It is not an ICO.If we want it to become an ICO we would hype like hell, invest 50k and get it done as an ICO.But those 50k has to be brought back in and would of course create asymmetry.We don't want to lock or unlock tokens or play the usual cat and mouse game.The Token is for forming an Investment Mass.The decision where to invest will be made by the community through proposals.This is not investing in some promises
made by a CEO and a blown up team, which costs by the way tens of thousand's a month, money which can well go to the entire community.This is getting the Bull by its horns and create something in a new way.The chance of success is very high this way.The chance of loosing any amount is very ,very low.I know it is unusual but imho it is the fairest way and the best use of conduct, when offering a Project.The Tokens are unlocked there is no reason to lock them or manipulate in any way.Only the formation period is a little bumpy.The contributors addresses have to be kept clean, funds have to be kept safe.But these are no hurdles.This Project is not a "get Rich fast"Project, it is a "retire Wealthy"Project.
BTW.we do not exclude an IEO, but it will be conducted only if the community votes one, and consensus has been reached on which exchange the IEO will take place.IEO's are expensive and Pump and Dumps might happen.This is not in the Projects interest.
And now i will ask you this: how do you think the Cryptomarket will ever get healthy when the facts indicate this:
39 Bitcoin addresses own 11.1%
154 Ethereum addresses own 40%
105 Bitcoin Cash addresses own 28%
128 Litecoin addresses own 47%
104 Bitcoin SV addresses own 25%
39 Cardano addresses own 40%
140 Tether addresses own 58%

Whenever they want they can manipulate up or down or sideways.Small investors stand no chance.So our Project is for the small investor mainly who wants to have something to say when it comes to his investment.

Let's not play games of semantics. ICO/ITO/IPO/TGE/IEO/IDO/ETO ... all means the same thing - an exchange of financially valuable commodities/goods for similarly valued. And you're just as guilty as the CEOs and other parties you're trying to apportion blame to - this whole venture is just another promise to solve something without deliverying the solution first and build value around it. This is further highlighted by your "how do you think the Cryptomarket will ever get healthy..." argument. Your project is for "small investors" but you have no way of vetting or defining "small". The mysterious "they" that you claim are manipulating the market at a whim could just as well have a field day with this one too - after all, there's a price for everything.

Warning: Those few sentences of Dex Protocol Network project explanation  in their  Ann are copied from 2 other projects, TecraCoin and Tezos. They couldn't even make that by themselves so i doubt that they will be capable of making anything out of this. Looks like a quick and lazy money grab attempt to unload  their worthless tokens on others. You can find more info in the link below
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5220940.0

Damn, not enough time to make popcorn for the eventual shitshow. Thanks for reining them in though before someone got tangled. Despite apparent red flags, some folks are still fond of thinking they've got better "odds"

Hi,

It seems that the WhitePaper link in your website is not working. Also, are there any information about the current team members of the project?

Never a good sign in my books especially when the claim is a bold one intent on overhauling the status quo.

Also since it acts like "real money", we're talking a relatively stable medium of exchange compared to other assets out there. A stable stablecoin is how this comes across to me.
44  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] 🔥 Dex Protocol Network * DEX * Official Company - ERC20 on: January 26, 2020, 08:07:40 PM
How is an ERC20 token capable of "privacy?". Unless I'm getting the meaning/intended context all wrong here. Privacy in crypto has always been synonymous with anonymity - or at least shielded from prying eyes. Meanwhile, can see all the tx and holder address for your token on etherscan...

Can answer that for you in two words: Don't bother.

No team info,  but that's not the only flag here. Look at this claim off their website  "Underlying processing speed: data processing capacity of up to 15000 TPS, per second, with the help of shredding technology, able to attain more than a million TPS for commercial system applications throughout the industry."

Pay attention to the words "up to" - means it's possible but real-world utility may start at 2TPS. However, that's not as glaring as "shredding technology"... don't get me started on the WP
I did notice that word from the website, the reason why I am asking it because I found the information about their project on Yahoo and other media. I believe Yahoo will not create an article based on random bs right?
It not a new project, it has been here for a few months based on their social media.

