One question I have, is there any way that files that aren't often seeded will have a higher reward for seeding? Nothing more frustrating than trying to download something obscure on utorrent and finding there are no seeds.
The rewards will be based on file size. We may implement something like this down the line, however. When it comes to storage, will your architecture function similarly to that of Storj? Not exactly. Storj splits up files and stores them on a bunch of different hosts, allowing hosts to earn coins for renting out their storage space. With Upfiring, the files will be stored on the seeders devices, so your files aren't being distributed to the a bunch of different peers in the network - only downloaders. That is a very distinct difference, thanks for the clarification. |

How many people do you have working on Academycoin now?
|
|
|
|
|
Presale is only 2 weeks out, any projections?
|
|
|
|
As long as there is innovation in one of the two, I see no problems. I definitely believe your platform will be novel. |
|
|
|
Yes but when you catch a big one it'll feed you forever!
I'll agree with that lol. Best of luck! |
|
|
|
|
So the presale is just about over right? How did it go?
|
|
|
|
|
Is there anything unique about the token itself, or are you relying on your platform for that?
|
|
|
|
Will there be any sort of platform used, or does the technology just kinda work in the background?
It's mostly used under the hood of systems that users wouldn't ever see. Some commons uses are connecting banks together so you can send money peer-to-peer, or connecting brokerages and clearinghouses together so that when you trade stocks they end up in your account. Yeah, this makes sense. Thanks. DisLedger provides distributed ledger technology for the existing players in the financial system (the companies with $ billions of dollars). We're not trying to provide a niche application or Dapp, but rather to work with the companies that currently provide >99% of the financial transactions globally. Sounds so promising. Is there any sort of confirmation I can see that you have relationships with some of these finance companies? We're under NDAs with them so we can't go into details on what we've been working on. But we'll have proof of concepts that we'll be able to announce shortly. I understand. Any time frame on how long for the proof of concepts? A weeK? I wish it were a week! But realistically in dealing with large companies they move much slower, so we have to think in terms of months not weeks. I guess that's the disadvantage of running with the big dogs, they're much slower lol |

|
|
It will be a better project than Storj and sia. If they make a deal with two companies, they can come to nice places.
I already asked about partnerships... If there is any or if there are conversations in the way. But my questions keep getting lost in the topic. (Maybe I'm touching any sensitive spot  ) Yeah they must be pretty busy, haven't been getting answered either. |
|
|
|
Where is the video presentation of the application scenario?
That sounds interesting, I'd also like to see. |
|
|

How are the advisors getting compensated?
Those contractual arrangements would be private. Actually they're obvious lol, they're probably getting tokens. And their Tech group is writing our smart contracts. They're more involved than I would have initially expected then. Yes, the groups that understand how powerful DisLedger will be in finance have gotten really interested. So they usually want to engage deeply, and we appreciate partners like that! Those are the good kind. I've seen too many that act more as badges than actual advisors. |
|
|
|
Do you guys have any patents pending?
? Hmmmm... Never thought about that! Is there any cryptocurrency related patent issued? I've seen some using a sort of Proof of Creation to bypass patents. |

thank you !!
Will you also be doing signature campaigns? Nice and simple campaign, I like it. Makes it easier to set up, and the important part is easier to keep track. I see some pretty elaborate campaigns sometimes, and the guy running them just tends to get overwhelmed trying to keep track of it all. Sometimes even just giving up in my experience. Got messed over a couple times now because of it. |

I'm still studying this, but I'm curious to hear a few more opinions related to Hashgraph.
Nick Johnson from Ethereum said: Based on a quick skim, it's pretty interesting. The system seems well thought out, and at first glance, sound. The main issue I see is that the number of full nodes that can participate is limited: adding a new full node requires every full node to do more work, so it doesn't scale to large numbers of nodes. How much that matters depends on whether you could build a light-client type system around it.

