Hi, just registered because of this project, because I have been following it for couple of weeks.

Why exactly is it reasonable to participate in ICO? What would I gain by holding TRACE tokens bought at an ICO price?

How does OriginTrail differ from similiar projects that address supply chain traceability issues through blockchain (Ambrosus, Modum etc.?).

What is Walmart's role in all this?

thx for reply in advance.

Hi, I had a lecture yesterday at an insurance company and we were discussing your case. The question that was raised is if the protocol is compatible with logistic companies (and IoT data) as well to determinate who is liable for the damages. For example, can we use https://origintrail.io/token-sale/ for tracking if the goods were corrupted during transport based on let's say sensor data in the truck? Tnx.

detailed content and has a strong team, if this really work then it will provide a good information for the web and it will be very useful for Many companies.

Thanks for your support!

TRACE is a utility token that will be required for any use of the protocol (adding data to it or reading from it). The most important function of the token itself is therefore to be used in the ecosystem. Because Trace is limited in number, higher demand for it driven by the users of the protocol will increase its value. A model showing the demand based on certain usage phases will be released in the next weeks for the community to see.


OriginTrail protocol functions as a “middleware” built on top of different blockchain technologies on one side and applications for supply chains on the other. Our protocol adds to the blockchain layer through an off-chain decentralized network of nodes that provide an efficient way to store supply chain data and perform necessary data checks (consensus check between inputs of partners in supply chains, data replication checks, data quality checks involving a tailored zero-knowledge proof mechanism for sensitive data...). OriginTrail as a tailor-made protocol for supply chains therefore complements other platforms/blockchains/applications/hardware in the field by providing functionalities that currently don’t exist and will make building transparency in supply chains easier for them.

The crucial bottlenecks OriginTrail will help others address are:
1) poor interoperability of data within supply chains (or even within one organisation);
2) inadequacies of blockchains to efficiently store highly interconnected data needed for supplychain;
3) issues with sensitive data that make companies more reluctant to share data.


Walmart has given us a great recognition by admitting us in their Innovation Pipeline. We were even more excited as our pilot project with Yimishiji (an online retailer) received a special Food Safety Award at the same time. In more tangible terms, being a part of this ecosystem will give us a chance to collaborate with other companies in the Pipeline and shape how food safety systems will look in the future. In the process, we will be working with a wide network of Retail & Logistics professionals from Walmart and beyond, with experience in implementation in global supply chains. We will shortly share more updates about this development.

Be sure to join us on Telegram to chat with the team: http://bit.ly/OriginTrailTelegram

Great to hear that you used OriginTrail as a case, that’s very cool!

TLDR: Yes, that would make a great use-case.

The protocol is both ERP-agnostic and blockchain agnostic. It is based on GS1 standards, so it can be set up with any product supply chain and can include IoT data from sensors. By providing integrity to the data sent from the sensors, OriginTrail can act as a foundation that supports exactly such cases. It boils down to creating accountability using decentralization, hope to see that case in reality soon :)

Ok, I get it. Thank you for your answer.

Why do all tokens have such high minimum buy amounts? I would love to support some projects, but am ready to give around 10€, not 50ETH.

I'm right here with you. While I understand that this is a pre-sale where there are usually larger minimum buy amounts. Still 50 ETH is pushing it. I know people that would invest 1-2 ETH, but not 50.

$10 however is definitely something that is only for the crowdsale.

will wait for the crowdsale.

Recently a very popular way to white list promotions, I did not see the total amount of coins and distribution programs, I have a question, why the minimum purchase is 50eth?

Ok, maybe I exaggerated about 10€, but I just wanted to tell the point. Still if I wait for crowdsale, I won't get the discount :P

Total amount of tokens can be seen on the roadmap on their site (500 mil). Regarding 50 ETH for the presale, it really seems absurd. I hope they change this to at least 10 ETH, if not 5 ETH (with this rise in ETH price and all...). I really don't like the idea of whales getting an upper hand on the discount. This seems to be such a nice project, they should fix this. How about it?

You can invest in ICO and not preICO. If ETH price will increase for 20% til new year and that is possible in such hype as Crypto have right now you will not lose anything. You will get same amount of tokens as first round  PreICO investors.

Minimum buying of 50 ETH in pre-sale is way too high for many people. You have your own policy but lot of small investors will have to wait for normal sale to participate in this project. This will be common concern as some have already showed this requirement is too strict. Only big investors will be able to get high bonus.

I also would like to wait for details about ICO structure the requirement of pre-ICO is not fit for me because of high amount required to contribute during this phase. Let's wait how this will get response from investors.

Any airdrop?

Airdrop is a super cool idea.  ;D

is there a bounty programme?|Good luck!

Dear all, thanks for the positive feedback about the project. We were aiming for broad access to our crowdsale since the beginning, that’s why hard cap of the presale is maxed at 50 % of the total hard cap.

Today we revealed final dates for the crowdsale and updated this announcement accordingly. Due to the strong interest, we decided to allow the acceptance of lower contributions already in the presale. At the same time, we joined the presale with the crowdsale. You can read about the other reasons for that in a new blog post: http://bit.ly/tokensale-final-dates-revealed

Yes, we are preparing a bounty program, you can expect details soon.

What is the minimum eth required to enter presale?

The exact threshold needs to be defined, but it will be less than 50 ETH - we value the feedback from the community. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter on our website and you will be the first to know.

Thanks for listing us!

Hi Sir can I ask for difference from wabi?

Of course, thanks for your question. OriginTrail is actually a complementary solution and is blockchain-agnostic. As a protocol, we are solving the interconnectedness of supply chain data. OriginTrail is a middleware layer that tackles interoperability of data (through the consensus checks that the system provides -
between all parties that are involved in a certain supply chain) and constraints of the blockchain scalability (fingerprinting minimizes the data actually stored on a blockchain).

CEO Tomaz gave a very content-heavy live interview to the leading Austrian startup medium yesterday. It's accessible on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/derBrutkasten/videos/2000420656848490/

Enjoy  8)

Did any one of you did some research about the project?

Yeah, why?

Big investors ... big bonuses ... huge price drop after exchange listing. 50 ETH ... 35k ... really 2much. What is minimum for crowd sale?

Do you see WaBi as a competition?
Is that your strength, you are in the middle between all parties involved in supply chain?
How will you deal with all data you will have (from producer, distribution, market...)?

there are concepts in the field with similar mission to OriginTrail, even though they are taking various different angles with their ideas. From our experience, though, it will have to be a collaborative effort to tackle this problem and we are approaching it as such through an entirely decentralised open protocol that fosters data exchange between different organisations and data sources. OriginTrial protocol will not do lots of things but it will do those that we found out to be crucial for building transparency and it will do them in the most optimal way.
On top of this protocol, we will see applications get developed that will be able to utilise this infrastructure for different use cases.

Our newest BOUNTY program is a call to our Ambassadors.

We will distribute 22,100 TRAC tokens each week to the first 100 Ambassadors.
1st 🏆 5,000 tokens
2nd 🥈 2,000 tokens
3rd 🥉 1,000 tokens
4th–25th 💎 300 tokens
26th–100th 🔑 100 tokens

Hello!

I would appreciate a more simplistic explanation of your utility token. Who would be your customer and why would they buy your token? Is it meant for an end-consumer who wants to check if something really was made in let say Sweden instead in China? Or is it meant more for supply chain stakeholders to make some sort of inventory checks? Sorry, really bad in this field and is hard for me to understand the scope of it :)

Additional, what is your business model? One part is obviously selling tokens. Are there any additional revenue streams planned?

Thanks!

OriginTrail is selected by ICO Drops!  :D  See https://icodrops.com/origintrail/ (https://icodrops.com/origintrail/)

Thanks for your interest! OriginTrail is a protocol, so our main targets for use are supply chain stakeholders as well as developers that can build decentralized apps (dapps) on top of it. One of the possible apps can be made also for end-consumers to check the origin of the products. But the consumers do not necessarily need a token for that - companies that benefit from this solution can pay with tokens to nodes. Inventory checks are also one of many possible solutions.

Additional revenue stream can be developing apps for companies on top of the protocol (but it will also be open to other developers). More on that will be published soon in a blog post.

Soft cap is 15M usd for presale and ico, what about the hard cap?

Soft cap is USD 5 m. Hard cap is USD 22.5 m.

I see only Translation Bounty Campaign, but what about media bounty? I would like to write an article

Thanks for your interest! We just announced a new version of Ambassadors Bounty Program: http://bit.ly/OTAmbassadorsWeek2

Using blockchain to end paperwork and bringing transparency to business is a necessity ... I see many advantages for honest companies that do their accounting reliably. For these, the attractiveness to investors will be greater. However dishonest ones....   ::)

Just finished reading the white paper and going through the site.

Good luck. i will defenetly investing.

Is there any sort of bounty campaigns running?

Bit confused with bounty.. How to get trac for social media like FB/Twitter/Bitcointalk etc ?  Didnt see a way to do it except telegram. Please help

I think all infos are in here: https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-calls-for-ambassadors-of-the-supply-chain-revolution-driven-by-blockchain-bde39a532aed

Does the team have any vesting of the tokens?

Yes, we do. Founders and team members will receive 12,5% of their tokens every 3 months over first two years.

it's a beautiful and different project. do you have a bounty campaign?
 I'd like to participate in the bounty campaign? I wish you success. I'm following this project.

So now when we got mail to log to our account. We basically , if we see all data right already, dont need to do anything? Just log in and out?

Yes, it's just a proof that your account is indeed active. Thanks!

Thanks ICOcheck!

We also announced our Bug Bounty today:
http://bit.ly/OT-bug-bounty

We have prepared short ICO report on OriginTrail. Check it out. Short & sweet reading: https://cointldr.com/origintrail-ico-report

First I heard from the project when they were pitching in Vienna at HERO. After talking more time with researching it I must say this project is more than promising. I am studying management accountant and logistics and recently we had a discussion about the problem of tracking goods along the whole supply chain. Of, course there are also some other projects which tackling this problem but this particular one is one of the most promising in my opinion. Already excited who you guys are doing during the sale and especially afterward. However, I am on board  ;D

The concept of the project Origintrail is very good and very easy to understand. and the purpose of the project is also very well explained. It seems this project will get very good attention by many investors just prove this project has been running not too

I also believe this project has great potential.
Unfortunately I can't participate in the first day token sale.

It looks like it took only 20 minutes of presale that all tokens were sold.  A Total of 1240 events found, so should be less that that many buyers.

hey
do you have a bounty campaign open?

The ICO is over already so Bounties should be closed usually ;-)

oh, that was fast...
but ICO is already over completely, right? now only possible to buy when it hit exchanges?

Yeah the ICO was sold extremely fast. Exactly, we have to wait now for some exchanges, might need some time but they are doing a great job so far ;-)

thanks for the heads up
will keep an eye into that.

Curious about OriginTrail Token Sale? We reveal how 1184 TRAC token holders acquired the tokens last week, from which countries they come from and how much did they contribute. As a cherry on the top, we are also revealing some plans. Enjoy the reading and thank you so much for supporting OriginTrail. Trace on!

