NEO Forum / Another take on decentralized exchange built with NEO: introducing Epiphany
« on: May 14, 2018, 03:33:37 PM »
After Switcheo, already live, running and launching their v2 today, NEX (still currently in development) here come Epiphany.



Check here to learn more about it.

This is a vast project, but I think Epiphany's team is the one able to pull it off, and they already made excellent calls to ensure their ambition materialize:
  • The absence of ICO. EPN tokens will only be available to the public once the platform is online and working
  • The choice of NEO.
  • The focus on compliance: They aim to get a Money Transmitter license in every American state, and have obtained a few already (California, Texas, Arizona…).
  • Epiphany is a platform, not just an exchange. The first critical elements of the ecosystem are detailed in the whitepaper: a fiat money exchange platform, a token trading platform, a settlement and brokerage service and service provide access (API).
If you are interested in Epiphany, you can read the whitepaper, and signup to participate in the airdrop campaign to earn EPN once the platform goes live this summer.

Cardano Forum / Re: Best wallet for holding cardano
« on: May 11, 2018, 09:50:27 AM »
Cardano is a PoS coin, so staking will eventually come. Last ETA I saw was Q2 2018.

You'll have to possibilities to earn reward :

1. Running a node/staking pool yourself (running a machine 24 hours) to receive ADA. [Need computer + always on + node install + XXXXX amount of ADA]

2. Delegating your stake through the wallet to another staking pool so you will not have to keep your computer online. [you can do it with any amount of ADA, you don't need to keep your PC running]

Hope it's clear. For the when, check the roadmap: https://cardanoroadmap.com

Nope, not for this one.
Other upcoming aidrop on NEO/NEP-5:
MCT: 1000 tokens / NEP5 you hold
AVA (Travala/Concierge.io rebrand)

The wallet developed by the team, Daedalus is very good. Syncing is a bit long (1-2h) but then you're good to go. You'll be able to store your ADA safely. Moreover, with staking incoming, you'll need to have your ADA in a Daedalus wallet to earn your share so now is a good time to set it up.
It's compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux (took them a while but it's working for a few months). Here is their website: https://daedaluswallet.io/

Considering how KuCoin handled the ONT aidrop (phase 1 is still not distributed), it will be safer for you to hold in your wallet, NEON for instance.

Olek gave some info and links on Telegram, here's the FAQ:

Quote
**FAQ**
1. Max supply: 1B
2. When ICO or presale: No ico, no pre sale. Only airdrop to neo holders.
3. What is airdrop ratio: Havent decided, yet. Follow us on our socials.
4. When airdrop? Probably June or July.
5. How to get it? Hold you neo in wallet.
6. If I hold my NEO in the exchange will I receive tokens? No, Only wallets.
7. Will my wallet supports? Major wallets will be partnered with us so they can support.

**LINKS**
Web site: https://neons.name/index_En.html
Whitepaper: http://doc.neons.name/en/latest/
Medium: https://medium.com/neweconolab
Twitter: https://twitter.com/NeoNameService
Announcement channel: https://t.me/announcements4nns

So what can we get from this?
Given NEO circulating supply (65M) and total supply (100M), an idea of the ratio that would be in the 5-10 NNS/NEO.

It's a good time to be a NEO holder!

NEO Forum / Re: Mining Neo
« on: May 07, 2018, 07:20:23 PM »
Miners are not needed for NEO.

NEO is using the Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus protocol. NEO holders verify transactions and earn a GAS stake for doing so, proportional to the amount of NEO hold.
You can collect the GAS by executing a smart contract.

You also have many projects built on NEO that chose to airdrop tokens to NEO holders instead of doing ICO. Ontology did so a few weeks ago. NNS Neo Name Service will too.

NEO Forum / Neo Name Service (NNS) upcoming aidrop on NEO
« on: May 07, 2018, 03:19:56 PM »
Neo Name Service is a project aiming to provide .neo name service for services based on the NEO Blockchain.

On their official Telegram group, the admin (Olek on the screenshot) confirmed today that there will be an airdrop on NEO, just like ONT did.
Here's a capture of the message:


The ratio and snapshot date are currently not known. ONT ratio was 2 x 0.1 ONT/NEO. I think NNS will be in the 0.3 to 0.5 range.

Another great reason to stack up some NEO. Airdrops seem to be a great way to raise awareness for projects that don't necessitate huge capitals. ONT already went 5x since its introduction a month ago.

The testnest is already live, and mainnet is stated for June 2018.

Here are some resources to learn more about NNS:

What do you guys think about the project? It's mostly intuition for now, but I think it could be big.

Cryptocurrency discussions / Re: why cryptocurrency is far better than cash?
« on: May 07, 2018, 11:32:03 AM »
I think the main advantage of crypto is the trustless part. So many abuses occur when you have to trust institutions (printing too much money, market manipulation, lies about the metrics....).
With cryptos, not only all of this is gone, it's not even possible.

