Hello I am pleased to announce for the SBC sparkedwave.com . Sparked Wave a crowdfunding platform that will help launch Stellar into mainstream adoption while making a better world one dream at a time. Crowdfunding your passions, hopes, dreams and projects using a simple, stylish and community guided platform. I want people to be able to fund their dreams in a fun and inspiring manner, where the only gains of those who pledge, are the gains of being a part of each other’s dreams. It has always been my belief that to change the world one needs but a single spark, a single notion of an idea for a dream to begin to take shape, and within this, so inspire the wave of revolution. It is my greatest hope that you will join with me in making this a successful venture, and I look forward to seeing the brighter future we can bring forth together. BREAKDOWN A crowdfunding website where payments are made in support of dreams or projects using Stellar Lumens. Dream/project managers update their progress after their funding is over for the community as a whole. All dreams or projects must be fun and make the world a nicer place to live, even if it’s on a personal level (yes making you happy is a valid reason but try to be creative). Both fully funded and partially funded plans are needed when submitting a dream or project (another great opportunity to be creative. HINT: look at previous campaigns to get ideas). RECENT FIXES/UPDATES Miner bug fixes. Increased days a campaign is allowed to run to 90. Added downloadable badges in “My Account” (allows for the collection of badges that help the user to keep track of dreams and projects they supported). I look forward to hearing from the community. Any Ideas, suggestions or comments are always appreciated. So head to sparkedwave.com to sign up, submit a project or fund one another’s dreams. Thank you for your support and I look forward to helping you spark your dreams, one Lumen at a time. Owner and manager, Sparked Wave

StellarEconomy Hello Glenn, Stellar Economy sounds like a very worthwhile project and I wish you luck in the SBC as well as success in achieving the mission you have set forth upon. I also think Stellar Economy would be a perfect campaign for Sparked Wave. I almost have enough information from what you provided to go ahead with setting up your campaign, I just need a few more things. Firstly If you could head over to sparkedwave.com and click on ‘Sign Up’. Once signed up click on ‘Submit Dream’ and fill out the Submit Dream Form. On the form I will need the amount of XML you want crowdfunded, your XML wallet address (public key) and the amount of days you want your campaign to run for. For the other three sections (Title, Why Support and The Description) you have already given me enough information so If you don’t want to fill them in just type “Previously Supplied” in these sections (Alternatively If you would like to write something else just fill them out as prompted). Finally read and agree to the terms of use and click the blue Submit button. After I receive this information an individual icon will be made for your campaign as well as a badge that will be available for your backers as a proof of support download. I wanted Sparked Wave to be a platform to Inspire people to support each others dreams or projects and I think Stellar Economy If a very worthwhile project, one that I would be proud to include on sparkedwave.com. I wish you well in the SBC and in achieving your funding goals. Owner and manager, Sparked Wave

Also If anyone else has any SBC projects that they feel may benefit from some XLM crowdfunding that they want to run past me, feel free to post. Or go to sparkedwave.com, sign up and click on 'Submit Dream' to submit your project for review. Owner and manager, Sparked Wave

Nice start. Stellar is amazing for crowdfunding platforms.

cryptobrant Thanks cryptobrant. I agree, Stellar is perfect for crowdfunding. If you have any suggestions, or features you would like to see added to sparkedwave.com let me know. Owner and manager, Sparked Wave

Sparked-Wave Thanks for the information, I will get to work on this next week. What will be your method of advertising to get people to see your web site?

StellarEconomy Hello Glenn, thanks for signing up and being a part of Sparked Wave. The site has just launched, therefore the advertising campaign is only in the first stage. To answer your question first let me explain that my advertising strategy has been planned out in stages. Since stage one is the stage we are at, I’ll give you my stage one breakdown at least as it presently stands. STAGE ONE ADVERTISING PLAN BREAKDOWN Search engine optimization (SEO) incorporation and tactics. Announce to the stellar community at large, invite participation, showcase website and incorporate feedback. Involve the entire cryptocurrency community and again invite participation, showcase website and incorporate feedback. Contact and utilise blogs, articles and other media that focuses on cryptocurrency news to showcase Sparked Wave. Paid Advertisements on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Paid Advertisements on several cryptocurrency sites. Assess effectiveness of different advertisements and incorporate what is learnt into stage 2. I have other plans for the latter stages however it must be noted that once these components are complete they will effect my future stages and so the plans will be altered depending on stage one. I hope this gives you some insight into the methods I plan to use. I’m happy to explain further or to answer any other question you may have. Hope your campaign goes well and I look forward to reading what you submit latter next week. Owner and manager, Sparked Wave

Also I should add that I have decided in the hope of supporting the stellar developer community, to forgo the 5% fee on project/dream creation for all stellar network incorporated projects. So Glen there will be no commission taken on your project and 100% of any XML raised will be sent to your XML wallet at the end of your campaign. I wish you the best of luck with such a worthwhile project. Owner and manager, Sparked Wave

Sparked Wave - a crowdfunding website using the stellar network

layinka

This is great.
I will register soon as i have been looking for something like this to launch my ICO project on the stellar network.

i think someone else started something like this, i believe it was icolator but it didnt have traction.

