[PRE-ANN] Tangram - Privacy by design focused DAG Network

[lilaj4de]

The payment processor, can be used for any type of business, either online or physical store? Can  afford Fiat currency purchases?

Interesting Project  
My question is, How does the Tangram Network prevent spamming of micro transactions since it's feeless?

Hi Vikhy,

Each transaction needs to do a small amount of PoW (hashcash) on both client side (wallet) and server side (node). The details will be provided in the white-paper that provides information on what a PoW consists of and how each PoW enables verification / confirmation of a transaction and the method and pattern to propagate throughout the network.

hi,

I read a reddit post about this. I have been waiting for someone to complete the idea of the scam project Stone that I contributed to. I read there was a period to claim some community fund. Did I miss it? I provably contributed quite much on Stone   Is there still the possibility? Where to msg?

I feel now I have double fucked up (and the rest of the 47% that didn't claim) because not only I was scammed but also I missed out on this claim. I really feel bad now. Why don't let it run a bit longer?

The devs have to answer if the fund for scams is still open, but if it's not, the new community sale is, for now!

Yes but why put a deadline before the project becomes known or there is a mainnet? At least let the scammed people claim while people are buying like whoever does it first. Even a community vote could be an option.

Well maybe you will be lucky and they will consider you but really if not, you have had since the 27th of February which is more than a generous time frame.

I am not a dev, just a fan of Tangram.  If you have any questions, you may contact contribute@getsneak.org. But the following has been confirmed by a developer.  

This sale began 4 Nov. As of 1 Jan 2019 it is still open, and will remain open for the time being.  
  
This is how you buy:  

A)  Make/use a bitcoin wallet using a client that lets you sign messages (electrum for instance).
B) Send contributions to the bitcoin address available in the above post by GetSneak:  
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3022248.msg47561662#msg47561662
(The address is 3C6DSAJiLdYWpLLzJQgb12RJi45yjeQkXP but check that so that you don't get scammed!)  
C) take note of the transaction hash.
D) Choose "sign message" in your wallet client.  
E) In the message to sign, enter
  1. the date
  2. your e-mail address,
  3. your nickname and ID (depends upon platform.  If you use discord it would be your discord name and discord ID. To get Discord ID, turn on developer mode in Discord settings, left click yourself and choose copy ID – it would be a number like 255543746611335588). I think they would also take Reddit ID or bitcointalk.org ID.  Telegram? who knows!  
  4. The platform where you use that nickname (discord, reddit, bitcointalk.org)  

F) Sign the message so you get a signature string, and verify it if you want.  
G) Send an e-mail to the contributions address contribute@getsneak.org.  Include:  
  1. The transaction hash for your donation.  
  2. The BTC address you sent from.  
  3. the complete message you signed earlier (the previous 4 items) with the signature you got after signing. This proves you own the BTC address that sent the funds.  
  
H) Then later you'll get a confirmation back from the devs.

when faucet will work ?

[Cleo999]

Testnet and test faucet are available now.  

We are still awaiting Alpha 0.9 testnet version.

We are awaiting imminent release of White Paper.  
  
MainNet is now scheduled to begin around the end of February, and the faucet will begin about 2 weeks later.

[btcionchi]

I registered a wallet on the test website. Why can't I log in? Can a registered wallet be used in the future?
By the way, is there a Chinese fan community?

[GetSneak]

December 10th Update:

We have been targeting a date of end of December for main-net launch. The software development is right on schedule, and obviously there has been a critical goal for us to reach in order to have the crucial goal met. In the blog post it describes the decision point that has been detailed.

hey btcionchi,

Currently there is no Chinese community that we are aware of, however, we're in the progress of translating the site to traditional Chinese, this should be done by the end of the week.

would you be referring to this - http://41.185.26.184:8081/ ? (Please note: this is a throwaway wallet (mechanism and web wallet, its purely designed and developed for ease of use to test the faucets).
