[ANN] Bancor | Protocol for Smart-tokens, solving the liquidity problem

[n00b3rt]

Failed to get in through the ICO, I sure hope the prices on exchanges tomorrow are reasonable.

If not, at least I got some TaaS (which is around 10% Bancor)

Excited to see bancor listed tomorrow. I am going to buy some bancor. Hopefully, it won't be more expensive than 0.02 eth

This is a very difficult problem. On the one hand, of course you want everything decentralized and out of the founding team's hands. On the other, if shit hits the fan, you're looking to the founding/dev team to fix things. I can see it being a tough spot for the team. But more communication on this matter would definitely be appreciated - what's the longer term plan for removing these controls, etc.

> As we detailed in the recent Learning from TheDAO post, our plan is to activate the BNT pilot carefully and gradually while keeping the minimum required amount of ETH in the contract at first. We may need to temporarily turn-off the Bancor protocol (i.e. direct smart contract trading) during the pilot period if technical or other unforeseen concerns dictate it. We will announce all developments in our channels. **This is part of our strategy to centralize some aspects of the software development until such time as both the Bancor protocol and the Ethereum blockchain are ready for smart tokens to be immutably locked and thrive on their own**

This is gonna be hard for the normal investors, what i mean is people who are not so inclined using MEW, i suggest don`t try to mingle with your token if your not sure on what you do, wait for the web app that is much easier as stated on the blog.

I hope this succeeds, but honestly, I passed on this because of this specific reason.   How do they expect to gain greater adoption if you you have to jump through 50 hoops to execute a trade?  People just want to put in a price and click buy or sell.   Why the overcomplication?

It won't stay that way for long. They're gonna create a web application that makes this process easy to use. See https://app.demo.bancor.network/discover for a demo.

Other alternatives people can just trade in exchanges.
But buying through smart contract help alot by increasing the value.

Though the steps are a bit involved initially, it will simplify over time with apps. Early adopters have an edge. Just consider how incredible it is to be able to buy and sell (eventually any token) through a smart contract!

Totally agree with you, but it is going to be plenty people who's jumping on exchanges first to dump their little x2-x3 ... profit and jump to another ico.

Its okay then arbitrage will bring till equilibrium the price between smart contract and exchanges.


Dumping in exchanges just them passing the token to other people.
If they liquidate through smart contract, that gonna destroyed the token, thus bring the number in circulation down and value down too.
