What wallet will I need to store the tokens?
Your wallet must be ERC-20 compatible. One of the most popular is MyEtherWallet.

Tokens will be distributed by smart contract after the ICO ends. They will be sent to the same ETH address you used to contribute so you must not send ETH directly from an exchange.

We have been in contact with multiple high-profile exchanges and will publish the details as soon as they are finalized.
What exchanges are you hoping to list on?
We have been advised by Legal not to discuss anything regarding exchanges, including the timeline, which ones we’ve applied to, etc. Thank you for understanding.
What will happen to any unsold coins?
Coins that are not sold during the ICO will be integrated into the KWHCoin ecosystem as token for renewable energy generation and network compensation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
How can I stay safe and avoid getting scammed during the ICO?
Here are some helpful tips for not getting scammed:
Never send ETH to any address other than what we publish on the KWHCoin.com.
We will never publish an Ethereum smart contract address on Social Media outlets such as Telegram, Twitter, Reddit etc., or send you an email with an alternative Ethereum address.

What are your plans with Bitshares?
In terms of development, we are working to find the optimal protocol in which to implement the decentralized application. Given the transaction capacity, business components and decentralized database of the bitshares protocol we will focus our efforts in this area. Our team is working to provide the best experience to the prosumers and consumers apart of The grid and will plan for transaction scaling.
How would someone acquire KWH tokens and exchange them for electrical services?
People will have several options to access KWH tokens, including our app currently in development and cryptocurrency exchanges.
If a KWH coin is backed by 1 kWh of energy, how could the value of that coin get bigger than the value of 1 kwh?
A KWH coin is backed by the kilowatt hours flowing through The Grid. The value of KWH coin is based not only on the unit valuation, but on the network and all of our distributed energy resources and their ability to generate and distribute electricity. The value is also derived from the desire of prosumers and consumers to obtain KWH coins to gain access to our network and all of its future capabilities.
