[ANN][ICO] The Agora [ETH/BTC] - Passive income with next-gen marketplace

[TheAgora]

Discover the Agora Marketplace

WEBSITE - WHITEPAPER - SUBREDDIT - FACEBOOK - TWITTER - SLACK


ICO 10% OFFER Premium Period - LIVE NOW

A truly decentralized market

Based upon Ethereum for the logic and IPFS for the content, Agora is the first market thought in the interest of all parties. Register on it using your current Ethereum Wallet and then you can buy or sell over the marketplace*. An automatic system is holding the funds during the transaction. That way, if something goes wrong you can always get your money back.

A profitable place

When a transaction is made over Agora, a 2% fee is taken and transferred to a special contract. Every month, all Agora token holders can claim their part of the fees gathered during the period. This is how the market is profitable for investors as well as for the development team which holds tokens too. These tokens held by the Agora team is the way developers can work and live off building Agora.

Seller's new home

As a seller, you can create your place, fully-customized, to sell your goods or services. All the assets that make your market so beautiful and unique are stored on IPFS, so they are as distributed as the market. You will be able to choose colors, pictures and the layout with a fully customizable CSS to make your place completely unique.

In what are we different from other decentralized marketplaces ?

• We want the user to be able to use the market the most natural way. Just going to an URL must be enough. No software installation etc... We will be working with public nodes. Of course, if the user wants to use its own node, he also can.
• To register only an Ethereum Wallet is enough.
• We want to be able to suggest goods that can interest you, but respecting your private life must be taken into account. Creating a decentralized search-engine/recommendation  based on IPFS and Ethereum will be one of our biggest challenge.
• To get the community truly involved, the shareholders that get involved into the community generate passive incomes based on the 2% fee taken from every transactions made over the marketplace.

bounty ?

Our project is simple in its first version, indeed. But it make it feasible. Our long-term goal is to build a fully-featured marketplace, and we will be able to do this only if we start with an accessible goal. If you check our timeline, you can see we have :

• Mobile applications
• Decentralized search-engine
• Parcels deliveries traking
• ...

It's not that easy to do.

For bounties, we haven't defined anything about this. We still discuss about creating some. we'll post it here as soon as we have decided something inside.

Hello BitcoinTalk Users ,

Here is a little announcement about The Agora Marketplace ICO :

Today, we've integrated a mechanism that can help you to get involved into our ICO using Bitcoin and/or Litecoin (in extension of the Ethereum base).

We're currently working on making this engine open-source and opened, so everybody that will want to create an ICO in the future will be able to accept payments in all of this currencies. If you have any question, come talk to with us on our Slack !

Hi, I sent 3.0 Litecoins to the ICO but don't see my tokens yet.

LTC Address: LbWpY7zfMHtninKYcAsoT3EvWmhSMnpF9Z

I did get the tokens for the Bitcoin I sent.  Thanks!

[TimeTeller]

I'm just wondering that if the thread is not attracting attention from the community, then, how can you promise about the passive income?
It's hard to believe to acquire such passive income if you have very small audience supporting you.
Just my thoughts though...

I'm going to fix this right now, it seems the API we rely on for Litecoin is a bit buggy. Sorry about that.

yet have a demo for the platform?

No, it's too soon for a demo of the platform. We've finished designing all smart-contracts used by the platform, we are reviewing and testing them as we are talking. We will publish them on GitHub so people will be able to audit it before we deploy it. (probably next week)

We don't want to make the same mistakes as previous projects : rushing the contract development and getting stuck with some limitations, or worst.

By the 15th September, we will have deployed the "claiming" contract (the one that generates passive incomes) and the market contract itself on the Ethereum chain.

We do know it can seem long, that's why we've decided to make the ICO open until the 15th of October, and to motivate people to start invest in our project, we've added the 10% offer at the opening.

How is ICO disbursement and escrow handled? Is it all through smart contracts? Is there an MVP? Is there a gui? Many questions before I put any money into this ICO. You should also add linkedin links for the TEAM asap. Photo's and text as presentation is way too much 2013.

The disbursement/escrow is handled by the smart-contract itself (you can check the source here) like all the parts of our ICO :
https://etherscan.io/address/0x2f5e044ad4adac34c8d8df738fac7743eda1409c check the refill method. If the ICO fails, you can simply execute this method on the contract to get your ethers back. If the ICO is a fail, here is the transaction to make to get the Ethers put back :

Code:

  address : 0x2f5e044ad4adac34c8d8df738fac7743eda1409c
  gas : 150000
  data : 0x538e0759

If the ICO is a success, the smart-contract owner (0x603DEFF7b4B6467dB3e3e4A39a704Ab3Ee04Fa53 on the Ethereum chain) can withdraw the Ethers raised during the ICO to pay services (like marketing, designers or legal advices).

There will be a GUI for shareholders (like stated in our whitepaper).

We will add LinkedIn links, you're right .

I look forward to seeing the linkedin profiles and an MVP. I could fund the project myself if I feel that you are a serious development team.
