Hi everyone,

Today is a special day for Dether’s community, we’re thrilled to launch the Dether bounty program! Many of our supporters have asked questions about it and today we’d like to give our early supporters the opportunity to get involved in making this happen.

Reward Distribution:


A portion (3%) of the initial DTR supply will be granted for those who participate in the following Bounty categories:

• Bitcointalk Signatures and Avatar: 30%
• Translation: 25%
• Blog Posts: 15%
• Bug Bounty: 15%
• QA Testers: 5%
• Social Networks: 10%

---

How can I earn DTR?

To earn DTR, simply accumulate stakes by the end of the DTR token sale. At the end of the tokens sale, stakes for each category will be added up and used to calculate the number of DTR you will receive. The number of DTR you will receive for a particular bounty category is proportional to the number of stakes you’ve earned in that category.

For example:

• You earn 10 stakes for a translation
• There are a total of 60 contributors who have each earned 10 stakes
• At the end of the token sale, there are 5,000 DTR allocated to the category Translation:

Then you will earn 5,000 * 10/ 600 = 83 DTR.

I found out about it in the Meta section by complete accident and i decide to bump this thread in case some people want to continue to speak about it here on bitcointalk. The main thread is one of the top 10 threads with the most replies on bitcointalk so i guess it was still somehow active ^^

This thread was created after Sasha close the main one because of trolls and fud. It was created so people that want to discuss about WAVES here would still able to do. But it was abandoned once the main thread was back online ^^

I guess this thread can rise again since the main WAVES thread was lock (again). (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1387944.msg21392734#msg21392734)

Why on Earth Would These People buy Ether?


Knowing your target audience should be everyone’s top business obsession. Since the beginning of our journey at Dether, we’ve always asked ourselves: who are we targeting? What problems are these people facing? To what extent does the situation differ from one region to another? How are we going to reach them? These questions seem simple; yet, they are crucial for our success! It has led us to meet with our potential community of users to better understand their needs and frustrations, and this has proven to be a golden opportunity to better shape Dether.

After publishing Dether’s market study stressing our go-to-market strategy, the Dether team is happy to present a brief introduction of our target audience! This is not a complete overview of Dether’s target audience, but it gives a better understanding of who we are targeting. Although we’ve talked to many potential users who’ve shown us many different motivations for their interest in cryptocurrency, we’ve decided to pick four personas of users that inspired us. Their photos are not shown, and their names have been changed in order to preserve their anonymity.

The Missing Piece to Make Cryptocurrency a True “Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”


Decentralization is at the heart of blockchain; it is even viewed, in the words of Vitalik Buterin¹ as “blockchain’s entire raison d’être.” While, Bitcoin paved the way for the first use case of blockchain technology; an “electronic peer-to-peer cash system”² as described by Satoshi Nakamoto, Ethereum enables anyone to build unstoppable applications: a trustless digital world where its applications don’t have any kind of censorship, fraud or third party interference. A world where you can participate in a democratic and autonomous organization without previously knowing any participants.

In fact, when one buys ether (Ethereum cryptocurrency), it then becomes possible to access and interact with the Ethereum blockchain. While we’re living in an important time in history, where blockchain technology, and especially Ethereum, is changing the world, one of its greatest challenges remains mass adoption.

Dether: Breaking Barriers To Ethereum Mass Adoption


Dether will make it possible for anyone to buy and sell Ether with cash, and to spend it in nearby shops. The company plans to achieve this with a peer-to-peer network they are currently building. The Alpha is expected to be released in Q3 2017.

I am strongly convinced that Ethereum can only go mainstream if several “killer apps” are developed on top of it. The internet needed a search engine to structure all its data. Ethereum needs a platform that enables everybody to acquire Ether.  This is where Dether comes into play.

As this project is of great interest for me, I was lucky enough to interview Hamid, one of the co-founders of Dether.


Full interview on the CoinNoob website.

Regarding the potential fees, it will be announced later on.

And no it's not riskier than on a pc as long as you take a lot of care of what you're downloading and installing on your phone. Like on a pc. If you download untrusted apps, then if anything bad such as a virus end up it your device it will be your responsibility. But no matter what, the app will be designed to be as secure as possible. A seed will be generated at the start of the application which will then be encrypted and stored on the device where the app is installed.

