[ortim]

Dear friends! The next sprint has a special meaning for the project! First of all, we are talking about the release of the Team page you all are waiting for so eagerly. We are hoping to add it on the website by the end of this sprint. Nonetheless, another task may even be more important when it comes to the long-term project development. Alexei, a JavaScript specialist who joined our team today, will be inducted into Giant and start to add his own contribution to the Giant solutions in the near future. We have also reached an agreement with a FullStack developer who will be able to participate in our work at the beginning of November. More on our goals in the various project fields can be read in a most recent sprint backlog available at:

Why is your team a Java script specialist? What tasks will this specialist solve? Will its work be limited to the completion of the website or are there more serious tasks? I am very interested in your project, but so far I am skeptical about such projects. I want to get more information.

Why is your team a Java script specialist? What tasks will this specialist solve? Will its work be limited to the completion of the website or are there more serious tasks? I am very interested in your project, but so far I am skeptical about such projects. I want to get more information.

As of now he is working on the Giant Contract sandbox, which is testing environment. Now we'll cover his activities more precisely. We've already created a separated news feed on Giant Contracts.

Giantjs is the Giant Contracts Development Kit, which means a development environment and testing framework for Giant Contracts. With Giantjs, you get:

    -Built-in smart contract compilation, linking and deployment management.
    -Automated contract testing with Mocha and Chai.
    -Configurable build pipeline with support for custom build processes.

    -Network management for deploying to many public & private networks.
    -Interactive console for direct contract communication.
    -Instant rebuilding of assets during development.
    -External script runner that executes scripts within a Giantjs environment.

Very amazing and impressing work from the dev team. This coin is so underrated at the moment like no other coin. But it is also a big opportunity for al the investors, because this coin will not stay for any longer at these low prices.

A x10 - x50 is possible.

Guys, buy a GIC coin. She has already risen in price. Soon it will be very expensive.

Dear friends,
20 weeks ago the Giant team has moved to the Scrum methodology. Sprint #10 was significant for us, it has boosted our energy and filled us with fresh vigor.
The team has been joined by two qualified developers during the same sprint! Read more on this and on the progress in development and marketing in the Latest Sprint News.

There was a new announcement on twitter, that a new dev is on board. This means this coin has now a very strong developement team. I think soon this coin will go to the sky.

Before summarizing the latest upgrades to our Discord, we would like to tell you why exactly it’s important. It’s no secret that many projects use Discord to increase hype by simulating the user activity. Only after several months of running the Giant server, we have reassessed the value of this product. Now we are trying our best to use Discord to:

    support and consult our users on wallets & masternode launching
    cover the news on the team and development
    receive the masternode owners feedback
    expand the team with the active community members
    have votes on proposed initiatives

We also want to reiterate the idea that each network participant can add value to the product and benefit all Giant Coin holders. That’s why we’ve made new Discord channels to structurize this activity.

    #heads-up - here you can report the website errors and incorrect info display on resources mentioning us
    #services - info on services potentially beneficial for Giant users
    #stop-spam - here you can help in keeping our server clean! Add info on active spambots for us to ban them
    #suggestions - if you have any ideas on the Giant Coin exchange listing promotion and you are ready to provide help in listing, leave your offer description and we will contact you

On the Giant Discord server, you are now also able to read the news feed of Giant.Exchange and GiantJS separately. We want to make the server easy-to-use and efficient for the project introduction. The direct communication link to the community is also extremely important for Giant.

Well, this looks definitely promising.
Congratulation !

The project has a number of advantages, but I did not understand what technology was used to create the Giant platform?

We inherited features of Dash, PIVX, ALQO and upgraded it. Now we are preparing the blockchain for smart contracts integration using V8 engine

[GiantUser]

We've returned from the Blockchain life conference with fresh ideas and new contacts. We are getting back on track and soon will provide you with the information. You'll read about our results in a separate report and series of posts related to crypto in general.
Team Page is on its way and to be released by the end of this Sprint!

