really amazing talk here,
keep up the good work radon team.
this coin still flying under the radar and thats perfect to try to get some more:)
totally! im excited to see more people try out the client and see what it can do..also knowing where it can go from here is exciting..lots of really neat applications could spring up using this tech..
definitely agreed. Wayyyyyyyyyy undervalued.
Dev can the software/blockchain integrates a payment gateway (similar to paypal) from a CMS platform so user can use RADS as default currency on an ecommerce site?
Would you be able to clarify your question? What use case are you looking for?
A default RADS payment gateway that will enable merchants to integrate into eg. Joomla and/or eCommerce based website (Fiat to RADS to Fiat or Paypal=>Fiate=RADS and vice versa) instead of using Bitcoin. This will enable RADS to do what mob at HIRE are doing. The Smartchain will value-added to the process once a platform is integrated..
For example a woocomerce plugin for RADS?
yes. wordpress and/or Joomla.. the more the merrier. I can see alot of users/investors jumping onboard if RADS provide pratical use for them. You will need to provide an interface for merchants to choose what exchanges they would like to base their conversion (Fiat=RADS=Fiat) from (e.g. c-cex, bittrex - ofcouse this will mean getting onto bittrex..) and buyers to choose what type of coins they would like to spend (e.g. Bitcoin=RADS etc..).
That's definitely doable. For now, we do have a wordpress plugin that enables us to accept RADS for an ecommerce store. Once the website is live, we will have some items for sale, available for purchase with RADS.
The plugin is linked live to an exchange (for now c-cex) for immediate market value conversion of btc and/or fiat or static?
EDIT: I am interested in starting a site similar to HIRE using RADS. RADS has a comoetive advantage as the smartchain will make things a lot easier (i.e. tracking/sales order) from user perspective
For the moment, it is only static. It shouldn't be too hard to add automatic conversions in the future. You do bring up a good point: the SmartChain enables very easy record keeping and tracking for merchants.
Great to see that you can see the potential here. You are onto something that might potentially change the way the blockchain is perceived. The Smartchain technology (with probably further improvements/integrations) is what some of the financial institutions/banks are looking at atm. If the tech can be further enhanced and rolled out (or easily used by) to the mass then you will be lauging all the way to the bank
My initial questions on the technology are:
1. Are you open sub licence/ white label, reselling or rebranding of the technology going forward
2. Are you open to JVs , shareholding and/or seed funding e.g. via startJOIN
3. Are you willing to setup/open up your identitie(s) and become a fully regulated trading company
4. Are you willing to trademark the technology (this will mean private source code etc..)
To answer your questions:
1. The label "SmartChain" may run into some licencing issues in the future, so if presented with a cease and desist order, that branding may be subject to change. Once we do have our own trademarked brand, yes, better licencing is ideal.
2. Eventually yes, but one of the caveats of establishing 100% decentralized blockchain services is the lack of profit model. We would be comfortable accepting seed funding, but we would not have a clear method to return value for the investors. Currently, value is only returned to investors through staking, utility value through the use of our services, and a rising market price. We are always open to new ways for us to return value back to investors, while establishing as little centralization as possible.
3. Eventually yes. However, see the responses for 1 and 2 for possible issues in doing so.
4. We are currently closed source, and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. Given we overcome #1, #2, and #3, we would be more than willing to trademark the "SmartChain" software, or whatever the iteration at the time may be branded as.
