PARKGENE – Status Update 8-11-2019

PARKGENE – Status Update 8-11-2019

 

Having launched PARKGENE service since mid 2018, we have taken several steps to develop the product offering and understand the market dynamics for both the parking industry as well as the adoption of Cryptocurrencies into everyday lives of all the potential users of our system.

It became quickly apparent to us that among other things the problem with the parking ecosystem was that very few people had parking spots and were Crypto enthusiasts.

As the Crypto bear market evolved, we had to act and act we did so. We are delivering Excelon which will be the backbone of the AIRBNB of parking as well as a strong crypto-fiat banking solution for everyone.

During 2019 we have achieved the promissed GENE Token listing in one of the best exchanges globally (LATOKEN) while at the same time we have invested significant efforts in developing the EXCELON Fintech branch which will bring a fully functional exchange for GENE as well a CRYPTO/FIAT gateway for all GENE, and other coin, enthousiasts.

EXCELON is preparing for the launch of the Exchange and Crypto banking service and it shares with us a snapshot of the Web functionality of the Excelon service which incorporates the Crypto functionality.

Excelon Web V2.0, Incorporating FIAT and Crypto Wallets as well as Crypto Exchange Functionalities

 

FUTURE STEPS

2020 holds some key developments for Parkgene namely:

  1. PARKGENE P2P Parking Service, integration with Excelon exchange will simplify the process of instantly buying and Selling Genes. Users that don’t want crypto will still benefit from the parking app
  2. Improved website with new functionality Q1 2020.
  3. Development for an IOT controller a functionality missing from the app today that will be sponsored for parking owners or sold independently. This new product will include:
    1. A Central Controller (CC)to connect with the garage door opener to transmit the open/close door command. The central controller will connect to the PARKGENE cloud through any home’s Internet WiFi or LAN connection.
    2. A Car Sensor (CS)that will be placed at the exact parking spot (in the garage) to indicate where a user should park as well to detect if the spot is taken. This car sensor will connect to the central controller (CC). Each Central Controller (CC) will be able to host more than 50 Car Sensors making it easy to be placed in garages with more than one spots.
    3. Mobile functionality to enable remote control for door openning and closing for garage owners and drivers through the PARKGENE mobile App.
  4. Parkgene’s App upgraded Version 2 should be available by Q3 2020. This will have both functionalities mentioned above as well as referrals and reviews for the sharing ecosystem to work seamlessly.
  5. Full scale marketing campaign city by city.

 

With all this, we would like to share our enthusiasm for the new things to come for both PARKGENE P2P Parking service as well as the GENE Token position in the Cryptocurrency market as a true utility token for P2P Payments with full support of rreal time exchange to FIAT through Excelon Service.

Today, the ecosystem of the PARKGENE numbers more than 67,000 unique users, using the PARKGENE P2P Parking Service and or the GENE Wallet. The apps are available for iOS and Android devices, as well as for web browsers. Currently, PARKGENE has already cooperation and ready-to-lease with more than 18,000 parking spaces in commercial parking areas in the Attica region, Thessaloniki and is also piloting in Cyprus. In addition to Greece and Cyprus, our application records more than 6 million commercial parking spaces in 8,000 cities worldwide.

Dear Friends,

We’re happy to announce the launch of the new PARKGENE application for Android and the new PARKGENE professional parking services on July 3rd, preceded by our June 4th launch of the PARKGENE web application, the GENE Wallet enhancements, and the PARKGENE website.

Following our strategic decision to integrate the PARKGURU professional parking service with PARKGENE, to provide a better user experience and convenience, the PARKGENE service will feature over 6 million parking spots in 8 thousand cities including more than 50 locations and 8 thousand professional parking spots ready to accept cryptocurrency payments: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and GENE tokens.

Since our last communication, there are 11 thousand additional subscribers to the GENE Wallet, which facilitates these transactions. Last, but not least, there is a growing number of peer-to-peer spaces listed by PARKGENE early adopters, who used the PARKGENE web application to list their private parking spots.

June 4, 2018 – Launching: GENE Wallet Android app, Website, Mobile Web Application, and PARKGENE Android app.

 

Dear PARKGENE supporters,

We are happy to announce that after an intense few weeks of final development and testing we are launching the new GENE Wallet Android Application, the new GENE Wallet website, and the GENE Wallet Mobile Web Application. You can find all the information on the GENE Wallet here: https://genewallet.io/

These milestones achievements are significant, since the GENE Wallet is the cornerstone of the PARKGENE Peer to Peer parking application and payments implementation. Furthermore, the GENE Wallet Mobile Web Application allows iOS users to access all the GENE Wallet features while we continue working with Apple to launch an iOS native mobile app.

