Seems to me that APOLLO is an improved version of DASH and MONERO...

So I am thinking that it has similar price potential at least.

Please share your thoughts and I am happy to be corrected if I have any misconceptions.

Apollo is very far different price to the dash and monero now because apollo is even cents only there is no only and cheaper cent only the value now. But let's see if the value of ths apollo will become like the Dash and Monero someday let's wait few years or 5 years or more and we hope that it will become the the two coin that you mentioned and it is good for they to have because possible for them to become millionaire.

You are right. At least to my layman eyes, Apollo looks very promising, targeting new levels of privacy not seen before. Apollo enables direct IP masking using the Tor layers for truly untraceable transactions. This technology also has coin shuffling - an interesting option which utilizes something similar to bitcoin mixers, which also improves privacy and makes any block chain analysis virtually impossible. On paper it looks good, but it doesn't mean anything if it doesn't take off.

From where you are people getting this information ?

A full member asking a question by 09:38:21 AM and getting reply from hero member in 7 minutes and then a member ranked person confirming that in next 12 minutes.

I just googled, coinmarketcap listing a coin namely apollo but it is not at all having BITCOINTALK ANNOUNCEMENT topic. Hence, I wonder from where these people are getting some unknown coin's information ? I just suspect this total topic is by apollo to promote themselves.

PLEASE DO NOT SCAM THIS COMMUNITY BY THIS TYPE OF SELF DISCUSSIONS.

Please correct me if I am wrong. I will remove this post.

This must be a joke thread. Apollo is a pre-mined pump and dump coin, the developers already done a major dump and exit scammed the community. I'd stick with DASH and Monero over this APL shi+coin any day

LOL I've probably been a member here for longer than you.  (lost my old email and pw so had to start a new acct)

I am certainly not involved in any scam, and the responders to my post are not me/myself or I.

For your information this coin is getting a lot of hype, including good mention in a forbes article last year.

You got any links on bitcointalk topics for their pump and dump scenarios ?
I too never heard any coin in the  name of apollo. For me, google is showing some topic in the name of Apollo Token.

Please support your claim with proper evidences. You got url for forbes article ?

I have not read about this coin yet but now i will try to research more about it but personally i do not think that a new coin can reach as high in price as established coins so even if the tech is really good it will take quite a time before new coins can reach to those highs.

Just go to youtube, it has been reviewed favorably by a lot of respected btc/altcoin commentators.

Regarding the negative talk, one of the founders was involved in a controversy in the past.

Actually, it was a 2019 article

Apollo

Apollo is very much the newest of these platforms. The project is presented as containing all of the features that the other projects have in one way or another already pioneered while adding a few features of their own. Apollo was originally a fork of the NXT platform rather than Ethereum which unlike the other technologies in this list, gives importance to privacy and control over one’s data. Unsurprisingly this is also one of Apollo’s main objectives. In addition to multiple layers of privacy for one-to-one transactions through technologies like IP Masking and integrated coin shuffling, high scalability is also at the core of Apollo’s feature set with Hermes 1.0, Apollo’s newest update incorporating 2-second block speeds, faster than any of the other platforms.

Apollo is a platform that is still very much in active development, perhaps more so than other technologies with core features still being worked on. Development has been consistent though, and features include a marketplace to allow users to list goods and sell them worldwide in a decentralized way, and which is fully finalized and decentralized is already live. This forms a key part of Apollo’s premise of avoiding regulation.

Steve McCullah, Apollo’s Director of Business Development is bullish about the currency’s prospects.

“The Apollo Foundation has launched the first all-in-one cryptocurrency focused on integrating every useful feature from mainstream cryptocurrencies and combining those with unmatched privacy and is now the fastest, most private and most feature-rich cryptocurrency on the market. Because of recent breakthroughs such as it’s Updater, which updates the blockchain using a transaction, Adaptive Block Generation and it’s two-second blocks, there is a case that could be made that Apollo is also the most advanced cryptocurrency.”

