I'm hyped about the Decent Chain. Are there any specs out for the planned swap from erc-20 to decent? Will there be a bonus during the swap or will it be 1:1 thing?

When will this swap take place?

It should take place in September when we launch the main net.

cool, good to know. we will be able to trade by then correct? these act just like normal tokens.

Yes ALX will be tradable on the exchanges as the normal tokens.

And how will IT be possible to buy or get Ala coins? I never found the answer to that question.

There are two ways: 1. you will buy it in brick store as you buy a credit for your phone. 2. you will buy ALX on crypto exchange and then change it in the ALAX store for ALA with 20 % bonus.

Remember that there are less than 3 days until the start of our TGE! April 17th, 10:30 AM UTC.

I think it’s important to aim both android and iOS, there is user and market on both. Emerging markets has more users with android I think. It will b intéressant to see how the alax store will work and how it will connect devs and customers.

Alax is concentrating on unbanked countries and iOS users probably do have credit/debit cards. So I'd say it's better to make Android their priority, especially in the beginning, when financial resources are limited.

How you going to adversite your store? The important part in succes - marketing. And there are will be very hard compete with such store like Googleplay.

Is there a percentage of the budget set aside for marketing? This is most often forgotten in crypto projects. Unfortunately!

Yes, there are 20 % dedicated to Marketing, User Acquisition and Community Outreach  

[Trrrt]

Yes it’s true that marketing is very important for the sucess of a crypto project. Project need a lot of visbiiity in order to reach most of people in crypto world, 20% of fund will be allocated to marketing, so I think the team will handle that part nicely.

I checked the readpaper again and i find a piece that is important and i missed before:

"Game developer
After integrating the ALAX SDK into their app, the developers have a number of advantages.
ALAX will take care of distributing their game through the existing pre-installed channels.
After each transaction ALA tokens are transferred to the developer’s account. The obtained ALA
tokens can be used by the developer in a variety of ways: As a reward for the players to motivate
them, for marketing purposes or it can be transferred to FIAT and paid out. "


The thing is alax making the distrubition and transfering funds to developer account is probably will draw lots of game developers to alax ecosystem. And if game developers starts to use alax, gamers will follow them of course. This is really a great feature.

in fact i also had missed this part of the paper, is a good idea to reward developers who will use the alax platform with tokens that have more uses, is true once the developers are attracted to the platform gamers will follow...

I just received an email informing me that using Decent will have a 10% bonus on the sale? Then one of the forms of payment will be Decent?

This brings up the question... Due the volatility of decent, to what currency is the price of decent is going to be pegged? I mean does it have a fixed price at the time of the sale?
For example what amount of tokens would i get for 1000 dct and will that change during the ICO depending on the price of dct?

There is a fixed price of ALX to ETH. All other coins and tokens will be fixed to ETH based on the 24 hr average from several exchanges (3 or 4 i think). 

Okay, thanks, that makes sense... i think. i Have to take a look at the volatility of dct again to make a decision if i should use it on this.

[BY_ATOM]

Yes the team Seems to respect the roadmap, which is one of the most important for investors, have an active roadmap is not so frequent in crypto world. Also alax team manage the communication very well, another important point for the Sucess of a project.

In the past the road map, you need to look at how it is implemented! And looking at this project, I have a firm belief that there will be no problems with financing)

When I bought the coins of SophiaTX on ICO, I paid tokens dct and received a 10% bonus. There will be a bonus for dct?

[CryptoCutie]

yes the kudos team is very active, straight forward.

The bonus was announced by the Team and the information about the partnership also, you could find better information 3 or 4 pages ago. It really is something that does not encourage even more, and the momentum of the market is conducive

[CryptoCutie]

exactly 3-4 pages before it all stands. The bonus wasn't very high, I think 10%. So all in all very fair.

[Token Williams]

when the ico will ends?

Its TGE, Start of the TGE is planned for Tuesday 17 April 2018, 10:30AM UTC. The duration of the ALAX TGE is 6 days. This means that the TGE ends on Monday, 23 April 2018 at 10:30AM UTC.
Btw The private TGE is already live.

How does one qualify for the private sale?

Only for contributors with 500+ ETH  , just contact them if you want to contribute.

Mmmmmm.......that's a bit too much for me

And unless they will accept different coins for payment?? for some reason I was sure that only ETH and Bitcoin

Me neither, I think the fact that they already have millions of users is a great sign.

Gaming industry is one of the fastest growing and multi millions dollars industry. How I see this platform is like opportunity for developers to sell directly their games and to let other know about their creative abilities to have a platform to use. While buyers will have same opportunity to get their favorite games at competitive price than usual market price. It is going to be useful for both parties and this makes it awesome.

Yes, especially on competitive games, because there are a lot of incentivizes to play it.
I think alax should try to reach as many of competitive games as possible.

Remember guys that this is a mobile platform at first. it's gonna be a long time before competitive games are added.

There are also many competitive games that are based on mobile actually, you can look at mobile legend, aov, pubg, fortnite, role of survival.

aov: previously Vainglory? I was about to write same thing, recently pubg mobile created a lot of hype mobile gaming, some of my friends are playing pubg even on lunch breaks without eating anything.

AOV = Arena Of Valor, its different from vainglory, vainglory is still exist out there.
These moba mobile games are started to hold a big tournament, I think they will follow the dota 2 path and become a hype, they are already hype in my country recently.

Tournaments with prize pools can be a good way to make the platform more popular - gamers from all over the world will unite in the struggle for leadership.

Yes but prize pools need to be thoroughly determined. You can't throw money out the window and have nothing let for the continuation of proper development. That's still the priority.

I was talking about reaching the competitive games, I think the tournament and the prize pool are the responsibility of the game developers and their team.
Maybe alax can also participate in such things after the platform is already fully developed and stable.

Having huge tournaments with attractive prize pools could be a very effective strategy to draw attention to the platform.

Or they could sponsor a big name in the esports scene.

I hope the ICO goes well and they raise the funds needed. they certainly could use them to accelerate the development.

I think there was another ico project doing something like that, i don't recall the name, however any kind of involvement of the gaming community is going to have a positive impact, if well planned
