Any campaign or airdrop? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Not at this moment, but perhaps later on once we are ready to tackle user adoption more aggressively, which would be when Particl's marketplace would be more "adoption-ready" ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) In other words, stay tuned mate ehe!

In the meantime, Particl ambassador CryptoRamble had a very interesting appearance on the MoneroTalk show where she and Douglas Tuman interview each other and chat about the importance of privacy. They also extensively discussed Particl and many of its components such as RingCT, its unique implementation on the Bitcoin codebase, Particl's decentralized marketplace and escrow, and much etc. You can follow the links below to watch or listen to this great episode, it's really worth it imo!

That is really awesome ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) THAT'S the power of unstoppable marketplaces and why they're badly needed. I think...give it a few years and this concept (decentralized marketplaces) is really gonna start growing on people. Particl and other decentralized marketplaces are way ahead of their time, which is good, because it means once the general population is going to "get it", they'll be technically well advanced and ready for adoption

Very NICE! Particl has just been added as an asset on the mobile version of the privacy and security focused light wallet Flare Wallet. That means we can now store, send, receive, and swap PART for any of the other available assets within Flare Wallet’s ecosystem. It is a non-custodial wallet, meaning that their team doesn’t have access to your private keys at all, and is available on both mobile and desktop platforms. Their team is also working on integrating atomic swaps into their swap engine, which means that it could be a very interesting solution for atomic swaps / trustless swaps on Particl's marketplace. That'd really increase Particl's resilience and resistance to censorship. Really pumped about this ehe! Check out the full article that was just posted on Particl's blog: https://particl.news/particl-added-on-flare-wallet-eeac9f2959e6I hope they push atomic swaps live very soon

That are some very good questions, would be interesting to hear some answers. I also was a investor long time ago, before there was the rebranding from Shadowcash to Particl. But from time to time a watch this coin to see their archievements. The current price is very cheap and i will buy in again in the next few days, because i still believe in this project and hope it will grow again to one of the top projects.

