User Friendly Chrome Browser Extension and Wallet


The Halo Platform Chrome browser extension is your window to the entire array of DAPPs and tools on the platform, including your wallet, masternode system, HaloDEX and Block Explorer. Install and set up the extension in moments and enjoy an elegant, simple interface built for users with little to no experience in crypto technologies.


Easy-to-use Masternode System with a Generous Rate of Return


The Halo Platform masternodes are tiered processing hubs for transactions across the platform. Halo Currency is minted at a rate of 30,400 HALO every four minutes and distributed across the masternodes within an 8 to 24 hour window from the previous distribution. In addition to these distributions, masternodes also receive a portion of service fees generated across the platform at a rate commensurate with each tier.

Platform users can set up Masternodes in just minutes with full cloud hosting support, so running your own node has never been easier. Users can set up a solely owned masternode or purchase a portion of a masternode for as little as 5,000 HALO in our masternode marketplace.


Fully Integrated DEX

The Decentralized Exchange (HaloDex) requires no middle party or trust component, and trades happen extremely quickly thanks to the speed of the Halo Platform blockchain. HaloDEX supports ETH and BTC base pairs and users can trade for HALO and a host of other coins and tokens.

  • Simple intuitive web interface
  • Trustless trading powered by a series of comprehensive smart contracts
  • Comprehensive charting functionality
  • High availability network with cloud-based DDOS prevention and SSLv3 encryption
  • Low transaction fees


Industry Defining Centralized Exchange (Coming Soon)

The Centralized Exchange (HaloX) requires a common intermediary for deposits/withdrawals, but allows for ultra low latency off-chain order execution, margin trading and fiat pairings.

HaloX features:
  • Fully customizable dashboard - stretch, scale, duplicate, move components to suit your preferences
  • Full feature charting
  • Bespoke ultra low latency matching engine
  • P2P margin financing
  • Industry grade financial statements
  • High availability network with cloud-based DDOS prevention and SSLv3 encryption

I have a few Halo masternodes, they were byfar the easiest MN's that I've ever set up. only took 2-3 clicks for a cloud hosted and you don't have to sign up for a thing. They've been giving out some amazing rewards too  :) the speed of the Halo blockchain is really shocking

shocking as in "amaze-balls lightning fast".  The fact that they can do 5000 TPS and are not an ERC-20 token but an actual coin is going to make this project stand out from other competitors.  The use cases for adoption, particularly in the gaming industry will vault Halo Platform into the top 20 on CMC if they ever get listed...

Shocking as in good. I manage my own wallet and help a friend with his and sent some Halo to his wallet and it was there before I could even switch tabs, that's how fast it is.

Update from the Block and Chain Gaming studio about their first game:

"Blockfight Update

After much input from our beloved community and deliberation by our team, we have determined that it is essential to launch Blockfight with both HALO and ETH supported to maximize our player potential at launch. Our team has been working day and night to integrate it into the game wallet and Cage systems quickly.
 
So, we will launch next week with full support of native Ethereum.
 
And with that, we give you The Cage:"

there was also a video done that showcased the speed of Halo vs Ethereum's dice game, Etheroll. The graphics weren't really the best in the video because of his PC but let me know what you guys think?

I have downloaded the client but have a few questions about the masternodes, what's the difference between the cloud hosted and self hosted? how would I pay for a cloud hosted? what is the current payout for one? the walet/client is impressive so far, the built in dex functionality suprised me

incomprehensible task of the platform. Is this some kind of information portal or trading terminal with connection to multiple exchanges through the API?

I'm not sure what part you're referring to, unless you mean the whole platform in general? It's similar to Ethereum, Neo, and Stellar lumens etc. Halo has it's own blockchain that you can build tokens on, they have smart contracts. They have their own DEX built by the Halo team that utilizes coin wrapping to accept all other non-halo tokens. The chain is powered by RAFT consensus through masternodes, they are currently 5,000 TPS and can scale to more easily.

The reason it's all in one is because it's a one stop shop, you can access everything through their Featherlite client. They want to be the Google of Blockchain. It's all free. You can do Light Mode- which is no chain syncing required, Full mode- which requires chain syncing, or you can download the browser extension to chrome and use it. You can access everything through the client or browser extension, like your wallet, Masternodes, Decentralized exchange (HaloDEX.io), Blockchain games, block explorer, with more to come.

The masternode holders receive the newly minted coins, which it will take 40 years before they are all minted because it reduces every 2 years I think. The MN's also receive service fees which are generated from the Halo DEX, Halo Centralized exchange (nearly complete), Halo Games, and other various means. The games alone will be a large generator of service fees as all commission from the games as well as all house winnings will go to the Halo masternodes.  

The portfolio management part is still being worked on where you can trade on other exchanges through an API. A team member would have to tell you where they're at on that, or I can ask in their discord, which everyone is free to join as well.

Cloud hosted is where the masternode gets setup and hosted in the AWS cloud. That's the easiest route to go especially if you don't know how to set-up a VPS. The cloud hosted option costs $19.99 a month per Masternode, but all fees are taken out from the rewards in Halo on every payout until it reaches the $19.99 for the month,and you don't have to sign up for anything.