Yes, Yahoo will not create a fake article - that is when they create the article. This is a paid publication. It was written by someone else and possibly submitted via a third-party syndicate. It opens with "NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 10, 2020 /" that means Accesswire wrote and published it. Yahoo is just republishing. The link at the bottom of the writeup confirms it. If it was written by Yahoo, they'd have the writer's name, not the PR company
46  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Genesis Ecology Ann Thread: Web Decentralized on: January 24, 2020, 10:27:25 PM
Is it real you can perform 15.000 TPS or is it just another potential target that you think you can achieve?
Any concrete data to prove it?

So many things just doesn't add up.
While it's true that they may have been "excited" to have announced and published the whole thing, it made no sense that the CEO, CTO, and other product heads decided to sit out having their profile slots taken by a bunch of advisors, marketeers, and community managers. Really, community managers over project leads. Might as well shove in the janitor too.
Now that the founders' profiles, I can see reason why it's rather be in the dark. MLM, anybody?
Then, you have the raised amount. Angel investors. oK. Is it possible to know them and the rate they acquired the crypto?

Thanks for your interest and questions.
I tried to remember projects that disclosed information about angel investors' rate I don't remember any. Do you?
However if Burstex team can answer this - we'll hear the answer

You're kidding right? Who hasn't heard of Multicoin Capital? Lemniscape VC? Fenbushi? NGC? Drapper? And they all have the startups they invested in on their site. Yes, you're asking if I remember startups that listed their investors, but I'd rather point you to the angels first so you can go see it publicly documented and then go to the site of the startups and see if they didn't disclose. Most recent rate disclosure I can remember was by Kava stating the rates for all 3 private sales. Hbar too disclosed their rates even when it was zero. Literally

Getting fraud charges is a bad thing for your project, and you should fix it if you can. I see you have several partnerships, can you prove to us that they really support your project? I would like to see an official announcement from each of your partnerships.\
Most probably its all for a show to sugar coat their project with sweet promises for their investors. None of them are aware that their logo is being used by unknown entity.

it's likely like that, but let's wait for how the Pyrrhos Gold team responds to this, if they can't prove it then the project is in trouble and deserves to be considered a scam project. it's been a week they haven't replied to the community questions here.


Evidence was presented that they went by another identity to front a previous project and are now courting fresh IDs. People just don't flip their entire identities from one project to the other. Nobody can tell which is real or if ever a real one existed in the first place. However, knowing that none of the public profile has any background in the industry they are claiming to be raising funds for, while copypasting and presenting another project's ideas as their wholesale, you don't need the weatherman for this one.

Would have loved having more concrete ETA for the 2020 goals f.e. Q2 for swap and such. But I completely understand the nuances of working with tech that has "immutability" as its second name. Slow and steady wins this race

Agreed. I would like to know detailed roadmap and plans too: tokens swap, fully working mainnet etc. What about "start partner integration"? Who are this partners and when this integration will starts?

According to some admin at telegram, they made a mistake by giving deadlines about partners and giving deadlines overall, and they are avoiding to to do them anymore.

They don't need to put partnerships on roadmap. As a matter of fact, I detest having partnerships on roadmap due to force majeure. There's no way you can be absolutely certain that nothing will go south - either by design or natural disaster. All I'm looking for is just development projections
50  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][IEO] Multichain Ventures Tokes [TKS] | Staking Ecosystem Token on: January 22, 2020, 04:01:41 PM


weren't tokes created longtime ago which this is the thread back 2016 but why is it being for sale this 2020 on exchanges like ProBit, P2Pb2b and LAToken?

is the Multichain Ventures Tokes (TKS) Token different from the TKS of tokesplatform?  i'm not getting any of it. it feels hazy when a non top performing project of 2016 comes back to once again seek investors for the new project.

take a look at the medium for MV, it's got all the info there: https://medium.com/multichainventures

The new token will replace the legacy token but won't require any effort from legacy TKS holders. There's a snapshot and a swap coming up Feb 18th, after the IEO. That is the original ANN for Tokes Platform, since then Multichain Ventures has been created and Tokes is now a product under the parent company. This is all good news and allows the team to raise more funds for continued development, strategic partnerships etc.

its hard to believe there are good news though. there were no activity to that project anymore because 6 months ago there were no volume anymore to this TKS project after getting delisted on bittrex. after a long absense, teams who had been silent for a long time during the bear market would be sketchy in posing a come back just when the market looks ready again.





