1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / [ANN] ShipChain - Disrupting the $10 Trillion Shipping & Logistics Industry on: December 08, 2017, 03:08:48 AM




ShipChain.io | Whitepaper | Twitter | LinkedIn | Telegram | Instagram | Press List

TOKEN SALE COMING IN JANUARY

PRIVATE PRESALE OPEN - presale@shipchain.io - ACCREDITED INVESTORS ONLY - CONTACT FOR KYC/AML - U.S. INVESTORS WELCOME IN PRE-SALE AND MAIN SALE



ShipChain was founded with the mission to create a unified, end-to-end technology platform that will revolutionize the logistics and transportation industry using blockchain technology.  The logistics industry currently faces numerous problems, including lack of visibility, lack of accountability, high markups from middlemen, and a high occurrence of fraud and theft.  With our technology, and the SHIP token, ShipChain will be able to use blockchain to resolve the biggest problems facing the industry today.  Taking a holistic, multimodal (truck, rail, air, sea) approach enables us to unify the industry in a way that has never been possible until today.

[ SHIPCHAIN PARTNERS ]





ShipChain accomplishes these goals through a combination of contract initiation on the Ethereum blockchain, as well as use of sidechains to facilitate the flow of logistics data, such as telemetry, geolocation, bill of lading, and other necessary information.  The high transaction costs of ethereum for large scale volume are reduced, and specific information for shipping is stored in these sidechains to increase transaction speed, provide a store for specialized info, and reduce cost.  This allows the goal of a unified, industry-wide track and trace environment to occur in a low cost, high speed, trusted method.




[ WEB PLATFORM ]

ShipChain will allow for web booking using the SHIP token, as well as fiat currencies converted to SHIP on site.  Shippers of goods can link directly with freight carriers, choose their individual routes and lanes, and avoid costly middlemen.  This allows for lower cost freight, while carriers will keep more of what they earn to move the shipment.  ShipChain will offer a transparent, low fee environment, cutting out unnecessary steps.  AI guidance to assist in choosing the best route based on variable inputs such as shipper preference, hazardous materials, weather, traffic, and even IoT data received from trucks such as pothole avoidance, and much more, will benefit shippers and drivers in reducing the cost and transit time.  The ShipChain Web platform will also be one of two revenue models for ShipChain, in which a small, transparent markup percentage is applied to the booking of freight.  This is in stark contrast to the existing method of high markup brokers by phone.



[ REWARDS ]

With a shortage of over 100,000 truck drivers in the US alone, and that number expected to grow to over 250,000 by 2025, there are significantly more shipments than there are drivers to handle it.  While self-driving trucks are on the horizon, it is doubtful that regulators will fully allow them to be autonomous in the near future.  In the ShipChain ecosystem, drivers are rewarded for participating in numerous ways, with portions of transaction fees being sent to their SHIP wallet directly.  Not breaking the speed limit too many times, on-time delivery, log compliance, eco-friendly driving, and a high customer rating all contribute into determining how much SHIP they receive as a reward.  This entices new drivers to join the industry, while also helping carriers maintain margins, all the while benefitting owner-operators even more.

[ SHIP TOKEN ]

The SHIP token fuels the ecosystem by acting both as a membership requirement on the blockchain, as well as a method of payment.  While the web platform will allow for multicurrency booking, booking actually takes place on the blockchain using the SHIP token.  SHIP are distributed to drivers based on their tier of rewards, and carriers must hold the token to participate and receive loads.  500,000,000 tokens will be minted, and broken down as such:

8  Bitcoin / Press / [2016-02-06] Bitcoin is like chocolate on: February 06, 2016, 02:23:59 PM
Bitcoin is a little like chocolate: it’s mildly addictive in nature, sweet when it’s done right, and very satisfying when you receive it. But there’s a darker side to Bitcoin which (oddly enough) is also like chocolate: when the temperature rises, it can melt down into worthless gunk that nobody wants. And when that happens, everyone loses out.

Whether you're new to Bitcoin or an old pro, it's easy to get scammed by someone who's clever. Everyone is vulnerable and wants to protect themselves, but as more and more media attention starts to happen, more and more scammers will appear and try to get someone to pay them for nothing.

14  Economy / Economics / The rainbow of emotions on: April 08, 2013, 08:38:22 AM
It's not made easy for us miners, traders and investors in general when it comes to the price marketing. The last downfall hasn't happened yet, and people are already becoming skeptical. This is where the emotions come into play. How can we control our emotions, and what and how do these emotions come in play when it comes to investing? Let me show the rainbow of the emotions.

Emotions are okay,
Emotions are fine, they're natural and therefor not bad at all. Every decision you make in your life, is based on an emotion. There is always emotion in everything you do. It's not bad, but we can try to maximize it. Forget the people and the rumors when to buy, and when to sell. These strategy do not work because your emotional wall is blocking them. Back to the rainbow.

