[ANN][XRB]Cryptocurrency's killer app: RaiBlocks micropayments

[billy.ryoko]

For a solo player, I happy to see the FAUCET MAINTENANCE, they hope the dev can make it fair. 

you are happy you can't claim and your raiblocks net worth is collapsing? wtf

the worth are effect supply and demand, how you think the supply are great than the demand  the net worth is collapsing?

there are many bot and group player claim in the fault, for example ,in this time you can see the payout number is 5000, after 1 hour later, the number are raise to 6000, 
is that fair to solo claimer? you never claim it for yourself.

god dammit the value of xrb is collapsing while faucet maintenance... Hope faucet launches soon, so value can increase asap

The faucet being on maintenance right now has nothing to do with the devaluation of RaiBlocks, in fact it is supposed to increase in value because no new supply is being created at the moment. RaiBlocks value is determined by the value of Bitcoin, and right now Bitcoin is sliding that's why RaiBocks is somewhat affected by this.

not only XRB/USD price is going down, but XRB/BTC price is going down too, so it's not because BTC is dropping. If BTC was dropping, XRB should be going up in BTC to maintain the same USD rate.

Now it's dropping because faucet maintenance is scaring everyone, so they sell

China has banned ICOs

https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/04/chinas-central-bank-has-banned-icos/

It is looking like a new era is coming for ICOs, at least those in China for now. In the U.S., the SEC has issued official warnings around the risks of ICOs, also known as token sales, but the Chinese government looks set to beat it to implementing regulation around the rapidly growing fundraising option.

A notice from a committee led by China’s central bank [link in Chinese] today announced an immediate ban on ICO funding, which has “seriously disrupted the economic and financial order.”

Financial news site Caixin reported [link in Chinese] reported that the committee has prepared a list of 60 exchanges which will be subject to inspection and a report. In the meantime, there will be an ICO freeze in China.

ICOs involve raising funding by creating and selling new crypto tokens — commonly based on Ethereum — to investors. That’s led to comparisons with securities, with much speculation over whether financial regulators will look to regulate the space.

The Chinese committee voiced concern that some ICOs are financial scams and pyramid schemes. That echoes a recent warning from Singapore’s MAS.

“ICOs are vulnerable to money laundering and terrorist financing risks due to the anonymous nature of the transactions, and the ease with which large sums of monies may be raised in a short period of time,” MAS, Singapore’s central bank, said in an August 1 statement.

It isn’t clearly exactly which companies are on the committee’s investigation list, but already two of China’s largest platforms for buying into ICOs — ICOage and ICO.info, which help connect companies selling tokens with buyers — have suspended their services and stopped taking on new projects. Both said their suspensions were voluntary.

The number of ICOs hosted this year has risen massively across the world. The total amount raised from token sales surpassed early stage investment spending from traditional venture capitals during the first half of 2017, according to a Goldman Sachs report.

This year to date, ICO fundraising is said to have topped $1.6 billion. Already, two companies’ coins have grown to a market cap of more than $1 billion, although the significance of that landmark is unclear since neither has a product in the market right now.

China, which houses one of the world’s most active bitcoin communities, has been a key part of the ICO boom, both in terms of companies selling tokens and buyers snapping them up.

State media firm Xinhua reported in July that Chinese companies had raised $383 million from 105,000 investors during the first half of the year.

The SEC hasn’t made a firm move in the U.S. yet — despite making announcements — so all eyes will be on China to see what kind of mechanisms can govern ICOs, and indeed whether all types of ICOs will be regulated. It’ll also be interesting to watch the potential fall out of this crackdown on the market for ICOs, and crypto currencies generally, given the prominent role played by China.

Long-time crypto watchers will recall 2013, when China banned exchanges from allowing people to buy into bitcoin and other crypto coins using the local yuan currency. The result was a huge price drop, but support for yuan deposits did return and the price if bitcoin has soared to new highs — most recently $5,000 on some exchanges.

Many china investor have gone, some exchange site have stop the trading now.

Exactly, people saying this stuff doesn't make much sense.  Especially when there have already been a few times the faucet shutdown and came back.  It's not like this time it's done forever.

[mizmazegt]

Nice bounce in price by our dear Raiblocks! With such strong performance on the market even during stress times and only being available on low-liquidity exchanges, this is very bullish about the XRB price.
