VERITASEUM DISCUSSION THREAD

[davs]

I don't know of any future bounty program but I suspect of there is budget for such program, then I suggest to allocate some small amount on revamping the website appearance/design to make it more modern.

Having an attractive website IS a form of marketing, a form of a marketer spreading the words. And this is not supposed to be overlooked if Veritaseum believes in good marketing.

No, I don't think having an attractive-looking website needs to be expensive. The skills required for web designing are easy (at least far easier than programming skills). And there are plenty of services that actually help design great-looking websites for a tiny sum of money or even free (ref www.wix.com). Veritaseum should capitalize on such services.

So far the feedback I encountered about the website is that it's "straight out of 2002" or something like that.

The website can wait. They are working hard behind the scenes to get the actual services in place - to get a jumpstart on the competition! Anything beyond that is a distraction at this stage. I feel sorry for those who make decisions based on the attractiveness of a website. As the old saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover."

That being said, an attractive-looking, secure and fast website will definitely be a bonus! 

Not just a bonus, in todays world it's a must. Visual identity, that is a recognizable logo and a decent website is something that this project/brand needs badly. Now it's the perfect time to sell some ether coins from the presale and hire a firm that knows how to do this.

Veritaseum is like Apple (when Steve Jobs was taking the lead).

I don't know why, but Clif High and his website also came to mind: https://www.halfpasthuman.com/

He mentioned Veritaseum in a single sentence in this report... sitting like a solid rock on mine

It reminds me of that song: "solid as a rock"

You guys put too much emphasis on websites, in my opinion, at least in regards to icos.look at the site that we're on now. It's straight out of the 90s, but tak3 note of where you choose to do your business. On that note, the la do g page has been redesigned since the Offering. Go to http://Veritaseum.com.

Nice! Looks much better! *thumbsup*
You know Reggie, Bill Gates garage was probably not the best place for him finding investors. Only young nerds in that time understood the importance but could only offer him a ride on their skateboard.

Yes.  Too much emphasis on websites and not enough consideration for the value added activities happening behind the scenes.  The website looks fine to me.  Website demanding folks gotta recognize they are NOT, let me repeat, NOT the target audience at this point.  IMO peeps just have to go with the flow for now and stop distracting Reggie from his important work.

Looking for information on some alert service to find out when VERI will hit the big exchanges. Don;t want to rely on word of mouth. How do we get first jump on this information?

[stereotype]

You guys put too much emphasis on websites...

Personally, no, but many thousands of others do/will.

[naaktslak5]

Will the rest of the Veritas coins be sold to institutions or will they hit the exchange when Veritaseum is on a large exchange?

[AltCity]

You guys put too much emphasis on websites...

Personally, no, but many thousands of others do/will.

Here's my opinion, a website can be great and the underlaying technology can be vaporware. I personally was able to use the P2P platform when it was released years ago. It blew my mind and I was psyched to see it advance and get more users. The missing piece was there was no way to monetize the use, it was peer to peer based on bitcoin. I am expecting that the next iteration will revolve around use of the VERI tokens and this will demonstrate value in having tokens.

I am interested in veritaseum based on their history of working technology. Could they have a flashier website? Sure, would it have increased the participation in the crowdsale, yes maybe, and your stake would be lower because of that and a higher float.

Great take-AltCity nails it with logic

[naaktslak5]

is there a veritaseum slack channel?

Agreed Reggie ... we should be talking about the Veritas.PanCarib   http://veritas.veritaseum.com/index.php/21-veritas-pancarib-what-would-the-euro-look-like-if-it-actually-worked



and all the exciting possibilities in the future but I guess there will always be trolls and another group I term "wing clippers" ... they have this uncontrollable desire to clip anyone and everyone's wings (oh and for the millennial: I am not talking about real physical wings) ... they go to a message board like this with a captive audience and proceed to clip any and everybody's wings under the guise of "helping" ... I don't need any of that kind of "help" ... I just made the best investment of my lifetime past and present and probably future: Veritaseum Veritas

I said to Masiah that the bounty sheet should be made public for transparency sake, I was given 7.2 veri token for twitter bounty and I believe something is quite wrong with the calculation because 50,000 tokens was allocated to bounty campaigns out of which 20% of it go to twitter that is 10,000 token. So it is not possible for me to have 7 tokens out of 10,000 tokens because I was in the campaign for more than 4 weeks.

If the spreadsheet is not made public I will need to report to the moderator on the forum to see to this.

What I don't understand here is why Masiah decided to hide all the bounty stakes informtion. Please for transparency sake make the bounty sheet public for all to see

I don't appreciate being threatened. Go ahead and report to the moderator, and you will never do business with us again. The bounty pool was for "up to $50k". We can't simple put a static $50k in the pool without knowing the partiipants, because one person (like you) can show up and literally expect $50k for sending a dozen tweets.
What's so egregious is that you were compensated $700 for sending a few twets, and you are a super influential celebrity, nor do you have 60,000 followers, yet you complain and threaten.

The allocation has a subjective component to it because we need to ascertaian whether a true effort was made on our behalf, and whether tha effort waa actually and materially additive to the project. When there is signifiant gray area, we have erred on the side of generosity. Speaking of which, you were paid $700 for a few Tweets, and your threatening us!

We have decided to extend the bounty program since the alotment has not be siffciently consumed (less than 80 people participated, I believe - but I'm not sure), but we don't want to attract the type who want to extort us because we won't pay more than $700 fora few Tweets to a very limited audience.
