Another date stated as a key date is approaching; February 16th. Are there any issues relative to this date/milestone? With the token in "leu of" fall back established are we still expecting to see the cash dividend and releasing the yet to be allocated tokens?
Thank you.

[RealDutch]

Yes. Or you can send an email to [e-mail] and ask her there.

[_lance]

Yes, I am. I see a Likki Palaypu in the group. Should I reach out to her?

Thanks for your help!

[RealDutch]

You should ask Likhitha this. You are in the telegram group, right?

[_lance]

Does anyone know if the address (boxed in screenshot) is supposed to be the one I whitelisted in my wallet, or a MyCow address or the RISO contract address?

The address doesn't seem to match the one I whitelisted.

[RealDutch]

Yes, they are issuing the rice (RISO) tokens now to the shareholders. The other verticals are next.

You should all keep checking you email spam inbox for mail from MyCow support.

[snow]

RD I notice that the number of rice token holders has quadrupled in a few days and the stake of the biggest token holder, which I expect is one of the verticals, is down by about 4 percent in the meantime. This looks promising.

[_lance]

Great to hear - thanks for the update, aandt!

[aandt]

They are working on it, I have my account and have started to see tokens. I am guessing more to come this week.

[LVerstee]

Another nothing burger being served.

Fixing tons of issues Karlacorm but progressing...

Each client account creation is consuming time because of background check process.
However we requested if we could automate this procedure and bulk transfer ...
Developer team is working to organize this for us...
May be this initial transfer, we will have to undergo this tedious procedure ...
But, We will ready the platform for automated clearance by the time we have the banking partner coming in for retail distribution of tokens.

On transfers, From Monday, we will see increase in the number of per day transfer of tokens...

[karlacorn3]

So looking at the link, there have been only 5 transfers this month. That's a bit perplexing, no? "Just trying to understand the direction of the boat" 😊.

RD It looks as if trading of rice is picking up a bit but few trades have happened this year. By checking a few pages I understand why you compared this to trading stocks. I get the impression that Etherscan which seems to be part of Etherneum, which is the second biggest trader of crypto currencies after Bitcoin, is the chosen vehicle for trading the tokens. I had got the impression that it was a Danish firm.

[palaypu0406]

Work is in progress --

[RealDutch]

I don't know. There could be.

[_lance]

I signed up on 1/31 and haven't heard back yet. Do you know if there's a backlog in setting up the accounts? Thanks for all the updates!

[karlacorn3]

Ok. I think I did miss something.
Thanks.
K

[RealDutch]

You can't receive the tokens unless you have a wallet. They have started that proces now, setting up accounts for people. You can see here that they have started transferring RISO tokens, the security rice tokens.

[karlacorn3]

RD, I just looked back. So with vertical tokens purchased in early December, shouldn't investors have received their tokens then, or certainly by now? I ask because most digital purchases are instant. Excuse me if I have missed something?

K

[karlacorn3]

RD, thanks for the reply.

[RealDutch]

No inquiries. Laxmi expects the bank to wire the money on Feb 16.

[karlacorn3]

Another one of our dates was February 1st. Did anything happen?

I received the Registration As Part of an Entity email yesterday. It says "You have been registered as part of an entity of (my name) with the role of owner. Signatory permissions granted.

You can find out more about your identity in you dashboard here.

I clicked on "here" and it took me to the login page where you enter your user name and password.

I am not sure of the next step. I am registered but that implies I already have a user ID and password. Or do I create my own login and profile and once I am logged on, I will become a member of (my name) in the next step?

[palaypu0406]

Dear Fedel,
you will need to have Wallet Address - if you are unable to create one, we will try to help you out --
Tokens are issued into this wallet securing the cash grant payout -- On or before March 19 if we pay cash these tokens will be burnt off --
If you not you will be to able to redeem these tokens with gold grams that could be liquidated or sold out or partially kept and partially sold out....

[RealDutch]

You need a wallet either way, for your security tokens (=shares you own of the verticals)

Plan is to pay the dividend in cash. But they will also issue utility tokens for these and put them in your wallet.

Best to contact [e-mail] and ask them to help you set up an account/wallet. If you don't have one yet.

[Fedel]

Good afternoon everyone! Sorry for the question. I still don’t understand whether I need to provide the crypto wallet address? Or are we waiting for a cash grant in our bank account? Thanks for the answer!

