This sounds like an interesting concept, but I have a few questions:
Do you have connections in the commercial airlines space? It sounds like this is something you would need to be partnered with an airline to pull off.
Have you done a technical analysis of the space to see if this is even possible? I assume you would need to interface with each airlines system in order to provide your solution. Do you need to book the flight through the blockchain as well? If not, how do you validate users as well as their need for a voucher?
The language in your white paper suggests you already have some sort of technology. Do you have a prototype or will the people coming on be building from scratch?
You plan on giving advisers approximately 5% of a potentially $50 mil ICO with a vesting period of only 6 months. Why?
Finally, why do you need a CTO, Project Manager, and Lead Developer? In a startup, they are all the same person. You only have 82 days until your ICO and you don't have a product. This is exactly the problem with the ICO space. A startup looking for a CTO this late is very unstable, you need time to get to know them and work with them. At this point you need 6-7 developers, not 2-3.
Hi Thanks for your inquiry,
Do you have connections in the commercial airlines space?
I am currently building those relationships
Have you done a technical analysis of the space to see if this is even possible?
Yes we have done the technical analysis and will update the whitepaper with the transaction flow before November 21st.
I assume you would need to interface with each airlines system in order to provide your solution.
Correct we would have to interface with their messaging systems and ticketing systems to name a few
Do you need to book the flight through the blockchain as well? If not, how do you validate users as well as their need for a voucher?
No, The passenger orders a ticket, the airlines confirms registration,the chaincode is created on the blockchain that stores ticket information and contract conditions. Once the airlines cancels or delays the flight, the action is registered on the blockchain and the passenger receives notification. On the blockchain the voucher is issued in accordance with the chain code and the passenger receives the voucher.
Do you have a prototype or will the people coming on be building from scratch?
We will all build this from scratch and open source tools where available
You plan on giving advisers approximately 5% of a potentially $50 mil ICO with a vesting period of only 6 months. Why?
This is done so that our advisors are economically incentivized to improve the network into the future and not just dump their holdings right after the sale
At this point you need 6-7 developers, not 2-3
When we are building out the MVP, then yes I definitely can see the need for 6 or more developers, but at the stage we are at we feel that 2-3 is enough to provide a high level architectural view, technical descriptions and a development plan for our system.
Finally, why do you need a CTO, Project Manager, and Lead Developer? In a startup, they are all the same person.
I have to disagree and say they should not be the same person in a startup. Each role has a specialized skill set and the task should be separated out. But if you have such a unicorn of a person with all of those skill sets at a Enterprise level I would be amazed!