The self-hosted option is where you have to setup your own VPS and it requires a bit more work and time, they have the instructions in the wiki.

I have a few T1's and T2 currently and i'm making quite a bit from them. I've had one of my T2's for about a month now and I've made 107,000 Halo on it so far, which at current market prices is about $130 this past month on 1 T2 masternode.

The really crazy part is how quick the MN's are filling in, 95% of the circulating supply is locked up in masternodes right now.

Yea they have been pumping out updates for the past few months, the team likes to actually create the products before hyping them up. Hence why they're practically unheard of. CMC listing will be very soon as they now meet the 2 exchange requirement, plus they have their own DEX open as well and are listed on it. Just waiting for a "Rich list" like ethplorer to come out and they'll be happy. I think they said it's practically done. Let me know if you have any questions about anything! I forgot to mention they'll even have a debit card, secure chat messaging through Featherlite, and anonymous sending (there are small fees for those I think, still being worked on)

There was a payout about an hour ago, if your MN was active then you would've received rewards. Payouts randomly happen between 8-24 hours.

I also wanted to point out the ICO information, Halo held their ICO in 2017ish and sold 1,000,000 Halo, with the original goal of only having a total supply of 40,000,000 over the course of 20 years. They community decided to vote and do a coin split of x800 this past December, so the new total supply is 32,000,000,000. There were multiple reasons for the split, but a few of them were to help become more of a currency. It will also help with the games as people want to accumulate more and more than ever, so someone would rather accumulate 100,000 Halo rather than 125 Halo (100k/800), if that makes sense? The current circulating supply is 3,562,296,000 and 95% of that is currently locked up in Masternodes.

Great, but you have more information on how to subscribe to your project like Facebook and Twitter.

When buying shares in already active MN, you will be sure to receive rewards when the next payout occurs. When joining a public pool, you may miss out since the MN might not get filled before the next rewards are payed out. Also in the public pool, people can only start up T1 or T2 MNs, but on the marketplace you will find some T3s and T4s as well. Often for these reasons the shares in already active MNs sell at premium rates, so you may pay few percentages extra for the certainty of getting MN that's already activated.

it sounds like my best option is to buy some directly off of the marketplace then as long as they are 1 for 1, if not then i will pool them publicly. why would someone pay a premium for shares in t3 and t4 masternodes?

If you look at the reward structure, you see that higher tiers share a bigger percentage of the service fees generated all over the platform compared to the lower tiers.
T1s get 5%
T2s get 10%
T3s get 15%
T4s get 27.5%

So, when the platform starts generating more fees from then it's definitely more profitable to be in as high tier as possible. The other reason is the limit on different tiers. There can be:
5000 T1s
4000 T2s
1000 T3s
500 T4s

Currently T4s are about 50% full while T1s are only filled about 15%. In the long perspective therefore it makes sense to save yourself a spot in T4 before they all get filled.

i can see where it would pay off more to have a t4 if there were more service fees, but are they really expected to be that high to matter with a free blockchain that charges no transaction fees?

i have noticed that light mode takes a while to load the Masternode page, should i try using full node? it doesn't take forever or anything, i just wanted to make sure i am using the correct mode

The fees that get shared with between the MN holders will be generated from all the features the platform will have. Currently the fees come from the MN marketplace and the Decentralized Exchange, this week the first game (of many) will be launched by Halo's gaming wing Block and Chain Games (little preview in here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095680.msg49523789#msg49523789). BnC also offers a "Partner Platform" for other blockchain game developers who are interested in using Halo's blockchain, which will bring in more possible income streams for MN holders. Besides that there will be centralized exchange, debit card... The growth potential for the platform and also the user base is huge, so the fees will definitely see a climb in the future.

The lite node syncs with the blockchain remotely and full downloads the whole chain data to your machine. So in most cases the full will be faster (mainly in the MN dapp) but it will require somewhere around 30 GB of room on your hard drive. I personally would suggest the Chrome Extension (you can find it in here - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/halo-platform-browser-ext/oaebcmidkgapfllemhdeghglmokiakci), the extension is bit more advance compared to the desktop client. The speeds will still sometimes be bit slower compared to the full node but otherwise it's the best option out there. The API system will be redone in the future which will make the lite/extension as fast as Full is now.

We've got a major API upgrade this week which will greatly speed up the Masternode DAPP. We encourage you to use the browser extension for an optimum user experience.

who gives a guarantee, that this extension is safe for a ruser. There are many different extensions and applications now available, however, it's fairly reasonable to refer to downloading various sources.

The Halo team gives a guarantee that it's safe and they are usually vetted by Google before they are allowed as an extension, or so I thought. I mean it's just as safe as any other browser extension that a platform is using, if not safer. The great part about the platform is that you don't necessarily have to stick to the extension only, you can download the featherlite client which has the wallet, DEX, masternode DAPP, and block explorer built into it so far with more to come.

I run full mode of featherlite on my computer and it runs fast for me.

HALO Coin has just been listed on Coin Market Cap! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/halo-platform/

That's great to hear as it's been a long time coming. Congrats to the team!

