In the Russian-language section of the forum, I discussed this topic a few months ago, and even then it was clear that the project no longer exists. For those who do not believe, please pay attention to this article: S Korean Crypto-Pay Company Dragged into Mega Burning Sun Scandal.  Goodbye NUPay.
Riveting stuff. Looks like celebrity endorsement gone south. Probably with all the refund request from VC, accumulated overhead, listing fees, and lawsuit, they didn't have a penny left to rub together. Think this is why startups need to build utility first even if it's rudimentary, before funding for adding all those nifty bells and whistle features. Put out something that can be used, not just hype

Been following this project intermittently - almost got in until I saw the 84% premine. Obvious red flag, but while hopes and sweet talk may slightly improve the odds of pulling a quick flip on this, the biggest red flag came from the pinned message: https://t.me/bitcoinxc/87670

"[PUMP] A powerful pump will happen unexpectedly[without notice]"

Powerful pump. Without notice. And guess who owns 84% of the supply...

There's been so many freelancer/gig economy platform already - Canya, hirematch, ethlancer, blocklancer, hiway, canlead, gigtrick. Most are barely functional, majority have turned out to be vaporware. So, what makes yours any different?


------------------------------------------------------
checked the team list. 6 members where 2 are community managers, 2 are marketing, 1 is the CEO and the other is John Q. Nice movie

Hello, Bowtiesarecool! You are right, there are plenty of platforms that didn't succeed in mass adoption. They failed because they didn't focus on functionality of their platforms, and creators barely understood the problems with existing freelance economy. 

PIXBY team took an in-depth review of the freelance industry and found the fundamental problems which are exit scams, high transaction fees, and not to mention the UI because most of crypto-asset based freelance marketplaces are terrible and not user friendly at all.

At PIXBY we have found solutions for all of the mentioned problems. For instance, escrow payments will allow buyers to safely transact assets to seller without having to worry about not receiving the job, and another bonus of utilizing Blockchain technologies are Ethereum Dapps that will allow us to make royalty programs and reward based on users activities.

As time goes, we will present the best crypto-asset based freelance marketplace the world has to offer.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks for the response, but still doesn't address any of my concern. Proof is in the pudding they say and talk is cheap. At the very least, do show us a concept of your UI and what makes it different from others - assuming you don't have an MVP. Speaking of MVP, your basically treading the same path most of the others did without one. The only difference is they had the benefit of engaging a community that was not yet jaded by overpromising and underdelivering. Now that most freelancers are now wary of "yet another freelancer platform", it's going to take more than words to woo anybody over


Would love to bring this back up now that the "enthusiasm" has eroded and cold, hard reality has set in. Unless the market goes extremely bullish to quadruple whatever they raised - if not more, this is the end of the line for yet another freelance on the blockchain pipedream. I'm not one to gloat or even take any pleasure from startup failing to  translate their lofty ambitions into grounded utility, however, it's time some form of sanity starts getting restored into this industry and all these "mr. me too" knockoffs get back to the drawingboard for some shred of originality.
Ofc, we could wake up to BTC @ $100k tomorrow for another go at the merry go round

What blockchain is the project going to be a sidechain of or is it blockchain agnostic? Also, would like to know what differentiates your product from Betprotocol who are also offering a decentralized gambling/gaming application for people to build on?
Hello, Bowtiesarecool! Sidechain is a blockchain that runs in parallel to the main blockchain which extends functionality through interoperable blockchain networks allowing a decentralized way of transferring your tokens between the two chains. In other words, you can move your cryptocurrency to the sidechain and then back to the main chain.
MOON token is an ERC20 token and to enable its use on Ethereum blockchain and MoonRock sidechain we should work with Ethereum.

Maybe instead of aiming of a minimum of 3000 private investors during IEO, what is your min soft cap in terms of USD or bitcoin? Because aiming of min 3k investors won't give you figure how much you needed during your IEO stage.

Welcome on board, tippytoes!Our soft cap is not yet defined but it will be between 2 and 4 million USD. Our goal is to have as many investors as possible to ensure wide token distribution. Investor minimum will be defined in collaboration with the exchange where we will have an IEO an depends on exchange terms.

Know what a sidechain is. So basically, the answer to my question is the sidechain will only be compatible with Ethereum. No plans to make it compatible with blockchains that supports EVM down the line?

Full Picture:
I must confess that posting this was very conflicting - I mean who reads crypto Company Culture when there's the mammoth task of going through WP? I also thought of filing this under "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery" before coming to the conclusion that there is a clear cut difference between basing a company culture on something admired and copypasting their culture wholesale without any acknowledgement. It begs the question "who are you?" - if all you're doing is appropriating another's company culture wholesale in an industry where developers have a nasty habit of vanishing into the ether. Coupled with the fact that this was a DeFi platform and handling data, I felt it was best to bring their "corner-cutting" approach and let the community be the judge of.

Site? Roll Eyes

We are working on it. We initially started not with marketing, but with building a network of partners and a detailed study of the legal component. This is more important at the moment.

