What benefits will I get if I buy the tokens from the start of the sales?

Our pre-sale tokens are available at a 50% discount this has lead to quite high demand so the getting your tokens at the start of the sale means you won't miss out!

Democratizing access to funding, this is a very promising target, of course with very good planning.Looks promosing of this KICKSTARTER project where do you have a plan to put on exchanges after the ico is done?

We're currently engaged in a conversations with a number of exchanges but as we won't be listing till after our ICO these are still at early stages so we can't announce anything just yet.

Acorn collective has good activity in telegram chat. There is about 1,6 k people of potential investors. I take a lot of info from there. Also less than three days left before pre-sale starts, so how many people already in whitelist?

Hi BennieMan we're up to 1.9K now! The whitelist is up to 6.5k which is great news for our pre-sale

You got nice ranking guys by icobench, this is very respected source of ICOs evaluation, but I wonder why they estimated you product with 3.4 while you have mvp? that is really strange.

Our MVP development is still in very early stages so this score is quite a fair reflection

Aside from the fact that our platform is completely free, available in any un sanctioned country and accepting or nearly any legal project we also have project backer insurance, the Acorn Marketplace, our project incentive fund to match the raises of early users of our platform and our affiliate rewards system to set us apart from exsiting platforms.

Also while I can understand that some people may view free access and openness as a bad thing the entrepreneurs in countries that are currently ignored or who's projects aren't "cool" enough for existing platforms certainly don't!

Is this mean that for example Iran or Russia could not start projects on your platform? What sanctions do you have in mind? If you plan to translate on other languages how to check can I start or not?

As we are registered in Gibraltar which is part of the EU we must abide by EU laws in regards to to which countries we can do business in. There are numerous bans and restrictions on countries such as North Korea, Syria and and Iran which make it difficult for any organsation to to business there. These are the sanctions we refer to.

We want to reward and encourage early adopters. A Project Incentive Fund provides generous incentives for people to use our platform.

Please tell us in more detail about what generous incentives and encouragements are written on your website? For what actions can I receive reward?

There are a few incentives in place for our early platform project founders:
1. Match funding 1:1 (up to a certain figure), to double the funding for each project.
2. Provide an initial percentage of the intended raise below the minimum funding
threshold (e.g. 20-50%).
3. Provide generous startup funding to attract serious project founders, but in exchange
for equity. Startup funding can only take place if done alongside a crowdfunding
campaign on our platform and will be at our discretion.

For the platform to achieve the global reach we aspire to, we also need to
incentivize backers who are new to digital currency into the OAK token.
1. Our mechanism for this is simple and direct. We intend to provide starting bonus
OAK to early backers for them to spend on further projects, essentially allowing
them to back projects and receive rewards for free.
2. We intend to incentivize referrals in a similar way, by rewarding those who successfully
recruit new users into our ecosystem, as part of our Affiliate Rewards system.

not many countries are under sanctions. And it largely depends on who imposes sanctions - UN, EU, America, Canada, Russia ? I guess it depends on the place of legal registration of the project. Any project, not only Acorn, is obliged to follow the rules and the sanctions to the country , which is the place where he pays taxes.

Will the project have a serious "know your customer"? Do they work with an external provider of identification verification?

We are partnering with Identity Mind for our KYC procedures.

Cryptobudgie, please tell where in this scheme investors of crowdfunding projects?
Do I understand correctly from WP that will be invest can only holders of OAK-tokens?

If you look in the top right of the diagram you will see the project investors referred to as backers. You are correct projects can only be backed with OAK tokens.

That is, if I don't have OAK-tokens, then I can't invest in any project on Acorn platform?

Correct, you can only back projects with OAK tokens.

I understood it the same way, but on the other hand it will lead into increase of token liquidity to my mind, am I right devs? Or what are the other reasons also?

Correct consigliere!
