Yes, really interesting comparison. NXT and Ardor are the jacks of all trades.
Missing the programmable smart contracts. Big deal... But checking all the rest. That brings more security though. Just develop a deep list of APIs that those who have use for it will need. Thus making it more secure. That way a clever hacker won't see a flaw in poorly written code and steal all the coins. DAO. |

It's not, unless you're a Bitcoinmaximus. And even then, probably not.

People hear talking about X3 are just delusional....its only 50% profit by know on Liqui's IOU and that is known the IOU's are ike 50% over real market price at least....
Dream high brother! in the worst case you'll achieve half..taking it this moment Lots of last year projects are valued 10+ times higher than ICO. Explain why DECENT isn't worth at least 3 times... If DECENT dlivers a working products, then 3 times will be extremely low... Don't forget about Naughty America. That alone will send it to at least 6.9x ico Naughty America and Decent crossed my mind today. If they use Decent in such a way that it could become popular for those who watch their naughty movies, and then it starts gaining more traction, and more traction by their users, new users, this Decent could be a multi billion dollar coin. I better start saving up to buy more coins. Decent must really take advantage. Particular with whatever anti piracy functions it has. If it proves successful with Naughty America, then even more popular naughty movies company will start using it. And probably main stream companies. Remember, it's also meant to also save the content provider money by the way it delivers content. Can we say the P word? I went out of my way not to say it. |

Any reviews or screenshots?
I think no one could run GUI  This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb". I could not configure QT xcb libraries. Console version works  Thanks for the screen shots. Just wish I understood it better. |

Can't wait for the Windows version. It's the version most people will use.

I received newsletter from Decent that the testnet is set and I saw that only 200 people will be allowed first but to my surprise, I have not seen many people reporting on the testnet, feedback on the testnet would be great to have
Why only 200 people will be allowed to participate in the testnet mainnet? its not public? Check our latest blog where the invitations batches are explained: https://decent.ch/en/decent-testnet-1-caesar-launch-information/200 people were invited in the first batch, next batches coming soon. What, only 200 people that you invite into feasible testnet test, while many who applied for registration in things to see and witness the testnet decent test .. Check out their latest blog https://decent.ch/en/decent-testnet-1-caesar-launch-information/I'm actually excited that 200 people got invites, and so many didn't. In the sense that it shows that there's a lot of interest in this first test net. |

|

I also got my invitation for testnet into 1st batch but I'm Windows users so I can't use this one there. That's why will wait until it will be available to Windows. Good to see progress is going into good direction and soon we will be able to use mainnet.
You can try downloading virtualbox and run Linux on a virtual machine. I would do that, but no invite. |
|
|
|
|
Little by little the bugs will be fixed, thus the purpose of the testnet? When is the next batch of invites?

I'm hoping for a marketcap of over $50,000,000 after a couple of months after it's released.
Surely. It must be no less than Augur. Prediction market is bulls**t. Trump is there to prove them wrong. By no means it can be valued higher than Decent. This should be at least a top ten coin. I don't see why people were so focused on Iconomi instead of Decent. Maybe the reason is DECENT hasn't even released and also not available on any exchange yet. It's extremely obvious that I'm talking about the ICO of both coins. If you read the conversations in the quotes, and my previous comment, you would see that the conversation is about the expected market cap for Decent after a few months after launch. Obviously you didn't read that, but comprehension would tell you that a person making such a comment would not think that the coin is available. Why would they if they have knowledge of something obscure and somewhat complicated that takes some awareness. either I know about the coin, or I don't so would not be commentating about it, unless it was asking for information, and if I know about the coin the I would know it hasn't launched. Iconomi was running an ICO during the same time as Decent, and it was extremely hyped. People were expecting the marketcap for that coin to be in the billions, it's not doing anywhere near that at the moment. So the comment is saying that people should have focused on this coin, because I see a bigger potential for Decent. |

Is decent will be mine? If so, in what way ?
You mine with your hard drive space. Could dedicate a low power computer for the task. |

Not balls in at all. I hate it, due to the description you gave of teenagers. Just the culture of fascination with oneself.

