No one can tell the future, but this is the TYPE of project that I love investing in.. I am looking for big things from XBY in 2018.

Love the "elevator pitch" of this concept: your data is valuable, so why not make money from it?

I think the crypto community would be all over this, but the strategies for reaching a broader audience will be essential for growth.. How do you get someone who is only vaguely (if at all) familiar with BTC to use an app that is based on an alt-coin to control something that they barely even know has value?  Seems like a steep education curve to reach most users, so trying to simplify and create a user-friendly experience is going to be a major hurdle.

Looking forward to following along

Can't really tell from the token sale page what the soft cap is, but seems like they have gotten a nice initial investment even without reaching the hard cap.  That really is the best way to grow instead of getting a crazy overhype ICO with unrealistic expectations from the get-rich-quick investors..

Hoping they can continue to build momentum with an outstanding product.

Very excited to have a date for this ICO.  Congrats to the team for getting to this point..looking forward to see progress on a demo and see the continued growth of partnerships before launch!

Just proving it with a mid sized retailer can open up a lot of doors.. it will all depend on the team's connections, persistence, and sales strategy.

Seeing some info around about upcoming 'suprises' and keeping my attention on this project.

Love the continued communication and updates from the team.

Allowing merchants to create their own loyalty programs seems like a great direction.. love seeing you have some current relationships and clients onboard. Too many ICOs seem to think big customers will just flock to them and don't realize what goes into those acquisitions.  Looking forward to reading more on the details of this ICO

There are a lot of crypto projects addressing payments and I think we all agree it is a big opportunity.  It seems to me that the team is going to be what separates a couple of strong companies from the crowd.

Quite the team you have listed on the site.. I will be keeping an eye on this project.  It looks promising

Love when ICOs provide a lot of info, but even though I try to at least quickly read whitepapers, the 3 papers were too much for me.  Lots of good questions answered in this thread though, if you followed along.  Maybe if you could find a way to put together all the questions that were asked most frequently?  

Still a month out from the start of the ICO but looks like this is taking off..

Great communication from the team.  Looking forward to seeing the beta (glad to see you are taking the security concerns seriously before putting something out).

Also, love that this can trade outside of crypto.. it can draw in a much larger audience if something more commonplace is traded such as gold or stocks.

I think I read about this in "Ready Player One" 

Such an interesting forward-thinking concept with VR/AR.  It is tough to implement so I am hopping on this a bit late, but here to follow along and learn about the project.

With brick & mortar retail struggling, a VR-marketplace is something that would certainly be intriguing to retailers....

Outstanding news that you have a significant partnership set up even before the ICO starts - on top of having a working demo product!

I still think the US market is going to prove very difficult with the partnerships and contracts that are in place with large venues, but focusing on the Asian markets or on some other features of the platform like creating your own small events can make this a very strong investment.

Keep it up

Love the idea of being able to be a part of a trading bot without shelling out the high upfront costs or needing to spend hours figuring out how to tweak and set it up. 

The token holder payout of 85% of gas seems very fair as well - as someone else mentioned, a calculator would be a great tool to allow potential investors to play around with how the numbers may work out.

Currently going through the whitepaper in more detail to gain a stronger understanding but looking forward to following along.

Do you have team members who have experience in the ticket industry or working with venues?  It is a difficult space and having someone with connections or experience would go a long way to trying to secure partnerships.  I believe many of the larger venues have multi-year contracts with ticket sellers.

About a week until the small guys get to join in on the action..

Interesting to see how the marketing shifts (if at all) to target the general crypto-buying public who don't want to drop 5 figures.  The "big fish" marketing has been working thus far and there is quite a bit of buzz around so I am sure this will be a very quick sale. 

Interesting project in an area that desperately needs innovation and can benefit from blockchain tech - Looking forward to following along and learning more about how the tokens work and convert in 'real time' to the fiat currency.

The idea of easily being able to make and sell tickets to small events seems like the best market for this.. the big ticket companies already have a tight hold on venues, but being able to create local events is a market that I don't know of any other service going after at a large scale.  Would work great for fundraisers, specialty events, small concerts, etc etc. 

Good catch, I didn't see this when I read through the white paper.  Less tokens in the end makes me feel much better about the ones I will have and their relative value.  

I will have to go back and read through that in a bit more detail.  Thanks

When the federal government has marijuana classified as a schedule 3 drug, it makes testing near impossible. 

With legalization in states and more formalized, safe, professional treatment of marijuana by companies like Paragon, it can hopefully push public opinion even further toward legalization and, eventually, the federal government.  Once it is opened up, there will definitely be plenty of clinical trials and scientific research done to quantify benefits in a more formalized way.

Congrats on completing Round 2 of the pre sale!


I love the blockchain usage but not sure I understand how ParagonCoins will be used outside of the physical spaces.  It says you will create a marketplace, but says you connect to dispensaries, so will it allow online transactions to buy cannabis?  Would the buyer still have to go in person to pick it up?

Anyone else having trouble accessing their site?  DDOS?

Hopefully everything comes back up soon - glad to see the high level of interest in this project.
