the Xaurum foundation video is too centred on "feel good" marketing and hardly any focus on how xaurum actually works. that video might help attract the casual investor who invests on emotion , but does little or nothing to attract the more rational tech-savvy investor. It's defo not something I can forward to any of the investors I know in fintech.

there needs to be a video that explains how it all works and how the xaurum enterprise is organized in more detail.
a tutorial style video that covers:
1. how to invest (whether buying on echanges or buying from masternodes  and how)
2. how the gold supply grows (must go into the specifics)
3. what legal guarantees protect the investor (show whatever documentation or relevant law or regulation might reassure the investor.)

btw I have a little investment in Xaurum. I've kept an eye on the project since day 1 and observed how the team conducted itself and their determination to grow the business . they could have sailed in the sunset long ago but they're instead opening new offices, sorting out all legalities, and always striving to improve.
Xaurum has enormous potential, lets make it happen!

can the devs shed some light on this? at these low prices i'd be interested to invest...but with no legal protection it's not a risk worth taking .

a video explaining how it all works would be most helpful.

last hangout?  
would be nice to know that progress is being made so I hope to see at least some video dev updates weekly. maybe from one of the new offices.
also key will be the economic model (Gaia seems to be a smart cookie) which needs to be solid from the get go, unlike Steemit which started as classic pyramid scheme and now switches economic model as it goes along to maximize the profits of the devs whales (they switched to scarcity cos the price fell too quickly to unload their stash at high prices) . Steemit launched with over 70% of Steem Power in the hands of devs & associates, hopefully we won't see the same rigged crap in Synereo after the burning of half the devs AMPs.

it was unfortunate that the end of crowdsale coincided with BTC sky rocketing, or there would have been a mega pump.
stupid to blame the devs. noone forced you to buy. with investments there are risks. a BTC rise was on the cards, that's why I personally held back on the crowdsale. short term is dire, it'll take a while to get out of the downward trend, but this time next year, if the team delivers on its deadlines, prices will be much higher than they were in crowdsale.
personally I'm happy that the synereo team collected the 4.7m it needed....or the project would have been doomed without funds. that would have been the worst outcome for everyone.

AMP still hasn't broken the 24k support , so a rally is still possible. the problem is the bitcoin rampage, or we would be flying right now.
anyway Synereo on their page are hiring more developers, hopefully we'll see more speedy development in 2017.

i heard all i wanted to hear from Dor in the hangout : the team will double up thanks to the crowdsale funds. excellent.

the only thing needed for a good rally is some good news from the hangout. hopefully Dor will be present, he's been missing since the beginning of the crowdsale. an update on the situation I think it is essential.

hopefully today's hangout will be more substantial than it has been for the past few weeks.
btw Dor you got pm!

the current marketcap is based on the 62 million coins available on the market, which is not the total supply . I've not kept up to date but I think the total supply even after half were burnt is above 700 million AMPS at the very least.  articles reported that half of the total available supply was burnt. that amounted to 731,108,937 AMPs....
ethereum current supply is 84 million ETH. not sure what the total supply is or will be for ETH. I read of about 150 million ETH...so yeah if those are the figures I overstimated the x100. but I think you underestimated.

keep in mind ETH currently is almost x100 the price of AMP infact.
and ETH was selling at over 50k in the ICO when they had nothing to show for it (apart from Vitalik's reputation)....at least Synereo has some tech on github which people can try out right now.
obviously at the moment there's a component of risk....but without risks there are no gains...I personally think the Synereo team has what it takes to deliver on its objectives, though I hope to see the dev team expand. I guess that's what this crowdsale is for.

you can't buy high volume AMPs on poloniex without majorly raising the price (as it is tradng on low volume)
if you buy on poloniex $100k worth of AMPs it would shoot up the price instantly past 30k or more .
also he might have bought when AMP was around 29k earlier on in the day.

there'll be some panic buys on the last day of the 33k price when it becomes clear price won't budge, and with all this accumulation it can skyrocket. but all depends also on the synereo team. they need to release some good demos along the way.
so far i haven't seen anything exciting and the only demo video available it is still that botched vancouver one. not good enough to generate FOMO.

graphene needs to rely on external services for multimedia files so it is not a competitor.
with graphene you can only aim to be a steemit copycat, good luck.

wow that's one great article. should be pinned in the OP. really explains the Synereo techs in a detail I've not encountered on the synereo blog or hangouts.
yes i'm dumb...but synereo's website does not explain things as well as that article does.

one thing that concerns me with synereo is the overlap with ethereum, especially in relations to smart apps.
so I'd like to know what are the differences with ethereum, especially as ethereum will end up using the same Casper blockchain (or am I wrong?)

kudos to the devs for burning half of their stash. for the long term success of AMP I think it is  the right move and hopefully there will be still be plenty of funds for development:

i hope you guys can release a new alpha demo video in the coming days cos that vancouver presentation was a disaster. full of bugs, hardly anything worked.

there's no mining in Proof Of Stake. all initial coins exist from genesis. you can only "mine" (forge) transactions setting up nodes and maybe get rewards for sharing resources.
Proof of Work which requires mining doesn't make it any more decentralized, the opposite infact.

maybe at bnktothefuture they reached the 1 million target and closed it?
selling amps at market price with the crowdsale at 3300 imminent didn't make much sense. so i'm glad they closed it
