Gate.io关于进行帽子币(TIPS)换币投票的公告

根据TIPS当前维护团队的消息，维护团队将在9月末将TIPS切换到新的区块链（新算法，新链，币总量发生变化很大，并有预挖和团队保留部分）。gate.io需要征求用户的意见, 以平台用户投票方式决定是否与开发团队进行对接换币事宜。

TIPS维护团队的换币通知：https://www.tipsco.in/#swap

TIPS的原代币总量约为5000亿（按50:1兑换后，等同于新币100亿枚），换币后的新币的总量为1000亿（按照50：1兑换，相当于原币量扩容10倍），新币当中的10%会用于以“50 旧TIPS：1 新TIPS”的比例进行换币，10%团队预挖会用于未来的发展、市场和空投，剩余的80%将会用于社区的10年挖矿。如果进行换新币后的10%没有兑换完成，将会进行销毁新币以至于达到平衡的比例。

以下几点信息请用户作为投票参考：
1，老的TIPS区块链已经接近挖矿产出枯竭，如果不进行兑换，会面临无开发团队维护和51%算力攻击的风险。
2，当前维护团队的切换方案，相当于币总量扩容10倍（按50：1兑换计算），其中10%预挖用于团队开支，10%用于换币。另外80%用于后续10年挖矿奖励保护区块链网络。

投票时间：请在2018年9月20日前填写表单进行投票，投票结果将根据用户持有TIPS数量进行加权。

投票结果处理方案：
（1）如果50%以上同意换币，gate.io将与开发团队对接换币事宜，不同意的用户将需要提现现有的TIPS资产到老钱包，换币之后将无法提现老币。
（2）如果50%以上不同意换币，那么gate.io将终止与开发团队对接，保持现有TIPS币，将不进行兑换，gate.io未来将可能停止充值以应对51%攻击。

gate.io与TIPS官方沟通附件:
Q1： Where are the funds for project development from ?From pre-mine or in other method? If in other ways, how?

TIPS: There have been no funds for development up to now. For the last year, our team of 6 have worked full time as volunteers on reviving Tips (wallet rebuilds, marketing, community, hosting, etc). This was all done for free. We do intend to distribute part of the pre-mine for NEW tips to the developers (see below)

Q2: Is part of mining to be distributed to developers? if yes, how to distribute, in which way and how many coins?

TIPS:
-We are pre-mining 10B New Tips to cover the swap (500B -> 10B with a ratio of 50:1)
-We are pre-mining 10B New Tips for the project. The 10B project coins are broken down as:
- Airdrops/Community 2B
- Partnerships/Marketing/Listing Fees 3B
- Developers 5B

The Developers amount of 5B is for current and future development costs - we have a lot of functionality on the roadmap to build. We
have done a lot of work so far reviving Tips but it is not possible to continue running a large team with no funds at all!

It is our intention that we lock up 80% of the Developers 5B in a smart contract, similar to startup equity, to keep it secure.

Q3: How are the coins generated besides mining?

TIPS: Mining is the ONLY way to generate new Tips. Because we are CryptoNight7, mining is Desktop/CPU only, no ASIC. ALSO - the dev
team are not miners. So mining will only be for the community.

Q4: Do you have any pre-reserved coins?

TIPS: NO - there are no pre-reserved coins.

Q5：As to the 80% of the 5 B fund for development, how long will it be locked?

TIPS：Will it be release gradually? If it is , in which method will it be released. we plan to use a smart contract to lock it up for 12 months. The contract conditions will be coded to allow gradual release.

We plan for no release at all for the first 6 months. After that time, the smart contract will release gradually each month for six months. Equal amounts per month. So:First 6 months: No release; Next 6 months: 1/6 each month

The funds will be released to a multi-signature development wallet, to be paid in equal shares to all long-term members of the development team.

Q6: I also notice that there are 2 B for airdrop. How will it be used? Do you have any plan?

TIPS: Yes we do, thank you for the question. This amount is to be used over a long time (several years). It is for airdrops over 2 - 3 years, to help us grow and build the community. So it will be a slow process with very controlled releases. We also want to establish a Fedora Foundation and use the funds for donations to important charities.