I wanted to mention another current use case of the Halo Blockchain due to its instant/free transactions is voting in the blockchain.

 https://medium.com/horizonstate/horizon-state-on-the-halo-platform-a-match-made-in-heaven-fbba97632fba

From the article:
"Following on from this partnership agreement, Horizon State is now using Halo to run the vote in New Zealand’s The Opportunities Party (TOP) leadership race. Halo’s unique architecture and fee model make it the right chain for collecting votes from a large population or in a situation where we must run several consecutive votes; The benefit of using Halo’s solutions today becomes quite apparent in the lead-up to running multiple campaigns in the next few months."

The fact that they have instant and free transactions is going to go a long way with real world use cases as we are already seeing.

Gaming: Block and Chain games: multiple games like Blockfight and Draggin Dragons
 Fracture labs: Decimated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB-ENl6i_os

Voting: Horizon state

Great to hear! the DEX is one of the fastest I've used so far and one of the only ones out there (not saying the only one) that utilizes coin wrapping, but they do it the most efficiently due to the fact that Halo is currently one of the fastest blockchains out there and it's seamless trading with the Halo Browser extension (soon to get a new name, current 100k Halo contest giveaway in Discord). The DEX feels just like a centralized exchange when it comes to speed.

As for masternodes, let us know if you have any questions, either here or in Discord. They are also streamlined and easy to set up, you can do a cloud hosted option without having to sign up for anything, or you can do a self-hosted with your own VPS. Rewards are still great and will get even better with the launch of Blockfight, all commission from the game and house winnings will go to MN holders.

Newest  Block and Chain game studio newsletter/update is in. The team found a bug in Ethereums Web3 code while getting the Blockfight Cage ready to accept Ethereum as well as Halo and have passed it on to the right people who maintain the ethereum web3 code. There is also a nice easter egg/hint at what is coming at the bottom!

Thanks, I'm ready for the Halo, BTC, and ETH rewards to kick in. I forgot to mention that they are designing it to where all fees from the DeX will be given out to Masternode holders, so if someone buys Halo with Bitcoin off of the DEX, then they will take the Bitcoin fees and send them to the Masternode service fees smart contract to give to MN holders. Same goes for Ethereum and I think any other token listed on there.

I think they also plan on doing this with the games. So any commission or house winnings that are in ETH or BTC will go to the masternode holders as well.

100k+ Halo is being given away on the Halo Facebook community page if you can guess the closest amount of USD
in  change on a table. That's more than enough to get into a shared masternode and it comes with help getting it setup, although it's quite easy to set a masternode up anyways.

  • Gaming on the blockchain
  • Decimated by Fracture labs, who are building their MMORPG on the Halo blockchain, trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB-ENl6i_os (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB-ENl6i_os)
  • perks to gaming on the Halo blockchain
  • ICO's on the Halo blockchain
  • Halo Consensus/RAFT VDTB
  • Halo Security
  • Halo Compliance
  • Halo model, similar to Google without retaining data
  • Why using the Halo Blockchain makes more sense for companies with micro transactions because its free, unlike chains like Vechain. This is perfect for supply chain.

this team seems pretty good, promising project too and it's awesome the game was launched, wow!

but......jesus fuck the price has tanked (even post swap or whatever it is you did to up the amt of coins).  right now this just looks like yet ANOTHER ICO bag for everyone to hold, like 90% of the coins launched in 2018! lol.  better get your market going or disappear into no-mans-land like so many others.   hoping you guys make it.

Yea it's tanked like the majority of other coins. The only thing is, is that if you had reinvested your coins consistently from ICO then you'd have 3-4x the amount that you started with from rewards and that greatly offsets it. the swap was 800:1, but honestly the swap had nothing to do with price tanking, it's more or less the lack of new people being introduced to Halo, which hopefully changes soon. The team is amazing and the Halo blockchain is extremely under the radar, mainly because they didn't want to hype anything like Tron or Vechain did without having a product to show for it. Halo is one of the fastest blockchains out there and its free to send/receive. They have masternodes for actual rewards (unlike VTHO), games, and much more to come.

I think at some point the team is going to have to start hyping their product and getting more exposed since they have quite a bit done.

I would also like to point out that whatever price that CMC is showing currently is likely wrong or not accurate considering most of Halo's volume is on the Halo DEX here: https://halodex.io

HaloDEX should soon be listed as a market on CMC, just waiting for some API and backend updates which should happen this week.

yes that is correct i'll give you that, BUT that is only the case for investors to begin with, which most have probably done.  halo needs new people and fresh money along with some market making volume, otherwise it is just another sleeping coin with what...1k people using it or that even care???

you guys have your own dex market yes?  i know you have some coins on it but more is needed.  can halo not get on other exchanges or is this as usual way to expensive? (exchanges are fucked to ask so much money to begin with).

it just seems from the outside that halo makes themselves appear bigger than they truly are, and maybe trying to take on too much at once.  i hope you have something concrete to show and get promotion, market volumes and price off the ground, if not it'll just stay dead. 

the REAL worry is with the dump in price, people don't wanna see another "oh sorry we're out of money, price dumped, we didn't manage our shit properly and we're closing up shop, sorry byyyeee".  if that happens........oh man........

