Hi,

I'm BM, a very nice and polite guy.

I created an experimental creative betting service.

Will I (the admin of below Telegram group) receive a minimum of 30 images of fish from 30 different Telegram accounts (sent into the below Telegram group, not as PM) on or before the 18th of July 2020 (Tokyo Time)?

If you want to bet YES then send ETH to this address:
0xaDA9eDB16C18463a07cC64bC32DA620728b9b2b2

If you want to bet NO then send ETH to this address:
0x5727f61d5F54C7b558E601557c42039969416946

The winners will share the losers funds proportionally. Later if this experiment is successful I will try to make more advanced algorithms for the business logic.

Telegram group is:

Good luck

Disclaimer: This is an experimental service. No guarantees about anything. Participate 100% on your own risk.

Tip me and I will tip others too. You can send any ERC-20 token to my ethereum address (Moons and Bricks have special rules, see below). I will try to use 70% of those tokens to tip other Ethereum addresses. Please note this is an experimental service and maybe I will not continue forever. But as of today 2020-05-14 the service is still valid.

IMPORTANT! Do not expect anything back, you can't be 100% sure that you are the one that will receive a random token in return.

IMPORTANT! You can send ANY token, it doesn't have to be a valuable token, ANY ERC-20 token is accepted.

ETH/ERC20 Tokens:

0x119c26cD0091E3094d7d539E1ED5FE805d474706

If you just want to support me you can also send Bitcoin here but Bitcoins will not be tipped to others as they are not compatible with ETH/ERC-20:

You can also send moons and bricks but I do not promise to tip a specific amount of those to others, like I do with any other ERC-20 token.

Disclaimer: This is an experimental service, it might not work, it might get abandoned at any time, just try it if you don't care if it doesn't work.

2. Nothing is stopping you from creating a random ERC-20 token, sending it to the contract and then receiving a random ERC-20 token back. That's the way it works.

Yes, in the end maybe you receive something valuable.

Look at publish0x. Even when people make only a miniscule amount of money from tips it still really invigorates and encourages the community.

Fun fact: I contacted Ivan, the owner of publish0x and suggested that they should allow anyone to distribute any tokens on their playform but he isn't ready for that yet. The thing is I think the first guys who do this correctly could benefit immensly from it.

(Ideally my idea should be implemented into a social media platform natively but it's far easier to just write a smart contract and promote it online than starting a whole new social media platform).

This will happen. Question is only who builds it first.

Yes, I would also be happy to have someone to exchange tokens with in an easy way.

1. By random I mean anyone can send any token in any amount, even if they have been recently minted and still are unlisted.

2. All tokens are accepted. Every single one.

In its basic form, anyone can send any token and you never know what you receive back. That is a good starting point because it's simple to implement and easy to understand. But after that it's also possible to make all kinds of variations and finetuning the parameters. I would just like to get something out there as quickly as possible and I estimate that it wouldn't take more than a few hours to write and deploy a contract like this, possibly a day or two.

No, you are slightly wrong. This is easy to develop into something tangible but it's true that the basic idea could be refined and altered in many ways afterwards.

Random Token Exchange. An idea.

Hi,

I'm BM, a very nice and polite guy.

I've had an idea for a long, long time about a service where people exchange random tokens with each other. This could be done with ERC-20 tokens.

So we should design a smart contract which does this:

1. User A sends any random token to the smart contract.
2. The contract hold on to the tokens.
3. When user B sends any random tokens to the smart contract then user A will receive those tokens.
4. When user C sends any random tokens to the smart contract then user B will receive those tokens.

And so on. Every user also have to send a little bit of ETH to the contract to cover the transaction fees when they receive tokens from the contract.

So where I was stuck for a long time was how to solve the liquidity problem and profitability problem.
I. e. all these new tokens would have very low liquidity and it is not always clear where profitability would come from.

But now with uniswap 2 they will solve exactly that problem.

So users can just exchange tokens merrily and then send all their new tokens to the liquidity pools. They never know which tokens will become profitable, it's a numbers game. But statistically some tokens will have trades and profits will be made.

Actually this is a huge, huge idea. I predict a) that a system like this will eventually create billions of dollars of value (equivalent, dollar is hopefully gone soon) and b) this is how the world's first real non-tax funded UBI will be created.

This is the most important and fundamental idea in crypto space right now and in the world of finance.

Who's with me? Who wants to start coding, networking and building this?

BM

Update: I have received more than the average amount of feedback on this post, which was also cross-posted on Reddit and some encouragement too so I think this idea is resonating with the community. Let's build it. Who wants to be a billionaire : )?

Update 2: In its basic form, anyone can send any token and you never know what you receive back. That is a good starting point because it's simple to implement and easy to understand. But after that it's also possible to make all kinds of variations and finetuning the parameters. I would just like to get something out there as quickly as possible and I estimate that it wouldn't take more than a few hours to write and deploy a contract like this, possibly a day or two.

I don't know. Maybe we can try sending tokens to each other. It's just an experiment.

I think the problem with BTC and ETH is you can't send a message to the address owners unless you use another platform.

Telegram TON was trying to solve that problem but then they got shot down by the evil SEC.

Anyway, if you want to run some tests and experiments you can post your address in that old subreddit. As I said it's just an experiment and no profit is guaranteed.

