[ANN] æternity blockchain ∞ AE TOKEN ∞ [PoW & PoS | Oracles | Smart Contracts]

[Victorio]

Devs,
Is still Cuckoo Cycle the preferred PoW concept? I understand only theoretical models of the algo are available at this moment, yet - is the algo memory-dependent as Dagger-Hashimoto or core-dependent, as Equihash? æternity was the ICO I first sent my mining earnings, the large functionality caught my attention - hybrid PoS-PoW coin, smart contracts, integration of programming languages and REST API.
For the hybrid PoS-PoW model, what is the distribution in % of newly issued coins?

I wonder when is going to be main launch, does anybody heard a rumor of when this could be? i know is going to be in 2018 right? hope is not as far as 2019.

https://aeternity.com/

You check the official roadmap on that website it's planned to launch in Q2 2018 don't believe on rumors. I'm impress to see the progress of dev team they are moving forward with very good momentum I hope it will get launched according to the plan.

Q2 2018? I expect a long delay.

New roadmap, new dates. This is not a big problem when the development team partially changes, the roadmap dates can changed too. Aeternity is a big project and we can wait for the release.

Yes I can live with that too, just hope that the delay wont be more than a few months. Not that I will loose trust, but I am scared that many people would and therefore the price could go under ICO price again. I surely dont want that to happen.

Once the mainnet is launched we will have to swap our present tokens to a new one right? Just like we did with QTUM?

so, Aetrrnity will switch to its  own blockchain, am I unerstand right?
Definitely I have to buy some  AE tokens,
I don't want to miss chance again like with EoS and Iota last time (;

What exchange could you recommend to buy AE?

cex.com is available for AE trading, which is known as btc9.com before the regulation of China, also you can buy it on gate.io and liqui

Aeternity has a real good white paper ,  we all have seen it , but  the real future depends on  the  development ,  hope  dev team dont ruin the concept of ae.

All,

I have invested some time ago, since the project seems to have interesting attributes. Something which makes me a little scared is seeing that no one in this thread is actually talking about the project, rather every post is on the value of the coin. There is more than the coin - the project itself. They are inseparably bound, however I feel like no one is critically challenging the development team. Is anyone actually looking at the coding, seriously?

Point of the post: the value of the coin is based on the project, so just challenge the team and the development and your coin will rise eventually. The value seems to stable around 60c now. Now the development team has to deliver to justify another increase. Recently we've seen another change in the development team, after zack leaving approx. 4 months ago, which is normal in any company. Now it's on all of you to place trust in the team, but stay critical.

In my critical role I'm wondering if the AE team has any (large) companies already interested in the technology? Just like we saw with IOTA today, the backing of a company can significantly boost a projects image. So, AE team, is there any contact with companies in this respect?

[Semur_Jengkol]

this year I will invest about 10 coins for a price not more than $ 1, and Aeternity is included. hopefully next year the price could reach at least $ 10.

I think they need to show to the public the purpose and the progress in a way that even not techie person will understand. Maybe they have a weak marketing team. If you will look at other coins, they always reach the investors. Way back, when cryptocurrency was not yet in the mainstream, the investors are the techie people who understand those techie terms. But now, the investors are those people who were just amazed with the new idea whenever they are imagining it.

I joined the 2nd phase of ico and used my 2 eth(932 dollars now) and got 900 tokens(It is 530 dollars now). Everyone is rising because of their marketing and showing the people what their product is and how unique it is. Cryptocurrency is in the bull run now except for aethernity. This is the right time to market it while investors are overflowing now. Aethernity only has a godfather of Ethereum which not even marketed now. It will be great if aethernity will be known to public using a simple
 title/term that will attract everyone to be followed by the godfather of ethereum.  "Scalable smart contracts interfacing with real world data." Whats unique with it? Just sounds like Ethereum. Do you think the mainstream will understand this? We already have a godfather of ethereum in the brand. Please, dont waste it. Aethernity has a big potential.

There are lot of people invested in the ICO. What were you doing with the money? Can you spend even a little on marketing?

Hmm we need more community involvement with Aeternity. I have already made some threads to spread the message of what it's about, and I have made some artwork too. I will continue to do more of this when the test net arrives, and I hope others can take part in growing Aeternity as well, because we make up this community, we are the early adopters, we have to be the ones help to spread its message (but again I'm really waiting for the testnet to launch so I can say how awesome this project is, and once mainnet comes that's another level of spreading the message).

I really like this website made by a community member: http://www.aenews.io/

We need more sites like that one. I think Aeternity intentionally does not want to put itself up on any big exchanges yet because they do not have a test net or mainnet launch yet. All of this stuff is upcoming. This is the most outstanding project being worked on in the blockchain space, and we are very lucky that the main developers and team are giving constant updates on the project. Seriously, most ICOs barely give any updates on anything.

I have been keeping a close eye on the Github here: https://github.com/aeternity
And the PivotalTracker here: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/2124891

Both of those links are public and was posted in one of their blog posts. They show and track how Aeternity is doing, and what kinds of development goals they have.

Do your part and spread the message in your own way. Tell people about Aeternity, make Aeternity merchandise (like shirts and stuff) and sell them for AE. Work on an AE project.

Do your freaking part if you want Aeternity to thrive as much as the team working on it does.

Can you show a link where someone claims that he could not withdraw his money from EtherDelta? This would definitely interest me. I have only made very good experience with ED so far (besides of the site lagging sometimes).

you are right,i don’t find anything now.maybe i was wrong about ed ,because I have search many exchange in google and could simply confuse the exchanges.

p.s. i see “mainnet launch q2 2018”. what caused no small delay?

Nice reply from the Aeternity team.

What if we get united here and try to do something together that might give interested to the Aeternity team to fund any marketing project we will build? Any suggestions?

This is good to hear as the crypto space matures more individuals are less driven by the bits and bytes and more by "real world applications".  The focus/updates to date has been the very technical but for long term success there needs to be a balance. 

It is easy to get caught up in the "build a better mousetrap and it will sell itself"......that is not always the case.  You could have the best technological solution in the world but if no one knows about it or doesn't understand it than we have missed the mark.

Just my thoughts!

[positivehigh]

Where can we see the instructions how to get the tokens? Is it possible to sell it at liqui?

https://blog.aeternity.com/how-to-access-your-ae-tokens-41c2a96be798

[positivehigh]

When we redeem the token, we can trade it at liqui?  I dont understand what ive read that it cant be moved.

The AE tokens were distributed some months ago. They are tradable at liqui and etherdelta as far as I know. They where sent to your ETH address automatically, if you dont see your tokens from the ICO in your wallet, you may need to add a costum token (contract address, symbol, decimals). You can find the information needed in the above posted link.

[positivehigh]

Do i need to install an ethereum wallet to get the token or can i directly send it to liqui?

Real price depends upon the product they choose so it is always good for the company if they really concentrating on development. I think already team is developing the product because you can see their activity through GitHub.