Token Sale Recap: Retrospective, stats & the future

OriginTrail’s token sale was successfully finished by reaching the project hard cap on the 17th of January 2018 at 15:18 UTC. After the presale round 1, on the 15th of January 2018, we got contributions of $5.3 mm (soft cap), which secured that the vision of the decentralized purpose-build protocol for supply chains will come to life. We continued the token sale after a 24h break on the 17th of January 2017 with all addresses that passed KYC added to whitelist. On this day, two important milestones were met — OriginTrail reached the presale hard cap ($10 mm) and as the crowdsale continued the overall project hard cap ($22.5 mm) as well. The token sale was successfully finished in 18 minutes after opening the presale round 2 at 15:00 UTC. In this blog post, we can share the most vital token sale stats and reveal future plans for OriginTrail.

https://medium.com/origintrail/token-sale-recap-retrospective-stats-the-future-55a00c6f5673

This is a pretty good project. OriginTrail is the first purpose-built protocol enabling blockchain supported data sharing in supply chains. I missed the ICO, I just bought TRACE at a price of 0.2usd. It has X2 over the ICO price. That's an acceptable price.
We can buy here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/origintrail/#social

Is there a bonus on contribution?

Was a bit sad to have missed out on the ICO on this one. Really interesting project and will be keeping up to date :)

IDEX and Etherdelta trading it,check coinmarketcap,missed ico also,but bought at exchange,price keep growing .


When Binance?  ;D

OriginTrail (TRAC) (https://coincodex.com/crypto/origintrail/) is now listed on CoinCodex!

https://i.gyazo.com/e92462df7b21c7f22a480d9dfb34dd25.png (https://coincodex.com/crypto/origintrail/)

Hello! I was very interested in your project!
Please answer the following questions:
1) Who will use, in what sphere is claimed, which companies support the projects and how seriously. How do developers plan to implement the system in the real segment, does the government support the project?
2) Target audience of the project, marketing, number of seminars in different cities / countries?
3) Token
The use and functions of the token, the volume and speed of emission, other features (whether part of the coins will be frozen and for how long)

Thanks for the info. Wish you luck!  ;)

i feel that this project has reallly great potential. Just bought a bunch.

Seems like a nice project, but this is simply not true (at least the last part):

"Be WARNED that leaking any vulnerability of the platform on any social media platforms or channels will lead to cancellation of Bounty and might also invite legal action."

People discover vulnerabilities all the time and disclose them publicly and they don't need anyone's permission to do so, code is free speech in most western countries.

There are literally websites that have been around for years that are dedicated to archiving exploits for publicly disclosed vulnerabilities in products from companies from Microsoft to Adobe:

https://www.exploit-db.com

So just be aware and maybe make your wording a little closer to reality and understand there is an industry full of precedence. You'll need to work with indepedent bug hunters, but they don't owe you anything (unless they're literally on your payroll).

This project is under radar for a long time.
I am lucky to be able to join the ICO, even without any bonus.
It is attracting more and more attention now. ;D ;D

Hi Guys I am new here. Sorry if it’s a repeat question. I looked into the pinned post and chats but didn’t get info. Where can I buy TRAC coins? Is it available in any exchange already?

I gotta admit when I saw the name pop up on recently added on coinmarketcap I automatically thought of OregonTrail and thought this can't be serious  :D.

But shout to @Febo (as well as a few other mentions) for touting this in the best ICO thread, as it spurred me to do some more digging on this project.

I love supply chain coins and I love the idea of this being a protocol that is blockchain agnostic for supply chain.  Here's a nice write up from a credible crypto Redditor, full disclosure, I believe he was apart of the ambassador program:

i was not lucky to get on ICO but im going to get more once it hits exchange..

this project is somewhat like walton or wabi..

i got both and plan to add trac

thanks

Is there any reason you dont open website and look at it youself? OrginTrail product is mainly used by food industry right now and probably in near future. Since there is probably most important for shops and  inspection and consumers to trail ingredients of the products. But eventually all companies will use this.

quite interesting project
missed the ICO but I'm buying the 3x now before it becomes a 10x.

will keep following for updates.

do you plan on releasing a bounty campaign?

TRAC Will hit worldwide success soon


$0,413090 USD   (23,88%)  
0,00003495 BTC   (17,49%)  
0,00035468 ETH   (13,17%)


if you are smart  buy now  TRAC Will see *** price

No centralized exchange yet ( not that there is something wrong with decentralized but people are just not used to use them) and already $5 millions volume.
And price in ETH is almost x5 :o

https://image.prntscr.com/image/iaMThxN8SW_5eYL8JQhsIg.png

I think this will fly, specially if we hit a big exchange like binance.
are there any news on exchanges listing already?

Looks promising!

Hey mods, what is your plan regarding to marketing? Where do you plan to achive most popularity, in what bussines fields? It would be good to do some signatures campaigns atleast here on forum and social networks. I have feeling that realy small part of people know about potential of this crypto :)

My question to the developers and founders is why they haven't created an online presence yet.

The token is clever. The team is brilliant. You guys have been grinding hard since what, 2013? And you're still at it, working hard like you're still hungry.

TRACE is already a real-world success, it's well-known in the food industry, it has won many awards, and you're already in use. A real working token being used! This is head-and-shoulders above many other cryptocurrencies based on that fact alone.

AND the token can be used in other industries. You guys are going to be the name in supply chain across the globe, I have no doubt of it.

But so many people online haven't ever heard of OriginTrail and TRACE yet. Why not? It's not the end of the world but why aren't Doug Polk, Jimmy Song, Decentralized TV, and the other big Youtube names in crypto talking about TRACE or interviewing you? Being known in the real world was more important than being known in the online world at the onset, I don't dispute that. Now that TRACE has hit the market though and people have invested in it, why not increase that online presence and take it to the moon?

I agree with you statement, their team is already light years away from some ordinary crypto teams that have just finished their ICO phase. Anyway, I hope they will hire some good marketing firm in order to make big exposure on youtube and even social networks. Most other project don't have real life products (or any award) like this one has, but have big marketing team which push them forward.  We'll see what will next 6 months bring to us from..

I think teams main focus now is to expand developers team. I see they choose their central in Belgrade.  With so many ICOs we are slowly entering in phase of extreme lack of block chain developers.  I do think this, attracting block chain developers, will be biggest challenge of ICOs happening in 2018.



LOL, there are no companies that needs trace on youtube. Marketing for sure happen on totally different channels then youtube.

They're already a success everywhere except in the online crypto community. It's the only thing they haven't attempted and conquered, and it requires so few resources to become known and popular online that it's not accurate to say they don't have time or need to reserve their focus for other things.



TRACE will eventually be talked about on Youtube by big names whether the OriginTrail team are active participants or not. The question isn't whether or not they're required to be active participants in promoting TRACE online. The fact is there are lots of reasons to do it now - the token just hit exchanges and it would boost the value immensely, making everyone holding TRACE, including the OriginTrail team, very happy. It would increase their exposure, which every growing company wants.

I'm not picking on them for not having done it yet. I'm just hoping they get to it.

I like this project so much.
They have a working products and partnered with big companies.
When will it be listed on major exchanges?

‼️SCAM ALERT ‼️ The profile @origin_traiI is impersonating our brand and advertising an airdrop. There is no such thing. THAT ACCOUNT IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ORIGINTRAIL - STAY SAFE!
https://twitter.com/origin_trail

OriginTrail (TRACE)  has been the TOKEN with highest volume in IDEX since it was listed there.
We can expect it will be noticed by some big exchanges and got listed soon.
Grab some while it is still cheap, guys.

Trace has been performing very well since it was distributed.
I am pretty confident about its future. Top100 at least.

Already holding a good bag of TRACE and I plan on adding as much as I can on the continuous dips.

Pretty confident about its future!

I guess people know this will be big :D otherwise there would be no point impersonating an ICO on Twitter.

OriginTrail is the first purpose-built protocol for supply chains based on the blockchain.

TRACE is now on hitbtc, which is not bad.
I do believe it will be listed on bittrex or binance soon. It has so much potential.

This is great, but 222TRAC deposit fee, are they retarded on hitbtc?

That is unacceptable.
I will wait for it to be listed on bittrex or binance.

HitBTC is known of high withdrawal fees.   And since you mention Binance. That exchange is known of high withdrawal fees also.  So no need to hope for Trace to list there.

Listing on HitBTC (February 03)
https://coindar.org/en/event/origintrail-trac-listing-on-hitbtc-2948

I am talking about deposit fee!!! Totally retarded move from hitbtc.

I never used hitbtc and will never try it.
The UI is horrible.

The US’s two major financial regulatory authorities have announced that they will hold a dedicated hearing on virtual currencies on February 6, 2018.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will meet to discuss what an advance notice describes as their “oversight role”, as the industry becomes an increasingly prioritized focus of lawmakers around the world. Sources= https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-sec-cftc-to-focus-100-on-crypto-in-dedicated-hearing-next-week

LOL a deposit fee. LOL   why coins even apply to such exchanges is beyond my imagination.

I remember times when exchanges were giving you % of coins if you deposited there.

 :D I wouldn't go that far...

You acting as if Binance listing is a bad thing, but it's one of the best things currently in the industry when it comes to adding liquidity to a coin.  There withdrawal fees are higher than Bittrex, but their trade fees are MUCH better than Bittrex's especially if you use BNB.  So you can pick your poison when it comes to that.  most people do a lot more trading than withdrawing.

The fees suck, sure, but not to the point we shouldn't be hoping for a listing on Binance

Where are the community for this wonderful project?
It will be a top100 project soon.

We have an active community on our Telegram channel and reddit. See the links on the front page of this thread! The Telegram community has close to 10,000 members now (still growing!), and admins/devs regularly hang out there to answer questions.
Everyone's very accessible and open to questions or suggestions, so please don't hesitate to come and talk to us!  :)

I think right now the devs are working on testnet in preparation of mainnet that should happen in Q3 of this year, with news on incentivizing nodes (masternodes) coming out in a few weeks when more data is available from testnet. You can check the project's roadmap here
https://origintrail.io/roadmap (https://origintrail.io/roadmap), and there's a few posts on OriginTrail's blog describing the progress, such as https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-alpha-network-deployed-and-tested-on-the-yimishiji-use-case-what-are-the-next-steps-c18068769ac2 (https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-alpha-network-deployed-and-tested-on-the-yimishiji-use-case-what-are-the-next-steps-c18068769ac2)

I hope they can come through on this.
A lot of projects I follow don't release reports or official updates for period that're way too long in the current crypto enviornment.

Thanks for making this wonderful report.
With such a solid team, I don't worry about Origin Trail's future at all.

There is huge difference between Hong Kong and Shanghai. Since Hong Kong was British till 20 years ago, they still have some sovereignty and are economically more liberal for foregoing companies.  I am sure that was main reason to pick Asian office there.

What do you guys think of wallet investors price prediction. Realistic or miles off?

I had to google it. Had no ideas what it is.  They probably use technical analysis. It dont work out. if it would then some people would be infinity rich. or most people would be infinity rich. Already from stocks why would even bother with crypto that is risky investment.

