Invested 0.5 BTC.
// I sent it from Blockchain.info how do I get my SWARM coins?
Step 1: recover private key from blockchain.info Step 2: make a counterwallet.co account Step 3: "import funds" using the private key The Swarm coins are created using CounterParty, and although it is recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain - to actually see the Swarm coins in your wallet, one must use the CounterParty wallet (I realize that this was not clear and I will include these details in the above announcement). Once you import funds to the CounterParty wallet, this action will sweep the token balance effectively moving all Swarm coins from that address you sent BTC from into Counterparty Please let us know if you experience any further issues Thanks

From the Swarmcoin website: We raise 10,000 BTC, 1/3 to salaries, 1/3 to SWARM coin launch funds, and the rest to Swarm Agents and miscellaneous. So at todays rates you are basically planning to pay yourselves around $2,000,000 in salaries. Swarm’s projected 18-month expenses include developing the core infrastructure and usability to allow for the creation of new coins. With a full raise of 21,500 BTC, Swarm will be a true incubator, helping get projects and new coins off the ground. So Swarm is raising 21,500 BTC to develop a platform that allows the creation of new coins? Am I missing something here?

The portion of salaries allocated is for developing the business and the development team.

So basically this is a Meta IPO We have seen individual coin IPOs and we know that mostly they end badly. This is an IPO of future IPOs (IPO squared?) There is NO prospectus and no concrete information I can find about this "investment" Investor Beware!

No they're using the existing platform Counterparty to create the new coins, I think the 21500 BTC is being used to create a super shiny website to promote launches on fortunately at least one member of the team is a web designer so they can do this for free!

I think you guys need to do a better job in explaining your business idea to the crowd of your crowdfunding campaign (i.e. me) what this whole thing is about. I saw a presentation in Berlin about it and I didn't really get it.

Perhaps a separate topic in which you bundle all information is useful. Couldn't find much on the website :/
I remember Oculus Rift and I see how Swarm could challenge the existing crowdfunding systems.
I also remember Ethereum's announcement and how they got slaughtered on these very forums.
I see a lot of "SCAM" being yelled at you already. So perhaps do a coordinated PR effort, before the trolls take over.

Good idea. I'll work on that this evening (still recovering from our launch party last night in Berlin).