Particl: anonymous e-commerce in the square? Particl is a decentralised platform using both blockchain and peer-to-peer systems. The goal of Particl is to offer an application where everyone creates and participates in the marketplaces of their choice, allowing the purchase and sale of goods and services in cryptos. This project puts the emphasis on privacy, as we will see together. The mainnet version of Particl was made available to the public on Monday. The Particl platform The Particl platform aims first and foremost to enable the creation and use of a decentralised marketplace. In order to function, but also to carry out transactions on the platform, it will first be necessary to use the crypto underlying the protocol, the RTAP. It should be noted that the objective is in the near future to enable the almost native use of Bitcoin or other cryptos, via atomic swaps. These atomic swaps are currently functional, but not yet deployed for widespread use at the heart of the platform. Particl uses a modified version of the Proof-of-stake protocol, the Particl Proof-of-Stake, as a consensus mechanism. Note that the protocol is the result of a Bitcoin fork. Transactions on the Particl blockchain therefore currently use the Segregated Witness protocol by default, and de facto the platform is compatible with the Lightning Network. The actual peer-to-peer system is based on a known P2P messaging system, the SMSG (Secure Messaging) derived from Bitmessage. The Open Marketplace After two years of testing, the Open Marketplace was made available on the mainnet on Monday. But another marketplace, even if it would have a crypto-compatible name like Particl, why? Particl's primary goal is to respect the privacy of users. The project stands in opposition to the giants of the net whose business model is based on the marketing of user data. The Open Marketplace will allow to buy and sell goods and services in a decentralized and private framework. Technically, the Open Marketplace is based on an implementation of the Open Market Protocol (OMP). Which protocol arrangement? While some information is shared publicly (e.g. a seller's listing, asking prices, product descriptions or photos), others are by nature kept private from other platform users (e.g. contractors' identities, conversations between seller and buyer). Moreover, even if it is necessary to configure this particularity yourself, it is possible to use Particl under the umbrella of the TOR network. Finally, payments take place via Particl, as the project developers have implemented a system based on both Confidential Transactions (CT) and RingCT. The MAD Escrow The escrow system will operate according to an architecture known as "MAD Escrow", which is a little curious and may raise questions: in fact, both the seller and the buyer will have to sequestrate via smart-contracts twice the value of the good or service negotiated. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2F0ZcT88L%2Fparticl-blockchain-Amazon-Ebay-2020-crypto.jpg&t=665&c=yKq5VF2TIpzGbg) If everything goes well, everyone is happy and recovers his sequestered funds, the seller gets his sale, and the buyer gets his property back. If this is not the case, the situation becomes more tense: the escrowed funds remain escrowed ad vitam aeternam, causing both the buyer and the seller to lose this escrowed value. A risky definition of an escrow, to say the least. The novelty of this escrow is that it is supposed to be fully automated and peer-to-peer, unlike OpenBazaar, for example, where escrows are based on the decisions of human moderators. Anonymity: flip a coin? The last particularity of Particl resides in its organization in the form of simili-DAO: if open marketplaces will necessarily be available, it will also be possible to create one's own private markeplaces... Which can augur well for the possible emergence of black markets equivalent to those existing on the Dark Net. An opportunity to see the real degree of anonymization allegedly allowed by the protocol? Only time will tell. We will therefore monitor the launch of the Open Marketplace, and give you our opinion on Particl and its marketplace in the coming weeks. It seems that the market is growing at its own pace in any case Particl is a unique project it is a leader in the B2B B2G B2C field I use myself for some shopping and it's very efficient. I strongly recommend. whether you are an individual, a passionate person or an institution Particl is the Amazon of the blockchain, but you know what to do ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hi here's the transcribed description from the interview on youtubeBlockchain projects aim to decentralize all companies and allow users security and anonymity to interact with other users and companies. All Blockchain projects adhere in some way to these basic characteristics of Blockchain; however, only a few base their model on this very nature.
Particl is a chain of blocks project that does exactly that. It is a decentralized platform that allows users to create their own intelligent contracts and services. All these services are oriented towards confidentiality and anonymity, and there are already services such as an encrypted P2P messaging application. Particl seeks to provide a marketplace where users can interact securely and anonymously.
How Particl works The decentralized platform proposed by Particl allows you to create dapps when and where you want. It is built using Bitcoin Core code, which means it uses the reliability and security of the Bitcoin network. However, it is also compatible with SegWit and Lightning Network-ready, which gives it a head start over most of its competitors. Users are free to create any application they want and they can let users pay for it in any cryptomony they want. However, all transactions are converted to PART when the funds are transferred.
The PART model The Particl model is based on privacy and anonymity. You can carry out transactions in different forms, namely public, blind and anonymous. Public is the basic transaction and offers pseudo-anonymity like Bitcoin by making transactions anonymous but not private. Blind transactions hide the number of pieces transferred from everyone except the sender and recipient, and it is a mid-level method of privacy protection. Anon hides both the address of the sender and the recipient as well as the number of coins. All have their own transaction fees, although they are not that high.
Proof of Stake and Cold Stacking One good thing about Particl is that all the fees generated within the platform are used to pay those who put in their coins. It uses a proof-of-issue model where the people who hold the coins get voting rights and rewards.
Those who buy RTLs and hold them are paid in the form of a transaction fee that others have to pay.
There is also a reward for cold stacking. Cold stacking involves maintaining a knot to be used for cold storage. This node does not contain coins but serves as a dedicated resource for the network.
Parts Partcl As mentioned above, Particl allows users of all cryptosystems to participate and use their network. But these coins are converted to Particl each time a monetary transaction is required by the network. These can be regular, untraceable payments or smart contracts. Thus, although the platform is agnostic on cryptography and protocol, it understandably favours PART.
PART currently has a daily trading volume of approximately $194,000 and a global market capitalization of $86 million.
Buying and storing PART To purchase PARTs, you will first need to purchase BTCs or ETHs through a popular exchange such as Coinbase. Then you can use exchanges like Changelly to exchange them for PARTs.
Storage of PARTs is possible on any of the portfolios offered by Particl. You have the Particl wallet and the Particl-qt; the latter is a GUI wallet, a command line wallet if you are an advanced user. There is also the Particl Copay; a mobile wallet available on Google Play. All these portfolios will have other features that Particl is currently working on. But suffice it to say that you have enough storage options.
Conclusion Particl is one of the least talked about cryptomoney, but it has enormous potential. It was born when the ShadowProject was shut down. It is a marketplace that seeks to promote the anonymous and secure trade of goods from around the world. It is the essence of block chain technology and has been one of the most widespread uses since its inception. Thus, Particl is one of the few projects that actually does it in an efficient and technical way.https://particl.io/roadmap/#Blockchain #coldstaking #decentralized #app #PART #Particl #ProofofStake #SmartContracts

I suggest watching this excellent video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnN8QETQe54misses part 2 I hope Sylvain will post the next. A survey published by research firm Visual Objects ( https://visualobjects.com/web-development/understanding-cryptocurrency-myths-realities ) has found food and clothing purchases to be the most common use cases for cryptocurrencies. The findings highlight a significant disparity between the perceptions and reality of how cryptocurrency is used. Many who responded to the survey said the top use cases for crypto were trading and illicit activities. The survey gathered this data from 983 respondents in the United States who are “familiar with digital currency,” including over 120 who have made purchases using crypto assets. Survey predicts drugs and stocks as top use-cases for crypto 40% of respondents said that price speculation would be crypto’s dominant use-case, followed by purchases of “illegal items” (30%) and electronics (23%). The lowest-scoring options were clothing and real real estate with 15% each, and food purchases at 14%. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs3.cointelegraph.com%2Fstorage%2Fuploads%2Fview%2Fa5f700bca7d0120acd9bd4901aee1d94.png&t=665&c=hfvbPZSwpFpB6w) With only 16% of respondents indicating that they had invested in cryptocurrencies, the results may offer insight into assumptions held by those observing the industry. Visual Objects polled survey participants who had purchased crypto regarding their virtual currency spending habits, finding the data to be in stark contrast to public expectations. Food topped the list of most common purchases made with cryptocurrency at 38%, followed by clothes at 34%, and speculation at 29%. Narcotics and firearms scored the lowest with 11% and 15% respectively. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs3.cointelegraph.com%2Fstorage%2Fuploads%2Fview%2F185e4d3b89c93424c64bde46df6810d8.png&t=665&c=nq3ziGfsdgBp7g) Crypto payments are also popular A recent survey conducted by The Economist and Crypto.com also found ordinary payments are a major use case for crypto assets. 34.2% of total respondents cited online payments as the top application for virtual currencies, including 35.2% of respondents from the Crypto.com platform. In response to the findings, Crypto.com COO Eric Anziani told Cointelegraph: “This is a strong indicator of a trend that shows digital currencies are on the right track for mass adoption, with its potential to enhance the existing payment infrastructure and efficiency.” Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/people-spend-more-crypto-on-food-and-clothing-than-on-illegal-drugsWhat can also be found in the sales lists on Particl marketplace https://particl.io/assets/video/market-buy.webmThe possibilities for Particl are gigantic, lacks mass adoption and a few investors.

