Masternode Dapp now running on testnet. Here's the blog post: https://blog.hoardinvest.com/hoard-masternode-reward-contracts-deployed-on-testnet/

Hoard ICO is halfway thru. Softcap is almost complete. We’re opening up a 20% discount.

@Catswold - really appreciate the post. Hoard might not have any Merit on BTC Talk but we clearly have merit in  developing usable applications and scalable protocols.

It's coming. We've been working on rebuilding the website, connecting the token page to the smart contract to update the numbers in real time.

Currently we're at about 26% sold. That's approximately 70% of our softcap.

Cheers. Jason.

We've got a few open positions. Our core focus are more devs and designers. Here's a link to our job postings. https://angel.co/hoardinvest/jobs

Most important positions are react native developers, dev ops, and visual design.

You can apply on Angel or hit up me, the CEO, on linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonbrandondavis/

Cheers!

Thank you. We felt it was best to build an actual product before launching this sale. While only in beta, we’re weeks away from a full blown launch of the wallet.

We stand firm believing the ICOs looking to disrupt the financial sectors should build bridges, not buildings, and that’s exactly what we aim to do.

We’re prepared to work with regulators in other countries where applicable. The goal of the crypto to fiat transaction is to enable crypto holders to spend using crypto but businesses and merchants receive as their national currency without a bank or card issuer in the middle.

Timeline for this in other nations beyond the USA hadn’t been defined but were aiming for early next year.

Hi Brian. We’ll be relying on the hashing power and security of Ethereum when we launch. We’ve deliberated at length about creating our own blockchain, likely a clone of ethereum but still leveraging their networ date transactionsk. It hasn’t been decided.right now we’re relying on Ethereums smart contract maturity, dev community, and hash.  We didn’t want to make the mistake of so many new coins creating their own blockchain, PoW, without the support of a large community in place.

Both iOS and Android are currently running in Beta through TestFlight and the google play store. The production release should be out in a few weeks. We’re targeting mid to late October.

The very first production release will Support Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains with front end support for the top 50-100 MC coins on those chains.

Within that first release you’ll be able to create a wallet, send funds to that wallet, send peer to peer transactions on chain and send to device contacts, email address, phone numbers to anyone in the world. They won’t need the app or a crypto wallet to initiate the transaction.

Kinda like Venmo, but crypto.

We took a step back to look at truly fundamental issues were up against in the crypto-economy and traditional finance. The biggest takeaways we decided to focus on were speed, reliability, support and experience.

Speed. Our second layer is being built to compete with lightning and raiden. Assets need to move at the speed of WiFi if we’re going to compete with consumer fintech products but keeping inline with censorship resistance and  decentralization were very important. Sending bitcoin across chain works great but we can improve upon that experience while maintaining possession of our keys we’ve leveled up.

Reliability. People use banks for a myriad of reasons but the most important reasons are two fold. 1. Is trust. A bank customer knows the deposit made will be there when they return. 2. It just works. We don’t have to think about paying a bill, moving money, saving funds, writing checks, or swiping cards. The system has worked for 2 centuries now. We’re approaching everything we do as something you don’t have to think about. It just works and it can be trusted, even in a trustless ecosystem.

Support. Customer support is horrible in this industry. Even the biggest company in the space has some of the slowest and most unreliable customer support. Our customer support team is as much our product is the app. Email, chat, and soon will offer phone support (once we can afford it).  I don’t want a single user to feel left out, labeled as a ######## our forgotten about.

Experience. Probably the single most important element is our user experience. While we integrate with banks, we do not want to become one. I worked for one for many years and know both sides of their experience. We have no plans to offer checking accounts, credit and loans, debit cards, ATMs, or brick and motor stores. We’re disrupting this space by not building band-aids like crypto cards. We’re introducing tech anyone can use, any business can benefit from, and any market can absorb. Combine his with private transactions with zero knowledge proofs and we’re a viable option for both the average consumer and the crypto OG.

Lastly, our fiat system enables us to move cash at the speed of WiFi too. Faster than any bank and faster the any crypto-bank. Visa takes 3-5 days to settle for a merchant. We settle in 1 second. Most crypto-banks rely on blocktimes, we’re developing a second layer to move assets as fast as cash. I’ll end with this. We’re open source and available to contribute to, fork, test and audit. Name me a bank willing to give that up?

Thanks for the question. A really great one.

Thank you kindly for the appreciation and taking notice of our hard work. The team is dedicated to driving innovation, service, product and customer support for the average and advanced crypto consumer.

Thanks for the compliments. Beta is live right now. Main net isn’t far away.

Hey. While we're building a slight competitor to Dust, I can give you a partial run down on how it works.

Dust, along with his(Cobain) main competitors, Crypton & CoinFlash leverage Coinbase as the wallet / account / exchange structure. Then, with the integration of a third party provider, Plaid, these apps can login to your account, view/collect data, in order to facilitate the transaction. Plaid is also a clearinghouse to process transactions as Coinbase is merely the exchange / wallet.

Dust doesn't(shouldn't) collect or store your banking information. Not your login credentials, anything. Just access to review financial data. https://plaid.com

Coinbase already has deep integration baked in with plaid now, but these apps have to create their own account. While Cobain eluded to develop beyond Coinbase, it hasn't been stated explicitly anywhere.

Hoard @HoardInvest - https://hoardinvest.com offers something unique. We bypassed Coinbase altogether, bypassed plaid altogether, and began developing our own decentralized exchange and multi-SIG multi-currency wallet explicitly to offer more than 3 coins, waaay more than 3. So with Hoatd, you can get those Alts on the cheap.

Not sure what he charges end users. I can guarantee we're cheaper. Also, because we skirted Coinbase, we face US FinReg requirements. Licensing that's expensive. But that puts us on a whole other level as has as capabilities, fees, reach.

Got any social media channels or chat channels we can follow? Would like to keep tabs on your progress.

Here's one i've always followed. Hope it helps: https://www.smithandcrown.com/

Hi All. We're developing a cryptocurrency Chatbot on Telegram that alerts you when coin prices dip. We just released Alpha v1 yesterday. If your interested in testing the waters head over the website, sign up, and give it a try.

We're still bugging and developing. New features are on the roadmap. If you come across any issues or want to share ideas to improve, we're open to all suggestions.

The premise of Coin Dips was built out of our own necessity. We were searching for good opportunities to buy a coin... on the dip. Opposed to the typical pumps we're using to seeing on CryptoPing. We love Ping BTW. We just wanted an app to tell us when things we're going south, not north.

I guess in one way we're trying to solve for, or help folks, buy low and sell high. Or get notified when your investment (coin) is tanking and you want to trade.

Love to hear everyone's thoughts or ideas.
