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

[DavinciJ15]

Hi Pc888,

It looks like DavinciJ15 was offering his services to help with marketing, development and financials. Does this sound like something you could benefit from?

"Yes, currently - in the past I have had help or seeked help from developers I know and trust." - How about now? Do you need any help?

I have been researching another Barter organisation in Australia that has over 2,000 clients already - I definitely see BTA as a decentralized competitor to Bartercard.com.au.

Let take this to the next step.

True but it all starts with him I have come to him with my help.  We need to have a meeting and brainstorm on what needs to be done and decide on a direction then work out who will do what.  I am one of the developers of Atencoin and a trader this coin needs to have people working on it for it move higher my group of traders have offered their help it's up to the Dev to work with us.
So the next step is schedule a meeting so we can figure out what to do next and how to proceed.  You are welcome to join us in the discussion.

Cheers

Oh I withdrew some BTA from bittrex wallet and didnt arrive in my wallet after several blocks, whats going on with trex wallet?

[earthpet]

With Bittrex you need to authorize the withdrawal from the email they send you. Did you authorize the withdrawal by clicking on the link in the email?

I use google 2FA for authorisation not my email. But my coins showed up a bit later anyway, thank you mate!!

Sorry for the delays in response.

Having some real issues that I am going through at the moment still, it looks like I might be out of action for a number of months due to family health issues.

To top it off, I deleted the BTA website by accident today. I was clearing files due to the Ticker Bot Spamming the server directory (1000's of files) and somehow selected the whole directory... grr maybe due to lag. I have since tried to restore the website but now am having some issues with the appearance. I will hopefully get to fix it tomorrow.

You also might notice that images are missing from the OP as well. This will be fixed tomorrow.

I am putting up my hand now and asking for more community involvement.

I am happy to step aside and let someone take the reins if the community desires, or get another Dev involved who has worked with POS.

We need to get things moving, we have the direction just need some practical work done.

I am unsure of how much of my time I need to devote to the family situation in the coming weeks or even worse case months.

I am still here, but out of action for the most part of the day - at present it 2.29am, just shows how limited my time is in front of a PC.

By no means am I saying I am giving up - just waving a little flag to say hey I might need a little hand now if you are will and able.

If anyone is a pro with Wordpress let me know as your help would be greatly appreciated.

they have over 20000 clients, But it is a very capital expensive top heavy organisation, I know they are going to the ASX as well because they have ripped as much money as they can out of it without raising eyebrows, BTA is decentralised and removes the middle people that make all the money.

Fair enough PC888 hope it sorts itself out.

Something struck me the other day, with the implosion of STEPS there are no coins atm trying to create a crypto freelance market.
In a way it is still bartering but on a more localized group (crypters) but if there was a marketplace where I could hire someone to do an app or a website and pay in BATA.

For instance you now could use it to get a new website done. not sure if the STEPS website is still up but it's worth a look 

[pc888]

A quick update, website restored.

OP images restored.

We need to start from somewhere so this would be a stepping stone to kick start the barter system with.

Thanks for the announcement. I will add the new exchange to the OP soon.

This project has buzz, I can see from the OP and the vibrancy in the website! Well done btw

The price declining can be a depressing factor but the markets are working naturally and there is strong demand at the support level. Looking at the charts I think there has been a bottom and you are just coming out from the bear market. In actual fact there is limited supply up until about 6x the current price.

Regarding the project direction I think there are some interesting concepts coming out of the Zcash research. Is it possible to implement the protocol on top of an existing blockchain?

If this is the case then perhaps merging this feature with the I2P will ring some bells?

Regarding the project, Zcash is option because the code can be sourced from existing coins when switching to POS as a new client will be required.

The question still looms, does the community want a piece of the proceeds of the Barter System or do I self fund it?

The idea of decentralized sits better with me but if there is not sufficient interest, then I will fund it myself.

Previous posts I have reached out to the community to see if we could get more developers or contributors to put their hand up, but I have not heard anything back. I previously have also stated that outside investors have asked if we need help, which I would need to revisit if required.

The software will be a trading platform for which you can swap goods and/or services, if any of parties involved does not want the others goods and/or services they can opt to receive the equivalent value in a Barter credit, which is BTA.

Hmmm yes, many options, I will chew on it and reply later on, tired as

Updated website and OP - corrected the links to Paper & Windows wallets. I added link to Mac wallet download.

Let me know if I missed something.

Ah good!  I was looking for the wallet, until I read you accidentally trashed some files on the website.

I will probably compile from source, when I get a moment.

Are you considering a transition from PoW to PoS or even a transition stage where the wallet will be hybrid PoW/PoS?  This transition would be more like a soft fork to make the transition easier for the user (certainly not for the developer).  I find that these wallet changes and hard-forks happen to quickly and people get left behind on the old chain as not everyone checks the forums and websites everyday or week.

I just saw this amazing coin. What a reward for the POS ?

PC888- Glad to see you back posting! What level of funding are you looking at for the Barter System?

PC888- Glad to see you back posting! What level of funding are you looking at for the Barter System?

Initial research into platforms I have found a suitable choice and obtained price quote for the barter platform:

Example quote:

Standard Service Setup Fee US$ 500

One time Standard Software Operating Fee
This fee is a combination of the following:

a)  Minimum fee
b)  % of trade volume
 
Monthly fees will be higher of a and b.
 
By way of clarification, software provider will charge 1US$ for transaction of US$ 100.
 
 
a)US$ 350 Monthly
b)1% Monthly
 

Fees include following features,
 
-          Market place with BTA branding

-          Administration section

-          Mobile friendly marketplace

-          iOS App with BTA branding

-          Android App with BTA branding

-          SMS notification (SMS gateway charges will be paid by client)

-          Phone posting (IVR charges will be paid by client)



This quote I have provided has yet to be negotiated to whether we can strike up a deal.

The software would be customised for use of BTA replacing a trade token.

I am not saying that this is the final choice for a Barter platform, but just an example of what pricing would be.

On top of this there are advertising costs for initial campaign. Ongoing advertising costs will come out of fees generated by the platform.