LOL: 5 years prediction is $1750.  I guess at that time you will be able to buy bread with $1000.

How many tokens does one need for a masternode?

\
no, it's 1 point 75 USD
http://prntscr.com/igb7y2

I think last statement was that it is not necessary masternodes will be needed.  They set up the date at when they will reveal informations about this. Let me find it for you. It was post on reddit that quoted telegram post of a developer.

https://i.gyazo.com/aa9c266a0b0a614fc778dc2c3f1f15c6.png

I know OriginTrail has an vibrant Telegram channel, but it would be great if this thread can be more active.
We need to attract more investors to this great project.

It is you who can make it more active. Find some news and post them here. If you are on telegram post what you find interested from there.  Dats the only way.

What I found is this recent interview with CEO in Shanghai http://www.techinshanghai.com/ziga-drev-origintrail/

And that OrginTail visited Ethereum Alliance meetup in London recently.    I personally find this Alliance a bit silly but that is just me.

Trace Alliance — the collaborative hub for the resolution of supply chain challenges, using blockchain technology

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*CyEGYxOL3yyabT5XIOKeDQ@2x.jpeg

Having recently demonstrated what OriginTrail’s technology is capable of delivering in relevant supply chain environments globally, our team has sparked great interest from industry stakeholders. From companies who want to use the protocol as end users, to those who want to implement the protocol in their existing applications (service providers), different individual developers, knowledge centric companies, the TRAC token community and others.

When thinking how to interconnect with these differing stakeholders and entities, we attempted to identify the most lean method of utilizing the knowledge and capabilities available to benefit all. We designed and initiated an ecosystem of parties interested in OriginTrail, which will act as a collaboration hub, called the “Trace Alliance”. https://medium.com/origintrail/trace-alliance-the-collaborative-hub-for-the-resolution-of-supply-chain-challenges-using-35e3eb9f7d7f

OriginTrail is proud to announce a pilot project with TagItSmart sensors whereby it will provide supply chain data integrity with the OriginTrail protocol alpha version. This announcement marks the successful completion of the first phase of the pilot project — the data integration phase. In cooperation with Internet-of-Things (IoT) solutions provider DunavNET, the project will enable wine producer Plantaze to showcase the veracity of their premium, award-winning wine. This is the first project where OriginTrail will be used for data coming from smart tags and the entities engaging them, which will enable the tracking of more than 15,000 unique wine bottles with the company’s protocol and TagItSmart solutions.

Wine is one of the most counterfeited products in the world. This not only poses harm to brands and wineries that are producing wine of the highest quality, it is also a public health hazard, since some of the counterfeit ingredients can be poisonous. In China, by some estimates, as much as 50% of all wine sold is counterfeit or mislabeled to deceive consumers.

OriginTrail’s decentralized, blockchain-based protocol provides a foundation for tracking wine from the vineyard to the point of sale as a safety measure alongside TagItSmart’s anti-counterfeit technology, utilizing photochromic ink together with unique QR codes. TagItWine is one of the pilots of the TagItSmart project, which is devoted to brand protection and anti-counterfeiting in the wine industry. The project is being implemented in collaboration with the wine producer Plantaze from Montenegro, an up-and-coming wine region in Southern Europe.

Plantaze’s premium and ultra-premium wines, consisting mostly of red and sparkling wines, are sold in more than 35 countries all over the world. The company just expanded its distribution to the Chinese market which highly values European wines. That is why it was actively seeking a way to prove the veracity and authenticity of origin for each bottle.

Utilizing Smart Sensors to Prevent Wine Fraud — OriginTrail’s Pilot With TagItSmart

https://medium.com/origintrail/utilizing-smart-sensors-to-prevent-wine-fraud-origintrails-pilot-with-tagitsmart-1949dc62113f


And seems no one posted this video yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3gcQAYIMGQ

Just bought my first bag of Trac, hoping to accumulate more in the next couple of days. Lovely project and congrats on the Wine-traching pilot!

It looks like a good project with a real use case.

If you want to read up on the wine-pilot, you should read this article: https://medium.com/origintrail/utilizing-smart-sensors-to-prevent-wine-fraud-origintrails-pilot-with-tagitsmart-1949dc62113f

Indeed a strong project with a lot of real use cases.

It is hard to say, but I think price bottomed. Usually after ICO ends and coins get listed on exchanges there price goes up and then slowly decrease in upcoming weeks. After some time it reach bottom and then start slowly increasing. Additional exchanges will just be bigger legs up.

I am glad that I invested in OriginTrail ICO and keep my TRAC all the way.
It is making progress all the time.
We have so much to expect ahead.

Quite detailed Roadmap of Q2 2018 was just posted on the website: https://origintrail.io/roadmap

Basically they set themselves milestones every two weeks. It will be nice to monitor how seriously they will accomplish their tasks.


Apparently we will also see a February report soon.  And as soon this token hit one bigger exchange it will fly.

Luna v0.3a (March 12)
https://coindar.org/en/event/origintrail-trac-luna-v03a-5374

That really impresses me.
OriginTrail is one of the hidden gems in the market.
I am surprised why it is not listed on major exchanges yet.

Getting listed on major exchanges takes time, it hasn't been that long since the token came out

I am not in a hurry. It will be listed sooner or later.
BTW, IDEX is a nice exchange, and TRAC was among the tokens with highest trading volume.

Yes. There was lots of said about OrginTrail like it would be here for at least half year. But preIco ended only good month ago. Most other ICOs barely gather people together in this time. OrginTrail was working on their project for past few years and are now with new founds just expanding.

Another thing about exchanges is that you can buy listing. Or you wait and they invite you for free.  Team got ETH from ICO to spend they are in no hurry that TRAC becomes valuable.

Been looking through it = one of London Letter's picks.
Looks solid except for one thing- why would an investor buy TRAC?
Not a dividend-paying share, or an ERC20 placeholder for some future coin.
Not sure if - given the current market- even good projects will without obvious shareholder benefit, such as a master node, reduction on fees, etc..

Thoughts?

If you would have followed the project in more detail you would know that there is a plan to implement master nodes ;-). They should release the information about that in a few weeks as far as I know

According to RoadMap, we should wait 2 big updates in March at aleast:

Luna Release v0.3a - March 12th
Simplified payment mechanism with test tokens
Further alignment with GS1 standards
Luna release introduces the first test compensation system, utilizing tokens on the Ethereum test network. It is intended to be the testbed for experimentation with the protocol mechanisms and determining optimal monetary mechanisms.

Mechta Release v0.4a - March 26th
Fully GS1 standard compliant importer
First version of incentive model documented
Mechta brings a fully compliant GS1 EPCIS (product visibility) standard importer for OriginTrail as well as the documentation of the incentive model to be implemented until the testnet.

In my opinion their roadmap is way too optimistic. Releasing some major milestones every 2 weeks is not possible unless they have an stupidly high (dev) team. But at least it looks nice for investors ;-)

Why would you buy any coin unless you plan to use it?   To sell it expensive to those that will use. 
What coin will achieve that? The one that will be useful in future.



Since milestones are short we will soon see if they can deliver on time. Delivering on time is actually a rare thing in crypto, but OK lets say if they will deliver with less then +30% delay.   We will need to wait only few weeks to see that.

I am glad to see TRAC hold well during this bearish market.
It shows that the community are confident about this project.

Token hit exchanges like 6 weeks ago. As it usually happen there is pump and then slowly price try to find bottom. that si what did happen whole February. Now I think it found bottom and wil try to go up.  Any new serious exchange will give trace huge leg up.

Ofcourse... people absolutley have no idea what this project is... this project is multibilion MC of the bat. Have you seen the patnerships?! This coin is going to 1 billion for sure... if they will get us a legitimate exchange ofcourse...

Go Trac

Do you know how much money is $1 billion if we dont talk about crypto?  There are not that many companies on world worth that much. That si a big problem no one knows how to value crypto projects with its tokens.  It is easier with cryptocurrencies. But reality is that there will be only few that will sayed and the rest will be worth pennies. 

OriginTrail Now Integrates Data from Forensic Laboratories with the Blockchain

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*xMxybzzfY5OXAhsJ1npArQ@2x.jpeg

OriginTrail announced a pilot project with two scientific laboratories. Source Certain International from Australia and Hoan Vu from Vietnam are both focused on verifying the integrity of food supply chains by analyzing samples from batches of food using modern analytical and scientific technologies. OriginTrail’s blockchain-based solution will act as the infrastructure for integrating and distributing data and reports to the laboratories’ clients, extending traceability and providing an additional layer of transparency and trust.

https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-now-integrates-data-from-forensic-laboratories-with-the-blockchain-1e635eb54350

These are great news!

Looking forward to the Luna Release today!

I agree, if the team can deliver. Don't forget that the project is still in its early stages and a lot can go wrong. Still, the potential is there and I'm a happy bagholder!

I am also happy to hold TRAC since the very beginning.
It actually outperformed most of the ICOs in the previous months.

It seems they delivered on time first milestone.

https://github.com/OriginTrail/ot-node/releases

They probably knew those milestones are not that hard to crack. We will see how will go with upcoming milestones. 


Price after hitting bottom at $0.15 now slightly increase. But more or less is stagnant. It is still really good investment for all that are wiling to bother with small exchanges where TRAC is sold. For everyoen else they wil have chance soon on some bigger exchange at slightly higher price.

I think prices in general will not change very much in the near future since there is way too much uncertainty in the whole market. There are basically no new investors due to the bad conditions of the previous months and people who are interested already bought their desired bags - just my opinion

OriginTrail has been one of the most stable coins in my portfolio these weeks. Especially in satoshi, it has outperformed nearly all other coins.

 :-* TRAC

I also noticed that.
It means the community are confident about it.
TRAC will have tremendous growth once the market recover a little bit.

Is not that is just that TRAC hit exchanges like 5-6 weeks ago and then price as usually decrease to found bottom. It found it a week or so ago and after that just cant go lower as the rest of market went last few weeks.   TRAC it simply don't exist long enough to be compared to others.  This month is actually first normal month for TRAC. And from now on we can compare it.

Anyway, I am satisfied with the performance of TRAC so far.
It will be interesting to follow TRAC as it goes to success.

I also like this project so much.
They have a working products and partnered with big companies.

It's also worth noting that the Origin Trail community has recently opened up a discord channel. A number of the OT staff members hold prominent roles in the discord. Trace on!
https://discordapp.com/invite/tyUNmFJ

OriginTrail has been very stable in the last couple of weeks. A lot of other projects have tumbled, especially in sats. Somehow Trac has held up its head quite nicely. Makes me even more bullish!

The Saigon Fellowship - Look who John met! What happens in Saigon stays in Saigon? Not if you are with Mr. John G. Keogh. OriginTrail’s advisor invited founders to Vietnam, shared some wonderful words and announced that a brave hero will run a marathon at the North Pole wearing an OriginTrail T-shirt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=10&v=l1SWBcLtP9s

It is not in english but it is worth to mention since OrginTrail was presented on biggest slovenian commercial television in the prime time of the news.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajrt3fGe-CU&feature=youtu.be

In the video below, Poultry was traced back to the farm each chicken was bred. Pretty cool stuff. The store they were in, Perutnina Ptuj, is a McDonalds supplier and has a Halal certificate as well.

https://twitter.com/origin_trail/status/976112624055275520

Actually pretty cool to see a video of OriginTrail, and to catch a glimpse of how the product will (eventually) work. Great exposure!

