Sorry I haven't been checking in lately. I have been very busy chasing bug bounties (unsuccessfully) on the EOS  platform and now deeply involved observing the rollout of the main chain....I've been collaborating with a few of the BP delegate teams trying to be elected to host block producing nodes. I see some interesting cross chain potentials, very interesting! I am keeping it on the down-low for now but I will share my thoughts later when I see how things develop.

Anyway, I've been aggressively pursuing all potential value building opportunities while building up some social equity among other like minded collaborative networks and I am excited about what's now becoming possible. We are lucky to be a part of this phase in history. It's about connecting and building value for the community.

Actually, I lost all faith in cryptocurrency markets predominately controlled by the Russians. At first, I believed that the Russian developed projects were something special but I have come to realize that the culture in Russia is based highly on a Kleptocratic philosophy. They are thieves first and businessman second. I have not found an honest Russian project to date.

What makes us different here is that we are a value building community. What's unique about our situation is that we are coming into a new revolution of "contract" orientated programming (as opposed to "object" orientated programming - OOP) and possibilities are presenting themselves now that were not possible before the structuring of decentralized autonomous organizations. As we build out upon our contracts and manipulate content within our dapps, more complex and more rewarding possibilities will be realized. Small amounts of work from a large community base can achieve exponential results. This form of collaboration and creative innovation will be the future of commerce. Collaborating communities like the Loom Network (https://loomx.io/), like Aragon (https://aragon.one/), like Colony (https://colony.io/), and the MovementDAO will collectively play a leading role in shaping that future . This is exciting stuff and we are in exciting times! Connect, create, contribute....we are a part of something much larger than ourselves and this is just the beginning!

We're doing stuff that the others are not; we're building value while they're taking value. We have it right!

There is a lot more creating, collaborating, and connecting behind the scenes with this project than this thread reflects. I am super excited about a few of the things some of our members are working on independently. Too many people are worrying about an exchange -- I've said it before and I will say it again, "The value of this project will be realized within the community and it wont be found on an exchange." There's only 3 million MVT and when their value is substantiated, nobody will be putting them on an exchange anyway because they are a value CREATING asset....mark my words. This is a unique opportunity.

Something weird is happening with Telegram. I don't know if it has happened to anybody else but I was banned from participating in public channels and I cannot get the ban reviewed. I did not violate any of the rules (I am very careful about what I say in public) and I am sure that I was banned for conversations that I was having in private conversations concerning the validity of Russian ICO's. Beware of Telegram.

On I brighter note, my Solidity skills are advancing and I have several DApps in development on the testnet. I can't explain what I foresee, in words, but I see a future where the Ethereum contracts are going to interact in ways beyond our present collective imaginations. At this point, our Movement has an amazing advantage because the future of this space is going to be shaped by creative collaborations and **VALUE BUILDING** communities; that's what we've started here.

Here's a creative and fun DApp building tutorial that exemplifies the power of the smart contract platforms. The sky is the limit here and its bound only by creativity, motivation, and ambition. This is big - value is being redefined!  Free tutorial: https://cryptozombies.io/

Just checking in here. I am experimenting with some solidity contracts on the side while waiting for Decentraland to release the tools for the big build. I am also working with parallel AR/VR projects in anticipation for possible integrations into Greenpoint (top secret ideas on other related fronts developing quickly). The key concept here, in my mind, is that we are all part of a "value building" network and all of our efforts will combine to bring forth something none of us could have accomplished alone, right? I think that what we are about to create is even bigger than our imaginations will allow us to imagine. This is big! It's all about the community; the community is where the value lies, not the exchanges.

Are there any updates on the land distribution? When can we start building, trading, and developing the parcels in Greenpoint? Is there a community, or sphere, devoted to this part of the project? I am ready to start moving, so any direction would be motivating.

I have also invested in Cappasity (VR content on the blockchain) so I am anticipating some novel interactions between the contracts.

Who is the Greenpoint District Manager? Does anybody know?

I'm just checking into the thread. I am still here, still hodling, and still excited about the project. I have big ideas and just waiting for a few more things to fall into place.

Although I think that this project will eventually speak for itself, I have also retweeted. I am confident in this project because its value is intrinsically associated with the code and not artificially propped up by hype. This is the real thing; it's not one of those overly marketed unicorns, propagated by fake volumes, we find on the Coinmarketcap listings.

I am just checking in to the thread for updates and I see things or going slowly but surely. This long ICO period has a way of building anxiety but I guess a slow a well thought out plan will probably attract a more knowledgeable community. I think that a community based project, like Acorn, benefits by giving the community extra time to research and make informed decisions. I think it will produce a stronger collective.

Are the bounty hunters still waiting for their WSH stipends or have all the bounties been distributed already? And, is there an exchange where WSH tokens can be purchased or can they only be purchased on the Wish Finance website? When will be allowed to start using the platform?

It's been two weeks since my last request. Has this project been abandoned? There hasn't been any updates for a very long time. Can we get some thread support here please?

I just checked out the site and read the one pager. I like the concept. I will be digging deeper but if we can make this happen, I think there will be a huge market for the token at least. Why has the initial coin offering been set so far into the future though? Will there be any token left for the public when that day comes?

Has this article been referenced yet?

Targets like that are what set CommerceBlock near the head of the pack, relative to the competitors, in my opinion.

I've been looking at projects similar to CommerceBlock, scouting out the competition, and I think that this project has that one ingredient the other's are missing - a realistic game plan with an organically organized community. The other's are either privatizing there platforms into collusively organized networks or making grandiose claims about their capabilities. The way CommerceBlock tokenizes it's platform will intrinsically galvanize its network while the competitors are going to have problems securing theirs.


Merry Christmas all!

I just found this thread. I've been seeing the project promoted on my twitter feed but only now found the thread. Interesting project, I think that democratizing the way startups are funded is genius, especially if a knowledgeable community gets involved.

Well, I actually think that our conversation was intimidating some inside investors of other technologies. That's how this place works. Serious projects get censored, or fudded, while projects like "Jesuscoin" get free passes. They tried to kill darkcoin and litecoin and ethereum and monero, remember? This space is not what it appears to be; it's dog eat dog!

Hmmm. Just found the new thread; mprep is really over extending the interpretation of "No Give Aways" in this situation. Did he charge a fine to reopen the thread? The bounty program ended days ago so there really was no reason to flag the old thread and there wasn't the level of "shilling" that we normally see in other threads. I only recognized genuine project supporters. Anyway, moving forward, I guess the rules are meant to clean the forum of the chaos so we should appreciate the overwhelming diligence of our moderators, as long as they're not using the rules to extort "payments."

I am now able to log into the Decentraland auction so they must have fixed the bug. It still wont let me pick any parcels in the Greenpoint district so they must be randomly distributed. It looks like we'll have to put our heads together and figure out a fair way to choose our plots. I don't know.

Don't miss the CommerceBlock ICO!
There's only 18 hours left and unsold tokens will burned: https://www.commerceblock.com/
It's the only current ICO with a BIP published: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0175.mediawiki

They are quiet, but this is the real deal fellas!
