Note that the translation bounty has been reopened, please check the spreadsheet to see if you have been accepted.

Note that we require a high quality translation within 3 weeks of being accepted (for the Whitepaper), the ANN thread should be up and moderation ASAP.

Successful translation applicants have been PMed regarding the deadlines for the ANN thread and Whitepaper translation.

We are still searching for the following language as a matter of priority;

Mandarin

Please make your application if you can provide this language.

You should be worried about KYC, many of these ICOs are not properly equipped to handle and store sensitive data.

In fact, there was a KYC leak just this week;

This is why you always preface financial advice with; "Don't invest until you've done extensive research".

I just make sure that they fully understand the risks before investing, and make sure they don't invest more than they can afford to lose.

To all users selected for the translation campaign, please complete your announcement threads within 1 week.

Failure to complete this by the 16th of March will lead to a replacement being chosen.

Please PM me if there will be a delay.

Hello everyone, thanks for the overwhelming response, we are glad to see so many people supporting our platform.

We still have two major translation slots open for the right candidate: Japanese and Mandarin.

If you are able to produce skilled translations into one of these languages please don't hesitate to apply via the main post.

To all those that have responded, do you not agree that there needs to be some sort of centralized news source that promotes the TRUTH regarding cryptocurrencies, and how they can change the world for the better. Currently media bends to the whim of what its reader base want, you can see this as they change their opinion every week, first crypto is dead, then it's about to overtake the world, then it's dead again.

This type of negative message is inhibiting crypto from reaching its full potential, as it spread misinformation about its potential as a token of utility or value.

The administrators and moderators have enough to deal with simply keeping the forum clear of spam, they do not have time to analyse post quality. Also, the issue of alt accounts meriting each other is invalid, they would need to be high quality alt accounts to have sMerit to spend in the first place. In my opinion, I think high quality alt accounts would contribute more to the forum than s***posting newbie or Jr accounts.

Merit is awarded to those that earn it, regardless of who they are, whether they be account farmers or not. If you post something that is high quality and contributes insight to the forum, then you deserve merit.

Glad to see that this thread has garnered a lot of attention, I hope that people have learned something about the current state of the bitcoin, and what they can do to improve their prospects.

Bitcoin should remain in the hands of the community, not be taken over by media hostility. We need to fight for this, blockchain is the future, don't let anyone take it away from us.

Say NO to use of your personal data without your approval! Control what data is passed to any website or service provider through the @safeincom app, no matter if it's only your email address or your verified identity.

Please see our whitepaper for more details.

A simple breakdown of our ICO caps are outlined below;

We know KYC requirements make shopping online a hassle. Safein aims to change that, allowing you to control access to your personal data, and pay with a single click.

Or, if you're in a hurry, check out our one pager.

If anyone does actually pay for this, rather than googling similar images for free. Then at least make sure you're not being catfished, ask for PROOF they are who they say they are, make them say your name in the video, or perform some particular action to ensure it's not just a vid stolen from elsewhere.

The fees aren't really the major issue right now, adoption seems to be slowing due to the mass hysteria caused by the media. Only if we can change public perception can we really improve bitcoin.

In my experience, Whales don't seem to improve the value or usability of bitcoin at all, they HODL their coin promoting artificial scarcity, but the dump phase that comes after screws the economics.

Why do you say only use bitcoin core and not segwit? Segwit is necessary for LN implementation, how will this be achieved with core?

The problem is, talking positive on this forum doesn't broadcast our message to the rest of the world, particularly those who are not yet involved in crypto, and hence wouldn't be browsing this forum.
