201  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your favorite ICO on: February 23, 2018, 05:22:55 PM
PinkDate is probably my favorite so far. I think what they're doing is really interesting. They're creating an app to hook up with escorts. You can pay with crypto and it provides security and privacy. They screen providers so they are also helping to end sex trafficking. Their ICO starts in a couple of weeks but I got in on pre-ICO. They offer some pretty great referral bonuses too. https://pinkdate.is/

This morning I found out that SYS appeared in the Binance API for available wallets. Some unofficial speculation is going around that SYS could be live soon on Binance Cheesy I think that alone is going to do wonders.

That is the exact post I was read it on. Some people are saying that it could happen at the end of March because there needs to be some technical changes. Not sure about the details of all that, but it's all speculation at this point. At least there is some indication it will be happening in the near future. Cheesy

As far as I know that's not true. SYS is a vanilla blockchain, forked from a mainstream codebase. The extra market data is not relevant to an exchange site. Devs?

Just to clarify, we have no idea when or if Binance will list Syscoin (if ever). We have, however applied for listing.

I honestly have no idea how long it can take to add a coin, big exchanges are often innundated with support requests and for many this typically takes priority to adding a new customer-base.

Technically yes, Syscoin is a fork of Bitcoin but not an exact clone and there are differences in the code which has required us to provide technical assistance to certain exchanges that have listed Syscoin (or that were already listing Syscoin but needed to upgrade). The extra market data isn't relevant to their exchange.

Thanks for the clarification on that. I didn't completely understand those details.

This is probably worth a read to make your mind up on the legitimacy of Xtrade. Decent article followed by response by the developers: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@xanderxietjes/xtrade-io-scam-or-just-dubious

Thanks for that article. I just read it. I'm glad to see that XTRADE responded to it and made a lot of good points. I'm not sure what the gain was for the person writing the article, but the points were pretty bad. For one, as a web developer, I have never found it "fishy" to use whois privacy. It's actually recommended for obvious security reasons. Second, it is not uncommon for people to build a working project before deciding to pay for a domain. Why pay for something you aren't actively using?

It's good that you shared that article because people should definitely do some research before blindly investing. With that said, people shouldn't always assume that privacy is a red flag and believe any article that people put together that tries to scare people out of investing in a project. There are obvious reasons why someone would choose to do that for personal gain or if it provides them with a competitive advantage. As a very careful investor, I see that XTRADE has a working and valuable product, good experience, a solid team, etc. Obviously, any investment in an ICO is a risk that you should research but I think XTRADE is pretty legit.

205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which coin will go 10x soon on: February 21, 2018, 08:35:33 PM
Honestly, I can't say I know what will happen. But I've been investing in many projects and doing a lot of research. A couple of projects I think will be huge are Syscoin and PinkDate. I think Syscoin is great because it's literally being labeled as a BTC rival and it's going to be on Binance soon. Also, they have a working project which is nice.

Pinkdate is a completely different type of project. It a global platform for escorting. There is going to be an app that you can pick escorts and pay with coins. It provides security and convenience and safety for escorts. If you know anything at all about the sex industry, you know it makes a lot of money. Imagine a Tinder for finding an escort and no traceable evidence that you ever hired one because you paid with crypto. I think by the end of 2018 it will be huge. They are having a presale right now. I recommend doing some research on it and looking at their whitepaper on their site: https://pinkdate.is/pinkdate-white-paper-2018.pdf/

In the case that your minimum target is not met, how long will it take for you to refund the money? Hopefully that isn't the case, but I have to ask in case the worst occurs.

I think it's a fair question considering there is 21 hours left of the sale and they aren't nearing the goal. I hope they extend the sale and do more marketing. As far as how long it takes to refund, no idea.

As the director of prisons said, if the basic program goes well they would like to see it implemented with the commissary system in the prison.  As well as the phone system.   There are a lot of builds will would need to do in order to work with each service.  
I see that Q3 there will be inmate apps and interfaces that will undergo development. Could you explain what these apps/interfaces are?

