AMA Satoshi Club x Wynaut, March 3rd

Educational task of Satoshi Club drives us to acquaint you with all new projects. We were delighted to welcome our guest from Wynaut. The AMA took place on March 3rd, 2021 and our guests were @JensAnderson, @pw0_0.

The total reward pool was 4000$ in LP tokens and was divided into three parts. In this AMA Recap we will try to summarize some of the most interesting points for you.

Part 1 — introduction and questions from the Telegram&Bitcointalk community

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Hello, dear Satoshi Clubbers! We are pleased to announce our AMA with Wynaut😁 Today our guests are @JensAnderson @pw0_0!😊

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Good day and welcome to a new AMA session

P W: Hey Satoshi Club, we’re thankful to be having this AMA with you all!

Jens Anderson: Hello everyone! Really excited about this 😊😊

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Welcome to Satoshi Club, @JensAnderson @pw0_0😃 We are delighted to have you today! 👍To begin with, please tell us a few words about yourselves and how did you get to be involved in crypto & Wynaut? Take your time ☺️ please

Jens Anderson: Well my story is a funny one! Gimme a few minutes to type it all out 😂

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Haha please take your time 😃💪

Jens Anderson: I just got my toes wet in the BSC ecosystem and have been studying a bunch of projects and investing in cool stuff like Auto and ACryptos. I was chatting with people in those communities and suddenly a guy was yelling “ARE THERE ANY DEVS AROUND?” and he kept writing about how he has a freelance project up for grabs.

I message this guy and tell him I’m a seasoned dev and interested in doing some work on the BSC chain. He sends me a link to Wynaut’s homepage and asks me if I can copy EVERYTHING!

Logo, smart contracts, any whitepaper they might have had and whatever. Wynaut was like 3 days old at this point in time and was valued at way under 1c.

I became curious why anyone would be so eager to copy them. I jumped into Wynaut’s telegram and THE FUNNIEST SHIT was posted by the funniest people 🙂

Crazy memes, fun jokes and a very cozy environment. There were a few hundred strangers there that were just having a great time.

So I fell in love with it, jokingly bought a few coins, then more, and more, and suddenly I was very very deep. The rest is history as they say😊❤️

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: it is very exciting😁👍

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: What year was that?

Jens Anderson: Like 2-3 weeks ago? 😁

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Oh haha, congratulations for become part of Wynaut team 💪

Jens Anderson: Thanks, it’s been a community-based team from the get go 😊

P W: I wish my story was as interesting as Jens!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: We are in a hurry to find out your story ❤️

P W: I’m a crypto investor with digital marketing and advertising experience in the fiat world. I originally came onboard to help Wynaut out with social, invested some of my crypto wins and got increasingly involved with the team.

I’m from a family of crypto investors – my brother runs a crypto exchange in the UK and I myself have held various tokens and altcoins since 2015.

I can tell you that the Wynaut community is like no other, and we’re all excited to use our skills to make this project as exciting and rewarding as possible for everyone involved!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: You are very funny guys! And we really like it 😁👍

Jens Anderson: Well we call ourselves the Doge of Binance 😂😊

P W: Haha! Now this whole club knows

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Our best wishes for you in this stage, Satoshi Club community is excited to know more details about Wynaut project. We have collected some questions for the first part of the AMA, are your ready?

Jens Anderson: yeah, can’t wait

P W: Looking forward to it Andres!

Q1 from Telegram User @meml97

Team Rocket is known for being the main villains a lot of times in the Pokémon universe, with this in mind, why did you decide to make “The Team Rocket Finance” and what goals do you have set for it? Aren’t you worried of being associated with bad things? For what kind of “troubles” do we have to be prepare and will you make them double?

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: The best villians of the anime 😅

Jens Anderson: oooh that’s a good one 🙂 PW got ya covered on that one

P W: Oh wow, great question! Well to start off with, Wynaut evolves into Wobbuffet – the replacement to Meowth, the famous gen 1 Team Rocket Pokemon.

When we first made Wynaut, the branding was solely focused on that. However, when we wanted to create a really interesting yield farming proposition, Meowth felt like a great choice.

Wynaut (Wobbuffet) and Meowth both being Team Rocket Pokemon, we all thought ‘well what if we call ourselves Team Rocket Finance. why not / wynaut?’

Team Rocket in the anime are lovable villains, we’re more focused on the fun side of them than the villainy of course!

Jens Anderson:

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: You have to do this too😁

Jens Anderson:

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: I love this cat 😁

P W: Just like Team Rocket, we plan to grow – for us that means we’ll be adding new features, new utilities, new use cases along the way

No escaping this one Jens 😉

Jens Anderson: I’m answering with pics 😀 They say a thousand words

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Haha of course, but there will be different phases coming? for example Katnia

P W: Definitely – we’re launching our Gen2 tokens soon, you could call it the next phase of Team Rocket Finance

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for your answers 😸 I am very impressed that you make serious things funny. 😁👍

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Ohh I am really excited to know the coming names and details 💪

  That’s the better way to create a great project  I think. Well thank you so much for this answers, let’s proceed with the next question

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks guys! 😁 Ready for the next question?

P W: Let’s do it!

Jens Anderson: Hit me!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: to the very heart ❤️😁

Jens Anderson: (with the question, please don’t slap me)

Q2 from Telegram User @Brainchest

Reading the articles on Medium, I see that you are very funny guys. In addition, you are good developers. Tell us if there are any plans to make a game with the presence of the NFT. After all, this is now a mega-HYIP. By making a game with your inherent humor, you will win over a lot of users.

P W: NFTs are definitely one of the hot topics for the team at the moment! We’ve been working with a load of talented artists to produce graphics, images, drawings etc. that we’ll use for NFT.

This will inherently gamify our ecosystem by adding something collectible to it, but over time we would absolutely love to add more game-like features.

We can’t promise a full game with the launch of Gen2, but we can promise that we’re all excited to bring NFT features to the community

Jens Anderson: Yeah most of the funny stuff on those articles come from our very own rapper! (Y Not)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dMQ1MonGBY&ab_channel=WynautCommunity

P W: One of the team has been in talks with a game developer but it’s still incredibly early days! Expect collectibles first and we’ll build on that. Y Not is an incredible hypeman / writer / rapper / philosopher that brings all of his creative skills to our team!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: yes yes … I saw too

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: it seems that having a good sense of humor is one of the requirements to be part of the team

P W: It definitely helps! 😆

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Maybe I should pass my CV 😁

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: https://youtu.be/bH-biV-40jY

Jens Anderson: That’s my JAM!

We are currently pushing a lot of ideas regarding NFT collectibles and are working with very talented artists to generate proper art on the blockchain. These might end up in games in the future 😊 I look forward to speak more about this when the Gen-2 platform is live and we’ve refined the ideas some more 🔥

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Could you share some of them? or they have not designs yet?

Jens Anderson: Yeah

This one’s very very cute and is directly linked to our Gen 2 tokens

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: I really love it 😁😉❤️

P W: ‘thefuture.png’

Jens Anderson: Meet Baby Meownaut

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Great desgin

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: baby cute😍

Jens Anderson: Yeah all of us “hard guys” in the team had soft knees when we saw it haha 😊

P W: We’ve got loads coming up but baby Meownaut is directly linked to our upcoming launch. You can see him hanging about on our website wynautdefi.app as a teaser for the community. They weren’t meant to know that 😁

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: How can we earn those lottery winnings?

P W: Great question! We launched the Meowth lottery yesterday, which currently runs twice a day.

To enter, you can buy a ticket for 1000 Meowth, and winning numbers are drawn at 0700 UTC (UK time) and 1500 UTC.

This is a cool example of how the community influences the development of Team Rocket Finance actually. The lottery came up as a great way to spend and burn Meowth, and we used community feedback to quickly decide on the finer details too!

We’ll keep refining this until it’s the most exciting lottery in all of BSC 😌

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: So interesting, I will join, I hope to have good luck to win 😃

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: give a link where we can buy, please

Jens Anderson: Hope you don’t have PW’s luck!

This guy didn’t win a 90% chance of winning during testing!

P W: Ugh this is actually a true story 😂😂😂 Haha good luck Andres! I haven’t won yet, I’ll water my money plant later though

Jens Anderson: Some community members won big yesterday though 😊🔥

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Haha thank you my friend

P W: Thanks Gold! Go to https://wynautdefi.app/lottery to buy your tickets to the Meowth Lottery 👈

Jens Anderson:

 Over 200K Meowth’s up for grabs currently

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: And thank you! In fact, I very rarely win in such lottery… maybe lucky this time😁😉🤞

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:

 I never 😢

P W: You got luck on your side this time Gold!

Jens Anderson: Fingers crossed!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks❤️ Sorry, longread )))

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Thank you for the clarification, are you ready for the next question?

Or do you want to add something else?

Jens Anderson: Hit me! (with the next question)

P W: I’m ready too 🙂

Q3 from Telegram User @MihaiPisica

One of the ongoing issues that have faced the community since the infamous dev wallet theft is that the original APY figures were based on your promising launch of a market-leading APY that was great for everyone, at least until that incident. How did you set this right? Can you assure further situations like this will not happen? How do you plan the rebuilding of the project and the community itself? How about reactions over revealing of your two new tokens, with regards to Wynaut and Meowth? How they will work?

P W: Firstly, great question from Mihai – it’s really important that we let everyone know how the team and the community have been working together to rebuild the Wynaut / Team Rocket project since that dev wallet theft.

To start off with, since we built the new team comprised of the trusted old team members and new people from the community, we have been able to get the Wynaut dev wallet fully renounced and the Meowth dev wallet only holds small funds for burns, lotteries and small marketing costs.

The majority of the liquidity for Wynaut and Meowth is in the hands of the community – as the Mandalorian would say, ‘this is the way’.

Jens Anderson: And also there are two sides of this coin – trust and tokenomics/business logic

P W: Going forward, we are moving the new tokens onto a multi-signature wallet – this means that any decisions that involve token transactions will only be approved if the team democratically agrees.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:

P W: Love it!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Me too 🙈

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Talking about it, could you share your tokenomics with us?

P W: The Gen2 tokens have increased usability – my favourite features are Claim All which takes all of your farmed rewards and puts them in your wallet in one transaction (lowering gas fees), and Compound All which does the same but puts them back into a pool.

So they’ll be safer with the new dev wallet structure and also more useful for the community. Although BSC’s gas fees are considerably cheaper than ETH, I think everyone agrees they would rather pay less gas!

Jens Anderson: We’ve been working a lot on building trust internally in the team and also in the community. Internally we’ve doxxed eachother and aren’t anonymous anymore. We are working on a multisig wallet for the new platform and will distribute power, so any one person can never go rougue.

We have a few ideas for how to keep TVL high to ensure liquidity for the new tokens and making these funds inacessible to us.

On the tech-side, the old tokenomics were great. At least the idea of them, but the parameters themselves need tweaking.

Currently Wynaut has a 3,6% fee attached to its transfer. 1.8% is burned and 1.8% is distributed to all the holders!

We like this idea and will keep it for the next gen, but we’ll slightly tweak the numbers for sustainability.

P W: Wynaut has already been audited, and we plan to do the same with our Gen2 tokens too.

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Which company has audited Wynaut?

Jens Anderson: Another issue with the current platform are the farms. They really are rather randomly setup. You can farm meowth for more meowth, so what’s the purpose of it?

The new platform will give each token it’s specific role to play. Wynaut-2 is your deflationary store of value that should increase in price over time with the decrease in supply, while meowth-2 is your inflationary token that will be used as currency on the platform (Lottery, NFT’s, etc.).