A key selling point made by the Apollo platform is that the platform is unregulated, meaning that the privacy elements to it will be beyond any government control. At the same time, they promise to make the platform easily accessible to those who don’t have a bank account by providing physical buy locations, mobile options, and even creating a physical currency.

While details are scarce, another major development for Apollo that is planned for 2020 is Smart Contract support. We are yet to see what sort of languages they support and how the smart contracts will be, such as Turing completeness, which only time can tell.

Apollo

Apollo is a feature-rich cryptocurrency and platform that aims to combine a lot of what other platforms provide with privacy being at the very core of what it stands for.

Like some of the other cryptocurrencies outlined here, Apollo gives users the option to either has public or private transactions depending on their need, utilizes advanced IP Masking to prevent privacy from being compromised by analyzing the traffic, coin shuffling as an additional layer to anonymize funds and extremely fast speeds of 1-2 seconds per transaction.

What makes Apollo stand out, however, is that unlike any of the other platforms it provides features like a decentralized marketplace, integrated exchange (to eliminate privacy from being compromised at the exchange level), and interestingly Smart Contracts, which while not currently available are slated for release in 2020.

All this points towards Apollo being the most feature-rich privacy-centric cryptocurrency around. As with Beam, time will tell on how it develops and is adopted by the community at large.

at the moment the price difference is very high and i think it will take years before apollo will reach the values ​​of dash and monero

After searching threads about apollo on reddit this seem to be the most upvoted thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/aimysg/the_apollo_currency_team_apl_just_engaged_in_a/).

When you look at their price charts from the very beginning it does look like their coin is being pumped and dumped. On January 11 the price was sitting at $0.0007 then 10 days later it rose up to $0.003500.


We don't have to wait for years. Apollo's price is cheap because their circulating supply is 14 billion its price will never be similar to Dash or Monero.

Very good point, but then I guess the question becomes marketcap as a comparison.

Frankly for me apollo is a shitcoin because it introduces no new concept and it's like most other shitcoins out there that has no new idea but actually a copied concept from the other pioneers that's been already out there. This apollo coin is overrated but will surely pump and dump like most other startups, ico or projects out there.

Are you talking about Apollo (APL)? As I know, it is a fork of NXT and basically it is not different than NXT  and community is saying that it is scam

We all know Dash and Monero but this Apollo might not known to many people in crypto industry itself. In that thing how did you compare this few cents coin to this giant coin in the marketplace.
If looking for long term choice you may pick the Monero in this list. Be wise before choosing it.

In as much as there are great potentials inherent in the apollo project, I still think it will take a lot of years to reach the level of Dash and Monero. Reason being that, these (dash and monero) are far more established with huge markets and adopters compared to apollo that is still just starting out. Apollo could become a powerhouse in the future but I just think it will always come up short when compared to other established tokens/coins in its niche. Only the future can tell..

I only bought $150.00 AUS worth.

Got me 64 thousand coins.

No Risk (150 dollars play money) - for potential nice reward if it succeeds.

I don't believe Apollo could reach the place where DASH is now, but for sure it's a good and working project with strong developers team that continuously delivering the result. The #1 reason it won't go that high in price for its circulation and the reward mechanism.

If we wait 5 years, others' price will increase more than Apollo price. How can a coin like this be compared to DASH and Monero? Maybe it will develop over time and be in the top 50. Apollo is more like dogecoin due to great total supply.

APOLLO launching a decentralized trading exchange in next 10 days!

As you know the market situation is at low level now and all altcoins are low levels so APOLLO may be cross the DASH but it will takes a time .

The technology is also shuffling coins - an interesting option to use something similar to a bitcoin mixer, which also improves privacy and makes any block chain analysis virtually impossible.

 :D If the coin is private, it has a big chance of growth. Because there are still those who want to keep their assets completely decentralized. Well, any project needs a little more time to develop.

You are right, however, you can only keep it as long as you can.

What if someday you needed to sell to fiat? Of course you will go to an exchange and then your identity is revealed. There are also lots of news around that government might be doing their hunting for those crypto enthusiast hiding in this privacy coins. So let's see how it goes in the next 5 years.

