This people-moving drone has completed more than 1,000 test flightsMost drones are small, and carry nothing except cameras. But Ehang Corp, a major Chinese drone maker, has been busy testing its Ehang 184 flying taxis, a drone designed to transport people. It's now completed more 1,000 test flights with and without passengers, as CNN reports. Ehang burst onto the international scene at CES in Las Vegas in 2016, promising a dream of personal robotic transportation by drone. Now it looks like it's made good on its promise, with more tests to follow in Dubai and Las Vegas. Importantly, the 1,000-plus flights have involved a broad range of conditions, including traveling in inclement conditions. With eight electrically-powered rotors, the Ehang 184 can fly for 10 miles at speeds of up to 80 mph or more—a handy way to hypothetically beat the traffic to airports in places like New York, Las Vegas, and Shanghai. One hang-up: it's meant for just one passenger, though it's been stress-tested with a payload of 500 pounds. Another hang-up: it can only carry people and cargo for 23 minutes. The key to the Ehang 184's operations is its automated flight system; its flight computer pulls data from onboard sensors and uses satellite navigation to chart the safest path. If damaged, it's designed to make a controlled descent to safe ground. The Ehang 184 is one of several serious passenger drone companies looking to take to the skies—Airbus is another contender. While automated passenger drones would make urban commuting easier (at least initially for anyone who can afford to ride—travel like this tends to be pricey), the flight performance and AI behind them could revolutionize retail logistics. Chinese retailer JD, for instance, is experimenting with payload delivery drones that can lift up to one ton. And drones like this also have military potential for uses in situations like carrying supplies, evacuating personnel, and transporting special forces. Ehang's CEO, Hu Huazhi, says these passenger drones will first focus on carrying wealthy customers to establish a customer base (making it much like Elon Musk's strategy for Tesla). Then, ideally, economies of scale would democratize passenger drones, so everyone else can take to the sky. That, at least, is the futuristic vision. Peter Warren Singer is a strategist and senior fellow at the New America Foundation. He has been named by Defense News as one of the 100 most influential people in defense issues. He was also dubbed an official "Mad Scientist" for the U.S. Army's Training and Doctrine Command. Jeffrey Lin is a national security professional in the greater D.C. area. Reference: https://www.popsci.com/ehang-passenger-carrying-drone Do they need to have landing platform? like helicopters, they must have helipad. they need to get permits to fly. well, i think depends on the drones that will used because drones are different in sizes and uses, if drones are for traffic surveillance i think it can landing in a place where the drones are free to land. |

Good day guys, just wanted to ask a question since I often see the question about these same drones getting more passengers which is not just for emergency but for personal usage or amusement is it possible to expect that this will be happening in the future and produced by this company?
Anything is possible, If you going to read their white paper it's all written there. Well basically, Drones can help to resolve our problem in the future much faster than usual. Well for Amusement? I guess they will produce more product to use it on theme park. Correct, almost the basic needs of drones are listed and adapt to use of Deep Aero to launch after the ICO sale, but i am really amaze on the many suggestion of those who support on this project, i am hoping that some of them will also adapt by the Deep Aero especially those who is more helpful to every country. |

In my country, there is an application that provides the crypto enthussiasts a way to convert bitcoin and ethereum in fiat currency. In addition, we can also withdraw or deposit our funds in that application. Withdrawals can conduct in remittance area and there is an convenient store where we can deposit our funds.
How does CryptoRiya differ to other firms and application that provides the same offer?
CryptoRiya can access by the people internationally. We can withdraw fiat currency even we are far apart from our beloved country. Aside from that, 1600 currencies can handle by CryptoRiya. We can exchange, deposit and withdraw eventhough we don't pass a KYC verification. Correct, and besides even we don't have an internet access in a place where we go, we can also withdraw our token, without feeling hagard on going inside the bank and fill up some forms to get our money, so nice to have this kind of atm access that we can use anytime. |

Well, i can say that bitcoin in the future will be the same as what is now, bitcoin is sure nothing change in terms of their price being volatile. In terms of users of bitcoin, i am pretty sure that it will be increase in population and also those store who transact in bitcoin as payment.

I can't imagine that someone with a bitcoin can be a homeless, i don't know what your point is, but i think no one will do this unbelievable things, and maybe even they are homeless, where did they get a bitcoin if so or why don't they buy home especially we all know that this is our basic needs though.

The image below shows the fee and capability of the card. Can the team lower those fee for the better of the users? And also the withdrawal fee, instead of having percent why put a fix amount?  Well, I think it’s better to use the luxury card if you have more crypto currency on your wallet, that’s a big difference and have many advantages than regular one, but the fee like what you said I think it’s better to lower the price so that many crypto currency holder will afford it. |
|
|
|
I don't think so.
Now that the bull market has arrived, there is no need to do anything, all that needs to be done is to hold.
I agree on you because as we can see that the bitcoin price frome the start is very much changes and now that it still in a lowest price, but i am going to hold it until i saw the price will become back to highest value. |

Arent they too hasty on building up their exchange platform ? Because as I see that the ico sale will only last for 10 days. But if they have a reasonable, honest and well presented project I think it will succeed.
They already have the exchange platform running: https://www.xbrick.io/They are still to add DLPE and GCOB to it. It's easy for this project to become successful since they were able to follow their roadmap and were not dependent on the tokensale for the actual exchange app, unlike other projects where they only launch mvps or none at all. Correct, i think they given a chance to the traders to buy their token to use as transaction fee so that the users may have a discount like what is listed in their white paper at almost 50%, that is a big help to the traders so i think its better to buy it now so that the users will get those benefit. Its good to buy a lot of XBC token for now to guarantee your 50% less on transaction fee for using their exchange. The use of XBC for transaction fee will be default for using their exchange but if you use other cryptocurrency for paying the transaction fee you will pay more transaction fee than the discounted 50% for using XBC on your trades. You’re right, and besides it will benefits the users more and I if the XBC you buy is morethan what you need you can trade it to their exchange I am sure that buyers will buy it easily because they also need it too. |

