Official ICO Live Auction Thread for VIVA Right Here on Steemit
VIVA is the price stable crypto currency with reliable income features.
It was introduced to the world by @williambanks over the course of several postings.
Part 1 : Introduction to a Price Stable Crypto Currency With Basic Income
Part 2 : VIVA Components Explained
Part 3 : VIVA Components Explained - Part 2
Part 4 : Bootstrapping the VIVA Economy
In order to guarantee an income for all participants, the VIVA economy is structured around the interplay of several economic layers.
Three of these layers are crypto currencies that serve specific purposes within the ecosystem.
The fourth layer is a fiat gateway with debit Mastercard issuing capabilities.
This auction is the first of it's kind in the world!
Round 1 is comprised of several batches, each corresponding to a milestone.
Auction Details:
There will only ever be 42,000 VIVA Crowns.
The first 4,000 are to be distributed over the course of 4 rounds.
After ICO there will only be One Crown found per week!
Each batch or round corresponds with a milestone we've reached.
Creating the exchange and fiat gateway was our first milestone and began the launch of the live auction for VIVA Crowns, our fundamental base layer.
For batch 2 we finished our ICO website www.vivaco.in
Drop by and check it out!
This week several milestones were reached.
- Our wallet tool was released and is being rolled into an installer to make it easier to deploy!
- We have our own forums
- We launched a wiki and are working to get information into our wiki as well!
These auctions serve several purposes.
- They allow us to perform adequate price discovery, because when we speak to institutional investors they want to see that.
- They give everyone a chance acquire some while the price is low.
- We use the powered up steem to provide upvotes to our developers as a perk to help attract and retain top talent.
- The show demonstrable progress in development and community outreach.
We believe that everybody should have the opportunity to benefit from the explosive growth we're about to undergo.
Running the auction here is our way of saying thank you to the steem community for everything you've done for us.
Rules:
- The auction is still priced in USD.
- You can settle in any currency supported by @blocktrades.
- There are only 50 VIVA Crowns available in this batch.
- You have up to 7 days to settle.
- Your bid is per unit of currency.
- You can specify the number of units you want at settlement.
- For your bid to be accepted it must be at least as high as the minimum bid and at least $1 higher than your previous high bid.
- The auction closes at post payout
In the last round, @svamiva put in a bid of $500 and was the previous high bidder, meaning that this batch opens at $501
To bid, just say something like...
I bid $567.00
This is a fill in auction, there are 50 available this batch, please hold off on announcing how many you are bidding on.
The highest per unit bidder at close will get first say on how many they want, then the second highest bidder, then the third etc until this batch is completely sold. Winners will be invited to our private slack.
Keep in mind that this is a carry over auction. While we do allow fill in bidding within a batch, the ceiling of the previous batch becomes the floor of the next. Bidding starts at $501!
Happy Bidding!

Original auction thread
Batch 2 auction thread
Settlement can be in any coin supported by @blocktrades and we recommend them for settlement.
Last week was your last chance to get in on the VIVA ICO with the fixed price steem settlement mechanism, but we will accept steem dollars at a rate of $1SBD = $1USD.
Also, @williambanks appeared on @steemittalk and gave out a code you can use at settlement to pay 1 steem = $0.50 but you need to tune in and listen to the whole podcast to catch it! If you were there and know it, please don't disclose it. @williambanks will be on @beyondbitcoin this week and offering a similar code for @beyondbitcoin as well

I try the last 2 days to reach Williams about the settlement without success.
No podcast published yet and he was not on the beyondbitcoin mumble session yesterday (Friday)... I have sent him a couple of DM on slack (both) and on steemit.chat...nothing...Is he ok? I am really concerned.
Everything fine!

Is the time up already? Seems to have gone too fast... Come people bid! :)
Still has a couple hours. It's going to be bid sniped again.
That is the case when the post gets new up-votes before it ends... not new reply s...
Yeah but bidsniping is when you wait until the absolute last second to bid in order to prevent escalation of the bids. That's a function of the replies.
125 is my current bid (probably will not be able to buy many unfortunately cause...well im working on so much :P)
I do want to be a piece of viva history though!
