    Is anyone interested in a platform that will publish older tweets which predict cryptocurrency future value from "crypto experts" and will review them to see how accurate they were ?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2018 10:14 AM PDT

    I am already doing this manually for myself in order to see who could I follow on twitter.I thought if there is a general interest out there we could start a simple website with this goal and add useful features as we move on, for example users with higher accuracy etc..

    New asset based token on stellar (Larimar goes digital)

    Posted: 16 Mar 2018 11:12 AM PDT

    Noted their press release on blokonomi yesterday. Here it is. And then 4chan picked up the chat. I had a look at their website and it is fairly easy to understand which is important for me. For weeks I have not dropped one cent in any new ICO because they just seem to be having an ICO to make money. A coin for air traffic, a coin for dental services, a coin for energy grid, a coin for the sake of just riding the coin wave. However, this one to me is very very different. They aim to solve a problem, which I can understand. They want to change markets, which I ca understand. And they want to change currency which I also can understand.

    Visa speaks out.

    "It is very difficult to route unaccounted money through banks". Seriously? Then how do the multi billion dollar scams happen? Or is it just that political foul play is LEGAL? Or is it just the loss of control over financial system?

    "The guy shining your shoes." I hope you get what your opinion stands for.

    Yesterday I already wrote in a post that we are in a full scale war mode, and these executives of these corrupt houses won't mind stooping as low as they want for maintaining their control. We will have false news, false reports, increased propaganda.

    While most believe that institutional money will enter the system to bring formalization to the system, I believe otherwise. They will do their pretty f**king best to either kill the system or to get decentralization and distributed nature out of the system.

    Next time, you call bitcoin a scam or any legit project a scam, think twice. Atleast I would prefer to be accountable for losing/making my own money rather than be controlled by corrupt houses, who would tell me what I should and what I shouldn't

    Is anyone interested in a platform that lets people find early stage companies and get their free community tokens pre ICO?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2018 09:24 PM PDT

    So it isn't perfect - and we have a lot of room to grow - but I started Parachute a month ago to help people find new companies that are super early and get their tokens for being a part of their first community. We use airdrops - but in a different way - where people get more tokens for being involved rather than just signing up. We have 2 partner companies - have airdropped around 60m tokens to our community of 2000 Parachuters :) check it out - I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

    You can get more info at [parachutetoken.com](parachutetoken.com)

    Also - we're giving out 150m of our own token to our early community - ask for some and we'll give it to ya -

    Cheers!

    Why The GET Protocol Will Be One Of The First Real Use Cases Of Blockchain Technology

    Posted: 16 Mar 2018 04:03 AM PDT

    Introduction To The GET Protocol

    Whilst we are in this bear market, I wanted to bring you guys some information on a project that isn't well known yet and I want to present it to all of you here. Let me first start off by giving you some background on where this protocol has come from, and the team behind it. The protocol is being built by a Dutch team called GUTS: www.guts.tickets, they started with a humble approach back in 2016 and have since grown in size to the point where they are now becoming a very real and serious contender to traditional ticketing companies like TicketMaster. Their team are a passionate bunch with many different knowledge areas, their reason for starting the project is simple, when a new technology emerges like the blockchain the first instinct of many is to create something radical and something that has never done before. The blockchain really shines however, when you can apply it to industries that have deep rooted problems, issues that are widely seen across the globe.

    The ticketing industry is in desperate need for change as currently it is corrupt with unfair control over artists, event goers and issues for nearly any person who has purchased a ticket. There are numerous problems as discussed by many artists and fans out there whether it be from the instant sell outs of concerts, tickets lapped up by bots and then put onto secondary sites for up to 50x the price and unfortunately that is only the beginning. Here's one example of the issues where even Ticket Master profits from reselling at massive price increases.