We are playing with the idea that Wynaut Exclusively can farm meowth, such that the farms make sense and have sensible APY’s.

P W:

Hope that PDF helps for anyone that wants to do a deep dive!

The audit was done by Vidar – following the audit where he noted the power of the dev wallet to change the fee structure as a potential vulnerability, the dev wallet has been fully renounced.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: great useful feature, to be honest👏👏👏

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club:  Great work facing the issues👍

P W: Really appreciate it! It’s vital that we face those issues head on and solve them properly. Big thanks to Mihai for asking a vital question

Jens Anderson: Of course we are also looking to get the Gen-2 platform fully audited multiple times

P W:  The more eyes on it, the better. We’re happy for anyone to check out the contracts

Jens Anderson: Trust, security and sustainability are the three pillars of Gen-2

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Gold words👏👏👏 Thanks guys for the clarification! Ready for the next question?

P W: Sure!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Shoot @AndresM77🚀

Q4 from Telegram User @garrinepotter

I found information that you hold meetings with the community and jointly make decisions on the project. I am sure that the events are fun because your project makes a smile thanks to the anime characters. But are there really important decisions in such a cartoon atmosphere? Share with us what major changes have been implemented shared in the community and who has the right to vote. Can you call yourself a full-fledged DAO?

Jens Anderson: “But are there really important decisions in such a cartoon atmosphere?”

The community is all fun and games, but there is serious money at play here. While the environment is playful, we fully acknowledge and take the responsibility we have when it comes to people’s money.

Any decision we make has impact on people’s investments. We *always* go through tens or hundreds of game-theoretic scenarios before we decide upon anything. We sometimes get complaints about why we did this and that, but most people do not think deeply about all the parameters and stakeholders at play. Everyone only thinks about their own specific situation, but we have everyone’s situation in mind. We want to do right to all our beloved community members, and every single decision is serious to us.

P W: The graphics are fun, the theme is fun, and of course we’re basing it off of a beloved cartoon universe. But we want to do right by everyone with an ecosystem that is built securely by a team that can trust each other fully, and create something that allows people to invest and enjoy themselves at the same time.

I guess you can see that there’s two sides to Team Rocket Finance – the playful creative side, and the serious tokenomics and trust that underpin it all!

Jens Anderson: We are not a fully-fledged DAO at all. The past two weeks have been rather chaotic and we’ve taken the devil by its horn to revive the community and the tokens. Someone had to take charge and do what needed to be done. 4000 people deciding at times of chaos wasn’t plausible. However we’ve stabilized quite a bit since then, and we are slowly moving towards more and more community-focused decisions.

We hope to be able to stake one of our tokens in a governance system sometime in the future, however. I personally look forward to that.😊

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for your position. If you want, you can share your plans for 2021.

P W: A governance system is definitely something that has been discussed already in the team. We have to take steps towards being a DAO of course.

Jens shall we tell them about the pre-sale?

Jens Anderson: Yeah!

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Yes please, and some details about your roadmap for this year would be great

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Everyone can fall, only the strong can rise! You are strong and funny guys 😸

Jens Anderson: ❤️

P W: Just to recap – Wynaut is a deflationary and reflectionary token that burns 1.8% of all transactions, and reflects 1.8% of all transactions back to its HODLers. Meowth is our inflationary token created by frictionless staking within our eco system.

Essentially, we are rolling out the same features of Wynaut and Meowth into the new tokens – holders will only get the new benefits (security, usability and more) with the ‘Generation 2’ tokens because of how the contracts are set up.

So with new features, and the heavily discounted pre-sale price for Wynaut and Meowth holders that I can tell you about right now (!!!), we expect that people will naturally move towards Generation 2 tokens… here we go:

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: We really love the secrets and hints at Satoshi Club😉

P W: Pre-sale info is as follows:

We have to finalise the calculations for the exchange, but currently they stand at:

1 Wynaut = 1 new token

1.8 Meowth = 1 new token

This is the early pre-sale price for our community.

We will also have an option for people who do not hold Wynaut and Meowth:

1 CAKE = 37 new tokens.

This places Wynaut and Meowth at an incredible discount, compared to buying via CAKE. We will then launch an improved lottery, and some of the NFT features we discussed that people will be able to join in with using Gen2 tokens.

Our roadmap includes:

– a massively improved user experience for trading and staking in our ecosystem

– Gen2 improvements with multi-signature wallets and optimised contracts for lower gas fees

– the development of NFTs

Naturally, as the community continues to stabilise and grow, we will be looking to the community to suggest and vote on new features

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: What are the main benefits for holders?

Jens Anderson: The plan is to build a whole eco-system surrounding cool NFT’s, gamification and collectibles. “Wynaut-2” will be the deflationary SoV of this platform and will be used to farm the currency (Meowth-2) of the ecosystem. With time the supply of wynaut-2 will fall by *a lot* and if the ecosystem becomes the success we are working towards, the demand will rise extremely too. So you’d be holding a token that has high demand, low supply, all the while you’ve been farming a bunch of currency and gotten the reflection fees. The longer you hold, the more your stack grows basically.

Let me iterate how powerful an idea it is:

Your stack grows, but the supply falls.🔥

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Wow, you have an strong project, I should recognize you for that 😃

P W: We really appreciate that Andres!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: thanks for the answer! ready for the next one?❤️🚀

Jens Anderson: HIT ME

P W: Let’s do it!

Q5 from Telegram User @ovkneze_big

I know that Wynaut is a frictionless token with a burn mechanism — every transaction burns 3.6%. That means 1.8% gets subtracted (burned) from the total supply, and the other 1.8% is distributed evenly among all hodlers and sent directly to your wallet. Tell me if this burns already work, how many tokens already were burned or when do you plan to start this. Also, i want to ask if this mechanism is working with those who is farming their Wynaut in your pools?

Jens Anderson: Wynaut had an initial supply of 36M tokens but currently stands at around 23.7M and keeps falling. It’s been alive for 3 weeks only. Imagine 3 years.😊

Obviously with the turnover to new tokens we are hitting the reset button. But this is everyone’s chance to get in from the very beginning!

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: I imagine a big pump🥳

Jens Anderson: Oh you had another question in there

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Good chance!

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Btw, for join the pre-sale is there a whitelist?

Jens Anderson: Open for everyone!

And any cake we receive, we plan to support TVL with then burn our access to it 🔥🔥

“Also, i want to ask if this mechanism is working with those who is farming their Wynaut in your pools?”

Yeah. The reflection is passed on to the pool, of which you have a %-stake of, so when you withdraw, your extra tokens will be in that calculation too.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: yes explain with farming

P W: Open for everyone, but the best rates are for Wynaut and Meowth holders of course!

Jens Anderson: It will ensure a base amount of liquidity that no one is removing. Giving the new tokens a good start in life.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Everything is clear to me😁

Thanks! Are you ready to proceed to the next question?

Jens Anderson: Yes, hit me 😁

P W: Ready for it!

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Go🥳

Q6 from Telegram User @Pratze

After join in your telegram, I saw your community chat about lotto ticket and lottery system. So what are the connection this lottery with Wynauth project? Is this kind of airdrop or new presale system, and how does your lottery system work? And also what are the prize for the winner?

P W: The lottery system spends and burns Meowth – it’s a fun way to manage the inflation of a naturally inflationary token. Later on down the line, we’re looking at adding NFTs into the lottery. How cool would it be to enter the lottery, and even if you don’t win Meowth, you get an exclusive NFT?

The winning numbers for the next Meowth Lottery will be drawn in 11.5 hours – currently the jackpot is over 200k Meowth! Feel free to get your ticket and I wish you the best of luck @Pratze

Jens Anderson: I want to invite anyone who’s wondering about it to head over to the lottery page and click around. There a bits of information that should make it straight forward 🙂

https://wynautdefi.app/lottery

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: Satoshiclubbers, let’s join, that price should remain here 😁 Haha we would love it if Satoshi Club got involved with Wynaut and Meowth, and benefitted from the pre-sale prices! Then I think you are ready to interact with our community😁

P W: Let’s do it 😝

Jens Anderson:

Andrés M. | Satoshi Club: The part 2 is coming, the rain of questions

Jens Anderson: Let’s play boys and girls!

Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community

Q1 from Telegram User @Mamberr0y

Your X10 extreme speed initiative for farms and pools in Wynautdefi was a complete success ,I understand this is not the first extreme speed ,I know it just finished but when will be the next one ? Or what other initiative do you plan to implement in the future? I think extreme speed differentiates them by far from other farms or pools.

Jens Anderson: There will definetly be more Extreme farms coming 🔥🔥 However they won’t be full-week events, it was a bit overkill. We learned a lot from this one. We will periodically turn it up 10x a few hours and make it worthwhile for those, who are keeping up with latest news 👍

Q2 from Telegram User @stargateeatlantis

I want to join but what are the basic requirements for me required to join and start using Wynaut?

P W: Great question actually – you need a wallet compatible with BSC (Binance Smart Chain) transactions. I personally use Metamask, but some of our community use Trust Wallet and Binance Chain Wallet.Once you have that set up, just go to https://wynautdefi.app, and the Trade buttons in the menu will allow you to buy Wynaut and Meowth through the awesome team at PancakeSwap!

Q3 from Telegram User @Beterror203

Hello @pw0_0 You say on your channel that you exchange $ WYNAUT and $ MEOWTH, farm and pool, and buy lottery tickets, you have a lottery but if I am a small investor I will also have a chance since whales can have an advantage over this or is there a limit per person?

Jens Anderson: Everyone’s chance is weighted by risk by nature. Imagine you putting in $10 and having a chance of winning $10k. Now imagine someone putting in $1k and winning nothing. The more you risk, the higher your chance to win, *but you are risking more*. So it’s fair for everyone.

Q4 from Telegram User Da Funk

The rap songs are straight bangers. Is Y Not doing everything, writing, producing, rapping etc?

P W: Y Not is a creative machine. We’re very lucky that he can write, rap, produce and promote his songs for us. I’ll link to his latest track now!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH-biV-40jY

Q5 from Telegram User @Ebelto

They recently changed the domain from Teamrocket app to Wynautdefi. app how hard was it to make this change? And what security measures did you implement to ensure the well being of your users and your platform?
@pw0_0 @JensAnderson

@pw0_0 @JensAnderson

Jens Anderson: This is a very good question actually.When the new team formed (fully community-based) we had no control over the platform. We didn’t have any of the logins for twitter, medium, github, domains etc. The first two days was focused on gaining control back. Little by little we got the code, the smart contracts, passwords etc. But we weren’t able to get the domain, so we had to move over. Currently we are 100% in control of everything and there is no outside-risk to it. Even the wynaut smart contract has no owner now, since the original dev renounced ownership.

Q6 from Telegram User @spongeboblu

Are there any other social media platforms or other online places that you are promoting and advertising Wynaut to grow communities other than telegram? Or is it just telegram for now?

P W: We use a few actually! I’ll drop some links here:

Website: https://wynautdefi.app

Telegram: https://t.me/whynotrebuild

Twitter: https://twitter.com/WynautCommunity

Medium: https://medium.com/@WynautCommunity

Q7 from Telegram User @moonhold

The key part here is the time, what’s the longest time I can lock my tokens with Wynaut defi?

P W: We actually offer frictionless, flexible staking so there isn’t a set time. Of course we would love for you to HODL your Wynaut and Meowth, but the main rewards are from 1.8% reflect in Wynaut and the Meowth rewards from farming and pooling. There’s a great mechanic between the two tokens that we think is really interesting and lucrative, and it gives holders the flexibility to move around as they see fit.

Q8 from Telegram User @rioliandaro

Wynaut = Pokemon.

Are you a big fan of pokemon ??

