This project is alive?

I think no, as no new exchanges, no big news, no activity from devs, and coin have -70% price from ICO. I will not recommend to buy this shitcoin with big marketcap.

this coin is about to moon big time! I hope everyone has moon boots on and is strapped in....

Good Luck.

See you on the darkside

[oskuro83]

[zecon]

Quick Overview of Consensus Models

A lot of technologists seem to think that the big divide is between proof-of-work and proof-of-stake. And then they encounter creatures like Ripple, BitShares or AlgoRand and get confused. But the PoS/PoW only applies to eventual/asynchronous/non-finite (slow) consensus models, and other methods are in use for synchronous/finite (fast) models; in fact PoS is used as the basis for voting in quite a few fast consensus models, making it all more confusing.

To try to make sense of it all, we had a short presentation about consensus models in Kik TLV office.

TLV Hacks: We Built Awesome Things For Hack Week

https://medium.com/kin-contributors/tlv-hacks-we-built-awesome-things-for-hack-week-c4d9e06d91b8
Once a year Kik hosts an annual Hackathon week at all of its distributed sites across the globe. Everyone who seems themselves connected to Kik or Kin in any way gets the chance to learn, grow, and experiment by putting down the normal day-to-day tasks and exploring new ideas. It’s a week where we can test out new technologies and work together to make something awesome. For one week, we’re able to work on anything, as long as it’s related to making Kik better and bigger and moving us forward as a company and as a culture.



This year, we could choose to focus on one of the following categories: open-source, Kin experiences and culture in Kik. The teams participating in Tel Aviv focused on various projects related to Kin and its implementation in different applications.

I dunno why Kin has exploded but other ico's I did like Kick and Cindicator are going through the roof as well. Might be that loads of new money is coming into the market.

I think it is true that Kik is planning to shift its Kin token network from ethereum to Stellar. It's in the news as well https://www.coindesk.com/goodbye-ethereum-kik-plans-move-ico-tokens-stellar/ I have sent an email to both stellar and KIK but have not received any response yet. I will update you when I hear back from either of them.

Ah, that might be why, thanks for sharing

[Wanska]

Yes they said they were going to change to Stellar. Hodl to the moon!!!

This is not like other ICO's, some refer to it as a reverse ICO - an established company looking to raise revenue without going through the standard venture capital routes.  KIK has an established messenger app with over 300M registered users and 15M active users.  They are far off from competing with the most popular messenger apps and could never expect to overtake them.  As a result, they are issuing a token to raise funds and differentiate themselves.  This could be big or could flame out.  The bottom line to me is that they are a real company with real users and real customers.  Their established platform could make them one of the survivors of all this hype and integrating P2P payment within their messenger app has real potential.  I'm in for the long run on this one but WTFDIK!

Kin — Structuring for Success

Kin is a digital sharing economy of equal opportunities. In our 2018 product vision post we detailed where we want to focus and what our main product efforts will be — the ones that we believe will drive Kin usage and adoption among users and developers. In order to accomplish that, we needed to rethink the way the teams are structured and ask ourselves if we are structured in the best way — a way that will enable us to win and accomplish our goals.

Insights from Kin Initial Product Launch

https://medium.com/kinfoundation/insights-from-kin-initial-product-launch-441c458a4ece

This is pure awesomeness! Kin is going places, it sure will!  

" Kin’s potential is huge. It’s not just a hunch. We have the benchmarks to support our vision. We also need to have a scalable foundation for number of users and the amount of transactions, so we will have to move Kin to a different blockchain as part of our roadmap.

We are very exited to move on to the next steps in bringing a new economy the masses and to see how Kin will power a digital sharing economy of equal opportunities.

Stay tuned! "
