Chain of Points (POINTS)
Transforming Loyalty Into Rewards
ChainOfPoints.com

COIN SALE IS NOW LIVE AT TOKEN MARKET

Digital currency is creating new ways for people to store and exchange value. Using blockchain technology it is now possible to redefine the loyalty economy which can have a tremendous positive impact for both businesses and consumers globally. Chain of Points is a dedicated digital currency designed to address the current problems faced by the loyalty industry.

Chain of Points creates new loyalty methods for businesses.

Chain of Points creates new reward incentives for consumers.

Chain of Points is… Modernizing the rewards industry.

Chain of Points unlocks the power of blockchain technology to revolutionize loyalty programs. Loyalty programs represent a multibillion dollar industry and the consumer enrollment is steadily increasing, while the actual participation and loyalty redemption is dropping significantly. To bridge this imbalance, Chain of Points is introducing the POINTS token.


Chain of Points For Business:
POINTS is a blockchain-based token that provides a simple and flexible solution to Merchants and Customers in loyalty rewards space. Merchants need turn-key and inexpensive loyalty programs to retain and grow their customer base, while Customers are looking for liquidity and one-button solutions to all their reward programs. Chain of Points provides a turnkey platform powered by the Chain of Points Blockchain that transforms any rewards program into an effective Loyalty tool.


Chain of Points For Consumers:

All-in-one digital solutions are becoming significantly more appealing to Consumers, as compared to the various existing loyalty card programs. The usability, small implementation cost, along with the comprehensive and accessible free market (inherent in a decentralized system such as Chain of Points) makes this solution very attractive to small and home business owners. A powerful API also helps make Chain of Points com- patible with the more sophisticated workflow of medium-sized and big businesses. The Chain of Points provides Customer satisfaction by providing liquidity of their rewards, and tailored loyalty.

The Chain of Points difference…

POINTS incorporates cryptocurrency functionality programmed to act as the technical backbone of the loyalty and gift card industries. These to- kens can be used to promise, redeem, and transfer rewards from Merchant to Customer, Customer to Customer, and even Merchant to Merchant. The comprehensive cryptographic workings native to the Chain of Points blockchain also offer ways to fully and flexibly create gift cards, tokens, and even general legal contracts by using our own easy-to-understand language for implementing Ricardian Contracts. A Delegated Proof-of-Stake-based consensus algorithm is used to validate transactions in the network, mak- ing the system truly scalable and on a par with the transaction speeds of established financial services such as VISA.


Chain of Points Technology
Chain of Points leverages digital currency while transforming loyalty into rewards that are easier, better and more cost effective for everyone.

Chain of Points has created tradable tokens called POINTS. POINTS are built using blockchain technology, offering a solution that anyone can understand and use in a matter of minutes. POINTS provide a stable and scalable solution that benefits the producers and companies (hereafter referred to as Merchants) as well as their Customers.

Chain of Points is designed to be a speedy and lightweight solution that would allow businesses to focus on their goals, and let the technology function under the hood. This is why we employ a new and promising Delegated Proof-of-Stake-based blockchain validation algorithm. One reason for this cutting-edge design choice is that the algorithm can handle at least as many transactions per second as NASDAQ claims on average. So if you decide to use Chain of Points, you can bet it will be a smooth experience.


POINTS
A maximum of 100,000,000 POINTS will be in circulation. 30% of those POINTS will be pre-mined. Out of those, 21 million will be offered in an Initial Crowd Sale.

Chain of Points with its POINTS token has created a turn-key, universally adapt- able Loyalty Rewards system that can be simply implemented for any size business. Liquidity and ability to trade POINTS provides an unprecedented solution to Mer- chants and Customers implementing Loyalty Rewards programs.

Businesses wishing to stay ahead of their competition must must primarily use their resources in a smart way. Instead of wasting time and money building classical loyalty programs which are fundamentally unsuited to younger generations, invest it in furthering your main goals, and let Chain of Points handle loyalty altogether.

Join the Chain of Points community and join the new way of transforming loyalty into rewards.

Visit ChainOfPoints.com for more detailed information.

“Chain of Points incentivizes customers to reclaim their rewards in quick and user-friendly ways,” said Katzela. “But if the customer is uninterested in cashing in their points, they can still receive value for their loyalty, and merchants will be compensated as well. With Chain of Points, we can finally start thinking win-win.”

Bounties?

They are not the same.

Chain of Points is distinct in several ways. The Chain of Points whitepaper describes the system in detail and can be downloaded from the website. We will be adding information to the OP for convenience but for quick reference...

• The first dedicated digital currency for loyalty solutions
• The first digital currency to use Ricardian contracts
• The first digital currency designed for any loyalty solution

We have also developed significant partnerships with loyalty industry solution providers. One of our objectives is to ensure Chain of Points adoption into actual applications as early as possible.

The topic is self-moderated to prevent irrelevancies, unwarranted attacks, thread hijacking, spam posting, etc., etc.

The crowdsale is being handled by Token Market.

Chain of Points
INCENT
COVAL

Are these the same?

No they are not, INCENT is a marketing exercise, you might as well say BTC is a loyalty program. POINTS is a public blockchain for issuing contracts, the blockchain evaluates ricardian contract clauses and, also, has a standardized protocol for speaking with oracles and operations can be performed based on the results of both on-chain contracts and outside events. Chain of Points is using it for their Loyalty solution, but it could be used for issuing any simple commercial contract and also any financial instrument. Another neat feature is that we are working on protocols for reclaiming lost tokens and its DPOS based which is still the most scalable solution(we don't use any code from Graphene).

I haven't heard much from COVAL, but seems like LOYYAL have abandoned that idea and its not being worked on very seriously. Looks to me like LOYYAL are selling hyperledger based loyalty solution to financial institutions, while we are focused on an open platform for merchants, without unnecessary middlemen. I don't think that's an exciting business to be a hyperledger VAR, we want to really disrupt this industry and you can't by playing the same game that Amex and other aggregators do, you have to create an alternative that removes the need for them.

I agree. Why is it that you prefer to self-moderate this topic? Considering that it seems legit & yahoo already posted a thread regarding the sig campaign though it's still locked for the moment. Yahoo only accepts legit biz. There's a negative notion from the community if the thread is self-moderated.

IMHO , there could be only a few reasons why this or any other thread is self moderated...=

1:) when a person or the devs are having some really bad intentions and they need to hide things.
2:)when a person or the devs just have no time to deal with all the crap on this forum and prefer to simply cut it down by self moderation. .

after checking this thread out and being one of the aspiring sig campaign members , i personally would have to suggest the later! dealing with the trolls and the nay-Sayers is a hard and taunting job and one has to be very careful of what they say to not have it turned around on them for misspelering a single word! it is a spiral that is not needed in a serious thread as of such.

hope this helps..

Hi dev I see at chainofpoints website a countdown, the time is shown when the will ICO start? Do you offering a bonus for early investor? I don't see this information in this thread or in the website. Thanks

[CjMapope]

its interesting to see your planned use of Ricardian contracts, but i cant help but wonder if its just been done too much, this loyalty rewards thing :/

Cant support an ICO, why not a long term PoW to support the network/distribute FAIRLY the tokens? This "money up front for an idea" is just crazy on this forum, ends up with 90% disappointment and people praying for a pump on a shittoken :/
I would say: Escrow! but: its a given at this point, and it wont protect anyways, anyone can churn out a token for 20-100BTC to get escrow released NP!

Wont be investing a penny, but hey, good luck i guess? ;p

Hello CjMapope, thanks for the comment. I'm sure I'm not going to change your mind in buying POINTS tokens, but here are some clarifications I want to address.

