Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
Can you please post the total number of tokens today? Thanks
It already says what the supplies are (250,000,000 for ICO total. Unsold tokens will be burned. 500,000,000 is the max first year supply of ALIS tokens) on the post but I will edit it to make the font larger.
Thank you for your interest.
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
Any update on listing on exchanges?
Currently, ALIS is listed on CoinExchange and EtherDelta. However, we did not approach those exchanges to have our coin listed there. They did that of their own volition.
We are approaching other exchanges with higher volumes on our own. We will announce it when those listings are formalized.
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
ALIS Team,
You guys are unprofessional. The ICO is over for almost 3 days and not a single announcement on this thread.
This itself shows your attitude towards investors.

The ICO dates were on the initial post and now the post has been updated. We are sorry you feel that this slight delay is indicative of a lack of professionalism.
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
Hello, how much money in USD already been raised? Good decision to burn unsold tokens.
As of today - 9/23/2017, ALIS has raised ~12,660 ETH, which is currently valued at a little over $3.5 million, given ETH's current trading price of ~@279
You can follow along with how much has been raised so far on ALIS' website - https://alismedia.jp/
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
what is the total number of the ALIS token?
The total number of ALIS tokens available during the ICO is 250,000,000 - half of the total supply of 500,000,000
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
Looks like a great project. What time (gmt) does the ico open on 1st September?
The token sale will start at 4am GMT tomorrow (9/1) - there is also a live countdown on their website - https://alismedia.jp/
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
You will open ICO 2 times for same project that is insane so what future will of the current one fundraising campaign. You have to come with solid mind to decide first what you want to do with this business I think this kind of decision will create confusion for people.
[/quote]
The only ICO that is guaranteed to happen is the one that begins in ~10hrs, on Ethereum, using ETH. The NEO partnership will hopefully bear out but at this point nothing is set in stone. Going public with the partnership with NEO before anything had been finalized was perhaps confusing for people. For that we are sorry.
Hope that helps to clear up some stuff!
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
how about bounty campaign. are you not putting that into consideration. the site load really fast, website navigation is seamless and i like the translation plugin that you added. I will love if you can create telegram page for this ICO. also it will be great if you can consider some accepted token like Waves and Dash. not just only ETH. Also i see from your twitter handle you tweet most time in japanese. I will like you to consider using English also. I wish you best of luck
There is no bounty campaign. The twitter account is run by the development team, who are all Japanese, and not surprisingly mostly communicate in Japanese. They have reproduced most-if-not-all of their Medium posts in English, however, as well as having the Whitepaper in English.
The ALIS team is currently in talks with the NEO team about potentially doing an ICO on NEO at a later date. However, currently they are focused on their ETH ICO that starts on 9/1. Once that is completed, a secondary ICO on NEO may occur.
Hope that helps clear some stuff up!
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
There doesn't seem to be too much interest here.. I wonder why.
I like the idea of the project and although it's just aimed at Japan, I can see the value of the ICO as they are raising "only" $3.5m.
Why do you think there is not that much interest in the topic, Alis team?

