Though I'm not really into ICOs like this, I've been anticipating the next iteration of blockchain voting since Heavycoin.

So one coin (staked or simply held in-wallet) equals one vote?

Does voting take place in-wallet? If not, where? If so, how far along are you in programming voting into the wallet?

[barryzand]

Are you the Glowcoin dev?

[shack4]

This actually looks pretty neat, definitely keeping my eye on this one...

[kcanup]

Expensive ICO considering you only have plans  

Keeping my eye on blockchain revolution  

[EnJoyThis]

Must say I like the idea "decide the path of GlowShares".

Will be watching this thread.

Interesting one, I like very much the idea of a decentralized voting system on the blockchain. Name and design look neat.

By the way, what does it have to do this coin related with the Internet of Things?

[hardroad]

I am a believer in that all ICO it is scam but keeping my eye on this I like to see the revolution

Internet of Things in the context of a blockchain implies decentralization, rather than connecting devices to a closed source, centralized infrastructure.

I can't blame you for being scared of ICOs. Thank you for at least taking a look.

Are you the Glowcoin dev?

No.

[philipvdlinde]

The only thing I am seeing on this ann so far are some neat graphics and a little line of text implying that this coin is going to bring something new. This won't pursuade me to buy any though, as the amount of info I can obtain from the OP is scarce. Let's hope this will change over time.

[anticlimax]

No one learning from the last few months I see..
BRO is the only ico I'd look at, and it haven't touched it either.

Still working out the coin-to-vote ratio, it partially depends on what the total supply will be, which depends on how many coins are sold in the ICO.

Voting will be available within 30 days after the ICO ends and takes place in-wallet. After gathering feedback from the community and making any necessary revisions, it will be pushed to the main wallet. After that, we vote on the first blockchain project.

Looks pretty interesting, haven't seen any other coins with built in voting.
With the whole Crypto community trying to be decentralized, I don't like to be at the mercy of the developers' choices.
Will definitely be watching this and most likely buying in. This could turn out to be something really big.

[Jookly]

a nice use of the blockchain technology

[earlz]

So, what exactly are the ICO funds going to be used for? To hire a developer that can do copy-paste-search-replace, and then to promote the coin via parties with hookers and blow?

[gocoins]

Wait, a coin that actually has innovation and 5+ POD. Interesting!

Really like the idea to actively involve the community in its roadmap through in-wallet voting.

Good question!

Good question!

I am the developer and will be handling the code personally. Funds are used according to the Lean Startup methodology.

The Lean Startup methodology has as a premise that every startup is a grand experiment that attempts to answer a question. The question is not "Can this product be built?" Instead, the questions are "Should this product be built?" and "Can we build a sustainable business around this set of products and services?" This experiment is more than just theoretical inquiry; it is a first product. If it is successful, it allows a manager to get started with his or her campaign: enlisting early adopters, adding employees to each further experiment or iteration, and eventually starting to build a product. By the time that product is ready to be distributed widely, it will already have established customers. It will have solved real problems and offer detailed specifications for what needs to be built.

A core component of Lean Startup methodology is the build-measure-learn feedback loop. The first step is figuring out the problem that needs to be solved and then developing a minimum viable product (MVP) to begin the process of learning as quickly as possible. Once the MVP is established, a startup can work on tuning the engine. This will involve measurement and learning and must include actionable metrics that can demonstrate cause and effect question.

Im liking this one a lot actually.
I sthis correct

Bittrex will host 900,000

only 900k in total.  If so I likey like