The "loyalty rewards thing" hasn't been done at all on a Blockchain, otherwise we would be in a world where:

1) there was a universal interface for the loyalty industry apart from incumbents like Amex;
2) where merchants weren't at the mercy of financial institutions for implementing a half decent loyalty system at unreasonable prices;
3) where any great bunch of product developers could build a wallet that worked with anyone's loyalty program that was issued on the network and we would see many innovative solutions;
4) where you could transfer points to your friends and family and they were tradeable on open marketplaces;
5) and mnay other points I could elaborate on.

There has been a lot of talk of doing loyalty on blockchains, but NO GROUP has actually done that, let's get that straight, its all been talk. There haven't been even that many projects formalized in this space and this should be one of the prime areas blockchains are used for. AFAIK, the only other company remotely doing something with loyalty and blockchains right now is loyyal (startup at least), but they are only a hyperledger reseller/VAR servicing the financial industry, to my understanding at least. Our philosophy is very different, we believe these technologies can lead to a world where commerce won't be dependent on financial institutions and our solution empowers merchants, that's why we need a public blockchain, credit card companies and the like are not our target market. I won't even mention why Incent is completely irrelevant to what we are doing, they are more of a marketing and business development exercise, its not a platform, which is what we are building.

I'm curious why you think PoW is the only fair solution, DPoS is very democratic, which is what we are using. So are many hybrid PoS/PoW systems and there are other potential solutions on the horizon (ALGORAND, Casper, etc) which are just as fair. We are building a solution for today, not the far future, we need the most scalable solution that works, for our immediate requirements, and that's DPoS.

As to why we are doing an ICO, well that's where we will have to agree to disagree. The solution we are developing won't get built by itself, we have a highly talented and skilled team in place, everyone involved with this company has developed successful products and services in the past, and by that, I mean real shippable products and services. I think product crowdsales can lead to a lot of innovation globally. There will be a lot of shitcoins and scams, and the community will have to learn and coalesce on self regulating themselves.

I, myself, have invested in many ICOs and have remained long on most of them.

Hi dev I see at chainofpoints website a countdown, the time is shown when the will ICO start? Do you offering a bonus for early investor? I don't see this information in this thread or in the website. Thanks

Hello, I've been told by the team this information will be released at the launch of the crowdsale. We will be offering significant bonuses.

[Gustavv]

only around 9 hours left the crowdsale of Chain of Points will started, countdown time at site is correct, right?
my body is ready for this crowdsale will join on it although with small amount

Did a background check to Chain of Points' CEO it seems like she is a real person. Irene Katzela wants to revolutionize cryptocurrency with the system they are creating. If given support we might see Bitcoin having a large demand and having all new all time high prices. You can read an article about her in this site   Also she has a twitter account which we can be updated by her.

By the way, this Chain of Points project is promising I hope it will became successful.

[altcoinrich]

Thanks for the signature campaign, I am happy to be one promoter for your project. I will definitely invest some, after i have researched your project, IMO CoP is much better than Incent, you have more innovative ideas and stronger team. But I see 21 million for ICO, and 100 million for total amount? The part of ICO coins are too little, people may worry about the future inflation.

[emezh10]

Thank you for accepting me in your high paying signature campaign. I will do my best for promoting your project. I will invest in your ICO project I think a small investment first. But in overall I think this is one of the best ICO and signature campaign. I am happy to be a part of this project and promoting this campaign. I hope your signature campaign will be extended.

[sportis]

Reading the white paper point tokens hold not only values but carry promises too. So using the merchant - customer model what would be happened if the service provided by Bob to Alice was not the one that was expected by Alice. How can this dispute can be solved between the two parties if Alice does not return her token to the Bob; 

[Bellator]

I hope Chain of Points  will be one of the successful project in bitcoin world. Thanks for this signature campaign program. I will try my best to advertise this Chain of Points. Many members here want to join your campaign but i"m one of the luckiest member who choose to advertise this Chain of points. It's my pleasure to be part of this project.

[buwaytress]

Just came back to internet and bct, and have applied to the signature campaign for CoP, so will of course be looking forward to developments that I'm helping to promote here.

Reading the tweet/post on loyalty points is possibly one of the truths we can all relate to: never using up loyalty points. Every few years I am in a country and sign up for perhaps 3 or 4 new loyalty cards and collect points which I never end up using. If CoP can find a way to unite this industry, it's going to be an easy sell to people like me.

Good luck!

[youdacapt]

I saw chain of points (CoP) as blockchain from different sides, more concerned with circulation of fundamental business and formation of loyal communities, I don't know much, but I am interested to be a part of this community, I subscribe email to get the latest info/crowsdale to be launched within 4 hours.

I see no way to make an account in your website at the moment ? I also want to know, by participating in the ICO and actually buying the POINTS tokens, will the holders get any advantage besides the fact that they help growing this project ? and what cryptocurrencies are you planning to accept in the crowdsale ?

Maybe they are planning the ICO time, and they will implement the investment system to host an ICO. Hope it will be soon.

[--DarkSecrets--]

This indeed is amazing concept targeting the loyalty business.
Will consumers earn CoP POINTS for making purchase through affiliate merchants?Where and how can they redeem these POINTS?

[arbitrage]

Where we can find out more about PR plan? This looks like large project, good PR tactic is more than needed.
Signature campaign is not enough, maybe you will need  Twitter and social networks as support.
 Nice video, for those lazy to read this is perfect solution to find out more about project.

I think the crowdsale has not begin yet.You can visit their website https://chainofpoints.com/ and subscribe to their newsletter for info on the POINTS crowdsale.Although a countdown timer on website shows 00 days for crowdsale but I think it is due to some error.
You can also join their slack https://chainofpoints.herokuapp.com/ for updates and discussion.
As for bounty,they are currently running signature campaign here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1801121.0 for other bounties,keep checking this thread or ask on slack.

[gandame]

I am confident of this site to have better service and in sooner time their crowdsale will be started. You can subscribe to their main website posted on this thread for you to read their newsletters and be always updated. Hopefully this ICO will be successful and everyone who joined the campaign, helped a lot by their contributions of ideas that became the significant aim of this campaign.

[Rockie1234]

Can anyone explain to me how exactly this works? I understand that the Points tokens are used in loyalty programs, but how is this a universal solution? Are customers given these tokens as a reward or are these tokens used to buy in the same way as vouchers?

Can anyone explain to me how exactly this works? I understand that the Points tokens are used in loyalty programs, but how is this a universal solution? Are customers given these tokens as a reward or are these tokens used to buy in the same way as vouchers?

Hi no, so as a consumer, you will probably never see POINTS tokens. The POINTS blockchain works like a contract issuance platform. You create contracts, for example a loyalty contract that says the companies loyalty points are redeemable for Y products, with X expiry date, etc. The blockchain can execute this LEGAL contract. What it does is it executes it (evaluates the contracts clauses or terms and conditions) and based on the results can perform operations.

If Solidity is general purpose language, the POINTS execution language is a specific type of query/reasoner language that evaluates the contract and performs other operations.

In addition, the POINTS blockchain has methods for redeeming lost POINTS tokens and a universal protocol for communicating with Oracles.

So the blockchain can be used for issuing any simple legal contract, not just loyalty schemes but any financial instrument and other simple commercial contracts like car warranties.

However, all the Contract templates we are building as a company and all the UI's we are building are for the loyalty industry. This is what the industry needs to compete with companies like Amex, which are becoming the universal protocol for the loyalty industry.

