3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: (PREANN) PURE VIDZ Crowdfunding Campaign Starts Soon! on: November 07, 2016, 07:34:30 PM
What is Pure Vidz?
Pure Vidz is a video streaming protocol modeled after the successful platform known as Youtube however, built upon and around the decentralized platform that is Torrents. Pure Vidz utilizes Web Torrent technology to deliver an immersive viewing experience allowing us to provide you with a variety of content such as TV Shows, Movies and even personal videos without us or you needing to worry about the legal ramifications of hosting or viewing said content. Due to the nature of Torrents, Pure Vidz actually does not host any videos directly on its platform but rather provides a well refined index of tags, playlists and user profiles making it easy to upload or view whatever it is you desire.


Since anyone can make a torrent, it’s very easy to turn Pure Vidz into your own personal site for managing video blogs or custom entertainment content as so many Youtubers do today in modern day society. Unlike Youtube, you won’t have to worry about your videos randomly being taken down as personally uploaded videos are dependent on your initial seeding of the video files until it propagates throughout the network as others download your video and begin seeding it as well.


Pure Vidz through use of its decentralized torrent network solves problems such as the many free movie or tv show websites that require you to click through 100 mirrors only to realize the majority of them are broken links and were taken down due to DMCA take downs. At Pure Vidz you won’t have to worry about this because there is no true one host for the video files since they exist on a distributed torrent network of people seeding the files. Unlike traditional streaming websites where quality degrades with more people watching due to server bandwidth consumption, at Pure Vidz it’s the complete opposite and built to scale where the more people watching a video will actually improve loading times to be faster due to the number of seeders increasing!



VIDZ coin
More info coming shortly. Smiley

Crowdfunding
More info coming shortly.

Team
Due to the fact that Pure Vidz heavily utilizes torrents to circumvent censorship and to promote decentralization it’s likely that with increased popularity Pure Vidz will be under siege the way that popular sites such as The Pirate Bay constantly are despite our model being entirely legal. To avoid this, we’re forced to remain anonymous.

We’re aware the anonymity is often a red-flag typically for developers, however since we are forced to do this to protect ourselves, we will do our best to maintain transparency through means such as escrow, multi-signature wallets and public addresses


Roadmap
Early November 2016
Crowdfunding starts.

Early December 2016
Test / Demo Functionality Site

January 2017
Crowdfunding Ends
Initial Site Launch
VIDZ Integration
Account Registration
User Dashboard
Video/Magnet Link Uploading / Management
Meta Tagging


February 2017
Public API Launch (allows automated uploading, 3rd party tools, etc)
Begin Trakt Integration




This is truly a great idea, not so much for the developed world where most of us ( not me) use netflix or hulu or other monthly paid membership sites. But for thoses who like to free stream their tv from sites like putlocker and megashare. The problem with those sites and I hope Purevidz can fix is that amount of broken links, and play buttons I need to click through to find the real feed. Sometimes I need to open up 5 or 10 tabs just to get one working link from putlocker. Its really annoying.

If you guys fix this and figure out a way around it and also have a large selection of content this this can blow up huge and be the first decentralized streaming site.
WOW. Good luck devs.

the guy that is dumping still has 26653 JEWELS left, I saw him put his whole stack, they didn't get sold, and he removed them

that's not a whole lot if you consider ICO price it's like 0.5 BTC worth or so, its funny how many people invest into a project more than they can and they end up in the unfortunate scenario of selling at a loss because they're in dire need of $$... first rule of investing, only invest what you can....

Yobit will list JWL anytime soon ?

Put in a req @ https://yobit.net/en/addcoin/ choose free. Anyone can req an add free (does not have to be developer)

Done. I think if Bittrex doesn't add Jewels then Yobit is not a bad starting place to Jewels.

Shouldn't the dev be focused on building the game instead of a new cryptocurrency?

The dev is focused on building the game, his newest project Heroes is suppose to launch near the start of September. The purpose of Jewels is to fund development for his large scale upcoming project called Rebirth. Apex and Heroes simply demonstrate to us or well at least to me that the dev is competent and knows what he's doing. His past shows me that he knows how a community, cater towards the gamers playing his games and monetize it successfully.

I don't see why he would spend development time building a new cryptocurrency when he could leverage an existing one instead.

I agree since the currency doesn't need to do much. They could be leveraging an existing one by simply cloning an existing coin which wouldn't take a lot of time to make small modifications as required or use an asset on a coin like NXT, BTS, XCP etc. I think they did state at the at some point they could do an asset swap if they required the power of another block chain like ETH's smart contracts.

Where did they talk about a swap?

My bad


On the note of smart contracts, I personally have looked into Etherum but have not had much chance to experiment with or learn Solidity although it seems like a fairly straight forward language. While at this time I'm not 100% sure about everything gambling related being able to fit under a smart contracts it is an idea we're open to. I'm aware of the fact that we can utilize an Etherum token stored in a smart contract and effectively do an asset swap when we're ready to pursue the smart contract route. I'd like to stress though with the recent incident of the DAO it's clear that this route is something that should not be rushed so we see this more as an end-game idea. Definitely we will need to consult with parties who are more familiar with Solidity and smart contract development to ensure we don't unleash another disaster like that. If you know anyone who's had some decent experience with Solidity and Etherum, I'd love to have a chat with them so please encourage them to email us at jewels@apexconquer.com or better yet reach out to us via Slack.


