Here you guys go: https://medium.com/oysterprotocol/oyster-pearl-team-update-3-8e29aa08aab5

It looks like the Oyster development is marching pretty fast! That's good news. I guess soon we should see this progress reflected also on the PRL price.

Marching along.

Been so busy I haven't even been doing my Bitcointalk bounties.  No idea if Descrow is even still doing it.

Why are PRL prices going down? Is it due to BTC and ETH prices being down? now price 10k satoshi when I bought some time ago with the price of 18k satoshi.

Really dude?

Look above, try to read something before posting and also... the market does what the market does.

Maybe ask that question on the 1st of February when the test goes well & it still goes down.

is there any resource that explains how oyster protocol differentiates itself from the other "unofficial" mining scripts that websites seem to be running without website visitors knowing about them

I love this project, but i dont know if i should sell half of my coins holdings for some shitcoins,
literally 90% of my net worth is PRL now"

You should diversify imo.  90% of your network into a single volatile asset is pretty crazy.  I would get down to no more than 25% of your net worth into PRL and that is pretty extreme itself.  Maybe put the other 65% into BTC and Eth.

Full disclosure:  I do not advocate for being all in on crypto.

But it depend how strong believe you have in the bright future of any project even that contain high risk but crypto comes with lot of risk. I also increasing my tokens it seems something interesting.

Right there we have the first answer:  'without visitors knowing about them'

Visitors will know about them, and resource use will be limited.  It won't be different than doing any number of other computations.  I have a web site right now that all you to semantically analyze texts.  Well, guess what, not only does the client do a bit of the work but they give me the results which I store so they are doing work for me.  Many many many websites allow this.

http://fahwebx.stanford.edu/nacl/  <-- Go to this site.  You are now doing work to solve protein folding problems.

See those mining scripts were abusing things.  Hogging resources.  Not telling anyone.

"if testnet works then we can reach 500 million in my opinion

Well Testnet is actually finished ahead of schedule, and they're polishing it up for Jan. 31st release.

They have a powerful team now, with like 20 people.

Price of cryptos is not logical, and doesn't increase logically. Sooner or later though we will see the pump up to the real value. Might even have to wait until April for the working product, but it will happen.

I have been once all in one coin, years ago. It dropped 95%. I was ruined but I didn't sell. I had to leave cryptos for a few years though, having nothing more I could put on the table. This year my coin rose back from nothingness, and it rose 1000X. Unfortunately I sold most of the coins after it had made 20X. I would be a multimillionaire if I'd hold them all. But anyway I can't complain. Learn from other people's mistakes and experiences

[TheHas]

Only just starting to learn about oyster. So is it like sia, with a treasure hunting/mining reward included, plus with a focus on secure private storage? And they are currently on testing, expected to be finalised on 31 jan?

Take your time to check their FAQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/Oyster/comments/7n3t23/faq_oyster_read_here_first/.

Thanks yes I really should pay more attention to the faqs

I'll have a closer look through but oyster does look like it has actual new functionality - so many clone coins out there!

Been there, done that... Unpredictable but also, since there are so many projects, I was glad I used my time to check all the 30 latest projects added on ether delta during the ICO of Oyster Pearl. When I saw people trading already PRL way below the ICO-price (5000/PRL that was), I knew I had to get in and accumulate a massive amount. Now I just wait. I sold a part of it when it was still mooning but it never went down anymore  . Now I just HODL my PRL.

[Riqelme]

Oyster Pearl was an ICO that didn't go so great but the dev team been active detailing how they are going to accomplish their roadmap. There are a lot of risks involved in this coin but for the reason's below, I going to hodl a little bit and see how 2018 treats it.

Oyster Pearl is a ERC20 token that utilizes Ethereums smart contracts as well as IOTA's tangle. It will be used primarily as a decentralized storage ledger. Pearl is unique in that it tackles two problems, burdensome advertisements and reliable decentralized data storage.

We all hate advertisements on websites. I can't stand visiting the webpages of the Wall Street Journal and eBaumsworld (I have diverse taste) and being asked to disable my ad-blocker because they rely on ad revenue. It's annoying but its a necessary evil, or at least it was. Enter Oyster Pearl. Websites will be able to include a single line of code in their web page's code which will use spare CPU and GPU space of their visitors for POW. The POW is two-fold. The GPU will be used for IOTA POW while the CPU will be used for a unique "oyster-hunt POW" which from my understanding, ensure all the Pearls are not instantly made available to the node holders which secures the hosted data. Effectively, the web-page will no longer have to rely on annoying advertisements to generate revenue and the web-page visitor will have a seamless web-browsing experience.

Anyone using MYETHERWALLET on here. Is it normal for PRL balance to not show in safari browser? Only shows when I open the wallet using chrome

I think MyEtherWallet stores custom tokens to browser's cookie so you have to add custom token for every browser. So if you added PRL as a custom token on MEW in Chrome, you must do the same in Safari.

[kosaet]

How is Oyster going to prevent abuse from botnets spoofing web browsers and thus creating web nodes fake revenue

Yeah, I also agree.
Never, never put your eggs in the same basket.
PRL is a great project, but if a hack happens and the testnet is full of bugs, the value of a coin will plumett

Do you have any additional i fo about how the testnet went?

[AzrailBogov]

Hi Dev, let's try and get this bad boy on Binance or Upbit exchange.
This project deserves a lot of volume.

                

I hope that the team already has certain plans for increasing the volumes of Oyster! It would be nice if it became a reality