    The Background For GUTS

    So you may be wondering by now what the GET Protocol and the GUTS Team aims to achieve and how it achieves it. The team first started out with their application GUTS Tickets which uses several technologies to prevent the re-sale of tickets as well as preventing professional companies/bots from buying mass amounts of tickets to an event and then trying to re-sell them. The application does this by having tickets tied to mobile phone sim numbers, the application then uses a series of methods to further secure each ticket such as shuffling QR codes which only reveal a set amount of time before an event starts. This helps with this security and their application over the past year and a half has grown in size, to the point where by the end of next year they estimate to sell over 1 million tickets through the application. They have also been given awards such as this past week in SXSW Austin with the New Dutch Wave StartUp Award

    Whilst the application is very impressive and exciting, it is the protocol that really takes the cake, as it completely blows the doors off the closed ticketing system currently in place and allows any artist/event holder to sell tickets directly to event goers/fans without need for a third party ticketing application, this changes the way the ticketing industry works, which by the way will be a 24 billion USD market by the end of 2021. The GUTS Application will be the first ticketing platform on top of the protocol and they have already used the Ethereum blockchain for ticket state changes as can be seen here.

    Artists can either use the GUTS Ticketing application for their ticketing or they can create their own system on top of the protocol as it is being developed to eventually be fully open source and customisable to easily sell tickets with all the challenges taken care of. In fact in the Netherlands the GUTS application is seeing wide scale adoption, with three of the biggest artists and comedians getting on board. Jochem Myjer, Youp Van 't Hek and Guus Meeuwis. In the past two weeks, Maarten the CEO of GUTS and the three artists mentioned above went on Dutch Prime Time TV (De Wereld Draait Door) to discuss the project and how it impacts the ticketing industry, all three of these artists are currently or will be using the GET Protocol and the GUTS ticketing application to sell their tickets to fans, Jochem has stated that it has several benefits and after having used the system he loved many of the features. You can check out the interview on Dutch TV here.

    So How Does CryptoCurrency come into this equation?

    So you may be wondering, how you can benefit from all of this disruption to the ticketing industry and well I do indeed have good news for you. The GET protocol has a cryptocurrency which is used for every single ticket created and used through the protocol and any ticketing application built on top of it. This cryptocurrency (GET) has several benefits, such as allowing venues and artists to track state changes of tickets that they sell as well as being a great and easy way to effectively transfer value of the ticket from fan to venue to artist. GET has far more outreaching potential than just being used for tickets also. The team have expressed that in the future we could see GET being used for purchases at events, such as drinks, merchandise, food and more. The possibilities of the GET token are truly endless when combined with the protocol and the event cycles we see for various events such as concerts, festivals, theatres, sports events and more. The Value of GET comes in the demand and scarcity of the token. Event Organisers purchase GET and use the token for creating their tickets needed for an event (this then starts the event cycle). At the end of the event cycle, there is a locking mechanism which further adds scarcity to the token.

    The GET token is currently only on IDEX, Radar Relay and Etherdelta which is why it's only at a very low, 5 million market cap and since there is only 10.3 million tokens in supply there is a very very potent potential for this token when it gets further notice (and there will be more announcements and artists using the ticketing application and protocol in the future). There will be a centralised exchange coming Q2 so this should open up the chances for more to get on board with this project. There is a stability fund in place which will act as a siphon filled with GET and ETH and has the objective to always restore its original GET balance to 14% of the total GET issued. This SF supply never hits the open market and effectively brings the total supply down to 13.5 million tokens it is in place to reduce sharp volatility when organisers purchase GET, the more events that use the protocol, the more demand for the token and therefore more GET is bought off the open market.

    If you're interested in further checking out the cryptocurrency here are some quick facts:

    • 10.3 Million GET tokens in Current Circulatory Supply
    • 13.5 Million Total Circulatory Supply
    • CMC

    If you're interested in more information on the GET protocol, the GUTS ticket application and general information: 

    I hope everyone finds this thread useful and please don't hesitate to ask me questions in the comments, I'll make sure to answer as many as I can. If you want more information direct from the team, you can check out the wealth of resources in their blog here.

    I have a project for school in which I'll be analyzing the relationship between the percentage increase in the market cap and the subsequent increase in the value of the coin. I'd really appreciate if anyone had any specific data for any specific coin that's been pumped and dumped.
