Yes, the next could be that they'll take a deeper look into exchanges with a focus on money-laundering. That is what many fear, also because it might be possible that exchanges would have to halt trading again. It's of course very speculative but that's the rumor.

A good Twitter-Account btw (most likely the source of the tweet you've seen), when it's about Bitcoin in China and all the recent trouble, is this one:

Nice, let me know how it works for you! Feedback is always good!

Pricewise, the situation is much better now because Bitcoin doesn't hype and is likely not to do so any time soon (because of all the china-trouble). So, there should be room for a nice uptrend that is likely to intensify once the team pushes something out - Announcement or whatever.

Right, Poloniex and Lykke are somehow in competition to each other, but what I really like in the Crypto-Space: While there is huge competition in a lot of fields, it's also possible and often the case that competing companies connect in some ways and find a win-win-situation. Chronobank and Lykke might be a good example.

It's very possible that LKK will be listed on Poloniex and maybe also Kraken in future. It's on the Roadmap. Not sure when it will be and if there are already contacts, but we'll see.

Das kann ich sehr leicht beantworten: Die Plattform funktioniert und ist schon für die Öffentlichkeit bestimmt. Man kann schon einige Fiat-Währungen und Crypto betreffend Bitcoin, LKK-shares und Solarcoin kaufen bzw. verakaufen, auch Euro-Überweisungen sind schon möglich.

Momentan läuft allerdings noch alles über die Wallet-Trading-App (IOS & Android - findet man auf der Seite: https://www.lykke.com). Web-Terminal ist aber schon in Entwicklung und Desktop-App ist offenbar auch in Planung.

Insgesamt werden relativ schnell einige neue Funktionen hinzukommen (Margin-Trading vermutlich innerhalb von Tagen oder wenigen Wochen - wird schon getestet).


 

 

@KKopf: Ohne Dich wäre dieser Thread echt langweilig! Also danke! ;-)

Werde heute gegen Abend alle bisherigen Fragen an Richard Olsen mailen!

You have the private key from the ICO. Wherever you import your PK your ANS will show up - if the software works.

Bisher gab es nicht besonders viele direkte Fragen an Richard Olsen, aber weil im vorherigen Thread-Verlaufn ein paar gab bei denen ich selbst nicht ganz sicher war, plane ich ihm morgen schon mal bisherige Fragen zu schicken. Falls noch jemand Fragen hat - umso besser. Gibt aber eh keinen Zeitdruck, da es ja kein "Ablaufdatum" gibt.

Zwischen den Zeilen steht übrigens "seid nicht so schüchtern!" ;-)

Pretty much everything what people might miss currently will come in the coming weeks and months, including web-based-terminal and it's also on the table to get LKK on other exchanges.

And yes, Chronobank will be helpful for the user-growth, but Lykke will also offer a lot of other exciting assets in future.

Lykke is the exchange. ;-) If you want to use Lykke and/or buy into LKK you just need to download the Trading-App:

Lykke is not yet regulated in those countries, but of course they are included in the plans for 2017.


 

Interesting article about Davos (Richard Olsen was there).

Lykke is not mentioned directly, but what is said in that article is in fact about innovations like Lykke:


Lloyds: Low Interest Rates & Fintech are the Most Important Trends that Will Shape Banking Over the Next 10 years

Ich sehe das fast komplett umgekehrt. Es bleibt natürlich alles sehr im spekulativen Bereich, aber was seit Beginn an offensichtlich war, oder zumindest sehr schnell deutlich wurde: Totaler Fokus des Teams auf dem ICO. Sie hatten kein Whitepaper und sie waren nicht sehr gewillt ihr Projekt in die Tiefe zu erklären und Fragen zu beantworten. Irgendwann im Juli hatte ich mit E.P. dann sogar ziemlich Zoff, denn er zitierte mich absichtlich falsch. Ich halte ihm zugute, dass ich sehr kritisch war und irgendwann auch auf Angriff weil er m.A.n. ein echt falsches Spiel trieb, aber worauf ich hinaus will ist: Aufrichtige Akteure kommen nicht in solche Situationen und haben diese manipulativen Moves nicht nötig. Damals sagte ich zu ihm das er Druck bekommen wird, von jenen die investiert sind, und er herausfinden wird das ich nicht rate. Das war eine sichere Vorhersage. Denn es war offensichtlich das verdammt wenig bis nichts durchdacht war und der Eindruck ist ja nicht nur geblieben, sondern es ist mittlerweile offensichtlich.

Abgesehen davon gibts m.A.n. ein echt ernstes Problem das sie entweder nicht auf dem Schirm haben oder nicht darüber sprechen oder ich müsste mich irren - letzteres ist natürlich möglich, aber sie haben auf meine Posts nicht geantwortet:

Es gibt doch gar keinen Grund mehr Heat-Token zu halten. Sie wollen in einer nächsten Finanzierungs-Runde Shares verkaufen und geben 50% Discount wenn man sie mit Heat-Token erwirbt. Das Resultat wird dann sein, dass jeder der Heat-token hält, ihnen seine token schickt um shares zu bekommen. Und selbst wenn sie neue Investoren finden sollten, was ziemlich unwahrscheinlich ist wenn man den Status Quo bedenkt, würden auch die solange über Heat-Token investieren bis es sich nicht mehr rechnet (bis kein Discount mehr da ist).