I think the idea is to work out the last few small bugs then really ramp up marketing. They recently hired a new marketing guy from what I heard. But first they'd like to have the new backend update out that speeds up MN dapp even more as well as fix some small issues on DEX like rounding issue and hopefully max button.

Halo does have it's own DEX, https://halodex.io and they are working on adding more coins as we speak. They just recently added flashcoin. The problem with a lot of the larger exchanges is they say they don't require a listing fee but they want a "Deposit" or a guarantee that you have X amount of trading or they'll keep the "Deposit", or they want a percentage of the token itself which is a joke. Most larger exchanges are running bots or have market makers. There is a ton of wash trading going on to create false volume.

As for team funds, they said they had plenty of runway for 2 years from ICO money alone. They also have the Archnode that gives them Halo at payouts to help cover overhead costs.

Announcement regarding the Blockfight Release:

https://community.haloplatform.tech/blogs/entry/128-blockfight-press-release-and-halo-giveaway/

"February 27, 2019 – Block and Chain Game Studios (https://blockandchain.games/) is pleased to announce the public release of Blockfight - an exciting creature-centered dice battle game built using blockchain technology. This visually immersive and technologically cutting-edge battle game is the first title published by Block and Chain Game Studios, an up-and-coming blockchain gaming platform.

Blockfight is an immersive online gaming experience where players battle grotesque monsters, displayed in high-res 3D. The beasts take massive hits all based on the roll of the dice, which rely on blockchain technology to ensure truly random and provably fair results. Just select your character and how much you want to risk on the fight and your characters will battle it out to the bitter end.

The creatures battle for guts, glory, and valuable rewards. Beat them all and fill your trophy room – and your digital coin wallet! Players can play completely free to test the waters, thanks to a generous allotment of in-game coins provided by Block and Chain. Users who want a bigger thrill will undoubtedly want to try their luck with a favorite cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum and HALO.

Blockfight is free-to-play and can be accessed directly on the web: https://www.blockfight.com/

Blockfight may be a new title from Block and Chain Game Studios, but it’s built on top of blockchain technology that is well-established. This is possible due to Block and Chain Game Studios’ partnership with Halo Platform, which has built some of the most robust and reliable blockchain technology available today. This cutting-edge platform will make gameplay and cryptocurrency flows on Block and Chain’s platform nearly seamless. If you’re a developer and have your own crypto-based experience you’re wanting to show the world, we suggest you roll the dice around in Blockfight a few times just to see how easy and seamless it is to integrate with the Halo Platform.  

Block and Chain Game Studios is a division of the Halo Platform aimed at encouraging the development of blockchain gaming and introducing the gaming community to the benefits of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. To learn more about Block and Chain Game Studios, check out our website at https://blockandchain.games/ or contact us at bnc@blockandchain.games.

      that's good and all but just seems the team is to small to accomplish what they're trying to achieve, and the price and results thus far show that.  i still understand it's 'great tech'....but that and a cupcake will get you fuck all in crypto as it stands today.

      if HALO is serious, get on the fucking phone/email and start contacting all these big companies to get them interested in your product.  sure it's a long shot but nobody got anywhere just standing around.   maybe even a smaller company will implement HALO first, then you can use that ammo to go after the big boys.

      They have been releasing a steady stream of products for a while now. If you haven't checked, they just released Draggin' Dragons where you can earn Halo or ETH by owning a dragon! I just got the BCT page for it up! Also check out blockfight as well! I'll post the BCT page links down below.

      obvious halo noob account shill here, but whatever.  releasing some stuff, sure.
      ROI is obviously still MAJORLY lacking here lol.  i think many ppl would not be so salty if the fucking price was at LEAST at ico level...not down 10x lol.
      "making sick masternodes rewards bro"...yeah, if it was WORTH anything  ::)

      so far i see a shitload of promises, a long time to make stuff happen and zero care from 'investors' or the market for trading this coin on their DEX or whatever it is.  
      halo NEEEEEEEEEEDS to get on some outside exchanges to survive or else it's game over.  unless you have some magic solution to make volume/price increase happen on your own platform.

      Dude, calm down lol no one is attacking you. Everyone in crypto is down 90%. At least Halo products aren't vaporware, they have a DEX (even if there is hardly any volume due to lack of marketing), they are working on their Centralized exchange that will come out in Q2 with margin trading and referrals with quite a few cool features like customizable charts and ability to trade masternodes (even non-halo ones). They have released 2 decent blockchain games that have a steady user base. They are listed on Stex and LA token (LA Token is a shit exchange i'll agree) and Scott just said in Discord that they are finalizing details to be listed on Coineal and a few others. They are working on stuff and producing products so the guy wasn't wrong. They even mentioned something about a banking license in the US for their debit card and something else that they have in the works like a fiat to crypto gateway for their exchange. Check out their recent reddit AMA.

      I did a short video showcasing the speed of the Halo blockchain. They utilize RAFT consensus with Variable Demand Transactional Blocks i.e. if no transactions take place, new blocks won’t be created. They have successfully stress-tested the chain at 5k TPS and can push it more if required. Horizon state ran a successful decentralized vote on Halo for elections in South Australia with 50k voters which really benefited from the near-instant and no-cost transactions.
      In addition, Halo has their own Games Division whose 2 released games you can see in the video below and being built on the chain currently is Decimated by Fractured Labs – a MMORPG survival game.
      Check out the video below and also, I’d like to hear any other chains with free and near instant transactions that you have come across and that show similar potential.

