Updates as of Aug 18, 2017

Hello again everyone and good afternoon. A few days ago I made an announcement regarding Vapor (and Abono's) progress. In around 3 weeks, we attained what most app development teams could accomplish in around 3 months, however, we are burning through our measly funds quite quickly and need to start raising some immediately.

Expenses:

• Github Private Repo
• 2 Shared Development Servers
• 1 Dedicated Server
• UI/UX Design
• Licensing
• Tax

Roadmap:

• [✔] Develop API Back-end
• [✔] Develop Front End
• [✔] Develop App Backend
• [✔] Develop SteemPay-esque API (Still in performance testing)
• [✔] Vapor Logo
• [✔] Establish Talks with Payment Processors in the Philippines
• [ ] ABONO Token Presale | We're Here!
• [ ] Abono Whale Bot
• [ ] Abono Logo
• [ ] Landing Page
• [ ] Initial Coin Offering
• [ ] Vapor Shops
• [ ] Vapor Blogs
• [ ] Abono Wallet and POS
• [ ] Vapor and Abono Integration

We are currently a team of 2, me included. I originally authored the back-end of Vapor, however focusing on the business development, PR and pretty much management of the team-to-be, I am officially making @bluemux the CTO of Vapor.

Crowdfund Vapor and Abono

First of all we'd like to thank @officialfuzzy and the Whaleshares and BeyondBitcoin initative for funding us to get this far in the first place. With them, we have been able to speed up development and get input and move straight toward optimizing the user experience for you, our future users. For technical details, please contact me personally!

Details:

For the ABONO Pre-sale, We'll using the Bitshares DEX to sell 1,000,000 ABONO Tokens @ 0.3 BTS/ea for hopefully around $ 45,000 to start hiring people for the core development team and incorporating in the Philippines

For the ABONO ICO, We'll be raising money through an Ethereum ERC20 Token, which will be burnable in exchange for a Bitshares UIA called ABONO. Pre-sale participants need not burn any token, the token that you use will be the token that the Abono application will be using as rewards tokens.

Our minimum goal of $300,000 will bring us closer to making an enterprise-class and secure application that can be used by the masses around the world.

Team

I am @emerge, and I am from the Philippines. I have a background in entrepreneurship and a bit of programming. I try my best to be able to do as much as I can, diversify and be self-sufficient as possible. In the bits that I am lacking, I do not shy away from asking for help. Starting today, I'll be working full time on managing future team-members, communities, growth-hacking and public relations.

@bluemux is from Brisbane, Australia and refuses to be identified here until we can afford to pay him so he can pay taxes. We've known each other for around 6 years now. He'll be working on the app's front-end

Howie Ross Valino is not part of our development team, but he will be joining us during the ICO as a representative for investors from outside of the cryptocurrency space and as our mentor, advisor and business developer post ICO.
