61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO]⭐LIVE STARS ⭐ Revolutionizing Live Adult Entertainment on: January 12, 2018, 09:09:26 PM
Looks promising but im worried a bit about the "revolutionizing" part. Webcam platforms like this have been around for ages, and are about to become obsolete. There are already thousands of websites who use tokens to tip performers, the only difference is that they dont use crypto. I do see potential in the performers revenue (although yours is still incredible huge), but not in the platform itself. A simple webcam site isnt much of a revolution..

You mention "no third party involved", but if customers want to tip models they have to buy your coins right? To buy your coins they have to buy btc and you need a third party for that. If you have your own system and if you want people to buy coins with creditcard or whatever you can not go around a third party. Can you please explain this a bit more, maybe i dont understand it correctlyy.

Also when i look at the team i cant find any info of experiences in the adult industry besides cammodel littleroxie. Do you have any connections in this industry? For me this is important to know as the adult industry isnt like any other industry...

One other question. Arent you afraid you get into brand problems when using "VICE," as Vice is one of the biggest media companies in the world. And yes, its different kind of media, but its still the same industry.
63  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] VICE - The Revolutionary Adult Cryptocurrency on: January 12, 2018, 06:42:55 AM
I like this idea a lot, and my interest goes mostly to the "get paid to watch porn" part. I also find the advertising part interesting although sites like porn.com and many others already offer methods like this, but ok not combined with a token.

But i do see some problems: 99% of all regular advertisers do not want to advertise on porn sites. The advertisers who do want to advertise (like the ones now doing through banners, popups, popunders, inplayer ads, and so on) only want to advertise on soft porn related sites. I can already see at your partners lists that they also only offer soft porn as well (some nice names but still), so im assuming your platform will only contain softporn. And as you mention yourself there are already over 150.000 sites where you can watch these kind of porn movies for free...so why would they visit your platform? And sure, some cheap users will come for the money but i expect they wont earn thousands of dollars a day, so im not expecting that this money-thing will attract many customers.

I dont want to be negative, but when i look at myself, if i want to watch porn i want specific movies, explicit/rare stuff, no softporn and stuff you see everywhere... So my question is: what kind of porn can we expect? Will you try to become another xhamster sites filled with promomaterial or are you going to offer full movies?

And what exactly is the role of your partners? Have you gotten the rights from all their movies, or will they just become merchants of your system?

nope,    still no acknowledgement from blocksafe that i have been able to find and no response from bittrex.....  blocksafe just blew it off like its no big deal,   encouraging isnt it?

yeah indeed, i just sold my coins. they are killing themselves; if you dont care about your investors, people wont care about the project...its as simple as that. unfortunately due to all money involved with ico's all those devs are already millionaires so they dont give a damn
65  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][TRIG] TRIG Token - Blocksafe Foundation on: January 08, 2018, 08:25:24 PM
is there any news/updates from the dev? not panicking but all this mess could simply be solved by a reply from the creator...... everybody seems to instadump their coins..
66  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO][Rentberry] – Decentralized Home Rental Platform on: December 31, 2017, 01:57:49 PM

why would anyone even use such token/blockchain system?
Most people dont even know what bitcoin is! It will take years before regular people will trust things like this, and when it comes to houses, people are very careful.

Hello paycum2,

We are convinced that blockchain technology combined with smart contracts will be the core engine for the long-term rental industry. The blockchain provides a mechanism for securing and transferring funds, and supporting the complex multi-party agreements that drive those fund transfers through the use of smart contracts.
The data will remain saved in an immutable distributed data store means that users can rest assured that their data cannot be tampered with, payment flows will be optimized, identity will be managed securely, and ultimately the overall rental experience will be improved.

Please check out the Whitepaper where you will be able to find the detailed description on why tokenization and blockchain are required in long-term rental industry.

Thanks for answering all my questions. I will do some more research. Thanks for taking the time to answer, much appreciated

Who is part of the team? I can not find anything about your and your teams experiences besides a company name you mention that is building the trading platform for you?
68  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO][Rentberry] – Decentralized Home Rental Platform on: December 24, 2017, 12:27:55 AM
I dont really get it, maybe because im a european, so can someone please clearify the following:

is auctioning for rental prizes normal in the USA?
I ask this as i have read that they want to expand to europe. BUT, in europe almost all countries have rules and protection for both buyers and sellers. Rental prices can not be auctioned as prices are fixed based on appartment size, condition and stuff like that. In most european countries its highly illegal to do such auctions: you can not ask person A to pay - for example - 1000 a month, and ask person B to pay 300. Thats illegal. We have a point system here which checks the total size, amount of rooms and things like that. based of that outcome there will be a fixed prize range you can use. You can not ask 100k a month for an appartment that is worth 1k a month, even if the demand skyrockets.

