BATA BTA ◈ OLD THREAD - NOW @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2297895.0

[pc888]

Yeah you sure are getting it out there. 

Livecoin.net is coming too - will have to wait a few weeks for that.

On the 20th of this month BTA will finally be a verified market on Bittrex ( we had to wait 3 months of trading since listing to show as verified - Bittrex already has my verification and so does 1EX)

Thanks for your support.

BTA is on Poloniex's list, but I would not expect it to happen in the near future due to BTA having a low market cap and low volume in the eyes of Poloniex - its up to the powers to be or community demand.

Here's something to discuss & your input would be appreciated - this will be added to OP - the next step for BTA.


The barter system is an old method of exchange which has been used for centuries and long before money was invented. People exchanged services and goods for other services and goods in return.
Today, bartering has made a comeback using techniques that are more sophisticated to aid in trading online. Barter has grown into a $20 billion-a-year industry. Currently, 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies and hundreds of thousands of other businesses around the world barter.

Barter may also occur in commercial economies, usually during periods of monetary crisis. During such a crisis, currency may be in short supply, or highly devalued through hyperinflation. In such cases, money ceases to be the universal medium of exchange or standard of value. Money may be in such short supply that it becomes an item of barter itself rather than the means of exchange. Barter may also occur when people cannot afford to keep money (as when hyperinflation quickly devalues it).

Barter has been re-invented, decentralized, secure and widely available in the form of Bata (BTA).

BTA will enable you to barter / trade conveniently across multiple platforms right across the globe - buying, selling, swapping and earning.

BTA converts slow moving stock, downtime, spare capacity or vacant seats into extra sales.

Gain new customers, who generate increased sales income
Move excess stock or utilise downtime
Free up cash to pay existing expenses
Increase profits from introduction of new business

You don't have to purchase from the same business that purchases from you
You can spend with anyone locally, nationally and internationally
You can sell now and buy later, or buy now and sell later
You can use Bata as capital to trade, even before making a sale

Promote your company to thousands of local, national and international businesses who are all potential customers. Every new customer brought to you by the Bata community brings new income on top of what you're already receiving, which will help to increase your profit margins.

The great thing about this Barter service vs current systems that rely on a line of credit and debt system is that your BTA can go up in value, so instead of being in debt your are potentially going to make money by holding BTA, or cash out, in 30+ currencies.


Here is an example on how BTA works - provided by BTA / BCT community member: thoth-Atlantian

It's all about idle stock & capacity!

I will use a restaurant as my example.

John owns a restaurant that 5 nights a week is only 65% full,
He has all his normal staff on, the lights and gas equipment is on but he could still seat another 45 people.
That is idle capacity.
So he has the latest BATA app and sets it to open for BATA!

Susan the head of Advertising at some local radio station who is taking out some clients to impress them see's this and goes to Johns restaurant using BATA as her means of payment.

Now this works well for John as he wouldn't normally have had anyone to fill that table on that night and instead of it going to waste he sold $300 worth of food. Because his food costs are only 25% and everything else was being paid for anyway
Whatever he buys now with his BATA will be at a 75% discount!!!

What about Susan you ask? well radio has plenty of idle time to sell with low overheads, she was straight onto the new BATA app when she saw it was available, As she has high customer relations costs.

Also she had her bathroom remodelled by Bob the builder whose booked job was rained out for the week and had to line up some inside work to help pay the guys somehow. She was happy to supply the goods and pay for the labour.
Of course after download fee BATA would expect 2.5% fees each way on all transactions and a renewal of subscription annually.



We are taking Barter to the next level, your community input is greatly valued and can shape the future of commerce.

Any questions or anything to add?

[thoth-Atlantian]

Not really, seems to be going well,

I think it just comes down to functionality of an app (if that's the ways it's going) and using it as a POS tool.

Also somehow have it so it's linked to a bank card so people can top it up if required, (maybe linked to 1ex somehow for that)

Gotta be pretty pricey to build though I would think.

I have already set some wheels in motion regarding App development, I m just waiting for some information before going forward.

Other than the Barter & top up function (yes 1ex or payservices are options) are there any other functions you would like to see?

[lin0sspice]

It is very similar to varge xvg has 400k$ cap and bta only ~ 40k$ cap
It look like a silent nuke about to explode to me

Similar, but different Yes keep in mind XVG has yet to "explode" so when that happens I am sure your observation could be quite correct.

Thanks for your support.

A messenger feature so when app is switched on you can message the business you want to use to see if they are open or whatever, could also send BTA through the messenger part.

Also you could have a Hot List of business that are really keen to take BTA and have them there as paid advertisements to promote themselves within the network...


And maybe a dice game

Messenger good option.
Host list nice idea.

Dice - definitely not in my opinion. Dice games are essentially gambling. All BTA Dice games are externally provided by 3rd party operators.

LOL yeah of course it is gambling, a terrible pastime,  I was being hilarious

added https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/bta to OP - although they only list 2 of 8 Exchanges.

[pc888]

Nearing 30K Blocks left till Reward halving.

You will notice I changed the title in the OP - more exposure means greater awareness.

[CryptocurrencyNetwork]

You will notice I changed the title in the OP - more exposure means greater awareness.

Does not look like anyone wants a slice of the 20 Billion Dollar Barter industry, except those who have already taken notice.

you know - i think this is a project that could expand into much bigger areas than just barter - but a slice of that industry IS nice ...

im a miner first and foremost - and thats the one thing that turned me off mining bata - scrypt ...

i mined scrypt when i was mining my first coin - litecoin - then moved on from there to other algos due to the gpu farm ( 'thefarm' ) ...

choosing scrypt meant that you limited the mining of the coin to those that were already in a much 'larger' mining community - asics mainly ... which pushed a LOT of the 'smaller' miners like thefarm ( even though thefarm is one of the 'larger' gpu farms ) out of contention for the coin ...

the project like i said has HUGE potential to grow - but mining bata with scrypt is a massive nono for miners like me ... which is a pity ... as i would have mined bata almost exclusively ( outside of granite of course ) had it not been for the algo ...

and now granite - being x11 - is going to be dominated by asic systems in the very near future - means im looking at changing teh algo to a slightly more gpu-friendly algo - maybe quark ...

anyway - im having a few issues on my end with the personal move next week - and thefarm move two weeks later - causing a major spanner on my end ... which means i may be offline completely for a few weeks until i get the internet connectivity running in the new property - and find a new property for thefarm ...

just thought id put my 0.025btc worth ...