Das heißt: Am Ende sitzt das Team auf Heat-token und hat Shares ausgegeben. Gerade weil dann jeder weiß: Oh je, das Team hat um die 90% des total-supply und muss verkaufen um finanziert zu sein wird der Kurs in den Keller gehen falls überhaupt Buy-support da sein wird. Das bedeutet gleichzeitig: Der Preis der Shares kann dann nicht anders als ebenfalls fallen - immerhin ist der Preis der Shares zum Preis der Token connected.

Plus: Wer das auf dem Schirm hat kann unmöglich in Heat investieren, wenn man die momentane Situation und die gebrochenen Versprechen dazu nimmt wird es noch unmöglicher. Sie kriegen gar keine oder zumindest kaum neue Investoren.

Unterm Strich steht das Projekt damit vor dem Ende. Meiner Ansicht nach ist Heat sehr sehr nahe an einem Scam. Und selbst wenn es kein strategischer Betrug ist, also sie das Projekt eigentlich durchziehen wollten, haben sie es auf extrem irreführende Art gestartet und auch so weiterbetrieben. Am Ende geht es dann aber nicht mal für sie selbst auf. Sie kriegen die Kohle aus dem ersten ICO - und der Rest ist ne Art Zaubertrick der nach hinten losgeht, auch für sie selbst.

I wouldn't say that there are no infos. They just don't repeat what they've already said and since they are on slack, they say it there - while important things are usually also quoted in here.

In my opinion the M2-situation was and is this:

They've started to roll out M2 and that was obviously not totally without problems. But it's a big release. Even the biggest billion-software-companies usually need a lot of updates after a software-release (I never download the first IOS-version, or the new OS for Mac, for example). So, it took some time and maybe it will take some more time until all is totally fluent. But the fact that exchanges are working now is a safe indicator that it's close to say: M2 implementation is finished - Factom is on another level from now on.

And that is what I expect. That they'll publish an announcement and release software updates for the wallet.

Just as a reminder for those who don't know what M2 is about, how big the release is and how meaningful:


Factom Federation is the second major release of the core Factom software. It includes several protocol changes and a networking change that gives us the ability to further upgrade the following:

Eight Federated Servers - Increased censorship resistance and globally distributed.

Eight Auditing Servers - 8 new auditing servers supporting the network.

Confirmations In Seconds Instead of Minutes - 600X improvement

More Transactions Per Second - 5X improvement.

Merkle Proofs More Accessible - Proof of Existence made easy with the factomd API.

Distributed Peer to Peer Network - Resistant to denial of service type attacks.

Graphic Control Panel For Nodes - Easily see the activities of the Factom network.

BIP 44 Wallet Support - Factoids can now be integrated into a wider range of wallets.

Robust Testing Infrastructure - New public test net and suite of testing tools.

Support For Multiple Blockchains - Bitcoin and Ethereum network.

Factom Federation is a significant upgrade from Factom Genesis. We will be rolling out Factom Federation and migrating our users, clients, and customers over the next few weeks.

- See more at: https://www.factom.com/blog/factom-federation-release#sthash.Dt9Y2Uq3.dpuf


And just btw: They've said themselves that it will be rolled out over the next few weeks. So the time they needed wasn't unexpected.

M3 = Milestone 3. It's the release of the election protocol, what basically means that the federated servers and audit servers (64 in summary) will be controlled by those who are elected to run them. Factom will be totally decentralized. As far as I understand it, it will be a rotating system.

 

The chances for a rising price are good in my opinion. Reasons:

1) Factom was always very good for surprises on the business-front, that they announce new partnerships and so on.
2) Now that M2 is implemented it's likely to see increasing demand. I believe that most of all EC-demand until now, including existing partnerships, was because of tests.
3) Exodus will implement Factoids in February

And about the market:

1) Zero inflation until M3 but decreasing total supply - compared with other tokens it's a huge pro
2) Compared to some other projects and measured on Factoms potential, the marketcap is very low - currently $26,785,200.


All together: Very high potential

Deposits and Withdrawals are enabled now on Polo. And github shows a lot of activity for factomd and enterprise-wallet:
https://github.com/FactomProject

I believe the chances are good that the issues are solved and that there will be an updated version soon.

Theoretically Lykke could issue new shares as Coins. But somebody asked a similar question on telgram (if there will be inflation) and Sergey replied that there is no plan to issue new shares - so "inflation" will be zero. 


No. LKK' are issued as colored coins on the Bitcoin-Blockchain. This gives a good explanation/overview:

"The term "Colored Coins" loosely describes a class of methods for representing and managing real world assets on top of the Bitcoin Blockchain.

While originally designed to be a currency, Bitcoin's scripting language allows to store small amounts of metadata on the blockchain, which can be used to represent asset manipulation instructions. For example, we can encode in a Bitcoin transaction that 100 units of a new asset were issued and are now credited to a given bitcoin address. A colored coins wallet can create a Bitcoin transaction that encodes sending 50 units of an asset from one address to a new address, and so on.

(...)"
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Colored_Coins

Or this site: http://coloredcoins.org

So, there won't be any kind of "mining" or "staking". But once Lykke will be profitable and company and shareholders should decide not to reinvest profit, Lykke will pay dividends to it's shareholders.


Like said above: Theoretically it would be possible that Lykke would issue new shares like companies do it from time to time. But there is no plan for that, so the number of LKK will neither decrease nor increase.


Since Lykke doesn't run on an own blockchain, but is build on top of the Bitcoin-blockchain and LKK are issued as colored coins (like all assets that are and will be listed on Lykke as exchange will be represented as colored coins) it's not needed. The Bitcoin-Blockchain is secured by the miners.

Thanks! I'll post it in the slack!