P W: Funny story: as a 10-year-old, I built my very first website about Pokemon (Red and Blue at the time). Feels like we were destined to meet again with Wynaut and Meowth!

Q9 from Telegram User @kosku21

How do you work to expand the community and become more known? What are you planning in the project with the other DeFi ecosystems? Do you plan to have technological alliances or be one more competition?

Jens Anderson: Great question. Obviously we are doing cool AMA’s like this one! They help a lot. We’ve recently gained a new team member who has absolutely awesome  graphical skills. He also has a grand vision for marketing and branding. We are planning, under his advisory, a complete makeover of the websites which includes synchronized branding across all our social media accounts. The NFT’s will also spread like wildfire we believe, since we have very good idea’s about how to create a collector’s environment with them. You know the feeling people had when they bought a pack of pokemon cards and a legendary was in there? We will bring this to the blockchain.

Q10 from Telegram User @joy19x

Southeast Asia is a very vibrant market and many project developed here so with Your project what do you think about Southeast Asia and do you have any plan to develop here?

P W: We would love to build a larger community in Southeast Asia – I myself am half Southeast Asian (half Filipino). We see massive potential to grow our community there. We already have a Vietnamese Telegram channel, and if anyone else would like to help grow our ecosystem in Southeast Asia then please feel free to reach out. 🙂

Q11 from Telegram User @thanbien

How was the idea to create this project born? It is very interesting. What do you want to prove? What are your expectations?

Jens Anderson: The original dev is not with us anymore. But when I asked him, his answer was that it was just a meme. But an interesting thing happened, where a special community was building around it based on wynaut memes. Community grew from 300 to 4000 in like two days. So it was never intended to blow up, but it did. After the collapse, the new team wanted to rebuild it and we were astonished by how much support and faith the communtiy was still showing! So we decided to evolve through the meme-project and actually provide real value. That’s where the things with NFT’s  and tokenomics that I was explaining earlier come into play.

Q12 from Telegram User @ubuntucoder

The defi market is a new technology growing very rapidly and there are security breaches almost everyday in defi projects so what Wynaut have on security problems of those?

P W: We mentioned it earlier, but there are a few factors where we feel we are making massive improvements – Wynaut has already been audited, and we will be seeking multiple audits for the Gen2 coins. We also have a team that have internally doxxed, and we are moving onto a multi-signature wallet system so that control of the token development is split fairly across the system. DeFi is an incredible new tech, I completely agree. At the same time, we can take so much guidance from DevSecOps from more established fields. Luckily our team has massive experience here!

Q13 from Telegram User @AllenLu                                      

The lottery is done weekly or daily, how do they do it, how does it work, how do I know that it is truly transparent? @pw0_0

Jens Anderson: The lottery is a fork of Pancakeswap’s own lottery. The mechanism is very similar and the smart contracts themselves are not that different. Millions of $ are being paid out by pancakeswap and it is a grand success. So the model itself has been proven to work. We will add our own ideas (hint; legendary NFT’s) to the lottery when we are ready, so it will become its own truly unique product.

Q14 from Telegram User @Akira23

Is it possible for you to tell  us the incentive and advantages for investors to hold Wynaut and Meowth token in a long term? What strategy do you have to support and handle demand and shortage of the token?

Jens Anderson: The plan is to build a whole ecosystem surrounding cool NFT’s, gamification and collectibles. “Wynaut-2” will be the deflationary SoV of this platform and will be used to farm the currency (Meowth-2) of the ecosystem. With time the supply of wynaut-2 will fall by *a lot* and if the ecosystem becomes the success we are working towards, the demand will rise extremely too. So you’d be holding a token that has high demand, low supply, all the while you’ve been farming a bunch of currency and gotten the reflection fees. The longer you hold, the more your stack grows basically.

Let me iterate how powerful an idea it is:

Your stack grows, but the supply falls.🔥🔥

Q15 from Telegram User @ronaldo_super

I want to earn coins while giving your system liquidity so which coins can I use?

P W: Hey Ronaldo, good question! I would recommend buying either Wynaut or Meowth on wynautdefi.app and then creating a liquidity pool with BNB, CAKE or BUSD that you can farm

When you farm with LP, or pool with Meowth, you are rewarded with more Meowth. This incentivises people to stay within our ecosystem and enjoy growing their stacks.

Farming is a humble profession, but one I enjoy 😁

wynautdefi.app – go to Trade at the top to get started

Part 3 – Quiz Results

In the final part we tested your knowledge in terms of  Wynaut. They’ve prepared 4 questions for this part. The total reward pool for quiz was 3000$.

We are pleased to announce our ama with DERO project

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Dank: – @Dank

Kryptoid: – @realkryptoid

Joshy: – @notoriousjoshyb

Welcome today, is an honor for us to have you here

Kryptoid:

Thank you for having us.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Welcome to satoshi club guys!😊

Dank:

Yeah, a pleasure to be here.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

How are you?😃

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks  for joining 😍

Dank:

Another day in paradise 😁

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

To begin with, please tell us a few words about yourselves and how did you get to be involved in the crypto & DERO projects?

Kryptoid:

Well, @Dankfc I have been with the project as community members since the beginning and now along with @notoriousjoshyb we have founded the DERO foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to support both the community and the progress of the DERO project. We have been managing the community and project for years together as a team at this point.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Is there only one official DERO community or do you have several local communities?

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

DERO has been developed since 2017

Kryptoid:

Our official communities can be found in our telegram information and on dero.io. In general, our most active community is on discord. We also have a very active french telegram.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Please share links with our community!🙏

Kryptoid:

Of course!

Website | Discord  | Forum | Github | Reddit | Twitter |

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks for sharing👍

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Satoshi clubbers, let’s join🥳

Joshy:

Greetings all, a pleasure to meet you

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Thank you

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Welcome to satoshi club👍

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Nice to meet you too.

We have collected some community questions, are you ready to answer them?😁

Kryptoid:

Ready when you are. :d

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

We are looking forward to this moment !!!🚀

Preselected questions about the Dero project.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Q1 from telegram user @auguss7

I understand that DERO combines pow with a dag block structure, but couldn’t it be compatible with pos? Or only privacy can be obtained with the given combination?

Kryptoid:

Privacy comes from Cryptonote on our current chain and our homomorphic encryption on our current test-net. Pos could possibly be compatible, however since DERO is 51% attack resistant because of the blockdag structure, we find pow to be the most secure way to reach consensus.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Sure, we have a question about this type of attack.

Dank:

Also, we look at fairness when seeking consensus. Pos has many benefits, but security and economic fairness are far greater with pow.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Of course, you take a great decision with pow.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks for your answers👍

Dank:

The lead dev, captain, has always looked for green solutions, so that is something that is always on our radar. Feel free to dm or join our discord if any know of tech that may fit in with our ecosystem.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Of course, we will, our users are always interested in technical topics.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Want to add something or we can proceed to the next question?😊

Kryptoid:

Feel free to proceed.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Q2 from telegram user @konditer_rolex

The fact that DERO   networks do not need any extra layers or secondary blockchains for the full functioning of contracts is of course good. Tell us about the commission on the network and some technical information about how and by whom the operability of the DERO   network is maintained. And how are you doing with the scalability of the blockchain.

Kryptoid:

Yes, everything is layer one on dero. The network is maintained through distributed nodes run by users. So far, what we have seen in the capabilities of dhebp (our new homomorphic encryption blockchain protocol) scalability is going great. This new protocol can support hundreds of transactions per second and thousands of transactions in a single block. We are also getting ready for further stress testing right now.

Dank:

If by the commission, you mean a “gas” concept, we are still working for a better way. Currently, on our testnet, smart contracts are relying on the standard fee-per-kb. We understand that gas will be a major issue as seen in the defi mania, so it will be approached with the same level of attention as all previous technological advancements.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Btw, tell us a bit about your successes in the project, i know there was a hard fork a year ago…

Kryptoid:

Yes, our new pow, astrobwt was deployed. If you are interested more about astrobwt you can find that here

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

For whom are destined the commissions on DERO network?

Kryptoid:

Miners. 😃

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Great and there is a reward for holders?

Kryptoid:

No staking, no.

Dank:

We would also like to see full node operators with rewards as well.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Interesting, how to achieve my own node?😃

Dank:

The idea is to remain as open as possible, but there are a lot of considerations. We are not there yet. Hopefully we will have some more news on node rewards soon.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

We are looking forward to this news!

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Oh got it, we will be waiting for it in Satoshi club community💪

Kryptoid:

All a user needs to do is run the DERO daemon to be a node operator. Currently, node operators do not earn by running nodes but we hope to provide an incentive with the next release. It will be discussed further in our community as we get closer to mainnet.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Thank you so much for this clear answer.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks for sharing 😊👍 ready for the next question?

Kryptoid:

Always ready.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Q3 from telegram user @juansb07

On their website, they explain that DERO will be safe against most hash rate attacks. And that exactly is 51% immune to hash rate attacks. So, how DERO has managed to have this protection against hashrate attacks? If they are immune to half the attacks, why not reach total protection of 75-100%? Do you think about improving this security system?

Joshy:

With the new stargate testnet, you can now run a fast sync node that will sync the DERO daemon almost instantaneously which will be much easier for mobile devices, etc, or alternatively, you can run a full node that will sync the entire blockchain and run a full node.

Kryptoid:

I think that is a misinterpretation of what a 51% attack means. It means 51% and above. Although 100% hash rate attack would be literally the entire network. Not sure you could do anything about that. :d

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks for the clarification! Do you want to add something from yourself?😊

Kryptoid:

When deploying astrobwt pow to mainnet, we actually had a large hash rate issue at the time of fork. The chain settled in about 20 minutes or so and there were no problems. Because of the low amount of miners at that time and the level of hash rate it was a real-world simulation of something like a 90% attack.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks for the answer! Ready for the next question?

Joshy:

Just to add to this, when this was happening it was great to see DERO dag in action on https://network.dero.io/ feel free to check it out😃

Please feel free.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

By the way, I tried to install your wallet today and it was very easy to use it. Are there any features or features that you are proud of? 😉

Joshy:

All of the wallets are great, the command line wallet is very easy to use with a little bit of guidance if you are not familiar. Our browser wallet at https://wallet.dero.io/  looks and runs great. This can be also used on mobile. I personally like the design of this which was done by one of our community members “zoz” which we are very grateful for. Dank is also working on a GUI wallet that is available at https://git.dero.io/dero_foundation/cmd one of the great features of this wallet is the speed.  With stargate coming to the mainnet in the future there will be many changes to the wallets.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

How many tokens can I hold on that wallet?

Kryptoid:

As many as you like 😃

Joshy:

As many as you like but remember to save your seed in a safe place 😃

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Haha of course😁

Dank:

To add, we are also working to improve the UI/UX, which seems to be an issue for crypto in general.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Yes the design is very good and the menu is available! You did a good job! 👍

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Wow great job, I’m going to install it, as you said is highly secure😃

Kryptoid:

We always remind users to keep their seed safe (as josh said) and make sure they practice good personal security. A wallet is only as secure as you make it, at the end of the day.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Q4 from telegram user @gutike95

Since 2018 DERO has been migrating to other mining chains and algorithms to the point of obtaining a block time of 27 seconds, is this really the minimum time that DERO can reach? Or with future associations could they be reduced even more?

Dank:

It is not the minimum, but the block time will be within some range of that. We need more data from the testnet to find the sweetspot for smart contract execution.