BM's Crypto Experiment (Non-profit, welcome to join)

READ THIS FIRST: These experiments are non-profit in the sense that you should just participate if you think it would be fun to try it. So there is no profit guaranteed. I always have ideas about what the crypto community could do but it's so complicated to distribute tokens so I will try to make some non-profit projects instead this time.

Hello,

I am happy to announce that my lifelong quest of learning to write fiction finally seems to have come to fruition. Had writer's block my whole life and always ran out of words when I most needed them.

Anyway so I figured out a way to free myself from the shackles of writer's block. So now I am simultaneously in a situation where I've lost a lot of money due to the market crash and I need to make some funds to support myself. I am hereby offering a storytelling and writing service. Negotiable fees. ETH and BTC addresses will be announced in the next few thread updates. Also accept tokens and other alts.

Please contact me if you need a story or writing services. I consider myself to be the greatest living writer in the world at the moment. Here's a sample.

Joey's Garage

Joey's Garage was where he used to repair old motorbikes. He didn't have a girlfriend at the moment so he spent all the time repairing old motorbikes. One day an alien landed outside his garage.
"Hi Earthling", the alien said. "I'm a really friendly species".
But Joey was hiding behind his coach and didn't understand a single word the alien said to him.
The alien sat down in the sofa and made itself comfortable. "Ah", it sighed in relief in the red sofa.
Joey came up from behind the coach. "What... Are you doing here?" he said.
The alien replied again but again Joey couldn't understand a single word.
"Oh sorry, I forgot to turn on the translator", the alien said and clicked a button. "Here, is that better"? it said.
"I... I can understand you", Joey said.
Joey's cat walked into the room, coming back from outside.
"Here, can I take a selfie with you?" the alien said, pulled out a selfie stick and turned around to take a selfie with Joey.
"So Earthling, I left my planet and I'm going to move into this neighbourhood", the alien said. "Capisce?"
Joey was dumbfounded. But he was a cool guy so he started to chillax after a while.
"Excuse me", the alien said and pulled a big chunk of wool out of his giant blue ears.
"What did you do that for? Why do you have wool in your ears", Joey said.
"Uhm, it's a trick I do sometimes, the alien said. I guess I kind of want attention. My name is Barnie by the way. Nice to meet you."
"Do you know any more tricks", Joey said.
"I can play the trumpet", Barnie said.
"I've come a long way", Barnie said again. "Do you have some snacks and soda?"
"Hang on, let me check in the fridge", Joey said.
"Uups, it's empty. Forgot to buy stuff while repairing the motorbike again."
"That old thing", Barnie said. "Would you mind if I put a small space engine on it? It will blast through space at 2 million miles per hour at least".
"Interesting", Joey said, cautiously. "Let me think about the consequences first".
"Say, this is a comfortable sofa the alien said", stretched out and soon fell asleep.
"Great, what do I do now", Joey thought.
He returned to the motorbike and continued repairing it.

OP Updated!

Yes, you seem to understand what I'm trying to do. I don't think this is against the YouTube ToS. For example there is a channel called "Asian Boss" and they have street interviewers who make videos in many different countries. Then you have "Omeleto" and "Dust" which both publish videos by a variety of directors. So something like that is what I'm thinking of. Feel free to add me as a buddy on Telegram.

OP updated.

Shared YouTube Channel

Hi,

I want to make a shared YouTube channel where we post content, comedy, crypto related info nuggets and so on.

I have been trying to learn how to do creative writing myself for a long time and I think hopefully I'm ready for an endeavour such as this now. I would probably do both some of the curation and post some of the original content myself.

If you want to submit a video to the channel you can send it to my Telegram @bmeetx

To ensure that you are sending only original content you should say this in the beginning of the video:

"Bitcoinmeetups rocks!"

Name of the channel and more details will be announced later. Open for suggestions on how to monetize, profit sharing, token issuance and so on.

Story of the week! NEW

This week featured video will be a story about three golden clowns from another planet. On their planet they live in symbiosis with hamsters so each clown has a hamster living inside its mouth. It's not a fake clown face either but a real one that cannot be removed. They also always sleep in cocoons.

This idea about fair distribution might be overthinking it. I remember something Adam Back said about Bitcoin a long time ago. He was trying to solve the problem of Bitcoin being deflationary for a long time, instead of being an early investor, which he regretted later.

This problem doesn't need fixing. As long as everybody gets something it doesn't matter if some people get a lot. Use open API's and open source all the backend codebase and let everyone try to exploit or fork the platform as much as they want. The important thing is that the users themselves can moderate the timelines instead of centralized admins doing it for them.

Do you know some better platform to post ideas like these?

Idea 1) No, this is how it would work (OP updated). It is a social media platform, users don't have to do anything except posting content if they want:

Users post content on their timeline as usual. There is a tip button and when another user clicks that button he or she can choose how many xyz tokens will be sent to the OP creator. The tipper can choose from many types of tokens and will also receive a part of the total transaction himself. The tipping pools will be funded by token issuers who want to have their tokens distributed.

Ok guys, the OP has been updated for today and I have answered most of the constructive replies.

Would be interested in feedback on idea number 1 if anyone is thinking the same way here.