I don't think so because Dash and Monero is more potential compared to the Apollo and even the apollo is also potential it will not achieve what the dash and monero achiever the price which is hundred dollars or more but the apollo the value is very low.

Apollo flying up the marketcap rankings. Currently at # 133

How Localcoin Benefits Apollo Users

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*FPlx1k7_259MJnEVXiNnzw.jpeg

Apollo Foundation has privacy mission that gives people the freedom to conduct anonymous transactions anywhere. Our recent partnership with Localcoin.is aligns with that objective.

Localcoin.is is privacy-centric ecosystem that enables users to settle funds globally via regulation-resistant platform — while anonymizing funds, and without disclosing users’ identities, and without imposing transaction limits.

Banks are most regulated entities of any industry. But regulators often snoop on customers’ balances, tax status, identities, and financial transactions — actions that can harm bank customers.

The Localcoin platform is blockchain-powered. And it offers decentralized banking that keeps users anonymous and makes their wallets unblockable. Multi-signature accounts improve security.

Secondly, decentralized trading doesn’t require KYC which means none of your personal identifying info are tied to account. The platform features no trading fees, and doesn’t impose limits. Therefore, you can trade and withdraw as little or as much as you want to accomplish objectives.

The platform’s over-the-counter (OTC) trading are achieved directly between parties — peer-to-peer — without involvement of exchange or outside parties. And to protect sensitive info, decentralized chat features encrypted messaging.

Above features combine to make Localcoin.is regulation-resistant — a key objective of Apollo. LC’s accounts are private which leads to untraceable transactions.

Users have access to multiple cryptocurrencies. Here are Apollo trading pairs:

APOLLO flying upwards, getting close to the TOP 100

Current marketcap ranking #111

If it hits the TOP 100 it will probably get onto bigger exchanges!

When I saw the name APOLLO, I actually laughed so hard because APOLLO is a name of a disease in my country that affects the eye of people making it red.

I am already scared in investing in the project because to me it looks as if I am going to face a lot of issues if I try to invest in this coin, I don't think the price of the coin will get to that of monero, though I might be wrong but I can't obviously buy all the coin in the market even if they are going to worth millions of dollars in the nearest future.

Apollo currency is way to cheap to reach dash or monero price in even five years to come ,the project is a very good one and I've been a fan since 2018 ,also an investor but instead of putting Apollo against coins like dash and monero I'd put it against electroneum ,if Apollo can defect electroneum in a year per price well its a signal for me and I will buy more

This is crypto where anything is possible, we have seen project with not working product skyrocketing while the one with working product price getting rekt everyday there appolo may attain the price of monero and dash someday.

This is the first time I ever hear about this Apollo coin, you can only trade it on a few small exchanges, where the volume for this coin seems high.
To get to Dash or Monero in use-cases seems like a very long distance to reach. But to pump the coin to the price of Dash or Monero, are possible if only a few people hold the Apollo coins all choose to pump it.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/apollo-currency/#charts

The real competitor for Monero is Grin, maybe Beam. Others are pretty same copies of Monero or Bitcoin with added privacy features. But all of them have a real problem with the scalability in the future.

Apollo has been as high as #110 in the market cap listings on coinmarketcap this past week.

If it breaks into the top 100 I have a feeling it will get listed on at least one new exchange, including a big one.

I think Apollo will never be able to reach the capitalization of such well-known anonymous coins as Monero and Dash. To do this, they must at least begin to lose popularity and give up their positions in the market, and Apollo, on the contrary, should absorb their capitalization. Honestly, I can't even imagine a situation that would make it possible  :-\

Congrats to Apollo on the release of their DEX!

the big difference not only in the price of a coin but underlying developments, number of developers and community which will use this coin

Not sure how substantial this really is...  but it is interesting.

Apollo Foundation this week has partnered with African Development Funding (ADF) Group, one of the most influential organizations in the continent. ADF has offices in Johannesburg, South Africa as well as Hong Kong, China.

It works with more than 53 nations at the presidential and/or ministerial level to provide funding and sustainable development on a range of commercial and non-profit ventures. ADF’s primary industries are mining and agriculture. But it’s also involved in wealth management, infrastructure projects, and private equity and debt investments.