If this doesn't make sense please ask what parts need to be clarified, I want people to understand why this is such an amazing project. In our opinion Ethereum is too general for what we need it to do, and BTC isn't meant to be an issuance platform. This solves our needs for a platform to tie in to our loyalty system.   

[shidan2]

This indeed is amazing concept targeting the loyalty business.
Will consumers earn CoP POINTS for making purchase through affiliate merchants?Where and how can they redeem these POINTS?

No Merchants will create their own points using our merchant wallet and consumers will be able to get all their loyalty points in any of app of their choosing that supports our blockchain and token.

I disagree with you, I believe it is a great idea indeed.
Having a points as a loyalty award to consumers has been a practice nowadays in any merchants and I think this will work also in Chain of Points.

[starblocks]

Will keep an eye on this

[mummybtc]

Have received 2 newsletters from Chain of points team, saying the ICO was moved to February 26,  the crowdsale hasn't started yet, or is it due to time zone difference

[DonApp]

So I am trying to figure out on which blockchain this service will be running, but cannot find an answer. Can anyone elaborate on this?

Furthermore no timeline for developments. What will be delivered at which stage of this project? Wallets? Apps? And what is the required funding for a succesfull development?

Any contact with merchants? How will you provide this universal solution between different merchants with different loyalty systems?

Thanks for your answers!

it certainly is a new concept that this here is trying, and i also think it is a nice thing. although we have to wait and see more of it in real action too, before making a complete decision about this.
if the points of loyalty can reach a balance and not overdo it, it can be pretty revolutionary.

[altcoinrich]

I just noticed that the ICO has been LIVE for a while, 5 btc funded, which is good. What is the threshold for ICO? And the escrows are whom? I read the OP but didn't find the info, actually you can add the info in your OP, to show more details to new investors. I hope you can raise the fund you want.

Btw, what is the bounty for translation? Thanks.

Many thanks to everyone for their support so far.

Some bounty information has been added to the ANN information and we will be adding more soon.

We will also be updating the media section to help everyone stay updated on the attention we are getting.

There are several questions that have been asked above and all will be answered in upcoming posts.

[logictense]

Why not? Points should be generated freely and transferred to ancestors of ur granny without limitation. Overall, I construe ur tactics and recent replies in this hread as a "fuck-off" type of behavior, this tells me a lot about ur professionalism and sanity.

[ChainOfPoints]

This indeed is amazing concept targeting the loyalty business.
Will consumers earn CoP POINTS for making purchase through affiliate merchants?Where and how can they redeem these POINTS?

The system creates more flexibility for consumers. It allows businesses to create loyalty programs with a low barrier to entry so more options for consumers can be created.

POINTS will be earned by consumers who transact with merchants that use the system tools.
POINTS will be redeemable through merchants who support POINTS.
POINTS are a dedicated digital token so they can also be openly traded.

Merchants will also have the ability to create their own loyalty programs using sub-tokens that can then be traded for POINTS, all within the system.

[ChainOfPoints]

Can anyone explain to me how exactly this works? I understand that the Points tokens are used in loyalty programs, but how is this a universal solution? Are customers given these tokens as a reward or are these tokens used to buy in the same way as vouchers?

The universality comes from the implementation of a dedicated blockchain solution for transactions based on loyalty programs.

POINTS, the native token for the system, is a cryptocurrency that can be exchanged for goods and services as well as traded for other digital tokens. Rather than having your loyalty points locked up in a proprietary system that only allows one-way transactions, the Chain of Points system decentralizes the tracking of loyalty that is rewarded to consumers.

This completely changes how people use reward points in many fundamental ways that are beneficial to both consumers and businesses.

[ChainOfPoints]

So I am trying to figure out on which blockchain this service will be running, but cannot find an answer. Can anyone elaborate on this?

Chain of Points is a purpose-built, dedicated blockchain solution. It will be it's own blockchain with customized features. Features will include: DPoS, Ricardian contracts, and others. We have more details in the whitepaper which can be downloed from the site.

Furthermore no timeline for developments. What will be delivered at which stage of this project? Wallets? Apps? And what is the required funding for a succesfull development?

We will be posting more specifics about the project over the next few days. This will include milestones, partnerships and additions to our advisory board.

The pre-sale is capped at 21M POINTS and we expect the demand to be extraordinarily high. Although the final total supply is 100M, those are not premined. After the pre-sale, additional coins will be generated through staking so it will take many years to reach that number.

Any contact with merchants? How will you provide this universal solution between different merchants with different loyalty systems?

Thanks for your answers!

We are in various stages of negotiation with several significant partners. Our team members come from various backgrounds that all contribute to the business objectives of this project, including ties to the loyalty space. We are also in more detailed discussions with some technology providers concerning the specifics of implementing Chain of Points into existing systems.

In addition to the open POINTS blockchain we have other technologies in development. Access to a robust API is of high importance to our efforts related to integration.

[ChainOfPoints]

This indeed is amazing concept targeting the loyalty business.

No Merchants will create their own points using our merchant wallet and consumers will be able to get all their loyalty points in any of app of their choosing that supports our blockchain and token.

This reply may have been mistyped, misread or misunderstood.

So...

"No Merchants will create their own points using our merchant wallet and consumers will be able to get all their..."

Was missing a comma.

...

POINTS are cryptocurrency technology so all of the benefits you describe are completely available.

Using the POINTS system merchants will be able to create their own POINTS using the merchant wallet. These would be optional sub-tokens they can create for their own loyalty program benefits. Merchants can alternatively just issue and redeem POINTS directly. Consumers can use their wallet to send and receive POINTS and any sub-tokens created by specific merchants.

Merchants will have tools made available to them to make the process easy to implement into new and existing systems. The system is open so people have the freedom to use their POINTS how ever they wish.

hey what happens to the balance of the 21,000,000 tokens if they go unsold?

$.30 per token is the sale price,  implying 30 mil $ mkt cap if you consider the 100,000,000 potential tokens.  Please tell me how you arrived at this price,  because I think it is way too high.

Agree the cap for a newbie coin makes a little to sense. If u compare ur figures with bitshares cap, u would find the target cap ridiculous to shits. I propose to charge cocky noobs who has recently joined crypto with N quantity of bitcoins before giving their accounts an allowance to create fundraising threads. The money raised this way could be put to good use or stacked up in a forum treasury.

When is the final date for the Ico? I like the concept of creating loyalty incentives for businesses and consumers very interesting

[blocks.explorer]

How different is this from the Incent loyalty?
What are the features, benefits?

[shidan2]

How different is this from the Incent loyalty?
What are the features, benefits?

It's very different, Incent is a proposed universal token, like BTC, marketed for the loyalty industry.

POINTS is a platform for issuing Ricardian contracts, that get evaluated on-chain. The platform allows merchants to create their own loyalty tokens with terms and conditions, like expiration date, which other loyalty points they are trade-able with, what they can be redeemed for and so forth.

The wallets we are developing and the templates for our specific contracts, both the merchant and consumer wallet, are designed for loyalty points, but the blockchain can be used to develop other products and services on, including financial instruments.

Hi, unsold tokens will be reserved for future funding of the project.

Only 30% of the 100M  tokens will be made available, the rest are distributed over a period of many years. So if you purchase tokens, and stake them, you will not be diluted, in fact, your ownership percentage of the total supply of coins will actually grow considerably.

November 2019. Thats the exact date when the chain of transplants gets traction and u will get a roi but until then u will be deemed a short-sighted bagholding idiot.