[snow]

Very encouraging news Laxmi!

[palaypu0406]

Where are you located if I can ask please ...

[MaterialMind]

Cash payout delayed until 19th of March then. I will opt for cash in hand.

I cannot find it now, but I think there was a list of countries to which it is possible to get the gold delivered, and my country was not on that list. If it was, I'd feel more at ease taking tokens. But until the trading platform is in place, and performs well, I will take cash. 💵

[palaypu0406]

Dear All, No queries as of today - Keeping fingers crossed — this means we will have remittance sent out on the 16th and we should receive money between the 19-23, Feb. This will help us gain an additional $8.5 Million from IA & IL based physicians group of which we will set aside money for operational expenses, outsourced staffing compensation plus dgital & social media branding Costs. By March 12 we will gain dollar for dollar match from one Boutique Private Equity with whom we have $600 Million Equity Line arrangement. Names kept confidential. Given this we will set March 19 as the Cash Grant Payout Date unless people choice for absorbing Gold Grains/Grams/Ounces (some people are wanting to retain gold instead of Cash). In this time period, we will also set the platform for trading these tokens... Towards this, we are already working with our Tokenization Platform Service Provider.

Laxmi Prasad

[snow]

RD Then I have misunderstood. I got the impression that it was the only alternative from reading the text. If I receive the cash I can spend it on a potential tax charge. Thanks for removing my wrong interpretation!

[RealDutch]

Snow, converting the cash grant (dividend or utility token) into gold grams and grains by March 15 if the dividend hasn't been paid in cash by then is optional. That is what was missing in the explanation. The utility tokens are issued as an extra layer of comfort.

As for getting your own account for tokens c.q. wallets, it is not a lot different from a brokerage account. And you know all about brokerage accounts so you will get used to it. This shouldn't be a problem.

[snow]

Dear Laxmi It is not important for me to get a quick reply. What is important that I have a valid basis for my actions. For instance I sold some high-risk American shares very recently and bought shares that are less risky for about 30,000 dollars in case I have to pay a big wealth tax this summer. I could not risk that this value had evaporated before summer. This was my real motivation.

[palaypu0406]

Dear Snow,
I just woke up -- The whole of yesterday I was working on things and slept early hours @ 4 am after placing this circulation.
Nothing has changed from our previous understand to what we are doing now.
Will explain in sometime,

[snow]

RD I rceived the e-mail without a problem. It raises some issues that I think should be addressed in a public place since I may not be the only person who is very disappointed. A hope now is that only three verticals have tokens that were supposed to have a commercial value of 10 dollars each at the turn of the year.

[snow]

Dear Laxmi,

I am extremely disappointed to learn that there will be no cash remittance as promised. RD stated not long ago that there would be such a remittance and I had the impression that it would happen by the middle of March at least. To me it is hell to envisage dealing with tokens. I therefore have one question for you. Can you find somebody that is willing to buy the tokens that replace the cash rtemittance for at least half the amount of money I had been promised and that you will remit that sum of money to me? 50% would be about 10,000 dollars to be remitted to me. If you cannot it suggests that the tokens are worth a lot less than the sum of money that was supposed to be remitted.

If you stick to the idea that the tokens in 3 verticals are worth 10 dollars each I may have to pay a wealth tax a of a bit less than 25,000 dollars. If that value goes for more than 3 verticals the sum will accrease accordingly. I have altogether staked about 50,000 dollars in your companies. The return the way you run your business be another 25,000 dollars in a wealth tax which would seem to be based on undocumented value and no cash remittance and tokens that are of no value to me since I can't handle them.

Great insight, thank you for those details, RD!

[RealDutch]

Some things are confidential. And/or not suitable for the public domain. The company usually doesn't discuss in detail how it finances its operations.

Perhaps you remember, last year we had a big investor from India and we were waiting for that money. The money was wired but put on hold and investigated by the authorities. So that was unexpected and caused some troubles. I don't know the status of that currently.

We were also supposed to ramp up sales, but again, without that big investor, it didn't go as planned.

So then we initiated what you can call plan B or plan C around september. Two asset sales in India totalling $52M. So we are no longer dependent on third parties. That process has been ongoing since september and we should be close now. It's the right approach IMO. We are all waiting for that money. Employees, shareholders, management and some of our business partners. As for the timeline on that, we have been and are dependent on the information we get from the lawyers in India.

