When x10 moon, frens?

In the future you will walk into a store (stores will remain for brand awareness and novelty) and the store knows you (classifys you using artificial intelligence and visual biometrics) and you grab what you like, verify its authenticity (using Devery), and pay by just leaving the store; walking through a wireless reader that updates the Devery ledger for what you purchased. Then the store automatically restocks itself using predictive analytics. This is the decentralized future. The only way this type of information can be responsibly stored and accessed is via encrypted hashes on public ledger like ethereum. (No central authority in charge).Nuggets and Devery is a great combination to see this future to reality! (They just announced their collaboration!)

Just how fucking retarded is anime-chan?

Hai haiiiii~

HAI HAI!

Hai hai!

>>5910069
I was in that pool as well. Only had 2 eth to throw in and threw both in. Longest 2 months ever waiting for Chainlink. Been holding ever since and am up to 10k and now just holding in ledger. Thank you anime chan

>>4925666
There are a few coming up that look very promising anon-chan.

Just not ready to talk about them yet!

ITT we summon anime-chan and ask her (him) for cryptowisdom

*Hai hai!~*

Sorry, I've actually been kinda busy here and there. A weird mix of diving more into crypto, making new contacts via discord (where I am more active) and real life, etc.

Anyways, I *have* been keeping an eye on upcoming ICOs. It certainly helps that ODN and LINK have done well (though I fear they're being pumped right now), and that the market seems to be heating up after the whole China thing.

Right now I'm planning on throwing a big amount into Airswap.

>>3382357
Well, I'm taking into account (and I admit its an assumption) that future services/apps will be built on top of the blockchain. If nothing is built, there really isn't anything to drive value, right? That's why I don't place as much a focus on coin supply. Now, if there was a platform with an excessive amount of coins and no one was really building on it, then I'd agree with you.

>>3382469
I still plan on putting in as much as I can into Kyber. Low individual cap means that people who value the project (of which there are a lot of, some who are attracted *just* because Vitalik Buterin is advising it) will want to buy more once it gets on the market. Or they've been buying up whitelist accounts (there has been a brisk trade in the past few weeks, with some selling for an ETH a piece).

Though I will confess I'm worried that it may be a bit overhyped.

>>3382798
Probably flipping. I want to put in more money into Chainlink, and the ICO being pushed up to the 19th gives me time to raise more money.

>>3383137
Looked into the basics. Funny, I had an idea for a crowdfunding platform like that in college! Though it was just an idea that I couldn't execute. However, I think will pass. Not because of the project itself, but because I want to hold on to money for more interesting projects that are coming up.

>>3360138
I believe anime-chan would lead me to lambo-land. I guess I was mistaken.

>>3360143
Yes.

Hai hai!~ Just passing by because someone told me I was mentioned.

No, I'm not on Telegram (I am on Discord, but not in Sanity because I felt it's too rowdy; I prefer quieter places).

And regarding what someone was wondering earlier: I'm passing on BitDice. Though I *really* like the idea of a full blown casino, along with the marketing, the platform, the design, etc., I got turned off when someone in the slack about for details about the development team (not a single appearance in the website and the white paper!) and the response was:
>Since we are dealing with a highly regulated gambling industry for which many things are still in a sort of unchartered territory, including the ICO legislation, we decided not to disclose the Team to avoid the potentially harmful legal liabilities.
>According to the Prospectus/Whitepaper, part of the proceeds is meant to fill that gap and allow us to become a fully transparent and regulated entity. What it means is basically that we will introduce Team members as soon as we put all legal things in good order. Up to that moment, our investor community recognizes us based on a long track-record of being a decent player in crypto currency space.
I believe them in this, but I'd rather invest in something where I know who I'm dealing with, you know?

Plus, I have my eye on another gambling-related project that will ICO in the future and I think could do better, even if it's slightly smaller. I won't name it (where the fun be in that!), but I can tell you that you can find it if you search through ICO Alerts.

You'll know it when you see it and research it!

*Hai hai!~*

The blockchain snapshot for DOM is in exactly 38 minutes, on the hour! You have to have your MBRS in your ETH wallet, *not* in an exchange. MyEther Wallet is the preferred location.

Distribution (thanks to great progress on Slipstream) will occur within 24 hours of the snapshot. Then there will be a 24 hour distribution verification period. Upon passing that, the distribution will be declared complete!

>>3294818
*Hai hai!~* I can explain before I go to bed!~

So today at 12pm (Central Time, US), MBRS will be taking a blockchain snapshot. Any ETH wallet holding MBRS at the time of the snapshot will later get 100 Domain tokens (DOM) per MBRS for *absolutely free*.