[dihari]

Nice to see the ICO is live now. As I see on this thread, peoples have a good reaction on this project. This project is making good concept with "transforming loyalty into rewards" tagline. I hope the ICO sale will touch the target point and bring this project success.

[ComponY]

The project is similar to Incent, but still some difference, I think you are better than Incent because you base on bitcoin, but they base on Waves.

i have a doubt it will not reach the target since this coin have good potential and many users i think are into this project including me, i will definitely invest some spare money before the ICO ends

[player514]

I've never heard of Incent. Is it popularly known or is it something that never really surfaced well? Do you have a link from bitcointalk to point me to? The project here is very interesting, so I'd love to check out these other similar ones as well.

[crazydeadmoth]

What is the threshold for lowest funding? Is this ICO a refundable one if the threshold won't be reached? No escrow?

Check it out for your reference. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1610052.0
But I guess this is better than Incent so I will support this project as well by investing, I hope we it will gather a good amount of investments during the ICO.

Any bounty campaign like signcamp or social network camp dev??

Can you add blog or article writing in your bounties? People use to google first about your company before making investments.. So its good someone will write about you and your company.

This is a great idea we will definitely do this.

Chain of points ICO on 9tb February - 9th March, based on this news : CoinReport their approaching initial coin offering (ICO), which will commence on February 9, 2017 and run through March 9. https://coinreport.net/chain-points-announces-ico/
I like take a part in the ico as the project seems so great, people should realize how chain of points has some advantages which better than other coins, such as : With the blockchain of Chain of Points, no electricity is wasted and a new block can be created every 10 seconds, with this condition, we can do a lot of transactions everyday but no need to worry about unconfirmed transaction.

its good to see that chain of points can created new blocks every 10 seconds and i think it will make the transaction is faster but i am wondering how it will happen if there are many transaction is created in future and we know that in future, the transaction will be increase more than now.

Hi Dev i think you should promote in social media too that the best way to get investors as i see in your twitter and facebook only 1 or 2 people are shere, retweet your tweet,well i'm talking social media campaign, is it possible to do so,afaik many succesful project out there doing promo in social media.just my opinion

There is also some downside on advertising in social medias. Specially in twitter there are many accounts with fake followers which doesn't make any difference or doesn't have any importance. Rather than getting some investors social media campaigns prior to ICO is good for creating early buzz.

In order to counter the fake twitter followers there is a twitter audit where you can check whether the followers are real or not and the campaign manager will usually take these sort of responsibilities and if Yahoo is looking after the social media campaign too then you can very well be sure that he will take every precaution to reject the void fake twitter followers.

I think next time is open ico selling is ready
if ico selling early open, chain of points coin ca open social media campaign, twitter campaign and facebook campaign
so wait until chain of points open ico selling

[Karartma1]

It seems like the high value of bitcoin is slowind down the crowdsale: usually the first days with the higher bonuses sell out very quickly. Marketing needs to be powered a bit.

[Winner]

I am watching this one -I haven't invested any Bitcoins for the ICO because they are usually not worth it. Chain of Points looks like it has a good team and with the ICO ending on March 31st, 2017 00:00 GMT I am wondering if the coins distribution will begin on that time?

I know that Chain of Points is kind of new plus with only 13 participants and a total of 7.34 BTC invested, will the project continue if that amount was unchanged?

[Raimonn]

It seems like the high value of bitcoin is slowind down the crowdsale: usually the first days with the higher bonuses sell out very quickly. Marketing needs to be powered a bit.

When bitcoin price is increasing like these weeks, users take more time before deciding to invest or not. Its possible that they will need more articles on crypto related websites.

What's the purpose of twitteraudit? They are aware of that if COP will  make a social media campaign and I think it will be good way to advetise
ICO is live now glad to hear and I will support this nice project

[tiggytomb]

I was a huge fan of COVAL and LOYYAL when they announced their reward project but then LOYYAL became it's own thing and COVAL is on a different path now.

I believe if it can be done right Chain of Points can take advantage of the massive rewards industry, I will keep a close eye on this one.

[lol3c]

I am going to buy some coins from this project. Hope that they can become as strong as Bitcoin so that I can earn some good amount of money from it. ICO is always a good start for developing a cryptocurrency

[PhucS]

I feel quite excited with this project. I came across the website, their team is quite good and of high quality. What I like here is the difference, combining functionality cryptocurrency programmed to act as the techniques of the industry. Its technology is also an advantage, built using technology blockchain, a modern technology that simple. This can help users easily understood and can be quickly used. I signed up to receive newsletters and wait Crowdsale end. I also join their signature campaign. I hope that will help make a better campaign. Hopefully this project will be a success

[paul gatt]

Chain of Points Technology Chain is a new technology, it marks a new step forward in the ease and convenience. thereby bringing more profit, efficiency and reduce costs for users. This really is a good technology. While blockchain are having troubles in handling the transaction, then this could be the solution that solved, I am very excited and looking forward to experience it. it is a wonderful thing. I want to experience it as soon as possible.

[AmoreJaz]

obviously there are second interests in many of the preceding posts prior to mine! sure everyone wants to make a point of saying something constructive but doing just a bit of research from many peoples posts before this campaign of social media tells the truth of that person! i have already posted my thoughts of this coin and project and i think it does have good potential but only if the devs keep up with their interest and dont fall shy like so many other devs with other coins before them!

Well seeing how much they are rewarding, people will say anything to get their hands on it. It is sad to see how many people that join signature campaigns act like beggars.

Go to their official website https://chainofpoints.com/ and subsrcibe. You can also follow their social media accounts (twitter, facebook, reddit etc) for more updates. If you still need more info then just ask it here, hopefully the dev will answer your questions as soon as possible.

[agustina2]

I only have one question, how many funds will be collected in order  to make ICO a success?

Target funds are vary per ICO.

Also to make an ICO a success, it does not only pointing to the collected funds but rather the community's support especially after the ICO. Look at Stratis, their collected funds is only 900+ btc, whic is really a small one compare to other ICO's, but established a good volume at some of the exchange (e.g Poloniex). It's really depend on the support of the community.

It is not important that someone decorate their announcement thread for getting the success but the loyalty of the developers is more important. But there are some people who when look at an attractive announcement then they do not feel bored to study on that thread for that reason you can redesign.

[JanpriX]

I just visited the home page for Chain of Points and noticed that we now have 13 participants for this ICO. I know that the crowdsale just started but it would be great if the team will provide more advertisement in the following days. Awareness for this project will increase because of other forms of advertisement and will attract more investors.

[CoinCajigger]

This project has a lot of potential.

The team looks a lot more solid than most of the coins you see launched here and in a very short time have accomplished a lot. Will be watching this to see it develop.

I dont think this will happen in our lifetime. The Chain is one of the most cruel and inferior cryptos I have seen on this message board, and nobody seems to be patronizing it at the moment because everyone is hyping DASH for the sake of getting a nice tight short entry.

I really agree on this.  There are several altcoin thread announcement that looks very professional but been proven to be a scam / scum project at the end.  For me I would rather have a great developer that are dedicated on their project and stay in their worlds than great graphic designer that does not know how to code or implement their whitepaper.  Though having both ( professional design and dedicated dev team) will surely boost the investors interest to the project.

That is why there is this signature campaign to bring that awareness to the bitcoin community of their offering and hopefully some on those that visit the site will puchase some shares from the ICO during the crowdfunding.
Hope this all makes sense now.

With the funds already that collected, whether the project Chain of point will be successful?
How much the minimum funds terget planned in this project?

[Wapinter]

yeah i think so dude, nowadays social media is a good media for promoting something like this, with social media investor from any country can know this great project! good luck dev!

