[ANN] Moonstone.io development and crowdfunder diary

[merivercap]

It seems that there is such a strong interest to donate BTS rather than BTC our crowdfunder that some people are thinking about buying MOONFUND tokens on the internal exchange straight with BTS. (See this thread https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,15663.0/topicseen.html)

We're opening therefore a poll to see whether enough people are interested in us putting a sell order of Moonstones at about 0.9-0.92 BTS on the internal exchange. This way almost everybody should be able to participate (though at a slightly lower potential return rate, as we still need to cash out to fiat for operations). We would then also need to update the funds collected on the website manually a few times a day.

Please let us know what you think, and please vote in the poll!

I think the more options the better so this is a good idea.

If he just agrees to spread it out over a longer time period than 30 days then everything is good.  I don't see why he would need to change all donations to BTC/fiat right away anyway. His costs are presumably spread out over time.

It's a pity that moonstone can't use bitUSD directly and that's why we desperately need a USD bridge like what tradebts do for bitCNY<->CNY. They need fiat for operation anyway. A USD<->bitUSD bridge will make this easier without exposure to BTC price.

How are you going to exchange to fiat?  You'll have to convert to btc then to fiat which will still drive down the price?

^^ This and voted on the poll.Obviously 'yes'  of course.

Trezor compatibility is being tested. Initial tests look promising.

If we reach our funding we'll definitely add Trezor compatibility to our milestones!

So what happens if after the moonstone wallet is released, the community doesnt vote in the proposed moonstone delegates?

Then your donation to fund a public good and hopefully make some profit as well just becomes a donation to fund a public good.

Investors like me lose our investment. You're welcome.

If kind of screenshot, or demo video is provided in pace with the launch, it would be better. People still cannot believe why Moonstone is important and how it is awesome.

Great Idea clayop!

I think a row of videos and giving more visual importance to the potential 15% return might be super important.

Anything else we should add or change?

^ This.  No offence, but at this point there's no actual video showing anything that works (as far as I know), and no publicly accessible source code.  The more you can show people to convince them it isn't vaporware, the more comfortable they'll be contributing.

Have you seen this video ?

No, I had not, thank you.