Sparked-Wave

layinka

Hello Layinka,
Thank you, for your decision to use sparkedwave.com.
I very much look forward to reading about your ICO project. An ICO launch would be perfect for sparkedwave.com. I wish you good fortune in your campaign and hope that it is of a great success.

In reference to Icolator, they seemed to want to focus on ICO development but as you mentioned it just didn’t get the numbers of people involved that it needed. Still one day in the future it may takeoff, so I wish them the best of luck.

Unlike Icolator Sparked Wave will include every crowdfunding endeavor (no matter the size or type) as long as the projects have a touch of fun and are ethically sound. This widens the scope of participation from users substantially and will build a healthy community.

I greatly look forward to receiving your ICO project submission when you are ready and I thank you Layinka once again for choosing Sparked Wave.

Thanks for your support kirbyrawr.
I’m also very interested to see how your Unity Integration goes. I think it's very promising and can see stellar being incorporated into the indie game development scene quite well.

Weekly Update 1
Hello.
This is my first weekly update. I will be including one every week for a while to keep everyone apprised of the changes and progress taking place at sparkedwave.com.

Updates/Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where a purchase did not automatically direct to the “Dream Catcher” page.
Changed the days a campaign can run to be entirely user specified.
Added user ability to upload images to the “Submit Dream” form to show the type of icon they are after.
Added a category for a user submitted website to the “Submit Dream” form.
Lowered password acceptable strength so as to be not as annoying to users.

Three New Stellar Projects
I have just approved and added three new projects to the site. The great thing about these projects is they mark the first stellar oriented projects featured on Sparked Wave. All stellar projects are free of any commission and get 100% of any XML raised.

All other campaigns currently receive 95%, with the remaining 5% being redistributed by Sparked Wave to other projects or dreams.

So check out the new projects and thank you for all the support thus far.

I have quite a few of these dreams and need a platform to share/fund them. I'm going to sign up. I have a stellar based project and within this project I was looking to ICO the dream projects of mine.

Sparked-Wave

LukeSkywalker

Hello and welcome. Hopefully Sparked Wave serves you well in your crowdfunding endeavours. Thank you for signing up and I greatly look forward to seeing what dreams and projects you use this platform for.

Also your 2 pledges have been processed and would have appeared on the site by now. If you have any questions or changes you would like implemented let me know and thanks once again for joining sparkedwave.com.

Owner and manager,
Sparked Wave

LukeSkywalker

Awesome. One of those dreams is exactly inline with stellar aerospace ? (a link I followed in one of the current dreams) it's actually the full implementation, something Elon Musk would want to do, I call it decentralized Xprize.

I submitted a first dream, I had already written a description down so I used it as I<m in a bit of a hurry to get back to coding. Let me know if you have any questions I will clarify.

Sparked-Wave

@LukeSkywalker
I’ll get your project up on the site shortly. A very exciting idea and it does indeed align with the ideals of the aerospace project. Your idea is fantastic by the way, I think it’s a marvellous concept and sounds like a revolutionary way to approach the problems involved with space travel.

I am curious to know if you have some sort of background in engineering?

This is some next level thinking and I very much support it and thank you for using Sparked Wave for this and future projects.

Nice idea, I would suggest these features:
Categories
Shop page - list amount funded and wanted under project

Sparked-Wave

BlockMaster
Hello, and thank you for your support.
Some excellent suggestions, I truly appreciate your thoughts and think both features are very good ideas.
I'll get to incorporating them as soon as I can.
Thanks once again for your input.

StellarEconomy

I’ll get to the bottom of it for you.
I think It may be that your password isn’t matching the one you supplied at your registration a few weeks ago, so I will reset it for you.

The problem you are having with signing up is due to the site having a security feature where multiple accounts cannot be set up under the same email address. This means if you are trying to set up a new account with the same email address it won’t work.

I will send you an email with your username and a temporary password that you can use.

Once you have signed in with the new password you can change it. To do this go to “My Account” and click on the “Edit Account” tab to change the password to something you would like.

So please check for an email and let me know if the problem isn't solved.
I look forward to reading what you submit.

Owner and manager,
Sparked Wave

Hi Again, sorry for the late response, I am trying to finish up my SBC project submission.

Thank you for the positive feedback....

I have a technologist diploma in electrical engineering - Telecommunications Branch, it's a electronics technician degree but with it's 3 years instead of two.

After that I studied 4 years at ETS University in Montreal and got my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.

So I have 7 years of study. I am grateful that because of this we were aloud to take up to 3 masters level classes which I gladely took with much appreciation.

The first version of the idea came during my first degree studies, I was like 18? omg it's been 20 years already.
