[ANN][ICO] 📱 AppCoins - The New Blockchain-Based Protocol For The App Stores 🔋

[scam confirmed]

Great to see that issue of barrier to entry for developers have been dealt with! Appcoin on Aptoide seem to be a collaboration made in heaven. It is so perfect tht appcoin is working with aptoide in seemless aggreement

that one of the biggest reason that why should we join appcoin ICO.
because we already having a user base here.
so project need not to make one just make the platform a good one.

The platform is also looking steady ready i guess.
and app coin is already running their platform way long before ICO.

That's why I like this project. They actually have working stuff to show they're dedicated. Not just another one of these 'Oh you guys, we will give you the world if you invest, we promise!' while having nothing to show, and not showing any signs of actually working on anything except marketing.

Not just that, they also answer our questions and concerns everytime. They are making it sure that all of their clients are accommodated accordingly. They also do let us be updated everytime Appcoin and Aptoide have good news for us.

Yep. Very professionally handled. The openness makes me feel comfortable investing unlike a lot of other ICO's I've participated in where I just sweat for months worrying about it because they can't even be bothered to answer questions or give updates.

Ah! A fellow worrier! My wife can tell when even the slightest thing isn't going perfectly with me.

I think it seems like as everything is going well in this project. The roadmap also good and almost successful. Keep it up the good development.

When will the APP be listed on exchanges? Specifically a few exchanges will list?

The tokens will be listed in Exchanges starting on January 1st (after the ends). Some exchanges now seem a bit premature, probably Etherdelta, ....

The users can share and advertise their work in avcordance to their will because of the Aptoide model, it is based on its social features. Any user can upload APKs to their own "profile" (their own store). And they can share those APKs with other users. This is similar to what Youtube does. Users can share videos. Of course, many videos are not made by the users themselves and may be copyrighted. It only differs on how they can advertise the game.of the app in their perspective and endorse it to other people

ALERT!!!
This ico is using bumping services to unfairly promote their ico and ann thread!.

The evidence is here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2486084.0.

Please don't believe all the comments here.

u said that aptoide complies with all DMCA request and removes apps whenever a developer asks for a take down but on your other statement you also stated that through appcoins we can avoid censorship issues within app stores, where one large player can choose to remove content so does this mean that whenever a developer asks for their app to be taken out of the blockchain?

No, not from the blockchain. That DMCA process happens only at the app store level. Also, one of thing is censorship, another one is complying with copyright law.

Ooh yeah, what you are saying is very remarkable, buddy! AppCoins is a very trustworthy project that is going to revolutionize the apps economy! Considering that there are about 4billion apps users across the length and breadth of the world, once the public sale ICO rolls in, the positions will fill faster and just after that when we hit the top 10 exchange sites then boooooom- a lot of big and small investors will opt in and this will drive the market price of AppCoin up way higher like that of Bitcoin and I can even forsee that APPC tokens will rise consistently more than Bitcoin since the chance to dump coins has been cut off in this ICO!

The future is brighter with AppCoins, FOLKS! It's best you join the public ICO when it commence soon before it's over, if and only if you are looking to make it biiig with Appcoins!!!

[Dipsomaniac]

Have you guys been to any blockchain conferences?

[earthcoin]

How do you plan to discourage people from dumping at the first exchange?

We've already set a vesting period for the team. We've also set up a bootstrap mechanism that will delay some tokens distribution amongst the developers, users and OEMs. Other than that there's not much more we can do. As you know, investing in cryptocurrencies and ICOs such as AppCoins always carries a risk, just like investing in any other business.

You guys are doing a bounty campaign right? You will delay distribution to them too?

The biggest problem I have with current appstores is the overabundance of crappy apps vs. actual good ones. With the Proof of Attention, will you be able to rate apps on how much time people spend on it, and how much long term use they get out of it, etc?

Still wondering about this, because I think this could be huge.

Apps should get clean honest reviews,  not bought or forced reviews cos this is obviously happening in every applications in ios  and android

Exactly, much harder to buy off people to just leave their app running than it is to pay them to press a single button. Ratings are trash, and hardly any indicator of actual quality.

[scam confirmed]

When will the APP be listed on exchanges?

I'd also like to know this. I've heard it can be pretty expensive to get your token on exchanges.

[Dofus]

What other features will the app store have that current ones don't?

Just chance upon this article. It is really an amazing insight of Appcoins. Would like to share it here so that more people can know about it and understand Appcoins more.

Hi Cryptoer,

Recently I came across this ICO Appcoins and it seems like more and more people are recommending it. So i decide to research more and share some findings with you all. Since Appcoins is developed by Aptoide and I feel that Aptoide is important for the development on Appcoins, some of the facts will be based on Aptoide.

