Why China and especially South America are more expensive than the USA?  Grin Looks strange.

Obviously it would be easier with smart contarcts, and opportunity to pay in crypto looks like very promising.

Smart contracts are hardly easier but can be safer for both sides.
The main problem, to my mind, that most of the users will have to buy their tokens for fiat money and I doubt that in the end it would be cheaper than non-blockcahin services.

Comparing to existing non-blockchain services like showaround.com or toursbylocals.com or i-likelocal.com - what's the defference and main advantages? Just an opportunity to pay in cryptocurrency?
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] VIO: The future of money transfers on: March 07, 2018, 08:14:22 PM
Why have you chosen african markets to launch first?
25  Other / Archival / Re: How do i Find out the value of a idea on: March 07, 2018, 06:52:18 PM
Well, you could explore the market you're going to work on and answer some simple questions:
- what people's problems am I going to solve
- how much are they going to pay me for
- how much will it cost to me to solve their problems
- how many people am I going to satisfy
- what are my killing features comparing to the similar companies

So everything is like in a classic business. ICO is just a new way to get investment in a transparent way.

I think i have a good idea for a ico that could really be useful. i haven't seen it yet but it could already exist.1) My fear is what protects me once i tell someone of them not taking the idea and running with it ? 2)I feel if done right this idea could be very lucrative to whom ever decides to develop it. so how do i decide the worth? if its just a idea. thanks for any feedback given

1) Sign a non-disclosure agreement.
2) Make a research, find better proof for your idea. You may find out that your idea is already in use, for example.

Looks nice. What are you killing features comparing to other similar apps and how are you going to monetize the app?
28  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [Paybear] What do you think of this new website? on: March 07, 2018, 04:03:44 PM

I think the difference would be its lower transaction fees than to its competitors, as stated on their FAQ. "In the future when we begin charging fees we will give all users at least 30 days notice. Our fees will be in-line with our vision to provide a cost effective solution for Merchants."



Lower fees are declared as the main advantage though no concrete figures are disclosed. Looks shady  Huh
29  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Future : Bitcoin Lighting Network on: March 07, 2018, 02:53:23 PM
You're wrong on this, bitcoin's lightning network is already been implemented (although its not fully operational) but lightning network nodes are now running.

Here's a reference.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7tbuly/the_lightning_network_now_has_5x_more_nodes_and/
https://cointelegraph.com/news/original-pizza-day-purchaser-does-it-again-with-bitcoin-lightning-network

Well, thanks for the links but the stories are more like demonstration of the technology, rather than real business. It would be real if the pizza shop had a payment channel with Hanyecz or his friend. Anyway, Lightning stays very promising so let's just wait a bit.

Waves Lab is interesting as they use the already established Waves crypto as the foundation. Of course this is only to make their Waves platform/ecosystem more popular or perhaps to get a larger slice of the BTC+ETH pie. As much as it seems that they are assisting you - in the end it only enriches them further.

Anyway, it works. I've just checked - Simdaq project has recently reached $5m hardcap with their assistance. So what's the problem?
31  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Future : Bitcoin Lighting Network on: March 06, 2018, 08:16:33 PM
What do you think about this technology ?

Well, it isn't ready yet, so it's quite early to judge. But the idea itself is great.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Is it real to lauch a marketing campaign in 2 weeks before launching an ICO? on: March 06, 2018, 05:38:12 PM
Even if you have experienced advisors it's hardly possible to perform a decent campaign in 2 weeks. Even if you have a website, a whitepaper and all that stuff ready.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Token sale starting in 14 days! on: March 06, 2018, 04:39:50 PM
Do I get it right that the main difference between your project and Telegram is that it isn't connected to a mobile phone number?
34  Economy / Economics / Re: CryptoCurrency or CryptoAsset on: March 06, 2018, 03:54:17 PM
Definitely cant be said as currency. It can be termed as crypto asset cause it is a store of value. Nobody can use bitcoin to pay for a coffee cause first of all the prices are pretty unstable and secondly the transaction takes long to get confirmed and your coffee will get cold.

OK, BTC in real world can't be a convenient payment method. But imagine a blockchain-based service (like p2p house swaping, for example) with its internal cryptocurrency. Its price is determined by amount of active users, so it's not centralized. And cryptocurrency is used to pay for rent.
35  Economy / Economics / Re: CryptoCurrency or CryptoAsset on: March 06, 2018, 01:15:09 PM

USDT is a ticking time bomb, I wouldn't count on such a shady cryptocurrency as a a solution for anything.


What risks do you see in USDT?
36  Economy / Economics / Re: Germany Won’t Tax Cryptocurrencies Used To Make Purchases on: March 04, 2018, 03:48:08 PM
.Some extra tax if you pay that TV with BTC would not make any sense for you because the overall price would be higher in relation to the payment in fiat.

I've just checked Overstock.com (they accept BTC). I haven't found any TVs but I've found a TV stand Smiley It's $267.74 USD or 0.0241324 BTC. Current exchange rate is $11105 per BTC. So the BTC price is exactlty the same. Seller's tax is included already.

Business Insider experts thinks that Bitcoin's gonna rise Japan's GPD by 0.3%. This is a forecast, though Smiley http://uk.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-could-be-adding-03-to-japanese-gdp-2017-12
38  Economy / Economics / Re: Germany Won’t Tax Cryptocurrencies Used To Make Purchases on: March 04, 2018, 12:32:05 PM
I suppose that all these tax exemptions will last until cryptocurrencies become a really global payment method. When you won't have to exchange BTC into fiat to buy smth anymore, countries will have to tax crypto transactions too. So, let's get our benefits while the rules are still quite liberal Smiley
39  Economy / Economics / Re: crypto market demand is increasing on: March 02, 2018, 05:10:51 PM
It's quite obvious that BTC is still under-estimated, so $20K mark is only a matter of time  Cool
40  Economy / Economics / Re: Money vs Barter on: March 02, 2018, 04:59:58 PM
Barter "as is" is ineffective. Even in P2P economy when people trade their services and goods to each other money is involved anyway.
