Can someone help a complete idiot - me.
I've been thinking about bying into AirToken but what can I do with the AirTokens when I get them, the only thing I can see is that I can only use them to pay for mobile phone time/data using one of the two apps, Airfox Browser or Airfox Recharge ($10,000 worth of AirToken would last me several lifetimes talking on the phone) and why no Windows/Linux wallet ? My question is, can I sell AirToken for some other altcoin or fiat, and how would I do that.
Thanks.
A couple excerpts from the Whitepaper relevant to this: We are launching AIR as an Ethereum ERC20-compliant token for a more efficient and decentralized mobile ecosystem across carriers, advertisers, publishers, and users.
1. Users: Access to mobile capital via micro-loans and advertisers. AIR will be used as the ledger of record for the user’s smart-phone data and personal information. Users will receive AIR rewards for opt-in advertising (instead of the ads being an invisible burden on their data) and micro-loans of AIR based on our internal AirFox user “credit-score,” furnished by AirFox for AirFox internal underwriting guidelines only. Users can redeem AIR for mobile data recharges across prepaid carriers around the world, and eventually physical and digital products, across publishers and advertisers.
2. Carriers: AirFox will programmatically buy airtime and data in bulk from carriers. Carriers want to maximize spectrum and data usage from subscribers in order to maximize revenue. AirFox will purchase data at a discount in bulk across carriers. Users will be able to redeem their AIR into their carrier’s pre-paid account to use for other services outside of mobile data. The carrier benefits from these extra micro-transactions that did not exist before as well as bulk data purchases.
3. Advertisers: Advertisers will have higher ROI, fewer intermediaries, better data targeting, less fraud and low-income user access. Advertisers and developers will be able to target and reach the unbanked prepaid subscriber. Advertisers and programmatic networks can also choose to directly sponsor all or a segment of users with AIR for opt-in, attention or engagement.
4. Publishers: Publishers will have higher monetization, new user reach and a better user experience. Publishers can implement our AIR reward, micro-loan and advertising system to enable higher user output. Publishers can offer an in-app purchase, digital products and physical products as a microloan. They can also allow users to one-click buy their services using their AIR balance. Advertising-based publishers can also reward the users with AIR for being active users or by creating an actionable moment within the publisher's application, website, or other software capable of AIR integration. AirFox intends to the funds raised via the token sale to buy data in bulk, develop the micro loans program, and expand its consumer-facing business worldwide. AIR will be used across all of our platforms and products. AIR will first be contained to the Browser and Recharge apps, eventually we expect to open up the token to external publishers and advertisers in order to directly enable mobile capital access in their own properties using AIR. AIR will be a utility for mobile data, and eventually it should be further used as we roll-out micro-loans and allow external AIR developers and advertisers to launch our advertising reward and microloan system within their apps and properties. A couple of suggested resources to check out: https://www.airtoken.com/paper/AirFoxICO_WhitePaper_v3.0.pdfhttps://www.airtoken.com/paper/MicroLoan_whitepaper_v1.pdfhttps://www.airtoken.com/press/index.htmlhttps://www.airtoken.com/ - F.A.Q. at the bottom of the page.

All very interesting, but simply ( and may I say lazily ) quoting the white paper did not answer my question - I think I'll give this ICO a miss.

When you intent to provide micro loans with your platform, wouldn't it be better to have a pegged currency for that? Or how is volatility being coped with?
Someone who has a clue might comment on this?

Someone who has a clue might comment on this? The short answer is that nothing is really pegged, and some of the fiats of the world are actually the most volatile currency. Especially in some areas where mobile use is most expensive.

Why is it that only ETH is being accepted in the public ICO? Shouldnt it be more easier to reach the cap if more options are available?

It is an ETH-based ICO and token. It will interact with an ETH smart contract throughout the sale, completion, and creation. Use of other currencies is not impossible in such situations, but it generally does add complexity and some processing delay on non-ETH currency, which can cause some to miss the sale if they decide to use something besides ETH to deposit. These, and other factors, are part of why the decision was made to go with ETH only.

The idea of the project is rather curious. Unlimited access to the Internet for everyone, who has got a smartphone, sounds really attractive.

AirFox is an existing company with working products already available on the market, that is already saving people money. From the whitepaper: "...Over the last year, AirFox’s business-to-business platform has enabled more than 2 million unique U.S. prepaid wireless subscribers to reduce their mobile costs while helping wireless carriers better serve their customers. AirFox has also delivered over 1B+ impressions to advertisers helping them reach the lower socioeconomic audience." http://www.airtoken.com/paper/AirFoxICO_WhitePaper_v1.5.pdfCarrier list: https://www.airtoken.com/press/files/Airfox-airtime-coverage.csvGlobal expansion is coming fast.