TRAC has been among the top trading volume tokens in IDEX since its listing.
I am curious why it is not listed on many major exchanges yet.

Is there a telegram group?

Also - any expectation on when we will find out about MN tiers mins/max?

Telegram channel is here: https://t.me/origintrail_info

I believe the masternode information is being released at the end of the month.

Do you mean the masternode will be released this month or we will know when it will be released this month?
I am sure it will be big day for TRAC community.

Probably we will hear how many TRAC tokens are needed to run a Masternode. Or we will hear the plans from the team with regard to the Masternode structure.

The Masternodes will not be operational before MainNet is released.

We will know if masternoder will be used at all.  I am sure you can find post about what will be said at end of this month in this thread, just few pages left.

It seems the exchange listings started.  KuCoin is I think one of new exchanges. I do expect many exchanges listing TRAC in upcoming months.

OriginTrail was added to TokensRecord ICO Directory. https://tokensrecord.com/project/origintrail

Origin Trail node information was posted recently and can be found below:

https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-alpha-node-v0-4a-mechta-release-is-out-ea31f3c4b872

As always, listing on KuCoin is followed by dump.
But I am not afraid of TRAC's future. There are so many good stuff ahead.

I heard it will be listed on Kucoin :) Hopefully bittrex and binance will follow shortly after. It is a pity actually they do not have a btc pair, fees at iDEX are extremely high... ??????

OriginTrail (https://coincodex.com/crypto/origintrail/) got listed on KuCoin:

https://coincodex.com/article/1456/kucoin-lists-origintrail-havven-and-lympo/

That is old news.
Origin trail has been among the top tokens in kucoin in terms of trade volume since its distribution.
I believe many more exchanges will be interested in listing it if it can be kept that way.

I just bought some extra TRAC on idex. Keep up the good work beautiful people. :wink:

That is news to me. You sure that was the case?

LOL

Why then if you go to https://www.kucoin.com/#/trade/TRAC-ETH   you see trade history only from 26th March?

what are the benefits of holding Trac?

LOL, holding.

There will be benefits of using TRAC. It will for fees for those that will want to trace their product ingredients.   At this point you could say is mostly useless. Soon will be useful for some and still useless of most.  These things evolve so fast so you can never be sure that will be useless for you forever.

What I learned from the update is that the node system will be different from (for instance) VeChain. You can "stake" your TRAC tokens to a node holder right?

Will there be a special wallet for the staking?

If I remember right their plan is to make own blockchain so yes, there will be  wallet for it.   I dont know anything about VeChain. Sorry. 

All this is way to early to bother much.  ICO ended few months ago. Most ICOs would barley gathered half of team in this time.   There will be results but we will have to wait for them a bit.

OriginTrail Community Monthly Report #3: March 2018
https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-community-monthly-report-3-march-2018-1f5e30da654a
March was an important month for OriginTrail’s development. We continued to follow our roadmap and achieved every goal set for this month. Most importantly, we set the foundations for the node incentive model which will provide long-term stability of the decentralized network we are building.

This month’s most visible output was on the development side. We launched 2-week sprint cycles as a way to involve our community and be as transparent as possible on our path to the launch of the test network in June. We also announced two strong partnerships — the world’s first case of connecting and integrating key scientific information with the blockchain, and implementation of the OriginTrail protocol for one of the leading regional commercial real estate developers & FMCG logistics providers. We also set the foundations for more partnership to be announced in the following months.

They are excellent, thorough, intelligent and responsive. I've been around long enough to appreciate this seemingly innocuous detail is indicative overall, of a high quality project.

Thanks for keeping the community up to date.
Although OriginTrail is a young project, its development is impressive.
I am glad to be a long time holder of it.

Someone told me it would require 50k for master node , is he right or speculate ? I can't find official paper about it

You are wrong. You can learn about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OriginTrail/comments/87dop6/qa_with_branimir_rakic_re_incentivised_nodes/

the price of origin trail token stays where it's at but really stable then maybe move a bit if the market moves up but app devs may just use the protocol as a tool and not charge anything therefore price stagnates.

https://i.gyazo.com/07ea867ed272b4b2a06044c185a51b28.png


Seems tomorrow is worth to check often OrginTrail twitter they will give free TRAC to 10 people there.

I dont believe the OT will be giving away any TRAC. Typically, they give out freebies such as t shirts and hoodies. The social media “influencers” working with them may potentially be giving away some free TRAC however.

I think he wanted to know if for a node holder (DH) it takes 50000 trac or not, and maybe even the reward.

The article you kindly posted explains how the reward with contracts, reputation importance, etc. will work. but it does not indicate the amount of Trac that occurs for an NH and which% of ROI I get from it.

This will be indicated shortly by the team

Which excites me about the project now is the list of live use cases of origin trail token. Price are very attractive for the work has done already and that is being done for future enhancement. There is good support on social media by large number of people also my interest also arose seeing some recommendations which leaded me to read about project and finally picked up some.

Imo the market will start to bounce back at end of April/beginning of May. People pullin out of crypto to pay taxes right now.

Ha you are wrong.

https://twitter.com/CryptoShillNye/status/983360777309466624


Two times 500 TRAC. And I think is not OrginTrail that is giving them but some whale.

I believe you are right.
That is the reason some people sell coins now.
I will hold all my coins. Never sell them at this ridiculous low price.

Never leave your tokens on an exchange unless you want to trade them soon. You should put them on MyEtherWallet

I agree that is the best practice.
I always put some of my tokens in exchanges, just in case the price pumps without my notice.
Does anyone if I can get my token back if IDEX is down? If so, how?

OriginTrail Development Update: v0.5a “Ranger” Released on April 9th
https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-development-update-v0-5a-ranger-released-on-april-9th-c21827911b1d

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*Jw9aU77f-norHTnowhqukQ@2x.jpeg

We are proud to announce the latest release of the OriginTrail updated node code, v0.5a Ranger, which has been out and available on our GitHub since Monday, April 9th. Ranger is the third of six official releases before our testnet launch in June and brings several improvements to the overall code. The purpose of this blog post is to explain updates of the payment mechanism, data structures, and network improvements.

It will take some time till test net release in June and the  further releases in this case storing of tokens off exchanges is best and safer option. Of course these releases which are improving code and fixing errors and everything will move prices which everyone wants to see but in future. When we will be in positive market each update will push market upwards.

Lol...actually, I was spot on. The "CryptoShillNye" twitter influencer account is giving away TRAC... Just as I had mentioned ;)

But anyways, the OT team is coming to SF and NYC next week! I would recommend anyone in these respective areas to register!
https://twitter.com/origin_trail/status/984159903538278400

I am new to the whole crypto scene and these are very exciting times for me. I hope that I am making good choices with origintrail

Given the small market cap of OriginTrail my guess is that you're solid. I'm also invested, and hoping to catch an early train regarding a project that will end up having a multi billion market cap.

You are absolutely right that OriginTrail is still at is early stage and the potential is phenomenal.
The team has been following their roadmap well. We can be optimistic about its future.

Yes following the roadmap and also are super transparent what they are doing. So Crypto crowd just love them. I am a bit surprised that price dont follows that but that usually happen after coins get added to bigger exchanges.

Compared to most other ICOs in 2018, OriginTrail has been doing well.
There are many other projects targeting similar market, OriginTrail is by far the best.
I am glad to be long term holder of it.

OriginTrail has been doing well in the last couple of months. Still, they don't seem to profit from the rising Eth price and the rise in the market cap of the last couple of days. I'm wondering why.

Trac exist only few months altogether.  I said why in my post. Let me say it again. Orgintrail is not on any bigger exchange. So people cant buy it.

Volume is awesome for the current development status! We will pickup more volume with the project progress

The trading volume has been good since its distribution.
The community is also growing steadily.
I am pretty confident about its future.

Volume (24h) $283.020 USD

It's ok but in my opinion not great. I've seen lesser projects reaching millions in volume. I'm not quite sure why Trac doesn't have a lot of hype. It's a great project wil good fundamentals.

Supply chain tracking is what the blockchain is meant for.

 Anyone have a good recommendation for a windows desktop wallet to hold OriginTrail

MyEtherWallet

https://www.myetherwallet.com

How advance is Origin trail project? yep, supply chain tracking and logistics are probably the business fields that can mostly benefited from blockchain technology

As the technology develops and advances, with more partnerships and more businesses/tracking adoptions, origin trail token price should increase

as the overall market cap increases for crypto space, origin trail can also be positively impact, and volume should pick up with project development and marketing

Origin Trail has been around for a number of years in the supply chain industry prior to hopping on the blockchain. The supply chain industry has need a technology similar to this for quite some time.

Of course it will grow as the market turns green.
What I care about is whether OriginTrail can outperform bitcoin and ethereum.

I disagree, OrginTrail project is really far, compared to other projects, but reason for that was that they made ICO few years after project started.   Most  crypto projects are just ideas before they crowdfund founds in ICO.
Rason why is not enough volume is simple. No real exchange trading the tokens.

It's also because normal investors only hae 'hodl till it's worth more' as reason to buy this token, and there're a lot of tokens for which that's true.
Multiple utilities are always better imo

I think we can expect 10-20% return on stake. This is a high rate of return annually, but you have to keep in mind the nodes are staked

its hard to outperform bitcoin and ether, both has been around for a while, but if OriginTrail can successfully integrating its blockchain technology in supply chain, we can expect a huge jump in token value and price

What is the minimum required for staking? and do you need to run a node/computer in order to stake?

Is OriginTrail a utility token, required to run smart contract and utilizing Origin Trail platform?

There is no minimum and yes you will have to do your service.



LOL how did you calculate this?  I would really love to know.

In general this second layer masternodes crap or PoS stakes are such tiny reward compared to coin volatility. Way to many people bother with it way to much.

If anything it gives credibility to the sector, with so many bad uses of blockchain out there i think it' great that a big company is doing it

The whole supply chain market is far too big for one company to own, it simply doesn't happen, and won't happen.

Is TRAC and Devery (EVE) do for a same purpose?

Why TRAC is better?

Dear all,

Unfortunately the OriginTrail(OT) moderators deleted my Reddit post, seems they were not comfortable with my questions.

My key point:
The OT masternode architecture is so complex, that only IT-professionals and IT-staff will be able to operate them.

Therefore there is no use of the tokens for average Joes.

https://github.com/OriginTrail/ot-node/wiki/OriginTrail-Incentive-model-v1 (https://github.com/OriginTrail/ot-node/wiki/OriginTrail-Incentive-model-v1)

"To mitigate this risk, a node will be required to deposit a stake. This stake will be stored in case it is proven that Data Holder tried to sell the data which is altered while Data Viewers will have a mechanism to check if all the chunks of the data are valid and initiate a litigation procedure in case of any inconsistencies. "



Any thoughts about my points?

