Polkabridge scam project and other tokens and coins that try this process on!
by
BillionaireWannaBe
on 03/11/2021, 11:11:36 UTC
What can be done about project that conduct this type of scam on crypto users.
I have read about several projects that try to remain legitimate and continue as if nothing has happened.

They simply announce a token contract switch and give 2 weeks to switch or else you lose all of your funds.
I know that at times there needs to be coin swaps and such but most projects will give years or decades to switch over.

So if you go on a vacation for 2 weeks a project like Polkabridge will simply steal your investment.

Should coin market cap allow these to be listed and any exchanges dealing with them should be ashamed of assisting in such a scam.

Gate.io is an exchange that knew full well what Polkabridge was doing and facilitated this.
Several projects now seem to think this type of thing is perfectly acceptable.

Can a community together bring pressure to stop this continuing, and if so how?
I've noticed several other projects doing this. Fortunately none that I have invested in.

Have you been the victim of this Polkabridge type of scam and if so please name the project here.
These must be stopped.

Please add any new ones that are close to main net or have already released.

You can go to coinmarketcap, add filters and sort out whatever you want:



And you end up with list off clost to 200 smart contract platforms.

Starting from ETH, ADA, AVAX, lINK, ALGO, xlm, VET all the way down to micro cap coins worth less than 1 mln $. If you want projects that yet not launched its chain just click on coin and check on which explorers its available. If its ETH only means that project has only etH placeholder while working on its own chain.


Thanks very much, that's very useful actually.

I had no idea that so many L1 smart contract platforms were being released.

Now the only thing is to isolate any level 1 that can solve the trilema or at least optimally work within it.
Can any L1 scale to adequate tps whilst remaining decentralized and secure and maintain composability.

Even if they can could they ever take enough action from Eth to become dominant.

...Tps and scaling, security, composability etc.
This is my first time seeing composability when comparing different chains. You should probably add "decentralization" as part of the criteria since it's what most old school crypto enthusiasts usually look for from my own observation. Another factor is interoperability.

ETH comes in last for tps and scaling but it probably leads on decentralization and security. I have to admit that I have no personal experience in other chains.

Thanks, yes that is a good point. I will add decentralization to the OP.

I will also add binance smart chain.

Made a mistake on the other thread due to only giving people 1 voting choice.
I have expanded that to 4. You can change you mind now too.


Which L1 smart contract / autonomous agents platform are you watching or backing right now.

Please state why if you are able. Which comes closest to solving the famous trilema dilemma  Smiley
Who would you say is worth watching from here?

Tps and scaling, security, composability etc.

Please suggest any new ones or rising stars that I have missed out.

Koinos Network. Own blockchain. Creation of coins and NFTs. Multilanguage programming. No fees. The best blockchain developers. A project without ICO created with your own money. Enjoy the trip friend  Roll Eyes.

That does look look interesting

7. Koinos. ( tiny cap)

Looks to have steems and EOS engineers on it and has a few new technically interesting features.

Added to poll

Do you own DD of course.

You can clearly see that I have listed syscoin as a med or mid cap.  Med being medium.
Would you care to expand on the technical points that you believe stand out regarding the projects you've listed?

Not going to do a big write up or sales pitch for these.
I'll list the interesting technical parts for you to research and investigate.
These will be for mid to low caps, we know the top 50 already contain plenty of technical innovation.

Just because projects are technically brilliant or interesting it does not always mean they will get that much needed network effect or adoption. Keep that in mind. These are interesting from a technical perspective and I feel are all very useful.


1. Syscoin ( med cap)

Zdag,nevm

High tps, powerful smart contracts, main net imminent? Patents pending?



2. Blocknet (tiny cap)

The purest DeX, decentralized indexer and other freakishly impressive innovative applications.
Look to be on the verge actually producing after of years of development.
To difficult for pure novices to initially set up perhaps right now but web UX coming.
Way more pure design than Rune imho


3. OByte (tiny cap)

The first dag design with smart contracts. What more needs to be said about innovation. 

4. Bitbay (no cap lol)

You can't even buy this. No cex can fathom how to list it because their decentralized smoothing mechanism is too complex.
So they are making their own first of a kind hybrid multisig remote retrieval exchange that appears to have a working prototype to test.

Just mentioning because their dev appears to be a genius and a zero cap is just crazy.


5.  Mist ( med cap)

First flash loan based dex. Seems like a very advanced dev team.



Who here can critique novel and interesting designs?

Bring your own. Let's sift through these together.

Looking to add more projects here. Low caps please if possible with novel and useful designs.
Proven dev teams that have been time tested are especially welcome.

