I have heard you say this (quote below) a couple of times, it concerns me that you are suggesting that the coins are not meant as an actual currency but only an in app advertising token. I'm guessing this is to tread carefully in regulatory environment but people should know they might never be able to use these coins outside the app to actually buy something basically?

If so you should be clear this is a closed system ultimately. Its not going to be attractive to users if they are told they can't actually buy anything at all with the gems. Therefore the main motivation to use this particular app disappears. And  can't imagine teenage girls trading the coins for Bitcoin on exchanges and then using BTC anytime soon.

"Gems are a product designed to be used to advertise on the Gems network. Until we have finished building the application and the advertising functionality Gems are still inherently tradable between users since this is a core functionality of the blockchain technology. The only reason you should be purchasing Gems is to use as an advertising credit in the future or in order to support the Gems application development."



The problem is the value of Gems is not based on the use as a currency but only as an advertisement payment. So even if you were get to have a few million users its not like Bitcoin where they are currency holders but the value is based on what advertisers will pay to connect to those million users. Which is a lot lot lot less than people think. Imagine a popular blog gets a million viewers, doesn't mean an advertisers ie Google ads will bring much revenue for the blog, some but its not much. Plus chat apps are not the best place for advertising anyway.

What's the deadline for BTT stakes?

I already did mine but I assume you can't distribute until all have been redeemed?

Thanks for the update, something like this every week or two is what we need. I still wonder if we should go OS if anything so others can help solve problems but I'll leave that decision and timing up to your wisdom.

After 40 days and almost no movement on many of these issues I think its fair to ask what is going on with OS?

I don't have a problem but some on the list haven't even been touched and could be done in hours or a few days.

-A new moderated thread? Would take a minute.
- Better communication through the blog? Thats vague as hell.
-Fix issues? I didn't see anyone has any issues with new client and again vague.
-Website? The old one is only a few months old, its not critical.
-A new logo? why? And if its likely to be a community thing why arent we setting up the bounty and having people post their ideas?

I think as a community we need to push Qora a bit for clearer answers. This list seems vague at best and doesn't seem to be moving anywhere fast and aren't actually that important. The list is ironically focused on communicating Qora better. 

Why don't you have the worlds population, around 7 Billion? At least its a figure that means something.

You know and I know Qora is not a shitcoin, how can a brand new code that is reported to have a neat and well developed code be a shitcoin? Don't you know the definition of a shitcoin.

Now is Qora traded at a price normally reserved for shitcoins? Yes it is, but that's an opportunity not a negative. How can a coin once OS with i'm sure some great assets working on its AE with turning complete be traded as worthless? The question is almost laughable once you look at the facts.

Its worth remembering NXT already had moved 1000's% before OS and only popped 30% briefly at OS.

The developer is development focused calm and mild mannered with zero hype. I know that hard for the thrill seekers on this forum but most of the hyped coins of the last year have already popped and been forgotten. Qora will be around for years.

FACT: We have suffered from low vol since Sharexcoin decided it was gonna run off with early investors coins and then dump them. By then we had low vol and one guy who was determined to manipulate the price down and has nearly 10% of the coins now.   


At some point the guy will stop edging the price down and will pump this coin to the moon on this low vol. So no the beast is sleeping not dead.

Amazing!

when is the launch? We are getting past early Nov on the OP info.

You think he is slow in implementing AT? You wanna show me anyone else who has already done it? Actually this is not the work of Qora, I assume he is just guiding the AT developers. So any perceived slowness of a unique anf first feature is down to that team and complexity of the work. Great time to buy now cause when they are done there will be a pop.

It would be good to get a progress report though. Vrontis?

What does price discovery mechanism actually mean in practice?

Will the initial sale price change over time?

What happened to the new wallet, branding website etc that was going to come soon preceeded by OS?


Has AT delayed these plans?

Positivity needs to return to this thread. The trick is not to go down the rabbits hole of FUD'ers and kind of ignore them, when you try to respond and care what they say they win.

Clearly he is joking..


Bitcoin took a real hit from the recent dump probably from Etherueum goons dumping the proceeds of the sale, they have nothing good to give to to Crypto in my opinion. I think it also hit the confidence of people too but I think we will edge up to $500 as we hear of more bank failures etc. Bitcoin at $350-400 is hardly a disaster anyway!

Any news on whether an off app store download is going to become available or why some can't download?.

Since when does Libertarian mean no laws? laws particularly land rights are essential part of Libertarian thinking. Anarchism is something else again. 

Lets use the stakes to make a MOVIE!!!!

Brad Pitt and a gang of Crypto Nerds in a future zombie apocalypse battles the Federal Reserve with nothing more than NEM and semi automatics.


Others ideas for movies:

In the NEM of the Father
The Man With No NEM
NEM Country for Old Men
NEMtanic
Gremlins 2: The NEM batch
Dr NEM
Look Who's Talking NEM
Star Wars: Episode IV - A NEM Hope
Finding NEM

ETC.....

The SEC is an American organisation which isn't gonna have much bearing on an IPO in Israel is it.

I got this guy at 99% likely of just creating FUD but I admit I'm a little bit wondering what is going on, someone is selling 23btc! Worth, could Qora be dumping? Does the guy really know something we don't?
