Yes artificial boost would not be good. Maybe once we are stable we can try this out.

If this is successful in restricting early adopters selling their saffron coins, the value of saffron coin will start getting artificial boost and at a point it will just have a big crash. As sfr is already unstable coz it is very new, this may not be a time to try this out. big crashes only hinder the growth.

It is basically like a foundation where the top members can discuss developments and future progress for the coin. If this club can provide great benefits to members, then people would want to buy as much SFR to enter that club. Buying would be more and selling would be less. Many long term investors have loads of coins and with this they can reap benefits by just having these coins idle sitting in their wallet.

Could u please explain how this could hinder growth?

This is what 1 guy posted on the International forum like a tier system:

Um I do not like this idea. It could hinder the growth and may also be a reason for it to not pick up good prices.

Was just discussing on IRC about a feature like Elite Club to be included in the wallet. For eg. only those with more than 100k SFR in the wallet, can access the elite club.
Elite members will get various benefits. This would also give a reason to hold SFR especially essential for a POW coin. This is something like a Gold Membership like you get some benefits being a Gold member on various places.
At present, haven't thought of what facilities we can provide to elite members. Pho suggested that they can trade for 0% fee on cryptoxindia and also get some shares.

Can u all suggest some more?

An article regarding PeerMarket and SFRDirect : http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/saffroncoins-peermarket-not-to-be-built-on-openbazaar-sfrdirect-by-end-of-september

Good luck to Saffroncoin, and note that 'unocoin' might be confused with 'UNO,' the trading abbreviation of Unobtanium. Questions welcome.

Trade and spend as you will . . . but store in Unobtanium!

Hi,
I would probably be leaving to Shanghai for the Bitcoin Expo to give a talk on Saffroncoin. Would be leaving on 17/18 this month. I will be travelling with the Unocoin team. They have been chosen as panel speakers. Will confirm once we get the Visas which should be in a day or two.

Past couple of days, we have been researching on how to make PeerMarket implementation better. Especially because of OpenBazaar. It has a great UI and has web based content for easier use. Many others are building their markets on OpenBazaar such as Razor's RZRoad.
But we do not want to go the OpenBazaar way. We want to be unique and build PeerMarket as an asset and have great UI just as OpenBazaar but different from it.

We have decided to implement the counterparty protocol for this. Initially we wanted to use this protocol for SFRDirect. But PeerMarket can be built as an asset on top of SFRDirect. This would also not cause bloating of the main blockchain.
SFRDirect will contain a decentralized exchange and PeerMarket. Later we will develop a host of decentralized services built on top of SFRDirect.
The currency which the SFRDirect protocol will be using is Concentrated SFR (cSFR). cSFR will be produced by burning SFR which means you send your saffroncoins to an unspendable address.
SFRDirect is the protocol or a sidechain that would host a bunch of decentralized services hence not bloating the main chain.
We will try to have SFRDirect released by this month and I will give u an update before leaving to China.
We have already started working on this and are setting up the requisites for the counterparty protocol.

At 1:40 in the video is the moment when my transactions fail everytime, after I click the PAY button. I tried so many times (I estimate more than 20 times over many days) to purchase SFR with PayPal, it worked only one time. 

With PayPal now accepting Bitcoin, you can use Saffroncoins on ebay and numerous other places throught SFRBit. Once it is officially launched, we will increase limits on SFRBit so you can spend Saffroncoins for purchasing much more expensive items if u are short of BTC.

Hey guys, the mobile top-up feature has successfully been tested. We are integrating it into the wallet now and should release soon. Keeping community views, we will also be going ahead with adding of buying BTC with PayPal through SFRPay.
But this will be included in another release after a few days because a lot of resources are required and merchant account needs to be created with Unocoin and we need some emergency cash to process those orders.
This would take a bit of time to set up so we will either include this as a standalone release or we will couple it with the SFRaffle system. We will be discussing Raffle in detail later.

A SaffronCoin Twitter Tip Bot is created - https://twitter.com/SFRTipbot

This is the mock of the mobile/DTH top-up service with crypto-currencies (SFR & BTC only at present).

It is a very useful feature for those with prepaid connections. Instead of just trading SFR, why not also use it to recharge your mobile which is a daily need! Again all this integrated in the upcoming wallet. We will be the first to provide this feature within the wallet.
We are calling Precharge for now which is basically Prepaid-Recharge.

Our wallet already has a lot of features which could look a bit piled on. So we are planning to categorize some features. We may add something called SFRCore that contains the best of SFR.

We are increasing the frequency of our developments now. We are planning to hire some more developers this month. We will be doing multiple developments together like the market, centralized exchange, decentralized exchange altogether.

Once we get the local media PR done, we will start looking for extra developers.

The coming few months are going to be really big with some great technical developments and some mainstream implementations.
