[ANN][ICO][VAR] 🐬 Blue Frontiers (VARYON) - Sustainable floating islands 🐬

[DammeClaudeVanJean]

What is the current bonus for those that wants to join sale now?

I don't think that there is a bonus available, but it is possible that if you contact them and invest larger sum that team might offer you some kind of a bonus.

There is a bonus in presale after all.It is from 5%-15% it seems.

I like the bonus.Its good enough to make people invest early,but not too big to cause dump after listing

Yes its a common mistake that many ICOs do,they offeer huge initial bonus,and then those who want to invest later get screwed.Glad to see Blue Frontiers team is taking different approach.

Important question and I would say good enough answer for the time.I understand how big this project is and we can't expect from our dear Elwar to know every tiny bit for each sector and possible problems of this project, but doing pretty good info to keep us informed as best as possible. Though it is good that these kind of questions are raised already as it is important to know how team thinks and tackles possible problems.Also lot of people here that show interest in this project are eco-friendly most likely so naturally environmental questions will be present.

What I am also interested in is how is the island actually relocatable? What will move and island?

Yeah, I appreciated the response. But, will be looking forward to more in depth information about it. Obviously, they will be close to land, but getting the rights for a permanent source of water can be a problem. Most water mains would need to be underground, and that would cost quite a bit, and would likely be unpractical for such a project. If they are getting most of their water from rainfall there's also issues with pressure & flow which when a lot of people are drawing off the system could be troublesome, as this is the case for gravity fed mains too. 

Water mains wouldn't make much sense, because the team mentioned that island should be movable and relocatable.Then we get to pressure & flow issues with collecting rainfall.Desalinization could be possible solution, but all of this will be a big mountain to climb also because of a teams policy to make zero negative impact on environment.Another interesting issue that comes to my mind would be garbage disposal ? How will that be tackled as it seems that quite a lot of people will live on the island.

What you plan to do with unsold tokens?Maybe burn them?

Tokens won't be burned, they will be kept in reserve and resold later when necessary for further development of the project.Of course everything will be transparent and public from public wallets.

Really interesting project,what i like the most is that you dont have any competition.Atkeast that i know of!

Nah, this project has zero competition! It's a completely unique project with very original idea that will be quite hard to accomplish so I don't see else trying to copy this.

I like the approach you have to the project, even though there are no solutions for some problems at the moment, like moving the island and relocating it, you believe that technology will bring that in future and make it possible.It show how this project is serious, visionary and long term investment in better future.Taking a safe approach and doing things step by step to give yourself time to discover problems and tackle them while still in early phase of development.

You said that you will be looking to partner up with other companies to get blockchain solutions for some of the problems and sectors you mentioned in the video.Can you like give us some candidates for certain sector that you have in mind?

[Londondungeon]

Do you already have all permits needed for something like this?

They already have an agreement with French Polinesia and permit to place an island in one of the safe lagoons, but other permits will come later when further developments happen as this project will be done in a lot of phases.

We've had talks with Bravenewcoin which has an identity token in the works, we're looking at some p2p electricity companies out of Australia to see how their pilot projects are going. There are many approaches out there to blockchain voting, we talked to one developer but most of it will not come into play until we get the platforms in the water which will be 2021. In the blockchain space that is like some far off future.

One thing we will likely start out with first which I didn't bring up in the video was environmental monitoring on the blockchain. We will set up monitoring devices as soon as possible and try to automate things so that all of that information gets recorded on a public blockchain for anyone to see. That is something we can put in the water before the seastead is even built so we can see the process and do "before and after" types of studies. We have partnered with UC Berkeley for their environmental monitoring program.

Can everyone join the sale,or citizens of some countries cant join?

Can everyone join the sale,or citizens of some countries cant join?

People from United States and China wont be able to join.

Whats the issue with those two countries?I often see them excluded from the ICO sale.

Floating islands to integrate the blockchain technology. How it works?
it's seem is very hard to build and need a lot of money to do that.

[4gu5dr4g0n]

An interesting project and very good to follow, this project comes with the concept of building a floating island with a unique framework, this project will certainly get much attention from investors, because the floating island is a place that is desired by the travelers and many people. hope this team works hard to succeed what is expected.

I must say even though this project is extra long term in terms of crpyto as you said, it is my favorite one because it would change the game completely and bring us closer to the dream Since it will take quite a lot of time in terms of crypto to get to a point where it makes sense to include other blockchain services would it be wiser to just wait and see a bit, because by 2021. there could be much better solutions for a lot of those sectors then they are now?

The laws of China and US simply don't allow people from those countries to participate in ICO's.

[HiLander]

When does the sale actually start?Is there a date somewhere?

[Elwar]

When does the sale actually start?Is there a date somewhere?

From all of the talk I have heard it sounds like they will start the public sale once we reach the soft cap of 4000 ETH (don't quote me on this, it is more reading between the lines than anyone actually saying it).

From my e-mail, we have a new announcement of a lowered threshold for the presales:

Since we opened the Varyon presale we’ve been overwhelmed by positive feedback and pledges totaling thousands of Ether.

In response to many personal requests from our supporters, we’ve decided to lower the entry threshold and adjust the bonus structure for the remainder of the presale.

Buy in now!



Varyon Presale



New Minimum: 1 ETH


Bonuses


5%  1-10 ETH


10%  10-40 ETH


15%  40+ ETH


You can buy VAR in BTC, ETH, or ZEN.

Don’t know how to change fiat into ETH and buy Varyon?  

Read the buyer’s guide here

I would suggest getting in quickly, this past week has been big as far as publicity and they're just getting started.

CNBC

Business Insider

Bitcoin.com

News BTC


They are also allowing accredited US investors now, so if you are an accredited US investor (net worth of $1 million or income of $200k the past 2 years) you are free to buy VAR.
