Hi all,

BOAT still sailing along nicely, but worried about sinking when nova shuts down. Cryptopia would be the best fit, as others have commented - but how do we go about raising funds for listing? They're basically asking for 2.5BTC for a spot on the exchange :/

Yarrr....

Hey dev,

Couldn't you sell some of the Boat premined coins to at least raise some of the funds for a Cryptopia listing? Then maybe the community could contribute the rest of the funds for it to happen. I thought that was the whole idea of the premine to help get Boat listed on Cryptopia?

This is written in the OP

Quote

Premine: 15,000,000 BOAT (3%) for the salty seadogs @ Cryptopia & novaexchange, and various giveaways. 2% already given away (as of 2/18/17)*

There is no buy wall currently, so that is no option unfortunately.

Switching to the more simplistic name Boat - BOAT is a priority.

Joining Cryptopia will create more attention and that will result in a more fair price for BOAT.

I think the 2.5BTC is far from cheap, but that investment will earn itself back for the community.

One of the obstacles is the POW difficulty. Every time the price goes up the Network GH/s goes up to 1.5GH/s,
last weekend it happened as well. The miners seem to sell it directly on the right side (buy orders) @ nova exchange.
So the price is not able to go up constructively...

If the POW would be ended an increasing BOAT will be the direct result and a more scarce currency as well.

If the Network mining speed is 1.5GH/s it results in +/- 3/4 MILLION BOAT being generated a month, with the current demand that's way too much.

But technically this could be quite complicated to adjust POW.

Somethging else, a signature will be designed this week. Grin

That will have impact and a signature campaign will follow.
I'm putting a lot of effort in BOAT to help the community.

And I've added the Twitter giveaway ending at the end of the month.

Thanks Vella for retweeting!

Yes I agree that now it might be too late to sell some of the premine for the Cryptopia listing however I think the dev should of sold some when the price of Boat was in the 100+ sats price range. I even posted in here that the dev should sell some of the premine and use that to pay for the Cryptopia listing but no reply from the dev. We hopefully when POW ends we start to get a more stable price for Boat and people would want to buy to stake.

You're welcome mate as I want to help spread the word as much as I can but I have been waiting to see which direction the coin is going in first before I really get back to promoting Boat more often like I did many months ago.
