[SKY] Skycoin Launch Announcement

[ICOcountdown.com]

Where can we get some skycoin? I saw that it was open for "redemption" on some chinese website, but saw it was a ridiculous price for only a small supply of the total tokens available. Can you give more info on how to get SKY?

It is traded on Cryptopia and c2cx.

anyway the distribution model is not that good now.

The distribution is mathematically optimal. You cannot design a better distribution scheme than the Skycoin scheme. We enumerated all previous distribution schemes and chose the best one.

You are used to seeing pump and dump style distributions and that is what people are asking for and we will not do it. We are also not going to do some NXT style scam and pretend the coin was "distributed" in a way that the user base cannot complain, when in reality three people own 98% of the coins. The undistributed Skycoins are locked, for a reason and that is to prevent a reoccurance of the dumping that destroyed NXT.

We combined a publicly auditable distribution scheme with with a Bitcoin tapered distribution schedule, while eliminating the capital outflows from miners. We chose this distribution scheme, because mathematically it is the best possible that can exist.

Until someone proposes something superior to "I think they should do a massive coin drop on me and give me free coins", the "distribution" complaints are just divide and conquer, meaningless babble and foaming at the mouth.

The Skycoin distribution will follow the Bitcoin model of a constant number of coins over a time period, with tapering and halving over time, up to a fixed maximum value.

Distribution will take at least seven years. We are in a hurry and some of us have already been here four or five years. I think we will get to 70% distribution within ten years. Rushing distribution, only hurts the investors, so we are in no hurry to dump coins faster. If anything we will probably decrease the rate of releasing new blocks of coins.

This is to create  a slow, steady appreciation of the coin and reason for people to hold on to it. Instead of a massive Ethereum style pump and dump (which worked for Ethereum, but which is a very bad type of distribution style in general).

We think our distribution scheme is the best possible. No one has given any superior alternative, or even a proposal that would not drive down the price per coin. Skycoin's distribution scheme is designed to maximumize the price per coin over time and to avoid driving own the price per coin.

The Skycoin distribution schedule and philosophy is identical to Bitcoin's distribution rate, or how Facebook or Google stock was distributed. Google did not distribute 80% of its shares by doing a massive Ethereum style crowd sale, before any of the work was done. It sold off fixed, small slices of equity at each step at an increasing price. Then they dumped the money into development and increasing the value of the equity for all stakeholders by investing the money raised in infrastructure.

This is what makes sense for funding a large, long term project whose value is increasing. We are using this model, because it works.

If we can raise $1 and invest it in marketing, software development and hardware and produce a $100 increase in market cap, then we are doing well. If we are only producing $0.25 in value for every dollar spent, then we should stop raising money and cut distribution back. We do not want to crowd out our return rate.

maybe check the byteball distribution?

Is this a joke? I really hate how people praise byteball distribution. Ooooh lets give people free money based on how much money they already have, let's make the rich richer and help to consolidate wealth further!

In an ICO or crowdsale the rich can still buy more, obviously, since they have more money to invest- but that also requires they invest more which means they are taking on more risk. With an airdrop there is no risk, the rich are just handed more money than other people for no reason other than the fact they already have more money. They don't have to take on any proportional risk. It's an absolutely trash economic model that will never work.

With the distribution model that has been proposed here for skycoin who makes the money of coins when they are sold at various times???

[provenceday]

when the skynet release?

[BTCspace]

maybe list skycoin at bittrex?

we need more exchanges.

 No, we don't). We only need more established community and pr. But I don't insist, I just dream to buy some more skycoins below the ICO price)))

[cryptomoon]

The distribution of this coin is really confusing, is it already possible to run a node and receive sky? What was average ICO price?

[elelegzet]

What was average ICO price?

 The last ICO round was @0.0005 BTC

New wallet still doesn't work for me on windows 10. I've already unblocked it by my firewall, is there anything else I should try?

I have to open it twice for it to open at all, and then once it has opened it is just a blank white screen although the Skycoin and Edit tabs ate still present in the top left corner.

Start the system with safe mode and share result with us. Maybe it can solve the problem.

 Recent Skycoin client @ Windows 10 wasn't working for me either. GUI just doesn't show up. I'm using Linux version which runs smoothly  .

Same thing happens, GUI won't load.

 It's never too late to install Ubuntu  . Skycoin discourage its users to run Windows as long as Microsoft doesn't respect our privacy and self-sufficiency in decision-making  )

Yeah and unfortunately Microsoft will never change but if skycoin hopes to be widely adopted and taken seriously they should probably make a windows wallet that works.

Maybe nobody answering because the last few pages were full of lenghtly posts about distribution and nobody feels the need to reward your extreme laziness?

Distirbution is being discussed heavily, we have slack and telegram to discuss distribution models. You can see both on the website

Am I correct in understanding that the sale of future coins goes to "skycoin" from this thread and/or developers. I have been following this thread and it just seems obvious that whoever controls those coins receives the cash when they are sold off.

skycoin needs a release timeline I agree, skycoin people could say we are releasing 1 btc a week to the market at a market price set and a goal of 52 btc in the 1st year  and 2btc a week in the second year and so on.... a release schedule would be smart for all stake holders

They could also have a burn schedule if the marketcap reaches below a certain point, they could say if the coin reaches five million dollar cap we will burn a btc worth from the 100million..


instead the have ninja releases which does not give the market confidence too take it too 100 million dollars .. coders are often lazy traders and think the bots can do all the work..

 Hmmm. I would totally support this approach