I think bitcoin in the future is still bitcoin as a digital currency and continue to be a volatile as what it is now, although there are many digital currency that invented every day, months or year, but bitcoin is still the number one useful of them all.

a new exchange to offer a fast trading,
everything will be perfect but the people in the community want to have an exchange with volumes.
this is the big wall to face. i hope they can get into it.
Volume? Not sure but it already said 2 million per second like that system can handle volumes of trade I think. They offer secure and reliable high performance system. They will be launching DLPE as well. Well, some people don’t believe on that so high volume that can handle in just a second, but igues they can that is why they say that it is a world class exchange, and besides why don’t they try it first before they talk about against the project. |

I know some exchanges practices there are some tokens that are very well known in the community, especially on telegram and twitter. They offer votes for the community and put a # on it to help the company to get listed on an exchange, were in Xbrick From time to time, they will select crypto currencies that considers to be high quality to be listed for trading. XBrick may charge a listing fee.
ok got it! but did you know that Xbrick offer trading fees for each executed transaction? This trading currently ranges from 0.10% to 0.15% of the executed amount. Different fees are applied according to whether the order is maker or taker as well as the trader’s VIP level. That's quite high for me some exchanges trading fee ranging 0.01-0.05%. Well this is new exchange i guess they will decrease that fee in the future. And by the way are you guys in favor if Xbrick could have an ICO again? i mean to promote the exchanges just like yobit have right now. Traders would be able to get a lower trading fees on the XBrick platform by using XBrick Coin (XBC). Xbrick will provide holders of the token a 50% discount on the trading fees associated with use of the platform when XBC is utilized to pay those trading fees. This is also a way to ensure that as XBrick platform own coin XBC will grow over time. Well, it means that to make more discount of using XBrick exchange, first you must need to have their native token which is XBC am I right? Well it sounds like you will need to use their token to make the transaction cheaper than using other token. yes you are right, Xbrick will have their own token called XBC, and by using XBC as payment traders will only pay 50% of trading fees. This is a good way to encourage the traders to use XBC token and also a way to boost the Xbrick platform. So, the investors and traders that will use XBrick will need to buy now an XBC or the native token of the XBrick so that they will benefited of the 50% discount when they transact in the trading, what a nice idea of XBrick to buy also their token. |

Well, in my opinion bitcoin is become accepted in many governments and nothing to worry about or to fear for someone. I guess this is only felt for those who are not a true believer of bitcoin.

Billions of dollars across the country can be lose if the internal security of an exchange is not secured. Xbrick will build an exchange that will protect its traders/investors' funds from hackers. Many exchange are being hacked because of lack of security. Cryptocurrency world are now getting bigger. So a secure and private crypto exchange is one of the thing we really need.
You're absolutely right about that.XBrick features Secure high -performance system that means cryptocurrency exchange will be secure and reliable thus protecting users from possible hackers. It also offers a more than two million per second high-performance order matching system that provides for high reliability, high performance, strong security, extendibility, and easy maintenance. This is really something that users really need. That’s right because they need to protect every traders that should be part of the XBrick exchange to prove that they are world class in terms of using the said exchange because if not maybe it is the hindrance of their successful project then. |

I think depends upon the skills and abilities of a people who want to start it over because bitcoin mining is not easy as you think you must first need to prepare all things needed and must need also to have your full acceptance on that.

Well, there are many bitcoin user countries nowadays and because of that, bitcoin is more accepted by some government too, and I think there are times that some countries who ignore and banned bitcoin will change their mind by using it then.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, not all government are against bitcoin, even the other government will won over bitcoin they will hard for them to make it disappear though it’s too late because there are many user and stores accept bitcoin they will hard for them to make it happen.

Unmanned aircraft system is already existing in other country like in japan they already using drone for crop dusting, precision agriculture, film making, rural medical services for twenty years... So what deep aero waiting for before they start to operate, because as i read in many comments here i found that many rules and regulations are needed before they can start the operation... Why on the other country it seems so easy ?
Yes it is many relagulation need to conclude before deep aero can start its project's, and until all the governing body from each country approve all the necessary permits and regulations then that's the time they can start the operation... But i guess it will not be easy to meet all the requirements they needed, and im sure it will take long and they'll go step by step process... Lets hope for the best that soon drone and deep aero project will flown into our sky... the time needed to meet all requirement might be long but if the deep aero has already given the permission to operate their drone across the country i am sure that they will reach their success an by that time drones can help us to give security and other things. I know the deep aero drones can help us a lot in many cases, but what they are need to do to be granted by the government to operate? And when they'll will start to communicate to the countries they are planning to operate this project? And for me the sooner the better... Yes, they must need to first accept by the government they try to operate first, i think after the launch of this project, because we can see in their roadmap all date when and what to do the operation. |

Well this is because bitcoin is created first as digital currency, bitcoin is number one useful of them all, and it is also because people are aware of the bitcoin as being volatile in price.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, i am not depend my future on bitcoin, ofcourse we all know that bitcoin is very volatile and we do not know until when is the right time for it that gave us a good profit, we need to be wise in investing on it to have a good future.

And by the way are you guys in favor if Xbrick could have an ICO again? i mean to promote the exchanges just like yobit have right now. Well, i am in favor because this will help again to make increase the users or the population of this crypto currency exchange and it may also be more useful, although we do not know if the fee will increase but if that was hapen maybe the user will search again and find another one. |
