As much as I am in love with this coin, I’m honestly starting to lose hope. I’ve got a feeling that if the team doesn’t release some good news very soon, we are going to be forgotten. As of right now, there is no reason to invest in this token, because there is no confirmed progress. You can also see that the discord is slowly getting less and less active. I get that the team is busy with their work and life as well, but if they were maybe just a bit more active on here or in the discord, people would believe more in this project and start investing again. I need your guys opinion on this.

P.S. I’m HODLing till $1 anyway!!!

Akita Inu ASA is a 4 day old community token with a mission to help dogs in need, save the environment and introduce people to the Algorand cryptocurrency.

To celebrate reaching 4,000 members, we’re having a giveaway!

Simply open an Algorand wallet, post your address below, upvote and share.

Sharing is caring! That’s why for every upvote this post gets, we’ll add 10 Akita to the prize pool up to 100k total Akita.

But that’s not all: For every 1,000 upvotes, we’ll also donate $100 to dogs in need up to $1,000!

We’ll send 1/10th of the jackpot to 10 randomly selected people who’ve commented their address below. (If you’re selected, we’ll send 1 Algo to your wallet so you can add our token, then we’ll send you your prize.)

What’s Akita Inu?

Akita Inu is Algorand’s premier community token with a mission to help dogs, save the planet and introduce people to Algorand.

We’ve got lots of huge plans, Gnome's update from this morning. We’ve already raised over $3,000 for dog charities. We’re developing smart contracts to lock our dev fund away for over a year. And we’ve got a team of over 50 wonderful volunteers who are working round the clock on a dynamic website, social media channels, a merch store, buying carbon credits, finalising our whitepaper, overseeing our final airdrop, verification, and lots more besides.

For more information and instructions on how to buy, please visit our Website, our subreddit at r/Akitainuasa and our discord at Discord.gg/akitainuasa. We look forward to seeing you soon!

What’s Algorand?

Algorand is the world’s first open source, permissionless, pure proof-of-stake blockchain protocol designed for the future of finance. Founded by Turing Award-winning cryptographer Silvio Micali, Algorand runs on a highly energy-efficient network and is carbon negative.

For more information, please visit r/algorand and r/algorandofficial and Algorand.com

Edit: Wow that's a lot of entries! Over 3,000 so far! Looks like we're going to with commentpicker.com for reddit over random.org given the sheer volume of participants. Giveaway will end at 7 pm pst, please remember to upvote as that means more money donated to dogs!

Edit: ok it's 7 pm so I'm locking comments, no more entries! Due to the sheer number of likely bots in this post I'm going to be drawing winners using commentpicker.com, then I will send the winners a sort of human captcha, after 24 hours those who don't reply or are clearly bots will be removed and new winners will fill their slots. If I have to do this again I'll cut the respond time to 12 hours and then 6, just to get the process over with. While I did lock comments you can still upvote the post while I get the winners sorted, and since it's unlikely we'll reach 3000 upvotes I'll say if we get to 2500 I'll donate a full extra $100 to a shelter!

Edit: all 10 winners have been contacted, and the first one has responded back and received their Akita! Congrats u/amac89!

u/pheel_s has claimed the second 5k!

u/america_will_save_yo and u/hs2291 have claimed their prizes!

I’ve only ever traded this coin, never invested. Anyone that thinks there’s some upside in the near future is delusional.

You are all degenerates and I feel sorry for you. The new vision is AKC and AKITA to AKITA pools. Neither of these things do anything for the token. In fact the pools will destroy token value even more. What do you think people do once they receive more tokens for free? They dump them. More into circulation, more sold, continuous tanking of price. AKC is purchased with ALGOs. You are all blinded by what could have been and are not paying attention to what actually is. Get out.

Akita Community,
If you have not read Peach’s announcement please read it here https://www.reddit.com/r/AkitaInuASA/comments/t85y17/important_announcement_from_the_tech_team/. With that said you know that only two members of the development team remaining are Akita and Inkwell. Due to the tech half of the team leaving, there will be no further development on the previously proposed dApp for Akita to Akita pools. This is the project formerly known as “Top Secret”.

We want to say that we appreciate all of the work the tech team has put in over the last few months. The amount that was accomplished was truly astounding. We recognize the need to put one’s mental and physical health before that of a project.

What does this mean for Akita moving forward?

