Hi Luca,



Thank you again for your feedback. I thought my comment could be useful to those people who are interested in TokenStars, so I decided to post it here again, just to make sure the most accurate and up-to-date information is provided at everyone's disposal.



1. We do not offer as huge as 60% or even bigger discount to anyone. It is true that we do offer bonuses that can be applied to TEAM token purchases depending on the amount of contributions and when they are made. These are not discounts. In fact, a discount for the biggest whales does not exceed 35% and decreases gradually, which actually corresponds to the market standard.



By the way, here's the correct final schedule of the TEAM token sale with time-specific bonuses and minimum purchase limits:



Tier 1: December 20, 2017 – January 10, 2018. Min. 1,000 TEAM tokens (0.1 BTC). Bonus 40%.

Tier 2: January 10 - 20, 2018. Min. 1,000 TEAM tokens (0.1 BTC). Bonus 30%.

Tier 3: January 20 - 31, 2018. Min. 100 TEAM tokens (0.01 BTC). Bonus 15%.

Tier 4: January 31 - February 10, 2018. Min. 100 TEAM tokens (0.01 BTC). Bonus 10%.

Tier 5: February 10-28, 2018. Min. 100 TEAM tokens (0.01 BTC). No bonus.



Volume bonuses:

1-3 BTC +5%

3-5 BTC +10%

> 5 BTC +20%



2. Regarding our vision, I would like to stress that TokenStars is based on a proven TMA (talent management agency) business model. We have started with tennis and successfully completed the ACE token sale in October 2017 https://medium.com/@TokenStars/https-medium-com-tokenstars-join-the-team-10-news-from-tokenstars-98464eb711ed, signed the first contract with a PRO tennis player - Veronika Kudermetova, winner of 21 international tournaments (No. 58 in WTA ranking in doubles), launched the marketing project with Ekaterina Makarova (Olympic Gold medalist in Rio-2016; the winner of Wimbledon, US Open and Roland Garros; No. 33 in WTA singles / No. 3 in doubles).



We believe that large audiences will gather around stars and opinion leaders. Lothar Matthäus, Gianluca Zambrotta, Valery Karpin (football), Tommy Haas, Robin Söderling, Cedric Pioline, Anastasia Myskina (tennis), Nikita Kucherov (hockey), Alexander Anter (poker) and Rico Torres (Hollywood) already are among the worldwide famous celebrities supporting us as our Ambassadors https://tokenstars.com/team#ambassadors. In fact, it is already happening.



3. As far as our product is concerned, the TokenStars platform is already working on the Ethereum blockchain. The first module was launched in December 2017, powering the Crypto Xmas Charity Auction https://tokenstars.com/charity/ to which many worldwide famous celebrities donated their personal items with signatures. More modules are coming very soon, already in Q1 2018. Our elaborate white paper contains a detailed description of the TokenStars platform technological stack along with our roadmap and further important information: https://tokenstars.com/upload/files/team_whitepaper.pdf.



As you can see, we are working hard to make TokenStars a success, and we are moving fast. I am glad we have such an experienced team with background at Groupon, Leo Burnett, Evernote, Rambler&Co and Mail.Ru Group, supported by blockchain advisors Tomoaki Sato (Starbase), Wulf Kaal (University of St. Thomas), Edgar Kampers (Qoin) and Nicolay Danilov (Decentralized Systems), as well as by famous celebrities I mentioned above. We all believe in this project and will keep doing our best to fulfil the idea of the first celebrity management platform on the blockchain.