One more thing!
In the next 24 hours, as promised, we will also launch the PARKGENE Mobile app for Android with full peer-to-peer parking functionality. The new PARKGENE Mobile app, besides it’s p2p nature, also inherits the DNA of the PARKGURU application and with it over 50 thousand users and over 16 thousand professional parking spots.

With these releases, PARKGENE stays well ahead of its development roadmap and will continue working hard to continue providing value to the ecosystem.

PARKGENE Web Service and new Website Launch

Dear PARKGENE Supporters,

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website, as promised, found at https://parkgene.io. The new site implements the first of our two-step approach for the peer-to-peer PARKGENE service, with the GENE Wallet being an integral part.

In this first step we allow parking space owners to list their space with the PARKGENE service, thus making the spots available for drivers who will be looking for parking in their area. This service is made available worldwide and users can list their parking spots wherever they live.

The two-step approach is important to acquire the critical mass of parking spots needed, before we make them publicly available to our drivers. It’s also an important time to do user testing and to optimize the service.

We continue to work towards the commercial roll-out of PARKGENE Service and we plan to release the Mobile Apps and Web Booking service on June 4th, 2018.

We are looking forward to the community’s engagement and enlargement. To that end we will soon announce our referral reward scheme for our members to invite their friends to join and become part of the Global Parking revolution that PARKGENE introduces today.

Please feel free to register and list your parking spots so you are ready when we open for business. Every new user will receive 50 GENE tokens to spend within the PARKGENE service (not intended for trading in exchanges).

We will keep you posted on our progress.

The PARKGENE Team.

Cryptocurrency Volatility Protection for GENE Token Buyers

SINGAPORE, ATHENS, LONDON. Thursday January 25, 2018

PARKGENE announced today that it offers downside and upside protection against cryptocurrency volatility for GENE token holders.

 

“Having listened to our community’s concerns regarding the volatility of their cryptocurrency positions, we have decided to help alleviate the concerns of crypto appreciating or depreciating during the course of our ICO, offering guaranteed protections, both in the upside as well as the downside”, said Nikolas Skarlatos, CFO of PARKGENE.

The Volatility Protection scheme is further detailed below with the following two protections offered:

 

  1. Up to 20% upside guaranteed

If the digital asset exchanged for tokens appreciates, the token holder will get extra tokens up to 20% of the upside.

 

  1. Downside protection against any downside risk

If you have purchased GENE tokens using cryptocurrency, we will lock the number of tokens against the crypto price at the time of the purchase.

 

 

More specifically, below you can find the upside-protection level based on participation:

Participation Value   Upside Price Protection
$2,000 – $5,000 10%
$5,001 – $10,000 15%
$10,001 + 20%

 

If the digital asset exchanged for the tokens appreciates, the token holder will be able to benefit from this as his tokens will be recalculated up to a certain percentage based on volume (see table above).

Please note:

  • These recalculations will only involve the tokens allocated from the sale transaction. The adjustment does not apply to bonus tokens.
  • Recalculations are made daily (for reference) and the final calculations will take place on February 19, 2018 or at any point that our hard cap is reached and the ICO is sold-out.

To better understand how the Volatility Protection works please see the examples below:

Example 1: You’ve purchased 95,000 GENE with 1 BTC at $9,500 USD/BTC. At the end of the ICO, BTC has appreciated to $13,000 (a 36.8% appreciation) you will receive 15% more tokens. (14,250 additional tokens)

Example 2: You’ve purchased 95,000 GENE with 1 BTC at $9,500 USD/BTC. At the end of the ICO, BTC has fallen to $7,000 (a 26.3% depreciation) your purchase is not affected by the price decline

Example 3: You’ve purchased 95,000 GENE with 1 BTC at $9,500 USD/BTC. At the end of the ICO 1 BTC has appreciated to $10,500 (a 10.52% appreciation) you will receive 10.52% more tokens (9,994 additional tokens)

PARKGENE ICO – Article on Daily Fintech by Bernard Lunn

PARKGENE is closing it’s Pre Sale ICO today. The CEO (Ilias Louis Hatzis) writes a weekly post on Daily Fintech (the Blockchain Bitcoin & Crypto Weekly CXO Briefing that comes out each Monday; see later today). I have a high regard for Ilias, so count me biased on this one.

I am no expert in parking, but I have done enough to understand the pain point. I also know that I would be quite happy loaning out my parking space for cash. I can also see that this is a good use for a Utility Token – you basically prepay for your parking.

Although I don’t know much more than the average Joe about parking, my years as an entrepreneur and advisor helps me to recognise  a smart, driven entrepreneur when I meet one. Ilias Louis Hatzis scores that front.

Daily Fintech is written by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs – so please wish Ilias good fortune on his journey.
