We created a TG group for users to talk about task, how to complete them as fast as possible, which tasks are not interesting time/reward ratio, etc.
It's pretty new, we're 4 friends just started it for fun, join in if you are using the app. I get ICO investors are sad because theyre bagholders now, but that happened on the whole market.
On the other hand, apps works perfectly, support is great. Always room for improvement; dissapearing task, automation of referral and reward system, but its a work in progress. I've done 70 USDT in STORM in 2 weeks so I recommended the app to friends and I'm at 7 referrals now.

Hey guys,

I'm looking into tokenization of physical asset at the moment, and I was exploring the NFT topic.
While I was reading about how they are mostly used into games for p2p usage, I thought about something interesting.
Then what would be the limitations possibles to my idea.

So here goes;
if an NFT tokens reflecting an image in a virtual environment (game software),
would it be possible to have a readable only text document sort of a pdf into an NFT?
or least a digitalized photographed copy of a document reflected in a virtual environment (reading software) to view-only desired image embedded in the NFT?

Indeed and daily I try to school people of X or Y new scam or hacking or phising techniques. Surprisingly, obviously not, I've never been hacked and/or scammed, which is pretty rare nowadays. End of life parenthesis.
Only reason I assumed it would've been geguine and well conceived was because it was CB you know, yet to my "not so" big surprise it just turned out to be the same manipulative bait clicking MLM corporate scheme that CB uses which saddens me being one of the must used option for crypto buyers. Never used. Never will. End of story for me.

P.S. Support just closed my support ticket with an automated message, didn't respond, didn't give an explanation for closing of ticket, amateur hour at it's finest 

That's not the issue here, it's for starter "misleading advertisement information" and on top of that, it is insanely buggy, DAI task is straight up not working plus so far I've done 4 invites and received sweet F all so my point is that for newcomers, it is straight up a bad first experience overall. Which amazes me knowing how much money Coinbase generates and the education level of employees there.

Hey guys,

I've been doing the Coinbase Earn program to test it out and either recommend it or tell the truth to people around me about it.
Well the results are in,

Starts with "Earn up to 130 USD worth" well to start 80 dollar of that are referrals so let that be clear straight away that you can EARN only 50 USD worth from watching videos and doing tasks.
I'm at 36$ worth now and stuck with the opening a CDP on DAI task for 14$ worth of DAI because the option "Connect to Coinbase" in the mobile wallet in settings section is SIMPLY NOT THERE.
I tried looking for ressources all over, not much help there. Sent a support ticket, still waiting. Asked friends, says seems weird and they did the program a while ago seamlessly.

So here's the catch:

50 dollars worth given to you, but

You have to invite 4 people to EOS and XLM with the link provided, which I tried, one to XLM and one to EOS done, even accepted a friend link for the XLM one when I joined for the program (Didn't have a coinbase account yet and did the KYC, submitted passport successfully) to unlock the full 80 dollars, in 10$ increments for invite links accepted.

YET nothing showed in my account nor in my friend account.

So far, Coinbase Earn program is very dissatisfying, when you think that someone whose new to crypto first impression is MLM mentality, "in order to get your money get people on board" kind of statement and also the DAI task to complete that is simply NOT FUNCTIONING is scary when you think that Coinbase is one of the biggest exchange in the world and it definitely gives an impression of amateurism to newcomers, then you just remembered that you gave them your KYC documents copies and...

facepalm momentum happens.

Hello Olemis! I think we are already discussing on the facebook page.
Will definitely do. I am looking into creating a non for-profit organization in Canada to promote blockchain knowledge in Cuba.
Still in research phase. I've been maybe 2 years time total in the last 6 years in Cuba for long term vacations, have many friends there, got to say I love your country. Been in crypto since February 2017.
Keep in touch. Going to sleep now, 2am in Bangkok 

ARTICLE CAME OUT TODAY!
https://bitcoinnews.com/cubas-new-wi-fi-regulations-could-open-doors-for-bitcoin/

https://beincrypto.com/cuba-private-wifi-access-bitcoin/
https://beincrypto.com/will-cubans-turn-to-bitcoin-amid-tanking-economy-and-food-shortages/

