For good reason. And it doesn't mean the value of the currency declines. Quite the opposite - these are measures to reduce MN operating expenses, and slow inflation.

Sparks Premier Partnership

We’re excited to announce another premier partnership for Beam today! Sparks coin will be leveraging Beam as their official rewards platform. As a premier partner, we’ve enabled all the features Beam has to offer, unlocking an immense amount of value for their community and for all Beam investors.

– Sparks will be running a 4-week airdrop rewards campaign starting the week of Feb 17th.
– A new Sparks web wallet has been deployed for all registered Beam users.
– Our payment gateway for Beam now includes an option to pay in their currency, the SPK.
– Integration for the Sparks blockchain now allows any investor holding SPK to register their assets on Beam to join our leaderboard and be eligible for all investor rewards.

We’ll be doing a deeper dive with their project lead on our next podcast episode to learn the story behind Sparks. Their development team has a lot in store for us including an innovative new class of masternodes called “Guardians” that provide payment services to platforms like their in-house trading bot. Sounds VERY exciting.

This marks another milestone for the Beam platform and provides further validation of the value of our content, engagement and tools.

If you know other projects that would be interested in a premier partnership opportunity, pls have them reach out to us via DM and we’ll be happy to review our offerings.

Now is a great time to move into a position with Graphcoin. Graphcoin Labs has just launched the full production version of their rewards platform https://beam.works and will be leveraging Graphcoin for its advertising and rewards operations.

We agree with you on this point.  Our whitepaper will be published to our new website tonight.  The paper outlines the "how" and "what" of our vision statement.  Thanks for your post!

This is an upgrade and fork from the original Graphcoin.  We've re-launched with completely new core technology, branding/marketing and a whitepaper to be released today.  Looking forward to your feedback!

Our launch sale is LIVE on Crypto-Bridge!!

Happy to respond to your valid questions.

Q.  A presale of 12 MNs for an average price of 1.5BTC each?
A.  We're looking for long-term investors who are willing to commit to a project we believe has a bright future.  The masternode commitment is substantial enough to align interests between the investors and the users of the network.  We've divided the block reward between MN's and staking to allow for access to ownership at whichever level you can afford.  We're using almost all the launch sale proceeds to fund the remaining roadmap items for this quarter and get a jump on next quarter's roadmap.

Q.  Premine 5M coins?
A.  This is also related to the long term vision we have for the project.  By creating a healthy foundation endowment, we can recruit talent at the highest level with fair compensation.  We are providing transparency for the premine in our block explorer.

Concern:  "I've seen them ban people for asking questions they have no answer for."
Response:  If there are any questions we have not addressed which you think are within our #rules please bring them to our attention here.  And if you believe our rules need to be reconsidered, also please bring those concerns to our attention.

We always welcome constructive guidance, asking about our pricing and pre-mine is your responsibility as a member of a decentralized community.  

I encourage everyone to do the same.

You can stake any amount.  Coins take 24 hours to mature before staking.

Thank you for the kind words!!!

Thx for the great questions!  There is no PoW, it's Proof-of-Stake only.  The block rewards are split between staking and MN's.  We are not doing the ERC-20 ICO, and instead are doing an on-exchange launch with CryptoBridge selling two waves of masternode collateral to fund raise for our development road map.  A whitepaper will likely come after the exchange launch, but we don't have a definitive time commitment on that.

Thank you!  And pls let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you Greg!

We're a Proof-of-stake only coin.  Thanks for stopping by!
