News Letter # 1

CanYa Updates

The CanYaCoin ICO was an amazing success and now we are fully focussed on executing the plan as per the roadmap detailed in the CanYaCoin Whitepaper.

This will be the first edition of our ‘Newsletter‘ that we will post on our social media channels and email every 2-4 weeks to keep our community up to date.

Post-CAN ICO Admin

100% Audit
This process is both time consuming and completely mandatory to ensure that CanYa can work with financial institutions and regulators in the future.

The main issue we are having is the lack of communications from CAN ICO participants.

If you have not received your CAN yet it is likely because you:
Participated in the pre-sale – These members have not received the second half of their CAN distribution because they haven’t confirmed their email and ETH address pairing.
Contributed from an exchange – These members contributed from known exchange ETH addresses and instead of sending their CAN to an exchange wallet (and likely losing it forever) we have put their CAN distribution on ‘HOLD’.
‘AltCoins’ – These members participated with currencies other than ETH (BTC/BCH/LTC/DASH). Due to issues with HD wallets (changing wallet addresses) and exchange wallets, we need for these members to confirm their transaction before we release their CAN.
We understand that the manual audit takes longer than a simple smart contract but it also would have meant that everyone that sent contributions from an exchange or a HD wallet would have lost their tokens forever. We feel the extra time is worth ensuring that those that are new to crypto and made a simple mistake didn’t lose their contribution and still got their CAN tokens!

In order to progress the audit and distribute all CAN tokens, we need these members to contact [email protected] to resolve the outstanding issues.

CanYa Team on the Road

We will also announce our presence at other upcoming conferences and international engagements in our CanYa Community Telegram Channel to try and meet any local CanYa HODL’ers!
CanYa Development

The CanYa Whitepaper details a very ambitious roadmap with tight timings. Currently we are on track with our new global app launch by the end of March, but we will be aiming to release a version ahead of schedule in February. We will release a Development Update & Roadmap announcement soon.

Market Research

The CanYa Team already have experience with designing apps (iOS, Android and web-apps) and we have applied the lessons learned while we move forward with updating the CanYa platform.

We have not taken anything for granted however and we have engaged with extensive product and market research to ensure that we leverage all of the fundamental expectations that come with P2P service marketplaces.

CanYa Web-app

The wire-guides for the web-app platform have been mapped, the User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) has been prioritised and we are busy building on our solid foundation. We have completed basics operations and are growing out the supplementary features that will make CanYa fully functional. Our dev team is steadily growing and we are well positioned to keep to our ambitious timeline.

HODL club

As per our latest released blog (which you can read by clicking this link) the HODL Club now has two tiers:

The original ‘OG HODLers’ which is unchanged from the original HODL Club

The OG HODL audit is almost complete. Within the next week all OG HODLers will be emailed and our new Telegram group will be up and running. We also have CanYa merchandise to give away to winners of HODL Club raffles. Expect the first OG HODL air-drop to take place in February!