There is also some downside on advertising in social medias. Specially in twitter there are many accounts with fake followers which doesn't make any difference or doesn't have any importance. Rather than getting some investors social media campaigns prior to ICO is good for creating early buzz. 

But we have a Twitter audit to find out if followers are real or fake.
All successful ICOs have run social media campaigns and they all have benefited with them a lot.
People usually prefer to invest in most talked about projects.Average small investors do not care to read whole whitepaper. All they gather info is from various sources and put their investment on that basis.
Small investors also play important role in making any ICO a success.

I do think so. Look at what they have done with their advertising campaign. They have enough fund to start a good campaign. ICO will raise more coin for them. Chain of points will be as strong as qtum and other cryptocurrency. I really want to trade their coin now

Yes, they have the initial capital to start a signature campaign with high pay, and it does look one of the coins has a good potential and may be considered by investors. same as the previous of qtum. so I am quite sure with Chain of Points. even after they pay with bitcoin, I also want Chain of Points have paid with their coins

You cannot compare it to Qtum because they are already having problems answering specific questions regarding the core developers and Qtum will fail because of that. If they could prove that other wrong and if it is not a scam they should prove that.
Good luck with the project and hope we will reach the target pretty soon.

[housebtc]

I think the developers get this wrong, there was little promotion before coming out for ICO, this is how things work, No matter how great your project is and if nobody knows about it, people will not contribute to be part of it. This just proof that marketing team is as important as development team

The campaign is awesome, I agree. The whole thing is quite complicated. I've watched the presentation and a small advertising video but I didn't fully understand what is the reward program. I see this is a platform helping customers and companies with different rewards like gift cards. And the platform has its own currency - point. So, it looks like something similar to ether but with a different purpose. Is that true?

[karman383]

Yes supposed team to communicated and campaign before ico is running.
I also don't understand, with that many people (team of 3 people, 3 advisors, directors 3) why not hire someone to design this thread.

[buharikx31]

I've read a lot about this technology and I am really impressed about the funcionality and this loyalty reward program. I think it's a brilliant idea to connect blockchain system with loyalty economy business

[AjithBtc]

Yes supposed team to communicated and campaign before ico is running.

Right now the design factor is not a big concern. They have been doing good and reaching users through the campaign. The program description is more than enough to understand the program and the frame work.

[Bibite]

I find this project a real good idea to transform the loyalty into the rewards, so my hat to them. It can be the next generation of rewards because it is innovative. A few PR and social media campaign will be helpfull to spread the word, at least a few PR

[olubams]

And that is the problem we are going to face, when a particular project with promising future fails, we tend to start generalizing and thats even a lesson to every developer that your mistake is not going to be paid by you alone but likewise other projects that does not even have anything to do with you because people will start being skeptical about projects. Thankfully Qtum has not started the ICO before the revelations start coming out whether its true or not, its left for investors to decide...

The project Is a good substitute for gift cards/loyalty programs, but just how will the points system work for rival companies who would like to keep their loyal customers to themselves and as a sign of goodwill.

A fair one, currently it's running and will be vary from time to time.

We will see the success of this ICO not in just a matter of short period of time but for a long period especially after the ICO. Funds raised at the moment is relatively small but like I said, it's currently running and stats will changed here and then. No minimum or exact amount to be considered.

[PO3NG]

That's why the launched their signature campaign, they want to promot thier ICO. It's quite not popular as of now, however as it is being introduce through campaigns and other advertisements, I think it's enough to be wll known by investors.

this now chain of points is ready ico selling, you can buy chain of points in tokenmarket
not wrong ussualy all altcoin before ico selling one week or one month is ready promotion coin, without promotion before ico selling, coin can't known investor

[ko0ll0ove]

This project is interesting, I've read about it since 5 days ago. They have a great team with even there are just about no more than 20 participant  but I think they still good. I've subscribe and waiting for their news and their crowdsale. Hopefully this project will be successful, because I think their marketing team has doing great their jobs, just waiting for development update.

It's because quality wins over quantity. It is plain useless if your team has a large number if they are incompetent. Yes. The

marketing team made a good decision to promote it here since most bitcoin users is here at least the knowledgeable ones do.

I will also keep watching this thread for developments and for more reward bounties as it says in the OP TBA. I'm still having

second thoughts on their ICO. Will watch more

Well, let see what's this gonna be. Though the ico will be held on march 9 2017 if I'm not mistaken. Though even me I like to participate in the ico investors if that is possible. So far don't have any idea about the price value of chain.

That's what actually I noticed from this campaign, I was wondering why this campaign will run for 2 weeks period only then ICO next instantly. Does chain points has already a windows wallet or what?

There is no doubt that the project concept is a good idea but the time in my opinion was wrong, most people don't know about the project until Yahoo started their signature campaign, they should have been active on social media, online news platform and this forum for some weeks before starting the ICO. The 9BTC raised so far means they got somethings wrong when projects like WeTrust could raised more than 1000BTC on the first day

[DonApp]

Many questions raised here, but no respons from OP? More information is needed!

There is another bounty besides signature campaig, translation and article bounty? dev should considering to open Social Media bounty, twitter campaign is one of bounty that's can promote this project more, for bounty translation and article chain of points give a big reward.

You understood it wrong, he doesn't want to ask anything. He just asks why OP didn't response yet with the questions have been asked. If you think you can answer these question, go to previous page and try to answer. (OP isn't online again since 3 days ago, he might be busy with his project).

[shield132]

At first it's good to see non asian market. Than, my advice for staff is to be active here, 25% until 5 march is good for investors but somehow only 9 btc was raised. Project is good and it deserves more but when people says here that marketing team isn't good, it's not 100% right because some days ago we saw that one popular ico in reality was scam and to my mind that caused small investment in this ico. Hope second week will be good for chain of points, be more active and it will doubly help your team.

[slapper]

There is another bounty besides signature campaig, translation and article bounty? dev should considering to open Social Media bounty, twitter campaign is one of bounty that's can promote this project more, for bounty translation and article chain of points give a big reward.

signature campaign is not bounty. it is a way to advertise the campaign and i appreciate what the OP is doing. This signature campaign has 100 participants and it is very big. Therefore, other bounties are not necessary. Focus on one field and you will achieve many benefits. That is one of the biggest strategy in marketing. Anyway, Chain of points will be successful.

[Wapinter]

I feel the op lack certain basic things which investors usually look before investing.
1.No detailed roadmap is given in op.
2.Whitepaper link is missing (or did I miss it).
3.Ico period with bonus is also nowhere mentioned in op.
These may be, IMO,reasons for lukewarm response to this project.

[examplens]

probably need more promotion, because there you have only 15 participants and raised 9 BTC for now.
may not be the best time to start because there we have a few big ICO like WeTrust.
I hope that ChainOfPoint will go into right way and meet expectations of devs. team

Chain of Points (POINTS)
Transforming Loyalty Into Rewards
ChainOfPoints.com

COIN SALE IS NOW LIVE AT TOKEN MARKET

Digital currency is creating new ways for people to store and exchange value. Using blockchain technology it is now possible to redefine the loyalty economy which can have a tremendous positive impact for both businesses and consumers globally. Chain of Points is a dedicated digital currency designed to address the current problems faced by the loyalty industry.

Chain of Points creates new loyalty methods for businesses.

Chain of Points creates new reward incentives for consumers.

Chain of Points is… Modernizing the rewards industry.