Okay thanks yes I see Cmc has just neglected to show it has a listing on those large dex.
I'm in with a few hundred GB now, so will be watching how this turns out.
I will also be dropping obyte into any smart contract chats on reddit that I notice.
Be interesting to see some discussion and debate there. I've not seen it mentioned much on reddit.
A nice deep dive by one of the knowledgeable reviewers there could bring some much needed coverage.

Does any of the monero dev team still follow this thread?

I've been following this DEX for many years and I think with the release of their xlite  and web UX they will become the benchmark.
Can anyone tell me if monero is compatible now with these requirements.

Monero dev member or any technically capable member here.

If not which items are missing from this list.


In order for for a blockchain to be compatible it must support JSON RPC, CLTV atomic swaps, and the following calls:

createrawtransaction
decoderawtransaction
getblock
getblockchaininfo (fallback getnetworkinfo, getinfo)
getblockhash
getnewaddress
getrawmempool
getrawtransaction

gettxout
listunspent

You sound very knowledgeable regarding these level 1 smart contract platforms. Thanks for you detailed reply.
Did not know they are called Level 1 Smart-Contracts, I call those that let you spend on certain conditions as basic smart-contracts (Bitcoin scripts, Obyte conditional payments) and those that react to your trigger as advanced smart-contracts (Ethereum smart-contracts, Obyte Autonomous Agents).


Comparison charts comparing :

Tps, security, decentralization and other important aspects can really get average investors excited.
Found 4 on Reddit, but I doubt they help making informed decisions

https://www.reddit.com/r/obyte/comments/alaguh/obyte_google_and_ethereum/


The main issue is the network effect.

Eth has it and sol is getting some now.  Ideally you want to be able to port over dapps to work on your platform easily I guess.
Or you could bridge the tokens over and use the wrapped tokens on the other network. This way you don't need to deplay or rewrite any new smart-contract.
https://counterstake.org/

Ethereum fees sucks, so it makes sense to bridge tokens from Ethereum to Obyte and use those tokens on Obyte instead for low fees, but what's missing on Obyte that is successful on Ethereum, but not already implemented on Obyte?
* Uniswap - https://oswap.io
* DEX - https://odex.ooo
* rewards for liquidity providers (i think Uniswap doesn't have it anymore) - https://liquidity.obyte.org
* DAI/SAI or other collateral based loans - https://ostable.org
* OpenSea/Rarible - https://cryptothings.gallery

In a way, how many actual users are on Ethereum and how many of them are just bots that arbitrage and do MEV? Ethereum is so clogged because it's profitable to MEV. If somebody has to pay 10 ETH to sandwitch attack somebody, but while doing it will earn just 1 ETH, they will do it.


Let's imagine you had to enter a very public and transparent debate comparing the plus ans minus of obyte compared to most other level 1 smart contract platforms. Do you think obyte could make a compelling argument to state it is a legitmate contender to ethereum, sol, dot avax at improving and solving the " trilema"  

I mean if the best tech most suitable to defi was to win at this stage ( assuming equal network effect for end users and devs) so only considering the tech side. Would byteball be superior or at least equal to these market cap monsters?

So if investors were all super tech savvy do you believe obyte would be up there in the top 20?
Blockchain Trilemma:
* Decentralized - In terms of deciding what goes into the ledger and in what order? Obyte wins hands down, there is no middlemen to decide that. In terms of how many full nodes out there? Currently there aren't many because it's small community, but it is currently much easier to run a Obyte full node than Bitcoin or Ethereum full node. During last 4-5 years, Obyte full node has grown to 70 GB, which is nothing compared to how big are Bitcoin and Ethereum nodes. If Obyte would be as popular as them, it would probably grow as fast as them and will not have any benefit in terms of ease of running full node. But in terms of what goes into the ledger, Obyte would still be more decentralized.
* Scalable - There has been no urgent need for scaling yet, but Obyte already has Payment Channels and there has been progress made on Sidechains. Best part, getting into and out of Payment Channels or bridging to other chains doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. You can already bridge to Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and Polygon, the cost is usually there because claiming on the other chain is much more expensive than on Obyte https://counterstake.org/
* Secure - It might not be as secure as Bitcoin because Bitcoin is over-secured anyway and doesn't change much at all, but Obyte is as secure as Ethereum or even more secure. Front-running is difficult and sandwitch-attacks are near impossible. Can't double-spend and can be sure that your transaction is final when it becomes stable, no possibility to re-org.

But does that matter if you put "blockchain experts" into a room and say these things? No, people can't even agree, which blockchain has more merit than the other, let alone understanding how it compares to DAG. There is still very few people who understand what Order Providers (Witnesses) can do and cannot do. For somebody who is into the MEV-game, the best DeFi platform is the platform where they can extract out most value with MEV.


