101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] CellBlocks - Creating an Economy for Inmates in the Prison System on: February 20, 2018, 04:54:44 PM
We have sent out a few letters to prisons and got letters back saying they were interested in the idea.  We posted them on the site. We we're also asked to do a presentation to the State dept. 

How much interest from prisons has CellBlocks received? It seems like a really interesting idea to me, but adoption is key. Are prisons seeming open to this idea?

I am pleased to see that your team is reaching out and actively getting the word out. It is also good that you are getting responses. That speaks volumes. I think this will go a long way in the adoption of Cellblocks.

Does your team have a Github available to the public yet? If so, can I get a link?

It's $0.10 per token in the original offering.

Alright thanks for this information, do you have an idea what the total maximum supply of XTRD tokens created for this ICO?

Good question as I had the same one when I first learned about this project. From the whitepaper (page 32):

"Instead of generating a sum of XTRD tokens in a pool prior to the TGE, XTRADE will generate tokens only as funds arrive."

I think it was a great decision to add in-wallet exchanges to Blockmarket. I think it will improve the experience of users. I'm happy to see you chose Changelly and Flyp.me because both of them have really good qualities. The simplicity of Flyp.me has always amazed me and Changelly rates are great. Are you guys planning to add other exchanges later?

How well is marketing going for XTRADE? Have you guys started working that yet or will that be a future priority?

I'm assuming they don't have a platform out yet. Maybe once they do they could transition from focusing on building to focusing on marketing it. This could be incredibly useful, so if they can get it in front of enough eyes adoption is sure to happen.

I think you're right. I can't wait for there to be a single point of access for institutions and even regular users. There are too many exchanges right now and it's a huge hassle. I think XTRADE will solve this and I'm ready to see it happen. I think once the actual platform is out, people will love it and not want to look back.

I am in agreement with you. I'm pretty excited about seeing XTRADE in action. I'd love to be a part of public testing when/if that becomes an option.

I think this has been asked before, but I didn't see an answer. Are there any regulatory risks for this project?
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: StreamR DATA - IoT - Unstoppable Data for Unstoppable Apps on: February 18, 2018, 04:40:20 PM
Out of curiosity, if you are an investor, what made you decide to invest in StreamR DATA? Obviously it's very unique, but I'm curious what helped you make up your mind.

As an investor, I think the team's goals are practical. I think data is valuable, especially real-time data. I also think the data will provide so much knowledge and lead to improvements in our lifetime. I also see that they have a working product which is lacking in a lot of projects. Overall, it seems very promising and I cannot see how they would fail.

What do you think the most practical application for StreamR will be? Do they have a list of potential real life applications for the project?

You can go read the whitepaper and see on page 7-8 that there are some example applications which I have listed below:

     ● A stock market generates a new event every time there is a new bid or offer, and every time a trade takes place.
     ● A public transport vehicle broadcasts its identity, status, speed, acceleration, geolocation, and heading every few seconds.
     ● A motion detector transmits a signal when a moving object is detected in its range.
     ● IIoT sensors attached to an electrical drive measure the temperature, speed, and vibrations during the drive operation in a smart factory.
     ● Air quality sensors measure carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone levels in an urban area.
     ● Seismometers measure ground motion in an area with volcanic activity.
     ● Smart clothing worn by professional athletes collects biometric data such as the heartbeat, temperature, and acceleration.

It is good to note that data is changing every day with new IoT devices being introduced so, as technology evolves so will the data. We will find even more practical uses.

Thanks, mate. Those are pretty interesting and vastly different use cases. That goes to show how well StreamR can generalize. That means it will likely be easily adaptable for the future. Very good to know. I read somewhere that people were recommending they have a contest for interesting use cases. I'd be interested to see what ideas the community could come up with.

I'm pretty sure there will be another land sale at some point. A number of lands weren't taken in the first sale, and if they don't do another one there will be large empty spaces -- I don't think anyone wants that.

I assume they will eventually open up a new land sale/auction to distribute the remaining lands, but I haven't heard anything about when that will be.

Meanwhile land trading is happening now in the Decentraland chat's #land_trading channel. I've also seen people running personal land auctions on Reddit. At the moment, prices are high for those, so you might do better to wait for the next official sale.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know about the private auctions in the land trading channel. I will definitely be checking that out.

One thing I'm curious about is the illegal goods. How do you keep illegal goods off of Blockmarket without a large team actively combating it?


Impossible to do & not required. Different countries have different laws, something that is defined as "illegal goods" in one country can be completely legal in another, & vice versa. Blockmarket is global & the webz does not recognize borders, so the laws of any particular country cannot be applied throughout. If something on the Blockmarket is illegal in your country, don't buy it. Unless you want to of course.

