I've  seen a lot of people tweeting about it myself

[Helios45]

Yep, this is one of the most active ANN threads and it looks like there is a fair amount of interest towards Paragon

[minorthreat710]

I hope it keeps growing at this pace, there will be Paragon spaces everywhere

The ICO is going well, but let's not celebrate yet, anything can happen, just calm down and spread the word, is the only thing we can do, paragon will go one way or another, its necessary.

" Paragon is the first organization dedicated to
leveraging smart contracts built on the blockchain to create and foster a community
dedicated to the worldwide legalization and systematization of cannabis. " ---WhitePaper   

that sounds good to me

[LavaJack]

I had one question through the whole whitepaper... PoS details are lacking who actually performs the PoS minting.

Maybe I missed it, but I did see half tx fees get burned, and the other half go back to the foundation. So what is the PoS incentive? That would lead me to believe every participating business in the network would be required to not only have access to a payment gateway, but are expected to run a device onsite in full node style?

If there are no tx fees, and the businesses have to host devices to move the chain, then they are incurring added power costs that aren't known yet.

Are there devices for the payment gateways spec'd yet, or is every business going to have a standardized, secured Point of Sale solution provided by PARAGON?

I'm not sure the Proof of Stake question got answered. I read the Whitepaper and I have two concerns: 1. The Proof of Stake question, and 2. The price smoothing with 40 million tokens in reserve. So while the rest of the crypto space may make large jumps, investors in Paragon are at the mercy of CFO guy to allow growth with the market (the Whitepaper read in a manner that they would be fairly proactive with price manipulation)? That seems fucked. The justification behind price manipulation in the whitepaper was the boogeyman pump and dump. If investors didn't want volatility, they'd put their money in Walmart, Facebook, etc... Also, guess who capitalizes on selling Paragon tokens when the market turns up? It's the Paragon Company. So not only does the Company have the ability to siphon gains from investors, the Company has an incentive to do it. Foolish. At least I know where to put my funds in case of a market downturn. Everything else is golden with this project, and I believe that it has a real opportunity to be successful in the long run. Unfortunately, those two issues may prove to be giant shit stains on an otherwise untarnished project.

One thing for sure its gonna get traction once it hits the market, reading around the forum i have seen a lot of project trying to the same way but none of them ever succeed, hope paragon can change that.

I think Paragon and Growers International should team up here, and create a trading pair between the two. We need that type of leverage in the crypto/cannabis space moving forward. GRWI already partnered up with DOPEcoin...Paragon would make a nice addition to this momentum.

I'm surprised the cooperation with IOTA isn't talked about more. That is a pretty big deal, IOTA itself being in the top 10 of crypto marketcaps.

I wish the Whitepaper would give a bit more information on it though, so far its only half a page with not a lot of details. I'm a big supporter of IOTA, so i like that you will be using their tangle technology. In the Whitepaper you mention that you can use IOTA for a verifiable audit trail. How do you prevent tampering with it? If i'm a grower and i just say that i used fertilizer X instead of Y, how can this be verified before it is recorded in the audit?

The IOTA cooperation is a pretty big deal, and with IOTA and Bancors cooperation, it just adds that much more in resources to the team. At this point with the cannabis industry still in it's infancy in the US and many other developed parts of the world, the sky is the limit. Keep up the great work guys.

Until now i don't know what is IOTA for, or even Bancor, so how will a partnership with them help the project, paragon tries to improve the research and proper distribution of cannabis between people that need it in a legal way, so how will IOTA and Bnacor help?.

IOTA. I hear people say many not good news about IOTA. some people complain they must dump all their IOTA.

That was an article about some kind of vulnerability but don't worry it's all FUD, someone want to buy cheap https://steemit.com/iota/@rajivshah/iota-s-vulnerability

[miraclewhips]

It's absurd the amount of "Newbie" account shills in this thread.  The founder has a known track record of opportunist money making schemes.  If you do any due diligence on the team your conclusion will likely be that this is a vaporware scam project. 

The SEC is going to be clawing at this one.

[WizardMoneyTrader]

how can you control the number of cannabis you have grown? whether there are few of its will be sold to make drugs?  

You should not worry about that. Paragon uses a system called Paragon Plant Tracking Software (PTS) to control the number and the quality of the cannabis. all of the growth of cannabis will be recorded and reported to you.

What the hell are you talking about?  This is all a proposal until they're funded.  None of it exists yet. 

This is a steaming turd of a project. 

Wait to buy this until it's on an exchange, if they can even get past the exchanges vetting processes under the current regulatory climate.

Celebrity endorsements should be a huge red flag.  Spending money on C list rappers, instead of developers.

In case anyone missed it... we have officially partnered with the upcoming Paragon ICO Smiley

I like checking in on the Paragon Telegram page, they answer all the questions so quickly

[legion_miracle]

The team continues to grow as IOTA teams up with Bancor, GRWI Teams up with DopeCoin, and Paragon teams up with GRWI and IOTA. Talk about opportunity written all over this collaboration. Presale is going great, IOTA sold out, GRWI sold out, any negative talk is just FUD people wanting to buy cheap. So far nothing but good news coming from multiple areas.
