We launched today with XAP coin and would like to share with you the live broadcast we made yesterday to help answer questions about the project API Network and what XAP coin is

We are now live!! Bitcoin has starting coming in and we appreciate the support from the community

Theres a lot of feedback here, and I'd like to bring this thread back to the Swarm project.
After working within the Bitcoin 2.0 space and watching what projects are evolving, Swarm can be a platform to embrace many of these protocols - not just CounterParty.

The VEND model that is proposed by Swarm is the answer to many of the challenges faced by new coin launches, we are working with several projects that are evaluating Swarm for coins that are centered on crowdfunding initiatives - like the Tatiana Coin

different, XAP coin is using the Master Protocol from Mastercoin

whereas XCP = CounterParty, a similar protocol

We are using Counterparty for releasing SWARM coin and look to be as transparent as possible, Our supporters include people from the Ethereum project, CounterParty, and Distributed Buzz.

- please let us know if you have any questions

Hey thanks for the feedback and we certainly don't mean to ignore any questions from the community. We are projecting the revenue from interest on swarm coins to be 500 BTC, which means that through the use of Swarm coins to help projects launch the value of each swarm coin will increase as the number of startups going live on SWARM increases in value. This process will be vetted through due diligence to ensure those which fit the model of SWARM will be adding ROI to the SWARM coin holders over time.

We are having our 1st Google Hangout with the creators behind XAP coin and the API Network, the broadcast is viewable at

We are getting there...

SCENARIO ONE

We raise 1,000 BTC, majority goes to salaries.

Hey check out:

The portion of salaries allocated is for developing the business and the development team.

You are certainly reading it right, and no you don't have to be drunk to understand this:

Step 1: recover private key from blockchain.info
Step 2: make a counterwallet.co account
Step 3: "import funds" using the private key

The Swarm coins are created using CounterParty, and although it is recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain - to actually see the Swarm coins in your wallet, one must use the CounterParty wallet (I realize that this was not clear and I will include these details in the above announcement).

Once you import funds to the CounterParty wallet, this action will sweep the token balance effectively moving all Swarm coins from that address you sent BTC from into Counterparty

Please let us know if you experience any further issues

Thanks

Jason King runs Sean's Outpost, an outreach organization for the homeless. Speaking of running, Jason just completed a run across America to raise awareness of both the homeless and Bitcoin!

Join us this Monday for an evening with Jason who will share his experiences with his cross-country trek. Also, Jason is the key organizer of the Bitcoin Inside the Beltway Conference, and this meetup would be a great opportunity to find out more about the conference and sign up at a discount.

P.S. Thomas Foolery now accepts bitcoins.
