Almost forgot that I had an investment into Particl.
So...still enjoying the crowdsale fund ?
Guess next roadmap step is taking a full summer break.
P.S. : So much political and emotional steps, yet nothing came to lights since 2 months.
Take another 6 months at this point while saying you have a full fledged team working soooooooo hard on the product.
There's a testnet coming live today. Also everyone should create their addresses as soon as possible: https://particl.io/users/Why I see this in my dashboard? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fz5Tf1vi.png&t=665&c=1mST0NXGyYR3tw) I invested in BTC

I kept forgetting as well, I wound up sell my part's to a member of their slack so I would stop worrying about it. Litebit provided escrow, and it went smoothly. That being said, the project is solid, there is a testnet coming to allow a taste of whats to come and I wish this project the best ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Why I see this in my dashboard? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fz5Tf1vi.png&t=665&c=1mST0NXGyYR3tw) I invested in BTC If you invested only in BTC, that might be the reason. During the token exchange, BTC were used on top of exchanged SDC, so if you haven't sent in any SDC, that might be it. In that case you should contact the team (on Slack or Riot) and figure out your next steps together. @entertainment did you get a support ticket from particl.io and has support been working through your balance updates? I'm assuming you were in the group of BTC over-funders who sent more BTC than the dashboard was telling you? If not please reach out to hello@particl.io and we'll help get this figured out. Just a note: all folks who support has been working with on fixing your PART balances because of either donating directly to our transparency addresses or overfunding your account with BTC leading to a shortage of SDC needed for PART 1:1 conversion, we'll be doing your PART distribution manually because we've been handling each case manually. The rest of the contributors are handled automatically by the exchange platform.

There is Openbazaar which now accepts altcoins. There is SYS market. We have Bitbay market.
Why do you think Particl will be something new and successful? I do not see much potential in this project.
Particl can offer trustless 2 person escrow (MAD), privacy via CT, passive income with native token and staking, self-governance via decentralized voting, Native Segwit vs activated Segwit (or no Segwit). Keep in mind the market is 1 component of the Particl platform. Generating a comparison without the market in tester's hands is all speculation until features are actually in front of users. Hope that helps ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I have a simple question, Particl will be a decentralized eCommerce platform. The buyer and seller info are all anonymous. Then how to be sure that the seller will send the products to buyer ? and there will be a guarantor?I just a little bit confused.....

Particl Market will have a 2-party trustless escrow based around the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) Escrow. We have a good primer for it in our whitepaper: https://github.com/particl/whitepaper/blob/master/decentralized-private-marketplace-draft-0.1.pdfThis is an escrow between 2 parties with no 3rd party moderation or fee. Section IV.c explains the "Insurance deposits" concept that make this possible. Insurance deposits are set by the seller and can range from 0-100% of the value of the item being sold.

Hah, thats the kind of stuff I'll be reading through tomorrow morning with a coffee. I was very afraid of where my 50$ investment went due to the lack of updates in this topic but you guys just restored my faith in the operation. Keep it up.

Where we've been:Amazon is 22 years old, eBay is 21. The online services we use are increasingly demanding more of our personal data, a disturbing trend. Corporate entities such as Google and Facebook have grown to extraordinary sizes solely by monetizing on user data. These entities are charged with keeping said data secure and, in the case of social and economic interactions, safeguarding the privacy. This approach of centralized security models is not applicable to the new generation of technologies such as Bitcoin. Where we're going:Satoshi Nakamoto had initially created a marketplace which was included in the official Bitcoin codebase but was stripped out later on. The concept of a decentralized marketplace in itself is not novel, there have been a small set of academic constructions and even serious attempts at creating them. ( OpenBazaar, BitMarkets, Beaver, DropZone) They either propose solutions that scale extremely well and neglect the privacy implications, or they propose very privacy conscious solutions that do not scale well. Privacy and efficiency are often at odds with each other. "to hide the signal you must generate noise". -Ido Kaiser Tor exemplifies this well, the traffic is pushed through various nodes with several layers of encryption before arriving at its destination, it is deliberately inefficient but the privacy provided by the trade off is well worth it. And then there's governance and how do you attach a self-governance mechanism on a decentralized network? The issue of governance on decentralized models is already starting to become a hot button for blockchain platforms. How we get there:Particl is an open source, decentralized privacy platform built for global person to person eCommerce. The native marketplace, currency tokens and suite of encrypted communication tools offer unfettered access between buyers and sellers worldwide or just down the street. You can buy or sell anything, similar to eBay, Etsy or Amazon, except that all the transaction data, payments and conversations happen over a self-governed, distributed network instead of a central server. Think of it as going to a local market to buy something you need, from the person who is actually selling it, without a third person's permission, "service" or fee required for the sale to happen. PART is the native 2-token currency in Particl. Users have a choice when sending money on the distributed ledger. Pseudo-anonymous transactions use a public token and truly-anonymous transactions use a private token. Particl will be currency agnostic, meaning it will support the use of many cryptocurrencies with the intent of being an inclusive platform. A decentralized privacy platform focused on free markets cannot be limited by its own built-in token system. Our goal is to lower barriers of entry and reduce friction in online shopping, allowing for easier adoption by buyers and vendors anywhere in the world. The very nature of a free-market built on a distributed network immediately brings up the question of governance. To get right to the point, Particl is being built with protection to ensure the market does not become an ultimate version of silk road. Our main focus is researching self-governance models that can be adapted to a decentralized network. The self-governance model for Particl will have two components to it: - Platform Governance. Protection against illegal goods. "How do we protect the platform?"
- Privacy Governance. Providing user privacy. "How do we protect the users?"

What technology is Particl built with?Particl is based on the latest and market-leading Bitcoin codebase. We are currently adding the privacy functionality from ShadowCash onto the Bitcoin Core 13.2 codebase but with .14 released in March it is highly likely that by the time we create the Particl genesis block we will be on Bitcoin Core .14 codebase. Will there be a token exchange for PART?A seed round is scheduled to start March 18th, 2017 and last 4 weeks. During this time existing ShadowCash token holders can exchange SDC for PART. To participate in the Particl token exchange, you must have ShadowCash (SDC) tokens. Please visit https://particl.io for investment inquiries and information.

As long as it's worth more than the 5 USD per Part it's ok ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I do believe it will be much more in the long run anyway.