1. History
Aptoide started way back as a proposal in 2009. In Q4 of 2010, it was launched in Bazaar Andriod Site as the site allows user to create their own store. In Aug 2012, Aptoide grew at such a tremendously speed and one of the huge milestone is that it merged with Bazaar Andriod brand. From there, it moved on to Europe in 2011, Asia in 2015.

2. Business
Aptoide has very good foundation. It is situated internally with offices in Portugal, China and Singapore. It has 100 members in the team. (10 will be working on Appcoins.) The team is very experience in App Store field and so far, their strategy has been proven to be working effectively.

3. Customer and Developer Base
The 2 key components in Aptoide is the Customer base and developer base. For customer base, claiming as the 3rd largest App store, the data i can find is  - 200 or 150million users (diff source quote differently)
- 4 million downloads of the app
- 800k app
- 300k stores
The number of users seem to be growing at quite a constant speed. Reaching out to 150mil is no small feat. Some other facts: Enjin has 18.7mil registered users while Kin kik has 300million registered users. However, do take note that Kin Kik is a declining business when it is ICO-ing. It seems to me that Aptoide is still growing. What attract me in the app is that there are exclusive app in Apotide. The exclusive app will make Apotide an edge over any uprising competitors. Another way to look at how the developer is supporting Apotide is to have a look at Github. There is regular updates on Github.

4. VC Funding
VC has strict guidelines and regulation to select their clients. So usually, those ICO which has previously VC funding is believed to be a reputable company with demo or working products and potential growth in the long run. 2013, Aptoide has VC funding of 750,000 euro. In 2015, 3.7mil of euro VC funding.

5. Appcoins Utilization
One of the most important question is how Appcoins integrate to the ecosystem. It is quite similar to many other concept where it is use as a payment method however I see somewhere that Appcoins has created a interesting concept called 'Proof of Attention' where the developer can track if the user has installed his app and uses it or not.

6. Developer Trust
It is a arguable opinion on whether developer trust is good to be centralise or decentralise. In Appcoins, they aim to make the trusting issue to be decentralised so there is a universal transparent trust system. Since in crypto, it can be a preferable choice to decentralise things, it may not be so receptive to the general public/users. Since I am not a tech guy, I am unable to figure out how the trust system work so there is a little sense of insecurity, given that majority of the team members are not too well verse in crypto.

7. Blockchain Awareness
Although the team is quite new in blockchain and crypto, they do their due diligence (which increase my confidence given my previous point). They are aware of the limitation and have openly reason on their decision-making. It appears to the team that they are open for bigger solutions and are more community-centered team.

8. Competitor
What is assuring to me is that the team looks into details on who is their competitors. They looks at things in different layers and it shows that they are very well thought out and serious in their business planning. On one layer, they are looking at the blockchain level with competitor like Tezos and Iota. On a lower layer, they look at ICOs with a bit of similar concepts like BAT, Kin and Monetha.

So will you be investing in Appcoins???

I believe that Appcoins is a great Project. Aptoide, being the 3rd largest App Store, has 200million active users and 4 billion downloads. When the Appcoins Protocol is completed, these tokens can be easily accessible by millions of users wideworld.

[BlockFolksHQ]

Actually I wish that Appcoins campaign is willing to accept Jr. Member. I do foresee the value of the token rise as I see the ICO as a successful project. With so many active users and a great team of around 10 people working on it, I believe quite heavily in Appcoins.

However, I would have to say that Globcoin is equally as amazing as an ICO too.

That is the reason why I join Appcoins signature campaign because i believe in the value of the tokens. I do know of some other tokens that lose like 90% of its value once it hits onto exchanges. So your earn of $100 can become $10.

are you going to be featured only in the App Store? what about google play?

[lorylore]

are you going to be featured only in the App Store? what about google play?

Aptoide is already in google play. People tends to download Aptoide because it provides a huge range of apps including exclusive apps that you cannot find in google play. Even apps like amazon can be found in Aptoide but not in play store.

I think you mean Aptoide appears in Google Search but not in Google Play. Google Play has this competition clause and doesn't allow Aptoide or Amazon App Store.
I started to invest in AppCoins because I see two points in future: 1) when the other independent app stores like Amazon App Store, Yandex App Store, Samsung App, Xiaomi picks, will move to the app coins protocol and start to contribute to the protocol 2) when OEMs and developers will prefer to do business with AppCoins based stores than Google Play.
This first can take 1 to 2 years, the second can take 3 to 5 years.
In both cases, it will drive a big jump in the valuation of the token.
With a hard cap of $15.3m, it's not difficult.