I went through the Github Wiki and I would like to share the following questions and findings:

1) Masternodes https://github.com/OriginTrail/ot-node/wiki/Integration-Instructions (https://github.com/OriginTrail/ot-node/wiki/Integration-Instructions)

Due to the technical complexity of the masternodes architecture, an IT-staff will be required to operate it. It utilizes an ArangoDB database and a database needs an administrator to operate it for mission critical use-cases like food supply chain.

For example if the underlying masternode ArangoDB goes corrupt, will you lose your stacked tokens then because you provided tampered/corrupt data to the protocol?

https://github.com/arangodb/arangodb/issues/2049

If not, will OT establish a forensic IT department to judge if somebody manipulated the data in the database or if the database went corrupt due to software bugs?

In general how will OT rule out that data wasn’t manipulated by software bugs but by the operator of the masternode?

What happens if bugs in OT provided software will cause corrupt/tampered data?

What happens if the masternodes got hacked due to undisclosed exploits?

When will a detailed concept be published how OT plans to implement an arbitration board that decides if data was either tampered by the user or corrupt due to software bugs?

What happens if a masternode operator does not implement critical security upgrades or fixes?

What are the sizing / hardware estimates for a masternode?

As well, when will the OT IT-team publish an operations manual for the masternode software that covers my questions? This includes security hardening, user- and role management, backup and recovery, software upgrades, monitoring and health checks as well as high availability concepts.

2)https://github.com/OriginTrail/ot-node/wiki/Supply-chain-data-sync. (https://github.com/OriginTrail/ot-node/wiki/Supply-chain-data-sync.). (https://github.com/OriginTrail/ot-node/wiki/Supply-chain-data-sync.)

In my perception the OT developers admit in their wiki, that the OT concept does not work in practise. Why? Because to make the OT concepts work, all suppliers have to establish a synchronized master database for the relevant products-codes, e.g. unique master-data ids, beforehand. Everybody in IT knows that this universal master-data database concept is similar to demanding for the Holy Grail of IT to make a concept work.

“Those DC need to establish the same codes for the same products so ODN can validate them. This brings another new level of issues that we call "master data synchronization". Currently, ODN doesn't have mechanism or tools to resolve this problem. Participants in the supply chain need to establish common master database that will enable them to exchange data.”

Any timeline when a solution for this fundamental issue will be published?

3) The source-code in the Github does even not include a license in the header?

Is the totally free to use or proprietary?

Even Tron has a license in their source-code… :-)

https://github.com/tronprotocol/java-tron/blob/develop/src/main/java/org/tron/core/SpendableOutputs.java

And yes, this is my first Bitcointalk post!

Cheers, Chief Architect

I see they delete your posts also on other subreddits. What is your nick there and on github?

Why are you not asking on github? Or just improve the protocol there.

I think most of your question are to early, we will just have to wait test and see. I guess we will all become IT-professionals. At least when testing it. :P


And for those that had not need Q1 report is here: https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-contributor-report-q1-2018-c224fd46ee17   Ofcourse numbers are huge since this is basicly first quater. ICO was happening in thsi quarter. Next quarter numbers will be way way lower.

https://i.gyazo.com/321ac69e4c7edea48529e9edafcca5d5.png

Hi,

many thanks for your quick response!

• Same nickname at Reddit as here
• I think it is beneficial to involve a larger community of OT stakeholder, not only the ones scanning the Github.
  Like I said: Average Joes should be aware about the use or value of their OT tokens.
• Github is not a place to ask questions, propose change request or roadmap discussions
• I don't do other people’s home-work by maintaining their Github  ;D
• The protocol itself is the knowledge and expertise of OT, nothing I could contribute from a domain perspective.
  I am having a look at the more general IT-architecture setup.
  
• Proposal: The OT teams updates their inventive model to cover my questions. If my questions sound feasible to the community.
• Proposal: The OT teams creates a bullet-proof operations manual for their infrastructure to be operated by token holders.
• Proposal: Like for ICONOMI, an external consulting company like Deloitte will review and audit the technical infrastructure setup and token incentive-model.
  
  I would recommend the audit before the mainnet go-live.
  
  I am pretty sure that this audit is exceptionally beneficial for OT to be adopted by large customers.  
  Otherwise every IT-staff at large clients will start to ask the same questions as I did.

Origin Trail will have a third-party group review the prediction model to estimate the demand for TRAC token based on the level of usability of the protocol. According to the roadmap, this looks like it will be taking place at the end of this month. I believe this should tackle some of the questions you have.

Anything new or upcoming for OriginTrail? One of the most stable (but also dissapointing) coins in my portfolio at the moment. Not much action. Was wondering if there is anything good in the pipeline that I can look forward to.

First quarter's report looking good and draws clear imagine in big letters about future at the same time. Some people sometimes are concerned about low price that will be solved with listing on one of the large volume generating exchanges in future. It was good time to accumulate and even still id in fact. Let the whales consolidate first in small tranches and then it will explode. It is seamless accumulation.

Hello. Today found that on next week Zond Release v0.7a. Initial version of zero knowledge privacy layer. Neo4j Compatibility. Standardized and documented graph logic.
So keep on eye!!!

LOL yes it is. That is how open source projects work. Anyone can help develop. And anyone will develop what he thinks is needed.



Lets hope Deloitte will not find something like this ( scroll to bottom) https://www.iconomi.net/audit/201804  40 millions locked founds because of constant bugs on the Ethereum blockchain.

https://i.gyazo.com/590f5c4e12c19b06062248a4d6a6ef9c.png

First of all is OT not an open-source project until they have the corresponding license model like GPL or Apache in their Github repository.

To learn about the proper setup of a software- and open-source project, the Apache Foundation is probably a good starting point for you.  ;D
https://www.apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html

Here is how change-request and bugs are discussed and managed w. appropriate tool support:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html
https://issues.apache.org/

Does OT have tools like Bugzilla, Jira or Jenkins in place in order to scale the project?
As well not sure if everybody should be allowed to contribute to a project:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/contributing.html

Hope this help to understand that an professionally managed software and open-source project is far more than a Github.


Cheers, Chief Architect

PS: ICONOMI seems to be pretty rich  ;)

OriginTrail doing great today. Have I missed some news lately? Or is it just stable and fundamental growth?

I like it  ;D

I am glad there are people like you on the team.  ICONOMI will stay rich till next Etehreum BUG. Until TRACE will be on Eth will face same treath.  And sadly that threat is certain. Question is just how big loses there will be.

https://tothemoon.live/?IsPast=False&Page=1&Month=0&Year=0&CoinTypes=OriginTrail+%28TRAC%29&SortBy=0 - Zond Release Today!!!  :-*

LOL at the time that kucoin decide to write that amount of ether beside your name. At point you send your coins to a centralized exchange those coins are not yours anymore but theirs to do what pleases them.  

The Zond release introduces:

- A standardized and documented OriginTrail graph ontology structure and compatibility with the Neo4j graph database. This compatibility enhances the flexibility in the data layer as it allows for selecting more than one underlying database system.
- The first version of the zero-knowledge privacy protocol for sharing sensitive data in an encrypted, but publicly verifiable form. This makes the OriginTrail protocol more attractive to companies who would like the competitive advantage of increased transparency and efficiency in their supply chains.

you're one of those people who doesn't read tos, aren't you?

Thank you for such a detailed write-up! WOW! Anyway, you know like they say - "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
Do you think there's a way for IT professionals to explain that stuff to the average Joes? ELI5 style, you know?

Interesting project. Do you have any big announcements coming up?

The nearest event is Surveyor Release v0.8a - May 21st
        Initial version of consensus check with privacy layer (zk)
        V2 of bidding mechanism

Surveyor will be the first release to utilize the consensus check (the validation mechanism for interactions between supply chain parties used in OriginTrail protocol) based on the privacy sublayer of OT protocol. It will also introduce improvements to the bidding mechanism and token utilization.

and TESTNET Apollo Release v1.0b - June 29th
        OriginTrail Test Network Launch
        Live cases using protocol test network
        1st Open Call for use-cases (up to 10 projects voted upon by token holders via a Smart Contract)

Apollo is the first beta version of the testnet protocol and implements all the features set for development. With the growing usage of the protocol and identified improvement proposals, we will be moving towards a mainnet launch in Q3.with first open call for use cases.

TGE has a good run.
Think the next double or 10x is Spectrecoin (XSPEC), best undervalued privacy coin.  More private than zcash/dash.  Think it will go from $0.50 to $5.00.
That's 10x. 
Longer term, think it'll be $50. imo.  Get in before others or get missed out.

Is this forthcoming Surveyor Release the reason OriginTrail is pumped?
I am glad to see the pump, but it seems that it is hard to reach 0.0004 ETH.

Origin trail is one of the underrated, least hype project, this is what blockchain is made for, tracking and logistics applications to the real world

Think you are in the wrong thread, this is OriginTrail Ann Thread/forum, the established company with excellent record of success, now incorporating blockchain tech to its company to better serve more businesses

Thanks for the info, once use cases start kicking in, businesses start to implement OriginTrail blockchain tech, OriginTrail will takes off!

judging by charts, this news has already traded but the price can still grow
pamp depends on what price the whales were in and at what price did you buy

Currently, these supply chains are fragmented and hidden. There is a limited ability to share data between the parties to the agreements.
Stratap OriginTrail creates a protocol that will allow IT providers to easily and easily analyze data and share information with the help of a blockbuster.

I was lucky that I bought into the ICO.
I believe you are right that OriginTrail will continue to grow. So I will hold my TGE long term.

In last 10 days price of TRAC doubled in bitcoins from 1500 satoshi to 3400. And expect that will only grow.
Reason is not this last update but all updates in past 3 moths that TRAC exist and what is planed ahead and most important delivering exactly what is promised. No bullshit.
Orgintrail ICO ended in i think February, but project was few years old, so they were hard working all that time. Not as most ICO project that after ICO finish they start gathering team and there is no real results in first year.   In case of Orgintrail is totally different.  There are lost of results, but price cant follow since TRACE exist only few months and no bigger exchanges did not picked it up.  Team of course dont push it to the exchanges. That should be normal case for any other ICO team. But reality is far from that. Many ICO projects spend founds they gather in ICO for listing on exchange ( taht might make exit scam next year) then to build their projects. This is main reason why price of TRAC is still so low. That will change sooner or latter.

I am in aswell.
Blockchain API Protocols for any Biz Solutions are are the future.

TRAC has been growing steadily in the past week and reached ATH.
I am happy with it because it is not pumped by any whale. I believe it will continue to grow.

Nice to see that TRAC is steady and slowly growing.
This project has so much potential and will surely added this year by the big exchanges like Binance.
Keep up the good work guys.

OriginTrail’s Spring Roadshow: Meet the Team Out on the Road

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*wgD_Gdc4c5f0Wjn06joRIg@2x.jpeg

OriginTrail is hitting the road again! By the invitation of some very reputable organizations, OriginTrail founders will present at high-level events in Asia (Shanghai, Tokyo, Tianjin) and Europe (London, Bled and Ljubljana) in the following weeks. In this blog post, you can find detailed descriptions of the events. OriginTrail team members were invited to take part in these events as panelist and speakers based on their expertise in the field. The company announces only events we participate in, not those we simply attend. https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrails-spring-roadshow-meet-the-team-out-on-the-road-1f2568925baf

How many Trac tokens are needed to run a node?

