Re: [ANN][FLO] Florin | The original tx msg coin

Torrent and IT noob here. I still don`t get the main advantage Alexandria has over the existing solutions, but I am only an occasional user of the whole thing (i.e. the only way I know to handle it is to go to torrentz.eu, look for something, than click on a link and M-Torrent downloads it. That`s what a friend who knows about that stuff told me).

A lot of folks are calling this a better alternative to "the existing solutions" for Torrenting pirated content, because by replacing a website that can be shut down with a blockchain as the torrent index/repository, it is considerably more robust, but I want to be clear that this was not our actual goal - the purpose behind Alexandria is to use the P2P technology that piracy sites rely on for free wide distribution to enable artists to be in direct control of their works and how they are distributed and monetized.

There are a lot of little problems with your 'project'.

You started the project by buying up a lot of Florincoin, in fact a considerable percentage of all the Florincoin that exist.

Then suddenly it was listed on bittrex and poloniex. I assume you or someone associated paid for that listing. Is that correct?

And so on.

Florincoin is a good long term coin. There is no doubt that when the crypto market recovers it will do well.

But the blocktech project seems to be a simple pump built around an obvious developing trend in crypto, adding on data or block chain features.

If your intent had really been to do the project as described for its own sake you would have done it.

But instead you approach it as a pure marketing scheme. All glitz but little substance. My guess is that a person will be able to get a few days notice of an actual release of anything by watching the trading.

Again, florin is a good coin. It will do well. You probably hold 40% to 80% of the florin that exist so you will make money on it. But the project you describe will only be successful when it is released with no fake 'xyzceo' bullshit.

A lot of data coins are going to have a lot of stuff, and many of them will do well. Florin is one of those. In the short term florin will probably do well because you and your associates bought up so many coins. There aren't a lot of sellers since you have the coins. But in the long term it's prospects aren't helped by crude pumps. Very disappointing that the op was changed to mention block tech. It doesn't reflect well on the Dev.

I still have a lot of Florincoin by the way, so I'm not fudding.

Actually, your primary assumptions are incorrect, so it sure feels fuddy to me Wink

No, we don't have 40%-80% of the florin out there - in fact Blocktech has less than 5%, and we got what we have almost entirely from mining. My guess as far as the reason that there aren't a lot of sellers is that the few folks who'd been accumulating it over the past year have their eye on this project right now. Obviously I wish we had a lot more of it, but we couldn't afford to spend the minor investments we did get over the past year on anything but development costs (servers, services, developers themselves, feeding them, office space for some time). Our intent really is the project as described, and we are in fact doing it - making something work does take time, so i'm not sure why you're so callously writing it off simply because it hasn't been released publicly yet.

Edit: Also, no, we did not pay for bittrex and polo listings. We emailed them to tell them about Alexandria and they were happy to list the coin.

Anyway, just felt the need to clear up that assumption since it was so far off the mark - no hard feelings tho, I can understand your general distrust of the XYZceo monikers Wink