Q3 follow-up: but to go a bit deeper, there are multiple checks in our protocol. As a couple of examples, on our current mainnet, we check the mempool to ensure that all transactions are added there first. We also check for double spending on our client protocol with the help of cryptonote key images, which can only be spent once. With the blockdag structure, competing blocks are added, some as side blocks, so all transactions are added.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Has your mainnet been audited?

Kryptoid:

Yes, it has been. Also, we have had a situation with our bulletproofs that we did not have the same bugs that were released with other chain’s implementations. Our developers are pretty advanced with cryptography and security, i think that shows in the quality of not only our current mainnet but the new testnet as well.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

I agree with you, that could increase the trust of the users about the quality of the project.

Well, something else to add, or are you ready for the next question?

Kryptoid:

I think we can move on.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

All the users need this type of advice.

Joshy:

For the most secure option please see the guide on creating a cold wallet –  https://docs.dero.io/rtd_pages/basic_coldwallet.html

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

It will be great a DERO physical wallet😁

Q5 from telegram user @garrinepotter

Is it possible to mine DERO now? Tell me where to find your software for mining and what hardware it is better to do it. Possibly there are pools and can you tell me how to find them?

Kryptoid:

There is a miner included with the download for the wallet that you can use to solo CPU mine. With the current hash rate of the network, a lot of users choose to use pools. Xmrig currently supports astrobwt for this.

Joshy:

Absolutely it’s possible and it is very easy to use with dero’s own miner. Please see the guide to mining on windows and Linux here https://docs.dero.io/rtd_pages/basic_mining.html

Kryptoid:

There are a lot of places to find lists of pools but we do have a zero fee community pool that was donated by a community member nelbert442.

pool.dero.network

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Satoshi clubbers! Note! 😉😁

Joshy:

If anyone ever needs support with mining to feel free to jump in our #mining channel on discord https://discord.gg/xr8txqke and we will help out as much as we can.

Kryptoid:

As far as hardware, people use CPU and GPU. As far as hash rate to wattage ratio, they are fairly close. Astrobwt is GPU resistant (i haven’t seen anyone even claim more than a 1.3x improvement on efficiency with GPU) but you can still use GPU successfully to mine. You will not have a huge edge against the CPU miners, though.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thank you very much for the answer! This is exactly what our members wanted to know! 👍

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Of course, a lot of clear details 😃👍

As a CPU miner, I need I high-tech computer to mine dero?

Kryptoid:

It all depends on electricity cost and how much DERO you are looking to mine, Anybody can mine but slower CPUs will obviously take longer to find coins.

https://github.com/deroproject/astrobwt/issues/2

Feel free to share your benchmarks here.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Do we need any kind of license for it? Some countries ask for licenses to BTC miners. Talking about legal earnings.

Kryptoid:

Not as far as I’m aware, no. I guess, check with your local laws and regulations. 😁

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Sure😁. Before the last question, can you share with us your tokenomics?

Kryptoid:

Sure.

DERO uses its own chain and is not a token of any other platform. Tokens can also be launched on DERO and are also natively accessible in the wallet as well as private.

Circulating supply is about 10.4m

The total supply is 18.4m (currently with tail emission of 157k/yr similar to xmr)

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Thank you so much

Q6 from telegram user @cleotilde1

Dero’s smart contracts seem to be designed for a network of majority businesses, what about minority businesses and companies or individuals in full development? Are your services designed to satisfy both businesses?

Dank:

DERO is an open platform, so the protocol works the same way for all participants. Where you will find unique and tailored business needs, will be in how smart contracts are developed. There are no restrictions that should limit any individual, business, or developer from deploying applications on our network.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

So, summing up our fascinating conversation, please tell us why dero?😉🚀🚀🚀

Kryptoid:

DERO is a fully functional smart contract and services platform with speed and privacy at its core. The goal is the ease of use, security, and privacy for everyone.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Do you mind if I quote from your website?

Kryptoid:

Feel free.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Kryptoid:

There you go. 😁

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

It seems to me better can’t tell👏👏👏

Joshy:

DERO also has added a unique feature of the private service model on its blockchain which supports the building of market-place, secure and safe voting-systems, identity verifications systems,crypto-exchanges within the DERO eco-system.

More info on this here 

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thank you very much for your answers and information! It was very informative! Ready for a storm of questions?

Kryptoid:

As ready as we can be. Thank you all again.

Andrés m. | satoshi club:

Thanks to you for your time😃

Joshy:

Thank you for having us!

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

I will open the chat for 2 minutes, after that you will need to select 10 questions and answer them.

Kryptoid:

Sounds great.

PART 2.Questions about the Dero project from the live chat of the telegram community.

In this part, we open a chat for the crypto community for 120 seconds. Then the guests from the Dero crypto project choose the top 10 questions. The 10 crypto enthusiasts have earned cryptocurrency in the sum of 40 Dero.

Q – 1 from a telegram user @highpee

I saw this statement on your twitter.
“On $DERO, you don’t know who interacts with the Smart Contract, but you know what you’re executing.” It’s somehow confusing. Can you explain what that mean? How can we know what the smart Contracts is executing when it’s unclear who is interacting with the SC?

Dank:

Our Stargate RC2 release allows for both public and private smart contracts, but in either case, the smart contract code is public. This is for auditing purposes and also for public safety. Everyone should know what code is being executed. See an example on our explorer:

Q – 2 from a telegram user @Pratze

I believe that Dero is really a great project and has a good future, can u pls tell me how to do investment with Dero Project? Do u have any ICO or maybe presale now? 

Joshy:

DERO did/does not have ICO or presale. If you would like to buy and hold/trade DERO you can on TradeOgre –  and Kucoin –  as always we would not recommend holding coins on the exchange so please visit to find wallet user guides. They are very secure as long as you store your seed safely.

Q – 3 from a telegram user @Indomiekuy

Dero project is an industry leader with many totally new development in a blockchain ecosystem for example fully anonymous transactions based on Homomorphic Encryption. Could you introduce to us what is Homomorphic Encryption and how does it work?

Kryptoid:

Homomorphic Encryption works by computing data that is encrypted without decrypting it first. So, information is taken in encrypted and private. Then the calculations are performed while still encrypted and the answer is returned encrypted. The node performing the calculation does not know the unencrypted data at any time.

Q – 4 from a telegram user Deleted user

&?&

Dank:

DERO blockchain services allow the delivery of 128 bytes of data which can include URLs, license keys, identity verification, crypto exchange, and more. Once a transaction is sent to a service provider, a reply will be sent to the sender with the same level of privacy. See more details:

Q – 5 from a telegram user @Gabrielle124

What is DHEBP? and what does it do in your platform?

Joshy:

DHEBP stands for DERO Homomorphic Encryption Blockchain Protocol. Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption allowing one to perform calculations on encrypted data without decrypting it first. The result of the computation is in an encrypted form, when decrypted the output is the same as if the operations had been performed on the unencrypted data.

Homomorphic encryption can be used for privacy-preserving outsourced storage and computation. This allows data to be encrypted and out-sourced to commercial cloud environments for processing, all while encrypted. In highly regulated industries, such as health care, homomorphic encryption can be used to enable new services by removing privacy barriers inhibiting data sharing. For example, predictive analytics in health care can be hard to apply via a third party service provider due to medical data privacy concerns, but if the predictive analytics service provider can operate on encrypted data instead, these privacy concerns are diminished.

DERO will use Homomorphic account based model, a first for privacy-focused blockchains. This will allow Instant account balances, No more chain scanning or wallet scanning to detect funds, or the need for key images, Massive scalability improvements (fixed account cost of 66 bytes in the blockchain), Truly light-weight and efficient wallets & Perfectly anonymous transactions with Many-out-of-Many Proofs (Bulletproofs and Sigma Protocol) to support deniability.

Q – 6 from a telegram user @Cleotilde1

I was reading on your website about the modifications that DERO made during the course of 2020 and there are several milestones, how did you manage to switch to a new mining algorithm in full swing of the pandemic, and what benefits has this new algorithm-generated so far for DERO?

Kryptoid:

While it was definitely strange to be working and preparing for an upgrade during the pandemic, our developers, team, and community are very resilient. We had something that needed to be done and we made sure it happened.

So far the main benefit from the change in the algorithm was getting away from the CryptoNight ASICs and distributing hash rate into a more diverse set of miners.

Q – 7 from a telegram user @Xusuo

The $DERO team already announced public testing of Stargate RC2, a private decentralized application platform. What issues are you trying to solve with Stargate RC2? Can you explain what is the main use of Stargate RC2?

Kryptoid:

The first one is obviously privacy, current application platforms do not use layer 1 privacy. Layer 1 privacy is essential because if your privacy is on layer 2, you are still using an open and transparent chain underneath.

Another problem that Stargate tackles is scalability. DHEBP not only provides the privacy for the chain but it’s account model allows for fast transactions that are instantly settled in 1 block. This aids in creating a more scalable platform than can be found in most projects today.

The main use of Stargate is for whatever your heart desires. With the ability to do smart contracts as well as services the options are very open. Tokens, defi, apps are all possible with complete privacy at it’s core.

Q – 8 from a telegram user @Sumione

Is there any plan to list DERO in exchange like Binance, Okex? Why didn’t you choose Ethereum as a blockchain so that it could get listed on Uniswap and will have mass adoption?

Kryptoid:

Exchanges are always welcome to list DERO. We aren’t huge fans of paying exchanges for the “privilege” of being traded on them, however.

ETH is not private and as you can see by gas fees has scalability issues. DERO’s technology lies in it’s blockchain, it is not simply a token that can sit on another chain. The power of DERO comes from the DERO blockchain itself.

If users would like to create something like Uniswap on top of DERO, that is possible however because it is its own platform.

Q – 9 from a telegram user @MihaiPisica

Will be able someone to track my funds?

Joshy:

DERO has wholly anonymous transactions, with DERO Stargate senders can prove to receiver what amount they have send (without revealing themselves). The Anonymity group can also be chosen in powers of 2 via the wallet. With the addition of Homomorphic Encryption DERO will be even more private than CryptoNote.

Q -10 from a telegram user @NataliyaKil

The web version of your wallet doesn’t work on mobile devices? The button: “create a new wallet” is inactive on the phone?

Kryptoid:

Due to the limitations of WASM currently, some devices have a harder time running the web wallet. We have found that Firefox for mobile usually can run the web wallet on most devices. As WASM improves in the future, we expect compatibility to grow with it.

Part 3 – Quiz about project

In the final part, we tested the knowledge in terms of the Dero project. They’ve prepared 4 questions for this part, so everyone could be a part and answer. Participants had 10 minutes to answer. 170 Dero was distributed between the winners.

AMA Satoshi Club x Kylin Network, March 2nd

Educational task of Satoshi Club drives us to acquaint you with all new projects. We were delighted to welcome our guest from Kylin Network. The AMA took place on March 2nd, 2021 and our guest was @dyLanoshi.

The total reward pool was 500$ and was divided into three parts. In this AMA Recap we will try to summarize some of the most interesting points for you.

Part 1 — introduction and questions from the Telegram&Bitcointalk community

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Hello SatoshiClubbers and welcome to Kylin Network AMA! Today our guest is @dyLanoshi, welcome!

D. Папа Роуч: hello all! @dyLanoshi hello! good to have you here!

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: great to be here!

D. Папа Роуч: how are you doing?😊 this is the first question of our AMA😄

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: honestly, not bad – after 6 days of intensity, got some rest finally last night

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Nice to hear 😄

D. Папа Роуч: great!

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: not that i actually know what that is like unfortunately, but i can imagine it is similar, intense and bewildering being in the midst of a launch is like an acid trip

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: It should be difficult of course. So you had a nice rest… That’s nice, because Satoshi Club has many great questions for you 😉

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: but extremely grateful too! and emotional – 6 months ago no one knew who we were really, and our team has worked so hard and our community has been so amazing. we have such a great group of people who have put their faith in us – from our fist investors to our latest supporters during the launch

D. Папа Роуч: so, are you ready for the portion of AMA with Satoshi Club? 😉 @dyLanoshi

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: yes!

