While the apex cryptocurrency BTC is hounding much of the interest, rightly so given its 62% dominance in the digital assets market — the fact that it has gotten outperformed by a dozen or so other cryptocurrencies is not getting enough attention...

Hi Guys,

This is an important announcement, We have been getting some security breach attempts since Day 1 of our Pre-sale. However, the rate at which security attempts were being tried increased, and with the news of beetoken and experty hack, we have decided to pause the Pre-Sale and go through a rigorous security audit to secure the platform in a better way. It has been reported to us that already scamsters have managed to scam investors of more than $50K of investors by creating fake accounts on telegram with the same names as that of Velix.ID team and asking for ETH in their personal wallets.

So as a measure, we are pausing our Pre-Sale till our security audits are through and we will be announcing the new dates soon.

Given the influence Reliance has over the Indian government and even general population, this move might just lead to an improved acceptance of Cryptocurrencies in India. I won't be too hopeful for the "JioCoin" itself though!

Hallo!

Von wo kaufst du Bitcoins? Der Cryptocurrency Wechsel muss vor dem Verkauf ein "KYC" (Kenne deinen Kunden) machen. Wenn Sie deine Daten überprüft haben, kannst du mit dem Kauf von Bitcoins beginnen!

Regulate, definitely; outright ban, no, na ah.

I covered the Indian government response to Cryptocurrency for CoinTelegraph here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/whats-the-plan-government-bitcoin-or-no-bitcoin-for-india

But the straightforward answer is that the government is trying to scare down the Cryptocurrency market in India by coming up with these press releases and comments, without having to take a formal legal action. It is clearly not working, though, and the market is constantly increasing. Regulating Crypto is not an easy task, and the government is likely to keep playing softball like it is doing now.

Be a full-stack developer to begin with (front-end and back-end), and then move on to learn about blockchain platforms such as Ethereum, Ripple, and EOS.

That is so awesome, SeveralIQ! You have a cool website and best of luck with making it popular! Someone from our team will definitely fill up our profile on your platform. If you want to join our community, get in touch!

Unfortunately, it is alive and kicking. Most people who do or say racist things, don't even realize that they are being racist and hurtful. If the color of someone's skin is a factor you consider in making a judgment about that person, you are a racist.

A currency is what is accepted as a currency by enough number of people. It's not like the US Dollars or any other nation's currency has any 'intrinsic' value, they are just pieces of paper stamped by the governments as well. The intrinsic value of a currency is always brought on by the economic value generated by the people who are exchanging the currency as a mode of payment and not by the currency itself.

Warren is a smart man, definitely a lot smarter and wiser than me, but anyone needs to put in the time to understand and contemplate before they go about making statements.

To me, this is not even a question. Paper money has already started dying and has no future. Even if we let aside cryptocurrencies, even the regular fiat has come into the digital mode entirely, with mobile app wallets making the transaction of money a lot easier compared to paper money transactions!

Topesis, I totally get your concern! However, we are actually trying to be quite transparent about the platform we are building. Have you seen the technical section of our white paper where we have tried to explain that how we are actually not at all even storing your identity with us? https://www.velix.id/assets/Velix-White-Paper.pdf

In the Velix.ID ecosystem, the User's information is always stored with them on their own device, and never with Velix.ID. The information is transacted directly to the verified-identity seeker, without any intermediary control from Velix.ID, as long as the consent of the User is present.

Please do dig in a little deeper into the project, we are definitely trying our best to build a genuine product that helps improve the process of ID verification for both businesses and consumers. Let us know if there are any concerns you have about your identity not being secure on the platform, and we will be happy to answer them!

Definitely! Our Bounty program will be live soon! Email us at bounty@velix.id to know more, or stay in touch with us on social media to know when the bounty is announced!

Amazing question! In case the User's device gets stolen, there are multiple security measures to protect you from your Velix.ID being compromised:

1. There's a two factor authentical that requires your thumbprint to unlock your Velix ID.
2. You can always access your Velix ID from another device and permanently disable your lost device, so that your Velix ID can no longer be accessed from that lost device.

I hope this answers your question.
