There is Openbazaar which now accepts altcoins.
There is SYS market.
We have Bitbay market.
Why do you think Particl will be something new and successful? I do not see much potential in this project.
Particl can offer trustless 2 person escrow (MAD), privacy via CT, passive income with native token and staking, self-governance via decentralized voting, Native Segwit vs activated Segwit (or no Segwit). Keep in mind the market is 1 component of the Particl platform. Generating a comparison without the market in tester's hands is all speculation until features are actually in front of users. Hope that helps  |

Why I see this in my dashboard?  I invested in BTC If you invested only in BTC, that might be the reason. During the token exchange, BTC were used on top of exchanged SDC, so if you haven't sent in any SDC, that might be it. In that case you should contact the team (on Slack or Riot) and figure out your next steps together. @entertainment did you get a support ticket from particl.io and has support been working through your balance updates? I'm assuming you were in the group of BTC over-funders who sent more BTC than the dashboard was telling you? If not please reach out to hello@particl.io and we'll help get this figured out. Just a note: all folks who support has been working with on fixing your PART balances because of either donating directly to our transparency addresses or overfunding your account with BTC leading to a shortage of SDC needed for PART 1:1 conversion, we'll be doing your PART distribution manually because we've been handling each case manually. The rest of the contributors are handled automatically by the exchange platform. |

Particl Dev Update: June 1st, 2017 https://particl.news/particl-dev-update-june-1st-2017-f736948a338dConfidential Transactions on Particl Testnet
In our last development update we communicated the tremendous amount of lines of code (LOC) the Particl developers had already added to Bitcoin Core 0.14. Many of these were privacy enhancements to an already robust codebase that will lay the foundation for our upcoming decentralized, person to person marketplace. Nestled in those lines of code is the inclusion of Confidential Transactions (CT).
Confidential Transactions keeps the amounts transferred visible only to participants in the transaction (and those they designate), while still guaranteeing that no more coins can be spent than are available in a cryptographic way.
Examples (screenshots) included in post. Plus:Wallet Back-end Progress 🔨

Any roadmap for Particl now ?
Are you checked this one ?  We need to update that  A handful of In Progress is now Done and a handful of ToDo is now In Progress and we have some new ToDo to add. |

do you need hindi translation?
Sure! We're starting to collect translators now. Are you on our slack yet? |

We've begun reaching out to exchanges for listing the PART token The first round of contact is with services that previously listed SDC tokens. - poloniex
- bittrex
- shapeshift
- yobit
- litebit.eu
- cryptopia
- bitsquare
- tradesatoshi
- exchanged.I2p
What you can do as a community: Let these guys know you're excited about this project and are active community members in THEIR project (ie: already trading on their platforms) already. Particl has 1660 contributors and (at bare minimum) a project valuation at $11.5M ($1.50 * total supply). This valuation considers 1:1 SDC to PART that took place during the 4 week token exchange. For those SDC holders who missed out and are applying to convert before the end of the year (https://particl.news/tagged/community) the ratio is 2:1 SDC to PART or a $3/PART price peg/ $23M valuation at minimumThe biggest value we can bring to their platform is users so let's leverage that!

when will we see the extra part in our accounts ? im seeing the same amount I bought plus the premium.
We're just waiting on the finalized ToS before we push the new changes to the website. |
|
|

is there any bounty campaign for this partcl dev ? maybe social media bounty,translations, etc sory for ask about this thank you We don't have any bounty campaigns or signature campaigns, retweet campaigns, etc set up. We didn't premine tokens for these types of expenses. However, there can and will be community initiatives set up that can fund different campaigns. These will start to pop up as the mainnet launches and users are on the platform. Translations are always welcome. We'll be setting up our text strings on Transifex once the client is ready. There aren't bounties for translations either but community involvement with regional translations is always super helpful! |

