It's roughly like the case of eos with wombat (wombat allows free eos address creation)? And about the USDC, one question that crossed my mind when reading this was the "trading fee". As withdraw-er basically trade their ANSR to USDC (though backended), will they receive the USDC in full amount or will there be a tx fee for converting them?
And sorry about the confusion, I was not referring to your... website (?) or other media of yours, I was referring to my posting format. I forgot to delete one bbcode when I snipped our conversation, resulting a rather untidy looks because my post were mixed up with the quoted post.
Stellar wallet creation isn't free. You need to activate the wallet by deposition 1 XLM. In addition the wallet creators also need to issue trustlines for another 0.5 XLM. So, this alone is enough to stop any sort of spam up to some extent. Then comes the SMS verification that would eliminate those who somehow managed to bypass the first hurdle. Then we have Lobstr that would look out for any further spam. Oh btw, we're just assuming that the user found some trick (that we're or will always be unaware of) that would allow him to have multiple accounts without spending any more than $10 (or else, he would have bought the Pro-membership).
Last big challenge, the user still needs to post original and HQ answers on all accounts (or there's no use of having multiple accounts). If he's trying to post copied or low-effort content, it will never get selected as the "best answer" because we've built developed smart algorithms to combat that.
This is too much of an effort + costly to make any sort of sense. If let's say, the user finds any way of gaming this, how long do you think it would really last for him? We're actively developing the platform...
Auto-trade fees? ANSR -> USDC Nope! All trades will be executed on Stellar dex. It's feeless. They even refund back the transaction fee. Like I mentioned before, so far we've spent a little more than 2 years on this project and we've calculated everything very carefully. When we started building, this platform was supposed to use the Ethereum blockchain but after planning everything according to our requirements, Stellar seemed to be the best option.
Everything that I'm discussing here is already mentioned in our Whitepaper or our Blog.
I'm not sure if this is your usual way of questioning, but it seems like you feel challenged to somehow degrade our efforts. We've not here for an ICO or IEO, nor we have any sort of plans to go that route. Answerly is fully self-funded to this point and will remain that way. If you think that Answerly is worth trying or checking out, you're welcome.
I see some differences of Answerly in comparison with other platforms. For example users have an opportunity to make money by posting content without the need of focusing on increasing their fan following or the age of their accoun. I think it is good

No, we don't give bounties for copying stuff from our whitepaper and posting it here, so stop.