[karlacorn3]

RD, Respectfully…I guess what I don’t understand is how/why there were only guarantees regarding the dividend timeline when the deadline for the vertical purchases was established. Everything was simple, buy in to the verticals by date “x” and receive the subsequent dividend by date “y”. I’m unclear as to why all the issues (realized and potential) were not disclosed? People are making strategic financial decisions and the info provided currently is delivered as “matter of fact” which means prior knowledge.

Baffled.
K

[snow]

Thanks for useful information RD!

[RealDutch]

The dividend is $25M. And in a recent update, Laxmi said we will double the $54M coming from India to $108M. Which means the dividend can't be paid right away when we receive the money.

However, nothing is set in stone. Because we have more transfers planned.

[MaterialMind]

Wasn't Laxmi saying they'd escrow everything except whatever amount needed to cover salaries/dividends/other spending? Maybe that also depends on the actual release date. I mean, if you actually do get the money around February 16th, then why not escrow it all?

[RealDutch]

Karlacorn, the final step in the process (getting FEMA approval in India) can take up to 90 days. We are well past 30 days now. Probably half-way. However, if we don't get any inquiries from the central bank by tomorrow then it was said by our lawyers in India that the money will be released on February 16. We should have that update in a few days. Even then, I think we need 2-3 weeks in escrow in order to double that money from $54M to $108M with help of a financial partner (dollar for dollar match).

So we are probably looking at March when the dividend will be paid. I don't see how it can happen in February. The important thing is to get the first cross-border transaction done. Then subsequent transfers, which we are also planning, will be a lot quicker.

[karlacorn3]

RD, being just beyond one week (halfway point), are their any indicators or updates regarding the intent to pay the dividends at the two week mark?
Thanks
K

[palaypu0406]

But professionally, I have my responsibility to address on Mission 101 and I will -- As a company we take decisions that meaningfully increase our bottomline profits without changing our fundamental goal and mission. We do not go by emotions. Our plan was to have 1,728 staff to handle sales and the original idea was to have this mission 101 campus as it perfectly fits our requirement. However, one financial industry veteran advised us not to centralize field management but spread them into local capsules and use the money saved on fixed establishment on line items that will increase our spread globally. And the result -- we have 216 members trained and ready to work for us remotely from multiple geographic locations. This not just saved us on rent but heavily on compensation -- Against a minimum wage of $20 an hour for base staff (skilled or unskilled), we are able to have highly qualified professional staff for half the cost almost. What matters for an organization is to be able to withstand the economic rout happening everywhere and remain strong... yes we evolve continuously and our decisions will change dynamically with the trend and it has been our core strength to remain live in all weathers. Our business never stopped -- the entire verticals are actively moving forward despite all the hardships and challenges we face - Unlike what you have unlawfully asserted that we are drawing shareholder funds, we (which means one and every member in the group including myself) have so far drawn compensation as equity but not in cash and the cash we pay now and then is barely sufficient as expense reimbursements. I can go on record in public here that every dollar that is taken from anyone is spent judiciously for the purpose of business and nothing else. We are placing our blood, holding our stomachs, unlike the way you spoke and most of the shareholders know with what commitment we are taking this vision forward that will shortly unlock the horns of the bull run we will have. Yes, to build Rome -- to build an empire and to build an enterprise that is envisioned to remain as a legacy takes time but the concrete that we have poured is so strong that it will help us wither even Tsunamis ....And I have already answered on $0.01 that we seek.. I have already gone on record that we received a very feeble amount and we have not even encouraged those wanting to pay this later as the whole purpose of seeking this fractional money (one cent) was not to have money but to not to have those who do not have faith in our efforts. To the extent, we already intimated that non-subscribers will be issued utility tokens in the verticals that they simply redeem and quit. Time will testify Laxmi Prasad, this organization and the reasons why 99% of shareholders strongly back the efforts ignoring disparage. Yes we are delayed but not for wrongful reasons -- I have been on this blog for more than a few years and I am still here and I will still be here ...When the conduct is transparent and people believe that conduct, no evil can torment us ....

Laxmi Prasad

[palaypu0406]

And I am advised by my shareholders and staff to ignore all piggish messages ...
Even my strong responses to your unlawful messages were deleted, advising me that a man who has a mission should ignore street talk. And I promised them I will... We will handle you later...