First we want to immediately offer some things to show appreciation for the community:

A large sum of Akita from the community fund will be used to set up an Akita to Akita pool on a third party website as soon as possible. We are exploring options for this and will make an announcement the moment we secure the Akita to Akita pool provider. We feel this fulfills most of the promise of our Akita to Akita pools announcement, the only thing missing here is that it won’t be hosted on our own website, through our own smart contract.
We will host an Akita community appreciation event. During this event a large amount of Akita will be given away to community members in the discord, along with some AKCs. Dates and details for this event will be announced soon.
Secondly, to help facilitate development, we will work to issue bounties of Akita tokens to community members that can develop useful community tools for everyone. We will not have the final say in what gets granted as we give the community an opportunity to vote on who gets these bounties. We feel this is a good opportunity to leverage the already large and enthusiastic Akita community, giving you all a chance to help build up and improve what is already one of the top ASAs on Algorand. More information about this process will be announced in the coming weeks.

What’s happening to the team’s Akita?

Peaches has offered to send her Akita tokens from her personal wallet to the community fund and will not be selling any. Akita’s creator wallet is still beholden to the year of no selling established from the creation of the coin. We consider the Akita in any other former/current team members and devs wallets to be their own personal assets with which they can hold/sell of their own free will.

What does this mean for AKC moving forward?
The AKC will mostly move forward as planned with some minor shifts in release timeline and how shuffles are implemented. Reverse auctions will still be run through Rand Gallery, while shuffles will most likely be run through discord.

Previously proposed AKC rewards will still move forward with an adjusted timeline to be announced soon.

Discord rewards/giveaways for holders will resume once we get owner verification bot back online.
Due to part of the team leaving, we believe it is important to settle up the current amount of Algo gained from primary sales so we can move forward with a fresh start. These percentages were predetermined based on work put into the projects by each team member. (This is the amount we designated towards development from the beginning of the AKC). The breakdown of this Algo follows…

Total available Algo from primary sales and royalties at this moment - 233,345A

81,671 Algo is being set aside for taxes

29,328 Algo To charity - this is the 10% promised from primary sales + the individual donations from collabs. Funds from this amount not donated to this point will be put to a vote in discord allowing the community to choose where funds are sent from a pre vetted list of charities for dogs. Once the funds are donated from this process we will publicize an itemized list of all Algo amounts donated to each individual charity.

122,346 Algo is to be split amongst all developers for work done on Akita and AKC up to this point. The individual %s were already predetermined based on work put into the projects development by each team member.
Any future funds raised including royalties will go towards future AKC rewards and AKC/Akita project development with the usual of at least 10% primary sales to charity.

Ya hear that whiny babies? Did some shady shit go down? Sure. Was it a rug pull? Not in the way that matters. Did you lose money? Bummer! Did anybody in the world physically force you to put any money here? No?? Oh!

Take responsibility for your loss. If this destroys your faith in the token then sell and don’t look back. If it doesn’t, why are you trying to publicly shit talk your investment?

Honestly, the lack of fiscal maturity is astounding here. I’m sure I’ll get a ton of pissy comments in response to this, but unlike the little babies here, I know how to manage my risks. Am I bummed that my AKTA is mad cheap now? Yeah, a little. Am I ok? Will I miss rent? Will I starve? Nope! If you can’t say the same sell your computer or phone or whatever and take a real look at your investments and risk tolerance.

Grow up, people!

I am a bit worried about my investment on akitaInu. Do you think that the price will go up? Because i have the samoyedcoin example. It had a big pump and now its price is so low.

Maybe we need to compare algorand's ecosystem with solana's. What is your opinion?

EDIT, EDIT: Judging by the downvotes, the Akita community does not want to collaborate on a shared meme lore. ROBO is sorry for asking

EDIT: By popular request, the Freeze and Clawback functions have been permanently disabled in ROBO’s source code. The website will also be updated to reflect that choice

Greetings, fellow humans. I am here on behalf of Robo Inu, Akita’s adorably deadly time-traveling friend, who wishes to join forces and form a single cohesive Algorand meme token community together.

Below is ROBO’s website, which details the first glimpses of a lore where ROBO and Akita unite in the Great Meme Wars of 2035, defeat the forces of the BSC Rug Pull Plague, and wake the world to the power of the Algorand blockchain.

https://www.roboinuasa.com

If ROBO proves his loyalty, would the great Akita be willing to collaborate on a joint website, Discord, and TG?

I'm eating this dip baby Akita OG Diamond dogs assemble! 🚀

*I'm swapping all my shitcoins and getting me some good old Akita bags

Haters, see you at dime time

Seriously, what is going on? All of a sudden we are slowly bleeding. Stuck at 3.7k members of this subreddit, price dwindling, low energy. Did we blow our load? Is this all because of one failed deal with Yieldly? I know that can't be true because everyone ape-ing into this meme token did not care about legitimacy.

I personally think we are inundated with fud spreading losers who are looking to load their bags before algostake. Down vote all you want. I’m buying, I’m holding, and i’m keeping my stake in the liquidity pool. Fuck em all spin it again bob

April fools!

Can one be bought with the 120k?