So even if the rules in usa are different i see some problems with their "expanding to europe" goals. Sure not all countries here have the same rules, but a succesful usa system doesnt mean its going to be succesful here. Amazon, Uber, Ebay. VISA, Mastercard, they all failed here, nobody uses them here.

there is no transparancy in current offline market, and it cost a lot of headaches for both buyers and sellers?
Again, here in most european countries when a house owner tries to rent his appartment through a third party, that third party can not ask any fee to the person who is going to rent the appartment. That is highly illegal. The fee has to be arranged between the owner and the third party. So, no problems at all. The whole renting market is already transparant here, so i dont see the problem. I do however see problems with Rentberry. They can not ask for a fee to their users here, thats not legal (but ok they probably find a way around this by charging paid access to the website's services or things like that).

And when i read these things:
"Rentberry charges users a $25 fee, but in the future, it plans to charge 25 percent of the difference between the asking price and the agreed upon rent. Whoever received the better deal pays the fee -- every month." i just see a company who tries to make as much money over peoples backs. Dont get me wrong, making money with your business is good, but when you say things like "taking away the middleman," while basically you are adding Rentberry as a "new" middleman (who fills his pockets with even more money), then you dont solve a problem, you create a new problem.

why would anyone even use such token/blockchain system?
Most people dont even know what bitcoin is! It will take years before regular people will trust things like this, and when it comes to houses, people are very careful.

Startup creating new startup?
Also i see that Rentberry has been around since 2015, so basically its still a startup. No problem with that, but a startup wanting to transform into another startup sounds kind of strange/worrying. In my opinion this basically means the first idea failed, or, they start a new idea without completing the old one, which doesnt have to be bad, but it tells something about the people behind it.

The current userbase looks great, but can i find some stats on how realistic those numbers are? I mean, not to be negative, but i can see that the Rentberry ico marketing team is great, as (bought)news coverages are shown everywhere (yet another reason for red flags as basically all news coverage seems to be paid ones), so how can we be sure that all those nice stories and shown numbers are real? I can easily create a fake 120k customerbase with some easy advertising campaigns just to make it look good on the outside. Im not saying Rentberry's data is fake, but are those customers just people who signed up by email (and like almost all email signups, never look at it again) or are they really using your platform on a daily base? If yes you should be able to show us a lot of statistics.
69  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin transation fee can be reduce??? on: December 22, 2017, 07:41:59 PM
Obviously that it can be reduced, but it works by offer/demand, it is the same as the stock markets.
The price of the fees are created by the people who wants to send payments.
if they decide to pay $1000 worth of fees, and another guy put $1010, the price will be climbing up.


dont agree. in almost all stock markets the fees are a fixed percentage!

BTC should have the same, no matter what price it is. The whole idea of bitcoin was to create a better system that the ones we have now, but at current state basically all btc functions are worse then our current systems.

Few days back i wanted to send 200 euro from blockchain.info to another wallet...costs where 110 euro! Fucking crazy.... hell, im not even sure if that is legal (not sure who to sue hehe but ok) i refused to pay that high of a fee, changed the fee, but now my funds are somewhere in heaven waiting to get confirmed (probably take weeks)... i can not cancel it, can not add the extra fee to speed things up... basically cant do anything...

Also im a merchant and have removed btc on all my sites as current fees are just too high....know lots of merchants (who never where really enthousiastic about btc) who have removed btc as well...nobody pays with it and if they do its way too much hassle to get it converted back to euros without loosing to much money.

Basically thats the whole problem with btc... still really zero percent of people use it in real life...volumes are gigantic now but its all speculation.... Im not being negative, but btc is far from a success if you look it from that point of view. And with current fees no normal people will ever going to use it..

better wait, i think it can go back to 6k within a few days
no one can wait until bitcoin bullish again cause it make a huge lose if bitcoin holders still waiting for the rising.  I think much better to sell now cause as i see bitcoin graph it will never go up until this Weekend.  So i decided to sell even i don't want to.

I fully agree. My "better wait" was a comment on the topic poster who wanted to buyin again at 12k.

BTC went up way to fast, only natural that it goes back a bit, we have seen that with almost all coins who went from 1000(sat) to 20.000..they all went back to 2000-3000 or lower again..and after a while got pumped up again and again