More information will be forthcoming about the nature of Apollo’s involvement.

In March, a new Decentralized Bank Network location opened in Mossel Bay, South Africa — about 250 miles east of Cape Town. Bekker Leonard Projects CC Trading is one-stop shop for enthusiasts of cryptocurrencies and decentralized money.

Crypto Adoption

Crypto adoption in Africa has lagged behind other regions due to lack of infrastructure and access to quality education. However, countries like Kenya and South Africa are leading the way to show use-cases of the nascent technology.

The continent is home to 1.2 billion people and nearly half of the world’s mobile money services.

Over the past two months, Apollo Foundation has been establishing relationships and contacts among blockchain enthusiasts in the region. The Africa Development Tour aims to find potential partners, as well as, commercial and consumer use-cases for Apollo all-in-one privacy currency (APL).

Apollo is gauging potential interest in APL, and assessing local infrastructure and business climate.

It's a job of the century to have suggested that Apollo will grow like Dash and Monero, checked the total supply and the exchanges it's trading and I just conclude a no buy for me.

Apollo currency is a good privacy coin but let's not forget that its max supply is in billions so when comparing it to million supply coins like monero it will be hard for Apollo to reach the price of monero but nothing is impossible

Apollo can't compete with Monero the real competitors are next to Monero but Apollo doesnt have strong base

Apollo is actually having a price boom the last few weeks.  Completely unaffected by the  btc crash in price.  And they promise to have their first sharded block any day now.


1st Shard is Arriving Soon

Apollo’s first shard is fast approaching. It will take place at block 2,250,000.

Apollonauts can participate by forging on their desktops. If you use the web wallet, download the latest desktop wallet, and start forging.

Sharding solves blockchain bloat which is the technical problem of how to permanently store trillions or more of blocks on-chain, as well as how to transmit and/or download the chain within a reasonable timeframe.

It’s a revolutionary solution to making blockchain sustainable.

Sergey Rokhvarg, chief technology officer, says:

Sharding allows you to download the blockchain much faster, and it reduces the cycle-time of operations as well as lowers the needed disk space. Apollo sharding is a trailblazing innovation that is not implemented in most cryptocurrencies. Our developers anticipate potential issues in order to prevent them.

Steve McCullah, director of business development, says:

With the release of sharding, APL becomes the world’s ultimate currency — the fastest and most feature-rich crypto, as well as, the most sustainable blockchain available. Through sharding and adaptive forging, APL is among the first cryptocurrencies to solve blockchain’s vital challenge of sustainability.

Apollo (APL) all-in-one privacy currency combines features of mainstream cryptocurrencies in an unregulatable platform. With two-second block speed, APL is one of the fastest cryptos on Earth. The privacy platform lets “Apollonauts” transact and send data anonymously via Encrypted Messaging, Private Ledger, Decentralized Exchange, IP Masking 2.0 and Coin Mixing.

I'm not going to say its impossible but there are other factors to look at e.g max supply Apollo currency has 21billion max supply and both dash and monero are million in supply which will make it extremely hard for Apollo to reach dash and xmr price

Apollo currency is no doubt a very good altcoin and I'm a huge bag holder but I can't or I won't dare compare Apollo to monero  ;D because the difference is marginal, if Apollo wants to reach that same milestone as monero they will need to reduce the billion supply of Apollo currency,its way too much

not sure about it if it does then it is good for people who invested in apollo hope does what people are expecting from it lets see.

For Apollo currency to reach a price point of 0.02 will take years with very good and steady upgrades from the team not to talk of the price tag of dash and monero,that's impossible to me

may i ask, have you started forging?

thats very impossible my friend
maybe apollo is a good altcoin, but why i said this is impossible,
because the supply from Apollo is about 21,165,096,531 APL with 14,685,096,531 APL in circulations
thats really huge supply buddy

I just found out APOLLO has lodged an application to be listed on Binance.

Not sure how  that works but fingers crossed.  Would be amazing for volume.