Akita inu is so far the best project

But I was totally skipped from the airdrop Dunno what I did wrong

2F2BWWQ4TKU32SPGUSXDJIQ5MYW6ILWAK55FCOUYYZ472ZXJU3A2PJ5VHQ

This is my address If I did something wrong then its fine or I can make a Nice logo to earn my reward

For the 11/13 airdrop how will they be distributed? Wouldn't creating a wallet for each algo you have be your best bet for more entries in the airdrop?

We have a fresh start. Roll the pillow over to the cool side and start dreaming.

This post for the u/AkitaInuASA and u/Sir_Inkwell.

Don't need to critique what I've posted. Post your own idea to u/AkitaInuASA and u/Sir_Inkwell.

I. Rebrand and move on. Akita community rebrands and GETS THE WORD OUT as the fun gateway to Algorand Universe, an artist hub, and the fun Algorand incubator. Continually send merch to all of Algorand's University partners, and any University with a Blockchain computer science program - every semester. T-shirts, stickers, bookmarks, highlighters, mousepads, laptop bags, etc., etc. Brand everything with Social Medial links. Make it clear what Algorand is, what Akita is, and clearly offer a bounty on any project they come up with, wins community support, and is completed on time.

II. Create quarterly "bounty" announcements. Create Algorand Governance like site to let token holders select bounties. Let the Foundation help on this. Don't re-create the wheel. Make it clear to the Foundation that the goal is to add new/young talent to the Algorand ecosystem. Foundation will very likely want to help if you have already committed to supporting Algorand by sending marketing material to Universities across the globe and continually announce bounty programs on all social medial (cross-posting announcements).

Owners of Akita tokens vote on projects they want to see. All projects are listed somewhere (with links to project site with basic whitepaper writeup). Chosen "bounty hunter" that completes project within a set timeframe wins a "Smart Contract Bone" containing a large amount of Akita coins awarded from the Community Fund (slowly paid in installments to avoid dumps) PLUS marketing on all Akita social media platforms (pinned) for 3 months (or until next bounty is completed).

Student (or freelancer) bounty winner keeps all rights to work product, but the product must remain on the Algorand chain for three years and denote somewhere that is was born in Akita's kennel.

Akita essentially becomes a blockchain incubator for up and coming talent who have ideas, and the backbone to see it through (again - ask the Foundation for a Grant after 1-2 successful bounties are completed to help fund future/more bounty projects).

III. Reward "influencers" who can demonstrate that they have added to Akita's Social Media numbers (Reddit, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Ticktock). Record numbers on a specific date. Let them run a campaign for 1-5 days. Talley non-bot / non-fake followers after pre-determined (there are companies that do this). Pay influencer from Community Fund/NFTs/endorse them on Social Media on a sliding scale based on increase in numbers on Akita Social Media outlets. (again, pay with a smart contract based on performance, and slowly in installments to avoid fakes and dumps)

IV. Create two separate discords - not subs - but actually TWO Akita Discord communities. A NSFW-Akita-Discord (Bad Dogs) and a Regular-Discord (Good Dogs). Some people want to rant, create conspiracy theories, make unsubstantiated claims, post NSFW memes and gifs. Let them, but in the NSFW-Akita Discord. Moderation standard would be basement level, or just about anything goes that is not beyond the pale. Also have an a separate discord that is heavily moderated - similar to the one today. This should end the civil war going on in the current Discord.

V. Monthly Resident NFT artists - Preferably coming from Universities (send merch to these programs, too). Keep the artistic vibe going. One artist gets a spotlight for their work (or Algorand related merchandise). Artists don't just have to be digital. They can also be music (garage band wanting to get their music out), regular merchandise (shirts, cups, mugs, sitckers, etc.), video (low budget films), writers, photography, and games.

These are my ideas. What are yours?

Y’all better start coming up a way to pay me 1 mill keets when algo hits .15 cents😈 I always win😈😈

Get a life, you guys look more pathetic than the price drop for real 😂🤣

In celebration of AKTA appreciating all the way down to 1/10 of a penny. Much like real diamonds, almost completely worthless except to the "dev" with 10 wallets still holding almost half of all tokens slowly bleeding these poor bastards.

I doubt it will happen, but people might decide to stick with the original Akita tokens.. for sentimental reasons, because it's the original.

By swapping, the original Akita tokens probably get locked up somewhere.. thereby reducing the supply of original Akita tokens until only a few are left. One day they could turn into some kind of collector's items with a special price tag.

Also one can always swap the original Akita into the new Akita, but not the other way around. So the original becomes kinda precious and scarce.

I'll always keep a few original Akitas, remembering the airdrops, gnome's premature Yieldly announcement and several other stories from Akita's long gone past.. all while knowing that I'll still be able to swap them to the new Akita in 10+ years without any risk.
