[SKY] Skycoin Launch Announcement

[OnTheMoon]

When is the Skycoin OTC market launching, and what will determine the OTC price?
Will it be the price at Cryptopia? C2CX? daily moving average price?
Is it still possible to buy via Bitmessage...?

I think that we need get some results than mean working sky miner (I want get some ) then we can argue for getting on more exchanges.
When devs will deliver something working it wil be nice to see some action.
With such release then need some media coverage to.

This will be a big step for all Skycoin community. We are waiting for more active promotion for this project. Good times come again for altcoins and its a really good chance to  bring Skycoin to a new popularity level.

Update:

The Skycoin mobile wallet is finally up

Finally, I will be able to reach my Skycoin from my mobile.
I'd like to hear feedback from the community.

Wow, this is an old crypto from 2013. Strange, that I never heard about it. I see its not very popular price wise also. What's the main use of this crypto?

>I see its not very popular price wise also.

The price is up 500x from the first ICO. People are already buying houses with the Skycoin money, lol

We did one tube video and the price went up 50% and stayed there.

You do not make money investing in coins when they are at 20 billion dollars dollars and already in the top 10.

You invest at a penny then ride the market/growth up to $800.

Its much easier for smaller coins with good fundamentals (user community, technology, growth) to grow significantly than for something that is already at 100 billion dollars to grow.

I just saw the Skycoin pitch given at
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K-63rxeqVtg

Honestly - it's CRAP.
I mean... Come on....

Viewers were told:
1. "Skycoin was designed to be better than bitcoin."
2. We have dedicated hardware, made in China.

If this is our marketing staff, then we should call Houston.
Why wasn't "no fees" mentioned?
Why wasn't the meshnet mentioned? Only a VPN application where operator can earn some coins...? That's our highlight?
Why wasn't new consensus protocol explained, where 51% attack is not an issue.
Why wasn't CX mentioned, or that skycoin has its programming language, and side-chains that can function like ERC-20 tokens?
Why wasn't decentralized exchange and stomic-swaps mentioned?

Who is this guy pitching? Really, who is spearheading marketing?

This was from July. Yes its very bad, hopefully it will be buried from search results.  The presenter left our marketing staff in August.

We are working on a better presentation that will be made into a video for our youtube channel

need more marketing man..

I totally agree.
Their dev team are very active though, so that's absolute!

We did one youtube video and the price went up 40%.

Someone tried to buy 400 coins and it drives the price up 30%. Its like 50 BTC to blow it to triple digits.

The marketing guy, setting up the videos, his assistant was in car accident and so slowed us down by two months. We just hired writers last week.

We have to wait for the Bitcoin drama to die down a bit before we can hit marketing hard.

We did successful press release push and it went all over twitter and was picked up by over four hundred websites.

We have major Youtube channels lined up when the miners are ready.

The hardware wallet, the mobile and Skywire needs to be ready by the big push.

Yes. He did not mention any of those.

He even used the wrong logo for Skycoin! LOL

Really bad attempt. Now its more organized. The videos are improving and getting a lot better.

- we need cryptopia to fix the Skycoin logo
- we need coinmarket cap to list the other exchanges Skycoin is on (coinmarketcap had some DNS issues and delisted a bunch of exchanges, so 80% of the Skycoin volume is not even showing up!)
- the videos are getting much better, many more views and better channels are paying attention as the content gets more organized.

90% of the Skycoin project is still in stealth mode and has not been unveiled and put on the website. The content pages are not there yet.

Wow, this is an old crypto from 2013. Strange, that I never heard about it. I see its not very popular price wise also. What's the main use of this crypto?

- fastest transactions time ( new consensus algorithm, next generation, competing with IOTA, etc, not PoW/PoS)
- fastest transaction rate of any blockchain tech so far (over 300 transactions/second)
- new blockchain (Skycoin actually has a blockchain, unlike the 400,000 ERC20 tokens doing ICOs)
- new full programming language for blockchain, CX. cx.skycoin.net (Ethereum killer). We can embed full videos games on blockchain, etc
- +300 transactions/second while Bitcoin can only do 6 and Ethereum can only do 30.
- Transactions in second instead of hours/minutes (like Bitcoin/Ethereum).
- eliminates 51% attack with new consensus algorithms (So exchanges cannot lose coins from double spending). A revolution in blockchain consensus.
- Competitor to Ethereum for launching tokens, Skyledger. Each coin gets their own complete, independent blockchain, no 51% attacks and transactions a hundred times faster than Ethereum.
- Applications like Skywire for people to earn/spend Skycoins (mesh network, community internet project, like ToR but users are paid coins for forwarding traffic within the network)
- Distributed social media on top of CXO (competitor to steemit, github.com/skycoin/bbs )
- higher level of transaction privacy than zerocoin but without the slowdown (while still doing over 300 transactions/second), using CoinJoin, UXTX, CoinHour swaps and "send to public key", which eliminate all tracking information from transaction.
- default DEX (decentralized exchange) and OTC market for whole coin family.
- mobile wallet, desktop wallet, web-wallet, hardware wallet. With multi-coin support. Bitcoin/Ethereum ("send to Bitcoin" functionality being added soon).

The big thing will be Skywire.

Update:
The Skycoin mobile wallet is finally up

Congratulations! It looks great.

How far are you from starting to ship Skywire miners?

Hello

I am interested of buying this coin?
Is it possible to mine these coins?
How i can buy this coin?

Thank you for your asnwer.

Best Regards.

[skybot13x]

Is this still being actively developed? I would be interested in understanding how this works with POS/POW? Are there still known attack vectors that could undermine security of the network? Maybe you already had a discussion about it but I didn't want to look through the whole thread.

Yes, there are tons of things going on. ICOs are being built upon the Skyledger, miner in the works, hardware wallet in the works, etc...

The telegram is very active.

Here is a good article that talks about Obelisk which is the consensus algorithm that is used.
