Hi Peter,
I am willing to invest into your coin, it seems good (well, I don't like much of your servers doing the hard-work of keeping terabytes of private information, buy anyway, still, the whole concept is nice)
I have a question: Why the numbers is not matching on sites below?
http://authorship.com/contribute/ - 572 investors and a total of 471,660 USD who already paid for this ICO
https://etherscan.io/address/0x3aae4da9A22d518996031791D3Bd61f45DEf6aC7 - 93 transactions (which means, a maximum of 93 investors) and a total of $39,987.43 USD.
Why these numbers of investor and total amount are different?
Thank you!
Thank you for your message.
Unfortunately, there would be no way to host the book files in the blockchain due to the total size. Also, I wouldn't call "private information" things like the book file or cover images as they are meant to be actually shared to readers. But I understand your point.
Regarding the numbers, we also receive contributions through credit card and wire transfers, as mentioned on our website. 9 out of 10 people contacting us to invest are rather new to crypto currencies (we have a large number of authors following us and also several high profile investors) and they prefer/have no alternative to buy ETH (given that in order to buy ETH you'd have to signup with an exchange, then wait for quite a lot of time to get your account verified). Rest assured, we will be providing digitally signed statements, for complete transparency.
Sincerely,
Peter
