Two questions about Blocknet :
- why it's beneficial to quark ?
- does the ITO worth it ? (it's divident ?)

I wouldn't invest. 99.9% of all the IPOs (and to be cute ICOs and now ITO) have been simple scams. Once BLOCKNET or SUPERNET get beyond being nothing but hot air, flowcharts, whitepapers and roadmaps then take another look.

There is no benefit to Quark only bullshit.

You could be indeed right, we can always jump on it. Best is to wait and see how far it goes since most of the coin that are on it are pretty unknown

Actually, most of the coins involved have innovations such as stealthcoin and so on. That is why they have been chosen I believe. Quark also has inovation too and should be there as well I reckon.

I see a few posts that are harping on why certain coins were chosen to join Blocknet. Some are citing small marketcap blah blah blah.

Atcsecure mentioned that the development of the technology was priority. With this in mind, let us take a look at what each of the coins represented in the Blocknet Foundation have donein no particular order.

SSD First steganograpic anon transaction over mobile. This means that you can embed a transfer of SSD into an image that you take from your mobile and not have it traced the image doesnt suggest that a transaction has occurred. That is pretty freaking stout in my opinion. Development ongoing.

XST Worlds First anonymous SMS transaction. Again, a mobile transaction that is anonymous. Development ongoing (this is a theme with everyone here so I won't repeat it).

APEX In wallet developments everything from social networking to casinos. Aggressive dev team with an eye towards enabling web merchant transactions within their wallet.

UTIL Content filtering to protect exit nodes from malicious and illegal content. A great business feature.

SWIFT geoSwift, a way to GPS locate and connect sellers/buyers via mobile.

LXC Working on BlueTooth transactionsmeaning mobile transactions without internet connection. Sidechain research and implementation planned.

FIBRE An Aggressive dev team that has already created their own OS and have integrated FibreLock (an android style password system that renders keyloggers obsolete) into a BTC Modded wallet in addition to their own.

NHZ Asset Exchange and further expansion of NXT code.

XC Working on some cool stuff with a dev who has proven himself through a mountain of accusations. Not sure I need to list the features and development here.

The best part of my summaries are this its not comprehensive!!! Its a miniscule aspect of what each coin has to offer and not a complete picture of what each respective coins developers are capable of. My point was to make an attempt to list a unique feature of each coin to demonstrate the very broad based level of expertise represented here. There are many talented devs here with many firsts represented. All of them together can combine into a seamless user experience that cant be claimed ANYWHERE. All of these features together create a potential user experience that is unrivaled and will be for some time.

The marketcap of each coin, at this time, is irrelevant to me. That is not what defines their worth. The devs are pretty stout and it is the technology that is being developed that is the main issue and what will drive their relevance.

None of the posts that I see are even focusing on what the development teams are doing. That needs to be corrected.

In fact, Blocknet has a group of talented people who will collaborate on making something that is something that Crypto has never seen before. And I think that is something that isn't being done elsewhere.

I think contrary of you.

Coins involved in BlockNet have cool features. I don't think that features are needed for being money. Money does not need to be cool.

And I think coin market capitalization is very important. Because coins are not money.

Still.

I do agree with the point that being part of the blocknet will give quark some exposure which it doesn't have and expand it's community? Since quark as of right now has no active dev team, it's just max and he only maintains the code nothing more. I think quark has nothing to lose anyway.
