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

[necromastery]

This title is not visible to most people because it is old.

Bitcointalk is one of the most popular platforms for cryptocurrencies and blockchain.

I expect the marketing plugin to be more active on bitcointalk when the Cardpay product comes out.

There is a section on the forum called bounty.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0

Here projects organize award campaigns. I'd love to see you launch a bounty campaign after the Cardpay product launch.

If talking about bounty, they have launched bounty at the beginning of this project, and it run really smooth, even have 19 weeks.

So of course he knows bounties, it's just their community hasn't insisted on getting them to do it again in this forum, or maybe he has other marketing places and plan, so many places that have influential crypto promotions besides this forum.

They say Cardpay would launch before christmast, but can't be sure of it. A campaign again after it launch, it would be outstandings.

Varying tokens, fluctuating exchange rates, and floating currencies make transactions on Web 3.0 unclear. Tokens displayed without revealing their worth or corresponding exchange rates cause transactions on Web 3.0 to be quite a challenge. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#6ddc


One way to remedy the uncertainty surrounding exchange rates on a blockchain is to establish a foundation where conversion to a local currency occurs.  https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#6d75


Most dApps assume users already have the knowledge to set up their wallets and obtain tokens. Unfortunately, many users are not familiar with these steps. Moreover, if users need specialized tokens, they will need to navigate decentralized exchanges. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#8659


Some fiat-to-crypto gateways are developing ways to streamline and clarify the onboarding process.

Here are some examples. Read more here: https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#9c6c


After users set up their wallets and learn the ins and outs of floating currencies, they still have to switch between dual networks when they want to process a transaction. This process is yet another challenge for them. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#76d6

I remember the cardstack bounty campaign in the ico era. I won 20,000 CARD tokens and I'm still holding.

Together with the application launch, they can create a new campaign.

Cardpay will probably launch in September.
It will be upgraded to full version by January 2022.

The full version is not required for launch. That's what the team said.

Tools like WalletConnect 2.0 use an open protocol that establishes pairings between two apps and devices by way of a relay server that simplifies navigating cross-chain instances. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#d6db


Navigating between the two layers of the blockchain takes a lot of time. Deposits and withdrawals between the two networks can take a lengthy period considerably. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#eb95


SPEND is Cardstack's neutral pricing unit designed for **Card Pay**. Products priced in SPEND is settled using stablecoins like DAI, to allow exchanges to happen in decentralized ways on Layer 2 networks. Learn more about SPEND here: https://medium.com/cardstack/introducing-spend-d76372368d0


There are currently too many dApps designed for individual functions; there are dApps for buying tokens, trading ETH, minting NFTs, bridging tokens, and so on. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#244c


To resolve the overwhelming issue of which dApp to use, Cardstack is currently developing a consolidated workflow system called Card Flow. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#35bb


Here's what we've been up to recently: https://medium.com/cardstack/sep-22-inside-cardstack-this-week-a419e15603b


We have spent considerable time developing our tools on the mobile front because the world is veering toward a mobile majority. We want to make the Web 3.0 experience seamless. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-2-32788be88565#1a9e


Everybody has a camera, and making transactions through already-established QR-ready platforms is so much easier than engaging with any other mode of payment.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_9fLLVUcAUKzVi?format=jpg&name=small


NFTs, representing digital collectibles, introduced people to the idea of “Obtainable Exclusivity”. Want in? You have to be early or be willing to spend big if you’re late.

Our new blog post dives into the infinite utility of NFTs in culture & commerce. https://medium.com/cardstack/beyond-nfts-as-collectibles-58f067c5c76b


Transactions on Web 3.0 still remain unclear to many. Many newcomers distrust Ethereum and Bitcoin because of the volatility surrounding the crypto market. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-2-32788be88565#47a9


The cryptosphere needs a stable, globalized currency value if it is to take off. The Card Pay network will enable easy transactions where conversion occurs to and from neutrality.