      Founders message in Discord from CEO and Founder Scott Morrison:

      Quote
      Founders update


      It’s been a while since I’ve done a formal founders update, subsequently there’s quite a bit to cover but I’ll do my best to keep it relevant and concise.  I may miss a topic that you wanted covered, so I will be opening a pure AMA channel in the discord with one channel for asking/discussing and one with my responses.

      You all enjoy a very open and transparent team here with Halo. We are active in the community and include you in many of our project discussions and we intend to maintain this relationship with our community.  That being said, please respect that there are limitations to some areas of discussions these cover legal, business and sometimes personal issues.

      Over the last few months you have seen the departure of some of our team members.  Some of these were natural departures, contracts finishing and job offers. There has also been a reduction due to budgetary restraints.

      We have sustained a longer than anticipated downward market and have not yet achieved the market awareness that we had anticipated. With the number of products we have delivered  the project has used up the major portion of funds. This has required us to make the hard decisions  scaling our work force to remain viable and deliver on our promises.

      The legal, licensing and tax elements for a project of this scope have amounted to a lot more than anticipated as the regulatory climate for crypto has evolved and it has always been Halo’s position that we will be compliant and legal.
      Exchange listings have been a hot topic and something that we have to be extremely careful with, We have made applications to several exchanges but this is not as straightforward as you may think, some are incredibly expensive and outside of our budget, with others we have legal restraints imposed, so are unable to discuss. Then there are the issues of volume, can you trust the numbers, exit scams, are halo clients going to lose their funds? We have been caught out with LA Token, and had a close shave with Coinbene, We are in discussions with others and are working towards a solution, but we will never be able to please everyone.
      Marketing, this has been our weakness since we started this project.  Our focus was always on delivering a solid product with a belief that a good project did not have to do the massive flagrant shilling and price manipulation.  We have in the past brought on four different teams/individuals to assist on the marketing front they have either completely failed at producing a deliverable, or were ineffectual. We have yet to find an effective partner for the marketing position and until we are successful in finding that right fit we are still managing marketing in house.  We have had existing and new community members with various marketing backgrounds (GlobalBrand,Social Media etc) reach out to me .  They have helped us put together a package of press releases and coverage from some of the most popular crypto sites that would not have been obtainable for us otherwise.
      The launch of the Centralised Exchange will give us a unique opportunity to showcase Halo and all its other products. We will be launching a 2 Tier Affiliate program and other promotional tools through a longer term marketing blitz that will encompass brand and product awareness and in general promoting what we have already delivered on to the crypto community.

      Utility this is another question the community has posed, With the launch of the Central Exchange, Halo will start to have some added utility, holding Halo will bring reduced trading fees and reduced funding fees. The main utility behind Halo has always been as a transport layer of value between the projects, to distribute the service fees to the masternode holders.  But in creating our chain we created a phenomenal coin.  We will continue to research and develop more ways to utilize it and incentivize those who hold and use it.

      We have not forgotten the DEX either! There are plans to promote the DEX to work in tandem with the CEX.  While the future of DEX’s in general remain in the air, most failing to see adoption, there is a very practical use for them though in the fact they are a Peer to Peer exchange layer that has a number of applications outside of just the actual exchange you use,  and we will work on developing those uses with our upcoming partners.
      We are working on several comprehensive policy documents to define the Decentralized and Centralized listing requirements and formal listing request procedures. We will have further information documents on how easy it is to do business with Halo, how our ICO and IEO listings work.


      Moving Forwards
      We are still sustainable (through our scaling and consolidating efforts)
      We are still developing our core products to deliver
      We are focusing on the centralized exchange development with all hands working   towards it.
      We will deliver on the CEX (centralized exchange)
      We will deliver on Masternode V2 (Payments in other coins, increased speed of dapp)
      We will deliver on Texas Hold’em
      We will deliver on the Casino
      We are working towards backfilling essential personal
      We have new projects coming on board that are partnering with Halo and giving us more exposure.
      We are developing a marketing strategy for the new launches .
      The new website is in development  and it will give an updated view of the HALO project and showcase all our products.
      We are in active discussions with several exchanges but as mentioned not all information can be disclosed.
      There are many more projects on our roadmap for 2019 and we will progress to those once the Casino and the CEX are delivered. We don’t want to over promise and under deliver. There is too much of that in the crypto sphere at the moment.

      Over the coming weeks we will give more comprehensive details on the above information, more in depth answers, these will include details of future promotions, and announcements for the finalization of partnerships,

      Halo is positioning itself to be a solid platform, a product and a project that can be trusted, with a sound reputation.  We will never waiver from this core DNA or compromise our integrity regardless of opportunities that arise.  It is who we are.

      From my heart I know this is not an easy message to read, as it was not easy to type.  Even though Halo is still blazing forward I truly wish it was with the recognition it deserves.



