im quite interested to see the web wallet and even more interested to see the web market place once it come online.

I hope we can rope in some nice ui and web designers to make it awesome in the near future

Hello,

I agree Cryptohunter, its been a long tough road but the Davids efforts and everyone involved is finally paying off. I have yet to see the new web wallet but I have seen glimpses of the upcoming UI redesign. Everything is much improved but especially the daily volume, that is the most important for the upcoming PEG.

Thanks

i couldn't agree more.

The great thing is we have so much more than most projects but there is scope for even more to be added that will increase value before the peg.

I would expect 50 cents - 1 dollar is not impossible per bay before the peg is switched on and indeed that would be sensible for a fully functioning polished version of the bitbay roadmap in relation to other projects and what they ACTUALLY offer. I mean I would say this exceeds what is offered by almost every other alt with the exception of perhaps eth.

There are only a handful of projects that come close to being as interesting as bitbay with proven devs like david. Those caps are magnitudes higher than bays.

agree on all that
wish I had more than I have. which is not much but am looking forward to staking as the current 1.5 is pointless really, the 20 is worth it which is coming soon

Exactly at last some incentive to hold other than just the advancements in tech that david is providing. I think there can be even greater expansion in this giving incentives to accumulate and save bitbay.

Also I kind of like the direction we are going now.

1. making accessible to laymen and others who do not want the hassle of using most blockchain based currency
2. making it easy for businesses and others to use bay under-the-hood and build out applications on top of bitbay core.
Once the api is ready and other dev teams can build things on top of bitbay I think you could see extreme vertical growth.

would be nice to make it easy for other projects to launch their own projects using bitbay as they can with eth and other platforms in the future.

even with the current roadmap completed there are still so many other ways to build and attract people to bay...

I'm excited about the peg but I think it should be pushed back until bay reaches a sensible valuation for what it provides already. I would target 1 dollar.

Once the market place takes off it will crush ebay on international purchases as soon as sellers/buyers realise there is probably 30% or greater profits here on the product alone. The new auto included international fees are ludicrous on ebay now. It has killed the import/export market for small traders. This will change with bitbay. The peg will be very useful for the marketplace to really take off huge but once it does it will suck up so many bitbays in DDE contracts that I don't think many persons realise the possible effect that could actually have.

The market place as an ebay replacement though is but one tiny use case for bitbay. I mean the applications are almost endless.

The most frustrating part is just waiting for it all to happen but at last progress is tangible and it is nice to see the bitbay team growing and helping david with things even if it is not core coding. Still the help with testing and other tasks is apparent now. I hope they can keep growing and growing this team.

A funding mechanism is the next big thing that we need to think about but I think the savings bonds could certainly provide not only that but extra incentives to accumulate and hold.

So for instance you are saving not only for extra interest but also for the knowledge that you are donating partially to extra development that again cycles around to increasing value of your savings/holdings.

It's funny when consider the laymen, I was just in a conversation yesterday with a person who is a good sounding board for your average consumer. It was good to get feedback. Because as a programmer, we see the technical and overlook the simple explanations we can give people to bridge the gap to the project. We should keep our messages simple and strong. Interestingly he was most excited about the peg and he seemed to easily grasp the ideas because he works in traditional investing. He really loved the idea about variable interest on frozen funds too although I don't know if we will implement that in the first version of the peg. Maybe when we test it with a demo client we can get more user feedback on it.

Exactly. The idea of variable interest is the fairest way there is to reward the support and belief in this software. It is also an ingrained principle people are already familiar with. Long term bonds and shorter term bonds. So combining that with also a development funding mechanism.... so the levels of interest exceed the usual level but a portion of that is taken for dev funding too is a win win.

I mean even a decentralised web version of just ebay that works perfectly and is totally free trade (not like ebays) has got to be potentially worth billions but then further to realise this is not even a minute fraction of a fraction of the potential use cases of bitbay is quite freaky. Quite honestly if bitbay reached even 20% of its possible use cases it would render obsolete huge chunks of middle men business that thrives off of doing little and sucking end users dry.

I also believe knowing david (just a little) that his full plans for bitbay are still not even fully revealed.

These small rises are shaking weak hands out but for me even 1 dollar per bay would only be the start of it reaching mild recognition just within the current crypto community.... that is nothing like going mainstream