And the justification for publishing the announcement without a site or even detailed documentation based on your detailed study of the legal component is? Speaking of this detailed study, what's its current status? Ongoing? Would also like to know which regulatory bodies you'll likely be working with since you mentioned legal currencies and STOs

Would have loved having more concrete ETA for the 2020 goals f.e. Q2 for swap and such. But I completely understand the nuances of working with tech that has "immutability" as its second name. Slow and steady wins this race

Will strongly recommend overhauling the content on the website to be more concise and direct to the point. Thought maybe the ANN was a machine translation that lost its meaning along the way. When to the website only to find out that it contains an unabridged version of the founder's life. All I wanted to know was the token's targeted market and its core utility.
Mercifully, the WP was better thought out
Also, ICObench is not what it used to be anymore. Add the fact that you folks haven't been KYCed there just makes it all the more mucky

@Bowtiesarecool we provide regular updates on the latest developments and our activities on Medium:
https://medium.com/tixlcurrency

In addition, we will have further Testnet releases in 2020, so that Tixl can already be tested further and we also receive early feedback.
So it won't be quiet until the Mainnet release, even though we are currently no longer focusing on marketing that much.

We are looking forward to release the next Testnet version "Blankenese" Smiley

Thanks for the pointers though I'm subscribed to the newsletter and my assumption is I'll be getting updates fed to me via email rather than chasing down medium posts randomly.

Approximately, how many testnets do you think you'll be deploying before mainnet and are we likely to get post-mortem report on the testnet performances and issues?

Probably 3-4 Testnet versions. Of course, we can share some post-mortem reports from time to time if interesting Smiley

Excellent. Looking forward to the post-mortem reports. Personally, I feel these sort of things help carry the community along - helping them to appreciate how the product is growing and providing a measurable yardstick for how far the product has come.

Curious to know which blockchain/assets will be supported. Also is every transaction onchain or you have offchain features? Would also like to know if we're talking cross-chain/atomic swap if the DEX supports more than one blockchain

 "Anything that already built on the waves platform were scam"
@Teraboy don't generalize that everything on waves platform is scam, i mean how can you say that? there are other project in that platform that are still active, just because mobilego turns out to be scam don't mean every other project there are, there are turns of scam project in the ethereum platform too, would you generalize that all project in that platform are now scam?
you should be mindful of the way you address things.

Generalization is one of the biggest bugbear in the industry. However in this case, it's not without reason. To the best of my knowledge, projects that ICOed and issued as tokens on Waves platform in 2016/17 have now gone to the ground despite their initial promises.

Of course, eth has it own share of scams too, maybe even more than waves. The problem here though is how quickly bankruptcy/running out of funds have also become synonymous with the word scam. Considering the scale of eth ecosystem, projects launched on the network are likely to gain better ecosystem exposure and infrastructure - listing on "big" exchange, out of the box wallet support by "big" provider - this, in turn, pushes the "adoption" of their project faster on eth than waves.

BTW, did you guys run a bounty campaign in the past? I can't seem to find any details about it.
Also, good job on getting listed on IDEX, a so-called decentralized exchange that requires you to pass KYC. LMAO

I don't think this project will go somewhere else. I have posted before on this thread and seems that up until now, they are not attracting much users to their project. Though they are listed in several exchanges, it seems that they will not survive long. Just my opinion here...

Apparently.

OP has no interest in addressing any of the concerns raised. Matter of fact, OP seems to have no interest in replying to anybody other than trying to bait folks in. Looks like we're in for a very Mes(sy)Chain

What's the block reward, annual inflation rate and max supply for the coin?

With a billion already premined, do you have some sort of distribution/unlock schedule to know when what amount is going to enter the circulating supply?

What's the vesting schedule for the premine?

Hi!

You can check our economics here: https://hathor.network/resources/token-economics/

Yes, there is an unlock schedule. We will create a chart showing the circulating supply (and the unlock schedule) and put in the website. I'll let you know when it is available.

The whole team has a vesting of 4 years with 1 year cliff (with 10%) and vesting every 6 months (with 10% each except the last with 40%).

Thanks!

Looking forward to the unlock schedule and chart for circulating supply. The tokenomics is still giving me pause for thought. The two decimal place was almost about invalidating the concern until I saw the unlimited supply.
So for the first year, the protocol will be approx. 67m HTR will be mined?

Your partners include an outsourcing IT firm and a design firm... that sure sounds like the creme de la creme of it all.

Honestly, I get the pressure. You see all these crypto sites with all their partnerships and you suddenly feel incompetent.

Peer pressure.

Can't have the first IEO in Europe being shown up by a bunch of non-EU thingy. Time to slap on an exchange, the guys that built our website and our graphic designers as partners.

Perfecto

Wonderful. From totally ignoring the question to paying for threadbumping services - same 3 accounts asking a tireless list of questions in rotation.

Looks like someone didn't get Theymos' memo. Crypto marketing. Soon to be followed by the usual exit into a black hole. Thankfully, the community is maturing enough to be able to spot these things from a mile off

Refreshing to see an OP that calls their product exactly as it is. Question's how long will this "testing and experimentation" phase take?
