The cryptocard thing has been a bit overdone but do have to admit i love the idea of the monthly profit sharing

Hey to OP, you should make a new thread for your bounty programs, this board is only for all the ANN thread and there is a bounty board for altcoins https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0
or else this whole ANN thread of yours will be deleted by some mods here especially mprep.

Thanks for the question. We already have a tentative agreement with the Star Alliance network and we're currently at early stage discussions with One World. Others are in the pipeline and we expect will have to follow suit once we have final commitment from first partners.

Read about this one, I think Yeo worked in NEO. Finally a smart-contract credit card that is not a scam.

It seems that the card projects are a little too much. But this project looks good.

Why is the project better than TenX and why should I contribute? Also is the iOS app ready? Product ready to launch or it will take some time to launch?



P.S. Also if you click on the EMPIRECARD in your signature it links to Vibehub ICO?

Yes you are right, maybe the OP is preparing for a bounty thread, besides OP announcing ICO today, it should be an official thread made long before ICO starts.

I will look whitepaper carefully, I sure will follow the project closley. Good luck and keep up .

Amazing... how many crypto-cards will there be? And does none of these projects have the funds to fund itself?

Regarding the p.s. thanks for picking up. It was a placeholder that was accidentally left when building out signature.

Our project is fundamentally different from TenX or any other crypto card for three main reasons:

1. Instantaneous exchange protocol. Our methodology for ensuring instant transactions is different to any other cryptocard. We mimic the parts of traditional banking that work, to ensure that when you spent it is instantaneous and doesn't need to wait for digital confirmations. We do this by using a multisig system which automatically 'locks' the funds you commit to a purchase allowing us to pay the retailer in fiat currency immediately while preventing double spend.

2. Credit card perks. We believe that the general public aren't going to adopt crypto card en masse if we can't compete with the type of perks they get elsewhere. We've solved this by agreeing to an air miles programme with the Star Alliance group and will negotiate with other air line groups and hotel groups to offer more perks. This is a fundamental selling point for general adoption.

3. Decentralized profit sharing. Every coin holder is investing in something with a true underlying value. One coin = one share and all of the profit from our network (which come from small fees levied on transactions and affiliate fees from exchanges) will be split equally between every coin holder.

Best,

Daniel

Thanks Daniel! And just a small followup - didnt see any timelines in the whitepaper - is the app ready? What about the physical cards - ready to ship? Or will you need months / years for this to become operational?

Thanks in advance

Edit: noticed the timelines / app on the website.

wow  :D, your quick mate!
Can someone from development team respond to this? I want to hear a reasonable explanation. Perhaps they will do a video with their team members, like Centra Tech did, proving they weren't a scam, and actually a legitimate startup!

it is interesting project.. seems like Monaco Card. but it has other strong things. add it into watchlist

The photos are representations of our senior staff. Reflectively it was an error not to make this clear, and a previously written disclaimer was deleted during the development process. For Patricia, that's a French actress that resembles here. The idea that we (or any) ICO would try to actually claim an actress as their CEO would be ridiculous.


Even French actresses have rights. Does she know you are using her image to represent someone on your senior staff?

Post by: FiNaLize on August 15, 2017, 04:30:46 PM
 All photos of the team members have been edited in such a way that they deemed it untraceable (so they thought) look at the edit of e.g. the nose. NONE of the team members have (real) LinkedIn profiles, the office building is just a general building in the UK with no reference towards your ico whatsoever. SCAM you have been warned!

I learned my lesson the hard way, sent 1 ETH based on the "whitepaper" and couple of "news articles" but did not read this thread before the purchase decision was made (small hedge for the TenX). LOL! Have fun with my EHT, I will fully enjoy my EMP also! :D

I almost could not believe after reading/skimming the whitepaper that this was a scam, have to give it to them that they saw some effort.

Gotta be more careful next time, no matter how small the investment.

Thank you very much for your warn.
I honestly almost send some ETH and it is quite cheap to get black card with about 10 ETH.

Many many thanks for the warning. Big Thanks
