btw when will you launch your booking platform?

Hi there, not sure to be honest.

I was about to get stuck into coding it when it was discovered that the existing internal exchange system had a security hole which was allowing people to manipulate their balances, so I shut it down and now I'm building a new one in NodeJS and VueJS. It's going to be much better and much more secure! I'm done with PHP... never again!!!!

With regard to project failure... not going to happen...

I'm not some script-kiddie from eastern Europe playing crypto-entrepeneur! I'm a 20+ years experienced web developer with a full time well paid job in Dubai working for a company that trades in rough diamonds.

I won't let this project fail, it's my retirement plan.

Soon I'll reach the point where I can get commodity traders here in Dubai's DMCC onboard and then we will see some sparks fly price wise

Better hurry, the cheap coins are selling out fast. A few days ago there was 75K TOUR on sale, right now there is 41.7K and I expect shortly it will be down to about 35K.

Also the donators panel have decided to up the collateral to 1000 coins at the next wallet release which we are hoping to have ready in a few weeks.

That's exactly the whole point of the project; think about how much people spend annually on travelling... it's one of the worlds biggest industries.

Personally I spend several thousand dollars a year travelling. If we can get together a reasonable sized group that uses the system annually for their travel needs, the buying pressure will send the coin sky high. I have a friend I met here in Dubai who has recently bought a holiday resort in southern France called "lac de gurson". He's busy renovating it right now and hopes to have it open for business from around April. We are planning to do the first TOURIVA gathering there in August. I also have a contact who owns a bunch of timeshares in high end resorts who will be willing to rent them out for payment in TOUR when there is enough buying pressure to ensure he can cash out efficiently. I would say that with luck, some investors and a year to work on it we will have a bunch of good options available and a strong price point that we can build on to further the project and the quality and quantity of the accomodation options available through it.

Hi John,

Whats the listing costs like?

Right now we are trying to raise the money for listing with Masternodes.online.

[SimonOdell]

Update : We are now listed on Masternodes.online

https://masternodes.online/currencies/TOUR/

And we are about to start a 1M banner impression campaign with them.

We've seen a strong upturn in price from around 250 sats to around 800 sats in the last few days as a result of the listing, and we are hoping to see further upward movement when the banner ads kick in.

Update : Where are now listed at CoinMarketCap : https://cmc.io/coins/touriva

It is not the real coinmarketcap site. this is the real one - https://coinmarketcap.com/ . so if you check on this site, Touriva is not yet listed. but the site cmc.io is also fine, at least there is a point of reference to your coin. and by the way, checking the price of your coin in crex, I think it is better than most of alts. you managed to keep this coin for more than 5 months now and the current price is about doubled from your initial price. so you are not doing bad here. but I think, the actual implementation of your platform will make your coin increase its value in the market

how about your booking platform? will there be development during this time of pandemic? I think it is a good opportunity to develop your platform because once the lockdown is over to almost all parts of the globe, people might consider using the booking services again. Also with actual working platform, it might help in changing your market value to positive direction.

Hi, To answer your question. We are hard at work behind the scenes to develop the Touriva booking platform among other things we are also hard at work on our V1 Whitepaper and a redesign of the info page. We hope to have the Whitepaper and info page out shortly while we keep working on the Touriva booking platform. Our goal is to come out of this crisis better than when we went in. I hope I've answered your question. If you have any other question please feel free to leave them here.

Sincerely,
Martin | The Touriva team

Booking platform and the rest of the ecosystem is under development by me. I originally built a bunch of the planned functionality out quickly in PHP, but someone found an exploit in the internal exchange, I believe it was a mysql injection attack. That forced me to step back and rethink my strategy, and since then I've been taking a lot more time to work on a far more robust and secure replacement using NodeJS and QuasarJS (https://quasar.dev) for the frontend. I've been detoured for the last couple of months doing freelance work for another startup called Zovento (https://zovento.com) which is not in the crypto-space and was founded by a colleague of mine at my fulltime job here in Dubai. The Zovento App is built using the same stack that I am going to deploy Touriva using. The difference is a matter of details and UX design.  Zovento was launched just prior to the lockdown and I'm still finishing up some of it's functions, but when I'm done with that I will be turning my attention back to Touriva and swapping out various bits of the stack to create the Touriva App.