Project Update: May 8th, 2017 https://particl.news/project-update-may-8th-2017-d43b3e4baabeTL;DR1,660 PART token holders will receive a 20.5% bonus on their PART balance. Final statistics from the Particl Token Exchange
Two weeks ago we closed on a successful initial seed funding round for Particl. In our congratulatory post we promised final numbers for tokens exchanged, tokens unclaimed and contributors who participated. We would like to share the final numbers from the Particl Token Exchange.
* 1,660 contributors participated in the exchange.
* 5,150,748 SDC was directly exchanged for PART.
* In addition, 10,703 PART is being reserved for contributors who donated during the exchange either more BTC than what the dashboard displayed and/or sent SDC directly to the transparency address instead of generating personal deposit addresses.
* 1,480,689 PART were left unclaimed.
Unclaimed PART tokens to be split as follows:
* 1,184,551 PART (80%) will be split among the 1,660 contributors according to their balance.
* 296,138 PART (20%) will be donated to the foundation.
Summary
* 1,660 PART token holders will receive a 20.5% bonus on their PART balance.
Next steps:
We will be posting an important blog for all PART token holders within the next 48 hours. This is specific to preparing for mainnet release*. We’ll be providing instructions on how to update your dashboard in anticipation of PART distribution.
Please be sure to subscribe to this blog to stay up-to-date with the latest news.
*Note: we haven’t released an official date for mainnet. Unofficially it is 4 weeks out. |

Particl Dev Update: May 4th, 2017 https://particl.news/particl-dev-update-may-4th-2017-f8241bedc602Improving security and accessibility within our technology stackCurrently the team is developing both the new GUI and daemon. Particl is moving away from the classic Bitcoin “Qt” wallet, instead opting to build upon Electron, a full-blown WebEngine. This approach allows us to create a beautiful interface and a standardized API to build extensions upon. The work has already started on bringing the new interface truly alive, from the drawing table to real code (HTML, CSS & JS). The team is using Angular as the main framework. Wallet Front-end Progress:We are very excited to share the latest designs for the Particl platform! Note that these are still at a early stage and will definitely change. They should however give you a sense of where we’re heading. https://imgur.com/a/zwjJ4The interface is entirely written in HTML, CSS and Angular. The reason is rather simple: the Qt wallet we “inherited” from Bitcoin Core does not provide the aesthetics and user experience we wish to achieve. So we’re tearing it down completely and building it from the ground up. We’re replacing it with Electron, an open source project that finds its roots in Chromium. The reasoning will be explained later, but in a nutshell: security is paramount. Electron provides substantial security improvements over QtWebKit by leveraging the Chromium sandbox for rendered processes. If someone is able to leverage a critical exploit within the Chromium rendering engine, then damage is severely limited by the built in sandbox, a feature which the deprecated WebKit terribly lacks. Front-end: In Progress 🔨* Overview (Dashboard) * Address page * Sidebar Wallet Back-end Progress:The daemon includes a number of major changes. Back-end: Complete 🏁* Based on Bitcoin Core 0.14 * Proof of Stake v3 * Secure Messaging “SMSG” * Stealth Addresses * HD Wallet * Decentralized Voting Back-end: in Progress 🔨* Confidential Transactions and RingCT A staggering number that might help to illustrate the amount of work that is going into creating Particl; currently 50,000+ lines of code have been added to the initial Bitcoin Core code base to allow for the above features. Particl is hiring!Please join us in welcoming Jason Wallace to the Particl team! Jason is a Full Stack Developer with a Bachelor of Science Honours (BScHons), Computer Science from Stellenbosch University, one of the premier research universities in South Africa. Jason joined us last week and is helping kewde and crz with the GUI front-end development. A bit about Jason:I love building stuff. I like to fully invest myself into projects that I believe in. I have an entrepreneurial spirit with a ‘Big Picture’ kind of mindset. I find myself compelled to act based on opportunity.
Currently my ideal development stack is Ubuntu, Nginx, Postgresql, Python, Django, Angular, and Ionic if on mobile. If I’m not learning, I’m not moving forward.Interested in helping build Particl?It is exciting when passion in the community manifests itself in unexpected ways. Whether it’s helping break the testnet, bending tools like Angular and Electron to your will or being really, really good at graphics and writing, our SLACK and RIOT community channels are great places to get involved. |

