[ANN] [PRE-SALE] Yachtco - yachting marketplace and charter ecosystem

[yco]

sometimes im just dont understand who is inventing all these projects? there is no logic in this project. the number of people who are interested in the yacht and who have a cryptocurrency and actively trade less than 100 people!!! is it really worth collecting money and doing such a project for small crowd? 

Hi!

Let me try to answer/comment this:

- We are doing this for yachting industry in which we are involved since 2014, not for 100 "hoping to get rich" crypto holders. The crowd that we are building this for, is not small.

- "Crypto world" is much more than crypto currency and trading. I am talking about smart contracts, ease of cross border payments, faster payments, less payment fees, adding the trust element with smart contracts and removing the doubt, removing scams from market, creating a dispute system (which currently is non-existent practically), ....and so on... 

- Collecting money will help us to build this thing faster and do some proper marketing and sales activities to get users/clients and start generating income and positive cash flow.

Best regards,
Miha

let's see, of course, what will come out of you in the end, but it seems to me that the chances of success with a negative market is very very very minimal. and im think you understand that most likely you will give one big loss to everyone who buys your project tokens.

So much negativity... why?

I mean I understand your concern. I really do. Everyone, every investor, has second thoughts. And I am sure there is a statistic somewhere of how many startups fail and how many crypto projects failed. And it is not good. And I guess we will see more of failed crypto projects in the future - there are a lot of reasons for that.

If you are talking about success of our ICO - that might happen. Will see. But, there are other ways to finance our project. And we planed for this. I know crypto market is far from good right now. I still decided to give it a try with public token offering in the height of crypto/ICO/STO bear market.

There are various advantages of public token offering - that is why we decided to give it a try first. The success of the Yachtco project is not dependant on our ICO success.

Luckily, yacht charter market is doing fine. As a matter of fact, this market was doing fine in the past when there were crises elsewhere (with little ups and downs).

So, you are right - we will see. Until then, we are slowly building our platform, even with no "outside" funding. It would be better and quicker if we could afford bigger team, marketing, etc... - you just have to work with what you have.

Miha

So yachts + blockchain. Mmmm here smells like big money, I like this idea  So I looking at the site and see that there are a huge number of reasons for the introduction of blockchain in this area, congratulations, I think this is the first project on this topic. Do you plan to add a scale to the website showing the number of funds raised?

An interesting service for recreation on yachts. I wonder how much it costs to spend a week on such a yacht. The service is not for the poor and not for people of moderate means. But interesting.

It depends on the class of the yacht, the skipper and the availability of entertainment elements on the yacht)) I looked at the first website on google search, the Caribbean Islands, the prices were from 1000 Euro to 15000 euros per day 

the idea is nice as renting a yacht by ordinary to middle-class individuals might be economical using this platform. however, what is the main advantage why the team chose to be under waves platform? i know using waves is pretty simple and straightforward, but as far as i know, there are not many users as compared to eth platform. i guess. but looking at your partners and suppliers, i believe you have the chance to grow this project via blockchain. did you by any chance already tested your network even in one of your partner company?

and it seems that the marketing department should be more aggressive selling your utility tokens. why not tap all the regular customers of your partner companies?

Except from ICO crowd, our end users are no in crypto/blockchain. So we will need to educate them. Especially users from supply side (boat owners, skippers,....). So it does not make any difference if ETH platform has many users.

When we decided on which blockchain solution to use, we took a serious look into all of them (EOS, Tron, Ethereum, Neo,...). Before choosing a platform, we had the end user in mind and there are several advantages of using Waves blockchain instead of any other:
- fast
- secure
- low cost transactions: Flat fees and no ‘gas’ (this one is especially important for us)
- Decentralized exchange included in wallet
- for developing complex dApps, Waves has 13 types of transactions available
- flexible
- dApps, smart accounts and smart assets availability
- wallet supports a range of fiat and cryptocurrencies, including USD, EURO, TRY, BTC, ETH, LTC, ZEC, BCH, BSV, DASH and XMR, all of which can be deposited, stored, traded and withdrawn

There are also some development benefits like scalability, token is already listed on DEX exchange (no need to spend insane amounts of money to get listed), customer support from Waves team,....

Our platform is not made yet. Development is planned for after we get some funding. So, we did not test anything in this regard - obviously. But, we did pitch the idea to majority of our partners and suppliers on expo, that is closed to the public - you can only attend it if you are in charter business. This expo is a weekend event. It was held in November - before we went out with our ICO - and I wanted to "test" the market before we do it. I had 32 meetings that weekend with our partners that are the biggest players in the business (boat owners, charter operators, ...) and they were all impressed with the idea and told us they will join and use our platform soon as it is developed. We had a plan to sign initial contracts with them on that event, but we abandoned that because we felt that it would be best we have something to show for before we do this.
On this event, talking directly to our end users from supply side, we also discovered some issues that they might have (like double work for updating their bookings availability) - and we found solutions for that too.

So, overall, we are set to do this and the market shows the need for this kind of solution. (I can not go more in details for now)

We are not selling our services or tokens to our partners at this stage because this are different people. They are not investors or involved in crypto or blockchain. Hence, some of them even have problems with website or email. I strongly believe that we need different approach with them - working product that they can see.
