Hello Saturnauts!
Our Written AMA session on Discord with the Saturna devs is underway! This post is to serve as a connector between Saturnauts on different platforms, allowing those who miss out or don't use Discord to read the answers to community questions as well as discuss them.
Discord: https://discord.gg/saturna
The questions from the community have already been submitted, and I will update this post as they are answered. Tycho on Discord is serving as the team member to share these answers with us, and Knockers will be asking the questions.

"Why text based and not live stream?"
Well, we believe that since we're so early into this project, it would make more sense to do a written AMA, one that would give us time to know the community concerns and respond accordingly while also protecting everyone's privacy and investments, since we've all seen how badly live AMAs can go. Until we have someone that could handle the PR side of things in a proper way, this will be our choice.
"When will a listing appear on CoinGecko?"
CoinGecko was applied to on the day of the launch, it's pretty much out of our hands now and depends on the backlog of projects they have to go through.
"What are you doing for marketing? When will marketing be launched in full?"
Marketing is consistently ongoing. The tweets and tiktoks you see around don't magically appear. While partnerships have been announced daily since our launch just a week ago, these are just our first steps as this exposure creates more brand recognition. Based on discussions we've had recently, you should expect to see more names begin to surface that will be specifically be targeted at our userbase. We also onboarded new marketing partners this week (you might have seen them on our website) who have been helping us with influencer outreach.(Which yeah, even my non-crypto friends have started mentioning seeing Saturna pop up on their feed.)
"Who were the partners that were revealed on Dione?"
Partners revealed on Dione were Travladd and rapper Hi-Rez, they are helping us with marketing and influencer outreach, that might bring some surprises in the near future!
"Do you guys have any long term objective for the token? Any possible use case?"
Our long-term objectives are the same as yours. Take this to the next moon and the moon after that. If you've been paying attention to the market, utility is currently secondary to ensuring that there is excitement in the community. Nonetheless we understand that we have the opportunity to push Saturna further with utility applications, some of which we have already announced plans for.
As you've likely seen, our NFT Marketplace is well in the works and I believe that will make $SAT stand out in terms of utility from similar tokens. Also when you consider how much new money continues to flood into BSC, with our branding and marketing, we have the tools to compete with some of the larger names in the space.
"When will the merch shop be released?"
Materials are already on the way! We have partnered with some talented artists and will be printing shirts in a few days and begin to list them for sale. For 10 Lucky Saturnauts, that'll mean a free drop which we will announce as the first batch are completed! We will be looking into a way of allowing merch purchases with $SAT although that is not a certainty yet.
"Can we get the website updated with more moon landings? The community loves to hit stretch goals. We should have a "landing" for each of the 82 moons!"
Well you've certainly haven't made our tasks easier by shooting up to now 40K holders in a little over 5 days and breaking all kinds of BSC records hahaha. With so many "landings" in 1 week you have basically forced our hand and we have been working our asses off to deliver, some of us have been sleeping 4/5 hours a day for the last week. We certainly have plans to increase and add more goals as the growth continues, and we hope that materializes soon.
"When is the next audit? Solidity Finance isn't a real audit as I've seen most coins that are audited now are audited by them and most had rug pulls."
Solidity provides exactly what people ask for, an audit. They do not make guarantees that any particular project is or is not a rug pull. They simply provide information in a more digestible format that is readily available to the public and people do with that information what they will. We already had a second audit done by Techrate (released yesterday), and a 3rd Audit is paid and underway. Both audits already out confirm and clear up most doubts.
This project has ownership-renounced, and 99% of the LP has been burned (locked forever). There is no way for us or anyone else to adulterate or manipulate the contract in any way shape or form. The contract is engraved forever in the binance smart chain, immutable, at your disposal to consult it as you wish, that's the beauty of the blockchain.
Okay, so this next one is a bit of a doozy. I know it's what everyone's been asking: "A dox will help. A lot of people are willing to put large amounts in the coin after you dox."
We put a lot of effort into guaranteeing the legitimacy and security of this token for all, as seen by the 2 audits mentioned above, to the liquidity locked forever, and the renounced contract, that should assure everyone about the legitimacy and "unruggable" state of the project. I believe Doxxing is not the be-all, end-all of crypto projects. SafeMoon has been an even larger success and managed to do so without any of their team doxxing until they were way over 1B marketcap, and a couple months in, and we all know at least a couple of gigantic coins that have anonymous teams. I can think of a couple ones that you use or hear about every day (PancakeSwap and Bitcoin).
Doxxing is not a decision that can be taken lightly, already, we've been blackmailed by a person that infiltrated our TG modchat. That person was kicked out after trying to disseminate chaos and immediately resorted to extortion. These are the kind of situations we expose ourselves to everyday in the wild west of crypto, even while anonymous, so imagine if we were doxxed. Some of us also work other jobs and have careers that would not allow us to doxx at the moment. Crypto is also a highly volatile market where we are exposed to a multitude of events outside of our control, as we saw from the aftermath of yesterday's Elon Tweet, or BSC issues.