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Congratulations 👏👏

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: thank you

D. Папа Роуч: yeah, this is awesome feeling!  so let’s begin with intro? can you please tell Satoshi Club a bit about your experience in crypto? and introduce Kylin Network as well? 😊

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: Yeah for sure!

So I’ve been around for some time. Known about BTC since late 2010 and then actually really started down it in late 2011. Initially had more of an academic background, but half of my working life is still prob in more itinerant jobs like waiting tables and such, actually. Eventually found myself in the context of corporate world and progressive involvement in blockchain. From Toronto and met Ethereum team early on, took part in their ICO and held until the last bull run. Did some angel investing after that which I sucked at and then started moving into building projects and teams, with a focus on either crypto primitives/fundamental problems, or both.In a really really general way, Kylin aims to be the basic context for a DeData world.We connect the real world to the blockchain and vice versa

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: You are an early adopter 👀😄

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: believe it or not when btc was at $70 I thought I was late. lmao

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: things were so so much differen then

D. Папа Роуч: haha still not late to buy at 50k😄😉

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: conan obrien started making fun of it on his show, people just thought it was ‘zany’ then, like the same as people wearing tin foil caps to protect from microwaves. No joke. We’ve come a long way

D. Папа Роуч: nice journey! more than 10 years in crypto! cool

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Lucky you 😉

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: a lot of people focus on the fact that we can provide a more cost-effective, higher throughput oracle use-case, but this is actually the tip of the iceberg, we hope

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Oh my god…😂😂😂😂

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: i don;t want people to get an impression that i have tons of btc, btw – i was as rational as anyone else along this whole journey. just fyi

D. Папа Роуч: so you sell most of them in profit 😉 something like this? 😁

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: yes, crypto has been good to me, but i also spent many years in the trenches explaining it to people who thought i was a little off

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:  😄😄

D. Папа Роуч: haha alright! thank you for the great intro @dyLanosh ! if you are ready we can start with the questions from Satoshi Club community? 😇

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: yes please!

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Let’s go!

D. Папа Роуч: let’s gooooo! 🚀

Q1 from Telegram user @Highpee

Your token sale on PolkaStarter which was set at a price of $0.05 was exhausted within 2 minutes and not all whitelisted address were able to participate. But I learnt you are going to run a Phase 2 sale through a Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP) on Balancer. When is the Balancer sale and will you require a whitelist/KYC for this? Also, Why is the price of the Phase 2 sale set at $0.95 which is far higher than the $0.05 price for POLS sale and what assets is/are needed to participate in this phase?

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Great question 😄

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: I will be the first to admit our launch was challenging. We had a really massive interest in the IDO, and I think we should have been better prepared for it. Ultimately, we have to compromise on features of our token launch design (and overall tokenomics). ok, so the LBP. this was something we figured out as a cutting edge methodology to engender some more fairness in the launch process. it’s this really neat way to prevent bot front-running

https://kylinnetwork.medium.com/kylin-token-launch-phase-2-liquidity-bootstrapping-pool-lbp-on-balancer-725fe67f73a8

WARNING — LBPs and timing

This is probably unlike any other sale you’ve ever done. Unlike in, say Uniswap, where two assets in a pool have equal weight, in LBPs the weights of the assets can be changed over time, hence, we ‘bootstrap liquidity’. As noted above, it is important not to jump in too early. Stay rational. If you feel the price is too high, wait a few minutes or longer until it reaches a value you think is correct. Unlike a standard pool, there are two main methods by which the price can change: 1) there is a constant downward pressure on the price from the variable weighting, but 2) in concert with this is that the price will get a ‘bump’ every time someone sends USDC to the pool in exchange for KYL.

WARNING — LBPs and price discovery

You will need to understand that when you swap USDC for KYL in a LBP pool, you essentially are ‘naming your price’. Although we have a starting price, of $0.95, this does NOT mean that KYL has been valued at $0.95! This is essentially a placeholder starting point at a 19X (95/5=19) valuation to the public sale price of $0.05 that should help prevent bot front-running prior to the weight function kicking in. We repeat, do not confuse the starting price with a proposed token value! In other words, if everyone does nothing or, overall, adds very little liquidity when the LBP starts, the price will naturally fall, and fall fast. This is why it is so important in an LBP to stay calm and not FOMO. Over a certain time period, it should become more and more clear the price basis of KYL, which is why it is further recommended not to ‘storm the gates’. In simplest terms, the LBP puts a lot of agency in the hands of the participants to work dynamically and most importantly — organically — toward a methodology/system of price discovery with hopefully a more rational and human basis than other ways. Subsequent to the LBP ending, the token price will be set in the Uniswap pool, which represents the 3rd and final phase of the KYL token launch.

I’m just going to copy/paste what we’ve put together up here for ref too^^^

D. Папа Роуч: thank you! also, as i heard token sales on Balancer are quite expensive regarding to gas fees, is that correct? so people should hold more ETH to make a successful transaction there?

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: TL;DR: the $0.95 IS NOT an assessment of value, it’s a function of the LBP. afaik as expensive as on any DEX, but would you rather a bot scoop it?

D. Папа Роуч: nope

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: and yes, people should hold adequate eth to run txs

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: That’s important❗️

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: i hope this all makes sense?

D. Папа Роуч: sure!

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: so the idea is we really want to get to organic price discovery based on humans. IMO we are in an unhealthy phase – too bullish and valuations are too crazy. LBPs hopefully enforce some rationality on retail investors

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: You are right 😂

D. Папа Роуч: yep, market is very hot, it’s a bit scary 😁

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: ultimately leading-we hope–to better entry points, but we all have to work together on this – IT’S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOT TO FOMO IN ON THE LBP

wait

wait

watch

do not jump in

you will get rekt

D. Папа Роуч: so best strategy is a bit wait, and then buy for the more adequate price😇. i hope it will work 👀😄

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: whatever you do, and i can’t i guess formally give advice, but my academic sentiment on this is do not go in at the start

D. Папа Роуч: gotcha!

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Noted

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: we have a ton of great analyses floatng aroundin the unofficial chat on this btw. Really fascinating to speculate on how it will go down

https://t.me/kylin_krusaders

D. Папа Роуч: nice! need to read those posts 😇 Thank you for the good answer! ready for the next question?

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: ofc

Q2 from Telegram user @lequang123

Kylin network plans to Unlock the potential of DeFi using bridges and cross-chain synthetics. Will it be possible to establish cross-chain liquidity bridges to make it easier for LPs to work and improve the status of transactions? What improvements will we see in the blockchain with kylin?

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: so, this is something we are working with Shadows a bit on already (and others). short answer is yes! it will take some time before this is really operational like it is in other contexts (eth world eg), bc Polkadot needs some time to mature yet, but i expect within 6 months. 2nd part of the question is super general, but Kylin at its base is the scaffolding to a validated data infrastructure for the world. we are just getting kickstarted with the oracle use case, but the oracle use case is just one of a sea of validated data use cases that will drive decentralized data proceses.

D. Папа Роуч: so Kylin Network will support many blockchains? what will be the fee structure? will we have to pay everytime when we connect to new blockchain?

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: eventually, yes, through bridge-chaining on polkadot. The fee structure is like this.

D. Папа Роуч: ok, got it

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO:

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club:

I have no questions regarding this answer 😳

Which is pretty strange haha. Great answer Dylan 👏

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO:

thanks! there are really 2 sides to Kylin: the NPOS consensus side which is like a fork of dot and then the biz module side (which is really far more interesting in some ways as it’s the innovative aspect). They interoperate and we have this extremely juicy incentivization aspect to oracle scripting on the biz module 15% in perpetuity

D. Папа Роуч: oh yeah, i see😊

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: so we expect a cambrian explosion of people engineering really cool scripts, either in a journeyman way, or as part of a way of dogfooding data providers themselves. Does this all make sense? so consumers pay in KYL for access

D. Папа Роуч: it definitely makes sense 😄

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: and that paid KYL is given overand then likely about 60% of KYL is locked at any time for ~12% APR and that staking mechanism drives skin in the game for oracle and arbitration nodes Kylin is like if DOT itself became a data feeding/consumption functionality validation layer. This is why we call ourselves infrastructural because, even though off-chain workers satisfy oracle functionalities in a way in Substrate 2.0, they are limited and there’s no way to validate what they bring on to chain. I should prob note that i’m done with each response, huh?lol

D. Папа Роуч: haha! thank you for detailed explanation! i think you gave us as much info as possible 😄👍thanks a lot! ready for the third question?

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: for sure

D. Папа Роуч: let’s do this!

Q3 from Telegram user @KevSalom

As you say, a good oracle service must have four important characteristics: accuracy, timeliness, high cost against attacks and decentralization. Does Klyin Network meet all these characteristics in their entirety? What role does Polkadot play in all this? Has it been key to achieving what other oracles have failed to do?

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: yes, we do, i think. accuracy for sure will come with time and become more robust as we engineer many sources of data feeding (apis). timeliness for sure! we can settle much faster thanks to DOT, in near real-time high cost against attacks, yes on this too; through our arbitration mechanism and slashing decentralization – in the long-term for sure, though we need to ve a bit careful at the start and vet validators a bit through 100 validators program, but they get vetted less and less as the system becomes more robust. Polkadot’s role is that it provided us the context we felt to adequately solve The Oracle Problem in the way that it needed to be solved – at a cost effective and high throughput basis

https://kylinnetwork.medium.com/kylin-network-the-sufficient-case-for-solving-the-oracle-problem-c92c237d532e

We think it’s the key, yes

D. Папа Роуч: would you call Chainlink your main competitor?

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Does Kylin really have competitors? They will smash them all

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: here’s the thing: chainlink is awesome, but chainlink will need to innovate beyond their narrative imo oracles are like email in 2001 they will be a feature.I don’t see that we have direct competitors (like Chainlink) in the sense of any project attempting to build an infrastructural level data validation layer. Of course, we get compared to Chainlink a lot, and that’s ok. Most people who will employ data feeding services will use a variety of oracles to come to the best result, and it is only logical. Finding partners, so far, has proved pretty smooth. In the most general terms, Kylin is a general data validation layer. In more specific terms, it’s probably best conceptualized as a cross between Chainlink (we can satisfy getting off-chain data on-chain), the Graph (through querying we can get on-chain data, off-chain for analytics), and then Ocean Protocol (where we are setting up the basis for a decen-tralized data market infrastructure).  So yeah the Chainlink comparison is necessary, but not sufficient.

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Btw Dylan, an offtopic question. How big is your team?

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: FT and PT we are 22 or so, and it looks like Berkeley will lend us one of their BC accelerator interns soon too. and then we have this amazing amazing committed group of volunteers – i think around 10 or so now with a core group of 4 or so ambassadors

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Not a small one 💪Do you plan to extend those groups?

(Won’t DM You First) – Dylan Dewdney | Kylin Network – CEO: i guess not now ha i expect that we will expand the ambassador network a bit as needed

https://kylinnetwork.medium.com/introducing-the-kylin-ambassadors-program-kap-34d0c76e08fc

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Thank you for your answers! Do you want to move to Q4? 😊

PUML Better Health x SatoshiClub AMA from 1st March

Hello, Satoshi clubbers Another AMA took place in Satoshi Club and we would like to introduce to you the AMA session with our friends from PUML  Better Health and our guest was Damien King, the founder, and CEO of PUML Better Health. The AMA took place on 1st March.

