First of all stay away from ICO's. Only experienced investors should consider those. ICO's are mostly overpriced, and have little or no guarantee of delivering what they promise. Second, there is a massive shortage of good crypto-devs. The good ones are mostly already working in other projects, so it's really hard to find good devs for a new coin or token. Third, the "experts" that are available to you in forums and social media are mostly accepting payment to shill a coin so noobs like you go and buy it. So until you have gained sufficient knowledge yourself or by chance get access to one of the private channels where real experts discuss, you are easy prey for the sharks.

We are now in a bear market. That means a lot of very good and established coins are cheap. They are a lot easier to research than ICO's. With established coins also noobs can do proper research along the lines that several people in this thread have suggested.  

I just sent you a pm to get you on slack

@Thul
You have not clearly stated what kind of market/target you are talking about. Based on your posts though, I'm guessing you are talking about black markets. If you read old posts in this thread, you will see that the topic has been discussed several times.
I'm not going to repeat everything that has been said before on this topic, but here are some main points. Although BitBay (like almost any other tech) can be used for illegal purposes, we do not encourage it. There are three main reasons for that:
1. No one in the BitBay team wants to encourage illegal activities.
2. Many members of the team are listed on our team page with their real names. We do not want our names tied to black markets.
3. Although it takes more effort to conquer the legal markets than the illegal ones, the reward is much bigger if we succeed. Legal markets are so much bigger than illegal ones that we only need a fraction in order to become much bigger going the legal route.

@BitBayDoc
Please let us keep this thread polite.
Difference of opinion is not only accepted, we actually welcome it. If this develops any further in the direction it is now going, I will start deleting posts.

I am. Although the content has changed a lot lately. It's more an insider event now.

I see there are questions about how to receive the Opti airdrop. We will post detailed instructions when we get them from Optitoken. The snapshot of our blockchain is Mai 1st, so you can't do anything until then anyway (except moving your Bay off the exchanges)

OptiToken has released the details regarding the airdrop on Bay holders:


Optitokens will be airdropped to BAY holders in the following format.

1:300 meaning 1 OptiToken for every 300 BAY the top 500 addresses hold in their BAY cold wallet  at time of snapshot at roughly 3pm UTC on May 1st, 2018.

The amount is set to be roughly 3.9 million OptiToken which is in ICO value nearly €500,000 value at current ICO rate of €0.12 per OptiToken. The value can grow as well as we are extending a way for others to participate. OptiToken is a strong believer in BAY and looks forward to its growth as it nears its pegging to the USD.

What if my BAY are stuck on UpBit? Please speak with Seungjin in the Korean BitBay TG group as he’s coordinating the solution and we will most certainly include those individuals.

What if I’m not a top 500 address but still active in community?
Simply shoot us an email at airdrop@optitoken.io with your Slack name or TG name and an ERC20 compatible ETH wallet address we will drop you 30 OPTI as well Smiley

Here’s an added bonus we’ve decided to add in as we try to innovate demand in this bearishly depressing market:

Airdrop doubles for BAY holders who buy 2 ETH+, triples for people who buy 5 ETH+ of OPTI. So what this means is if someone is set to receive 4,000 OPTI’s from Airdrop their allocation will raise to 8,000 or even 12,000 additional tokens

If someone from the BAY community doesn’t have enough BAY to be a top 500 address then they can still participate and receive 2,500 additional OPTI if they purchase 2 ETH+ of opti and hold at least 1000 BAY, 5,000 additional opti if they buy 5 ETH+ and hold at least 1000 BAY.

To receive this discount email info@optitoken.io with your BAY deposit address so we can explore the balance along with your email you used to sign up and purchase OptiToken. We’ll examine both address on or within a few days of the timestamp date for Airdrop which is May 1st.

Did you know?
OptiToken recently switched its ICO pegged price from the EURO to ETH=€385 (22% added value) and BTC=€6480 (20% roughly added value) whyd we do this? This gives HODL’ers and true believers in crypto a chance to rewind time a bit and peg their crypto’s value a bit higher while bad actors continue to try to drive market prices down!
OptiToken.io is where you go if you wish to participate. We hope this brings a lot of new buys to OptiToken as we have people who are now learning about BAY for the first time in our social outlets and we hope the same happens for OptiToken.

I assume you are asking if there is a way to get bounties? If so, you can contact aletha@bitbay.market and tell her about your skills. If they match any needs we have, there may be some bounties.

We have just announced two partnerships. You can check it on twitter:

https://twitter.com/BitBayofficial/status/980157816378920960

https://twitter.com/BitBayofficial/status/980158333536624640

We are very pleased to announce two new exciting partnerships!
Pi Supply, a major retailer of Raspberry Pi and accessories will list their products in the BitBay Marketplace.
To celebrate they will release a special BitBay Staking Box, available to buy this coming week!

We have also officially partnered with the Indacoin exchange and are looking forward to integrating fiat>bay purchases across the BitBay platforms.
More details to follow on both of these great new partnerships in the next few days.

Thanks. It's nice to get feedback on our hard work 

That calendar has taken everything from our last roadmap that was dated Q2 without further specification and put it on march 31st. That is not correct of course. Go to our roadmap for updated info.

Any known devs with a proven track record working on it?

Hey Blakebad, sorry for late reply, but I was trying to take the weekend off.
Like and share our social media posts, post in forums like this, and also on reddit. We particularly need help with reddit. If you have contacts in media, try to pull some strings to get us some coverage.
Facebook and other social media have some big crypto groups. Join them and tell people about BitBay.

Problem with Google translate?

It's not because BitBay is going down. Quite the opposite, Bitbay has had a very big increase the last year. The reason is all those vaporware ICO's that have come with big(mostly manipulated) marketcaps.
That's ok, it will implode at some point, and then the real projects will be the ones left standing. But I guess that's a discussion for a new thread.
