Bonafide, a Bitcoin startup, has raised $850k USD for a

project aimed at providing reputation tracking to the

Bitcoin world. This funding round was lead by Quest

Venture Partners, Crypto Currency Partners, and the

AngelList Bitcoin Syndicate.

Brian Moyer, the co-founder of Bonafide, believes that

reputation tracking is essential in the Bitcoin industry

after suffering through the collapse of many fraudulent

or incompetent companies. His service is aimed at

providing stability and a sense of security to potential

mainstream Bitcoin users, which could accelerate

Bitcoin’s penetration into the global financial world.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Saw emunie it has a rep system too? How are the actually working to avoid ppl from abusing the reps of others?

I know with syscoin we have an offer type transaction and when an offer is paid we can query for feedback snd put it in blockchain.. That stops people from randomely targetting ppl.. But doesnt stop the abuse if someone really wants to they can pay for an offer and give a bad rating just cause but chances of that are low...

I don't get it. Three years ago, Matthew N. Wright,, proposed a similar idea, but his idea was kicked to the curb even though he was still one of Bitcoin's favorite sons at the time. Now, along comes a startup with a one-page site and they've already received $850K in funding, that with no visible way showing how they're going to profit off their venture.