Will there be any other funding rounds after this one?
Yes. When we create the genesis block for Particl the designated amount of tokens (per this seed round exchange) will be generated. Additionally, a second batch of tokens will be hard-coded for release at a publicly pre-determined block height approximately 9-10 months out from the genesis block. This funding round will not take place until after the public beta launch of the Particl Market and the establishment of the Particl Foundation. This allotment of tokens will represent a 15% increase in supply and will be made available through the Primary Funding Round at a designated date in the future.
What day will second round of funding begin? Will SDC be used for second round funding? No official day is set as of yet. Coins will be locked until certain block height, code will be able to be verified. SDC will not be used for second round of funding. |

Your TLDR is correct. This can be found on here: https://particl.io/#faq-a10So almost all sold on market or others bought and make swap. 80% coins was swapped. Yes, we covered this in a blog post here: https://particl.news/particl-successfully-closes-out-its-seed-funding-round-highlighted-by-1658-participants-5-1-38dee90d1a91AFTER that price drop from 200 000s to 15-30k s as useless coin. SDC price held a $1.50 median range for months before the exchange (sans week leading up to it) and maintained it ($1.50 to $1.70) throughout the entire funding period. The price dropped minimally to $1.40 or so between April 15th - April 19th which is astonishing to me personally because the coin was not being developed anymore but none the less, held price more or less. April 19th Poloniex added SDC to it's ninja delist (fortnight timeframe) which is totally appropriate and this created a natural break point in price. Remember, 1 address holds over 78% of the coins. For those who don't understand the magnitude of that, it means the team (if we truly were scammers) could double-spend at will from the moment we hit 51% and be raping exchanges for BTC non-stop as long as they kept the coins active. Please consider this as a testament to the integrity of this team when accusations of stealing money or other false claims are thrown around. We've kept the conversion address public, highly visible on the site during the funding period and it's still there today so the public could audit the transactions and keep us accountable. SUaqjDUwAuVKnmWUX5tgU3fK1PkmbdfVCDAnd magically few days after end swap they told that people can swap to end of year 2017 but with ratio 2:1 because price sdc drop.
So we swap all SDC and after this article price was 35k s so everybody who buy it for this price can buy PARTICL about 6 times LESS than people in ICO stage and swap window 30 days. We encourage everyone to re-read this article for the facts of this new community cause to include SDC holders left behind: https://particl.news/a-community-driven-initiative-e26724100c3aTL;DR The chance to claim donated PART is split into 2 groups. The only group available to claim community donated PART is detailed here: * Anyone who contacted the Particl Team via email/reddit/slack/riot before 00:00 UTC on 19th April, 2017 are eligible for 2:1 (SDC:PART) conversion.
* Anyone who has on-chain funds in SDC which have not moved since 00:00 UTC on 19th of April, 2017 are also eligible for 2:1 (SDC:PART) conversion. Remember the price of SDC maintained roughly $1.50 throughout exchange and up to the delisting announcement. So every PART token holder at least bought in at $1.50 if they did the 1:1 SDC to PART. Participants who took the bonus the first 5 days got PART at $1 but that was only for the 15% bonus PART. Towards the end of the exchange folks still took the bonus and were paying $2.40 or more for bonus PART. So the 2:1 ratio is equal to $3 PART. This makes sense because these are PART donated back by the community for SDC holders left behind. Obviously they don't want to hurt their portfolio values by offering late comers PART for less than they paid, instantly reducing their wealth. Per your scenario of buying at 35k and getting this donated PART 6 times less, that is not valid, as you can see with the blog post and the initiative's terms. That person would fall into Group 2 and the state of that group's options to claim PART is 100% up to the community as they will decide by vote when the network is live. That is all explained in the article. I imagine the donators, again, won't want to cut their portfolio values so anything less than $3 PART won't be approved by vote (just speculating). So if someone bought after April 19th for $.30 and was approved to claim donated PART they would be offered a 10:1 exchange ratio or $3 PART. If I decide with lost anyway sell SDC and not swap I can sell for 200k s and buy it after price drop for 35k and swap even with ratio 2:1 and make 6 x profit more than idiots who swap when price was high. I think I explain this scenario above. So is the reason why SDC show yesterday green 150% profit and today almost 100% BECAUSE its not dead as was wrote before by Devs !!
If someone want tell stupid words: if have problem by more cheap SDC I dont want more PARTICL because I swap at 1:1 ratio many SDC worth 200k s /each so I put in this many BTC and dont want put more in shady project after ninja relase about it. And I cant sell my SDC because I hear about swap to late and price drop about dont remember 40-60% so if I want sell I make lost in btc to many so I decide swap.
Buyt it was wrong decision because I can sell and take btc and today rebuy SDC and make swap 7 times cheaper than cost me and all others who make swap 1:1 ratio when price was high.
So I make swap and take few thousend PARTICL but if I sell for btc and buy now I should have 60 k Particl token.
So they scam as again.
They should make ratio not 2:1 but with actually price SDC now so 36k s. So like 6:1 maybe.
Not fud just FACTS.
I have no reason for the increase in price, it could be a takeover attempt, it could be speculators hoping for 3000% profits down the road from unsuspecting n00bs, it could be a number of things. Your quote above ( "They should make ratio not 2:1 but with actually price SDC now so 36k s. So like 6:1 maybe.")is exactly what the article says is up for community vote. We agree and the investors agree, hence the terms set out in the proposition. I'm very proud of this community cause. I hope others see the good in it once they take the time to read about it on their own. |

