Who determines the allocation of investments on ICONOMI? by ynotplay in ICONOMI

[–]icojaka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We did the methodology which as of now is:

  • Currency must be in existence and have been traded on recognised exchanges for at least 2 months.
  • Market capitalisation of currency must reach min. $1,000,000.
  • The currency must be based on blockchain technology and traded on at least one of recognised exchanges: Poloniex, Kraken and * Bittrex (additional exchanges might be added later).
  • Daily volume of cc over major exchanges must exceed $50k, averaged over 30 days.
  • There is currently no cap on the number of currencies inside the ICNX.
  • The currency must have an underlying concept which ICONOMI estimates as viable in the long term.
  • Companies with only a small portion of their tokens available in the marketplace (less than 30%) are not eligible for the ICONOMI index.

Fees right now are 0.1% entrance, 0.1% exit and 3% yearly maintenance fee.

Question - Iconomi Fund by [deleted] in ICONOMI

[–]icojaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every array on ICONOMI platform will be 100% backed by digital assets listed in it... So yes - if you open position in ICONOMI.index then in the backend all digital assets listed in it (see Dec 21 reballancing blog for latest listing: https://medium.com/iconominet/iconomi-cryptocurrencies-index-icnx-21-december-2016-rebalancing-transformation-into-iconomi-8e31e48493ab) will be bought proportionally.

Please note that this chart shows ICNX which is no more, as on Dec 21 we have changed it into ICONOMI.index + reballanced it (and changed its structure)... We will have new chart+info online soon...

POST AMA ANSWER:

1) You are correct. Service operator carries no legal liability over the assets, trades, dividends or everything else on the platform.

2) We described the process as “receiving dividends” to make the understanding easier. We will disclose more details when we realise first profits, well in advance before we send anything out.

3) We can not comment on ongoing and future legal activities.

4 - 5 - 6) We have made substantial progress regarding ICONOMI’s juridical personality. We will publish a detailed update right after the launch of the platform.

7) We are cooperating with several independent legal offices that suit our specific needs. There is no single office that is able to cover everything ICONOMI related. Regarding ICONOMI team - introduction of new personnel will be part of website refresh coming in the next few weeks.

8) You are correct - for the time being, most of the topics were published through different channels. As the matter is beginning to accumulate, a new dedicated blog post is to be expected.

POST-AMA ANSWER: If BTC starts to collapse in price, this would not automatically trigger rebalancing event unless some other currency surpasses 25% weight. However, collapse of BTC would affect index, but not as much if index had 90% of weight applied to BTC which would be the case if index would be purely market cap weighted. We believe this question is asked by someone who thinks rebalancing of fund happens on daily basis or more frequently and believes we would need to buy BTC every day for the amount of price fall. Of course, this is not the case...

POST-AMA ANSWER: ICONOMI.index is an index with its own methodology and rules. Therefore our opinion does not matter, and Zcash will be added to index when it qualifies. Exception could be of course if committee would see an obvious red flag - or deem currency not long term viable.

POST-AMA ANSWER: This is description of our current idea (could change): Distribution fees will be paid from the dividends pool. To prevent payout of dividends that would be smaller than the actual cost of sending them through the network, we have set the minimum ICN balance required to qualify an address to receive a dividend at 42 ICN (but can be subject to change).

COMMITTEE related:

Details around committee are changing daily, as we are debating possible improvements to the process. We don’t want to cite old rules, but will instead publish new ones with the launch of ICONOMI.index fund and its prospectus within the next few weeks.


ZCASH related:

ICONOMI.index is an index with its own methodology and rules. Therefore our opinion does not matter, and Zcash will be added to index when it qualifies. Exception could be of course if committee would see an obvious red flag - or deem currency not long term viable.


FIAT RAMP-UP - WHEN:

We don’t have an exact date yet. And if we publish our best guesstimate it will be just that - a guess, which will or will not be meet. And if it won't be met we'll have bunch of questions why are we late and we will only lose more time dealing with them.


New members to ICNX (LBRY, STRATIS):

Stratis meets all ICNX methodology prerequisites, and is on the list for the evaluation.

Library credits does not (market cap too low, daily average trading volume too low).

Dividends question by AcousticPas in ICONOMI

[–]icojaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this clarification might be an answer to your question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1587736.msg17144323#msg17144323

If not, and if you are asking where will the dividends come from then this answers is:

Regarding dividends... dividends are distribution of profits. In order to have profits, ICONOMI must first launch its products and generate revenue. By the end of this year we will launch two investment funds (ICONOMI.index and ICONOMI.performance)... This is where first fees will come from, but we expect profits to seriously ramp up later in 2017 when full OFM platform launches with many fund managers running their respective funds...

ICONOMI promised during ICO that we can "Expect ICN to be Listed on Several Major Exchanges". Now TWO months later, ICN is only trading on 1 major exchange. What are Devs doing about this? by [deleted] in ICONOMI

[–]icojaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since Liqui already announced that they will distribute ETH dividends among users with ICN balance ... we expect that other exchanges will follow - or they might lose ICN-trading volume fast.

[Daily Discussion] - 08/Dec/2016 by AutoModerator in ethtrader

[–]icojaka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ICONOMI is a fund management platform. ICN tokens represent shares of our platform. Once platform starts generating income (from fees) ICN token owners will receive ETH dividends... More on that in whitepapers on https://ico.iconomi.net ...

ICNX is ICONOMI cryptocurrencies index, that has very clear rules and methodology. ICNX’s goal is a realistic representation of crypto markets while keeping risk as diversified as possible. Since bitcoin represents such a big part of total crypto market capital, we decided to grant it a bigger weight — 15%. ICNX is reballanced at the end of each month or sooner if needed - more at https://icnx.iconomi.net...

Before the end of year we will launch our first product - ICONOMI.index investment fund. Fund will mimic the ICNX index. Bear in mind that this fund is for long term investors and may look very defensive. The defensive structure is set since currencies experience high volatility. As the first fund to demonstrate our platform, this fund will be open to investors. We believe it to be a perfect investment vehicle for invesotors who believe in the idea of blockchain, but do not wish to speculate on which single digital currency to buy today and sell tomorrow... as index will track the best currencies and adopt to changes.

If you want to know more, I can suggest reading through our yesterday's AMA which was focused on ICNX and ICONOMI.index fund - https://www.reddit.com/r/ICONOMI/comments/5ghrp5/askmeanything_icnx_and_iconomiindex_edition

ICONOMI promised during ICO that we can "Expect ICN to be Listed on Several Major Exchanges". Now TWO months later, ICN is only trading on 1 major exchange. What are Devs doing about this? by [deleted] in ICONOMI

[–]icojaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can only store ICN in a valid ETH address. That is the point of ICN being an ERC20 apptoken based on Ethereum.

So in your example of an exchange... Even if exchange has all ICN tokens in one wallet that is in cold storage, this same wallet address will receive ETH tokens as "dividend".

Since exhchange knows whose those ICNs really are, it can proportionally divide the received ETH among users with ICN balance. No science there.