Ethino | Funding Roadmap Changes
 www.ethino.comAfter our launching our ICO we have learned some very valuable lessons. We believed our impressive Alpha would be enough to excite investors. Unfortunately we were incorrect and our lack of a community following before proceeding with the ICO is negatively impacting our raised ETH. Also, due to legal reasons we could not reveal the team which hindered our ability to engage and build trust in Ethino the way we wanted to. We would like to thank our current investors for believing in our project based on the hundreds of hours of work we put Ethino including our awesome alpha. Feedback was great, and we plan to make the necessary changes to the Alpha as we inch closer to main net release. We are happy to say zero critical bugs were found so far during testing and a few minor visual issues need to be addressed. Ethino ICO ends October 30th 6pm UTC. Where do we go from here? We believe in Ethino and have come up with ways in which we can ensure we reach our funding goals. The project scale will be slightly reduced however we should still be able to accomplish everything set out in our white paper, although at a slower pace. 1. Reduce Market CapThe new Ethino market cap will be $1.5 million USD. Compared to our competitors this is very competitively priced. *October 16th Valuation based on Coin Marketcap. ( $124,320,000) https://funfair.io/ — The world’s fastest Ethereum casino platform. ( $42,964,195) https://edgeless.io/#!/index — Experience fully transparent and 0% edge gambling online. ($25,427,723) https://etheroll.com/ — Our Ethereum dice game is provably-fair, has a low 1% house edge and no sign-ups or deposits. ( $8,009,679) http://www.vslice.io/ — An Ethereum Gaming Platform Token ($7,619,913) https://dao.casino/ — Blockchain protocol for gambling https://ethbet.io/ — Ethbet is the first decentralized, peer-to-peer, and provably-fair Ethereum-based dicing game without a house edge. http://www.etherflip.co/ — A dice game with a twist 2. Airdrop Tokens for a $1 Million valuation of Ethino
How will this work? ***There is a one week period end of ICO for all investors to claim refunds.*** After this one week period all remaining investors will be air dropped Ethino tokens at a $1 Million USD valuation which is a 50% discount from our new total market cap of $1.5 million. (You will receive 50% more tokens) Example: Every investor will be air dropped about 2100 ENO tokens per ETH they invested. Excel Calculations: Only ENO holders at the end of our ICO and large private investors after ICO will receive the much lower $1 million USD valuation. Any future capital raised is at at $1.5 million USD valuation for Ethino. Ethino ENO holders will also have the ability to purchase more ENO tokens for the 1 million USD valuation in the future, before the 1.5 million USD cap is reached. 3. Open up Ethino to large private investing at $1 million USD valuation We will privately sell ENO tokens to private investors either through https://0xproject.com/portal or Etherdelta. Ethino can also except BTC, BCH and LTC through manual orders. Minimum investment amount is 5k USD. Anything smaller is done at a $1.5 million dollar valuation. 4. Rework Token IncentivesIn order to avoid a securities classification we will also be reworking the token incentives. We initially planned to have our token ENO as a dividend paying token. After careful consideration Ethino will be paying back ENO token holders with ETH as if it were debt. After each quarter, Ethino will buyback our tokens with 95% of the profits earned. These tokens will be burned. This will create an ever increasing price for ENO tokens and a way for token holders to cash out. It would be a buy wall that appears every 3 months on various exchanges. 5. Reach out to exchanges for listingWe have already been listed on Etherdelta and will be using funds raised to list on other major exchanges. Ethino has also been approached by Radar Relay for listing and will also seek out listing at Liqui, hitbtc, binance, bittrex and more. The reworking of our token incentive should allow us to list at and exchange. 6. Token WarsEthino plans to raise funds using the first ever token distribution through our Ethino War game! We call this new token distribution method, Token Wars. After the traditional crowd fund period of Ethino, we will be using Token Wars to raise any remaining amount of ENO tokens up to a market cap of 1.5 million USD. Through our Token Wars smart contract, we allow Ether wagers to be placed to win our ENO tokens. Any loses will result in much fewer ENO tokens still given out. Either way ENO tokens are given out to the player as this is our ICO model and is strictly considered fundraising. Further details will be announced closer to Token Wars launch date.

