This is interesting but I think you could do a better job explaining it. For instance, NOS is a utility token.

It gives a 50% discount on conversion from/to USD/Nollar??

Looks like this is the case. I think the fee falls from 0.9% to 0.45% but this is only for 12 months (not clear when the 12 months starts) Then for the next 12 months, they say: "Adjusted at market development" whatever that is supposed to mean. No indication beyond 24 months, perhaps they haven't decided. Really I would like clarity on things like this before even considering investment.

How does that work, is it 1 token per 50% discount? So if I want to convert 10 Nollars to USD I need 10 NOS to get 50% discount n the fees.

According to the white paper:

If the NOS token is publicly traded at 1USD, you will be able to cash-out 200 USD from NOLLAR to USD paying with 1 NOS token

This is a bit more clear except we still don't know what to expect if the NOS token is only say 1 US cent or if it is 5 USD, is it a direct linear scale?

If NOS is worth only 1 US cent, does that mean the you can only convert 2 NOLLAR to USD per NOS?
 
What are the fees and how are they regulated and who decides this?

Main fees seem to be 0.9% of NOLLAR value when converting from NOLLAR to real USD. So 100 NOLLAR would cost 90 US cents so you would receive USD 99.10. With the discount, it would go down to 45 US cents for the fee. There is also unspecified fees for exchange and kyc and a few other things but no clarity of what they will be.

Where can I buy NOS? How much are they currently costing? Can they even be traded?

bruges is saying they can be brought from the team. No sure I would be happy doing that until I saw a lot more evidence that this is even going to happen. This has a horrible smell of ICO to it and we all know how reliable those are...

No exchanges as of yet either. Then again, is the tech even in place for the exchanges to happen.

How many NOS are there going to be at maximum?

Clear definitive answer here, 1 billion.

Are you planning to burn them as part of the fees, I think I saw something like 20% of NOS will be burnt with each transaction?

The white paper says 20% of used ones will be burnt and the remaining 80% will be distributed to the community and partnerships. Great, but what does the second part mean in practice? How are they going to distribute them to the community and what partnerships are they talking about?

How will that help since they will only ever have vale of 50% of current fee?

I can only speculate the the other 50+% goes to the bank and or devs, it is pretty unclear.

Maker have a new tech about to arrive that will allow ~500 transactions for 1 us cent making feeless seem less of an attraction with the conversion to/from USD costs of this coin.

White paper doesn't even try address this, actually is seems to make an effort to distort reality which doesn't really help it's credibility. They need to focus on their strengths and not make up stuff that is verify ably untrue.


This all sounds good in principal but seems to be full of holes. This causes lots of red flags to go off for me.

After further investigation, the lack of clear cut answers and analysis of the white paper, I think I will put this on hold to wait and see. I am not yet convinced that this is not a scam or just very poorly thought out. It certainly has the potential to be really great but there seems to me much more to it than it seems and the fact that Nano has no native support for smart contracts means that they have probably got a lot of work ahead of them if they are going to make it work.

So I wish you well but for now I recommend HOLD.

Please set me straight.
