[ANN] Taklimakan Network : Social and Business Platform for Crypto Community

[furfurol]

Can traders work on several exchanges at once? Or is he only responsible for one portfolio at the moment?

Here! I found this in white paper:
Some trader strategies include simultaneous trading on more than one exchange. In order to trust funds for management under such trading strategy, investor needs to accept management agreement, and transfer funds to multiple exchange wallets according to the agreement.

Thanks for your explain!

Devs, I have a question about the the project. Why do you need an airdrop contract type at your platform? I've noticed it at WP.

For two reasons: 1. For initial marketing purposes - letting people know about the project, to attract users, and 2. For any kind of reward later

[amitrovich]

Do you have any code posted on github?

Probably at the initial stage of the project development it's too early to talk about it.

I wonder if this project would be open source or not? May be partially? @unionmare, could you please clarify it?

Can you explain the description of Trading signals and strategies
One of the trading signals will be publishing python code for sample strategy
Ie. To use your platform trader needs to know the Python code?

We will open smart contract code on github in a week or so. As for open source - we will look for opportunities for that, although certainly not all.
Trading signals can be submitted manually, or for more advanced traders - through API. We will actually offer this service to traders - automating their signal's publishing, it will help everyone and it's not a big deal for us. We know Python

Is there any information about exchanges where do you want to be listed at? I understand that it's too early for such a questions, but anyway.

Are you Taklimakan developer/manager? It's pleasure to see devs support and activity here at official ann thread.

I'm wondering what the name of your project means. And does it mean something?

I googled ... There is such a desert in the west of China. This is one of the biggest deserts of the world .... Perhaps the creators meant the size of their future network?

Soft cap in 3 000 ETH is too small for such a large future network!

The soft cap is for alpha/beta version development and marketing. Actually this is enough to start the project and work for a large future.

I wonder if you are able to continue developing after the beta only with the project's income in this case?

Sure) The main plan is beta version release as soon as we can.

Yes, I run the team that does all development work for Taklimakan platform, I'm listed as an advisor in the Team section. Other team members are joining in here as well. Let us know if you have any questions.

[amitrovich]

Devs, do you have some experience in this kind of projects? Are there projects that you've developed in the past? It would be great if you share them here or at your site/WP.

Thanks for your question. As a matter of fact, the main reason Taklimakan engaged us for development is the depth of experience we have in developing similar software. I personally worked for 10 years with top-tier investment banks on high performance trading platforms, systems for Analysts (there's plenty of regulatory complexity there), etc. Feel free to look at my profile via LinkedIn, link is in the team section of the web site.
We have a large team (200+ people), part of which will be deployed to create the platform quickly and effectively.

Are there some public projects which you can share with community to increase interest to your current project?

All companies/clients we worked for ask for very strict confidentiality agreements (Blockchain is very different in this respect), so only the info that's in our LinkedIn profiles can be made public, I'm afraid. There's plenty there, though - names of clients (Deutsche Bank, UBS, etc.), including some of the  current Blockchain work (Livetree ADEPT). One project I oversaw was made public by the client so there's no problem with referencing it: http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/25637382/client-first-deutsche-bank.

[amitrovich]

What about your previous project? do you have something crypto related?

We have a very diverse team, each member brings different experience to the table, including crypto related - trading, software development, marketing, etc. For details please look at the Team section of our web site, as well as provided links to LinkedIn profiles for team members.

[amitrovich]

I'm curious to know at what stage software development is now

It's very reasonable and interesting question. There is no link to GitHub at the site as of now. Is this only concept yet?

GitHub will be open to public in a week or so. As for development stage question - we created Requirements and Architecture (parts are published in the WP), and are working on the Design right now - creating infrastructure Microservices that will be used to run the platform. Most of the development work will be done after the ICO, though, as you can imagine.

[amitrovich]

What you will use to protect platform from DoS and spam attacks?

I think that every serious project must have protection from dos and spam attacks. I can imagine how dissatisfied customers would be if it was not so ..

Yes, for me it is also obvious. But I would like to hear the answer from the developers.

Indeed, we'll work on this. We will do security planning at the end of Design Phase, and security review before every release. Common practice, nothing special as we will not hold user's funds, so we won't be too attractive target . The only exception is Investment Pools, but even there we won't build anything that will expose users to additional risks (funds are transferred via blockchain into Exchange wallets and back). We will monitor Exchanges to insure they are safe.

Thanks for such a detailed answers. How do you plan to define lottery winners? Will this process be public?

[poopooshit]

Do you think your project is succeful ?

Of course it will be public. We considered writing the smart contract for that but randomness in blockchain is not 100% solid (at least theoretically), so we'll use an outside service (probably https://www.random.org/) for transparency reasons. We will publish the list of wallets that qualify and provide all transparency to the process.

How much money do you want to raise?

It's so huge team  >200 people. At the end of the white paper you have much fewer team contacts