Question about burning exchanged SDC asked several times, with no response within a whole month.
I'd like an official statement as well: Sure thing. The SDC Dev team apparently developed tools like Umbra, secure messaging, etc. for ShadowCash, then took those ShadowCash tools and used them to regain SDC and some additional BTC that they could sell. This all may be perfectly legit if they just burned the SDC they receive as part of the swap rather than trying to sell it to others. Perhaps that's their plan? We have posted our transparency address on particl.io since day 1 of the exchange. This is for public auditing for exactly these claims. Please post withdrawals that support this so we can discuss more. Here's the holding address in question. SUaqjDUwAuVKnmWUX5tgU3fK1PkmbdfVCDI think it would be good if they staked it, better if they burned it. But, I don't see that addressed in the FAQ. We addressed staking the coins through the exchange here: https://redd.it/61o09m We are 100% on board with burning SDC collected after all the participants are sorted. We think this is the ideal solution and would be fully on board with a community proposal for the SDC in address: SUaqjDUwAuVKnmWUX5tgU3fK1PkmbdfVCD will the swapped SDC be burned? because if so then the unswapped SDC can be taken over by another team if they wish can it not? It's becoming clear that people don't understand the concept of a centralized coin. Over 78% of the network is in 1 wallet. We control the longest chain. We are protecting the network from attacks. Remaining coins can be collected by whomever wants them but they'll always be at the mercy of the consensus address until we burn those coins. This is why a community discussion is important regarding future of SDC held in the conversion address. What happens to unswapped coin? We have 2 new blog posts regarding unswapped coins on https://particl.news. Prior to those the future of unswapped coins was at the hands of the people who controlled them. This was made clear multiple times during the exchange and I just answered a bunch of repeat questions regarding this on reddit: * https://www.reddit.com/r/Particl/comments/60dpzw/ama_with_the_particl_team_rparticl_march_20th/df6vswz/ * https://www.reddit.com/r/Particl/comments/60dpzw/ama_with_the_particl_team_rparticl_march_20th/df6z252/ * https://www.reddit.com/r/Particl/comments/60dpzw/ama_with_the_particl_team_rparticl_march_20th/df6sei9/ among other spots. Still relevant, and a good practice for Announcement posts: please explain detail youre coin dev
spefication coin, total suply coin, tipe coin, roadmap, plan project
plan ico selling I agree. I'll just be honest, we'll update the OP as we can but I encourage anyone interested in the project to seek out the more active communities. Quick links are on post 1, https://particl.io and https://www.reddit.com/r/Particl/wiki/communityFinally, not so urgent but I'd like a statement on decentralization aspect too: I question the decentralization aspect (and perhaps the legitimacy) of the Particl project. I have checked the Particl website, there is no software to download (which is understandable as they stated that it's not completed), yet they have already started the token swap. You can only swap by registering on the Particl website, so those tokens are stored and processed by the Particl servers, how is that decentralization? After login, I find no option to backup private key, so you don't control the funds in the account. Correct, this is centralized on a database we use to properly link accounts to PART. We've mentioned on past blog posts and in slack/riot that we'll be creating a "Token Holders and next steps: Part 2" post that will explain the next steps for our holders. Some of this relates to using an offline tool for converting BIP39 mnemonic phrases to addresses and private keys. All of this is available to see on our github btw. https://github.com/particl |