      There is an AMA channel in Discord and here are a few of the questions asked:

      Q:Are the team expecting to finish CEX and Casino/Holdem in Q2 or later?
      A:"Still for Q2, These are three individual teams working on the projects.  Casino is a separate project from Texas Hold'em."


      Q:Will there be a listing fee to get on CEX?  That might be a marketing budget boost for the whole platform for a little while
      A:Yes, the CEX will require a listing fee.  We also plan to hold community voting contests on the platform where they will purchase Halo to vote for their favorite projects to get listed.  I plan to have these held monthly.  It will be an easier way for coins to get recognized and another use for Halo.

      Q:If there is one thing that I would like to see is a simple page what you´re working on and in what order
      A:Thats pretty simple, CEX Casino and Texas Hold'em atm from individual teams.

      Q:how will coins get listed on the dex will there be a howto on the main page
      A: Yes, we are creating the google doc for them to submit for listing, along with what we require (smart contract info, chain info etc)

      Q:What has been the biggest mistake so far on this project?
      A: Honestly, the marketing.  We fell short on delivering a clear message with our products.  We delivered them, but not the follow up.  We felt that the with delivery we would see more organic growth and marketshare.  Something that we are working hard to rectify now.

      Q:Will the CEX launch in Q2 be the full public launch after testing is completed ?
      A: Yes, we will have a few rounds of testing, bot trading to simulate volume (paper trading, no real btc etc), plus inviting beta testers to get human feedback

      Q:Not expecting a very specific answer (just give a ballpark answer if you can). But how much revenue would the CEX need to generate in order to keep halo afloat for 1 year?
      A:With our reduction in expenses (moving from AWS being one of the largest), that number is about 2.5m a day in trading volume, which would generate enough revenue to not only stay afloat but grow.

      Q:How many actual team members are at Halo now?  4, 5, 20, 30?
      Will you be posting jobs publicly for talent acquisition?
      A: We have approximately 12 team members with contractors included.  This includes 4 core team members, and eight contractors.  Though the contractors may fluctuate as it is two separate teams and they operate their own companies.  That is just their current members working on the projects.
      Yes, as we can define what it is we need to fill, plus make budget for them we will post publicly as we have for most positions.

      Q:Why do you think adoption has been far less than anticipated? What strategies can be actioned cheaply with a lean budget in mind? Particularly to avoid the CEX release resulting in a similar situation to the DEX?
      A: DEX is nearly a completely different beast then a CEX.  It's actually harder to compare them.  Even binance dex proves that (230 BNB volume)

      Q:So what projects are the contractors working on? CEX? Or games?
      And as a follow up question to that, how many of your core team members are left on block & chain? It seems that whole team has left and the projects launched are just floating there.
      Are you looking to do another round of funding since all of the current funds have been spent?
      A:Contractors are working on Casino titles, another team on Texas Hold'em.
      BnC has no core team members left on full time staff.  We have capacity to contract them back for certain necessities.  The projects are not just floating, they are mostly complete.  Dragons breeding and battle races I expect to have in q3.
      We do have an equity round open and we are in talks with a few strategic partners who have an expressed interest.

      Q:Is downward pressure caused by selling MN fees on the DEX also?
      A:No, I actually do not sell into buy orders on the dex, we have liquidity provided on the sell side though but never bottom orders or any type of wall that would hurt the price


      If you have any questions, post them here and I'll get them answered, or join discord or TG here: https://discord.gg/PmveA6A (https://discord.gg/PmveA6A)       https://t.me/haloplatform (https://t.me/haloplatform)

      Utility this is another question the community has posed, With the launch of the Central Exchange, Halo will start to have some added utility, holding Halo will bring reduced trading fees and reduced funding fees. The main utility behind Halo has always been as a transport layer of value between the projects, to distribute the service fees to the masternode holders.  But in creating our chain we created a phenomenal coin.  We will continue to research and develop more ways to utilize it and incentivize those who hold and use it.

      We have not forgotten the DEX either! There are plans to promote the DEX to work in tandem with the CEX.  While the future of DEX’s in general remain in the air, most failing to see adoption, there is a very practical use for them though in the fact they are a Peer to Peer exchange layer that has a number of applications outside of just the actual exchange you use,  and we will work on developing those uses with our upcoming partners.
      We are working on several comprehensive policy documents to define the Decentralized and Centralized listing requirements and formal listing request procedures. We will have further information documents on how easy it is to do business with Halo, how our ICO and IEO listings work.


      Moving Forwards
      We are still sustainable (through our scaling and consolidating efforts)
      We are still developing our core products to deliver
      We are focusing on the centralized exchange development with all hands working   towards it.
      We will deliver on the CEX (centralized exchange)
      We will deliver on Masternode V2 (Payments in other coins, increased speed of dapp)
      We will deliver on Texas Hold’em
      We will deliver on the Casino
      We are working towards backfilling essential personal
      We have new projects coming on board that are partnering with Halo and giving us more exposure.
      We are developing a marketing strategy for the new launches .
      The new website is in development  and it will give an updated view of the HALO project and showcase all our products.
      We are in active discussions with several exchanges but as mentioned not all information can be disclosed.
      There are many more projects on our roadmap for 2019 and we will progress to those once the Casino and the CEX are delivered. We don’t want to over promise and under deliver. There is too much of that in the crypto sphere at the moment.