So what is DOM? Basically they want to bring blockchain to the domain name secondary market. While there have been some crypto attempts to change the primary market (Namecoin, Emercoin, etc.), there hasn't been an attempt to build a decentralized aftermarket. If DOM can do this, then long-term it can take a huge bite out of GoDaddy and the like. Maybe even slowly replace them!

And remember, the domain name market is huge:
>http://www.verisign.com/en_US/domain-names/dnib/index.xhtml#new-gtlds
330.6 million domain names, with millions added each year. Yet there aren't really tools to compare the best value of buying name sites. DOM apparently has a new way of auctioning off domain names with no counter-party risk, a major reduction in all the associated risks, and the ability to access visitor data in real time for domain valuations.

This is probably the most valuable project on the MBRS ecosystem so far. When its listed on EtherDelta, I'm thinking of buying up some more! You can see more on their website:
>https://domaintoken.io/

Anyways, buy MBRS before midday to benefit anon-san! I'm going to catch some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow for the air drop!

Oh, and as some of you might have noticed from the white paper, the founders and developers have operated a lending platform since 2015. Here's the link:
>https://blackmoonfg.com/

And I feel like I need to stress this again since people are asking me in the discords: I see this as a LONG term hold. If you're not fine with that, consider other projects.

...though you probably missed the Monetha flip. Gotta tag along with a whale or spend a fortune on gas to get into those kinds of ICOs.

>>3284530
It's actually pretty neat! But I'm still debating whether to put in money or not. Plus, I missed their tier 1 whitelist spot, so I'll either watch from the sides or try to join in the flipping post ICO (assuming I'm really crunched for cash).

>>3284607
*Hai!~*

Try the slack if you need help:
>https://blackmooncrypto.herokuapp.com/
They're rather responsive.

>>3284701
See the long-term bit. Though these guys are more experienced and have a better plan. I refer you to page 10 of the white paper on comparing Blackmoon to Iconomi and Melonport.

Well, it seems like it went over 300 ETH.

From what I'm reading in the slacks, this might not be the end since it was only a slight amount! So there is still some hope, anons who contributed. Worst case scenario though: you might get refunded their ETH.

I'll try to write an email to Sergey to see if this can slide. Fingers crossed!~

>>3231836
Hai hai!~

OP, from what I'm seeing, you guys look like a dev team whose previous company was acquired (kudos!) and are now moving into the blockchain space under your own studio.

While that's nice and all, it seems that all you have right now is a concept for a game that according to your own roadmap won't be ready until late next year (an eternity in the crypto world). And you're basically asking us to finance you guys on the basis of your own history and personality, at least until the white paper for the game comes out next month.

Don't you think that might be pushing it a *weee* bit?

>>3183208
Hai hai!~

So I've been looking into ChainLink for the past few days (ever since someone mentioned it on the discords). And you know what? I'm really interested! If what I'm reading is right (still waiting on the white paper though, sadly...), then this thing links external off-chain resources to the blockchain.

What does this mean? Well, right now, smart contracts can't be executed on things happening "off" the blockchain. Say my house suffered flooding because of a hurricane. I'm insured, but I would have to wait awhile for the insurance company to verify everything before I get my payment. But what if there was a way to make it so that in case flooding, sensors would detect this, relay the information, and trigger a smart contract that would immediately pay out money to my bank account? Or another example, say that that I missed a payment on my leased car. A smart contract could activate, making impossible for me to start or even open the car until I pay up the money.

In other words, if you solve the "middleware" issue, then this could change how entire industries work. This could be HUGE~

In addition, these guys have a working prototype (always nice to see when compared to projects with just proof-of-concepts), are partnered up with SWIFT (basically the incumbent giant messaging network used by banks which blockchain threatens to destroy with its very existence), the World Economic Forum (ie world leaders, business leaders, and big money: the annual forum), Cornell's specialized tech school, and more. AND just yesterday they're adding an advisory board with heavy hitters:

>>3155441
I'm actually looking into Tron, and am quite interested!~

However, I'm not going to do anything until I see a (actually readable) white paper. I want to know what I'm buying.

>>3149398
I urge you to do your due dilligence before putting money into an ICO, anon-san! Sales pitches and concepts may sound nice, but sometimes when you dig deep you find things might be emptier than they seem.

>>3149440
A-Anon, I've never talked about Ardor. Ever. You can check through the /biz/ archives and see for yourself. Maybe you're thinking of someone else?

>>3149445
There are *7* promising ICOs coming up in September (Science, Kyber, and Enigma are three of them) that take place within 8 days. I'm going to go over all of them in a thread or two on /biz/ sometime in late August/early September.

>>3149484
Alright anon, does this one work?