Chain of Points unlocks the power of blockchain technology to revolutionize loyalty programs. Loyalty programs represent a multibillion dollar industry and the consumer enrollment is steadily increasing, while the actual participation and loyalty redemption is dropping significantly. To bridge this imbalance, Chain of Points is introducing the POINTS token.


Chain of Points For Business:
POINTS is a blockchain-based token that provides a simple and flexible solution to Merchants and Customers in loyalty rewards space. Merchants need turn-key and inexpensive loyalty programs to retain and grow their customer base, while Customers are looking for liquidity and one-button solutions to all their reward programs. Chain of Points provides a turnkey platform powered by the Chain of Points Blockchain that transforms any rewards program into an effective Loyalty tool.


Chain of Points For Consumers:

All-in-one digital solutions are becoming significantly more appealing to Consumers, as compared to the various existing loyalty card programs. The usability, small implementation cost, along with the comprehensive and accessible free market (inherent in a decentralized system such as Chain of Points) makes this solution very attractive to small and home business owners. A powerful API also helps make Chain of Points com- patible with the more sophisticated workflow of medium-sized and big businesses. The Chain of Points provides Customer satisfaction by providing liquidity of their rewards, and tailored loyalty.

The Chain of Points difference…

POINTS incorporates cryptocurrency functionality programmed to act as the technical backbone of the loyalty and gift card industries. These to- kens can be used to promise, redeem, and transfer rewards from Merchant to Customer, Customer to Customer, and even Merchant to Merchant. The comprehensive cryptographic workings native to the Chain of Points blockchain also offer ways to fully and flexibly create gift cards, tokens, and even general legal contracts by using our own easy-to-understand language for implementing Ricardian Contracts. A Delegated Proof-of-Stake-based consensus algorithm is used to validate transactions in the network, mak- ing the system truly scalable and on a par with the transaction speeds of established financial services such as VISA.


Chain of Points Technology
Chain of Points leverages digital currency while transforming loyalty into rewards that are easier, better and more cost effective for everyone.

Chain of Points has created tradable tokens called POINTS. POINTS are built using blockchain technology, offering a solution that anyone can understand and use in a matter of minutes. POINTS provide a stable and scalable solution that benefits the producers and companies (hereafter referred to as Merchants) as well as their Customers.

Chain of Points is designed to be a speedy and lightweight solution that would allow businesses to focus on their goals, and let the technology function under the hood. This is why we employ a new and promising Delegated Proof-of-Stake-based blockchain validation algorithm. One reason for this cutting-edge design choice is that the algorithm can handle at least as many transactions per second as NASDAQ claims on average. So if you decide to use Chain of Points, you can bet it will be a smooth experience.


POINTS
A maximum of 100,000,000 POINTS will be in circulation. 30% of those POINTS will be pre-mined. Out of those, 21 million will be offered in an Initial Crowd Sale.

Chain of Points with its POINTS token has created a turn-key, universally adapt- able Loyalty Rewards system that can be simply implemented for any size business. Liquidity and ability to trade POINTS provides an unprecedented solution to Mer- chants and Customers implementing Loyalty Rewards programs.

Businesses wishing to stay ahead of their competition must must primarily use their resources in a smart way. Instead of wasting time and money building classical loyalty programs which are fundamentally unsuited to younger generations, invest it in furthering your main goals, and let Chain of Points handle loyalty altogether.

Join the Chain of Points community and join the new way of transforming loyalty into rewards.

Visit ChainOfPoints.com for more detailed information.


Chain of Points Community

We want to welcome as many people to the Chain of Points community as we can. Part of this effort is to allow people to earn POINTS as rewards such as bounties. We are offering the following reward bounties:

Signature campaign thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1801121.0

Translation Bounties: 1000 POINTS per language
Article Bounties: 1000 POINTS per approved post

More rewards will be announced very soon. Bounty POINTS will be available at the end of the pre-sale period when tokens become available.

We will be replying to bounty inquiries in the order they are received.

Thanks ICO for having me, thank you for giving me your blessing to join this campaign, its a privelege to me.Long live ICO!

The concept of POINTS is good as the limited supply is surely going to get it evaluated at the best pace, as well as the technology behind it, if proves itself as described, then this will get the attention of many more investors in future. I would like to know that is Indian Language reserved for translation yet or not? If not, I would like to translate the OP to Hindi.

Not to be rude, but who are you? I prefer answers from OP, since I do not know whether you are an official member from the CoP crew? I guess this is already a hint towards a question that needs to be clarified Furthermore; look back in the previous posts and there are plenty of unanswered questions.

according to the main idea of Chain of Points which refers or targeting many of people would understand by easy way in using it, as you said that the concepts of point is good as the limitted supply, but in managering the prospect or progress as this project i believe that not only on the medium or higher level of industries but we need to realize the medium and high rate of business is start from zero. cause of that it would on of the wise thing if this opinion including to consider

[ReLieD]

Being a part of this campaign I would like to work very hard in promoting chain of points and would like to be a part of this till the end of this campaign.

[conected]

- I think this will be the potential projects and development, Chain of Points based on technology blockchain combined with the professional team, I think ability to succeed is very large, maybe I will invest, but now I need more information about it. I want to know " how much is the estimated value of 1000 points?" (1000 point=???btc)

[DiamondCardz]

Even though I have a Chain of Points signature I'm going to try to be relatively unbiased here. Why is the thread self-moderated? I don't think self-moderation and holding an initial offering go very hand in hand, I think you'd have better luck increasing trust in your surface without it.

[asuryan180]

The crowd funding has begun,it would be interesting to see if things go well,I like the coin and the concept is pretty nice but my main concern is if the coin has got a lot of attention for the crowd funding to be successful-I really hope it turns out great.That will be the first challenge for the coin.

[Pattberry]

I agree with you that social media bounties like twitter facebook and google campaigns are effective and most of the successful ICOs have done that and made a huge difference in the amount of money created during the ICOs i would suggest to left no stone unturned when you are looking for a successful ICO.

[Clement Kaliyar]

Many questions raised here, but no respons from OP? More information is needed!

You can contact the team in their official slack channel and they would help you out with all the information you need.I hope they will be active here and explain everyone here but it is better to catch them in their official channel rather than waiting for their answer.

[whizter]

Being a part of this campaign I would like to work very hard in promoting chain of points and would like to be a part of this till the end of this campaign.

yes that is very right to say. i think i also have the safe strategy and i will also like to participate in promoting their ICO with the dept of my heart. and hope that it will be a very much successful ICO

[Jianx]

Chain Projects This place is very nice but if dev is not often active in forums and marketing strategies less funds will be less for this month only too many  projects ICO.hopefully successful

[lenyro]

Actually this project lacks of more campaign, only signature campaign is not enough, social media campaign and translation campaign are required too, funding ain't going well, be cautious.

[sportis]

Can anyone explain to me how exactly this works? I understand that the Points tokens are used in loyalty programs, but how is this a universal solution? Are customers given these tokens as a reward or are these tokens used to buy in the same way as vouchers?

Hi no, so as a consumer, you will probably never see POINTS tokens. The POINTS blockchain works like a contract issuance platform. You create contracts, for example a loyalty contract that says the companies loyalty points are redeemable for Y products, with X expiry date, etc. The blockchain can execute this LEGAL contract. What it does is it executes it (evaluates the contracts clauses or terms and conditions) and based on the results can perform operations.

If Solidity is general purpose language, the POINTS execution language is a specific type of query/reasoner language that evaluates the contract and performs other operations.

In addition, the POINTS blockchain has methods for redeeming lost POINTS tokens and a universal protocol for communicating with Oracles.