      Over the coming weeks we will give more comprehensive details on the above information, more in depth answers, these will include details of future promotions, and announcements for the finalization of partnerships,

      Halo is positioning itself to be a solid platform, a product and a project that can be trusted, with a sound reputation.  We will never waiver from this core DNA or compromise our integrity regardless of opportunities that arise.  It is who we are.

      From my heart I know this is not an easy message to read, as it was not easy to type.  Even though Halo is still blazing forward I truly wish it was with the recognition it deserves.



      There is an AMA channel in Discord and here are a few of the questions asked:

      Q:Are the team expecting to finish CEX and Casino/Holdem in Q2 or later?
      A:"Still for Q2, These are three individual teams working on the projects.  Casino is a separate project from Texas Hold'em."


      Q:Will there be a listing fee to get on CEX?  That might be a marketing budget boost for the whole platform for a little while
      A:Yes, the CEX will require a listing fee.  We also plan to hold community voting contests on the platform where they will purchase Halo to vote for their favorite projects to get listed.  I plan to have these held monthly.  It will be an easier way for coins to get recognized and another use for Halo.

      Q:If there is one thing that I would like to see is a simple page what you´re working on and in what order
      A:Thats pretty simple, CEX Casino and Texas Hold'em atm from individual teams.

      Q:how will coins get listed on the dex will there be a howto on the main page
      A: Yes, we are creating the google doc for them to submit for listing, along with what we require (smart contract info, chain info etc)

      Q:What has been the biggest mistake so far on this project?
      A: Honestly, the marketing.  We fell short on delivering a clear message with our products.  We delivered them, but not the follow up.  We felt that the with delivery we would see more organic growth and marketshare.  Something that we are working hard to rectify now.

      Q:Will the CEX launch in Q2 be the full public launch after testing is completed ?
      A: Yes, we will have a few rounds of testing, bot trading to simulate volume (paper trading, no real btc etc), plus inviting beta testers to get human feedback

      Q:Not expecting a very specific answer (just give a ballpark answer if you can). But how much revenue would the CEX need to generate in order to keep halo afloat for 1 year?
      A:With our reduction in expenses (moving from AWS being one of the largest), that number is about 2.5m a day in trading volume, which would generate enough revenue to not only stay afloat but grow.

      Q:How many actual team members are at Halo now?  4, 5, 20, 30?
      Will you be posting jobs publicly for talent acquisition?
      A: We have approximately 12 team members with contractors included.  This includes 4 core team members, and eight contractors.  Though the contractors may fluctuate as it is two separate teams and they operate their own companies.  That is just their current members working on the projects.
      Yes, as we can define what it is we need to fill, plus make budget for them we will post publicly as we have for most positions.

      Q:Why do you think adoption has been far less than anticipated? What strategies can be actioned cheaply with a lean budget in mind? Particularly to avoid the CEX release resulting in a similar situation to the DEX?
      A: DEX is nearly a completely different beast then a CEX.  It's actually harder to compare them.  Even binance dex proves that (230 BNB volume)

      Q:So what projects are the contractors working on? CEX? Or games?
      And as a follow up question to that, how many of your core team members are left on block & chain? It seems that whole team has left and the projects launched are just floating there.
      Are you looking to do another round of funding since all of the current funds have been spent?
      A:Contractors are working on Casino titles, another team on Texas Hold'em.
      BnC has no core team members left on full time staff.  We have capacity to contract them back for certain necessities.  The projects are not just floating, they are mostly complete.  Dragons breeding and battle races I expect to have in q3.
      We do have an equity round open and we are in talks with a few strategic partners who have an expressed interest.

      Q:Is downward pressure caused by selling MN fees on the DEX also?
      A:No, I actually do not sell into buy orders on the dex, we have liquidity provided on the sell side though but never bottom orders or any type of wall that would hurt the price

      TL;DR...soooooooooooo basically:

      -bear market fucked us
      -we are very tight on 'funds' (this is always a very very bad sign for crypto project lol)
      -some devs are gone but we're still working on to many things with to little staff
      -tech still good, hopefully we can actually implement it and get ppl using it
      -it'll take awhile before anything happens re. the above and any other releases (that matter)
      -only then can we do any marketing/promo (who knows when that'll be)
      -dex/cex whatever the hell it is hopefully sees some improvement and the price of halo hopefully sees some volume/improvement as well

      Lmao I was literally waiting on you to come at this with a bad light. I literally refreshed the page knowing you would respond like you always do. You can try to bend it however you want to but it doesn't change the fact that the core of Halo's products are amazing products. They have one of the fastest blockchains out there with free transactions. They have failed epicly at marketing,  Scott admits this repeatedly as a failure and we can all agree that they need to market their products more. Take it how you want it. They are self sustainable now with the current market and are still cracking away at things. I know top 100 Mcap coins that have 3-4 devs, Halo still has 12 total and are self sustainable. They will have the Centralized exchange out in the next 60 days. Apparently referrals will be just as generous as Binance referrals were. The CEX will have Margin/leverage trading. Poker/Texas Holdem will be out in 60 days as well. They also mentioned 3 possible IEO's on the CEX and he is in talks with other projects that are considering porting or building on the Halo blockchain.

      yes and no.  yes i agree the tech is great, etc. etc. etc. and yes they have failed to date.  but also no to seeing any sustainable or viable price action, increase or volume.  

      i hope you prove me wrong on the 'no' part.  halo really dropped the ball and i hope it doesn't take another fucking year before the price gets up off the basement floor.  cause that's where it is and will stay until something BIG happens.

