Clearly semux is awesome.  New BFT consensus algorithm with transaction finality, smart contracts coming soon, 5000 txs per block throughput, Completely new code-base not a clone of any other cryptocurrency.  Semux is going to be huge.   stocks.exchange, well, it's just an exchange.  Some people like it, some people don't.

Dev says the new version of the wallet is coming soon, and the exchanges are working on a normal plan, and we should be comfortable waiting for all this to happen.

Just in this morning, my wallet gave the message that it should be upgraded right now. And I found that the new version here: https://github.com/semuxproject/semux/releases

Today the crypto currencies market is red, not the good time to list for SEM coin.

Awesome new release-- great work by the devs! We are on the exchange -- this is a great step forward.  Looking forward to smart contract support.

also, look at the pricing, and how many coins there are. also, although these 2,880 every day is one thing - the money for these goes guess where...yep, the metronome team. talk about a license to print money and devalue the existing one at the same time.

Incorrect.

The money goes -- guess where -- to a smart contract that is not accessible by the Metronome team.

That is why we call it an "un-ICO."   No private sale + 100% of the money raised goes back to the Metronome community over time.


You've got our attention with the idea of an un-ICO, but does it really pass the Howey test?

Let' see.. for the SEC to class what you're doing as a security you need to fail the Howey test.  In order to fail, the SEC uses the 4 questions below.  If the answer to all 4 is "Yes", then you're issuing a security.

So let's give it a try..

1. It is an investment of money

Yes

2. There is an expectation of profits from the investment

Yes

3. The investment of money is in a common enterprise

Case law has seen this mean effectively anything, so Yes.

4. Any profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third party

Though the money goes into a smart contract, that smart contract was written, supported and promoted by you and/or the Metronome team.  This whole "un-ICO" is promoted by you guys, not the investor, so this seems to be clear and resounding Yes.

Therefore it seems that Metronome fails the Howey test and will be classed as a security.  Sucks how regulation stomps out innovation...

We're big supported of the Metronome idea and we admire your bravery in the face of unclear regulation, but we're very concerned the SEC will class Metronome as a security and it will be sidelined, languished by regulation, with exchanges unable to list it.

Could you please share with us how you think this will be OK regulation-wise?  If we understand your analysis of the regulation situation, then we could get more comfortable with investing.

While we can’t get into details of legal opinions in a public forum, we have hired knowledgeable, external legal counsel to guide us every step of the way.

The initial supply auction is purchasing a working cryptocurrency via autonomous public auction, not an investment, a utility token, or token representative of anything else.

Please see Appendix A of the Owner's Manual.

And who exactly are you?  Not convinced.

Tezos or EOS?  I choose Tezos - it will evolve like no other blockchain.

What are the benefits of this coin over others, like Storj, Smrt coin?

BTW: is there a market yet for SiaFunds?

Bisq but i haven't used. JW did you ever get those 3 BTC or that SF back in November? I was searching here lol and found that.

Sadly no  Sad and Bisq doesn't have any volume.

I'm fully committed to this project as being big like NEM or Dash.  Watch this space.
Semux is the only new project that will be able to enter the TOP 100 in the near future.  I'm willing to wait as long as it takes.

I think you mean top 10

92  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Metronome, an autonomous cryptocurrency with predictable supply on: May 17, 2018, 11:20:20 AM
Metronome initial supply auction date set!

Save the date:  June 18, 2018 at midnight UTC



Just curious, how have the legals of this auction have been structured?

We read in the media all this fuss about ICO's being illegal security offerings and exchanges not listing coins that are considered securities.  My question seems a particularly relevant question for any would-be investor.
93  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][BITLATTICE] A Revolutionary Step - Bitlattice.org on: May 17, 2018, 11:16:00 AM
Are we launched yet?  Any way I can help?

95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ICO] [WGR] | Wagerr | The Betting Blockchain | Bounties on: May 17, 2018, 11:05:29 AM
Really love this project -- will be a top cryptocurrency of 2018.  Wagerr is a technology whose spirit is true in the disruption of the existing broken system and a better future through innovation and no bullshit. Can see this easily at $30 in next wave.

What technology are you speaking of? The waves token or the pivx clone?  The Wagerr team hasn't created anything yet other than some pretty graphics.

The technology I'm referring to is obviously the decentralized oracle node sports betting network.

It's fine to doubt, if that's what you believe, and it would be good (for me also) to lower the price.  But we continue to bet on Wagerr-- the proposed design is very good and I'm confident they will deliver.

Devs: can you comment on when Oracle nodes will be launched?

It's actually working.  Very actively developed by ex MIT / Cambridge MA area developers.  This project gets regular updates and has already made several deals with more traditional cloud storage projects to start using Sia as a backend.  Overall looks very promising.

BTW: is there a market yet for SiaFunds?
97  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] DERO FIRST SSL BLOCKCHAIN: CryptoNote Privacy + Smart Contracts on: May 17, 2018, 10:44:21 AM
This is an innovative coin. I like where this is going.  Accumulate and hold.

Really nice to see the recent progress with Elastic.

Really great progress https://xeline.org/  !  Shocked Shocked Shocked

Semux is no longer on the stock exchange, and the project is getting colder, which is not conducive to the long-term development of coins.

semux may be slow, which seems it is; but it will not be cold any time soon. surely project has potentials but seems there is a small team (or solo) working background whom really need some marketing helps

they (he/she) will come up with a new ANN once a while and shows that project is still moving forward, slowly but really steady
its too soon to be disappointed on this project, give it another shot and you wont face loss for sure

I really don't get how anyone can say semux devs are slow.

While half the projects out there are clones of existing source code with no new consensus algorithm, here we have Semux which is 100% completely new code with a completely new consensus algorithm.

I don't think you really understand how much more work that is and in how little time they pulled it off.  My view is that the Semux devs are a magnitude of clips faster than most other devs-- and their code is above average in terms of stability.

Looking forward to https://stocks.exchange listing soon.

I'm fully committed to this project as being big like NEM or Dash.  Watch this space.