So the blockchain can be used for issuing any simple legal contract, not just loyalty schemes but any financial instrument and other simple commercial contracts like car warranties.

However, all the Contract templates we are building as a company and all the UI's we are building are for the loyalty industry. This is what the industry needs to compete with companies like Amex, which are becoming the universal protocol for the loyalty industry.

If this doesn't make sense please ask what parts need to be clarified, I want people to understand why this is such an amazing project. In our opinion Ethereum is too general for what we need it to do, and BTC isn't meant to be an issuance platform. This solves our needs for a platform to tie in to our loyalty system.   

So apart from companies like is the AMEX the POINTS could be used as a contract of a normal customer with an insurance company. That includes the home, health and car insurance industry. Is that right? So good customers for example in car insurance who do not often cause accidents will have more benefits than others. Maybe it is and an alternative way of reward.

[layoutph]

Hi, the OP said ,Chains of Points is now available at the Token Markets..

May I know the token markets and their websites? Thanks

[--DarkSecrets--]

Actually this project lacks of more campaign, only signature campaign is not enough, social media campaign and translation campaign are required too, funding ain't going well, be cautious.

A project like this doesn't always depends on a Campaign , it needs more aspects to be taken .
Requiring more advertisement and advertisers in social media doesn't mean you will get a much investor who will be part of your ICO. There are many things to consider especially in the application or use of this project in the future that the investor will be attracted and willing to support . The success of this ICO will be the best projects made not in the campaign .

[Dewi08]

Is there an extension of the signature campaign for the project, after the campaign runs for two weeks .. 

[buwaytress]

Greetings all. Seems a fair amount of issues have been raised and most of us would be anxiously waiting for an update - myself am vested in as much as I'm helping to promote as a signature campaign participant.

If you haven't already, do sign up for updates. OP in this forum hasn't been active for 4 days now so we may get direct feeds from emails.

As it stands, 12 hours remain for anyone wishing to receive 25% bonus of POINTS tokens from the ICO as early adopters. As it stands, 17 contributors raising 9.48 BTC (>$12,000).

[Theb]

From what my understanding with Chain of Points ICO is they are launching an altcoin which is named POINTS which will function as a reward system to the consumers who buy to them. The question is what rewards will the consumer get from collecting POINTS? Because I am still on the verge of finding out. 

[dustboy]

Is there an extension of the signature campaign for the project, after the campaign runs for two weeks .. 

Yahoo has just said that the campaign is paused after the first payment some time ago. Probably they need to think or evaluate the way they want to advertise the project to be more effective.

Yes thats true that success in the ICO will be the best so need to do a social media campaign. Its best thing is they have signature campaign this is the main important because many investor in altcoins are here in bitcointalk forum.

[solix]

CoP folks (if you read this thread often)

As you are probably well aware BTC tx'es are seriously backlogged. It took 3+ days to confirm a tx I sent to your crowdfunding campaign. The intermediary broker for your token sale said addresses expire after 24 hours. Now what?

Thanks.

But there's no assurance that we get many investors regarding in this idea, What if this idea will be successful to invite more investor to invest in Chain of points? What if this suggestion is the key to success our ICO in Chain Of Points.

Not really, more campaign and promotion will not attract investors .because if the projects of this altcoin is to good to be true and have a good possibilities to attract the market it will be successful , what i conclude is regardless how many investors will be if the project is loss and there are no support from the the dev it will only end in a disappointment .The continous projects along its road and the adoptation of a company who will be the base will have a big chance like ethereum altcoins before.

The project is not funding well because you started the ICO after you published the OP, you rushed too much for fund, you should make 1 month pre-marketing campaign here. Learn from other ICOs.

I think its not a problem Not all are the same way of marketing methods it will be still depends how you are actually spreading the announcement or news about this altcoin and how you can get large number of visitors. more impressions.. not only here in forum i think entire internet.. if you have referral system i think they can get referral by other country..

[DonApp]

They might have not planned to increase popularity through signature campaign. At the final stage they might have decided for a signature campaign. This seems to be the cause for the lack of funding.

What is the minimum target  btc set for the ICO?

I don't know, about anyone said:

A fair one, currently it's running and will be vary from time to time.

We will see the success of this ICO not in just a matter of short period of time but for a long period especially after the ICO. Funds raised at the moment is relatively small but like I said, it's currently running and stats will changed here and then. No minimum or exact amount to be considered.

Can OP give the update on this one?

[kakade]

Waiting Chain of Points more informations
thanks

[gandame]

The project is not funding well because you started the ICO after you published the OP, you rushed too much for fund, you should make 1 month pre-marketing campaign here. Learn from other ICOs.

They might have not planned to increase popularity through signature campaign. At the final stage they might have decided for a signature campaign. This seems to be the cause for the lack of funding.

Well we have no exact idea of whats their plan for this ICO and of course I will not criticize as long as their campaign brings good benefit to me, I am very gratefull to be a part of this team. There is no need to increase popularity for signature campaign because profit will just be visible in a right time.

[barnes13]

What is the minimum target  btc set for the ICO?

I don't see at the OP say about the threshold or minimum target to be succesfull ICO, I only see 21,000,000 token offer for the ICO and see at the Chainofpoints site 25k satoshi every 1 token,  developer need more active to answer question from member in this forum.

[Bellator]

Actually this project lacks of more campaign, only signature campaign is not enough, social media campaign and translation campaign are required too, funding ain't going well, be cautious.

A project like this doesn't always depends on a Campaign , it needs more aspects to be taken .
Requiring more advertisement and advertisers in social media doesn't mean you will get a much investor who will be part of your ICO. There are many things to consider especially in the application or use of this project in the future that the investor will be attracted and willing to support . The success of this ICO will be the best projects made not in the campaign .

Yes thats true that success in the ICO will be the best so need to do a social media campaign. Its best thing is they have signature campaign this is the main important because many investor in altcoins are here in bitcointalk forum.

I agree that we need to add more campaign so that we encourage many investors in or out in this Bitcointalk forum. But there's no assurance that we get many investors regarding in this idea, What if this idea will be successful to invite more investor to invest in Chain of points? What if this suggestion is the key to success our ICO in Chain Of Points.

Not really, more campaign and promotion will not attract investors .because if the projects of this altcoin is to good to be true and have a good possibilities to attract the market it will be successful , what i conclude is regardless how many investors will be if the project is loss and there are no support from the the dev it will only end in a disappointment .The continous projects along its road and the adoptation of a company who will be the base will have a big chance like ethereum altcoins before.

Yeah But if other investor not know that there is a project that good to be true, we need more campaign to let them know that there's an investment like this. We need more campaign to introduce this project to many people so that many people would be curious about it and let them search if this project is true.

The Chainofpoints team/dev have't give some update here, where he is going on?

Their twitter account is still active but too bad they did not give a bump for the project on this thread. The crowdsale seems to be not as what they expected so far. Almost two weeks since the crowdsale start, but only 9+btc is being collected so far. It is not a good progress IMHO, they should do something for a success.

They also stopped their signature campaign just after a week. Without those kinds of advertisements, there's no way that people will be aware that an ICO like this is happening. Potential investors will also find it hard to invest their money when the OP isn't even posting much in his/her thread to give updates for it. They should change their approach to their project if they want this to be a successful one.

Chain of Points (POINTS)
Transforming Loyalty Into Rewards
ChainOfPoints.com

COIN SALE IS NOW LIVE AT TOKEN MARKET

Digital currency is creating new ways for people to store and exchange value. Using blockchain technology it is now possible to redefine the loyalty economy which can have a tremendous positive impact for both businesses and consumers globally. Chain of Points is a dedicated digital currency designed to address the current problems faced by the loyalty industry.