Greed (First phase)
One of the reasons why people decide to invest in a market is because they want to maximize profit. In this case every outsider wants to be part of bitcoin/litecoin. And this is most likely the case with most people. However, the greed can give a negative effect and disturb the balance between risk and expected efficiency. You have probably heard of it sometimes from someone to start buying stock ABC, because it will 'definitely' go up. Here lays the emotion greed, and I advise not to go in on that kind of advise.If greed made you purchase a share, and it does go up, the glory and hope will be as high as a mountain. You bought because you thought it would go up, and it did. The thought starts to grow that it will most likely start growing faster and more. ''Lets make a quick buck'' is the ego with this.

You'll feel like a good experienced investor.

Pride (Second Phase)
As the stock continues to go up, you don't have to fear of outsiders who claim that it will go down. You are right, and you feel proud because you have made the right decision. The price going up is a confirmation of your knowledge. Your ego is flattered, your satisfied.
Meanwhile you slowly start turning blind. Meaning that you are likely to push all the good aspects of your purchase to the front, to highlight them. While the negative aspects of your purchase are pushed to the background. Negative news about your purchase is not even been seen or heard. A correct view on the price clouds. Here is the basis fundamental for a drastic disturbance between emotion and ratio. Objective observations blur, emotions threaten to prevail.
Your infinite glory must be seen by everyone, and you wish to share it with the world. Proud stores itself in pride and conceit. You start to talk at birthday parties about your brilliant purchase. You even turn cynical ''I thought you had knowledge of the markets, then why didn't you buy bitcoin/litecoin earlier?''

Love (Third Phase)
As long as price rises, you muzzle other investors mouths, don't you? As long as the price rises, than your right. But the emotional bond with the run becomes stronger and stronger as the price continues to rise. The balance between emotion and ratio is disturbed even further. Any kind of rational handling is far to be seen. Risk is denied, you are of opinion that the price can only go one way.

Euphoria (Fourth Phase)
The price of your share continues to rise, everyone at this time has decided to purchase some share as well. The trade in your stock slowly starts become less, and less. The profits start to become smaller and smaller. You believe the share in your stock will continue to rise and rise until it reaches the moon. However at this point everyone is slowly starting to join your stock. Even the small investor who doubted all the time is now on board. The big tough investors even expand their position.

Doubt (Fifth Phase)
The price starts to hitch. There's even a small downfall. But that doesn't fit in your view. Slowly you start to get doubts about your stock, and they start to become stronger and stronger. It hurts to openly admit that it isn't doing so good with your investment. You after all shouted out high how good you where with your decisions, didn't you? These painful thoughts reveal themselves even in physical pain, which you want to avoid. You walk away from your investment.

Disbelieve (Sixth Phase)
After the first doubts starts the process of disbelieve. Specially when your share starts to sink. It can't be true that you made the wrong decision? This phase of disbelief paralyzes the mind and ensures that drastic action is not taken. As an active trader, you should of intervened a long time ago.
Disbelief is associated with denial. Of course you made ??a wrong decision.'''The current downturn is only a brief dip, tomorrow goes better again''. At this stage, this is the familiar cries of despair.

Fear (Seventh Phase)
The prices start to sink even further, confronting you with your lack of action. Disbelief, denial and fear accompanied by a process of silence. You pull back silently in a corner, looking for straws that you can save. You understand that the balance between reason and emotion is completely gone. Emotion reigns with very remarkable results.

Panic and despair (Eighth Phase)
If you continue as the rainbow descends, you come to the realization that something is going wrong with your chosen investment. Even if you decide to sell, completely overcome by emotion, not realizing that it is a long time not going well, you have made a huge loss. You decide never to invest ever again.

Doubt and unbelief
You are confronted with your own emotions, your actually sitting as an investor in the daily rainbow.

15  Economy / Trading Discussion / WTB 2-3 coins on: April 08, 2013, 08:31:51 AM
Registered on Mtgox and BTC-E, went through fishy Russian websites to try and get my cash on Mtgox or BTC-E. Ended up with OKpay, who has been stuck with verification step 4 (the last step). It's been over a week, and I'm pissed! The price was around 100, now it's 172 and it won't stop climbing. I want to purchase some bitcoins, but the more it starts to climb and due to the speed, I start to believe that it's already too late and a big correction might be around the corner.

Ahh fuck it, contact me if your selling bitcoins. I'm not going to register on crappy e-currency websites. I can do ING internet wire transfer, or Paypal (which I don't advice, due to charge backs etc).
16  Other / Beginners & Help / Teamspeak ? on: April 02, 2013, 04:35:49 PM
Do we currently have a teamspeak, or IIRC server?

I tried searching for one, but couldn't find one.

I'm up for hosting a teamspeak server where people can chat and discuss things.

This is just an idea, tell me what you think.
