Migrate to a komodo assetchain guys, put you on the cutting edge of crypto tech

Ripple had an xrp distribution using WCG back in 2013.

Good news to simplify to a single token!

Have you considered migrating to a Komodo assetchain instead, I think they are far superior to erc20, you get a separate chain all to yourself, much faster, cheaper, and via delayed PoW you end up with Bitcoin level security for your token.

Many people can not use bittrex since they froze accounts of non verified users without any grace period to withdraw before the terms and conditions were changed. I can not trade ENRG now, and hope you guys get listed on a decentralised exchange like BarterDEX asap.

Freedom loving people should be cautious about handing over all your identity documents to strangers on the internet! Bittrex are unethical exchange, they have confiscated millions of USD in value from people like me, avoid them!

In a market full of hyped projects sometimes the hidden gems are the ones that adhere to the KISS principle, one such project IMO is CBX aka Bullion (formally Cryptogenic  Bullion).

CBX has low inflation of 2% but adds a simple innovation to tradition PoS whereby coins in offline wallets do not age, so the 2% inflation is only earned by coins in online wallets. This simple common sense change means stake returns only get paid to wallets that are online helping to secure the network, which just makes sense, stake interest is only paid to active wallets, and that means actual real returns for staking are positive i.e staking returns more than inflation so your share of coin supply is actually increasing. This simple feature makes CBX one of the only cryptos I know of that actually pays a 'real' passive income from staking on a regular PC without burning loads of electricity. I consistently earn 8-14% return from staking, which inflation adjusted is 6-12%.

All the five requirements are met by CBX:

1. Dev team active since 2014, PoSP (Pos participation) wallet working since 2016 afaik
2. Use case - low inflation digital store of value with ability to earn real above inflation returns
3. Ridiculously undervalued with MK approx 3M USD (not a typo, yes, well under 10 million USD)
4. Running since 2014, solid dev team, communication is regular, tech updated and supported, Masternode release imminent
5. CBX has had continuous development since mid 2014, a crypto version of a barrel aged whiskey

Just a matter of time IMO before CBX gets more appreciation as a KISS dependable digital store of value, a 100x gain would still give CBX a relatively modest MK of 300 mil USD, +4 years of continual dev support makes CBX a potential next big thing for institutional buyers looking for 'digital gold'.



1. Proven development team - already fully functioning product/software. Tweaks and improvements yet to come fine but the core product is functioning already.
2. Obvious Use case
3. Not already in the top 10
4. Not a scam
5. Long term commitment and proven staying power (not essential but could be a big consideration)

Great work, I love your pool bro!

Komodo does not need Picoin, they don't even know it exists probably. A Picoin delegation would need to approach them, which is 99% unlikely to happen without the original dev, even though a migration to a komodo assetchain really is the future path for 2nd and 3rd tier blockchain and erc20 tokens. Ball is in Picoin court, but unfortunately no dev anymore or even project leader.

Yes, the market is fully saturated now, there aren't any big hidden gems anymore, crypto is becoming boring, lots of decent projects but too many choices available, we need the big shakeout to kill the crap, and send some of the remaining contenders to the moon, and others to tech purgatory where beta video ended up.

Yes I agree, since poloniex and bittrex have implemented kyc policies many first generation crypto traders with privacy and security concerns have left the markets and are waiting for something like BarterDEX to rejoin without all the hassles.

I expect BarterDEX will be user friendly with sufficient liquidity for mass adoption by early 2019, That's a realistic date, but for those willing to put in the effort it's still very usable today, they've just hit 100k atomic swaps milestone.

Ok, understood, I was thinking you were referencing legacy finance industry like forex, shares, bonds and banks, which are chock full of dirty little insider secrets that rape the common people.

Chips is already released, you can buy and hodl today, we just have to wait for the games to be developed to use it, but they won't be Chips the token, it's already here, That's why getting a stack now is such a great opportunity, they're cheap as chips now, but once the games are released the demand will be huge. Once in a lifetime opportunity for those in the know!

That's a great name bro ...

Rchain begat YourChain which begat ImaginaryChain , I like it, has a good feel to it, let's do it!

Good question, probably need to get a bounty from Pi donations and then head over to the komodo slack and start a conversation. The komodo devs have a great platform with these assetchains, when you look into them you quickly realise they are far superior to ethereum erc20 tokens, much faster and cheaper tx fees, and they're independent chains, so don't suffer crypto kitties bottlenecks.

If you guys act fast you could be a good test case for them to refine the migration process, so they have experience when other blockchain and erc20 projects want to migrate.

You could even migrate over to komodo assetchain, and then restart the distribution to rebuild community participation.

Ok, thanks bro, so the PoS ticket subsidy will gradually get smaller over the coming years.

I don't live in an embargoed country, my account was frozen without any notice or grace period to withdraw my funds because bittrex changed their terms of service overnight and required all accounts to become verified, when for the previous 2 years this was not the case. That amounts to theft, worse than bank bail-ins that happened in Cyprus,  at least those people get some bank shares, my funds have been stolen by bittrex, I can only get them back if I send them my personal details which are very likely to be leaked to other parties, like crypto gangsters who will increasingly target known crypto holders for home invasions and robbery.

Never give your personal details to known dishonest people, or incompetent people.

Changing the terms without any warning effected people from all countries,  not just embargoed ones. All bittrex had to do was the same as poloniex, give people advanced notice of the change in the terms of service, I think poloniex did not breach any US government laws by allowing a grace period for unverified accounts to withdraw, this isn't about government regulation, it's about theft.

I've finally managed to setup my wallet and have joined a stake pool, can someone tell me how the ticket process works? I know I buy a ticket, and then when it 'votes' I get some payment but how much does each ticket that votes successfully earn, is it a fixed amount or a % of the ticket price?

Masternode and breeze wallet mainnet release will bring attention to stratis, especially if there are trustworthy people offering masternode pools for smaller investors to profit from masternode earnings. The ICO market is fully saturated now, so many platforms offer ICO features now, but secure safe anonymising of Bitcoin, that is still strangely not available.

There was some good effort at a fair distribution and community building, but nothing more, so a migration to an assetchain on komodo would add some real cutting edge tech innovation, BUT, it would take a few guys with tech skills helping to migrate the blockchain data over to komodo. I predict many struggling coins and erc20 tokens will migrate to komodo assetchains this year, and first ones will have an advantage.

Monero forks of forks of forks, what a great idea! I know you guys are joking, but jokes have a habit of becoming billion dollar projects in the cryptosphere, just look at doge and NEM.

I think you can do better with the logo though, and I prefer wowneroj myself, maybe add some umlats like Motörhead on the first 'o'

Wöwneröj , Looks pretty good with two umlats