The lowest-scoring options were clothing and real real estate with 15% each, and food purchases at 14%. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs3.cointelegraph.com%2Fstorage%2Fuploads%2Fview%2Fa5f700bca7d0120acd9bd4901aee1d94.png&t=665&c=hfvbPZSwpFpB6w) With only 16% of respondents indicating that they had invested in cryptocurrencies, the results may offer insight into assumptions held by those observing the industry. Visual Objects polled survey participants who had purchased crypto regarding their virtual currency spending habits, finding the data to be in stark contrast to public expectations. Food topped the list of most common purchases made with cryptocurrency at 38%, followed by clothes at 34%, and speculation at 29%. Narcotics and firearms scored the lowest with 11% and 15% respectively. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs3.cointelegraph.com%2Fstorage%2Fuploads%2Fview%2F185e4d3b89c93424c64bde46df6810d8.png&t=665&c=nq3ziGfsdgBp7g) Crypto payments are also popular A recent survey conducted by The Economist and Crypto.com also found ordinary payments are a major use case for crypto assets. 34.2% of total respondents cited online payments as the top application for virtual currencies, including 35.2% of respondents from the Crypto.com platform. In response to the findings, Crypto.com COO Eric Anziani told Cointelegraph: “This is a strong indicator of a trend that shows digital currencies are on the right track for mass adoption, with its potential to enhance the existing payment infrastructure and efficiency.” Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/people-spend-more-crypto-on-food-and-clothing-than-on-illegal-drugsWhat can also be found in the sales lists on Particl marketplace https://particl.io/assets/video/market-buy.webmVery interesting and helpful, thanks for sharing this ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Yep there will, the functionality is already baked in for the most part, I know the devs were working on this a few weeks ago. Not sure translations will be available in the next update but it's one of the features that should be ready soon ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Thanks for quoting the update here! There's a new one available on Particl.news: https://particl.news/development-update-08-05-2020-abf5a026b4ba--- Like mentioned in the previous Project Update, Particl is now going to be posting more regular development updates to keep you informed of the latest progress behind the scenes. Today is the first such development update! Here are the latest progress updates, as reported by Development Manager Henk Swardt. CoreOur beloved Tecnovert has been hard at work, Particl Core 0.19.1.1 has been released which includes some improvements required by the Ledger team. tecnovert/particl-core Link is here: https://github.com/tecnovert/particl-core/releases/tag/v0.19.1.1Merged Bitcoin 0.19.1 backports. Added generatemnemonic command to particl-wallet Qt receiving addresses table displays relative paths. Qt receiving addresses page can verify an address on a hardware device. Path of change address is sent to ledger hardware devices[/li]
DesktopThe new Core version was successfully tested against Particl Desktop 2.3.x and everything is working correctly. Thus, Particl Core 0.19.1.1 has been pushed to all existing Particl Desktop 2.3.2 clients and to the current work-in-progress (the future 2.4.x release) builds as well. Good progress has also been made to the new Particl Desktop client. The bulk of the rebuilding of the listing template creation functionality is now almost complete. These changes will still need to be re-visited and updated at a later point to cater for the new changes being introduced in the market codebase, but that should be a minor update and quick to do. MarketA large portion of the refactored market codebase is in the process of being made available as part of the feature branch we use for GUI integration development. CopayAs for the Copay app, we are still looking into the issue that has been causing blank history views. We are required to make some API changes and these proved to be a bit more tricky than we hoped it would be. Please bear with us as we work through this. Swap EngineWe have added and made ready a new exchange bot and have been adding and testing some additional coins to the in-app swapg engine of Particl desktop. The tests have been successful, keep an eye out for new coins to be available on Particl Desktop once the big Infinite Markets update comes out! This should get some more people digging around Particl and using it with their favorite cryptocurrency. Hardware Wallet PlaygroundAn easy to setup development and test environment for hardware wallets & their integration with particl-core has been set up. The goal is to make an automated test suite against emulated hardware wallets. It is very much under active development, but PRs are appreciated.