Gas fees are still one of Web 3.0's main issues. How can we fix them? https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-2-32788be88565#2d9f

The onboarding process for dApps and blockchain apps can be rather cumbersome. We need a more straightforward process if we want to grow this network. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-2-32788be88565#a8f4

Card Pay provides fast, cheap and easy payments. It remedies the problem of high transactional fees by operating on layer 2. If you haven't already, catch these demos by Chris Tse on Card Pay's payment and withdrawal workflows. https://medium.com/cardstack/card-pay-fast-cheap-easy-7ca236ed59b3


Logins and accounts in Web 3.0 must operate in simpler and more convenient ways to create a more inviting and less intimidating crypto-blockchain world. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-2-32788be88565#dcf7

Once the setup and transactional operations have been perfected, creators, developers, and merchants in the Web 3.0 world must focus on creating reward systems that entice new users into joining the community. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-2-32788be88565#c13b

Resolving the current challenges of Web 3.0 will create a more pleasant user experience and help DeFi gain more attention in the mainstream. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-2-32788be88565#e463




What we need is a non-sovereign, non-pegged currency that’s not priced in USD or EUR. There have been a handful of attempts to achieve this, but none have entirely succeeded. Achieving stable currency is key to generating financial inclusion. https://medium.com/cardstack/introducing-spend-d76372368d0#ef70


An NFT priced at 1 ETH in September 2020 (was ~$350) would now be asking $4000 today. This volatility excites only the most freewheeling of speculators, not the world at large. https://medium.com/cardstack/introducing-spend-d76372368d0#72da

When is the public beta and andorid beta??
I love the Cardstack project, but it is progressing very slowly.

Did you know that NFTs can be used in a myriad of ways, which aren't limited to collectibility? Watch here: https://twitter.com/cardstack/status/1450733526026833924



Cardstack is solving the problems of Web3 transactions by providing fast, easy, and cheap payments through Card Pay. Chris Tse talks about this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOprRhOo80Q&t=160s&ab_channel=Cardstack


Card Pay offers a variety of features and uses: You can make deposits from mainnet, issue prepaid cards, set up merchant accounts, withdraw your earnings to mainnet, and much more.

Here's a demo of our merchant withdrawal workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syVAOtAiE1U


We are developing a cohesive UX so that users can access Web3 without having to deal with the frustrations of high gas fees, slow transactions, or other blockchain-related issues. These are the three project layers that compose Cardstack.

See here: https://twitter.com/cardstack/status/1452553014737211399


At Cardstack, we aim to provide a cohesive experience for users, which consists of 3 layers.

We wanted to give everyone a sneak peek of Card Wallet by Cardstack on Android. Here is a quick video going through parts of the app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Mk9_qE8C0

We will release more info about the Android Beta next month.


SPEND is similar to in-game currencies like Robux and V-Bucks. Think of SPEND as Cardstack's very own in-game currency. Learn more about SPEND here: https://medium.com/cardstack/introducing-spend-d76372368d0


The Cardstack project has reached a milestone by delivering the first two protocols—Card Pay and Card Bridge—to mainnet. This particular mainnet deployment is delivered to the Ethereum mainnet as Layer 1 and the xDai chain as Layer 2.

Here's the scoop on what the Cardstack team has been busy with lately: https://medium.com/cardstack/nov-inside-cardstack-this-week-8211973c2adb


While our mobile team is continuing to fix bugs and push other developments, our dApp team is working on the Cardstack web app, which includes the Card Space functionality.

There are a lot of features in the Card Space product that we are developing one by one. These will be made available regardless of the operating system, as they are rooted in a web-based experience.

To be fair to all users, we will only release Card Space after the Android release.

Card Space allows users to add a donation module to their space, which contains customizable QR payment codes.

Users just drag a donation module into their Card Space and select the payment amounts. Then, their supporters can simply tip them by scanning a QR code.

This feature is completely noncustodial, so users don't have to wait for an intermediary to clear transactions; the funds will travel straight from a supporter’s wallet to the blockchain to the recipient’s wallet.


Here's a sneak peek into the much anticipated Card Wallet, which is currently in beta testing. This video shows you some of the many things you will be able to do with the Card Wallet mobile app—which is part of Card Pay to enable fast, cheap, & easy payments on Web3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM2A2yvDhOk