Hi Simon,

I am researching your coin. I like how passionate you are about building your idea.

Question, why did you decide to only have 3 Mil total coins, that seems like an odd, and small number to pick. Your mining rewards will be small to non-existent  in no time.

[SimonOdell]

It's all relative.

I've seen far too many coins come out, issue hundreds of millions of tokens and have those tokens to head straight for 1 satoshi or less because the market is just completely flooded and each individual holder has hundreds of thousands of tokens each on average.

We wanted Touriva to be scarce and difficult to obtain through any means other than sharing accomodation services through the app, and a low coincap makes it easy for myself and other supporters of the project to maintain a value above zero. Actually at time of writing the mast majority of Touriva on the market are above or well above $1, with significantly less than $1000 worth available below that threshold.

Another aspect is that the smaller the coin cap, the more volatile the pricing. This is a key part of the business plan for Touriva because ultimately the plan calls for selling tokens to tourists who will not care one dot about the actual spot price as they are likely by design to be completely unaware that the project uses crypto under the hood. This is achieved through the app and marketing; the plan is to market the vacation options in a similar way to a traditional vacations company. For instance : https://www.holiday-factory.com/ which is based here in the UAE. A typical tourist will find the app from our marketing, look at the prices in dollars ( or AED ) and if they make a booking the system will internally convert their payment to Touriva tokens, depending on the location providers settings;

1) Instant cash-out : any tokens the location provider earns will be sold for $$$ immediately for the best available price.

2) Balanced cash-out : their tokens will placed on sale for an amount which is equal to their listing price and they wait until the system completes their order.

3) Investment mode : their tokens can either be withdrawn for them to hold personally or placed on sale at a price they specify. Again they will need to wait until the price reaches their goal before they get their $$$.


The more tourists we accomodate, the more throughput the system will have in delivering rewards to anyone who is holding coins or collaborating as a miner or location operator. With a very low cap, the price will be able to spike skywards very fast with only a small number of tourists using it. Some people will use such spikes as an opportunity to dump and be gone and that's fine it's inevitable and if this works it will be their loss! Others will be able to use the spikes to expand their location offerings by saving up coins whilst the price is low and then selling when it gets high in order to fund opening new, bigger and better locations.

Again the key to it all is getting actual tourists in beds. It's the beating heart of the plan, and I would consider this a rip-roaring success if it reaches a point where we have say 100 tourists sleeping in various locations on an average night paying say $50 / night each, giving a daily turn over of $5000 annual of $1,825,000

We don't need to be the size of AirBnB for this to work, even matching the output of a small classic tourism agency company will result in a working throughput which will drive profits for all involved. It would be nice to reach the stated endgame of having Touriva branded luxury resorts around the world, but realistically if that happens it won't be for at least 15 to 20 years from now unless this really takes off in a huge way in the coming few years.

The past few weeks the team has been hard at work developing a lot of different aspects of the project.
We hope to have an announcement out shortly providing more information the current state of the project.

Watching what developments are you talking about here.
I've checked your website and nothing new from the last time I visited it.
Since countries are slowly opening up again from this lockdown, are you going to activate now your booking platform?
And where will you start? I mean what countries are you going to focus first to launch Touriva?

We share more information about the current status of the project on our Discord
We are still hard at work developing the Touriva travel and it will be for quite a while to come. Yes countries are slowly starting to open up again but we think that there won’t be a lot of traveling going on this year that’s why we want to focus our time on refining the booking app instead of rushing it to market. I hope you understand the reasoning behind this decision.
We will be upgrading our website this coming week to a more modern and refined design. Keep an eye out for that announcement