Again these metrics are incorrect as of now, last time I was there, May to June 2018 for a month, WIFI at home price was at 150 CUC (1 CUC (convertible peso) = 1 USD)) which is still very expension.
Also, for mobile usage, there a few options, ETECSA provides 1h internet access card for 1.5 CUC or 5h for 5 CUC or 10h 8 CUC. But users still need to go to hotspots, most in Havana or at different places around the country most in parcs or town public places.
Also yes, average state wage is 30 CUC a month, but back there for someone to live correctly you need about 200 CUC /month so everyone has a different hustle.
Exemple: The teenagers/young adults is the wifi parcs sells the internet cards for x2 the price so you don't have to go to ETECSA and do the line. I met a orthopedist specialized doctor who was doing bicycle taxi at night. People repair phones/electronics. Some sells burned CD's or direct USB  to computer or phone, pirated music/series/movies. The people driving taxi's are pretty upper middle class. Anyone working for tips in the tourist industry are pretty comfortable. For example, which is ridiculous, after high school, to enter university, it requires better grades to be hotel manager than to enter medical school. Etc.

Hence why OTC is still legit and will always be the better option, never link CC or banks to your crypto holdings.
BTC as always been a p2p solution. One should never link the system they are trying to avoid with the solution system we embrace.

I am not from Cuba but I have been living there on and off about 2 years in the last 6 years.
The articles you are reading from the 2018 isn't true. Internet hotspots been there since I thought 2016 but 2015. Home WIFI which is very expensive to Cuban people has been allowed since late 2017 early 2018 to my recollection.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/cuba-starts-offering-home-internet-service-but-few-are-buying

I was gonna say 2016 but it's actually 2015. "The island started opening up to cyberspace in the summer of 2015, when the Cuban government opened 240 public Wi-Fi spots in parks and on street corners."

But yeah the government until a couple years ago, prefered to keep the people in ignorance of what was going on around the world restricting internet access to many many people for knowledge control, which is deeply sad. I have many friends, Cuban and expats, over there. The people situation is getting better year by year, private enterprises are allowed (restaurants, cafe, various businesses) as well as the stygmate of homosexuality is pretty much done since Raul Castro daughter is openly lesbian, it opened to them. People have deeds of their lands now compared to 10 years ago, etc.
Real problem is the US embargo which creates financial instability since day 1. Also what is going on in Venezuela isn't helping at all as Cuba was relying on that oil for a long time.

Let's look briefly at firstblood.io source of funding, as stated on https://www.crunchbase.com/search/funding_rounds/field/organizations/funding_total/firstblood firstblood.io recieved 6.1 millions USD through it's private sale (VC funding round, stated on crunchbase, but I think it was a private sale, correct me if I'm wrong) and 5.5 millions USD through it's ICO. That's 11.6 millions USD total, as you can see on https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/firstblood/#charts, as of now the market cap of circulating supply (some concerned have been raised by a reddior about the actual amount, as it was stated by 1ST team that the tokens kept by the company wouldn't be released until the dApp would be fully released and mass adopted; here is the link to the reddit post; https://www.reddit.com/r/FirstBloodio/comments/7zx149/founder_lockup_transparency/) is 25,113,948 USD, so still above ICO price in term of USD raised, but in term of BTC and ETH, which was raised during the ICO, which EVALUATED MUCH (ETH was around 13 USD, now is 855 USD; BTC was around 600 USD, now is 9660 USD) since the 26th of September, so from historical data from coinmarketcap.com on 28th of september 2016, the 1ST token was worth 0.00025112 BTC and is now worth 0.00003 BTC and went below followed by the Bittrex delisting message on the Bittrex website which is the biggest exchange trading 1ST tokens in term of volume.

Let's take it from there, how did we learn about the 1ST delisting? Through a message directly from Bittrex. No pre-announcement by the team, absolutely no notes or announcements on either the website, discord channel, twitter account, or the dev team blog. Also note, no post or announcements after the delisting from bittrex, members (I am guessing other concerned investors) have tried to reach through the different platform mentioned above to try and talk to the team to wonder what is going on. My feel on firstblood is that so far, it is SOLELY focusing on it's gamer community and absolutely not on it's investors. Great lack of communication concerning financial aspect of the firstblood ecosystem. A dire example of this lack of concern for it's investors, is that the only place where you can basically, talk to the team about concerns, developments, etc. is on their discord channel, and it is strictly forbidden to talk or discuss 1ST token price of any financial aspects, which is in my opinion ridiculous.

