Re: [ANN] Zcoin (XZC) - Implementing Zerocoin technology for financial privacy

Hi,

love the project, got a lot of zcoin, unfortunately Im in for the anonymity and not the tech  Cheesy

I downloaded the wallet, encrypted it but I cant figure out how to get my private keys....

I came across this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/zcoin/comments/7gr877/private_key_question/

Is thats the way to do it? And if so, how can I acess my Zcoin Wallet from a different computer?


This might be obvious and easy for every techie out there but me and a lot of others are lost...as I stated above I love the fundamentals about this project but in my opinion you need to step up your UI and Marketing game.

How is it possible that there aren't 10 tutorials on your homepage for newbies like me. There is one short vid about the wallet and a short faq section....

Actually there is some good marketing advice on reddit as well:

https://www.reddit.com/r/zcoin/comments/7hihdw/marketing_approaches_that_not_many_coins_are/



Long story short, keep up the great work but dont forget that crypto is completely unkown to most people out there Wink

Re: [ANN] TOKEN SALE - Gladius Network [GLA] - DDoS Protection On The Blockchain
by

So, do you plan to increase the website security or just lend your bandwith to absorb DDoS attack? After the token sale ended, what we can do with Gladius token? I hope not just for trading.
Dependent on funding, we will be adding features like Web Application Firewalls, custom page rules, Rate Limiting, and Auto-SSL which would provide more security than a website on its own. In addition to sites getting better security, they will also have improved load times as well. The best of both worlds!

The Gladius token will be the core of the ecosystem. Websites will use it to pay for CDN and DDoS protection services. And nodes will earn these tokens and be able to sell them back. So it's anything but a token for trading.

So basically you dont need an own token, you just created one in order to raise easy money through an ICO?

Why wouldn't I pay your company with Fiat or Bitcoin?

Re: SEC, Howey Test and Token as Securities

If thats the case, this should be the number 1 topic in the crypto world. Once the SEC starts their hunt, there will be a lot of FUD in the crypto world...

The problem is manpower and  resources though. There is not near enough to track each and every Bitcoin and crypto user. It takes hundreds of millions and tens of thousands of people to do this... way more than it is worth. Then you add the fact that each coin has its own configuration/setup... they are not identical and then we have others like Monero which are literally 100% anonymous and impossible to trace. I just don't see how governments will be able to get around these obstacles.

Im not worried about banning cryptocurrencies Wink Monero wpuld pass the Hoewy Test anyway.

Im worried about a lot of projects getting delisted on the big exchanges...if thats happen, there will be an altcoin breakdown like we havent seen before.

SEC, Howey Test and Token as Securities
by
SilverTrader
on 04/10/2017, 21:53:51 UTC
Hello Crypto Supporter,

are there any discussions going on at bitcointalk about the SEC declaring tokens as security and therefore hinder trading those.


The SEC uses the so caled Howey Test to determine if a token is classified as a security.

More about the test: http://consumer.findlaw.com/securities-law/what-is-the-howey-test.html

Interesting paper from coinbase with a test at the end: https://www.coinbase.com/legal/securities-law-framework.pdf



So I wonder if there are any lists out there of tokens who potentially could end up as securites?


As far as I understood a token who pays some kind of dividend in order to reward token holders is more likely to be classified as a security?

TenX would be a prime example for this.


Can anyone elaborate on this?


Thx in Advance!

guys do you really think healthcare needs blockchain so much?? i don't trust this project

It does. Makes so much sense to save medical records in a decentralized manner.
That's being said, it doesnt mean you should trust this projects Wink


BTW is there something like a roadmap for Patientory? Coudlnt spot one on the homepage.

I keep wondering why they dont hire a couple of UX Deisgner and rework the landing page? Feels like 2002 when you vist no limit coin  Roll Eyes

And spend some money on a image film and so on.

Really disapointed with the marketing strategy so far....no limit has such a big first mover advantage but apparrently they dont wanna take advantage of it.

Seems like a really promising project! Team, Marketing, Partners, Seedinvestements everything looks solid Smiley

I just struggle with the understanding why Viberate needs a Blockchain and an own coin to operate their buisness. Seems like its doable without one?

In my oppinion the STOX team (https://www.stox.com/en/) has been great at marketing their ICO as well as communicating with their Community (for example telegram)

Totally agree with you on this one. Behind STOX is an already existing company. That's a huge plus imo. Same with OmiseGO.

i have never seen anyone aim for "mainstream" adoption. everyone is only aiming for having a higher price through hyping things up and getting a good pump going.

ArtByte, the digital currency supporting artists has aimed for mainstream adoption since it launched in May 2014, and continues to grow in real users.

http://artbyte.me

Not sure if Artbyte is a good example for excellent marketing. Rathe the opposite. Looks like a promsing project but the first thing I would do: get an UX Designer and redesign the landingpage  Tongue


i have never seen anyone aim for "mainstream" adoption. everyone is only aiming for having a higher price through hyping things up and getting a good pump going.
and so far the best advertising team that i have seen belongs to ethereum. they spent a lot of money on it too. with all the weird fake articles of news. with the seminars they start and all the social media stunts it has been the biggest one so far.


Well I agree with you on ETH. Most Top 30 coins are doing something right Wink But that'S just stresses my point. Get your name out there or never get to Top 50...

This project either scam or dev very stupid. Blockchain is very bad to store data. Large data not possible to store on Blockchain. Also blockchain is opposite of private. All transactions is visible to everybody. This is what makes it a blockchain.

Do research before buying scam coin. We have many years projects figuring out decentralized data storage. siacoin, storjcoin, file coin figure out solutions to this problem. Factom project exist because blockchain is very bad at storing large data.

Trust me, I have masters in computer science. Or don't trust me and do research yourself.
Use case for blockchain is always to allow 2 ppl to trust each other with payment using smart contract. Not data storage.

Can anybody comment on this issue?

Yes. What I've too realized is support from a strong team and or a large community makes any coin successful.
Just look for the frequency of posts in the forum and reddit subforum of a coin, you'll see it's future.

Well I tend to agree but for me really, a good product and a vivid community are mandatory. If you dont have that, gtfu Wink

But beside that, a good salesforce is everything.
A lot of startups actually fail at selling their product. They overcome all the challenges in creating something useful, have an excellent team and so on. But their inexperience in selling and marketing is often times the end of story.

In the top 200 coins, I bet you find a lot of promising projects that would probably double or triple in price in a very short time, if there was more proactive marketing. And a lot of those coins actually need mainstream adoption in order to be sucessfull. So it's not a pump and dump, these coins need customer...think of all the gaming and marketplaces products out there. They will only succeed, if people actually start using them.

Coins with best Marketing Teams/Campaigns

on 21/08/2017, 00:18:11 UTC
Hi Cryto Community,

I'm convinced that beside an excellent working product, the marketing department is the most important thing for any cryptocurrency at this point in time. We are so far away from mainstream adoption, so companies need to get their name out there, explain their product and visions.

For example DASH is doing a very good job in getting its name on social media and so on.

Ten X woud be an other example. You can't miss Julian Hosp on Youtube these days. He is everywhere and advertising for their creditcard.


On Bitcointalk there are a lot of threads at the momemnt, complaining about why coin XY is undervalued, doesnt get the credit it deserves and so on. Most of the time it is because of a lack in marketing.


What are your favorite marketing teams? Which coins are doing a good job in getting their name out there?