Before sharing the blockchain conference results, we would like to reach a common understanding on what the standard crypto event really is about. The topic is controversial but still it’s better to voice it as it is. Furthermore, we have already expressed criticism towards the crypto industry in its current state so our regular readers won’t be surprised by this next characterization.

The members of a typical crypto event can be divided into several categories.
-    Traders and wealthy individuals who are ready to keep a share of their capital in cryptocurrency to gain high return. They are usually more marketing-oriented and not well-versed in technical details
-     ICO projects ranging in quality which use aggressive marketing and in a constant search for investors.
-    B2B services which offer complex solutions for other projects for instance, exchange listing assistance. Exchanges with marketing strategies targeted on ICO projects.
-    Funds and B2C companies with package products for trading, mining hardware manufacturers.
-    Experts, blockchain enthusiasts.

Any attentive reader can deduce who hunts who on such conferences. Multi-million ICOs and unqualified investors are a main drive of marketing-driven crypto events.
This destructive tendency limits the crypto industry to be just a poorly regulated access channel to unqualified investors. In situations like these, the society surrenders a share of its freedoms to gain protection. Citizens partially delegate the decision-making process to state organizations which must have a relevant expertise.

However, the crypto industry has not emerged without any reason. It is a massive reaction to the world financial crisis of 2008 that has showed the imperfection of the international financial system. Due to its young age, the crypto industry has a low entry threshold and low level of participants competence. Freedom brings chaos with it. This is why the majority of projects are trying to fulfill their short-term interests, using their access to unqualified investors. Sadly, in doing so they are giving strong trump cards to organizations which often combat the crypto industry in general. All of this is an absolutely natural global economic process. Despite its inevitability, we must realize these things too to form our own adequate agenda.

The Dextro Platform hosts our coin and is easy to use as well as being inexpensive, about $1.50 per month. dextro.io

To accelerate the development pace, our team has been expanded and we are welcoming Denis into our ranks! He is a Front End developer and he will apply his JavaScript skills in the work on Giant.Exchange. Ablai, Denis and Dmitry have already had a joint conference to separate the areas of responsibility as optimal as it can be done. Thus, Denis will adapt to Giant the fastest way possible. Denis will start working on the Dashboard while Ablai is going to continue making the Trading page which is using the base exchange trading logic.

Before talking about the latest updates, let’s first remind about the Giant.Exchange operational plan. The platform includes three basic elements:

   1. Dashboard – its algorithm is collecting data on all trades, generates individual and general stats and displays it via the Dashboard interface;
   2. Trading page – through the engagement with the smart contracts system, the deal info is captured. The page interface allows to track the underlying asset price motion process. The final result is also calculated in the smart contract;
   3. Governance – the members of the platform have a right to vote or create new votes dedicated to their Giant.Exchange upgrade proposals, such as: Oracles list change, initiative financing, dividends distribution, new asset addition and more. The weight of the vote will depend on the role that the member plays in the project.

It’s obvious that the Trading Page demonstrates the layout of the binary options trading. We aim to make the interface easy-to-use and intuitive.

Governance is the best guarantor of the platform developing no matter who the Giant Team consists of. The Dashboard will use the data generated in these two platform elements. This means that Denis will work on the Dashboard simultaneously with Ablai who is now developing the Trading Page. He will prepare an interface for the tables which will show the distributed data. As soon as the platform back end is ready, the interface will start to display the actual data.

You can already get a glimpse of how the Giant.Exchange trading will work. One the Giant.Exchange website, you can choose the time, set the deal size, choose the option type and follow the graphics. The difference between CALL and PUT options is best described in our article Binary Options types:

   - High option (Call option): betting on the price direction going upwards, time specified by brokers;
   - Low option (Put option): betting on the price direction going downwards, time specified by brokers.

Give it a try!

As you can see, everything is extremely simple for any potential visitor. Those of you who already saw this page in, say, September 2018 should come visit this interface again - it has considerably changed and became much more understandable. Share your thoughts on its further improvement to make Giant.Exchange even better!