The incentive model introduces a novel form of a token staking mechanism implemented in order to discourage potential malicious behaviour within the network.
In order to participate in data exchange, the nodes involved need to stake a proportional amount of tokens to the agreed upon amount in the exchange. This staked amount is used to ensure the agreement success, as it further demotivates the involved parties to act against the system — the DH to remove or change the data it has committed to keeping and delivering, and on the other hand demotivate the DC node to falsely probe the DH nodes in order to try to obtain their stake.

This effectively means that in order to take on more work in the system and thus obtain more token gains and a larger reputation, a node needs to provide a larger cumulative stake, which ensures aligned incentives and motivation to deliver high quality of service.

The elasticity of this system allows both large and smaller token holders to participate on their own terms by being able to “monetize” their reputation and stake if they have a good historical track record in OriginTrail, but without limiting smaller players from entering the system and providing high-quality service. In this way, a data provider can choose to require a certain high level of reputation and stake (which would guarantee a higher degree of trust) from the nodes, which will in return be valued at a higher service price. In this way, the system stays decentralized and the distribution of data remains wide.

I consider OriginTrail one of the most promising coins in the crypto world with a capitalization close to $ 50 million, along with Coin Wabi.


OriginTrail has developed its own platform that allows networks within the ecosystem to build any blockchain (pilot programs of all this are already underway in Europe and China).
Creating this tailor-made solution OriginTrail makes data more accessible to those who are part of a supply chain, but the most important function is that it can be used by end consumers who want to know the true origin of a product, and then find out if it is counterfeit or dangerous to health.
In fact, the first version of OriginTrail has been implemented in the food chain; subsequently it will be compatible with any supply chain and products, and will be open source!


I repeat: one of the few tokens with real applications out there!

OriginTrail Development Update: v0.8a Surveyor Released on May 21st

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*E5EDIHpEzPW-aihQOY75Ew@2x.jpeg

We are happy to announce that we are releasing the latest version of our ODN network node software 0.8a, Surveyor, today.

Surveyor brings us an improved version of the bidding mechanism and implements the first version of the long-awaited consensus check, which utilizes the zero-knowledge privacy layer we worked on in previous releases.

The team behind OriginTrail has been consistent in delivering on our bi-weekly development roadmap, intended to make us iterate quickly and improve upon the mechanics of the ODN while it’s in the alpha stage. Now that Surveyor has been released, we are merely 2 releases away from the testnet at the end of June.

https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-development-update-v0-8a-surveyor-released-on-may-21st-b1e512884f5b

With the release of testnets, people can start testing how Origin Trail will be using in tracking for supply chain? This is what blockchain is made for!

This is great marketing for Origin trail, one of the under-radar project with excellent track of record and success!

Origin Trail just moved from good speculative asset, to great investment opportunity

It is becoming a better investment opportunity just now, since the price dropped 12% in 24 hours.
Let us accumulate more TRAC.

yes I love logistics and supply chain products! Big fan of INS Ecosystem and Origin Trail seems like an amazing project! I’ll use any info I can get.. Thanks

Also a good note is the more we interact on Twitter the stronger that algorithm is so it's good to leave comments on Origin Trail posts and respond to each other's comments

Hello OriginTrail believers,

Our aim is to add value to the whole crypto community by giving the best user experience to analyse cryptocurrencies.

It would be really great help from your side if you can spend 60 seconds of your time and give us your valuable feedback for our two recent updates 1) Snapshot and 2) Colourful
interface of OriginTrail at: https://cointopper.com/coin/origintrail

Constructive criticisms are always welcome at CoinTopper (https://cointopper.com/).  Thank you!!

Same goes for partners and awards on the front page. All those partners are ''lower'' resolution pictures. It is a bit out of context. Especially since 'Origin Trail in the news' does not have that problem which is right below.

Introdusing OriginTrail Token Demand Model https://medium.com/origintrail/the-driving-forces-of-the-trace-ecosystem-e2cb4454c6e1

There are two characteristics of the OriginTrail Decentralised Network (ODN) that are especially important for the token demand model:
1. Replication factor (R) — in order to ensure data immutability and to avoid the possibility of collusion, all the data on the network is replicated with a replication factor R.
2. Staking — in order to incentivise nodes in the network to be good actors and provide value, a staking mechanism has been introduced where Data Holder (DH) nodes are required to provide a stake in tokens, according to conditions agreed upon in the agreement which is the result of the bidding process. The minimum required amount of stake is something that is up to discretion of the DC node and can be adjusted depending on the use-case.

There are two market forces in place within the ODN ecosystem.
1. Demand is represented exclusively by the total need for ODN’s functionality on the side of stakeholders (companies) who want to use the protocol.
2. Supply is represented by the TRAC token supply.

OriginTrail Development Update: v0.9a Explorer Released on June 4th
https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-development-update-v0-9a-explorer-released-on-june-4th-8be8c3946ffb

The latest version of our OriginTrail network node software 0.9a, Explorer, is proudly seeing the light of day today, as scheduled. We have been working on implementing new data standards and many improvements, especially in the privacy layer of the protocol.

Explorer is the last true “alpha” release, as two weeks from now we are launching the first beta release candidate (RC), the Lunar Orbiter, which is the final release before the testnet launch, scheduled for June 29th.

OriginTrail Community Monthly Report #5: May 2018
https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-community-monthly-report-5-may-2018-87070997cd57

For OriginTrail, May was an amazing month, packed with important updates. We were thrilled to announce a new partnership with EVRYTHNG, the leading IoT Smart Products Platform. There were also multiple development updates. We launched the first implementation of the privacy layer based on zero knowledge proof in supply chains and the token demand model, and we had a website launch. It was also a crucial month for the Trace Alliance collaborative hub kick-off, and our team actively participated in 13 events. Since there are so many developments to report, let’s jump right into the reporting.

Have to say I'm really impressed with TRAC thus far. I've only been following for about six weeks, but geez, so much has happened in that time.  You dudes are super motivated and very active with your business and that deserves to be recognized.

I'm feeling fortunate to be accumulating while the volume and visibilty are low. Should pay off once the TRAC meet begins ;)

Good luck and keep up the great work!!

The team has really clear vision on this project, thus, their motivation can really be seen.
I hope their energy will still be the same, couple of years from now or up until their platform is really rolling.
Supply chain industry needs this kind of blockchain project. I do hope, they are happy to have this system in place.

For sure, brother! Supply chain is definitely ripe for some blockchain

Is sad to see this thread so abandoned when there is so much action on reddit. Sort of to many announcements for a casual observer.  Most important is: In 2 weeks they are launching the testnet. Everyone is super-focused on launching the testnet. More news are expected to come before the testnet launch on the 29th of June.

I'm curious what will happen to the value after testnet is released. The market reacts weird to big releases. Sell the news?

There are not many exchanges where people can sell coins anyway.   In general tech improvements have way smaller impact on price then some adding to exchanges or similar. But we will see, the team is capable of building hype. Question is if they want to.

Great post about Operating an OriginTrail Node?

https://steemit.com/origintrail/@malexaffey/so-you-want-to-operate-an-origintrail-node

The OriginTrail Decentralized Network (ODN) Beta is Public for the First Time
To establish an understanding of the different roles that companies and individuals can perform in the ODN, we first need to recap the different network roles. OriginTrail is a purpose-built protocol, which utilizes global standards and is based on the blockchain, for trusted supply chain data sharing. The testnet unlocks the full set of protocol features to its users in the first beta iteration:
    Support for handling GS1 EPCIS and Web of Things standardized data on the network;
    Implementation of a consensus check with a zero-knowledge quantity balance validation algorithm;
    Bidding mechanism with escrow functionalities and litigation procedures;
    Compensation mechanism for nodes based on the agreements formed with the bidding mechanism;
    Ability to validate data integrity via blockchain fingerprinting.

See more https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrails-public-testnet-has-been-launched-participate-in-the-origintrail-test-network-beta-66a1480937c0

Yup the test net is up. This happen in half years time after ICO. What is quite amazing. We will see how things will start moving now. Looking at Roadmap that is in OP of this post and was probably there from ICO half year ago plan is to have mainet launched in next quarter.  Since so far was no delays we could expect that could actually happen.

I think TRAC is undervalued and this is the best time to buy before the price explodes. This project is overlooked but many investors. I will buy some and enjoy the ride.

There’s no particular set reward for holding X amount of tokens, more you have, the more that can be used to stake for higher reward incentives on agreements made within the node you stake. Essentially you want as many as you can afford because the node incentives scale with the amount staked

June was another exciting month for the OriginTrail team. OriginTrail Community Monthly Report #6: June 2018 https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-community-monthly-report-6-june-2018-22e4d4218af0

https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-community-monthly-report-6-june-2018-22e4d4218af0

Worth to read OriginTrail Community Monthly Report #6: June 2018, with a lot of different information about the project.

I also agreed with you the team made very good progress and the direction of this project is really impressive. I believe this will turn into very huge project so that is perfect time to buy more before it get too late to take advantage of current price.

7 Reasons OriginTrail Is Worth Keeping An Eye On

OriginTrail is a decentralized, trustless, blockchain-based protocol designed to share, upload, and store data. OriginTrail (or TRAC) is built on industry standards for data sharing, like GS1 and IoT. These standards allow businesses to share information between supply chains, organizations, and customers.

Data-sharing standards like GS1 “form a business language that identifies, captures and shares key information about products, locations, assets and more.” The TRAC protocol can be used to create a “peer-to-peer network” of data. This data can then be accessed to increase the quality and safety of a product for both customers and business owners.

Currently, supply chain data is locked up in centralized “data silos,” due to security issues and lack of a protocol which can share information between networks. In this state, data cannot be freely shared or used! Unlocking this data with a protocol like TRAC will allow it to optimize a product’s entire production cycle. 

Many industries will benefit from TRAC’s improvements to the supply chain. These industries include the automotive, pharmaceutical, food services industries, among others. Here we take a look at just a few of the reasons why OriginTrail is worth following.

Looks like good article describing OrginTrail.

https://twitter.com/origin_trail/status/1022860269452779521?s=21


It seems Trace Alliance will start its own website on Sunday. Not sure if that is that smart, but I guess more sources of information the better.

Several important milestones happened during the second quarter of this year for OriginTrail, particularly when it comes to promoting protocol adoption. One of the key achievements was the OriginTrail’s decentralized network launch as a testnet on June 29th, which opens a new area for the accessibility of the technology. With 33 B2B events, over 50 media mentions and multiple positive announcements in business development, we are comfortable that the business is definitely moving in the right direction. We are firmly fulfilling our vision of a decentralized future of supply chains powered by the blockchain, and we expect additional business opportunities emerge when the technology is out there, serving real businesses. OriginTrail is delighted to present you the second quarterly report which is split up to report on the achievements by each of our departments. Thanks a lot for supporting OriginTrail.

Very detailed report of 2018 Q2. What I like most is that actual development exactly followed the development plan that was set on their road map. Although it looked very optimistic back then it was fully realized.