Thanks for your reply. That makes more sense and that type of interface does seem necessary for the system to work properly as a whole. Otherwise, how would tokens be used.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the biggest challenge you see ahead for your team?

One thing I'm curious about is the illegal goods. How do you keep illegal goods off of Blockmarket without a large team actively combating it?


Impossible to do & not required. Different countries have different laws, something that is defined as "illegal goods" in one country can be completely legal in another, & vice versa. Blockmarket is global & the webz does not recognize borders, so the laws of any particular country cannot be applied throughout. If something on the Blockmarket is illegal in your country, don't buy it. Unless you want to of course.

If every law from every country was applied there would be nothing to buy or sell because it would all be "illegal goods".

Understandable. I think your idea seems to be a good course of action. It just doesn't seem practical to keep a large team on something like that so hopefully leaving it up to users will be possible.

I'll repost this as I posted it earlier but want to make sure that you've read my response with regards to moderation:

It is always technically the users responsibility to follow the law, however we do have some control. Blockmarket is the front end Blockchain Foundry Inc has created as a GUI for Syscoin's decentralized marketplace. As Syscoin is completely decentralized, like Bitcoin(or cash for that matter), we have no way of preventing others from using it for illegal purposes. Blockmarket however, does give us the ability to moderate items which we have done in accordance to Canadian laws (as we are based in Canada), we continue to monitor it(and follow reports from our community) and ensure this is followed and ban users accordingly.

Does this mean that anything on the market that is deemed illegal in Canada will be removed/moderated?

Anything on Blockmarket, yes. Syscoin has a built-in-to-the-blockchain decentralized marketplace without Blockmarket and that is impossible to moderate as it is fully decentralized.


This could become a sticky subject, as clearly Blockchain Foundry does not want their market being used for illegal purposes. They could be exposed to legal liability, and people selling drugs and other things would reflect poorly on the company. Unfortunately, black market buyers and sellers could very well be attracted to this decentralized market idea, as they would benefit from the inability to shut down the market. Finally, there are likely to be grey market issues such as trade restrictions or ambiguous import/export laws.

On the flip side, Blockchain Foundry could get bad press for banning too many users, especially if the bans could result in loss of funds. If they have the ability to ban users, couldn't they also confiscate funds and/or freeze accounts? It's a tough question. Perhaps the Blockmarket app could have different listings from an alternate market implementation?

I'm confident these things could be resolved but there definitely need to be some careful considerations.

The issue you are stating is really the same one as for Bitcoin or Fiat. We have not built a UI for dark markets and we promote the fact that we will remove anything that is illegal (on Blockmarket), anyone can certainly create their own dark market but they would need to create a centralized website that harnesses the decentralized features of Syscoin, just like the Silk road did with Bitcoin (sure, developers get more tools than with Bitcoin but the responsability is still on them.

Having the ability to make your own store off the blockmarket using their API could be a great way to circumvent the whole liability aspect. If it's out of your control, what could the courts expect you to do about it? That's like holding the computer manufacturer liable for internet crimes. You gave someone the tool, but you can't control everyone's actions.

I think that it is great that the team will be removing illegal items on Blockmarket but will allow anyone the ability to use the API as well. I'm happy to see the team has already looked into this and created a good solution for everyone.

As the title says: any good sources for trading signals?                                                                           
                                                                           
I found coinloop.io, and they seem pretty good, but you have to wait a while in between (too long actually). And I also think that you can't subscribe to them, so you have to check out the website often (which I was doing anyway because of their other tools) in order to not act too late.                                                                           
                                                                           
Any other sources at the same level of quality? Preferably actually tested with real money.

Is there a full list of features and tools that will be available anywhere? I'd really like to see what exactly they plan to do to combat fraud.

I'm also interested in a specified list of goals and progress so far. It's nice to see how the team is doing.
216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: StreamR DATA - IoT - Unstoppable Data for Unstoppable Apps on: February 10, 2018, 04:50:21 PM
Isn't StreamR blockchain agnostic? Could StreamR ever work with IOTA?

