definitely want in on this! If I can sell some digital art that would interesting.
OP have you considered using some kind of smart contract system to make sure the sellers have been verified / legitimate digital content?
How would one be penalised if they sold fake keys or invalid accounts etc.
Good luck with the project and hope to hear more!

Stable, secure and working is more important than running the gimmicky bounty or sig campaigns. Just focus on getting the core dev right and the rest will follow.
Sounds a lot easier than it actually is. I have some from the initial sale, seems like it's still running and plenty of nodes up. Can't send em anywhere yet tho. Just have to hit up some merchants and perhaps coinpayments.net to get integrated for easier payment processing. |

Well after the Paycoin fiasco, hopefully MPC turns out humbly better.

Best thing to do is just keep an eye out on twitter. Since you might be on there anyway..

Not sure about the technical stuff but it sounds like a decent update. Looking forward to seeing this coin on an exchange, looking to pick up a bit more. Anyone willing to sell any?

Yo! This is great to see. Work will be less busy for me now leading up to christmas but I'll be making some trips here and there. I'll get some rides up for the festive period and new year  How easy is the process? |

Linux client works fine, running Ubuntu 13.04. Steemit could be a good idea but that place is losing a lot of confidence lately. I don't think there are that many users active as before now. I think just stick to the press releases and focus on a niche and it'll be fine.

Thank god I got in. Excited to get started carpooling. I'm pretty sure we're all going to have to do a lot of recommendation. Still trying to get my head round how we can get a decent user base. It's probably going to be a case of posting on facebook and getting my friends to take me places just for me to give them some RMC.

Got me some RMC... Now I want a ride to the moon  |

RideShare Safety
Car pooling is a safe way to commute as long as you follow certain safety guidelines.
Safety Tips
Meet prospective car pooling partners in a public place prior to traveling together. Avoid giving out too much personal information before meeting.
Ask questions to assess the driving habits and safety practices of prospective car pooling partners. You may also want to ask that they provide personal references.
Give friends or family the names of people you are car pooling with and let them know your schedule.
Trust your instincts. Just because you meet with someone or discuss car pooling doesn’t mean you are obligated to move forward. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.
Once you have established the people you will car pool with, exchange emergency medical information in case there is an accident or medical emergency.

in regards to all the security stuff. ppl saying i am not going to let me girl do this. Well stats in UK have proven more women rideshare than men. Its not like your jumping in a car with a bunch of ppl you dont know. its community driven so you might hook up with a friend first (buddy system) then start accepting new drivers.

Crowdsale LiveJust a reminder that the crowdsale is now live at www.ridemycar.meFor those who registered already, you will now be able to start making deposits and participating in the crowdsale. The crowdsale will end on Friday 8th Oct. As always, thank you for the continued support for RMC, without you, this project would not see the light of day. i think there is simply not enough carpooling so this concept is awesome. Too many ppl head out to work all going in the same direction solo. Teaming up saves money, gas, the environment and it's a great way for ppl to socialize offline. I hope this projects really comes through as it is needed in this day and age. I'm in! Give me a bonus and i'll buy more |

It's all a ruse! Soon they'll come out with IoT devices that facilitate machine to machine payments all the while storing data on who you are, where you are, and your money!
Okay well that's the dark side of what could happen.
The obvious question is, why can't uber just accept bitcoin? What is stopping them?
heh, the connected future - Improved efficiency, every kind of service at your fingertips, blockchain hackers working for the government harvesting and collecting all kinds of data. I'm with the anonymity camp here, anarchists unite! |

Just offering my 2 cents from a business POV
The success of this coin depends on a number of factors.
Lets break them down for the sake of constructive criticism and a mutual interest in economics.
Your coin will be able to attain scale only if individuals switch to using your monetary system as a means to accept and give payments for rides.
Existing players like uber, lyft, didi possess a massive monopoly in global markets and have been able to invest billions towards keeping away activities from unions and the likes. While ride sharing as a concept is fairly interesting - it includes changing the behavior of possible users. Now take into context the fact that uber is about to release self driving cars and we are increasingly moving towards machine to machine payments.
The total user base for your coin will rely on
-Those using crypto
-The fraction of people using crypto knowing your coin
-The fraction of people using crypto knowing your coin with other ride shares around / drivers willing to take the coin
-The fraction of people using the crypto knowing your coin with other ride shares around / drivers willing to take the coin with access to a wallet and coin of some value.
That, is a very small market. And unless and until you have atleast a couple million dollars to invest into acquiring users, those buying this token are going to end up sitting on another bunch of tokens that can neither be used for ride shares nor be traded.
Sorry, I do not mean to bash on you but do re think your strategy.
Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss this further.
Good analysis, you have a good grasp of the economics of business. It's scary to think that other rideshare businesses have basically been burning cash continuously in an effort to reach mass adoption. You do have very good points here.. Thank you for the kind words Sir. @OP - can you please explain what's going ? Reposting. Thanks for the analysis cryptor0th. From the discussion in the thread, it seems that it will indeed be quite a challenge to get a meaningful amount of adoption without burning a lot of cash whilst trying to become a loss leader. Some of the possible solutions to this have been to narrow the demographic and target specific use cases, I think someone mentioned University students for example. I would like to mention however that the purpose of this pre-ann is to have this discussion and see how the direction I should take this project. Integrating crypto into a real life business model is never easy because as you say, it requires changing the behaviour of users who are already accustomed to other systems. In addition, the crypto demographic is already a very small subset of society as a whole and trying to get people to understand and use crypto is a challenge in itself. I will say that the project much like crypto in general is still an experiment and I cannot guarantee that it will reach mainstream user adoption, but the lessons learnt will enable some aspects of crypto to be applied to this business model which I think is worth the effort. There are so many possibilities and yet one of the bottlenecks will always be the funding to make them possible. I will put together a marketing plan after reading some more discussion and I will be happy to discuss ideas moving forward. At this moment, I'm putting more focus on putting together a minimum viable product, after which, there is a possibility of approaching larger investors for the funding required to take this to the next level. I suspect that the larger part money spent will be in acquiring users, and you are very right in saying that this could be of the order of a few million dollars. There are however initiatives from governments around the world seeking to fund projects with some potential value. http://www.coindesk.com/uk-government-distributed-ledger-competition/ this is one I saw just the other day. cheers for info |

There's actually a really hot market right now for straight up drivers.
For people who drive their car out and then drink alcohol, you can find people who are able to drive you in your car, back to your place. I would actually use this.. maybe you can look into this?
your right the drivers could do very well on a friday and saturday night! I second this, I would use this too. The number of times I want to drink but can't because I gotta drive my car home. Obviously this won't work in countries where only the driver is licensed to drive the car. I propose a different idea : Someone else said renting out Bikes, what about straight up cars? I've noticed some cars parked outside my house that are for rent, and can be unlocked through an app. I'm sure there are a tonne of people who have their car sitting doing nothing for much of the time.. that would be a great way to make some money. |