The AMA session was divided into 3 parts with a total crypto reward pool of 500$

In this AMA Recap, we will try to summarise the most interesting points for you.

Part 1 — introduction and questions from the Telegram&Bitcointalk community

Mary | Satoshi Club: Hello Satoshi Club! We are happy to announce our AMA session with PUML Better Health! Welcome to Satoshi Club😀

D. | Satoshi Club: and our today’s guest – @mpdigitald ! welcome to Satoshi Club!

how are you doing?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io : Hey Everyone!

I’m doing great!

Thanks very much for having me today.

Mary | Satoshi Club: @mpdigitald welcome here!

We always happy to see new faces in Satoshi Club!

Could you please introduce yourself and tell us more about PUML Better Health!

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Sure thing,

My name is Damien King, I’m the founder and CEO of PUML Better Health.

My background is engineering and startups.

I’ve worked for 20 years as an engineer and had a SaaS startup in UK I exited from.

I’ve founded 3 companies as well.

Got into bitcoin in 2012 as a miner just playing around.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Wow, you are among first!

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Then after ethereum was released started looking at the amazing smart contract functionality.

But didn’t really do much until 2018 when I wrote the white paper on PUML Better Health.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Why Health?😀

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: For those who don’t know what we are…

We gamify health and wellbeing challenges for Corporates and Brands.

The reason for health for me was after my first major startup, I actually suffered health wise.  Drinking redbull and vodka coding every night after a day job at Virgin where I was head of development for Virgin Media Entertainment.

Took alot out of me and started to get founder fatigue.

So 2 things resonate with me that is the foundation.

1.> Its hard to be motivated to stay consistantly active and healthy.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Yes, i understand now 😀

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 2.> Data, especially health data is super valuable.

So that is the backstory of why.

The how we can get into shortly.

Mary | Satoshi Club: And you are right in every your word😀👍

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: [ 😊 Sticker ]

Mary | Satoshi Club: [ 👍 Sticker ]

Thanks for your introduction!

Do you want to add something or we can go to the questions from our community?😀

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Let me explain a little more about the project.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Of course!

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: So PUML Better Health is a Dapp but also its going to be a platform and global digital fitness currency.

Unlike other protocols we have tried to focus on non-crypto users first more like a traditional startup.

We already have large corporates who pay us $1 per employee per month to run fun gamified challenges in our dapp such as Step Challenges, Heart rate challenges, sleep challenges, meditation and more.

This means we are able to scale without any reliance on the token or tokenomics at this stage.

Mary | Satoshi Club: It’s logical, 😀 and will help mass adoption as well 👍

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Yes, we have already hit 100K users since launching in Aug 2020.

D. | Satoshi Club: sleep challenges – i would try that😄

Mary | Satoshi Club: Great achievement!

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Most of those use our platform and are learning about the importance of data and they fact you can earn rewards in exchange for that data.

Mary | Satoshi Club: I am thinking more about activity 😂

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: But they don’t need to own private keys on signup.

Its a journey we teach them about crypto and blockchain as they become our members.

This means we can scale to millions of users with revenue and as they adopt crypto PUML will be their first exposure to it.

The apps have an inbuilt PUML wallet, along with the fitness and wellbeing challenges.

Mary | Satoshi Club: As i know non crypto apps mostly don’t give rewards, right?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Exactly.  All our tokens can be exchanged for PUML coin and kept in private wallet or exchanged on hotbit and more exchanges coming this year.

Due to Covid its more important than ever for companys to invest in their employees health and wellbeing.

D. | Satoshi Club: indeed!

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: We view everyone as an athlete who requires sponsorship to be healthy.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Nice, you have good incentives to use your app!

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: The sponsor pays for the token reward.

This is what makes our tokenomics so simple and effective.  It creates its own supply and demand the more brands and corporates we sign up.

They buy the tokens to incentives employees/customers, the customers get healthy by completing healthy challenges and recieve PUML.

Improve your health and your wealth with $PUML!

Ok I think that should be a good overview.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Simply put, if I install your app and will, for example, walking a lot I will get rewards?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Any more questions on that

D. | Satoshi Club: awesome concept win-win for both parties😊

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Yes we have some public challenges from brands like Footlocker.  But not every country is supported.  We need to sell into the country otherwise we don’t have anyone paying for the reward token.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Which countries do you currently support?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: This is where lots of other social apps have failed.  They keep giving away their token but don’t have any utility to buy it.

Our main focus is Australia/UK/US/Singapore/Vietnam/Indonesia.  But we are live in some other countries as well.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Where we can find full info about countries?😀

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Just check by going to https://get.puml.io

And check if its in your appstore.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Got it! Thanks!

And we can discuss PUML Better Health in details while you will answer questions from our community! Ready for them?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Sure

D. | Satoshi Club: thank you for great intro! let’s dive into the questions!

Q1 from Telegram user @Highpee

PUML has an innovative system that collate and breakdown each users physical activity into units of data which are used to build a distributed health record of users. Since you are working with person and confidential health data of users, then your system should be able to prioritise privacy and security. How secured is your protocol and how are personal data of users protected? Are these data units monetized? Who have access to stored health information and how are they encrypted when these records are pushed to your MainNet?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Ok great question, few parts to it.

So firstly its worth pointing out we don’t have a mainnet live.

We expect this to be 24 months away and the reason does relate to how we can use a distributed health record and be compliant with HIPPA and many other data privacy acts in EU and even AU.

Right now we slip data into units and store them in our cloud system and each data is related to an anonymous profile/record.

So even we do not know whos data it is.  You as the account holder has this data with multi authentication + bio metric face or fingerprint on the device.

You can also add your Private Active key to the PUML Wallet to make it more secure.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Is there any chances that you can sell some data or share it with your partners?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: However, we plan to use a form of a private chain and IPFS for our distributed health record.

Yes so everyone owns their data, even now on the cloud solution.  We can bring data deals to you and you can opt in to earn PUML if you have data that is required.

All our data is encrypted but again when we launch our mainnet it will have further cryptographic onboarding and protection policies written into the protocol.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Thank you for your answers!

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: [ 🚀 Sticker ]

Mary | Satoshi Club: It’s always a pleasure to feel that your data is secured!

Ready to proceed?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Yep

D. | Satoshi Club: let’s do this!

Q2 from Telegram user @meml97

As we know, there are ways to trick this Apple and Android health apps, and make them count more steps that you maybe actually took. So, how are you going to prevent people from tricking their apps in order to get more PUML Coins?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: So firstly we control which data is approved.

We have a partnership with Fitbit/Garmin

And are in discussions with Huawei and Samsung

Plus we also have Apple Health and Google Fit.

So there are 2 ways people can cheat.

1.> By trying to use apps and scripts to modify data.

We have a 2 systems that check data and automatically remove any data that has been manuel or modified by a 3rd party app.  This has taken lots of tuning and we expect to turn this into a machine learning algorithm so it  improves over time.

But so far we are very good at removing cheaters.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Did someone already tried to cheat your app?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: oh hell yes

2.> Is people can trick the wearable by shaking their hand quite a bit.

This is getting better, new apple watch makes this impossible.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Cheaters never rest😂

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: However, this is minor and if people are actually moving then we are happy.  Our objective is to make people become more active!!!

Mary | Satoshi Club: For sure! Hope your app will make more and more people healthy!

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: One person tried to sit on the back of a scooter and shake his arm while his friend rode.  We thought this was pretty funny and if they want PUML that bad its ok for the moment.  Ha.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Ahaha 😂

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Finally the community is the best

They will instantly call out anyone cheating with high activity and we can do manual reviews as well.

Mary | Satoshi Club: I think most of people think more about their health than about rewards😀

Community always is the key😉

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: You would think so but not usually. Short term always outplays long term thinking.

This is why you need to create healthy habits when you are young.

Mary | Satoshi Club: 👍 Thanks! I think our Satoshiclubbers will join your project to stay healthy and rich😀

Are you ready for the next question?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: your all welcome.  For sure

Q3 from Telegram user @Xusuo

After checking PUML application, I found unique feature about staking and I can stake into a “physical challenge” And “mental challenge” from your application. How does your staking system work? And how is the calculation reward that we will get from your staking?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Currently we haven’t released this feature yet.  We have a few different staking and defi functions coming in the future.

1.> You can pay an entry fee of PUML for a challenge.  Each challenge has a goal, like Meditate for 5mins per day for 30 days.  If you hit the goal you get your staked PUML plus a reward.  If you miss you goal you loose your staked PUML.  This means its a larger incentive to make you create a healthy habit.

2.> Defi – We have a ROA – Return on Activity.  This is coming where you can stake larger PUML rewards for longer periods.  This will always return a % but you can muliply the return by also hitting an activity goal such as 10K steps per day over the 3 month period.  If you do you get a 2x, 3x 5x return.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Even if one day lost? So, it’s mean that a person will lost rewards for all month?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Both of these are on our roadmap but currently not live.

For 1.> Yes you have to achieve goal (smaller stake) like 10-1000 PUML

But 2.> 1Million PUML larger rewards, its only a bonus, never loose any stakes.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Could you share your roadmap with us?😀

D. | Satoshi Club: but how your app can tracks that i meditate? maybe im just sitting on my couch drinking beer and watching movies

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Meditation is an example that is harder to track.  Unlike heart rate, sleep or calorie burnt.

However, you need to hit the start timer within our app, that has background meditation music and complete this.  The fact you have to do that every day an not mediate is pretty unlikely, but yes there is a level of trust on meditation.

Again its creating a habit.

You think about mediating every day for 30 day without ever doing it is still better than never thinking about it.

D. | Satoshi Club: got it 👍

Mary | Satoshi Club: Haha, i imagined 😂 better meditate

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Beer meditation might become a thing though 😂

Mary | Satoshi Club: Thanks! Really interesting info! Never thought about health apps from this side)

Ready to jump to the next question?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io:Yep

Q4 from Telegram user @igervacio

You have a promotional system called “EDM Marketing” that helps your users’ brands. How can I promote my physical training and fitness products through this marketing system? What steps should i follow?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Ah nice.

Yes so right now we have 2 revenue models.

1.> Corporates paying to help employees be healthy

2.> Brands paying to make their customers be healthy.

So Brands like Footlocker, can run global virtual challenges.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Do they already pay?😀

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Such as walk 600K steps in 60 days.

The brand pays to run the challenge.

They get a branded challenge

A video that every member watches when they enter the challenge

Their products can go in our marketplace to be redeemed by PUML Coin

Plus they can email everyone who complete the challenge a reward or discount code.

So its a win win.

Our user get free puml and merchandise for being healthy and the brand gets to engage and gamify their customer base from anywhere in the world.  Through social virtual communities.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Yes, and users will need to give permission to use their email before they will start this challenge?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Yes each challenge can have its own terms and conditions

But generally we don’t use email as much as inApp notifications.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Did you already complete this kind of challenges?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Yes we have them live in the app.  Footlocker has just extended with 2 more challenges in Singapore and Hong Kong starting soon.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Great! Will try to find my country in your app😉

D. | Satoshi Club: by the way do you have any affiliate program at the moment, just for your users? or maybe some sort of VIP program for the most healthiest?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: We dont at the moment but I think thats a great idea.

We want to bring on influencers later this year, this will really grow our use base and thus more users with more crypto and PUML

Mary | Satoshi Club: Thank you for your answers!

Ready for the next question?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: yep

Q5 from Telegram user @kherrera22

Reading your web page, one of the things I liked the most was that PUML gives the possibility for users to donate their coins to charitable organizations, but in relation to this, how does PUML guarantee that this money does go to charity? Do you have a mechanism to verify that the “organizations” in question, if they exist and are legal?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Yes this is very important to have a purpose around a challenge.

