amount (50 million tokens at 3 cents) in 90 minutes and the ICO will be announced in the first week of October.
As always, I hope that my answer helped.
Thank you!
