This is for developers who are interested interested in developing smart contracts on the Free TON smart chain.

Posted an update on my Facebook timeline when the news of the regulation popped up tried by all means to educate the ignorant ones who do not know how Bitcoin work differently from the fiat currency beside it was not a ban but a regulation of how the Banks should issue the native currency into exchanges to help facilitate the buying and selling of bitcoin and other digital assets.

CBN is the main culprit in the false news, it headlined the news wrongly and caused chaos all over the country.  Beside people have been able to trade their coins via P2P and OTC. It is a win-win situation for crypto traders.

Don't have XRP myself to experiment this, why don't you try chatting the Support teams to help fix the issue? When has this been going on? I don't think it has to do with your account chat them up and see what could be done to fix it.

This is one of the warmings that has been churning out to Newbies by the veterans here, you could have possibly held your BTC and be selling gradually when you notice a simultaneous growth but you thought an immortal words could accurately triple gain you. This is sad though, the funds can't be refunded again next time please stay away from such things to avoid losing larger sums.

Such contests do definitely, some airdropers would like to lend their previously gotten knowledge on new projects like TON and invite in more of their kinds and the growth is seamlessly achieved. If you have got such knowledge and would like to conduct such ,contests are always welcome in the Free TON community. But you'll definitely sign the declaration of Decentralisation and participate in the forum discussions.

The have over 6000 entire already, wow that's a great API and nice way to let people know about Free TON and it's ecosystem. People who are looking for contests can check and participate.

I already gave him an answer; whenever contests come up we'd post them here and update everyone. Then your suggestions are still great he can check on the telegram group and on the contest board on the forum as well to know beforehand.

This is a very important announcement, I  and other active Nigerians would be grateful if the request is granted and it will be super active considering the widespread of Blockchain amongst the teeming Nigerian youths.

Updated, This was already conducted yesterday will still verify and  update with the recap of the meeting. Please, stay tuned.

Stable coins are not volatile, perhaps just representing the traditional currencies. I don't always use them except in cases where there are no direct pair to my desirable coins to trade, I would exchange my coins to a stable coin and trade. But they are used to curtail lost when there is negative lose in cryptocurrencies. It depends on what exactly you need to do with your coins, it is a different stroke for different folk.

Most of the contests are always updated on the channel but you can always have a stroll through the Mani Contest
Ongoing contests can be found there.
There is only one active contest currently Free TON Rust Cup

It is a breach of contract, that is why everyone has to be very transparent when running any project. If they had met their part of the demand, we would have supported their voting. They are very likely to swindle funds of people using their exchanger which would result in lost and that will not be very appropriate.

Nominex is a bad reputed exchange, I wouldn't vote TON Crystal to be listed on such an unfaithful exchange. Here is an accusation against the exchange by @Holydarkeness NOMINEX - cheating hunters by delaying payment for THREE years. We should rather advocate for reputable exchanges that can help list Crystal TON to maintain the credibility for a long term.

It is really an interesting Master class where a lot of ideas were shared by the host, I personally learnt a lot of things through this master class. DeBots would be popular through these kinds of partnership where a lot of people that would be present to understand what they represent and such an opportunity was presented by the Free TON community, it is really a nice push if you ask me. Let them start building things around the TON Blockchain.

It is so unfortunate that the hack happened on Livecoin during when Crystal TON was beginning to recuperate from the shambles of dumps by the weak hands, even Coingecko and CMC don't recognise Livecoin exchange for trading of TON. It is good time to buy the dumps and sell when the signal seems okay.


Looking through the trajectory, you'd discover a maximum number of times TON increases her market value with trading volume, news and partnership.

It would render the whole idea of the forum useless, who will always be updating the price. The Forum is better off without the USD value of bitcoin showing on it. It is just my candid opinion yours might differ why you'd want it implemented.

I'm yet to understand something regards the price persistent discussions. Does it really matter where the price is currently heading? The price is undergoing some correctional stages which would alter a falling price to a positive speeding one, daily trading volume is still very appreciative comparing Crystal TON to other coins of its kind with large circulating and  max supply. Let's give it room to evolve and grow with time the price would peg at a speedy one. For me it is buying and HODling time.