I think it will be very nice for regulation too, to fight tax fraud and evasion for instance in a few years.

It's funny how mainstream media tried to paint a picture of cryptos as shady stuff, while most off the shady stuff in the world occurs with cash (drug and weapon deals...) or through the regular banking system. (EU/US companies working for Syria or other regimes for instance)

I can't wait for the cleanse to arrive, Banks, Insurance, States, Legal Infrastructure, Religious Institutions, all of this need to disappear in a slow death transitioning to crypto. In the end, all institutions will be decentralized, trustless and distributed.

Crypto offer us a second chance to fulfill internet's initial promising: break down the border, connect people and finally offer the human race a way to organize without having to trust anybody else but their peers.

NEO Forum / Re: Decentralized exchange Switcheo (SWH)[NEP-5] announces v2, SWH token surges +25%

It seems pretty good, the interface seems a bit generic but in the DEX universe Its probably atleast average.  DEX and DEX protocols will be how everything is traded I think in the future.. lots of competition though.. from 0x protcol led things like totle, to loopring, to this to blocknet to Kyber.. let the wars begin!

I used it for some NEP-5 trades (NEO, ONT, GAS, SWH, TKT) and it works very well! The only two things I would ask for are already WIP:
- Ledger Nano S integration
- Faster transaction (v2 update)

We'll see how Switcheo fare once the Neon Exchange is out but I think there is more than enough room for the two!

NEO Forum / Parsec Frontiers (upcoming MMO) chooses NEO as underlying blockchain technology
« on: May 05, 2018, 04:05:04 PM »
Here is the most interesting part, addressing the choice of NEO vs EOS:
Quote
Finally, we settled on the delegated PoS with Byzantine consensus, choosing between EOS.IO and Neo customized networks. While Eos is a great platform with undoubtful potential, we chose Neo because it’s currently more mature and industry-ready.

Neo has very advanced smart contracts which support several mainstream languages including C# and Java, and we anticipate players will use them along with the diagram-based solution we’re considering implementing.

The devs of Parsec Frontiers also make a great summary of why NEO will be a great fit for the game:

Let’s summarize, what makes Neo a great fit for Parsec Frontiers:
  • dBFT consensus, combining the instant finality with decentralized block ordering through voting for the limited number of bookkeepers
  • The high performance, promising thousands of transactions per second
  • Split of voting and incentive tokens, that gives us freedom in tweaking the incentive model
  • Powerful smart contract facility, that would allow both us and players to use mainstream languages and tools for smart contract development
  • Native Windows support
  • MIT license and C# language our team is experienced with allow us to customize the platform
  • Platform maturity, comparing to rivals
  • Platform focus on digital assets and digital identity, which is aligned with ours

The graphics are enticing, they remind me of Eve Online. Here's the "NEO Jumpgate":


It's exciting to see video games project planning to harness the possibilities offered by blockchain. Here is a link to the full article if you want to learn more about Parsec Frontiers.
What do you guys think? Would you play such a game?

« on: May 04, 2018, 03:33:37 PM »
NEO's ambition is ultimately to become law. To do so, they must cooperate with governments on local projects at first to prove their solution, in order to gain access to a national-scale one.

Last week, the NEO team was meeting, along with Ontology and Moonlight with the European Parliament.

They work with any government willing to consider blockchain-based solutions.

« on: May 04, 2018, 03:27:14 PM »
I think the history of cryptocurrencies and digital currencies, in general, give us some clues to answer this question. If you read about the cypherphunk movement and the early days of crypto in 2008, you understand a little bit better the upgoing change.

What follows simply is my understanding of it. Bitcoin was created in 2008, in the wake of a global financial crisis largely due to how our governments handle money and debt. The first and main goal of Bitcoin was to take control back over the money to prevent this kind of scenario from unfolding again.
After the crisis, nothing was really done to address the reason for this systemic crash. We are now getting close to another crisis. It will certainly be even more dramatic. Except this time, cryptos have been around for 10 years already and have been gaining traction.

The result of the crisis might be different. Instead of a patch-up to keep going, we might see financial markets going red, driving an unprecedented crypto bullrun from pensions and companies investments.

Cryptos are getting ready to take over. Any substantial crisis in the political, social, commercial or monetary system can now start a series of event that will see decentralization and blockchain take over the previous and crooked institutions.

It might even come from religion, video games or porn, who knows? The human nature is strange, and the blockchain is potentially the most disruptive invention as it addresses the most critical issue of the human race: our inability to reach consensus at scale.

In a fully decentralized and distributed world, we, as a society, might function more like bees: each individual with its free will, but choose to cooperate to the whole for its species and its own good. I think the power of decentralization will be apparent to everyone a long time before that.