I would say that there is overall interest - just that it has not manifested itself here specifically, or on the main English-language cryptocurrency areas of the Internet. That's probably because it's a Japanese project so the initial interest has heavily leaned towards the East Asia region.
But in just a few short weeks their Slack has grown from less than 300 people to over 1,000 - and the team has meaningfully engaged with Japanese and regional media outlets to promote their upcoming ICO. If you can read Japanese their twitter handle - @ALIS_media has linked many of the recent articles/interviews.
Forum posts, like the one here or at cryptocurrency talk, or elsewhere, have been effective in their own way - but when a team's native language is not English, there is necessarily going to be some initial sluggishness in getting the message out beyond their native lingual sphere.
Hope that helps to clarify some things!
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
So a social media for japanese, did this means that this coins will only available for Japan region? Since as far as I know that Japan always has their region only social media that are not available in another country.
The ALIS tokens will be available to purchase or trade outside of Japan. If you are a resident of the State of New York, you cannot participate in the ICO on 9/1. However, everywhere else in the world (as far as I am aware) can participate. The ALIS tokens will be listed on Bittrex, Kraken, and JP Exchange initially (the team is currently communicating with those exchanges so that it can be listed shortly after the ICO completes) - so they should be easy to trade whether an investor is in North America, Europe, or Asia.
But your second point, regarding region-only social media in East Asia, is one of the contextual market variables that (I think) will meaningfully contribute to ALIS' ultimate success.
Hope that helps clear some things up!
Re: [ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
We believe that the differences between our model and Steemit's model are substantive and important, even though both models support the notion that social media network's can benefit from direct incentives towards certain behaviors.
Some of the differences between ALIS and Steemit include: ALIS' 1 currency vs. Steemit's 3, ALIS' reward structure values the first people to like/share a post that ends up being very popular much moreso than Steemit's. The ALIS token is more effective on our network the longer the user has held it (to help prevent people from loading up on ALIS tokens to do astro-turf marketing). On ALIS one's overall activity contributes to creating a User Reliability Score that other users can look to and see who is regularly posting interesting, reliable, accurate and authentic content. ALIS also has a system that rewards interactions with multiple users over repeated interactions with the same user, to also help prevent gaming the system on the one hand, and to help encourage more diverse interactions on the network on the other hand.
Social media networks that aren't a good cultural fit for Japan tend to not work out. Currently, Japan has the highest saturation of social media users (over 90%) in the first world, but less than 30% of them use Facebook, because Facebook's model doesn't properly fit the Japanese culture. Most Japanese currently use Twitter (~70%), because 140 characters goes much farther with the Japanese language. Simply adding Japanese language support doesn't guarantee that a product will be successful in the Japanese market.
Japan has a very specific culture and very specific desires when it comes to things like social media, advertising, marketing, authenticity and accuracy. Our opinion is that ALIS addresses those concerns directly, effectively, and in a way that will be easy-to-understand and use for the average Japanese consumer, in no small part because the team is Japanese, experienced in creating social media products for the Japanese market, and familiar with effective ways to draw in the Japanese user.
Thank you for your time and consideration

[ANN] [ICO September 1] ALIS - Japanese Social Media Network
EDIT: I DID NOT REALIZE NEW ACCOUNTS COULDN'T POST IMAGES. THE IMAGES ARE VARIOUS INFOGRAPHICS FOR ALIS
Introducing ALIS - Japan's First Social Media Platform Using Blockchain Technology
Website | Twitter | Slack | Whitepaper | FAQ
ICO 9/1 - 9/29 - NOW COMPLETE!
THE ICO IS COMPLETE! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!
ALIS is Japan's first social media platform that directly incentivizes content curation and content deployment while utilizing trust, both in articles and individuals. ALIS incentivizes this behavior (detailed in the Whitepaper linked below) in an easy-to-understand way.
Japan has a highly interconnected culture that is difficult to commercially penetrate. Japan has seen a 130% market growth for social media since 2014, and is also home to the highest volume of Bitcoin transactions in the world, making it an ideal market for a social network like ALIS. Japan is also a unique market, and requires specific solutions to its social media needs. ALIS aims to address those needs.
While the ALIS team was inspired by some elements of STEEM - ALIS is not a clone and is fundamentally different. These are detailed in two Medium posts. Part 1 and Part 2

ALIS rewards both the poster and the first few people to notice and evaluate the content, this will help create a situation where the best iteration of a given piece of content rises to surface, and raises the user who posted it's User Reliability Score, while also rewarding those first few to discover the content and who help raise its visibility.
To help mitigate the possibilities for brigading as well as astro-turf campaigns, ALIS will value interactions in part by how long the interacting parties have individually held ALIS tokens
ALIS seeks to utilize the best of social networking - sharing content across diverse groups of people, rewarding interactions with more people above multiple interactions with the same person.
ADDITIONAL IMAGE SHOWING THE ALIS TOKEN BUSINESS MODEL
>>>>http://imgur.com/a/098YP<<<<
ALIS has a three step plan for growth of the platform in Japan
Establishing market share in niche areas (cryptocurrency, blockchain, little known anime and manga, etc)
Expand to areas dominated in Japan by word-of-mouth and other reputation websites (restaurants, travel, diet, life events such as school admission, marriage, and purchase of homes)
Based on accumulated trust and a growing user base, begin expanding out into more diverse markets. Deploy new services targeted at those markets and continuing to leverage ALIS' unique system of encouraging authenticity and accuracy.
