I do not think that tether can somehow affect bitcoin, it is not powerful enough for this. In addition, btc is the largest coin on the market and I doubt that anything at all can greatly affect it.

Not that I'm a fan of Tether, but in recent years I have heard so many rumours on it, and it still works. It seemed to me it was mostly FUD. Huh
It is, the media and not only they falsely accuse Tether in many ways. A recent case with ny ag only proves their innocence and honesty.

A number of shady activities? You mean the rumors that the media kept talking about, bribed by their competitors?
It's not a rumor that they kept changing their terms and conditions, downgrading what they claimed Tether was backed up with. It's also not a rumor anymore that there is currently a $850 million shortfall in Tether's reserves - that is a fact accepted even by Tether themselves.

If these were all rumors being paid for by their competitors, then why would Tether repeatedly refuse to allow an independent audit. They could have settle the entire thing overnight. The reason they didn't is because they never had the funds they claimed to have, which they have finally admitted.
I still don't believe it. Me and my friends have never had any problems with tether. And often all the attacks of the media in the end turned out to be rumors.

This is really bad news... Binance should have invested more in security

The tether controversy and  allegations were unproven.
Unproven maybe, but very strongly implied, and Tether have done nothing to try to prove the claims incorrect.

There have been a number of shady activities which strongly suggest that Tether do not have the USD backing that they claim. They released a very vaguely worded letter from an unknown bank residing in a tax haven saying they have a "portfolio cash value" equal to USDT. Portfolio cash value means any asset when sold for cash. They also quietly dropped the 1 USDT = 1 USD statement from their terms and conditions, and replaced it with a similarly vague statement about being backed up by a variety of assets. They could print 100 million USDT from thin air, use it to buy bitcoin, and then claim the USDT is fully backed up.

They could quite simply submit to a full audit any time they like (or at any point over the last 18 months since these allegations started), and the whole thing would immediately be done with. The only reason they have for continuing to refuse an audit is if they have something to hide.

A number of shady activities? You mean the rumors that the media kept talking about, bribed by their competitors?

I believe in Binance, their exchange has earned an excellent reputation over the years and has become one of the largest in the world. Besides, decentralization is the future.

All traders know that Tether is much better than many other stablecoins, even now when it became known that it is backed by USD by 76% ( in this I see only advantages). USDT has become more transparent for everyone. USDC should follow suit. I don't think they're clean.

We would like to let you know that Market.space ICO start is postponed to April 16, 2018 for technical reasons.

Although we regret about the delay, the reason behind it is sheerly inspiring.

We'll be accepting Sia and Storj tokens and need three more weeks to adjust our system

Siacoin and STORJ will be exchanged for MASP at their current price all through the ICO period,  April 16 - May 27.

Why? We'd love those who are already into decentralized storage to discover the new facets of it.

Ready to break the mould? Then join Market.space ICO to reinvent the data storage market




Well, don't want to sound stupid, but what are "Siacoin and STORJ "?

By the way guys, where are you going to do the ICO?

Hi Everyone.

On March 15-16Market.Space took part in Tokenfest  in San Francisco

Vadim Zubkov, responsible for marketing, and Yury Vasilyev, the project's adviser, presented Market.space.

After a successful pitch session, team members answered questions from investors. Vadim Zubkov discussed the essential issues with Michael Finch, one of the founders of IcoAlert. After the conference, we're flying to a new event  - Coinagenda which will be held in Puerto Rico. Stay tuned.




Yes, it was a cool conference. Wish i was there too

Admin, can you PM me regarding a business offer?

Been LoMoStar user for a few months. Wanna discuss and share with you interesting news about it. Let the community grow.

Ever heard about LoMoStar - please fill in the poll and discuss it.

It's an ANN thread. Do you present the project or just a user? I'm a bit confused.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [pre ICO] Market.space - Decentralized Host Aggregator on: March 06, 2018, 11:13:02 AM
Ok, I'll bite. My first thoughts was "Another file storage system?" There are so many of them with similar use cases and actually none of them has a working model yet. But it seems, this takes storage with a different spin.

Looking forward to learn more.

Thank you for your opinion!
Just to resume, here are the flaws of our competitors that Market.space will bypass:
- Traditional cloud storages (OneDrive, Amazon, Google etc) are not averse to data scanning which means they neglect users privacy. They are also pretty expensive and don’t leave much choice imposing fixed packages.
- Decentralized blockchain-based systems are secure compared to cloud storages, but they fail in reliability. Consumer devices cannot be accessible 24/7; they are also susceptible to corruption. This means that no one grants you instant and round-the-clock data access, and your data intactness. That’s why Market.space focuses on professional hosts. The credibility of the hosts and thus responsible storage is guaranteed by the insurance deposits hosts are to make. They are also incentivized by the metrics-based rate system.


So to simplify the explanation. Market.space is a decentralized United Nations of file hosting - where Rapidgator, BlueHost, InMotion Hosting, A Hosting, LiquidWeb, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc all become part of one giant host; where profit is determined by a rate system.

Interesting indeed. I look forward as to how you plan to assemble a minimum threshold of professional hosts that will join.


Do you really think giants like Dropbox and OneDrive will join? They're kind of competitors, right?

It's just an example. The hosting providers that will most likely join are the ones that have a year or two of operations and are willing to try out new markets in order to maximize profit. The big names won't budge because they already have a lead or larger market share.

Generally true, I believe. Large players don't care two hoots. But no one's saying that this project is cut out for them

Guys living in Africe, I wonder whether crypto really solves the problems. I mean, if you wanna buy something tangible, like some food or clothes, but there're problems, does crypto work?
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [pre ICO] Market.space - Decentralized Host Aggregator on: February 21, 2018, 02:11:36 PM
Oh, finally someone figured out that all these storages built on 'anyone-can-keep-my-files' are such a fail. I know a little bit about professional hosting, u know... so keep it up, we'll see what you can do... but I loved the Filecoin idea, such a pity they've screwed it up

You guys have even a patented technology. That's a solid base. It promises to be one of the most transparent TGEs. Looking forward

I see yearly emission is fixed. Will you somehow control your coin devaluation if the demand won't make up for it?

You've got bright future, I think. Amazing team, meaningful and justified project
