[ANN][ICO]Cardstack: The Experience Layer of the Blockchain + Tally Protocol

[frcat]

Is this something like Polkadot for scale Ethereum blockchain or... ? When fully working product will be live? How your CARD token will be using here?

Cardstack is building a decentralized software ecosystem, which offers end users a beautiful, cohesive user experience across decentralized apps (dApps) and software makers and miners a fair distribution of rewards based on usage.
Cardstack is pioneering a new scalable consensus approach called Tally (which has just been launched on testnet) to augment on-chain smart contracts with off-chain number crunching, in order to attribute and allocate payments to a network of software makers, cloud service providers, and analytic miners proportionally.

You can check the Roadmap here and I will link you to the relevant section in the whitepaper here to learn more on how the token works within the ecosystem

I didnt understand what do you mean. Do you want to create just another one store for thirs parties dApps? Or are you going to provide some tools for developers to create dApps?

The second part would be more accurate, together with having them fairly rewarded for their developments

Are you an engineer? A developer? More like a power user? Whichever category you fall into and whatever skill set you have, it is more than enough. You don’t have to learn NodeJS or Ethereum to contribute to the Card Catalog—to create meaning, write content, and share it with the world. Everyone can play an important role in the Cardstack Ecosystem. In this blog post that accompanies his tech talk, Chris tells you how it works!

This weekend, Cardstack engineer Jen Weber is attending ETHBOSTON—the Ethereum hackathon hosted by ETHGlobal, where over 100 developers come together to work on dApps. If you're interested: https://eth.boston/

2019 is just a real reality check to people in this space that most of these ICOs has no chance of success but the most interesting thing people are not asking is what the team has done with $30 million, what is their burn rate. I just feel it would be better for these guys to return investors their money, divide the amount left by the number of tokens in circulation and pay us back our money, all these try and error with people's money must stop

Why do they have to return investors' money? I see Cardstack has been registered on several exchanges, so there is no reason to return investors' money

I don't think they'll be able to return/refund, They've probably used most of the funds for making the product/hiring. Although it would nice to see transparency report from them.

A new update from the Cardstack team!

Our engineer Jen Weber recaps her experience at the ETHBoston hackathon she attended last weekend. Jen talks about the different challenges faced by developers; she provides tips for hackathon sponsors to improve the developer experience; and finally, she explains how her takeaways from this event tie into Cardstack’s strategy and potential.

It is impossible for us to get a refund from the companies after we purchase, already it is one year old which most of the funds they used for developments and recruiting the people. Yes, when we see some developments and updates from the company will help us to hold the coins because it is not a one day process to become successful with the crypto projects.

Congratulations Chris Tse & Hassan Abdel-Rahman on being granted a patent as co-inventors for rights transfers using blockchain transactions by the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office)! This work, which was done as part of Monegraph in 2014, laid the foundation for a lot of digital collectible projects ever since.

A customer uses a prepaid card to pay a service provider, by staking some crypto value into the smart-contract-based token pool (where all crypto assets are pooled together). Customers who only have fiat money can buy prepaid cards from retailers, who do the staking on their behalf. Through usage accounting (on-chain and off-chain), we meter the usage and provided services across the network. Tally (acting as the accountant or bookkeeper) marks the prepaid cards, the value, and the spend history to market—so that people know how much they can deposit, how much their deposit is worth, and how much can be withdrawn.

Anybody's who's read any whitepaper disclaimer know what they are in for if they are looking for refund - unless some regulatory body takes up the case. Still hodling my CARDs though. Outcome hasn't been the best for this asset, but they keep pushing development. Slow and steady wins the race, they say

In most systems, developers run the server, so the user’s files are stored in the developer's data center. At Cardstack, developers deploy their cards to the Cardstack Hub—the decentralized application server that powers the entire system (connecting to various data sources like devices, clouds, and blockchains), which is run by service providers of the users’ choice. This way, users have their own hub/server, their own little personal cloud, where they have all their code—whether it’s for note-taking or music-making or image-editing. It can be hosted by a service provider, but it belongs to the users.

We can conclude that it is worth buying on the exchange. Of course, no one can accurately predict that this will be the future, but after studying that it becomes obvious that the future of this cryptocurrency can be pretty good.

A prepaid card is a store balance that facilitates the providing of services in the Cardstack Network.

As a customer, you deposit fiat or cryptocurrency into a virtual prepaid card. This card has an address (similar to a credit card number), an original value (your deposit), the amount you have spent so far (measured in USD cents/§), and your available balance (which is denominated in USD, but may fluctuate based on the market value of the currency you used to buy that prepaid card). Now, you can use your card to pay for services wherever the CARD Protocol is accepted. Service providers will simply bill you by deducting your usage fees from your balance. In essence, this prepaid card is meant to be the pass for all the things you can do in the Cardstack Ecosystem.
