Here are some of the highlights for those of you who are not yet interested in reading the whitepaper

• No ICO
• ODIN.CHAT, the flagship ODIN Blockchain mobile app is currently in alpha testing by community members with launch expected in April 2019
• Over 1000 masternodes set up by community members across the globe within 3 weeks of the airdrop distribution
• We are keen to support good causes, especially non-profit organisations helping users to protect their personal data from third parties
• Staking rewards structure has been specifically balanced in favour of a increasing the % of rewards which are available for masternode operators to vote on for funding community projects
• Low percentage of foundation holdings (15% maximum, decreasing over time, locked for supporting future development growth, not staking)
• Core team members and supported community contributors available for regular AMAs
• Real, regular updates about the technology we are building, with Github integration into community channels
• Well-documented open source code and repositories on Github
• ODIN.CHAT has many new features and modular components in the pipeline

What are this project's competitors? Does any other crypto platform have a focus on mobile Dapps? This appears to be an untapped market.

I would like to learn more about your platform for developing mobile applications, but the link to your site for some reason does not work?

AFAIK Status is a mobile dApp (is it Dapp, or dApp haha) platform. Theirs focuses on Ethereum based smart contracts. I think they've been building a nice framework and would love to see what the experience is there. That said, their platform is the mobile app, whereas ODIN is striving to help build Proof-of-Concepts, Prototypes, and Working Products that will be open-sourced (so others on our platform can extend upon or build from) that target the ever growing mobile audience. This is our "Mobile First" approach that modern websites also are taking. Usability and User Experience are key to mainstream usage and we want to offer that polished experience.

ODIN Airdrop Portal - Important Information

ODIN Airdrop registrations to claim ODIN are open. If you want to get an additional bonus on your claim, you will need to lock-in your balance by Friday 14th September.

ODIN is distributed fairly to over 1000 individuals from the community via an airdrop. The ODIN blockchain is funded privately via a donation to the community, to help establish the foundation technologies and support the community and overall ODIN vision.

Join the ODIN Telegram to talk directly with our community.

Hi there, key information you are asking is right here:

• The ODIN Blockchain is PoS and includes masternodes from day one. Check out the staking rewards structure
• More - read the ODIN Whitepaper

Circulating supply estimated under 85M
Total Foundation 15% or less over time
Masternodes require 25,000 ODIN

Thank you for your interest.

Really looking forward to this project! Keep up the good work team. Wallet looks fantastic and excited for the months to come!

promising project 

I appreciate your lengthy reply as it shows an honest interest or conversation topic on your end. I'd like to help provide more context here regarding the requirement to provide additional PII in order to continue with the "airdrop". I say airdrop in quotes because this release is more akin to an airdrop where legitimate holders of Obsidian can receive ODIN but onto a different wallet / blockchain. There are still plans for Obsidian and community members that have been i contact to step up and run some interesting projects.

Now onto this Identity Verification we decided to require...

We had plans in the beginning to run a KYC/AML check for people looking to receive a large amount of ODIN (the amount would be variable based on how many people that would be). This was because Obsidian was unfortunately ridden with bad actors early on and we wanted to ensure ODIN had as clean of a start as possible. This would allow us to filter out people who should not necessarily have a large stake in ODIN's future because we want ODIN to be owned by the majority than the few.

As this release got closer and we began to assess how many requests there actually were, the spread of amounts, and the tightening rules and regulations most cryptocurrency exchanges require to list coins we decided to do a blanket KYC/AML check to ensure we could use this as additional leverage when approaching future exchanges. This last minute requirement was indeed last minute because we wanted to ensure any bad actors had little time to plan or react to these changes.

About Data Retention and User Privacy

As far as your declaration about Shuftipro not having any declaration of their GDPR compliance, I would like to provide you this link I found after a quick search for the keywords "shuftipro" and "gdpr": https://shuftipro.com/compliance-and-regulations/gdpr/

I would also like to happily state that users have already successfully reached out to them, and we have provided information on our end to help ensure their data is wiped from their servers. According to Shuftipro, all submissions are stored for a max of two years unless you reach out to their support manually. On our end, we are purging ALL ODIN Portal information by November 14, 2018 and will provide proof of this happening.

Finally I would like to clarify that ODIN carries forward the goal of being a Data Security and User Privacy advocate and we will do everything we can to push our claim and prove our claim. We want to build and support applications / services that build on-top of our ethos and utilize either all or part of the blockchain for this. I admire your desire for complete anonymization and preventing yourself as a target and we will work towards destroying all records we control as well as any link that a Shuftipro submission has towards an ODIN request. Even if you do not tell Shuftipro to remove your data within the next two years, your data on Shuftipro has no way of linking back to any request. The two are completely separate and this is why (along with other reasons) we wanted to use a third-party provider for this service.

I hope this helps clear up any confusion or concerns you, or others might have about ODIN and this whole process!