When you do a challenge by ourself, like some of our competitors have personal challenges its very static and non motivating.

But at PUML everything is social, if you have your friends, family, work friends it all increases the likelyhood of being more active and completing the challenge.

In addition when you add a purposeful charity

It can really motivate you.

We work with the corporate or brand to select a charity, then we also use an official fund raising integration that has a charity number so we know its legit

We collect the PUML on behalf of the charity and then convert it to fiat to make it easy for the charity.

This can all take place within the app.

Mary | Satoshi Club: It this charity proposals available for all countries or also have exceptions?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: We have only added Australian charities at the moment but we have a new Singapore charity coming later this month.

In theory it can be any country.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Ok, i know a lot of events when people run for charity etc. That’s great that now it can be done using app😀

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Yes totally agree.  Thanks.

Mary | Satoshi Club  And only one 6th question from part 1 left 😀

Ready for it?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: yep

Q6 from Telegram user @JesusFre1tes

With COVID-19 many of the social events have been affected and cancelled. Since PUML always encourages participation in walks and marathons, how have you adapted to this new reality so as not to lose the quality of your services? What changes has the project undergone during this time? How have you managed to keep your users in good shape and in optimal health?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Yes actually covid has been very good for us.  Some other systems  use GPS to track users activity and this doesn’t work indoors.

We on the other hand could continue to run virtual challenges while people were working from home.

Stairs and walking around the house all counted.

We also had other challenges like Sleep, Meditation, Heart rate that again didn’t require our members to be outside.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Yes, overall Covid helped crypto a lot

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Through our innovative technology we have been able to show real USP to our customers and they were very happy with our outcomes over this preiod.

Plus covid really shows the importance of preventative health.

WE are all about preventative health

Mary | Satoshi Club: To be honest i need Sleep challenge, but i am afraid that i can loose 😂

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: Yep, well I might loose that tonight seeing we are only on part 2.

D. | Satoshi Club: yes, and we have 10 questions for you there😄

Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community

Q1 from Telegram user @Saradgyawali

How does PUML platform get the revenue? Do you provide any financial report of the company revenue and growth?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 1.> So PUML earns revenue by charging Corporates, Enterprises to use our platform to run employee challenges.  We charge $1 per employee per month so if we sign a large company the revenue is very good. 

We also charge brands to run global virtual challenges as an advertising model

Finally we will also have a premium version where users can run their own challenges and watch workout videos and live stream within the app.

Q2 from Telegram user @alejinnah

Currently from  where i can buy PUML?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 2.> A nice easy one.  You can buy PUML on Hotbit.io Newdex.io or some of the swaps like defibox and more.  However, we are very early.  We will add more exchanges in 2021

Q3 from Telegram user @RamonPila25

You offer a wallet with a single payment for life, however, is it possible to keep the PUML token in a third-party wallet? Do you offer your wallet for free with limited features?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 3.> Yes you can store your PUML in any EOS based wallet such as Anchor, Scatter, Wombat Wallet, Token Pocket and more

Q4 from Telegram user @biggdata

Project titles can contain interesting stories or messages. Who chose the name “PUML” I wondered why?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 4.> PUML stands for Personal Units and Movement Data.  Our platform is designed to make people healthy but at the heart is data and data protection on a decentalised digital health record.  Data is split into PU – Personal Units and ML – Movement Levels that the intensity element of the movement.  We plan to use AI to generate predictive diagnosis of lifestyle diseases on your data.  So not only can you earn revenue but hopefully it helps prevent issues like heart disease and diabities.

Q5 from Telegram user @cryptoflower13

Do I have to be a company to launch a challenge? Can’t I create one for my family? How much would this cost me?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 5.> Currently you can’t create your own one but we are adding this feature later this year.  You add you PUML reward prize or have an entry fee in PUML, then invite your friends and family to battle it out.

Q6 from Telegram user @Amirjosh

May I ask what other benefits when creating a Lifetime Account of PUML Better Health. Will Lifetime Hoders can recieve extra rewards and maybe discounts for future products and programs of PUML?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 6.> Yes we are going to look after our early adopters.  We are only just starting and this has a huge global application that could be a mass market product.  Early adopters will not only get cheap PUML they will also get extra challenges and bigger rewards in the future.

Q7 from Telegram user @jirencrypto

What is the biggest company that has so far decided to launch a challenge within PUML Better Health?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 7.> The biggest brand is FootLocker.  The biggest company is a global company we can’t mention the name of but they have over 10K employees in Australia and 300K employees globally!

Q8 from Telegram user @Arisabela

Last night I saw some stadistics and there’s already 28.495 $PUML token holders, can you give us a review of the growth of your token since it was released and how it stands today? Is it really worthy to make a long term investment?

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 8.> It has grown very fast but most token holders have recieved tokens via airdrop or referral system.  Most of our 100K users still have not added a private key and thus not included in the 28K users.  We are very early with lots of features, revenue and marketing coming.  As we add more exchanges and get more volume our token will be a very good long term play.  We have 500Million tokens and the majority is locked in planning for future, team, project fund, defi fund and more.

Q9 from Telegram user @riolandaro

What is the reason PUML chose to build OnEOSIO ???

PUML Squad – https://puml.io: 9> We started on ethereum but when we wanted to build a mass market dapp that would have millions of users we realised we needed to build our own mainnet.

EOSIO was a great choice for fast transactions so it didn’t slow down the mobile app.

Plus it is very cheap, as we can stake EOS and have near unlimited transactions on our smart contract.  We could not do this on Ethereum.

In the future we are considering a wrapped token PUMLx to be on Ethereum to help liqudity.

Q10 from Telegram user @surendra040

Do you have any plan of listings of PUML in uniswap and other big exchanges like PUML

PUML Squad – https://puml.io:10.> We plan on launching on more exchanges CEX this year, 1 more bid one and 1 large one.  Plus in the future a wrapped token on ETH

Part 3 – Quiz Results

As usual, for the third part, Satoshi Club Team asked the chat 4 questions about the crypto project. A link to a Quiz form was sent into the chat.

Blank x Satoshi Club AMA Recap from the 1st of March

Hello, Satoshi clubbers Another AMA took place in Satoshi Club and we would like to introduce to you the AMA session with our friends from Blank and our guest was Aleksandras G. – @AleksandrasG, CEO of Blank, and Iman – @ImanHWA, CTO of Blank. The AMA took place on the 1st of March.

The AMA session was divided into 3 parts with a total crypto reward pool of 500$

In this AMA Recap, we will try to summarise the most interesting points for you.

Part 1 — introduction and questions from the Telegram&WebSite

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Hello Satoshi Club! We are happy to announce our AMA session with Blank! Welcome to Satoshi Club😀

D. | Satoshi Club:
@AleksandrasG @ImanHWA good to have you here! Welcome!

Aleksandras G.:
Happy to be here! Thanks for having us = )

Iman:
The pleasure is ours, thanks for having us!

Aleksandras G.:
I have to admit, the amount of interest we have received lately has been overwhelming. Excited to see so many faces focused on Blank. Just shows that we are on the right track of bringing privacy to everyday DeFi investors.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Ok, let’s start our fun!!! Could you please introduce yourself and tell us more about Blank!

Aleksandras G.:
Sure! I’m Alex – CEO of Blank, and we have @ImanHWA who is our CTO here too. We set out to build Blank after we spent a good time in the DeFi space. To us, it became apparent that with DeFi gaining traction, users started to bring what was a centralized activity before (such as trading) on-chain, which resulted in many leaving a lot of personal data behind.

The current privacy space on Ethereum lacks convenient solutions – users have to experience a lot of friction, for what we feel is a simple human desire – privacy. So Blank is a solution to answer those issues – privacy and convenience.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
How old is your project?

Aleksandras G.:
We started with the conception in November, and we’ve spent all those months in stealth development. We came out of the stealth mode a month ago and focused on finding strategic partners.

I’m happy to say that last week we closed our private sale round and have onboarded a number of experienced industry professionals that will help to make Blank a success.

We’ve posted a blog about this:
https://blankwallet.medium.com/blanks-private-round-of-1-8-million-successfully-closed-oversubscribed-68x-f3df27baaa73

Ethereum is only a starting point for us. We’re sure that as long as other blockchains or layer 2 solutions will get traction in terms of users and ecosystem, Blank will support it too!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Are you ready to dive deeper into the details and answer the questions from our community? Or you want to add something?😀

Aleksandras G.:
Well, there’s a lot to tell about Blank!

I think our website and whitepaper does a good job on that, but we can always start from the community questions – we’re very curious to learn what are the hottest questions on everyone’s minds 🙂

Mary | Satoshi Club:
We can start with the hottest of the hottest 😉🔥

D. | Satoshi Club:
Q1 from Telegram user @borysfireball
I see a wild interest in the upcoming Blank Wallet IDO on Polkastarter! Please tell me if there are limits to wallets that will be whitelisted? What do I need to do to apply for a whitelist? What will be the maximum and minimum limits on IDO? Why did you choose Polkastarter?

Aleksandras G.:
Thanks for the question @borysfireball!

While we have defined some limits per wallet, these are subject to change and haven’t been announced yet. This information will be cleared up in the upcoming days, but we are looking to limit around $500 per whitelisted address (with no minimum).

You can read the whitelisting process criteria here: https://blankwallet.medium.com/the-whitelist-for-blank-wallet-is-now-open-bf0f1baf6d6f

As for the question “why?” – we were presented with a lot of options, and we felt like Polkastarter matches with our goal the most – getting exposure to the largest community out there.

For us, it’s very important to ensure that Blank wallet will gain traction and usability, and so doing an IDO where the largest number of eyes can see it definitely contributes to the product exposure later down the road.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Do I still have chances to try?😂 And what do you think in how many seconds your IDO will be completed?

Aleksandras G.:
Our whitelisting form will close tomorrow, so yes – You still have the time to apply! I have no idea how fast it’ll sell out, but one can hope for the best 🙃

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Thank you! I have no doubts about its success 💪 Ready to proceed?😀

Aleksandras G.:
Sure!

D. | Satoshi Club:
Q2 from Telegram user @RosemaryBianco
In “cover your commercial activity” you say that users do not need to pass their “KYC” since Blank contains “maximum” privacy and security. Can you explain to me how Blank ensures maximum privacy? What tools do you use to contain maximum privacy and security?

Iman:
The Blank wallet implements several measures to ensure a user’s privacy. There are 2 major categories those measures can be divided into:

1.: On-chain privacy; Using special privacy smart contracts that utilize zkSnarks technology, Blank lets every user mix his funds with a pool of thousands of other deposits with the click of a button.

2.: Off-chain privacy; The Blank wallet also protects the user from off-chain tracking. The wallet does not collect any user data by default. Furthermore, the Tor network is utilized to communicate with the blockchain node provider at all times.

More information on this can be found here: https://blankwallet.medium.com/how-does-the-blank-wallet-work-f0ec59c61b7

Mary | Satoshi Club:
So, no one will be able to track my funds?

Aleksandras G.:
That’s right!

Blank solves privacy in several areas:

Conceal your wealth:
Only you can see, access, and manage your funds. We group your wealth with other individuals’ under a smart contract, so no one can track capital ownership but you.

Hide the origins of your wealth:
Information about how you acquired your wealth should stay with you. We give you the option to hide or show your wealth origins.

Cover your trading activity:
No KYC. Maximum privacy. Each time you make a withdrawal or a new trade, you start on a blank piece of paper — a new wallet with no previous activity history.

