[ANN] Lucyd - Welcome to Lucyd, the new Augmented Reality World

[Lucyd]

Does anyone know how much fund has been raised?

$6.1 million, what we need to get the hardware beta out.

[Lucyd]

The project will be useful to many! How is the project developing, what are the latest news?
I'm very interested in the further implementation of the project!

We have begun R&D and are on schedule with the roadmap (lucyd.co/roadmap)

Tokens release this week with a delay for bounty and affiliate tokens.

Seeking listing on exchanges, so far confirmed on Nebula and Blockbid.

[Lucyd]

Will it be possible to buy smart glasses only for cryptocurrencies? Or fiat money, too?

You will be able to buy our hardware with any currency, including USD and BTC. But we are trying to power our AR content marketplace wholly on the LCD token, to let developers keep more traditional app revenue and improve the convenience and security. We plan to make it extremely easy to acquire and liquidate LCD tokens as needed, completely within the smartglass interface. We see the true potential of LCD bridging value in the real world with that in the AR world, letting users join our platform and purchase content anonymously, and giving more control over content to the community with a token-based ratings system for apps and media.

[Lucyd]

So do the devs of this smartglass also the ones who will develop the apps? Or will it be open source for third party developers?

Both! We are developing our own software, mainly focusing on the operating system/interface. We have signed 12 official partners, 10 of which are AR app developers who we will be working closely with to deliver great content.

Additionally, we are developing a decentralized app marketplace for Lucyd Lens which will enable anyone to start creating and sharing AR content, easily and freely.

[Lucyd]

When the product will be started for commercial usage at that scale ? These smart glass can be revolutionary and see huge appreciation in future. We see everyone having positive attitude for the product. What is next on the to do list after successful ending of fund raising ?

We have begun R&D and are on track to release our beta in Q1 2019. After a few months of beta testing we should be ready for commercial release!

[Lucyd]

Guys do you know has the project been audited and by whom?

We have had a series of audits both on the whitepaper (by ICOrating) and on our smart contract (by Backes SRT GmbH). Furthermore, as part of a public UK company Tekcapital, Lucyd's finances are being fully audited by KPMG LLP.

[Lucyd]

I stumbled upon this on Telegram and I must say I'm glad to be here. This is a great project and as well a promising one. I will be watching this closely. But what is the best way to follow the latest updates? This thread doesn't seem very active....

Our telegram group t.me/lucyd_en is best place to stay connected, there we send push notes for most critical updates. Twitter.com/lucydltd and lucyd.co/blog are also good info points.

[Lucyd]

Why we are not hearing anything from the team lately? Are they have nothing to tell us?

Check twitter and telegram (t/me/lucyd_en) for real time updates.

We have the R&D team fully engaged and are on track to meet the goals in lucyd.co/roadmap.

This month we have been very busy with token distribution (happening this week), bonuses and refunds, so the news flow has a been a little slow, apologies!

[Lucyd]

Sad that the team change total raised funds from 7 to 6.1 The base price will be less...

Apologies for this, because of the large number of unauthorized US residents joining the ICO, we had to shore back our funds raised amount.

We will actually be burning more tokens because of this so it should have a positive impact on the price--not to mention the refunded Americans have a expressed a desire to recoup their tokens on exchanges, which should have a positive effect as well.

[Lucyd]

where can I read about your business model? Im very curious how exactly this project will be profitable for their founders

We have a revenue model based on a few things: sales of smartglass hardware, commissions based on AR content sold on the tokenized app store we're developing, and network fees on use of the LCD token.

You can read a full breakdown of Lucyd's business model in the whitepaper on lucyd.co.

[Lucyd]

What is the team is going to do next?? What is the next milestone in the project after ICO??

We are in development, on track for the beta in Q1 2019. We are also seeking listing on token exchanges and seeking new development partners.

[sashadoc]

What exchanges have you contacted and what is the plan for their deployment?

[Lucyd]

What are your future plans, team? Do you have smth interesting in store for us?

We are on schedule to deliver the beta Lucyd Lens to token holders in Q1 2019.
We are also developing the Lucyd optics eshop which will be the main distribution channel for our products, as well as an AR app marketplace powered by the LCD token.
Furthermore, we are currently seeking listing on token exchanges (2 small ones confirmed thus far)

[Lucyd]

what exchanges the LCD will be listed?

Nebula.exchange will be first (in a few weeks.) We are also confirmed on Blockbid but they are not live for another month or two. We are in talks with several more exchanges.

[Lucyd]

Guys where is the Lucyd company officially registered?

Singapore, but wholly owned by a public UK company (Tekcapital, LON:TEK)

[Lucyd]

At what stage is the development of the product now?

We are in R&D pre-alpha prototype. Alpha expected later this year, beta early next year.

[Lucyd]

we are looking forward to the progress of this project, hopefully the team can make this project a success

Tell me, are there any people who have experienced these smart glasses? I'm curious what feelings they had.

We have not released a prototype for testing yet. The beta will release to ICO participants Q1 2019. Lucyd is only a few months old!

[Lucyd]

Hi, I have a question.
Will we just be sending our Eth from a person's wallet to an address? And then smart contract sends us the token in return?
Sorry if this is a noob question, I'm actually new to crypto.
Anyway the project is cool! Thank you.

Most ICO's operate like that but we actually have a custom built account system at lcd.lucyd.co. However token purchasing is closed since Feb 28th, but we will be listed on token exchanges soon.

[Lucyd]

Guys where is the best way to get the latest new about this project? Telegram group?

Yes TG is best place to stay updated, t.me/lucyd_en.

[Lucyd]

Team, what are your further plans? What are you going to do now?

We have begun our R&D project and developing our distribution channel.

Beta on schedule for Q1 2019.
