I've seen that paper from the Monero subreddit, its sort of served us as a reference point recently and is similar to what we are planning to implement.

Hello!
I'm very interested in this project.
How work donation system? How much coins we earn donating $100 for example?

Our current donation rates are 1 BTC = 1,650,000 MANTA, and 1 XRB = 3150 MANTA.

So $100 would be about ~10000 MANTA

are those the only 2 donation options?

For distribution, we're aiming for mid-March, and as for donation options, we're adding Zcash and Monero later today.

I am interested in donating, but wondering how you will link my donation to a wallet since one does not currently exist?

Also, I understand that you don't want to reveal who you are, but could you give us some details as to the scope of the work you have done before?  Have you released a coin into the wild?  Have you done any blockchain work on DAG structures?

Just wondering what kind of information you might be able to reveal that would help entice me to part with some hard earned RaiBlocks....   

Thanks!  Looking forward to the work.

Thanks for your interest in our project!

The distribution of the donator's MANTA will be done manually from the genesis wallet. After the beta release of MANTA wallets, we will contact each donator via bitcointalk and send the appropriate amount after they've created their wallet and sent the address to us.

As for our experience, we've mostly worked with local startup companies though we've been researching into DAG, zkSNARKs, etc. for the past ~6 Months and have a full grasp of their functions. We haven't released a coin yet simply because we've been wanting to release an innovative and game-changing currency, not just a coin with no purpose.

Hope this answers your questions

look special, wait & see for more information to be released

What does Manta mean? Sounds like a word from India?

[govis]

Looks interesting! Would you guys need any help with Web wallet for Manta? I'm quite familiar with Polymer - it can deliver great UX for iOS and Android users.

I asked this but somehow didn't post;


> Our current donation rates are 1 BTC = 1,650,000 MANTA, and 1 XRB = 3150 MANTA.

Is this set rate, or variable? Does it also mean if you get 15BTC, you'd exceed the supply for donators? or do you plan to do .2*supply / donation amount

When is the last date where you consider ending early donations? I want to donate, but i have the money deployed in speculative places. I am willing to accelerate my mini-vesting schedule depending.

I am super interested in zkSNARKS/zkSTARKS, so I am watching really closely. I read the paper i references, and i am looking forward to see what you are baking.

after reading threads in Announcements for hours,...

FINALLY! I found a new coin that i will be joining

The Donation rates we posted we're just for the moment of posting, we'll update our main post to clarify this.

Our fixed rate is $100 = 10500 MANTA, making the maximum MANTA supply to donators of $253,171.75 .

The USD amount of a donation will be calculated using coinmarketcap with regards to the time the donation was sent (via the transaction ID).

We plan on closing early donations around a week before the release of beta wallets.

We hope this clears this up!

Thank you. Do you mind putting your monero view key to make it transparent to audit, like others are.

I greatly appreciate your transparency.

If it works this will be great
