Good luck. Don't let your investors down.

Even if the testnet is live, this coin sucks... If this thing hits the exchange, its just gonna crash from everyone selling since its a piece. Look at that Windows wallet, its a rebadged and reskinned LTC wallet lol. Hopefully you have one big hedge fund investor that can manipulate the pricing because that's all thats saving this thing.

DECENTRALISED, FAST, SECURE, SEGWIT, SMART CONTRACTS. Amazing never seen before features lol.

Its still possible they will release this coin. Its not overly hard to release a half-assed product, especially with that much money raised but it will likely be completely useless. Even their claimed "amazing" features are already integrated into modern day coins today... There is NOTHING epic about this coin at all. Smart Contracts, SegWit, lol these are features...?

I wouldn't trade my DOGE coin for ATB.

I think the odds of Viewly replacing YouTube are very slim, but that is OK, because the meaningfulness and the size of the creator segment we're targeting is full-filling enough.

Monetization models for creators:
 - Private Channels (like Netflix or Spotify)
 - Recurring Patreonage (for perks, status, commerce)
 - Frictionless Micropayments (as an upvote or like)
 - Sponsorships

Token flows:
Businesses -> Content creators
Viewers -> Content Creators
Content Creators -> Decentralized Storage/CDN Providers and Oracles

The token flows need to be tight, to avoid unnecessary market pressure.

There are plenty of tokens above $100M mkt cap with no users, or use cases other than speculation.
We hope to bring crypto to non-technical people, and address the problems in the UGC space that have been bothering us for years.

I would encourage you to read the monetization models part of the whitepaper.

The theory behind Viewly is that while ads work reasonably well for celebrities (with millions of viewers), they don't scale as well to most niches, despite the high quality content creators and their loyal viewers.

We are highly focused on this segment, allowing quality content creators to supplement, or perhaps in many cases supersede their YT income.

Excellent question.

Originally we planned to build Viewly as a fork of Steem, however the most likely path for the time being is for Viewly to be hosted on an existing chain with large distribution / network effect.
There are some trade-offs here, between liquidity and technical suitability for the problems at hand.


Given the retail nature of the project, the blockchain part needs to be abstracted away from the end user.
So in the end, as long as liquidity and a bridge between conventional means and crypto are in place, it won't matter much.

Check out the WP for storage and CDN proposal.

In a nutshell:

• Publishers pay for storage and CDN
• Professional hosting providers compete for ranking and capacity
• Storage is validated trough proof-of-spacetime (adapted from Filecoin), CDN service is validated trough elected oracles (PoA)
• All of the available data is open, so that all parties can make best decisions possible

Checking out the Website, Whitepaper and FAQ is a good start.

No risk no reward. If you're fine with having no gains in investments.

Its not that hard to tell if an ICO will do well. All you have to do is make sure the ICO isnt a scam and you can profit easily.

China banned bitcoin like 5 times in the past, this "news" isn't even news nor has it anything to do with the recent correction in the market. People take profit in any market and that is what is happening.

The regulation calls all these fundraising techniques "illegal" when that is something they just came up with right now and will likely blow over as soon as they see how stupid their decisions are.

Just trade bitcoin the same as any stock. Support/resistance and you're good.

All markets behave the same way. If the rally goes too high it can definitely drop but its not going to 0.

Just look at all the support its made in the 2000-3000 area. There would have to be some big disaster to bust threw that.

Never seen any issues with YoBit although we've only used them once.

Definitely open a support ticket and see whats up.

Stratis is one of the more promising projects in my books.

Will be great to see it progress from here on now that its seeing a lot of momentum.

The guys at Ethereum seem to think Steem is garbage. We'll see how right they are or if they are just haters.

That's true as well, it could get rigged fairly easily and biased unless the people behind it has some sort of reputation behind it.

Would be nice to have a web site that does ICO investigations. The problem is that there are so many popping up daily that its physically impossible for some people to verify all of them. It can take long hours to do in depth research on a single ICO.

Its not shitcoins we need to be worried about, there are tons already with no volume and garbage market caps.

Its the phony ICO's that need to be dealt with, warnings to the community need to be done. Raising of capital for bogus projects need to end.