Anonymity and privacy are the cornerstones of cryptocurrency , and people's wishes to their privacy should be respected. If you still don't feel comfortable putting your own money up, then to be completely blunt, I suggest that you don't do it.
That's not to say a doxx won't happen a bit further down the line, and we will be looking into that possibility as the project matures and we gain some structure, but right now I ask that you give us space to do what we do best: put our heads down to work on getting the best out of this.
"How large is the dev team and are there any other core members?"
We are a group of individuals of different backgrounds and origins, with experience in marketing, development, management, some in the crypto industry. And while running a project of this scale is totally new to us we believe our experience summed up gives us the tools to build the project into something even more special.
I can't respond about specific numbers because we don't have a set structure yet, and we are still trying to find our ground and are actively looking to recruit people from the community that would be of value to the project, this is a community-driven project after all.
Being a community-driven project I think this is important to nail down: "Would the dev team say they prefer cats, or dogs?"
Dogs, but please no more Shibas, yesterday was sad enough. :'(
"Do you have any plans to make this token have real life usage to help push the price long term? Through partnerships with other companies or brands for example? Or is it just NFT based?"
We are definitely looking for ways to give extra utility to the project and token that allows it to stand out from other "meme" coins, NFT marketplace is just the start.
"Where do you see this coin in 2 months?"
I see a well structured team, with goals and ambitions and a vibrant community and platform that can compete well with other tokens of the same kind in the BSC ecosystem.
Yes and while we have a great team: "Will there be some way for community to be involved in decision making and coin utility? Are there any plans for this?"
We are currently accepting staff applications. Feel free to check it out at this link: https://forms.gle/vSsB1idF6rK9tPMV7
We have an experienced team with several connections in the space but, while comfortable, we're always looking for new ideas and avenues to innovate. This is a community-run project, and with so many talented people out there, we'd be missing a major opportunity by not pursuing what we have in our 40k Holders. Reach out, and we're happy to make you a big part of this team if you can show you bring the value. (This is a key one, definitely excited to see some more hands moving this ship. Already have some great applications but we'll really be combing this over the next few days.)
"Will you be reaching out to any well-known figures on social media for advertisements of Saturna on their account? Would help to further spread the word."
This is well underway. Payments have already been sent to some key influencers and we should see their reach expanding in the next couple of days and weeks. Naturally, you can expect them to be well connected and it won't be long until the names get bigger and bigger.
Trust me, we have some big news coming that way.
Here's a fun one, hope we don't draw too much heat: "What makes this a better token than Bonfire?"
Speed, outreach, and polish. There are a lot of great aspects to Bonfire, we're not trying to dismiss anything that is happening over there, they're truly a fantastic success story. But we're our own entity and have sprinted to a level of growth that we believe gives us better long-term momentum.
We have some serious plans coming as our holders expand and we expect to make realistic promises that our team are intent on delivering. That said, our success is not tied to that of Bonfire, and there is no need to stir that kind of competition. There's plenty of success available for all tokens.
(Realistic promises are key, but I can confirm that what is possible in our reality is going to be some exciting stuff.)
"What about points from previous milestones that were promised such as:
-Community Contest-Second Audit Submission-10k Giveaway-Second CEX?"
So for the centralized exchange listings, and with the growth we experienced from the start, we decided to pursue exchanges which would let us get our foot through the door faster.
The first CEX we applied for (and already paid) is actually the one which is delayed, Bilaxy process was finalized in a little over 1 day. I think we are the first token with reflection they are listing and they're trying to implement a way to make taxes work inside the exchange, that's why its taking longer.
(Was also surprised that a lot of these exchanges haven't been set up yet for these types of coins. Good opportunity then though.)
The first community contest has already been finalized on Twitter and prizes handed out to 3 winners, and the second audit from Techrate just came out yesterday. The 10K giveaway should be announced shortly.
Here's the most important question of the AMA coming up:
"In your opinion, who is the most attractive celebrity?"
Madison Beer (Good choice)
"Can we put in a voting system for proposed ideas/plans? e.g. Vote with your wallet size."
That is an interesting idea and we will look into how that would be feasible.
So here's a more technical one: "What do you think about this paper by notsafemoon (https://notsafemoon.com/public/docs/MoonCoinsTA.pdf) that disclosed issues with "safemoon" derivative projects (lopsided liquidity dumps among other thing) ? They even put a twitter bot tracker for Saturna, example, (https://twitter.com/NotSafeMoon/status/1392636530158563331)"
So for me personally, I haven't read that paper so I can't attest to its quality or truthiness. There are a couple minor known bugs with Safemoon forks, but now that the contract is deployed and renounced, there is nothing we can do about it. However, most of these issues are negligible, the famed "contract dump" for example only happened in Fairmoon because they had significantly lower Total Supply than Safemoon and didn't account for that variable when changing it. For forks with the same Total Supply as Safemoon, that shouldn't be a problem.
