[SKY] Skycoin Launch Announcement

[skycoin]

Bounty:

I need a chart for IPO prospectus. I need this chart in 2x2 matrix, with bitcoin and Skycoin in upper right quadrant. 400 coins for best chart, 300 coins for second best. Change captions/labels if you can think of better ones. Up to 600 pixels wide

I see you merged my pull request and responded to my questions. Thanks! I haven't gotten a chance to go through your responses in detail yet, but I have setup a wiki since you expressed interest. http://skycoin.wikidot.com/

Due to details of the terms of service, that site will have to be for informational, not promotional purposes ("any material that promotes financial products" violates the TOS for wikidot). Meaning skycoin promotional content will have to live somewhere else (we likely don't want it on a publicly editable wiki anyway).


I can quickly/easily add some discussion forums there, as well as start collecting FAQ content and links to various other resources.

Should I setup some discussion forums? (I don't want to try and suck your followers over to my forums unless you want me to and you will participate there)

Here is my take, let me know what you think. I can always modify it if need be.

Way too complicated, but good job. Something simplier?





Like this. This is perfect. Except for the gradient background. White background, not too embellished or cluttered.

I'll give it another shot later, after work 

[coin@coin]

Here a simpler attempt. All Black & White.

I may do another one with more colours later on.

Can someone please dumb this down and explain the innovative features like I'm a 5 year old?

the old american way

Whatever.

Just a few quick bullet points that any non-technical person can understand would be awesome. Thanks.

The original post is as basic as you can get. It's the massive explanations during this forum topic and the whitepapers that are technical and difficult for non-technical people to understand. Give the first post a good 20 mins and put an effort into understanding it. If you don't understand something, make a list and tell us how you interpreted it and if you're wrong, someone here will correct you and you'll learn from the experience.

Thanks.  I started going through thread and many of the technical posts were confusing to me.  So, I'm concentrating on the OP only for now.  At first perusal I got down to the CoinJoin part and I immediately got turned off. Please correct me right away if I'm wrong, but it seems like Skycoin will have a centralized anonymity feature?  Blast me and do whatever you have to do because I'm not trying to create FUD.  Just asking questions.  It all looks very interesting though.

My assumption regarding CoinJoin is its not centralized: its simply the idea that you can mix together a few transactions as one to make it unclear who is paying who. Doing this in a decentralized manner is nontrivial but possible and I assume what is intended here.

If you are interesting in another attempt to explain a few things, you can check out my brand new Skycoin FAQ on my new (unofficial) Skycoin wiki: http://skycoin.wikidot.com/faq

Eventually the content will likely be moved to some Aether based wiki, but for now the content can live there. Feel free to add questions and/or answers everyone. I make no guarantees about the quality of the content.