How it works Traditional affiliate network is a type of performance marketing that aims to reward affiliates for acquiring clients by using their own marketing networks. Affiliate network includes 4 types of participants: Merchant, Affiliate Network that deals with data flow and payouts, Affiliate, and Customer. Merchant uses the affiliate network to add offers. Offers specify a certain type of data (lead) Merchant is willing to pay for (lead cost). Affiliate launches and maintains their own marketing network that may include websites, call centers, outdoor advertising, and other methods to acquire customers. By using marketing schemes, Affiliate obtains a piece of customer data (lead) that fits the offer and adds it to the affiliate network. Affiliate can do that directly or by using a tracker service that creates a lead in the required format and adds it to the affiliate network. For the most part, the lead is sent to Merchant, while meta-information with lead, offer and affiliate data is added to the affiliate network. If the lead is encrypted, Merchant only receives it upon approval by the network. If Merchant approves the lead (or doesn’t decline it within a certain timeout), the lead cost is charged from the Merchant’s account. After the network charges a commission, Affiliate receives the remaining amount (price). If Merchant declines the lead, it is sent back to Affiliate. Affiliate can sell the lead to any interested party or put it up for auction. Using the core concept of an affiliate network, HOQU aims to enhance transparency and integrity of transactions between its participants through applying Blockchain technology for core logic and payments. Plus, HOQU creates opportunities not only for merchants and affiliates, but also affiliate networks. An affiliate network can add its available offers to HOQU to manage leads with more transparency. HOQU affiliates will be able to see offers added by the affiliate network and engage with them immediately. Let’s take a look at the core smart contract functionalities available to all participants. - All payments are made in HOQU tokens (HQX). By requesting buyToken method, any participant can buy HQX with a certain amount of ETH. Total amount of HQX credited to the participant’s account is determined by the rate
- To join as Affiliate, you just need to have an Ethereum address to request smart contract methods and receive payouts in HQX. Affiliate can either work directly via platform, or use tracker services. Affiliate networks can also join as HOQU Affiliate to act as a broker for its affiliates.
- To join as Merchant, you need to request allowance method and set a budget. By doing so, you give HOQU smart contract a permission to write off the cost of the lead from your account if you decide to buy it. Unless such a permission is given, the account owner is the only one who can manage HQX tokens. Affiliate networks can also join as HOQU Merchant to act as a broker for their merchants.
- To join as Affiliate Network, you need to add network information to HoQu platform by requesting addNetwork method. You need to submit the network identifier (to link together all offers within the network), network name, and url with network information.
- To add an offer, Merchant needs to request addOffer method and provide the offer identifier; affiliate network identifier (if the offer added is a part of affiliate network); offer name; and url with offer information. Affiliates (or affiliate networks) must refer to the information under this url to create offers in the required format and send them to merchant by using the method convenient to the merchant. For most offers, HoQu will provide special tracker services to collect, create, and deliver leads on a certain offer and add offer metadata to the platform.
- To add a lead to the system, Affiliate needs to request addLead method and submit the lead identifier; offer identifier; url аddress with the lead (if Affiliate delivers the lead to Merchant by themselves, URL field remains empty); password to get access to lead data; and lead metadata in the form of a string. Metadata format is determined by Merchant and may contain any information Merchant may need to approve the lead.
- Once the lead is added, the owner of the respective offer will receive an event. After checking lead metadata, the owner of the offer can approve the lead by requesting approveLead method and giving the lead identifier. If the owner of the offer fails to decline the lead within a set timeout, smart contract requests approveLead automatically and performs the following actions:
- lead cost in HQX is charged from the address of the winning offer owner
- lead cost in HQX (minus 0.5% commission) is credited to the address of the lead owner
- offer owner is provided with a password to access the lead data. - If, after checking lead metadata, the offer owner refuses to approve it, they need to request declineLead method and submit the lead identifier. The lead status will be updated, and the lead owner will receive a decline event. If the lead was added by a tracker service, Affiliate will get access to the lead data to dispose of the lead as they deem appropriate.
We understand that using Ethereum wallets and requesting smart contract methods require certain technical skills and resources from system participants. To HOQU participants who don’t want to create their technical solutions by using our SDK, we’re offering an easy to use web app (desktop and mobile version). Its server side implements the logic described above and requests smart contracts by using service API. All transactions will be conducted through blockchain (but through our API), allowing to maintain transparency and decentralization. Participants will simply need to register a HOQU account, make a deposit in any suitable currency, and start using the system. All smart contract methods are provided for information only. The final implementation will surely be different from the logic described above and may be distributed between several contracts. Examples of the above-mentioned contracts, HQX token contract, and ICO contracts are available on GitHubAwesome graphic! Affiliate marketing has been so sleazy for so long, this is exactly the kind of thing the industry needs to clean it up. |