Good evening. I am sure that the site will be made at a high level. The coin is excellent with a great future. I wish everyone good luck.

I found this on Reddit. Written by CMO, review of last week and what is ahead in next week:.


Hey Tracers

In July my team was busy launching the Trace Alliance website r/https://alliance.origintrail.io/ and some other projects that I cannot publicly discuss yet.

I initially wrote this summary for the Telegram, but I liked it a lot so I thought that would be a great content to return to Reddit with weekly updates, too.

What did we accomplish last week?

Q2 report was published https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-contributor-report-q2-2018-765aba695dd (https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-contributor-report-q2-2018-765aba695dd)

The team is also working on updating the roadmap for Q3, we cannot commit when it is going to be published, but should not be long.
I will invite more team members to post updates weekly on Reddit so you will get better insights into all the exciting developments at OriginTrail.
I am also available for questions on Reddit. Nope, I can still not comment on exchanges (and I never will :)), however, you are welcome to ask questions in comments below this post and I will answer them tomorrow.
Have a great week, enjoy summer & thanks for supporting OriginTrail!

One of two blockchain based tracing projects which have formed alliance I already have in my portfolio. Few months ago I have heard about Origin Trail but didn't pick them up. After seeing report for last quarter and progress on trance alliance finally got them. Now I am having diversity between these two members projects.

OriginTrail Monthly Report #7: July 2018

July will be remembered for the Trace Alliance Program launch here at OriginTrail. Not only did we launch a brand new website and listed 36 current members on it (including Deloitte, TE-FOOD, Lucid Green, to name just a few), but we also launched new communication platforms, process, and infrastructure to cater to the increasing demand by businesses for the OriginTrail protocol. In our recently published Q2 report, we revealed that more than 200 companies are trialing and exploring protocol functionalities. https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-monthly-report-7-july-2018-b0c3e81b6ddf

It is weird that a solid project such as OriginTrail is only valued at less than 20 million dollars. Feels heavily undervalued, considering the supply chain combination with Blockchain.

$20 millions is still a lot of money.  And you must not mix the project with the token. token is not a share of OrginTrail it is just a token that is used for validating. Owners of OrginTrail are known and value of their stake is high specially since OrginTrail holds big chunk of tokens that are as a whole worth $20 millions.

The entire value and use of the Origin Trail is through their Token TRAC. So, basically the the better Origin Trail as a company does the better their token TRAC will do. (Unless the founders start a seperate consulting company of their after the mainnet launch to do consulting business to earn money even if token does not pickup in value). The Trace Alliance has many technology providing partners and so this is less likely and i agree 100% that the TRAC token is grossly undervalued considering the HUGE potential it has in disrupting the status quo.
Also the benefit of OT is that it can integrate with legacy SAP systems and so it easy for companies to explore blockchain.

10 New Members Join the Trace Alliance

The Trace Alliance, initiated by OriginTrail, is a collaborative hub of companies, organizations, individuals, and institutions aimed at facilitating the adoption of blockchain technologies in global supply chains. On July 29, the Trace Alliance website was launched and more than 30 first members of the hub were revealed. Less than two weeks after launching the website, we are delighted to announce that 10 new members were admitted to the Trace Alliance. https://medium.com/origintrail/10-new-members-join-the-trace-alliance-60e4c0dce6d8

It is wonderful piece of work this is good achievement of the team they working tireless to bring more innovation and adding revolutionary features to this network. This is undervalued token so that I can say this in future it will be worth to it to pick more and more on current price range.

OriginTrail AMA #2 | Branimir Rakić & Vladimir Lelićanin | August 31, 2018

Dear Tracers, our monthly AMA #2 is coming soon! This time, our focus will be on tech questions. Co-founder & CTO Branimir Rakic and senior software lead Vladimir Lelicanin will answer the questions in a live stream on Friday, August 31.
By submitting a question, you have a chance to win an OriginTrail hoodie!

After watching the AMA sessions recorded video can be said team is very confident about their work. In a nut shell it becomes easier to understand that it is nature of project to takes time but development is in control of dedicated people those want to deliver.

Today many organizations strive to achieve greater order and integrity in complex supply chains. The project is a good solution to many problems.

I think we’ve done full circle. Nice sound bites about engagement but I think I’m at my original point that there is little.
Pushed down empty corridors.

I’ll report back if there is a reach out.

August started off very nicely for OriginTrail with a mention in Forbes. Trace Alliance membership grew significantly, and the dev team worked hard on testnet developments and presented their progress to the community in an AMA, interview with a video and a testnet progress report blog post. Our advisors, Andrew Webster and John G. Keogh, shared their excitement for the project, and we announced the Autumn Roadshow highlights — our team members will lead blockchain panels at the GS1 forum in Dublin and the 2050 China Food Tech Summit.

New Palm Oil Alliance 'SUSTAIN' Initiates Blockchain Solution to Drive Sustainable Practices Across the Supply Chain

http://www.jcnnewswire.com/pressrelease/46206/9/New-Palm-Oil-Alliance-SUSTAIN-Initiates-Blockchain-Solution-to-Drive-Sustainable-Practices-Across-th

SAP  :o has joined SUSTAIN as technology partner. The company has been working with more than 60 enterprises across industries to create blockchain use cases in supply chain, manufacturing, transportation and pharmaceuticals. 

It seems OrginTrail roadmap was updated a week ago. https://origintrail.io/roadmap/

Launch is planed for start of next year. That is only a year after ICO ended. If that will happen in reality that will be amazing.

https://i.gyazo.com/f9d7d45f2d2b66387246eec045a963e0.png

Apparently the Trace Alliance reached over 50 members: https://medium.com/origintrail/trace-alliance-now-has-more-than-50-members-dc3701809209

Not really sure what being a member means. Did they gave any obligations to test platform or they just sighed in for newsletters.

https://i.gyazo.com/06549468296d6c73cc9b537d15a732c8.png

At OriginTrail, we believe that the power of decentralized solutions will deliver value to a large variety of use cases. We aim to identify and empower teams who are working to solve supply chain challenges and will utilize the OriginTrail protocol to achieve data integrity.

The purpose of the Open Call is to support development and deployment of supply chain and other applications, which utilize the OriginTrail protocol and will run on the OriginTrail Decentralized Network (ODN). The goal of the Open Call is to put 10 relevant scalable use cases to the ODN.

I was reading that and am curious how that will end. Hardly wait end of year to see it.  135,000 USD is not so little money and could attract a lot of contestants.  On other hand $135k is nothing compared how much difference ICOs are giving for their ICO promotion and sort of throw them away.

There are not so many compared to what Ico collect and it is not so much money if we want to take as a reference the parameters and the average salaries of managers, devs and Western programmers; but if instead we shift our attention in the east, such as in China and India, markets and areas where OriginTrail is very present and rooted, then this contest and this $ 135k award is an excellent opportunity for many small companies and enterprising managers , which must emerge.

Personally I find this selection an excellent marketing strategy by the OriginTrail team!

They have updated roadmap and ODN origintrail decentralized network is set to be launched sometime in first quarter of next year. They are very advanced in this field with usage of blockchain and have no serious competitor. Having a look at the list of partners you find big names where established business and startups can be found. Time is passing anyway for this kind of project they have good speed of work.

OriginTrail Monthly Report #9: September 2018

https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-monthly-report-9-september-2018-dffc7554eca0

In October they will be packed with activities. This month, they will promote the Open Call and be present at more events, including the Global Agri-Food Forum 2018 in Mexico (http://www.fga.org.mx/) and the GS1 European Regional Forum (https://www.gs1.org/events/513/gs1-european-regional-forum).

I totally agree that getting on this poster with all those companies is simply amazing.  And this was not a paid sponsorship or something similar how ICOs usually get listed with such companies.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Do07GQcX4AA6ZTg.jpg

It is proof of their their work and recognition of the tracing network on blockchain which will provide one of authenticity to products that it made its place on that poster among world's top brands which needs no introduction. Majority of these brands will be forming partnerships with Trac in future to provide their customers original products.

OriginTrail AMA #3 | Open Call | October 12, 2018

The first applications for the OriginTrail Open Call are already pouring in! 🙌  We have more than a month to go until the deadline and expect to get many more applications.

To provide you with more information, we will devote our next monthly AMA to the open call. Do you plan to apply? Do you need any more information? Are you simply interested what the open call brings to the OriginTrail ecosystem?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isELyngFoE8&feature=youtu.be

The counterfeiting and traceability and safety of products, foodstuffs or manufacturing or agricultural, is a multi-billion dollar market and there are several companies that offer their blockchain solutions to these problems.
VeChain and Walton are among the best known and most highly capitalized. They are worth $ 750 million and $ 130 million respectively, while there are other companies that are still little known but are working very well and are tightening continuous agreements and partnerships in their sectors; among these, the two that I follow closely and that have an immense unexpressed potential are:

OriginTrail and Wabi, both worth only $ 10 million ----- with a picking up market and a new season for altcoins, can give huge joy to their investors and holders!

$10 millions is a lot of money. And TRAC is not a security. So owning TRAC you dont own a OrginTrail company. I am not saying price of TRAC cant grow and will not grow. I am saying that calling a $10 million market cap of TRAC low is not right.

OriginTrail Quarterly Report — Q3 2018
https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-quarterly-report-q3-2018-712bcd248be9

Q3 was a very vital period in TRAC history, or TRAC-story, if you will. We have been working tirelessly on protocol adoption, launched the Trace Alliance website, and carried out numerous alliance-related activities, including celebrating passing the 50-member milestone. We also launched an open call, which aims to support 10 teams looking to join the mainnet by providing them with $135,000 worth of rewards. We started a new communication channel — a LinkedIn group for Trace Alliance members — and presented OriginTrail to thousands of business professionals at relevant industry events. The technology department perfected the network, with over 800 community members participating in the beta program. Support for additional standards was added to the protocol and the OriginTrail Network Explorer v1 was launched. Let’s dive into more benchmarks and KPIs.

OriginTrail Open Call: Meet the International Experts in the Evaluation Committee
https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-open-call-meet-the-international-experts-in-the-evaluation-committee-e8527a128643

We are extremely excited about the applications we have gotten so far for our Open Call. If you haven’t heard about the Open Call yet, we are rewarding the top 10 participating innovative supply chain projects with TRAC tokens and our support for using the OriginTrail Decentralized Network.

Due to an overwhelming response in the last few days, we want to enable as many projects as possible to apply, so we are extending the application deadline to November 23rd. You have 2 more weeks to submit your applications!

Strange that no one posted October monthly report.

OriginalTrail is becoming supply chain of services providers as well with this open call to choose best innovative supply chain projects. It is almost impossible for single project to track the supply chain across the world at this early stage. This collaboration among various supply chain tracking projects will form a real network of world level needs to be met and dealt with.

Origin Trail is most potential and bigger project among all supply chain related projects at the moment. Trac token has been mentioned and recommended several times as undervalued with huge upside potential. I have watched it for long time my question is more exchanges to show up on as one good alternative. In other areas things are moving quite well while progress on exchanges side is behind than other areas.

