A very quick overview on some of the DApp features we are looking at adding

https://medium.com/@ascendancyio/ascendancy-dapp-a-quick-overview-48229c45e38a#.6ei2vctps

Other cryptocurrencies into the platform is certainly a possibility if that is what the dAPP creator is wanting, there are no limits of what they can use from an API for example. But the main idea is that it will allow developers who are not 'savvy' with blockchain technology to develop in a container or what other platforms call a sidechain. With educational documents and simplified libraries to help them every step of the way. Their own token will run aside from the main blockchain though, however this will not really be noticable to an average user and it will appear as its own chain.

I will also add that their own token is just a scenario from me, they do not even have to show this really as the blockchain could be running with PoS in the background of their dAPP.

edit: Yes, we will of course be using trusted escrows with multi-signature signing.

Project Update
The date of the IPO has been moved to Friday 27th January 2017. We believe that the delay will allow us adequate time to increase our presence in the community, step up development and allow us to prepare further. Please let us know if you have any questions about this or other matters, we are happy to answer all queries.

To add to this message we are still recruiting the following positions

2 x FULL/MEAN stack developers
1 x Graphic Designer
1 x Project Manager

We are also look for project and cryptocurrency advisors to help the project succeed.

This project has been in the works for the past 9 or 10 months when Bitcoin was around $400. We even named it a 5 or 6 months back and bought the domain sometime around then (actually bough 2016-07-02, https://www.nic.io). You may think its obvious but you are incorrect in this case. Some of the site is not even public right now for the IPO (Starting 30 Dec 2016) Let alone the starting code for the framework.

The reason for the IPO is to raise capital to initiate faster development. In exchange for us raising capital to help development you will get an opportunity to own some token / equity at a low price based on our predictions. You do not have to take up this opportunity if you do not wish to.

Looking for graphic designer, 2 x FULL/MEAN Stack developers to increase productivity.

Hi BTC Community,

We will not have a demo as such, but we may be able to spare the resources at some point in the next few weeks to have a seperate proof of concept. Ascendancy will be open source however and you will be able to track development of the product when we work on the public codebase.

We are working hard to have an efficient workflow and a productive team.

We could definitely use a Marketing Assistant who also has skills with designing Signatures.
They are pretty difficult to design if you do not know what you're doing.

Please PM us and we can figure something out.

Thank You for all the applications and bounty requests, we will work through them and respond to you all shortly.

There are some similarities on the outside but the mechanism of action is completely different, the dAPP idea is a good idea and we have thought about this as a main idea for a long time. We noticed that lisk has tried to implement this with mixed success but we know out implimentation will work for our users.

We have a completely different development process. I assure you that this is not close to lisk. just some cosmetics

The bounties will soon be released

Hi 2012,

If I am honest we have not really thought much into escrow. We have been more dedicated on the project internals and theory. Let me speak with the rest of the team who are currently in different timezones and we can confer on the matter. It will be our priority to make our investors feel safe with their investment.

Thank You for the post!

Hi BTC Community,

Thanks for your post.

When I say we have been in the process of creation I do mean theoretical ideas and problem solving. Development has yet to start and when it does Ascendancy will be open source for all to see the code. The main reason we are hiring extra developers is to increase productivity and deliver a product much sooner. Development will be starting this week in either case.