Now, it's suddenly coming back to me. Tokes. Waves-based token that seemed to be giving Potcoin and some other cannabis crypto a run for their money back in 2017. Thought they were finally going to be the project to show the rest how it's done.

Then, they vanished.

Now coming back under a quasi-rebrand seemingly with prefixes to throw the community scent off. Either way you slice it, the lack of transparency and accountability here is not encouraging

When is there going to be utility for the token? Been holding BBC for quite a while now and would really love to put the tokens into real-world rather than swinging the speculative. Think it's about time BBC use cases start rolling out.

Your post has a link to the site, saying presale starts February 15th, 2020. However, once you actually go to the site, the "Pre-sale Signup" button doesn't even work. Above the button it states "Time's up", below it saying "Raised $2,258,500". What's the deal? Did the presale already happen or what?

Whitepaper button links to nothing as well.

They still have a lot of things to fix here. They should have made this as Pre-Ann and not ANN. At least people are not expecting too much. Also, please explain about the figure $2258500? Is that for real or are you in the process of editing your page?

So many things just doesn't add up.

Please remove registered ® symbol and lock this topic.
There is nothing original or registered or smart in this 'coming soon' shitcoin.
Don't waste everyone times, and better do something useful for a change.


In this project, we will work real, not the work of words.

notblox is right, why use the ® symbol after Digital Currency? You don't even have the website yet? Don't mislead users for something you don't have yet. It equates to deceiving or cheating those naive users who don't read the project and ask about its authenticity.
You are very right.

We did it deliberately early even before our website was available.

Our goal is to make the name Bitcoin Smart known and known to the public early.

And regarding the symbol®, is our serious statement in building this project.

® is the indicator of your seriousness in building this project... ROFL!
So what happens when you add TM™ and SM℠ Symbol? Galactic takeover intention?
SMH
There's absolutely no justification for having this shitcoin existing.
Scratch that. There is.
Just another vapourware. So as something gets listed. Gameover

Well, I have warned Pixby's CEO about p2pb2b but he didn't want to listen. He even stopped reading my messages in telegram. And here's the result.

Unfortunately, good advice is usually not heard.



Like my good friend would say "Enthusiasm is a poor substitute for professionalism". The heydays of 2016/2017 are gone and that madness is unlikely to return. You either solicit for all the facts, prepare not to cut any corners, and plan for the slow and steady grind for the top, or just simply get rekt.

I see Waves joining into your partnership, do you use Blockchain Waves?

Yes, we are a Waves based asset.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't provide any clarity. Issuing an asset on a blockchain doesn't automatically translate as a partnership. You're only using the tech. Same way coding in C++ doesn't make Microsoft your partner. Would appreciate full disclosure the sort of partnership(s) you have with the providers listed in your documentation

There's been so many freelancer/gig economy platform already - Canya, hirematch, ethlancer, blocklancer, hiway, canlead, gigtrick. Most are barely functional, majority have turned out to be vaporware. So, what makes yours any different?


------------------------------------------------------
checked the team list. 6 members where 2 are community managers, 2 are marketing, 1 is the CEO and the other is John Q. Nice movie

Hello, Bowtiesarecool! You are right, there are plenty of platforms that didn't succeed in mass adoption. They failed because they didn't focus on functionality of their platforms, and creators barely understood the problems with existing freelance economy. 

PIXBY team took an in-depth review of the freelance industry and found the fundamental problems which are exit scams, high transaction fees, and not to mention the UI because most of crypto-asset based freelance marketplaces are terrible and not user friendly at all.

At PIXBY we have found solutions for all of the mentioned problems. For instance, escrow payments will allow buyers to safely transact assets to seller without having to worry about not receiving the job, and another bonus of utilizing Blockchain technologies are Ethereum Dapps that will allow us to make royalty programs and reward based on users activities.