Things don't just slow down. If you have a phone that suddenly got slow, then the software is the problem. If you were to factory reset, it doesn't mean it's going to still be slow just because the phone is older. Phones don't age the way humans do.

All that ico money, they should be able to support a huge team for awhile. What a fat payroll.
That's not good thinking though. Ethereum was being wasteful with their money because they had so much, and lucky for them that they got lucky. Else it could have been really bad news. So the Decent team better be wise with their money. |
|
|

What was the total BTC collected by the Decent team  They raised 5881.35 BTC! Isn't that overfunded? And what was ICO price? I thought they would raise more, considering the ambitions. Looks like a really solid project. |

September 13, the decent company raised 500,000 euros in funds from Element Capital LLC, a US-Chinese fund.
Who are really behind this fund?
September 13, that's after the 50% bonus. |

If I remember from what I read about Decent and Naughty America, they have some type of solution for copyrighted content.
If Decent truly has a "solution" to this as a filmmaker in the Hollywood space (with a blockchain project) I can assure you that it will not be decentralized. And if it is "decentralized" it will not be very efficient at scale. There will be ways to get around this solution as there are ways to get around YouTube's and Google Search's solutions to stopping copyright material. Which again can be done and these entities have Billions of Dollars in funding with highly sophisticated algorithms not thousands of Bitcoin. And you know what's even more interesting? Decentralization of content is not even the biggest pain point in Hollywood or American content at least. As a matter of fact I can argue its not even that big of a deal compared to other serious and measurable paint points. I know they are not really focused on this market but it is where all the real money is at. YouTube as a standalone company is worth $80 Billion and that is because of its American Millennial audience and content creators. I imagine the solution being something like, whoever uploads it first has rights over it. THanks Chris for the continued conversation. I do not know how that criteria would be helpful especially if we are talking about content that "premieres" on another platform and is taken down from there and uploaded to DECENT? Or slightly older content or newish content? Remember DECENT is not well known already and it cannot be assumed that it will automatically become the case. Worst case scenarios should be assumed as that will allow us to gauge the real viability of a technology or value proposition. If current content creators and providers decide to premiere their content somewhere else and it is taken down and uploaded to DECENT before the actual owners that methodology as an upload criteria would become very problematic. At least as an appeal to content creators. I'm not too sure its DECENT's plan. I honestly do not know their plan. Many who know me and our project have pointed me to DECENT in terms of other projects that are in the content space. I actually think its cool that there are others trying to tackle content specifically visual content as there is a lot blockchain technologies can do in this space. Its a very big industry so there is space for many winners. And like any start up in the tech space you need a target demographic that can be defined and a value proposition that will onboard them. I look forward to seeing that with DECENT. Well, in terms of Naughty America, I'm thinking that since they will be the one first with the original content, the first uploading it. Once they uploaded, others cannot upload the same file. Of course people can do other things to overcome that, like putting them in a 7zip file. But right now people get their content for free in various places on the internet. And they're still alive because there are plenty of people still willing to pay for it. In terms of other uploading their content cheaper, I think most users, humans in general, if they have to pay will give the money to the company that's making videos. Especially since the prices are going to be lowered with the fact that Decent makes it cheaper for such a company to publish a movie. The one thing that really can make Decent successful is if the average person finds an easy way of using cash to purchase Decent content. Maybe such a company like the one we're using as an example can sell directly using cash that gets converted to DCTs. Ok thanks for the clarification. I see what you mean there. I'm glad you at least understand there are ways around it. In addition to other use cases that may actually deter content creators from a decentralized content platform. I'm also glad you acknowledge the reality that platforms that actually support paying content are crucial to "free" streaming or torrent platforms survival. As someone who plays in both arenas I can tell you they are both needed at a certain ration in the market. You simply cannot make the highest quality content if everyone gets it for free or free with ads that do not go to the actual content