I have theory that Ethereum will not be as valuable when it finally goes PoS. The reason why Bitcoin and Ethereum has enjoyed those nice gains in price is because miners can't afford to sell lower than what they bought the electricity and mining equipment. Generally, more miners enter the competition and the rewards go lower with halvings, this forces the miners to sell higher. If at one point, miner would not need to pay so much for electricity bills, they could sell the reward at any price. This is the problem with GBYTE price too - if you never had to pay anything to get GBYTE, you can dump it at whatever price. Bitcoiners are used to dump coins from forks, so it doesn't matter for them at what price they dump GBYTE because they got it for free. Past years, it seems like 20-30 USD is the price where it starts to affect those people in terms of whether it is even worth to dump because Bittrex wallet has 100 000 GBYTE, but only 5000 GBYTE is on orderbooks.


Thanks for another great reply.

Yes, I only repeat what I've heard on reddit.
Layer 1 smart contract platforms eth, avax, dot etc
Layer2 is matic aka polygon etc

Would be good for obyte to get injected into discussions comparing smart contract capable platforms on reddit.
Bct has kind of almost died in terms of readership.
The distribution model was a bit of a shame but in time with enough good marketing price will start to rise.
It needs to demonstrate it is a competitor to the other well known smart contract capable platforms.

The search is on from investors to find a platform that can handle defi like eth without the gas fees.
On cmc when you look for 0byte markets there is only bittrex and 1 other exchange. Be good to make 0byte available on uniswap and pancake and pangolin.

Anyway I have a couple of hundred GB of 0byte so will start dropping it into discussions where I see other smart contract platforms compared on reddit.  I think you ( because you understand it deeply) could do well for obyte on reddit especially on R/cryptocurrency
And other subs.

I may also start buying up a lot more now since it has a tiny cap even 10x smaller than syscoin which has only just now added evm.
They have a dag part on top of a pow part. I've dumped all my ada and going into smaller cap solutions that can still provide smart contracts under 500M, these 90 billion platforms are not going to pull a x50 or x100 now.
Obyte still could if investors believe it can solve or efficiently work with in the confines of the trilema.

Whenever I want to open my wallet the following error message appears, is there already a solution for this?
[...] I use Wallet 3.3.2 and a new installation are no success.
Are you using Windows, Mac OS or Linux?

Is this smart contract capable like ethereum
Unlike Ethereum smart contracts, Obyte smart contracts are available to both developers and users. In addition, each transaction in the ETH smart contract costs gas ... "if a developer added a function that needs to go through the growing list of user addresses, the cost of executing that function will also go up as the list gets longer, and ETH throughput is limited with block size, so when there are more users, the fees go up too". This is just a small part of what to chat about, so if you visit this page and spend a few minutes you will find out more, including Features built-into Obyte, Cost predictability and differences in programming languages.


Thanks for that link. I've read it now.
I'm not really a techno wizz if I'm honest. So even after reading those advantages listed in that article from 2019 I would still love to hear from any person capable of analysing these designs and usecases.


So just a couple of quick questions and a suggestion for you guys.

Why not create a comparison chart comparing 0byte with popular smart contract platforms.

Solana, avax, eth, polygon etc.

Then the less techno able investors will see if this is a credible rival.

I see that syscoin is saying their smart contracts will be more " powerful " than that's eth's.
What does more powerful mean? Are there levels of smart contracts?

Can the same sort of apps that run on eth or avax or sol run on 0byte?
I mean I know they are written in a different language not solidity.

Why is this project such low market cap?

Also the name 0byte? Why would anyone rebrand from byteball to 0byte?
This is not a catchy name at all.

Any plans to call it something better?

These are my carefully chosen selection, and I will tell you why. Of course, I am either holding these or accumulating these. They are drastically out of place at their current caps. They are all proven and tested projects that will stand up to any comparison you want to make. Give it a try. Dont take my word for it, research for yourselves.

1. Blocknet: this I believe  will become the primary dex. Binance wanted to understand how they solved several hurdles that binance  were stuck on.

2. Bitbay: first smart contract platform. Think ethereum stripped down and efficient. First elastic supply smoothing mechanism. This is one that is completely under the radar. Possibly the smartest developer out there certainly on a level with the top tier projects in the top 10.

3. Blacknet: this developer is the one everyone copied for the pos3 design. This time he isn't making the same mistake his latest unique design is protected by compulsory airdrop to holders of blacknet. Recognised as an authority on POS. Another developer told me this is superior to EOS in several ways.

4. Zano, this developer is clearly another genius said to be possibly the original dev or part of the team that invented cryptonote  
Some other devs had speculated it was an even more famous crypto pioneer.  Grin


Other notable mentions that have clearly talented development teams that are capable of creating and have created new unique designs.

Obyte or byteball
Nano

There are some other good prospects but they are not near completion or completed.

Do your own research on these and tell me your thoughts.

Feel free to suggest your own findings on other promising projects that are complete or mostly complete.
