Re: Building a store that accepts ERC20 tokens

I know people are trading tokens, putting them on exchanges to sell into either BTC, Ethereum or fiat.  However, are there any examples of projects setting up online stores where these tokens can be directly spent on goods or services?  It seems that using Metamask there ought to be a standard interface somewhere for these kinds of transactions.
Many projects have already been created in this sphere.The question is which of them really work.

Which Projects are the best examples of this?

Re: Why KYC is important?

A lot of ICOs are facing a problem from their investors due to the KYC. Voluntarily complying with KYC regulations provides many advantages to the Offeror and its investors, even if they are not currently explicitly mandated to enact such a process.

1. Cryptocurrency exchanges are beginning to exclude cryptocurrencies that did not properly implement KYC processes. Thus, not running such checks poses a long-term risk to a project. The Financial Times reported that New York Stock Exchange-backed GDAX says it “plans to list only a fraction of the hundreds of new digital coins that have been invented this year”

2. Voluntary KYC compliance may help ICOs reach a larger global audience and expand the number of jurisdictions in which they can take place. Such compliance allows easier reach to investors in America, Britain, Canada and elsewhere.

There are other restrictions also imposed from SECs and banks which greatly limit the activity of the company in the future.

We know not everyone is happy about KYC and some people don’t agree with it ideologically, especially when it comes to cryptocurrencies, where transfers are anonymous, or at least pseudo-anonymous.

However, for the adoption to seamlessly occur, the company holding the ICO needs to have KYC, which otherwise will create issues for the company in the long run, which is bad for both the investors and the holder of the company.

KYC is not done by a company to know where their money comes from. To be honest, a company rolling out its ICO cares about the cash inflow and not about their identity. It is a means of due diligence so that they are not prosecuted by their country of operation.

If you build a store that accepts them they have more purpose than Bitcoin.  A token with stable value is far easier to use as a medium of exchange than Bitcoins whose price fluctuates wildly and is non inflationary.

The small market value of tokens also make them easier to tailor fit into a micro ecosystem.

Has anyone coded transactions like this with erc20 tokens?

Does anyone have any statistics on how many people are in this forum?  Just curious how big this forum is compared to other places where people discuss cryptocurrency.
According to 2 MILLION users and their STATS, there are 90993 users with "last activity within this year from Jr.Member to Legendary + Copper members".

Great thank you, that is a big group!

Re: Do not respond to FUD threads!

Guys it's becoming more and more popular to spread fud on this forum, 

this is a good thing. i would actually go as far as saying some of these FUD topics must be stocked to the top of each board so that people can see them in the long term. people, specially newcomers need to become familiar with the concept of FUD and learn how bullshit it is so that they can start seeing behind the curtain.

for example you need to go back in time and check old topics, for example from last year as bitcoin price was rising. during the rise from $1000 to $3000ish there were a lot of FUD comparing bitcoin to its 2013 trend and they kept putting that chart on the current chart of that time and say it is the same and price will fall down to $200 again. = complete nonsense.

This is a really good point.  Even if all the FUD posts here were removed there would still be thousands of them on other forms of social and even the mainstream news.  To an extent it is better to see them, and learn if dissect whether there is any validity to them.  Sometimes........everyonce in awhile they bring out something that is valid.

While I am not PRO Fud, there does need to be room to voice true and accurate concerns about prices, volatility, risks, and problems in the market.  To me the big thing is not to eliminate all negative topics but make sure they are fact based and not simply "The Sky is Falling" hyperventilation but we don't want to be ostriches with our heads in the sand either.

Only invest what you can afford to lose.

The best way is:
A) Have a useful skill
B) Find a team working on a project in your area
C) Offer your services to that team

You will learn a lot from doing that and gain access to that teams projects gains.

The equation to growing in the forum seems pretty simple:
A) Post a lot
B) Post quality

B) is where people seem to have the most issues.

Also being funny seems to help quite a bit.   Cool Grin Grin

I would commission a painting of them and send it to them.  Have the paint be with them holding your currency or with a pin of currency symbol.  Appear to their narcissism.