They were talking about using ETH's smart contracts, but not an "asset" per say like a XCP asset in the BCY sense.

Well after listening to the Beyond Bitcoin recording I'm a bit more interested in this project. I think I'll keep following you guys on there for a bit and choose whether to commit fairly soon. Best of luck with your project Smiley

How much did each of those people pay to get there?  Shocked

The comparison isn't really fair though. Riot has thousands of employees and billions of dollars in investor money (and profits). Their esports cost them money but they treat it as a way to advertise the game and build longevity to the brand.


That being said their world championships are always impressive. I know in 2014 they sold out a 45,000 seat auditorium for the finals in Korea and in 2015 there was a viewership of 35 million people.


I'm well aware that people always have the mentality of the "next world of warcraft" or the "next league of legends" but such comparisons are neither realistic nor are they particularity helpful. A better example or goal would be Path of Exile. They are a team of developers who got impatient waiting for a 'real' diablo game (they hated diablo 3 and felt it was too focused on casual gamers) so they started their own company and built the game from the ground up. Their game is very much targeted at niche groups (it's VERY unforgiving to new players and requires a lot of math and theory crafting to be successful) but because they have stuck so closely to their initial goals and done such a great job at building their community, their game is worth many millions of dollars now.

The core idea is very much the same idea as project rebirth. We are developers who truly and un-ironically enjoyed conquer online but feel that the company that owns the IP has managed it in a horrible way and that the core game mechanics can be pushed so much further. We've done a lot with apex and will do even more with heroes to push the game mechanics in new and exciting directions but rebirth is very much the same driving concept as Path of Exile had in regards to Diablo. Take what you like about the genre and do it really, really well. Don't try to make a billion dollar game, try to make something that tens or hundreds of thousands of players will desperately want.


Honestly, this is such a great comparison as I've played both diablo 2, 3, and PoE and would say yeah these are realistic goals that this project should have going forward. The fact that you beat me to making this comparison tbh disappointed I didn't think of it first only convinces me further in your ability to understand the key elements of game design and how to caterer towards your audience. After all this last quote here is probably something I'd like to highligh

Don't try to make a billion dollar game, try to make something that tens or hundreds of thousands of players will desperately want.

LoL appealed to the fans of Dota and this way way before Dota 2 was even known to be in the works. I doubt anyone working at Riot or designing LoL at the time knew how big it would be. They only had one goal in mind - make something fun that they knew this group of people would enjoy. Well said man.

Ooh for sure, riot had a similar beginning many years ago and was developed by the original creators of the warcraft mod. I think my distinction though became trying to use the mass market appeal league has as a target for development. It's moved so far from it's origins that it just seems like a bad example to me.

I think after this small exchange of thoughts here I'm even more confident in Chris's ability to lead this project to success. Keep it up you're doing a great job so far!
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will ETC pump hard? on: August 29, 2016, 11:51:44 PM
Personally, I think ETC is pretty stagnant and this drama has blown over for ETH. I expect to see ETH to continue growing in the future and ETC to remain about the same unless they plan on putting together some crazy dev' team. It's be funny to see ETC's dev team release features before ETH then maybe we'll see something happen

It's not difficult at all to manage multiple bitcoin wallets and it prevents you from getting screwed if you're compromised. Ever hear of the phrase don't keep all your eggs in one basket?

Almost 70 Bitcoins now. I think this is when most people will start investing.

This will hopefully be the start of a rush and the team can reach their target.
I never really give a shit but for once I want a legit project to have a good chance while be surrounded by so much shitty projects and clear fucking scams.
Come on lets smash this bad boy out the park!
 I have another 0.5btc I am going to put in later taking me up to 1.3btc. I don't have much but I am not missing out.

I can feel the rush for sure but yeah I have no idea how like so many shit ICO's that have nothing to show, zero credability and that sort of nonsense have no problem raising 100, 200, or even more btc. It's sort of depressing... but it's ok I feel the rush coming! 2 days left!

The great thing is regardless where this goes now we will either have fast development or cheap coins.

The question is what would you prefer? A sell out and raising the cost of the coin but giving faster development or under target giving us all cheap coins with slower development?

I'd prefer that it raises the amount they're asking for or more. I'd really like to see where Rebirth goes in terms of game play dynamic and what it has to offer as I may consider playing it myself if it had cantering towards casual players who don't have much time but enjoy playing these sorts of games. The other thing is sooner Rebirth is in production the sooner we'll see better coverage of it in the media Wink

Updated the opening post with some of our recent promotional material such as the Blockchain Dynamics Interview and our appearance on the Beyond Bitcoin radio show Smiley

I don't know what changes you made but the bottom of the announcement looks all fucked up now. You might want to take a look at it.

Yeah I agree. Maybe center the promotional stuff? Some of it looks off.

I'll fix the Beyond Bitcoin logo in the morning, I'll need to photoshop the white out of it to translucent. Centered the rest of text/images and it looks reasonably good again Tongue

Looks better now good job. Will Heroes have any new visuals compared to Apex or is it simply added content? By visuals I mean like new things to buy in the Jewels shop compared to what's currently being sold on Apex.
