Rise of the community coins - Will ArtByte be the next Gulden?

[First.Bitcoins]

This forum has been typically been slow to recognize the power of community based coins, like ArtByte for the arts and Gulden for the Netherlands. When this forum does recognize the growth of real everyday users, market cap explodes.


This happened last fall to Gulden, when market cap jumped from a few hundred thousand to 20 million





NOTE - ArtByte has now broken one million marketcap (see the post on 5/19). When Gulden broke one million, it rose to over 20 million in a couple of months. Will ArtByte follow?


Now, ArtByte is making new all-time highs in market value, passing $600,000 today, will it follow Gulden?

Thanks, ArtByte has focused from the beginning on building a real user community, which we believe is the key to long-term value for a cryptocurrency.

For those who have not seen it, here is the link to a presentation made by the founder of ArtByte a couple of months ago:

I sort of liked AppleArtbyte and have some in an older wallet. But the other day I went to upgrade to the new wallet and it's full of viruses (as reported by Virustotal and yes, many of them are going to be false positives). So I went and checked a bunch of other wallets and about half a dozen I tested (including big ones like litecoin), had 0 to 5/7 reports, pretty much all the bitcoin miner ones. So for me, it was simply not worth any sort of risk to install Artbyte. I would strongly recommend you do some real work to bring that down to where other coins are.

Your post is bull shit, because we have the same wallet we have always had, we only changed the logo when we changed the name.

I've never seen a result that bad with 34 out of 61.

As for your comment about the wallet being the same, I can't determine that now as I had deleted the previous version and I only have backups of my wallet etc. Maybe it's on an old HD somewhere.

Either way, I don't see what you're getting all worked up about. It's in your best interest to do something about this. If you can't see that than you seem to be more interested in being defensive than taking some constructive criticism. Either way, good luck to you.

I don't know how that site gets its information. We just tested the Windows wallet by downloading it to a brand new Windows 10 box, running Windows Defender. Windows found no viruses and the wallet was installed perfectly.

Thought this post might interest the readers of this thread:


As part of ArtByte's 3rd anniversary, the founder announced the development plans for the upcoming year, including an innovative mobile app allowing artists to post work and receive tips via the app with just one click.

The blog post is here: http://www.artbyte.me/artbyte-3rd-anniversary-celebration/

Here is a clip from the post:


Development plan for this upcoming year

Lite wallet - With over 3 years of transactions stored in our current Windows, MAC, and Linux wallets, the download takes several hours. So to make it easier and faster for our new users, we are developing a wallet that only stores recent transactions. Of course all transactions are still available in our full wallet for those who want them. And of course, the Lite wallet will continue to include our built-in pool mining.

Improved iPhone wallet - A simpler wallet, designed purely in an app format for ease of use. Like our current Android wallet, this wallet is a simple, clean, fast app geared to mobile users.

Advanced wallet for power users - This wallet is made for traders/investors and will include direct links to all exchanges where ArtByte is traded, links to tools such as our blockchain explorer, news via Bitcointalk, Twitter, Facebook, etc., and of course, our built-in pool mining.

ArtByte Music Store will accept Bitcoins, as well as ArtByte - There are currently no music download sites accepting Bitcoin. ArtByte Music Store is the only site currently accepting digital currency (ArtBytes) for music downloads. So we are adding the ability to accept Bitcoin payments as well as ArtByte.

Our music site will use an API that converts any Bitcoin purchases to ArtBytes, which will be deposited in the musicians ArtByte wallet. The addition of BTC payments will provide an additional service to musicians as well as introducing Bitcoiners to ArtByte.

ArtByte Gallery - The gallery will be a mobile device app unlike anything available today. Artists will be able to add media showing their work. For example, a painter or sculptor can show a picture of their work, a musician can upload a video or audio file, a dancer can show a video of a recent performance, an actor can post a video clip or their reel, a writer can include the cover and a few pages of their work. All types of artists, around the world can showcase their work. To make it easy for fans to support artists, the Gallery app will include an ArtByte wallet for the user. Also each artist's post will link to the artist's ArtByte wallet. So with just one click, any fan will be able to tip any artist directly from the mobile app.

ArtByte breaking out on Bittrex (Saturday, May 20, 2017)

[okbit]

Every time you guys add a new chart, the price is higher! I think the comparison to Gulden's rise in price is a fair one. It seems artbyte is getting more and more recognized.

I hope it continues, if it rises like Gulden did, that would be 1000 sat.

ArtByte has now passed $2,000,000 in market cap!