It seems lots of dust was risen from this tweet and article:

https://twitter.com/origin_trail/status/1069591676660973568

https://i.gyazo.com/7ad39e6af89c64169ef084e71df959c8.png

Using word partnership is forbidden in crypto. Together with words like foundation or alliance are very bad words.

OriginTrail is not relevant for the European market anymore.
The SME ERP market, the data-sources for the OriginTrail use-cases, is dominated by Microsoft and SAP in Europe. There is no bigger enemy then Oracle for them.

As well the reputation of Oracle at many clients is pretty bad due to aggressive licensing tactics:
https://scottandscottllp.com/oracle_audit_tactics_draw_media_attention-aspx/

Man that are amazing news. I wanted to wait to hear more in that upcoming podcast where that Croatian Oracle guy will get interviewed to pull my conclusions. But if it is like you say it is simply amazing.  So Bitcoin will shakeout federal reserves. Monero will shake out Department of Homeland Security and OrginTrail will shake out Microsoft.  What an amazing time to live in. Simply fabulous!!!

You never know…
Maybe the Oracle audit team already scans the Git-repository for OT for license- or patent-violations?
Not the first time a large company like Oracle buys a start-up for the tech-talents?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjjXawJeN0I&feature=youtu.be&a=

Finally the podcast is out. Much more informations and of course:

For now Oracle is partner but as Chief Architect says, they might just buy out everything. Question is what they will pay with. Who trust euros and USD anymore if that is their plan.

OriginTrail Monthly Report #11: November 2018

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*WXMXbLsWUrG8NiRo

November was a month packed with important announcements and exciting developments for protocol adoption. The two key announcements we made last month concerned our partnership with Wageningen University & Research on the EUR 20 million EU-funded SmartAgriHubs project and the launch of the OriginTrail Vostok Mainnet on December 7th.

We hosted a YouTuber with 200,000 followers, Ivan on Tech, in our offices in Europe, announced projects that passed the first screening of the open call, organized and livestreamed a surprise mainnet launch event, and presented OriginTrail in multiple publications and events.

Let’s dive into what the OriginTrail team delivered in November.

https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-monthly-report-11-november-2018-a7cc441a79ba

OriginTrail Vostok Mainnet is Live
https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-vostok-mainnet-is-live-57853cd71722

The world’s first decentralized network for global supply chain data exchange is here! As we speak, the OriginTrail Vostok Mainnet is bringing the benefits of the blockchain and decentralization to global supply chains. The mainnet is now up and running, with nodes successfully joining the network and applications for running a node in full swing.

Yup amazing. It did not even took whole year after ICO was finished. Lots things will get polished until then.

How OriginTrail Can Disrupt the Supply Chain Industry

The combination of OriginTrail’s blockchain agnosticism and alignment with established business communication standards puts them in a great position to capture an industry with plenty of room to grow. https://blokt.com/cryptocurrency/how-origintrail-can-disrupt-the-supply-chain-industry

VeChainThor, Wabi, Walton and OriginTrail: 4 companies and blockchain that will share a multi-billion dollar cake in the coming years, and each of them will try to find solutions and agreements with other companies to solve problems in real life, improving quality and the security of the same.

Good read:

https://hackernoon.com/why-blockchain-as-a-service-solutions-arent-blockchains-8d588b1f35ce

Since mega software vendors and companies like Walmart tend to consolidate their power instead of decentralizing their ecosystems, it might be challenging for decentralized supply chain solutions to succeed.
My bet is smart government regulation (EU) as the only way to make true decentralised supply chain tracking happen.

People will trust only fully decentralized systems. Companies will have to adapt. If there will be chicken flue somewhere in the world. People will not trust any centralized entity where their chicken on their plate come from. No matter if it will be stamped by 1000 multi corporations or 1000 governments.  People will trust the math in the code.

Although 2018 is not over yet it seems they decided to publish a retrospective:  https://medium.com/origintrail/2018-in-retrospective-an-exciting-year-in-tracstory-507a62f8d1b3

A really fantastic year for the team and the community that believed and developed the roadmap, keeping promises to investors and making agreements and alliances.

This unfortunately is not seen today in prices but I keep repeating that TRAC, along with another dozen of prigetti and Coin, can really change and transform life in the next 3-5 years.

OriginTrail Open Call: See Project Demos and Start Selecting Your 3 Winners
https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-open-call-see-project-demos-and-start-selecting-your-3-winners-d480a2831dec

Start Exploring Project Pages and Pick Your Top 3
You can now learn more about each project: pages with their presentations are available here. Process-wise, it is good to highlight that all teams had an equal opportunity to decide on video and presentation materials that will be presented to the community. Some decided to produce new materials, others decided that the existing materials will do the job. Four teams were disqualified from the competition since they did could not commit to making deadlines.

Each registered voter will have a chance to assign points to three projects. Since there are a lot of good projects engaged in the open call, we wanted to give you the opportunity to support more teams. These are the rewards for the winning projects:

Register to be Eligible to Vote
Voting will be open to the community of TRAC token holders. It will be executed through a smart contract. In order to enable all community members to participate in the voting, we are introducing an Apply to Vote mechanism, which will ask you for an email address and your wallet address. Each wallet requires a set amount of 1000 TRAC tokens to be eligible to vote. It is important to notice that the smart contract verification will be done in a way that the query checks if there are 1000 TRAC tokens in the wallet when you are applying to vote and as well when you actually place the vote. Such verification is in place to limit malicious voting behavior and support transparency.

I would like to ask dev has any plan in near future to add this token on big exchanges like Binance, Okex and Koreans. We have low trading volume with limited liquidity which is not good sign for a healthy growth.

OKex have lots fake volume. In Korea only UpBit is good exchange without faking volume. Coins listed on OKex, Bithumb or HitBTC is same as if not being listed there. Here you have full list of good exchanges: https://www.blockchaintransparency.org/december-2018-rankings

I was thinking the other day. To bad you did not make more rounds. Right now there are 34 projects. 34 is number that discourage people to check all projects and that way miss the good ones.  If there would bve secodn round where would come top6-10 projects then case would be different. That there would also be more chances to pick the right winner.
Just something to think about if you plan to organize something like this in future again.

OriginTrail Vostok Mainnet — Node Update v2.0.50 https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-vostok-mainnet-node-update-v2-0-50-15ec276e89fc

What Does the v2.0.50 Release Bring?
Apart from several small improvements and patches for issues discovered during network operation, the team has focused on two main improvements to node operation.

The first important improvement is adding additional support for node connectivity with Ethereum, lowering the dependency on RPC services like Infura’s API.

The second major update is an enhancement in the replication solution mining algorithm, which was designed to improve the bidding mechanism on the mainnet.

as I see from discussions on reddit biggest problem people that are running Orgintrail nodes are facing is that some are getting a lot of jobs while others none.  Two examples was that someone got 15 jobs and have his node running less time then the other guy who got none.  I am not really sure if this was already solved in OriginTrail Vostok Mainnet — Node Update v2.0.50

Is there something like http://www.blocktivity.info/ for the OT nodes and transactions?
Since the project and the technology is in its early days... Why not simulate load in the main net with some mock-up transactions?
150.000 Or 1.500.000 job per day sound more realistic to me of it comes to supply chain for retail.

The Bittrex pump is not far away.  ;D

I have no ideas. But serious projects should have a stagnet where to simulate how would work  when overloaded with jobs and no need to stress the actual platform with strestests.

I just hope their success on this project. Supply Chain badly needs this kind of service so I hope they can truly implement what needs to be done here. There are few projects that tried to explore this aspect but didn't see them achieving success in terms of implementation. They only ended up in trading until no more traders were interested on their coin. So if they can make their objectives a reality here, it will be a life changing in the Supply Chain community.

I looked at price a bit and was presently surprised. Price was not this high from August 2018. And in last two months it went from 0.005 to 0.055. So an x11 increase. That is huge. 1100% in two months.

Node Client v.4.1.3 on Testnet on June 5
https://coindar.org/en/event/origintrail-trac-node-client-v413-on-testnet-28726

It seems the price keep increasing.  It is amazing how price was able to go so low over last months.  And what is most amazing is that OrginTrail was not yet listed to Binance. Imagine what price shock will happen when at that moment.

I am in awe also on this project as very rare that you can see a coin rising from its original price.
Look at their market for one year, and you will see that this is a promising coin to watch out for.

Most of the alts, are in downward movement but this one has upward trend and seems they are not stopping.
If the project has real development going on, it will be reflected on the market.
And I think that is what happening on TRAC, because they have real progress going on here.

What is the reward for running a node?

are there plans to be listed on binance or this is just a rumor at the moment?

I dont see any reason why any token would not be listed on Binance. It just add more liquidity to the token. Ethereum tokens are also permissionless so anyone can list them on their exchange. What are Binance plans I have no ideas. You should definitely ask in Binance thread.  I see little chances that OrginTrail would not be listed on Binance. Question is only when it will be.



I believe you get tokens as a reward. Not just for running a node. I forgot a bit since I read about it some time ago. I believe you stake tokens and then someone gives you a job. Ad all that time you have that job you must not go offline. And at the end you get a reward. So some can get many jobs some might be unlucky. You should definitely read more about it. I am sure it is all described well on their website.

Trace Alliance is now partnering with the Ivan on Tech Academy to proliferate knowledge on the sustainable use of decentralized ledger technology for enterprises. The Ivan on Tech Academy has thus far educated more than 30,000 students in various blockchain and decentralized ledger technologies.

After a series of tests for the release's performance on the test network, an Update version 4.1.9 appeared on the github with some fixes and bug fixes
https://github.com/OriginTrail/ot-node/releases/tag/v4.1.9

Very nice progress for TRAC project. But I am curious, from those Trace Alliances listed on the website, are they all or even some of them using the technology of TRAC in their operations? Because honestly, I haven't seen a crypto project successfully implementing their technology in the supply chain industry.

Is there an ETA for re-opening trading/withdrawals on KuCoin for OriginTrail?

I believe it happened a week or two ago. But I have no ideas if Kuckoin show any proof they actually bought coins they lost. If they did not they are scamming people that hold TRAC on Kuckoin. They are also scamming everyone else since they just did a Fractional-reserve banking. I do remember people were vocal they will have to prove to have coins. Just not sure if that really happened. Everyone should move their tradings to Bittrex.

This is a very interesting project! Is there any update yet regarding exchange listings?

From last time I checked exchanges, I think new is Uniswap V2. Whatever that is :)   I think best place to trade is on Bittrex, but some might like other 2 exchanges.

Are people still into this one? Staking started today. 32MM tokens were staked in the first twenty minutes about 7 or 8 hours ago, and now the pool is already at 62MM of the capped 100MM. Seems like the interest in still there, but we'd really benefit from getting on to a larger exchange at this point. Binance would be big time.

So much going on with Origintrail (https://origintrailexplained.info/).

- Polkadot parachain most likely any day now

- Polygon/Matic bridge
  
- Bob Metcalfe (father of ethernet and inventor of Metcalfe's Law) joined as an advisor.


With the Decentralized Knowledge Graph. Origintrail might hold all the good cards for a data decentralized future.
Bitcointalk should wake up on this one