We all remember the massive firstblood pump and dump of this summer from June 13th to July 10th, the graph on CMC speaks for itself, when firstblood was paired 1ST/CNY which were subsequently closed due to the china exchange ban. So here is my REAL CONCERN;

Firstblood.io knowing that the chinese government would eventually close its exchange in an undisclosed near future because of Mr. Zhou, who, I think must know finances, being managing partner of a crypto hedge fund; https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/newblock-capital and founder of https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/alt-options-llc and stay on top the news, and even private news from exclusive members group, let 1ST main volume go through from 1ST/CNY and on the chinese exchange ban news all chinese whales that pumped the price hard for a month dumped hard in a very coincidental timely fashion with Mr. Zhou travels in China. Raking in thousands of BTC from investors, volume being 71.8 mln is USD daily volume on the hardest day of the pump, BTC being around 2.2k USD. This is pure extrapolation and hypothesis. But market and price manipulation is very very common in the cryptocurrencies ecosystem. And with the NOTORIOUS Firstblood.io radio silence over anything NOT related to gaming tournaments, additional features to the platform or various partnerships. It is really REALLY concerning. I do not think I am the only concerned investor here. We will await an explanation.

Update:

SCAM project do not invest. If anyone living in the US would get them investigated by SEC let me know.

Don't worry I know about the stance of the Cuban government towards "huma" in general but I'm thinking of a non for-profit organization with an educational mission. Having both Cuban and expats friends there I think it would be 1. doable 2. non-threatening to authority, for them to leave us alone.

Waiting on response from @HAVBlockchain and @BitcoinCuba (Twitter) for more accurate on-site information

I'm trying to get in contact with @HAVBlockchain (founders of the Havana Blockchain Center) https://www.bitcobie.com/entrevista-havana-blockchain-center/ and @BitcoinCuba on twitter right now see if they can provide more informations.

The article stating that they started having access to internet in December 2018 is false. They are able to have "in-house" internet as of 2017 if they can afford it "very expensive" and they were able to access internet wifi points since 2016 using Etecsa internet cards which sells for 1.5 CUC for 1h.

Most likely the government will not indeed. But as of now, from what I'm reading it is unregulated as they are ignoring it because it is too tiny.

I agree on your point about the government, I have many friends living there and have witnessed some of the most absurd situation.
I believe the first step toward any kind of cryptocurrency movement in Cuba would be education about the technology which would, in my opinion, be highly doable.

+1

With help from other Cuban expats in western countries and a system which I'm brainstorming about, crypto not being "illegal" officially, most likely only ignored.
There is HUGE potential there.
And on a note, I am in contact with a couple young adults that just graduated from Havana university in different major, most of them not being technology, A LOT knows about Bitcoin and Ethereum mostly, other cryptos rest ignored.

That's highly untrue. I've been going to Cuba for the last 6 years and they've had internet access since 2016. It is scarce and you need to go to wifi access point in order to do so.
But many people in IT and engineers know about cryptocurrencies in Cuba.
If the government have no stance on it, then it is not "illegal". Knowing the right people a project could be set up there.
I'm looking into something that could be major for the Cuban people and would partially free them from their "double currency" system.
Anyone would have official statements or so please post.

Dear community,

Would anyone have informations, press releases or official statements from Cuba (Government or newspaper or experts) on the status of legality of our beloved ecosystem on the island?

Feel free to post links even if in spanish.
Any links to Cuban crypto communities also.

Any types of informations regarding Cuban communities and/or legal status (regulated, unregulated or banned)

Thank you

Anyone here can give me development on Filecoin? Been looking all over. 2 months old videos on Youtube. Haven't check slack.... yet. Where is the community at?

1ST core members, and I award; Joe Zhou, Marco Cuesta and Dan Temkin, finests scam artists since 2016.
oh and they removed George Popescu as Advisor, knowing all the shady shits he's been in.

When will these guys end up in jail? That's the real question.