      (you can't call me wrong or fudding, cause the charts and history of this coin don't lie, it's out there for all to see lmao).  better get hiring some help and hope whatever the hell howdoo is gets vol's going. ;)

      Not disagreeing with you at all on that  ;D That's not FUD to me lol it's obvious they have dropped the ball, Scott admits that one of the failures was being more development with no marketing. So it's still massively under the radar. He didn't want to be like most of the others where it was just pure hype. But now that they have products out it won't be pure hype, they have stuff to show off. They are signing contracts now on marketing and preparing for the release of the CEX and texas holdem. He mentioned there will be a few IEO's as well, we all know they are repackaged ICO's but they are the hype right now. I'm excited for the generous referral program as well. Lets just see what happens in the next 2-3 months.

      People hardly know this project it looks good on paper they should do continous marketing of this project the price is not good in the market and it's just a matter of time before this coin is dead we are entering in a bull run but unfortunately this project is still not performing better in the market.

      Halo Platform is dead already.  Any halo coins actually being sold on the HaloDex are coins owned by the team. I have spoken with several bag holders who placed orders on the dex, only to see other orders get filled at higher asking prices than theirs.  Scott and the team respond...ooh..must be a bug or a glitch....Here are some great articles that may help you understand what a shitcoin Halo really is.

      Well...let's see....one of the busiest days this year in crypto trading...Big moves for almost every coin...especially BTC and ETH.  Let's amble over to the HaloDex and see how things are doing there today....Oh wait a minute...can this be right?  EVERY SINGLE SHITCOIN LISTED ON THE HALODEX HAS ZERO TRADES IN LAST 24HRS.!!!!  This includes HALO.  How is this even possible?  How's that freight train of a rollout schedule coming along Scott.  Recourier has to be loving this too....although I am sure that Scott and Recourier are super busy readying the launch of TRX (tron) on the HaloDex....remember that contest a few months ago?  All the hype about a free listing....Tron wins it, and months later, still not listed...lol.  That's how you build confidence in your project.  Oh well...at least the Poker game and casino are generating huge profits for Masternode holders...oh wait...whut?  They got shitcanned too huh?  That's your boy Scott Morrison and his buddy Recourier making all the right moves...lol

       Scott Morrison released a lengthy screed to Halo followers...and it was a doozy....so to recap…Halo and all the work done so far is a load of hot garbage. Scott has made some awful decisions along the way, and now, is expecting everything to change with the change to ERC-20? Really? The games still blow, and are basically being shelved for now (probably because of the cost of porting them to Ethereum). The HaloDex is and always was junky and clunky. The list of crap coins is tiny and nobody except Halo hodlers use it. They have never gained any strong adoption from any of the coin listing communities. Now they are dumping the network (so the fabled “Decimated” partnership is toast I imagine too). And the new goal is to have a high liquidity exchange running on ETH 2.0…only problem is they are about 3 years late to the party…there are already a ton of decentralized exchanges with real liquidity (think Uniswap).

      What difference is there between what Halo is proposing, and any other upstart creating a new token and jumping on the ETH 2.0 bandwagon right off the bat? Any team with half a brain and a clear idea of a roadmap should be able to get smart contracts in place and outpace and outperform Halo in a few weeks…

      Recourier should take Morrison’s dick out of his mouth and stop trying to shill this bag of shit. Halo is going nowhere.


      Title: HaloDEX Listing Campaign Winner Announcement
      Post by: dukeru on July 20, 2020, 02:41:40 AM
      Let's remember one other thing....HaloDex announced a contest about 8 months ago, with the grand prize being a free listing for a token on the Halodex exchange.  The winner was TRON, and 7 months ago, they announced that they were reaching out to TRON to basically get integration underway.  Fast forward to today...TRON has never been listed on the dex.  No mention is made of it anywhere.  Wonder why?  I'm sure Justin Sun or one of his underlings basically had a good laugh at their "good fortune" and then deleted the email.  Why would they even consider being listed on a DEX with no market maker, no liquidity, no user base, and a clunky hard to use interface?  I'm sure for TRON is was a hard pass.

      Everyone, this is Halo's former CTO. I was with Halo up until Feb 2019, helped launch the coin, platform and Master Node provisioning system on AWS, I also provided this account for use in the ICO. I left when Scott ran the company into the ground and ran out of money, and lied to my face when I asked him if we were in dire financial conditions.

      He made terrible decisions that affected our bottom line, repeatedly. He owes me in excess of $20K in back pay. I have 4 million Halo that is worth squat. I'm sorry this turned out this way. Hopefully, everyone made up their losses with the recent surge in BTC and alts.

      Good luck to all. If I can figure out how to lock this thread down I will be doing that next.