Chain of Points creates new loyalty methods for businesses.

Chain of Points creates new reward incentives for consumers.

Chain of Points is… Modernizing the rewards industry.

Chain of Points unlocks the power of blockchain technology to revolutionize loyalty programs. Loyalty programs represent a multibillion dollar industry and the consumer enrollment is steadily increasing, while the actual participation and loyalty redemption is dropping significantly. To bridge this imbalance, Chain of Points is introducing the POINTS token.


Chain of Points For Business:
POINTS is a blockchain-based token that provides a simple and flexible solution to Merchants and Customers in loyalty rewards space. Merchants need turn-key and inexpensive loyalty programs to retain and grow their customer base, while Customers are looking for liquidity and one-button solutions to all their reward programs. Chain of Points provides a turnkey platform powered by the Chain of Points Blockchain that transforms any rewards program into an effective Loyalty tool.


Chain of Points For Consumers:

All-in-one digital solutions are becoming significantly more appealing to Consumers, as compared to the various existing loyalty card programs. The usability, small implementation cost, along with the comprehensive and accessible free market (inherent in a decentralized system such as Chain of Points) makes this solution very attractive to small and home business owners. A powerful API also helps make Chain of Points com- patible with the more sophisticated workflow of medium-sized and big businesses. The Chain of Points provides Customer satisfaction by providing liquidity of their rewards, and tailored loyalty.

The Chain of Points difference…

POINTS incorporates cryptocurrency functionality programmed to act as the technical backbone of the loyalty and gift card industries. These to- kens can be used to promise, redeem, and transfer rewards from Merchant to Customer, Customer to Customer, and even Merchant to Merchant. The comprehensive cryptographic workings native to the Chain of Points blockchain also offer ways to fully and flexibly create gift cards, tokens, and even general legal contracts by using our own easy-to-understand language for implementing Ricardian Contracts. A Delegated Proof-of-Stake-based consensus algorithm is used to validate transactions in the network, mak- ing the system truly scalable and on a par with the transaction speeds of established financial services such as VISA.


Chain of Points Technology
Chain of Points leverages digital currency while transforming loyalty into rewards that are easier, better and more cost effective for everyone.

Chain of Points has created tradable tokens called POINTS. POINTS are built using blockchain technology, offering a solution that anyone can understand and use in a matter of minutes. POINTS provide a stable and scalable solution that benefits the producers and companies (hereafter referred to as Merchants) as well as their Customers.

Chain of Points is designed to be a speedy and lightweight solution that would allow businesses to focus on their goals, and let the technology function under the hood. This is why we employ a new and promising Delegated Proof-of-Stake-based blockchain validation algorithm. One reason for this cutting-edge design choice is that the algorithm can handle at least as many transactions per second as NASDAQ claims on average. So if you decide to use Chain of Points, you can bet it will be a smooth experience.


POINTS
A maximum of 100,000,000 POINTS will be in circulation. 30% of those POINTS will be pre-mined. Out of those, 21 million will be offered in an Initial Crowd Sale.

Chain of Points with its POINTS token has created a turn-key, universally adapt- able Loyalty Rewards system that can be simply implemented for any size business. Liquidity and ability to trade POINTS provides an unprecedented solution to Mer- chants and Customers implementing Loyalty Rewards programs.

Businesses wishing to stay ahead of their competition must must primarily use their resources in a smart way. Instead of wasting time and money building classical loyalty programs which are fundamentally unsuited to younger generations, invest it in furthering your main goals, and let Chain of Points handle loyalty altogether.

Join the Chain of Points community and join the new way of transforming loyalty into rewards.

Visit ChainOfPoints.com for more detailed information.


Chain of Points Community

We want to welcome as many people to the Chain of Points community as we can. Part of this effort is to allow people to earn POINTS as rewards such as bounties. We are offering the following reward bounties:

Signature campaign thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1801121.0

Translation Bounties: 1000 POINTS per language
Article Bounties: 1000 POINTS per approved post

More rewards will be announced very soon. Bounty POINTS will be available at the end of the pre-sale period when tokens become available.

We will be replying to bounty inquiries in the order they are received.

thank you for giving me an oppurtunity to join this signature campaign. long live!

[cjmoles]

Well, I'm invested in this one.  The Ricardian contracts sold me....I'm just hoping that the project gets enough funding to be sustainable....it may be a bit too complex for the average altcoin investor to entertain, but the concept is great and well thought out by the team.

[sri.bima]

They aren't available social media campaign maybe have some investors that are considered to be sufficient to help the projects that they develop 

[stue]

less 10 bitcoin totals investation. how many minimals ICo target???

I really hope that the dev team of ChainOfPoints will show some hint of progress or some sort of developments here.
They already invested a good chunk of money from their 1-week long sig campaign.
Will be checking this again as it has some promising features being a consumer that desires for loyalty rewards, and take note, it is powered by blockchain.

[cjmoles]

Checking in to see what's happening here.  Any news?  Maybe somebody should organize a social media campaign to get this project out into the public....

[xspresso]

I think this is the case with the majority of blockchain projects out there, they focus on the technology but underestimate the communication with their audience.

[altcoinrich]

it is so quite now, how is the crowdsale going? After the signature campaign ended we seldom see the thread is active.

[8489faustn]

So any news on the project now that the ico is over?

[CryptoSmile]

I also haven't see the updates after crowdsale is over, maybe the team still calculations and prepare for released.

[DonApp]

I think this project was completely mismanaged. Together with a lack of communication and PR it has turned out to be a complete failure. Pity for such an interesting project...

[4rzun4]

Please updated some news, this project is delay or will be continued

[anehh]

In Slack channel @shidan said will be updating tonight,
Still Waiting for updated and next step

[cjmoles]

Bumping this thread....has anybody been in contact with the team?  Is anybody here still invested?  The project was put on hold but was supposed to restart sometime this month....right?

EDIT:

From slack:

 cjmoles [10:22 PM]
Anybody here?  Project being worked on?

shidan [10:24 PM]
Yes and coming along well, we will be sending an update before the month is up

[8489faustn]

Well, that is good to see. Believe they said that the new release day would be in September, so they still have some time to deliver. However, i am looking forward to the update before the end of this month.

[cjmoles]

Yes, glad to see that they are taking their time to get this right. I think it was a good move to delay the launch when it became apparent that their plans weren't going as well as anticipated.  This space moves so quickly that a few months can provide an enormous amount of valuable data that can be utilized to optimize the project....measure twice and cut once, right?

Received this in an email....so.....looks like something's being done.

"Dear backers and supporters,                                                                                                                 Aug 16 at 11:28 PM

This note is to update you on the Chain of Points blockchain project.

In our last update, sent April 6th, we mentioned that we anticipated that the we would have mainnet and our source-code repositories ready for September. We are still on track for this.

We would like to also inform you that we are exploring a number of cryptocurrency exchanges and will be applying to get the POINTS token listed on Yobit as soon as the blockchain explorer and our initial node is up and running, in the next few weeks. We will be distributing tokens to all purchasers before we list the token, in the case that any exchange accepts our application."

It was a scam....they took the money and ran ---> Didn't even distribute the worthless tokens.... They tried to play it off  and string us along for months until they finally disappeared altogether.  This was the worst of the worse of all my investments.

The more the loyalty points the more I need to keep a tab on what is stored where! This looks like a solution- https://medium.com/@RajPhani/loyalty-programs-making-those-points-count-10212587f63c
