[ANN] Halo Platform: The World's All-in-one Cryptocurrency Management Platform

[Henc...]

i can see where it would pay off more to have a t4 if there were more service fees, but are they really expected to be that high to matter with a free blockchain that charges no transaction fees?

i have noticed that light mode takes a while to load the Masternode page, should i try using full node? it doesn't take forever or anything, i just wanted to make sure i am using the correct mode

The fees that get shared with between the MN holders will be generated from all the features the platform will have. Currently the fees come from the MN marketplace and the Decentralized Exchange, this week the first game (of many) will be launched by Halo's gaming wing Block and Chain Games (little preview in here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095680.msg49523789#msg49523789). BnC also offers a "Partner Platform" for other blockchain game developers who are interested in using Halo's blockchain, which will bring in more possible income streams for MN holders. Besides that there will be centralized exchange, debit card... The growth potential for the platform and also the user base is huge, so the fees will definitely see a climb in the future.

The lite node syncs with the blockchain remotely and full downloads the whole chain data to your machine. So in most cases the full will be faster (mainly in the MN dapp) but it will require somewhere around 30 GB of room on your hard drive. I personally would suggest the Chrome Extension (you can find it in here - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/halo-platform-browser-ext/oaebcmidkgapfllemhdeghglmokiakci), the extension is bit more advance compared to the desktop client. The speeds will still sometimes be bit slower compared to the full node but otherwise it's the best option out there. The API system will be redone in the future which will make the lite/extension as fast as Full is now.

We've got a major API upgrade this week which will greatly speed up the Masternode DAPP. We encourage you to use the browser extension for an optimum user experience.

who gives a guarantee, that this extension is safe for a ruser. There are many different extensions and applications now available, however, it's fairly reasonable to refer to downloading various sources.

Check out Decimated. They are building their game to utilize the Halo Platform blockchain for their in-game currency due to the speed and free transactions.

The Halo team gives a guarantee that it's safe and they are usually vetted by Google before they are allowed as an extension, or so I thought. I mean it's just as safe as any other browser extension that a platform is using, if not safer. The great part about the platform is that you don't necessarily have to stick to the extension only, you can download the featherlite client which has the wallet, DEX, masternode DAPP, and block explorer built into it so far with more to come.

I run full mode of featherlite on my computer and it runs fast for me.

HALO Coin has just been listed on Coin Market Cap! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/halo-platform/

That's great to hear as it's been a long time coming. Congrats to the team!

I wanted to mention another current use case of the Halo Blockchain due to its instant/free transactions is voting in the blockchain.

 https://medium.com/horizonstate/horizon-state-on-the-halo-platform-a-match-made-in-heaven-fbba97632fba

From the article:
"Following on from this partnership agreement, Horizon State is now using Halo to run the vote in New Zealand’s The Opportunities Party (TOP) leadership race. Halo’s unique architecture and fee model make it the right chain for collecting votes from a large population or in a situation where we must run several consecutive votes; The benefit of using Halo’s solutions today becomes quite apparent in the lead-up to running multiple campaigns in the next few months."

The fact that they have instant and free transactions is going to go a long way with real world use cases as we are already seeing.

Gaming: Block and Chain games: multiple games like Blockfight and Draggin Dragons

Awesome, a good project with functional stuff, i love your Dex easy to use.

I wish you the best of luck to this project, looking to set a few masternodes.

Congrats for the add to Coinmarket, i found this project there.

Great to hear! the DEX is one of the fastest I've used so far and one of the only ones out there (not saying the only one) that utilizes coin wrapping, but they do it the most efficiently due to the fact that Halo is currently one of the fastest blockchains out there and it's seamless trading with the Halo Browser extension (soon to get a new name, current 100k Halo contest giveaway in Discord). The DEX feels just like a centralized exchange when it comes to speed.

As for masternodes, let us know if you have any questions, either here or in Discord. They are also streamlined and easy to set up, you can do a cloud hosted option without having to sign up for anything, or you can do a self-hosted with your own VPS. Rewards are still great and will get even better with the launch of Blockfight, all commission from the game and house winnings will go to MN holders.

  I didn't realize you could post GIF's on BCT, that's great to know lol

Newest  Block and Chain game studio newsletter/update is in. The team found a bug in Ethereums Web3 code while getting the Blockfight Cage ready to accept Ethereum as well as Halo and have passed it on to the right people who maintain the ethereum web3 code. There is also a nice easter egg/hint at what is coming at the bottom!

Block and Chain/Halo casino is coming! This ties in perfectly with Blockfight and I hope that the commission and winnings will go to masternode holders like Blockfight as well

Nice work.

Thanks, I'm ready for the Halo, BTC, and ETH rewards to kick in. I forgot to mention that they are designing it to where all fees from the DeX will be given out to Masternode holders, so if someone buys Halo with Bitcoin off of the DEX, then they will take the Bitcoin fees and send them to the Masternode service fees smart contract to give to MN holders. Same goes for Ethereum and I think any other token listed on there.

I think they also plan on doing this with the games. So any commission or house winnings that are in ETH or BTC will go to the masternode holders as well.

[jchi2210]

100k+ Halo is being given away on the Halo Facebook community page if you can guess the closest amount of USD
in  change on a table. That's more than enough to get into a shared masternode and it comes with help getting it setup, although it's quite easy to set a masternode up anyways.

Don't miss out on the livestream with Scott Morrison CEO of Halo and Stephen Arnold CEO of Decimated!

[jchi2210]

Live stream is done! The video link is below, they discussed a ton of topics that ranged from:
 

• Gaming on the blockchain
• Decimated by Fracture labs, who are building their MMORPG on the Halo blockchain, trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB-ENl6i_os
• perks to gaming on the Halo blockchain
• ICO's on the Halo blockchain
• Halo Consensus/RAFT VDTB
• Halo Security
• Halo Compliance
• Halo model, similar to Google without retaining data
• Why using the Halo Blockchain makes more sense for companies with micro transactions because its free, unlike chains like Vechain. This is perfect for supply chain.