As time goes, we will present the best crypto-asset based freelance marketplace the world has to offer.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks for the response, but still doesn't address any of my concern. Proof is in the pudding they say and talk is cheap. At the very least, do show us a concept of your UI and what makes it different from others - assuming you don't have an MVP. Speaking of MVP, your basically treading the same path most of the others did without one. The only difference is they had the benefit of engaging a community that was not yet jaded by overpromising and underdelivering. Now that most freelancers are now wary of "yet another freelancer platform", it's going to take more than words to woo anybody over


Would love to bring this back up now that the "enthusiasm" has eroded and cold, hard reality has set in. Unless the market goes extremely bullish to quadruple whatever they raised - if not more, this is the end of the line for yet another freelance on the blockchain pipedream. I'm not one to gloat or even take any pleasure from startup failing to  translate their lofty ambitions into grounded utility, however, it's time some form of sanity starts getting restored into this industry and all these "mr. me too" knockoffs get back to the drawingboard for some shred of originality.
Ofc, we could wake up to BTC @ $100k tomorrow for another go at the merry go round
Hello, dear friend, Bowtiesarecool! Our enthusiasm and desire to adopt something new in the crypto world did not disappear anywhere! I admit there are similar platforms in crypto space, but to my knowledge we are different. Your statement about "another freelance in blockchain pipedream" doesn't make any sense for me...Each project is unique, and the worst thing to do is comparing one with another... Because we are not responsible for other people who fail.  To make the long story short, please study our project because we have implemented a staking protocol, built a new Dapp and revamped the project in general. This is just a beginning...

Not to be antagonistic, but those who don't know that history are bound to repeat it. Staking protocol, building a new dApp... lemme go on a limb and add that you guys will be adding governance features too, right? That makes this novel when another freelance on blockchain project, Canya, has implemented same? Forgive me if I don't see the difference here or anything new again.

Will be checking back in a few months to pick up from where we left off. Likely to become an interesting case study for those looking to retread same path

Aside from that, their Co-Founder linkedin profile has only 7 connections without photo? Something shady here. Just fresh account created for this project? Does he have any other profile aside from linkedin?



In my Linkedin Profile, there is a photo of myself!
And i have more contacts on other platforms and in the real business world!
But I will now ask my contacts if they have a linkedin profile and can add me Wink

https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-markus/

You can also find a photo of me on the website - https://backed-by-gold.com/member/tim-markus/

best regards,
Tim

Your contacts and pictures are simply what that they are - yours. There's nobody to attest to or disprove the veracity of the identity provided. And while getting your irl business contact to add you on linkedin sounds like a "positive" narrative, adding folks on linkedin/buying adds is one lucrative industry that most of us are aware of. The fact that none of the team background points to anything gold prior to this offering just throws more shades on the whole affair. And don't get me started on someone creating a telegram channel and asking people to post their input/comments/suggestions there. You can't post on channels, only in group. Topnotch marketing department there

About the white paper:
Since we are a small company that is just starting out with your project, we of course do not have such a well-developed white paper!
But that will follow in the course of time and we will keep updating it, I promise.
And yes, to our shame we copied something from other projects that do similar things.
But I don't think that's so bad.
~snip~

Having an small team is not a reason to copy someone else work. If you dont have the team or the capacity to write your own original content then why people should invest in your project.

This is the reason why most DT users tag the company as a scam. Iam afraid once your project has been tag as a scam them its will forever mark as a scam in this forum.

If you are confident with your copy paste project then push through with it and only time will tell if your project can be survive.

I don't think the problem is with having a small team as you've rightfully pointed out, the problem is there was never an original thought to base any content on in the first place or even be bothered with researching the existing. Just another rushed attempt at a cash grab.

If a WP = Blueprint, then there's no reason to dick around with the thing that will be used to build YOUR product - not another person's product.

Also, "not a scam" tends to be the famous last words of every scam outted

Basically, this looks to be yet another DEX fork - it's the only explanation for this feature "You own and control your wallet and private keys" that I can come with - supported by "No single point of failure". Maybe a hybrid DEX. Regardless, there's no grounds for touting "algorithmic trading" as a feature, maybe the "professional" part was self-aware.
On to the biggest grip - high liquidity. For all assets listed or selected ones? And where's the liquidity resources coming from, inhouse MM or?