D. | Satoshi Club:
I have read that you use a 12-word seed-phrase in your wallet. why did you decide to use 12 words instead of 24? I thought a 24-word seed is more secure.

Iman:
Theoretically speaking, 24-word seed phrases are more secure. Practically speaking though, 12-word seed phrases are more than secure enough, with an entropy of 128-bit.

Aleksandras G.:
And then there’s a question of striking a balance between convenience and security.

24-word seed phrase may be marginally more secure but provides a lot more headaches in terms of storage/convenience. For instance, higher odds of having one word written down incorrectly if You write it on a piece of paper, etc.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
That’s right 🙂 Ready to go to the next question, guys?

Aleksandras G.:
Always! You can shoot them and we’ll answer as quickly as we can humanly type 😎

D. | Satoshi Club:
Q3 from Telegram user @Arisabela
Isn’t it a secret for everyone that the unusual higher gas fees turn the Blank wallet very expensive to use these days, in one of your papers it’s mentioned that you expect to solve this problem with the implementation of Ethereum 2.0 in the future? What accommodations will be made once this happens and how will be the gas problem fixed or partially fixed?

Aleksandras G.:
Great question! It’s important to outline few aspects here:

Short term
Midterm
Long term

Short term:
We believe that initial Blank’s user base will come from wealthy DeFi investors. We believe that there’s a correlation between a higher amount of wealth, and a higher desire to receive privacy. This is why we feel like in the short term, our initial users won’t be worried about high gas fees, as they would be willing to pay that price for privacy. For instance, in recent months, the usage of Tornado.Cash (which has similar gas prices) only increased.

Midterm:
Certainly, for long-term growth, having lower gas fees is important. As mentioned, we are looking into separate blockchain solutions such as Layer 2 – Optimism, or separate blockchains such as Polkadot or Binance Smart Chain. The important note to make here is that the whole blockchain needs to have usability and ecosystem before we are ready to deploy there. If there are no users there, it’s pointless to expand into that solution, even if the gas fees are low.

Long term:
I feel like blockchains have a similar “chicken-or-the-egg” problem that privacy solutions face. For blockchains, the issue is clear: developers don’t want to build on blockchains that have zero users, and no users want to use blockchain that has zero developed solutions. That is why we believe that Ethereum 2.0 has the biggest odds of continuing this DeFi legacy, and it’s only a matter of time when it comes out. By the way, Vitalik Buterin recently introduced proposals that have already affected the gas usage on Ethereum which contributed to much lower gas fees: (https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/3298).

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Yes, I fully agree😀 does it mean that you’re at some point Tornado’s competitors, btw?

Iman:
Initially, we will be using the same smart contracts Tornado Cash is currently using. So I would see us less as competitors, but more as infrastructure partners for now. However, in the future, when we move off of Tornado smart contracts, that relationship might change.

Aleksandras G.:
Seems to be for everyone’s benefit 🙃

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Ok, but you know that governments hate privacy😀 What do you think about the legacy of your project?😀

Aleksandras G.:
I want to make it clear that we aren’t there to help people do illegal activities or hide from not paying taxes, etc.

Blank has features that allow users to comply with law and exchanges in case they desire to do so (proof-of-funds report), but even in that case, the on-chain transactions are hidden, and only the user can choose who he wants to give this information to (that is, to show where his money came from, etc.). In any case, at its core, Blank uses a smart contract, and the responsibility to comply with governments actually relies on the users – they choose what they want to do.

We feel like there’s a lot of room where users can benefit from privacy, when it comes to the usual DeFi activities, etc. We’ve all been there – I wanted to send ETH to a friend of mine, but didn’t want him to see how much crypto I held or which coins I bought – this is where Blank helps everyone with the added privacy.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Ok, thank you! I will definitely use Blank! And my next question… When? When I will be able to use it?😀

Aleksandras G.:
We are planning to have a closed-access version this month, with a public version likely to launch in April.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Btw, can you share your Roadmap with us?

Iman:

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Thanks! Ready to jump to the next question?

Aleksandras G.:
For sure

D. | Satoshi Club:
Q4 from Telegram user @meml97
I read in one of your medium articles that one of the benefits of $BLANK is that: “$BLANK token holders will be subject to considerable fee reductions which will be based on a tier-system depending on how many tokens the user is holding”. So, my question is, could you tell us what is the initial amount a user needs to hold in order to be considered for this fee reduction and how much this reduction of the fee is going to be? What is the max. reduction a user can receive thanks to their holding of $BLANK?

Aleksandras G.:
Thanks for the question @meml97

A more in-depth answer is written on our whitepaper:
https://blank-wallet.github.io/extension-whitepaper/book/BLANK-token/BLANK-token.html

Quote: “As previously discussed, wallet users will be subject to a service fee when using certain privacy features. However, BLANK token holders will benefit from notable fee reductions. Such a fee reduction will be tier-based and will depend on the number of tokens held: 1,000 tokens will equate to a 10% fee reduction; 5,000 tokens – 15% fee reduction; 10,000 – 25% fee reduction.”

Mary | Satoshi Club:
So, you will have a fee for every privacy feature usage?

Aleksandras G.:
There will be a fee for withdrawing from the privacy smart contract (regular blockchain transfers will still be free). While the fee is not set yet, we are discussing it to be in the range of 0.25%

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Got it! Let’s see, but as for me, privacy costs it.
Ready for the next question? Or you want to add something?

Aleksandras G.:
For sure! We feel like those fees are highly competitive with the current landscape.
Lets go = )

D. | Satoshi Club:
Q5 from Telegram user @lzamg
As amazing as DeFi is, we all have heard of security issues and hacks happening in the past. Since Blank Wallet is about privacy and anonymity, does that guarantee that all users’ funds are safe in case of hack threats?

Aleksandras G.:
A great question once again!

It is widely known that the DeFi ecosystem has encountered its fair share of hacks. The various hacks stemmed from the Turing-complete code, which has so far made the system rather vulnerable. Blank’s team, dealing with such a delicate matter, sees hacking as a big issue in the Ethereum space.

To limit these concerns, we will use industry-proven strategies that have been efficient in helping with transactional or payment-based platforms. For example, we will examine tested and industry-vetted open source projects, the code of which has been successfully used in preventing hacking risks.

Besides, we will audit the code before releasing it to the public with at least 2 different independent auditors – and publish their reports before releasing the update for our users. Lastly, we will implement the bug bounty program, where users will be able to detect bugs for a reward. The bug bounties will be classified by severity in 4 types: from lowest (1) to highest (4).

Thus, our hacking prevention will consist of 3 rather contrasting, but complementary mechanisms: tested technical solutions, the third-party audits from the experts, and the participation of Blank’s user community.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
I see you take security very seriously!

Aleksandras G.:
As all wallets should!

D. | Satoshi Club:
Here is a job for the bounty hunters from Satoshi Club, I know we have a couple 😄

Aleksandras G.:
Nice! We’ll post the bounties in the future on our social media platforms, so make sure to follow us!

D. | Satoshi Club:
Awesome! Satoshi clubbers don’t forget to follow @blankwallet and https://twitter.com/BlankWallet 🚀

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Ready for the 6th and last question from this part?😀

Aleksandras G.:
Yep!

D. | Satoshi Club:
Q6 from Telegram user @KevSalom
I read that Blank Waller has a kind of selective privacy that allows us to customize to who we provide transparency. Tell us about this, how is it set up, in what situations will this be useful, in what situations would I want to be transparent?

Aleksandras G.:
So this is referring to the optional proof-of-funds report.
Generally speaking:
You, the user, can create a report which displays proof of which addresses Your money came from (effectively getting rid of the whole privacy aspect). However, this isn’t on the blockchain and serves as a report which You could then use as proof to anyone You’d like. As outlined before, this is likely mostly needed for when You wish to comply with centralized exchanges or government institutions (if they ask You to show proof of where Your money came from).

D. | Satoshi Club:
Cool feature! so it’s like ‘optional privacy’ in Zcash?

Iman:
It has a similar idea, but as Aleksandras stated, in our case, if the user wishes to reveal his identity, he can do so off-chain and only for chosen entities. While with Zcash, you would reveal your address publicly to everyone.

In that sense Blank’s public’ mode is still a lot more private than Zcash’s.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
So, you think can your users can face issues with centralized exchanges, right? If they use privacy features.

Aleksandras G.:
It will likely come from the compliance aspect or future government regulations. Without this report, they may have issues, but that’s why we designed it to have this feature – to avoid any issues for users.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
You will warn your users about this?😀 I think it’s important.

Aleksandras G.:
Actually, it comes down to each exchange has its own policy. Just like some exchanges accept money deposits and others delist money from their exchange.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Big thank you for answers in part 1! @AleksandrasG @ImanHWA we will open chat for 2 minutes after the chat will be closed – you can start select questions from Satoshi Сlub members!

Iman:
Sure, let’s go!

Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community

Q1 from Telegram user @ Femi Oyinloye

Are there any additional or potential benefits of POLS holders or users that you are yet to share with us, pls do that?

Aleksandras G.:
POLS holders holding at least 3,000 POLS tokens for the last 7 days are able to access the exclusive pool to purchase BLANK tokens on the IDO day.

Q2 from Telegram user @ amila | TheFutbolCoin

Why didn’t choose BSC?

Aleksandras G.:
Ethereum currently has the largest ecosystem and largest amount of users.

As mentioned, we are looking to launch on BSC on the future, if it will continue to have a large user base.

Q3 from Telegram user @ Artillery Trade

How can I be sure the money that got into my wallet is not from a drug dealer?

Iman:
The funds you will receive from a withdrawal will always be the same you deposited from your own wallet before. The trick is, that no one else knows which depositing wallet those funds come from, giving you a new identity.

Q4 from Telegram user @ 🤳📱📸SCREENSHOT 📸📱 🤳

What kind of coins can I store in the Blank wallet and is there a fee?

Iman:
Initially, you will be able to store ETH and any ERC-20 token in the Blank wallet. There is a fee, but only for interacting with the privacy smart contracts. Besides that, you can use the wallet like any other browser extension wallet, completely free of charge.

Q5 from Telegram user @ Tuvalunia

Will Blank project have a browser plugin like Metamask, or mobile app, or both?

Aleksandras G.:
We stand for convenience. We’ve personally never used mobile wallets to hold crypto because it’s inconvenient (let alone interact with DeFi applications!) So Blank will only be a browser wallet for now.

Q6 from Telegram user @ Gabriel Lee

What wallet can we use to store BLANK tokens?

Iman:
Any ERC-20 comparable wallet. In the best case, you late store $BLANK inside the Blank wallet. 😜

Q7 from Telegram user @ 🤳📱📸SCREENSHOT 📸📱 🤳

Do you have a token for voting?

Aleksandras G.:
The upcoming BLANK token functionality will include governance. So it will be the same token!

Q8 from Telegram user @ Surendra Satoshi Club

Hello! @AleksandrasG @ImanHWA
How could I join Blank wallet IDO? Are there any requirements to get whitelisted

Iman:
Hello! For info regarding the whitelisting, it’d be best for you to check out our tweet:

Q9 from Telegram user @ Jolaine #FM Team

How resistant is Blank Wallet to data analysis such as Chain analysis that continually does a deep analysis of the blockchain?

Aleksandras G.:
That’s exactly one of the reasons why we came up with Blank! To prevent chain analytics. Blank’s smart contract greatly reduces the odds of on-chain analytics if certain steps are taken (ie, delayed time between deposit and withdrawal, etc.)

Q10 from Telegram user @ Khalee

How will Blank Wallet incentivize users who want to refer new users? Are there any rewards for newly registered users?

Iman:
As you can check on our Roadmap, we are planning to integrate a referral system! You can read the details of it here:
