Re: [ANN] SWARM CITY: First Truly Decentralized Peer To Peer Sharing Economy

Hey guys.... I tried using the site at swarm.city but none of the existing ARC token swap methods work for me as I believe it's because I hold my ARC in MyEthereWallet... what are the options for people like me with ARC in an Ethereum based wallet like Parity or MyEthereWallet? Thanks.

I saw that at the moment, you can use your mew private key in the terminal.

Create a new profile, choose the convert option, then choose the following option, and enter your private my ethereum wallet key :

Call me paranoid / crazy but I just don't get the warm and fuzzies dropping my Eth private key in to a centralized web wallet when it contains other assets aside from Arc. Is there a point where we can redeem ARC for SWT via a smart contract we can send coins to? That would make me feel a lot better Smiley If that is the case I'll just wait for that, if not, I'll have to weight the risks to rewards...

It is not centralized as far as I know. Something like connecting gateways. But I don't have the tech knowledge on it.

It is understandable tho, because you just don't know how reliable it is, and new.

The keypair never leaves your device. Transactions are signed on your device and are sent - after being signed - to a ethereum node.

If you don't trust the Dapp and want to swap your tokens manually , we have written a short technical manual here:

So many newbies are involved into that project. There is no escrow so that I'll avoid to make any kind of investment into that project. Anyway good luck for that sale and have bright future.

The people working on the swarm ( helping onboard drivers and riders ) have been active for more than a year now under the brand Arcade City - and most of them have lots of experience as former Uber of Lyft drivers.

The current Dev team of 4 people have been developing Ethereum prototypes for government appplications since september 2015 - that's also little over a year. Which in that space - is quote some time actually.

Thanks for your interest in the project !

So, according to the ANN:

Quote
Token Sale
Token sale dates : 11/1 -> 11/28

Token sale started 11/1 and the ANN is made today?!

Agreed,
But the price increases only in 4 days, just wanted you to learn to know our project - thanks for reading.

There is not bounty?


  • See the hackathon paragraph in our text
  • plus 2 percent of the ARC tokens are reserved for rewarding future swarm contributors

At long last, we're excited to present to the bitcoinworld the release version of our whitepaper, including our token sale that started November 1st,
10,000 ETH ($100,000 USD) raised in the first two minutes, 33,000 ETH raised so far. [ Live ticker here ].

What is Arcade City?
Arcade City is a decentralized global community of peer-to-peer service providers and consumers. The core technical offering is an Ethereum-based app for web, Android and iOS. Arcade City features an open ecosystem with forthcoming APIs to enable developers and entrepreneurs to easily create their own apps and service offerings as part of the Arcade City network.
Initial service offerings focus on the ridesharing industry, with plans in motion for peer-to-peer deliveries and short-term home rentals.

Arcade City aims to reinvent the sharing economy by combining the power of blockchain technology, open-source development, platform cooperativism, and a decentralized 'swarm' organizational model open to all.

Token Sale
Token sale dates : 11/1 -> 11/28
Current price : 100 ARC / ETH
Next price change : Tuesday 11/8 at approx. 8am UTC (block 2589952): Next price : 92 ARC/ ETH

History
We've been banging on pots and pans since January that we intended Arcade City to be the decentralized, Ethereum-based answer to Uber.

In April we laid out our multi-stage path to complete decentralization over time, then announced plans to submit a DAO proposal ? oops! ? and just recently added a crew of experienced Ethereum developers who've built a functioning Ethereum ridesharing prototype in record time.

In the meantime we've made substantial progress 'on the ground' in cities all over the world, with our flagship ridesharing network in Austin giving tens of thousands of safe rides in a completely decentralized manner.

A hackathon, you say?
Assuming our token sale sells out by the end of November, we'll be throwing an online hackathon open to any Ethereum developers, with a $100K USD value in prizes, payable in ETH or ARC.

We'll announce super final details about start and end dates, judges and such, after the sale, potentially as soon as the first week of November.

The basic idea of the first hackathon will be to build out the functionality described in the Arcade City Infrastructure section of the whitepaper: the offers, disputes, guilds, referrals, reputation, and assurance systems, with a likely priority on the reputation system.
We intend to crowdsource the majority of our Ethereum development via multiple hackathons with everything open-source on GitHub.

Press on Arcade City