creator. But at the same time content creators who make high quality content need better monetization models that get their content into the hands of consumers fast and at the right price for growth. I will not comment on what can or cannot make DECENT successful as I do not know their target audience for the content creator side or consumer side. I will say this though as an American... If you are leading your platforms content acquisition with Porn content? You are shooting yourself in the foot. There is a reason why Netflix, Amazon, Google Play, Apple TV and other top notch content platforms in the space stay far far far away from outright porn for as long as they can... Why or why Decent would ever look to that market to start with is beyond me. But as I say I do not know who their target market is. But I will say that porn does not make a content platform scale AT ALL. In my opinion it will actually kill a platform that wants to be used by mainstream consumers. Especially if your marketed by word of mouth that porn is a main stay on the platform... You will get killed by the mainstream (At least in America). And your competition will be more than happy to make sure their customers know this about you if you ever even thought about stepping into the market and competing. I really do want to know who they are getting their content acquisition consultation from. I hope its not just anyone who shows up wanting to use our tech first is who we will work with. But hey maybe they know something I don't. Guess we will see. But Decent is decentralized. Nobody controls it. It's meant to distribute any digital contents. It could be Steam, where game creator can sell their games and not have to give 50% to a 3rd party company, for example. Books, authors, etc. Indi mucians can sell their music dirt cheap. It's anything digital. And even if it was just porn, porn is an extremely big industry. But the point is that it's a decentralized technology that lots of different industries can use, so if a family friendly would not use it, then no big deal. If it can make them money, they will use it anyway. In a way it's like saying, Disney will not use the internet because you can use the internet to get porn. When there's so much more than that on the internet. I totally understand this Chris... I think what I am trying to get you to understand is that its not a selling point or a viable value proposition for visual content. At least for mainstream adoption. That does not mean it will not work for other types of content as you mentioned. Im not in those spaces. I'm only talking about Hollywood and visual content as I know the industry very well. And when DECENT was brought up to me people really were selling its use for visual content... Look I'm from Bitshares. We have amazing technology that appealed to so much of the market. We started DPOS and look at its adoption in so many projects. Is our market cap benefiting from it? We have so many features that appeal to so many industries. We had it way before the competition. Did that mean our price would go up? My point is competition IS REAL and features are not a value proposition to beat it. Saying my technology will appeal to everyone is not a viable value proposition. We did it. Didnt work. Also are we not remembering Ethereum? You need business models that can actually sell your technologies use cases from day one in the face of competition.Decentralization is not a value proposition any longer. Especially when the competition can use the very open source technology to get its benefits without the de in decentral.
Finally I can assure you when it comes to marketing. Americans and mainstream consumers will not simply here "its decentralized" and works like XYZ (ie The Internet). If there is questionable content. They will want to know an accountable authority to its uploading criteria. And your competition will use it against you. Decent is for any type of content. I get it. But that is the wonders of its technology and touches on nothing that has to do with its business appeal in a heavily saturated market of competition. Both in the crypto space and outside of it. We might just be measuring success in different ways. I think Decent has a lot of potential, vs other alt coins. Possibly a top 3 coin. So I'm not looking at it as in it has to beat these major corporations, and that it has to become well known to the public as a Netflix is known. Especially since it's coming from a world that most people will not bother giving a thought to. The initial thought of the average person is that people in Crypto is that it's people playing with make believe money. Earlier I mentioned something that it would be beneficial for Decent if anyone publishing content with it could take fiat and converted in real time to DCT, because the average person is just not going to go to an exchange to buy DCT to use. Another good thing going for Decent and its possible success is the hardware that the creators are developing. Not only could that bring in more people into the platform, but it's also something that someone who forks the open source software can do themselves. I have to go to bed. So I'll be back tomorrow. |
