Some insight on ADA coin/Cardano

[Coink Coink]

"It’s great that you guys are interested in Ada and the Cardano project! My name is John O’Connor and I am Head of Communications at the Cardano Foundation. It's a very exciting time for us right now as we publicly launched Cardano on Friday and today began trading on Bittrex. I would however like to address some posts in this thread which suggest that Cardano is a ‘scam’ and/or ‘pyramid scheme’.

Firstly please take a look at the press section of IOHK, our development partner. Multiple articles by mainstream media have been written about IOHK. To name a few, Business Insider, The FT, Forbes, Bloomberg and the Nasdaq Magazine (links to all these articles can be found on https://iohk.io/press/). IOHK have a global team of leading scientists, academics and researchers working on the Cardano project.

Cardano’s PoS, Ouroboros stands out as the first proof of stake algorithm that is provably secure, meaning that it offers security guarantees that are mathematically proven. Ouroboros is also the first cryptographic protocol to be peer reviewed at the world's top cryptography conference, Crypto 2017. Forbes wrote an article on Ouroboros being accepted at Crypto 2017, you can read it here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/amycastor/2017/08/23/at-crypto-2017-blockchain-presentations-focus-on-proofs-not-concepts/#35d474f67b70

The project has adhered to strict compliance standards, and there is a wealth of information available under the transparency tab on the Cardano Hub website. https://www.cardanohub.org/en/home/

I invite any users who have any questions about the project to actively engage with our community channels where Cardano staff will be on hand to answer any further questions.

Regards, John O’Connor"

"Cardano is being built by IOHK, who are an extraordinary technology company. They have brought together an international team of leading experts, academics and cryptographers to build Cardano over the the past two years, inspired by the best features of existing cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ripple and Ethereum. This are many articles in the mainstream media that support this.

Of its many innovations, Cardano is the first blockchain to use a provably secure, proof of stake algorithm - the only one to have been academically peer reviewed by leading cryptographers through its acceptance to Crypto 2017, the world’s most prestigious cryptography conference. It was even covered in Forbes. Cardano has also been written from scratch in Haskell. It allows the use of a high assurance technique called formal verification. This produces evidence that code is correct and could have helped safeguard against the flaws that lead to the DAO hack.

This is a very serious project that aims to build a blockchain on a foundation of peer review, and academic research. If you'd like to learn more, you can find a wealth of information at the Cardano Hub, or feel free to review the code."

I bought 30.000 ADA, I trust this project.
Looking for I nice return in a few weeks/months

17.500 BTC volume on Bittrex now...

Was this an ICO? How come it starts trading with a marketcap of almost 500 mln?

Hi!

If you want to know more about the project, read the links I provided in the 2nd post.
It´s all there.

Remember when Antshares/NEO was  0,10$ or 0,20$ ?
And everybody used to say "Ohh it's just a shitcoin from China, you know..."
Today it's 200x that price!
Well, ADA is now 0,02$...

Well the price itself does not say very much. It also depends on the total number of coins and Cardano has much more than NEO. So the marketcap of Cardano now is over 500 mln and therefore rather unlikely to give very high returns.

Thanks for yous links but I don't have time to read everything through. I'm for the moment especially interested in just a few facts:

- was this an ICO? If yes, how much was raised? What was the ICO price of 1 ADA coin?

If I know those things depending on the answer I will do further research on my own and actually work through your links.

Information around this coin is very great but isn't price too high for supply on bittrex? Their max supply is too high.
Just compare with
Verge: 16.550.000.000 supply - $0.008  - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/verge/
Ada: 45.000.000.000 supply - $0.02 - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cardano/

That is overpriced man. Don't fell into trap!

[totaleclipseofthebank]

Seem not legit to me. well, I will spend more time to learn about this coin. If it is a good coin, I will invest. If it is a scamming coin, I will write an article to warn people about this. We can not condon scammers in this community

Asking the same questions?

[Hiyatus]

Yea, $500 M from the start looks a bit inflated.
And their website has many words but little substance for investors - imho at least.
Will risk and buy if it falls to 100 sats

There was a ton of articles online about this known to be a scam (to japan). Here is a link about it:
https://medium.com/@classicether/out-of-the-ether-a-crisis-of-irresponsible-governance-facing-ethereum-classic-a77abdd7a9fa

But as for it being a scam, I don't know.. But the avail tokens are CRAZY high.

Aside from common twitter FUD I have only seen the one main article you linked claiming its a scam and they replied back to that article on Medium.

that's also what I wanted to see how come that the coin was already inside trex without any noise here inside the forum, I'm very interested on
how this coin started and whos the investors that taking advantage by now, for sure they are enjoying from what its showing by now, lets keep
watching and maybe buying a little will make us rich from this project.

If it's a scheme.. they made a hell of a work around it!