Coin interview with Dether cofounders Mehdi and Hamid




The full interview can be found on Youtube.

I did just pointed out a 'funny' coincidence. Since you both complain about kcud_dab and that you did vouched for him while he's doing crappy translations.

D'ailleurs je suis curieux. Mis l'ann que j'ai quote, et si tu l'as déjà fait ou si tu le fais maintenant, j'aimerais bien que nous dise si tu continue de le soutenir (ou pas) en voyant une telle traduction.

Can only count 5 on the topic in the random section of the french subforum, 6 with the guy that can't translate correctly. I'm not going to dig the whole forum to find out how many users are complaining.

Again, you don't even seem to understand english too, i didn't say that you're not french, i actually don't care. Even while tired a normal french speaker will not make that much mistakes and such a shitty translation.

What i was asking you was that you send me the topic you were trying to post. To try to find out the reasons why it keep being deleted.

And never said that you did used google translate. But if the translation you're trying to post is a well written as the one i pointed out, sorry but the mod he's in his right to keep deleting your topic. A google translate translation would been more understandable and with less mistakes than that.

Nice try to edit your thread and try to correct some of your mistakes after i point it out. It just prove how dishonest you are.



All the edits will be in red.


I stop here because i can't correct such a shit without having the original text. It's so poorly translated that i can't even understand what you're trying to say a lot of times.


So for trying to cheat and lie about the mistakes on your thread you're just going to end up with a red trust. I hope FT Bank didn't pay for such a poorly written and sometimes not even understandable translation.


Btw just in case you're trying to edit your topic and lie again:

The point is not to prove that you are french or not. But just to see the quality of your translation.

And funny that it's LeGaulois that did vouched for you since you are both complaining about the mod of the french section.

Oh and sorry but your translations are poorly written. There is a LOT of very basic mistakes on them. If the ANN you're trying to post is written like this one then i understand why he keep deleting it.

Please send the translated post your did. Can't really judge if he's right or not on that one without seing what you were trying to post.

And i don't replacing such a community member would be a good idea. And there is actually no 'old' community member with enough trust, reputation and experience as a moderator that would be willing to take his place anyway.

The mod is active. Some users just think that the moderator is some kind of robot that spend his days and nights without sleeping reading all the posts in the french section. So they don't take their times reporting posts but prefer to go and complain when the mod don't delete what they think should be deleted.

So adding another moderator in the french section might be a good idea but it's not really needed.

Creating a peer-to-peer bridge between fiat currency and Ethereum cryptocurrency


With Dether, any ether owner can become a teller and have an accessible way to make money. Ether sellers can become mobile ATMs by being on the Dether map and selling ether for fiat currency anywhere in the world at any time.

Users interested in buying ether can discover ether sellers near them on the Dether map, the app’s built-in location system. Users can view a seller’s ether/fiat rate and fees and chat anonymously via an encrypted peer-to-peer messaging solution to agree on the trading conditions and the meeting point to carry out the exchange.

On the Dether map, users can even locate physical stores that accept ether as a means of payment, or who wish to trade ether for cash. This represents a unique opportunity for merchants. As Ethereum popularity explodes across the globe, more and more businesses are accepting ether.

“Our mission is to break barriers to foster Ethereum mass adoption,” said Hamid Benyahia, Dether co-founder. Frustrated at the fact that his family members in Algeria, restricted by the Algerian dinar, weren’t able to interact with the Ethereum blockchain, he searched for a solution that would make Ethereum accessible to anyone on Earth. Dether was born.

Dether, the World’s First Peer-to-Peer Ether Network, Will Change the Game for Ethereum Mass Adoption


Powered by Ethereum smart contracts, Dether is a revolutionary new way for anyone on Earth to buy ether using cash and spend it at physical stores nearby. Unlike existing solutions, a user doesn't need a bank account, only a mobile phone with internet access.

While the Ethereum blockchain opens the doors to a trustless digital world where its applications don’t have any kind of censorship, fraud or third party interference, its hurdle is mass adoption. Buying ether is currently a long and difficult process. Dether wants to change that.

For the first time, a decentralized application (Dapp) is creating a worldwide ecosystem of ether buyers, sellers and physical stores willing to trade ether for fiat cash and accept it as a means of payment.