It is actually. That would make for an incredible partnership for the both of them in my opinion.

My thoughts exactly. It seems like a cool idea to get these two teams together to make an even stronger team.
217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: PinkDate ICO for Global Escorting Platform/Service on: February 10, 2018, 04:45:17 PM
What information does the escort get about the client? Does she just get a username and address? Or does she get actual full names?

This is a very interesting question I never really thought of as a potential customer. I understand the importance of my identity being involved, but I would not want the escort to have access to that information for obvious reasons. I would see no benefit for them to have it. Can anyone answer this question?

I'm still wondering if anyone knows anything about these details? Where is the best place to get questions like this answered?

What is the biggest challenge that Syscoin has had so far? How did you guys overcome it?

I would say our biggest challenge was in 2014-2015. We had some big plans to make Syscoin the most useful cryptocurrency and we unfortunately had to really slow down our operations since the escrow provided for our ICO stole most of our funds.

https://www.coindesk.com/uk-court-syscoin-injunction-moolah-750-btc/

We spent countless days of sleepless hours on our dayjobs, continuing Syscoin development and fighting Ryan Kennedy in court, it was exhausting and it felt very demoralizing to tell you the truth.

https://www.ccn.com/alleged-moolah-fraudster-ryan-kennedy-faces-first-court-hearing/

Ryan Kennedy was also put in jail for 11 years for multiple counts of rape:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3724522/Vicious-sex-fiend-emotionally-controlled-three-women-raped-jailed-11-years.html

We learned a lot from our experience:

1-That we will never give up
2-To do our due diligence with everyone we engage
3-We built the world's first decentralized 3rd-party escrow system!

How did we overcome it? We continued with development despite having no funds, a few of our community members loved our project so much that they eventually became team members and the rest is history! Now that we've received $3.3 million in funding we are able to execute our original dream and so much more.


Thanks for your reply. That does sound like a very intense challenge. I was not following the project back then so I had no idea this happened. I'm glad to see you guys overcame it, learned from the experience, and ended up with a lot of funding. It says a lot when a team can overcome something like that and be very successful after!
219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] UniversalCoin - The Free Digital Currency on: February 10, 2018, 04:37:07 PM

Are there any plans to do further work on the coin after all airdrops are complete? Or will value come 100% organically?

I really wish there is some solid plan to add value to the coin, and I would love to work for it. Please feel free to message me if there is a need. I am a software engineer (C++), and can contribute to any project backing UNV.


What do you want UNV to do? This team already has a solid project in my eyes and I think the value could very well happen if enough people join in. I think they have a solid plan as is. I like how they put it previously:


The roadmap has only the airdrop distribution as the main goal. Can you add more substantial objectives dev?

Our main goal is to conduct an experiment into the nature of wealth and value - to see if it's possible to generate wealth for everyone that participates in the project. The airdrops form part of this plan, to disincentivise immediate selling after our initial claim period. We think that learning more about the nature of wealth and trying to enrich people all over the world is a substantial enough goal, and unlike most ICOs we don't actually promise anything we aren't equipped to deliver.

If it makes you happy though, perhaps we could add blockchain to a toaster?  Wink


Sure - I read that, and offered to contribute into analytics already. There has to be some usefulness for the coin to have value. Today, bitcoin has its value because people adopted it and used as a virtual currency - even attached fiat to it for conversion. Unless UNV can satisfy some use case, it will just remain as experiment. Just like the first pizza buy using BTC, maybe someone will offer to sell a painting for UNV, and that would do.

For example, checkout simbi.com - it has its own virtual token, that are used as temporary hold while bartering. Maybe the same concept can be applied to UNV outside of the closed environment like Simbi. Just a thought. I am sure there can be many such cases.

I think I see what you're saying better and I don't think you are wrong. I wonder what use cases UniversalCoin could have. Have you thought of anything interesting? I'm sure the team is interested in hearing unique ideas. At the least, UNV could be used for transactions since it is ERC20.
