As you already know, the 2017 public BiQ token sale was relatively small. Compounded by having almost 400 active participants in the bounty program, the number of tokens due to each bounty participant is very small.
In the months since the initial token offering, we have been actively working with individual investors, large cryptocurrency funds and blockchain influencers to increase token volume and value before we release it to public exchanges. While this process is very much in the best interest of BiQ token holders, it has necessitated a significant delay in the token release for bounty program participants.
We understand that this delay, regardless of the benefit it will provide in the long run, can be frustrating. If you would prefer to receive your bounty now rather than waiting until we release the tokens, we can send the dollar amount of what you earned in ETH rather than tokens. Please note that if you choose this option, you will only receive the amount that you originally earned, not the 4x bonus tokens. You will also not receive any tokens once the tokens are fully released.
As an example, if you earned 50 tokens, you will receive $6.00 ($0.12 x 50). The USD-ETH exchange rate that will be used is the exchange rate on the date the ETH is deposited into your wallet.
If you would like to choose this option, please email
marketing@burstiq.com. In your email, please provide us with your Bitcointalk username and the email address you used to sign up for the bounty program. We will respond to and process your request within one week from when you contact us.
Again, thank you for the work that you did for our company during the token sale. We are grateful for your support.
Cheers,
The BurstIQ Team
