Lisk should seriously consider deploying its capital on human resources. Lisk can now spend on top coders to help build the DApp ecosystem. All FUD apart, the platform would succeed if it can prove utility in the long term.

ETH is a unicorn, that does mean something. We are seeing a paradigm shift here.

Did anyone read the presale agreement.

https://ico.lisk.io/presale.pdf

As I already pointed before (and never received an clarification)
Quote
You agree to purchase and we agree to sell, on the terms set forth
herein, your Resulting Distribution. Your purchase paid with BTC is final. We will not
provide any BTC refund of the purchase price under any circumstances. Purchases
with XCR can be refunded until the 1st May 2016. Only the exact amount of XCR used
to purchase LISK can be refunded

People are allowed to receive a XCR refund after the tokens are launched. Feel real skeptical about this.

Saving vs Investing is a age old question.

Saving just means - (risk free investing) - I certain countries like India, you earn 10% PA saving money. (risk free annual interest). Not considering inflation.

Investing is good as long as you have information. Don't invest with the crowd. Invest on something you know that not many people yet know about. If you have no unique knowledge, you should stay away and save.

I don't think a ICO will takeover BTC. Currency is a network effects product and there will be one winner. I hope it is bitcoin. We need to move on from politics and learn to innovate as a community.

Buy on rumors and sell on news. I don't see any major update coming to ethereum in the next couple of months. Better off finding investment opportunities else where.

If you PM theymos then he will most likely remove your avatar for you. At least that he what he did when no one was able to change their avatars in the past. (although he also may do it upon reviewing this thread)

Thanks, let me try that.

The unchangeable avatar problem.

Hello Guys,

I am not yet a full member. I know I cannot update my avatar. But I should be allowed to remove it, I don't want to be endorsing an initiative I am no more a part of.

I understand the rules and appreciate them. I understand that avatars are not allowed unless you are a full member. The problem is I got into this forum way back and guess I did not face the restriction then.

Now I have a avatar of an initiative I was involved with at that time. I am not been involved with that initiative since Jan 2014, but there is no way to change or remove my avatar.

Can one of the moderators help me remove my avatar.


Thanks

Hello,

First of all. The project looks great and all the best.

I had a query regarding the pre-sale agreement. (Not sure if it has been already answered).

In the https://ico.lisk.io/presale.pdf document I found the following clause.

Quote
2.1 Purchase. You agree to purchase and we agree to sell, on the terms set forth
herein, your Resulting Distribution. Your purchase paid with BTC is final. We will not
provide any BTC refund of the purchase price under any circumstances. Purchases
with XCR can be refunded until the 1st May 2016
. Only the exact amount of XCR used
to purchase LISK can be refunded.

Does this mean, people who purchased with XCR can get a refund even after the launch of tokens ? That would rather be unfair I thought.

Re: How can bitcoin penetrate rural India?

Today, these farmers have bank account with a debit card and everyone holds a mobile phone (a basic one).

1. Can something be worked out of this or do you thing the additional device (be it a simple android device) is essential .

@benson Most of them do not engage in on-line banking, they use banks to get paid, ATMs to withdraw and Paper cash to spend.
And Banking regulations don't seem to affect farmers much. I think the idea of a "community center" will lead to something similar to a co-operative bank.

How can bitcoin penetrate rural India?
by

on 08/01/2014, 17:05:23 UTC
Today I met with a head of a Organic farming co-operative initiative in Tamil Nadu and was trying to see how bitcoins can fit into the picture.

I was focused on two things
1. To encourage distribution of bitcoins
2. To encourage people transact with bitcoins

So I asked them if they could issue a very small portion of the profit (say 0.5%) as bitcoins?
They were willing to experiment.

As I was discussing how money can easily be transferred across wallets. The fundamental question was
1. Most of the people in villages do not have access to internet or smart phones. So how are these people going to hold or transact in bitcoins?

So are bitcoins only for literates with a understanding of technology and who hold sophisticated gadgets ?

I wish to personally apologize for the issues with the XPM deposits that happened yesterday. This is not the kind of service we are known for or wish to provide. We had a major update to the deposit script and a few accounts did get affected with deposits not confirming properly, we cleared all the issues within 8 hours. We know 8 hours is not a good very turn around time, but this is not something that happens everyday.

We have re-instated a "Refresh" button in the Manage Funds https://www.coins-e.com/exchange/wallet/manage/ section, This button directly triggers our deposit script to look out for any pending deposits in your account.

Please try using the 'Refresh' button if you don't see your deposits, if in rare cases that the account Refresh button does not work please contact support at https://www.coins-e.com/contactus/ we clear issues as soon as possible.

We are young and are working really hard in the middle of a very rough climate. You guys know how it is with blockchains being forked and new coin client having several issues we do face a very hard time. In spite of all this we have constantly grown, we are now supporting over 50 coins. We are here to build a robust crypto currency exchange. We are incorporating new features almost every day.

I once again apologize for the trouble we put you through, no reason is good reason to have held your funds unusable for such a long time. I assure that we are taking this issue very seriously and that such issues would not occur in the future.

We hope that you will continue to support coins-e and inspire us to innovate.

Cheers
