Industrial & Technical questions:
Q: (a) How WTC is planning to sustain its first mover advantage?
(b) Was it not the case that WTC had patents & a working product before ICO, if so, what are the potential demonstrations of the technology that we might see in the coming weeks?
(c) From a blockchain perspective, what is the current benefit WTC’s technology provides to distribution, as opposed to before implementation?
A: We have finished the development of our RFID system in which the demo has been implemented into clothing enterprises such as Kaltendin. In the near future, our technology will be applied to retail, logistics, supply chain management, agriculture and so on.
We have submitted 7 patents before ICO, including two international patents. We are also applying for 6 more patents at the moment.
From the blockchain perspective, the development of the sub-chains will contribute to the WTC’s parent chain value increase.
Company strategy questions:

A: Our goal is to have Masternode rewards available in Q1 2018.
Q: Will these subchains hold ICOs?
A: Some of the subchains will hold ICOs, but not all of them. More information will be released as this information becomes available.
Q: Do you expect the 1st year rewards for a Waltonchain Masternode to outperform the 1st year rewards of a Dash Masternode?
A: Waltonchain will always be worth investing in, even after the first year. We will design and calculate our reward algorithm carefully as to not disappoint people.
Our GMNs play an important role in supporting the safe operation of the parent chain. We will have a certain amount of rewards, accordingly. It will be not less than Dash’s first year Masternodes rewards.
Q: Is there a way to share some of the code publicly on Github at this time? It holds back many investors.