Thanks for posting ctor! TL;DRThe goal of this cause is to create a reserve pool of PART that will provide an extended period of time for holders of SDC to exchange for PART. |

This whole forum is just full of fud and p&d bullshit. I would have been happy if the team didn't even start a thread in the ann section here.
Of course they need a new ann thread, how else will they continue the scam? What makes you think it's scam? There are quite a few people in the team and they've been working on SDC for several years without initial ICO or something like that. Coins been distributed in a fair way through POW. It would be the most unprofitable scam in history. We went back and forth about doing an announcement thread. All the community involvement happens off this forum but we wanted to at least have something here. And the thread is moderated but obviously we haven't enforced anything and allow as many new accounts and points of views as there are personalities in this space. I just love the fact that we sponsored an extremely detailed video series for the entire privacy coin ecosystem, we didn't maximalize our project over others, we gave 100% ownership to the hosts. The series was wildly successful providing education across the board and if anything other projects even had more responses than ours. The goal was education of privacy coins and the ecosystem we all work in and it was a huge success. Anyone following the series and investing in privacy the past month made a bunch of money, Yet somehow in all that we are still the scammers and just doing a money grab. It's amazing, you can't make this shit up! You're welcome. "No good deed goes unpunished" Even that cryptoleakz twitter account was created just to sabotage the project announcement. It's been mute because it only had one purpose. So we have a thread here, crazy shit is going to be said but we need to be here. Again, all the community involvement and exciting stuff doesn't go down here it's in our other communities: https://www.reddit.com/r/Particl/wiki/communityI'd love to see the rigor these new accounts use to talk about Particl use it for good for their own coins and for a platform they can use those coins on. If you read who the project is for it's for the entire crypto space. We're building a platform every coin owner can use their coin on to buy stuff in private and without a trace. We don't care if you use PIVX on it or XMR on it. It's being built for everyone not just PART. SDC was built only for SDC. Particl is inclusive and a place to use your coins, not exclusive. That to me sounds pretty awesome because we all know we like, follow, contribute to a number of projects in this space. |

Just registered at https://particl.io/ but never received a confirmation email, also tried to re-send the confirmation email but also that was not working. How can I solve this and can I safely do the swap if i can't confirm mine email? Edit: Received the confirmation email only it did take some more time. Good you got it. Our apologies, our email server has been giving us fits the entire exchange so far. Customer support has been keeping everyone in the loop though. |

What happen when $ 3th bar will fill but SDC convertet not be finished?
As clock show everybody will have 18 days yet to swap SDC to PART ? or when USD bar will be finish its over change SDC to PART ?
I need sure that I can wait some time yet.
What happen when $ 3th bar will fill but SDC convertet not be finished? Milestone 3 is independent of the SDC converted. SDC conversion can continue after Milestone 3 is hit. As clock show everybody will have 18 days yet to swap SDC to PART ? or when USD bar will be finish its over change SDC to PART ? The token exchange will end when the 18 days (or whatever it's at now) is complete. Everyone has until then to decide to exchange SDC for PART. Milestones are independent of the SDC converted. |

particl ico site does not send emails out
no reset
no confirmation
checked several times over several days
Are you still having trouble? please email hello@particl.io and we'll address this specifically. We had a timeout issue with earlier confirmation emails expiring after 5 minutes or so. All previous support emails we addressed sent back positive messages that the new ones worked. Again if you haven't requested recently, request a confirmation email and click that to confirm your address. The timeout shouldn't be occuring but if it does, please use the email above and we'll link the account. Thanks for letting us know issues were still out there. |
