Thanks for the questions, appreciated!

Well, one of users Kostya put it very nicely on Monaco Slack channel:

My money is on the second.

Edit: Oh and TKN said they would not be able to service the US or Indian market initially. Will the Monaco card have the same initial restrictions?

We are going to do KYC on 100% of our customers. We are building a real alternative to banks and the focus from business standpoint is on customers who already have a bank account. We are not going to be present in US & India in the beginning, but our vision is to make Monaco a global brand. It will require time, effort and capital, as in many cases it means setting up local operations, getting local e-money licenses and finding additional Visa or MasterCard issuing partners.

Thanks for the reply. It seems there are similar restrictions governing both projects.

In your whitepaper, your App Go Live date is Aug 31st. What will that entail, do you have a more detailed roadmap I might have missed? (By comparison, TKN aims to release an MVP and an initial card batch in September and version 1 about 4 months later.)

Given TKN's poor post ICO performance and that you have an additional 7 day period if the soft cap is reached, I think you're likely to raise considerably less which may be a competitive disadvantage unless of course you're able to get some pre-commitments from larger exchanges to list/trade your token, which is unlikely, but good luck.
