About Gift Coin Project

Gift Coin is a cryptocurrency created for real life usage. The name itself is speaking for the coin. Gift Coin's main purpose is to be gifted to our loved ones on their special days. Gift Coin's nature allows people to buy smaller amount of coin, and block time allows people to transfer the coins almost instantly. The nature of Gift Coin also allows people to stake GFT for their loved ones thanks to PoS. Also, whoever is gifted GFT can stake their gifted coins and hold the coin for later usage. Gift Coin also helps the Blockchain and crypto world by being gifted to people who don't know much about the technology and currencies. By gifting their GFT,
users can allow others to learn about the crypto world and spread the word.

About The Team

The current developers of the Gift Coin project are still students who are trying to create a better and decentralized world. The team consists of 4 students from Canada, Sweden and Germany. However, Gift Coin project is an open-source project so that people who are willing to contribute can freely share their ideas with community. Also we will be recruiting new team members who are willing to spread the word of being decentralized and who are in love with crypto.

Bounty Program

There will be different bounty programs. Twitter bounty program is active and running right now. Details can be found on our Discord Channel. Also;
POOLS : First 3 pools will get 100 GFT reward. (Pool must be at least 2 months old). [BOUNTIES SENT - NO MORE REWARD]
SHARED MASTER NODE : First person who sets up the shared master node service will get 100 GFT reward. (After Master Node instructions launched)
TRANSLATION : Each translation will recieve 25 GFT upon the translation being flagged as "correct" by the community members. Translation bounty will only be claimable once for each language.

AirDrop

We will be airdropping on our Discord channel with a chat bot. However, airdrop will start after PoS becomes active.

Presale - Premine

1% Premine might seem much for a community driven project. However, these coins will be held on one wallet and they will not be moved without any official announcement.
Private key for Dev wallet will be divided into 10 parts and random-drafted 10 team members will hold one part of the key. An open-source, written only for this project program will be used for the creation of the private key and no one will be holding the full private key. All 10 team members will have to agree and allow spending of the funds and only then funds will be able to used. The team already has 4 team members and rest 6 team members will be choosen from community. This type of fund helding will be the first example of a community driven crypto-currency project. Our DEV wallet can be observed on the blockchain explorer and every transaction can be tracked. So that community members can make sure that we are not transferring any coins without announcement.

Premined coins will only be used for airdrops, bounty programs, marketing/advertising.

Also, all the presale funds will be collected on one BTC wallet, and all these funds will only be used for;

1) Exchange listing fees
2) Monitoring service and official project costs
3) Financing the further development of project

Exchanges