If every law from every country was applied there would be nothing to buy or sell because it would all be "illegal goods".

I think you are absolutely correct. I would say the best way to handle it would be to leave it up to the discretion of the user. At which point it would likely make the user legally responsible for what they choose to do. I'm curious if this would cause any regulatory issues?

Is there any progress yet on the investigation of distribution 2?

Nope, no word yet from what I can gather. They are still investigating the issue. I'm sure that's their entire focus right now. Hopefully they will be around soon to inform us of progress on the investigation. If anyone is on their Telegram, do you have more information?

They are actively trying to resolve the issue. On Reddit yesterday, Adam said:

"Hi all. Last weekend there was a bug in the backend of our website, specifically the part that triggers the contract to distribute the tokens to the weekly participants. What went wrong is the scheduler triggered the actual distribution before anyone had a chance to claim, so it just started sending out tokens randomly to last weeks participants before we had a chance to stop it (it started at 4am local time).

This is twice as bad considering the errors we had in the first week and the fact we made everyone wait for week 2. We apologise for the lack of comms and can promise that we are working twice as hard now to both figure out a way to rebalance the distribution and get our technical house in order."

Does Xtrade already have a platform available for public use? I'd love to try it out if so.

That's a great question. If they have an early version for public testing, that would be really interesting. Anyone know?

Where is the best place to keep up with the development of Stars Group? I'm always interested in seeing details about what the devs are up to.  Grin

We give all updates on our company, progress, etc. on our telegram group. That is the best way to find this information -- plus you can talk to the team in real time! Here is the link to our group: https://t.me/joinchat/GUfSEkialWNbp9ASQtIXkA

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I'll be joining Telegram and following your group.

Nice job on the success of the presale and I am also glad to see the crowdsale is also going well. I read that there is a bounty, is this true? What are the details?

How did the pre-sale go? Also, how long will the public sale last?
115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: StreamR DATA - IoT - Unstoppable Data for Unstoppable Apps on: February 16, 2018, 05:22:06 PM
I've been following StreamR for a bit and I think it seems like a project going in a promising direction. With that said, can someone give me some examples of good, practical use-cases for StreamR?
116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MANA]Decentraland Tokenized VIrtual Reality with Open Standards on: February 16, 2018, 05:16:40 PM
Those are really great questions and if you find answers, I would be very interested to know them. I am not 100% sure right now, but I think users can set it up to where you can charge people to enter / rent your land and pay for services. I think it's up to the users. I also think you are completely correct in that Decentraland will become huge. I am looking forward to the community growing so we can build a really amazing world together Cheesy

Yes, the whole idea of Decentraland is to let people upload 3d models and scripts for their Land and share that with visitors to the world. In the first (minimum viable product) version, it will probably just be non-interactive 3d models, like architecture, landscapes and so on that you can walk through. They already have a simple command line interface tool to let land owners start messing around with content.

The next versions will support scripting of behaviors (they have suggested TypeScript, a type-safe extension of Javascript, as the scripting language). At that point things like teleportation, limited access, and avatars will be added in.


That sounds really promising and just like what I had in mind about Decentraland. I'm looking forward to the future updates as well.
Do you know if there will be another land sale?

I just read an article today on business reporter about Syscoin being labeled as "Bitcoin's smarter, cheaper, little brother." I have always felt this way and I'm glad more people are starting to recognize how clearly awesome syscoin is and how much of a contender it is. Word is getting out and I am excited for the future Smiley Congrats, guys!

Thanks for mentioning that article!

For those who have not yet read this Business Reporter Article, here it is:

Syscoin is bitcoin’s smarter, cheaper little brother

No problem! It made my day to see it so I had to mention it!   Cheesy

Does BitBlissCoin have a list of public partners available? If so, who is your biggest partnership to date? I know it's still early on, but I am curious.

Yes we have a list of partners, which participated in the first investors private sale.
At the moment they are private. We don't have any public ones at the moment
but we have contacted some which we'd like to keep under the wraps
until the partnerships are formed.

Thank you
The BitBlissCoin Team

Thanks for the reply. That's really exciting that you guys have a lot of partners. Congrats! I can see the benefit in wanting to keep that under wraps.

How is the progress of the Hicky pre-sale? I know there is only a couple of days left. Then the main sale starts. What is the benefit of buying in now rather than waiting until the main sale on the 14th?

Pre-Sale ends tomorrow (February, 14th 2018 11:00:00 UTC). Main Sale starts right after.
If you buy in the Pre Sale you'll get at least 5% up to 30% (depends on how much you invest).

I hope that answers your question Smiley

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'm glad I got in early. Was the pre-sale successful?
