Do you guys think that the bull run is over?Huh
IMO prices will hit high levels during the summer (+10k btc). Nevertheless, I can see new all time highs coming in around Feb 2020...
I won't liquidate even a satoshi if btc doesn't cost 25k Cool
9 years ago another dude did something else... he bought a pizza by paying a significant amount of btc.. BAD LUCK Tongue
Another guy bought 200k of btc at 20k and sold at 3k without informing his wife about any of these actions... Now she wants a divorce  Tongue
HODLERS never lose Cool
They lose profits for sure.. sometimes you need to get out early on or you're gonna be burnt in long bear markets

Any news about when Tap will launch an STO??
As far as I know there's only a private sale and there's no update about launching a STO
Is it true that tapn holders earn dividends in btc & eth?
What's the ratio? I mean how much btc & eth do the investors earn for each tapn that they hold??
I think it'll be better if you send an email to the team asking everything you want (regarding the private sale of tapn) in order to be 100% sure that you have the correct information Wink

Why is the thread continuously being bumped by newbie accounts? And they are all commenting on how you guys are collaborating with Brave Browser. (BAT) I suggest you guys find a marketing team in here rather than bumping your thread with those accounts. They can get banned you know and its a waste of time. Spend money on advertising if you guys are confident with the project.

Can I earn Bat Tokens by using the Hooch app? Or Hooch has only to do with tapcoins? I'm a bit confused.. any help? Thank you!
You can only earn bat by watching ads on brave but even this service is not available yet...
Is there any announcement regarding the dates that brave rewards will be enabled???
I've read that this service will be enabled within 2019. No exact dates have been announced...
Brave has recently gained a lot of traction on Android Wink
Brave will definitely become the new mainstream browser in the years coming. But I'd really like to see how Google will respond to this new threat...
Future blockchain projects and all corporations will have to admit it or make their own blockchain .

Hello everyone! I really like your project and when I saw that you partnered with brave I got super excited cause this is the browser I use the last couple of months. I just want to ask a question about bat tokens. Will bat holders be able to redeem their bat inside the tap network even if the tokens aren't loaded in brave's wallet??? What happens if I have some bat tokens in my coinbase wallet?
You can transfer your bat tokens from coinbase to wallet inside brave and then redeem those tokens within tap network

There's a post published on the official page of Tap network on medium which explains everything about the partnership. I think I've read that you can't redeem any bat tokens if they're not in your brave wallet. Nevertheless, you can transfer your "external" bat to your brave rewards wallet and then redeem these tokens inside tap network.

Hello! Are there any news about tap going public? I saw some comments on reddit...
I don't think so.. I haven't heard a thing. Nevertheless, I would like to see tap launching an ICO...
How is this possible? Isn't tapcoin's price stable??
Hey bro you need to check tap's wp again... there're two coins.. a stable one called tapcoin and a security one called tapn. Unfortunately, tapn is only sold to institutional investors but there're some leaks that they may go public in the future. Only time will tell...

Helloo! Can anyone explain to me what's the difference between tap and hooch? Are they two separate things?? Are they partners?
Hooch is just an app being incorporated in the tap network. In my mind tap is the "bigger picture" and hooch is just a part of it. Like.. you can also launch another app (different than hooch) inside the tap network. The whole situations goes like this: tap owns hooch. Please correct me if I'm wrong
But how does hooch work exactly? I mean how do people purchase from a partner inside the tap network?? Do they use a card issued by tap?
Ofc you have to download the app first. It's listed on both google play and app store. Then you have to link your credit or debit card to the app and every time you buy something from a brand being included in the tap network you earn tapcoins. These coins are stored in your wallet inside the hooch app. Once you have enough tapcoins you spend them inside the tap network to buy whatever you like

I thought that tap was all about ads and data protection. This ecosystem is way more inclusive that I was thinking about.. Has anyone used hooch before? I watched the interview of the CEO as well and it seems very easy to install and navigate inside the app. Does anyone know any big brands that accept tap coins??
Don't worry. We all had the same problem in the beginning.. There is a tweet referring to the official partners but I don't know any further information or if they've started accepting tapcoins. Amazon, apple, hilton and many others are among those 250k brands. You can find the tweet here "https://twitter.com/TAPCOIN/status/1106199690381586432".
Thanks for explaining. I read about all those partners at posts in social media and this number of 250,000 different brands blew my mind.. really impressive.

Nice looking project and concept. The team is also well known which is a nice change! I already use Hooch when I travel. Usually such ICOs sell out during their private sale leaving no chance for others to join-looking forward to see progress and purchase some Tapn!
It would be a STO. Aren't tapn securities??
Ohh sorry! You're right.. my bad. Did you check the new post on instagram? https://www.instagram.com/p/BvONEmwgoKr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Uber, starbucks, netflix and more are now partners with tap
Wow that's great news! Thank god I haven't renewed my netflix subscription.. I can see my tapcoin rewards become coffee at Starbucks Tongue

i assume there is no country restriction to use HOOCH app, right? can i connect a visa debit card in this app instead of credit card? not using credit card for quite a while already. but wondering why this project is not getting much attention here taking into account that it has working app with valuable usage? and when is the token sale? the website is currently down?

A DECENTRALIZED MARKETPLACE FOR CONSUMER REWARDS AND DATA
|Telegram|Twitter|Reddit|Medium|Google Playstore| Apple Appstore|
Current State of Consumer Data


Today, the average consumer has little to no control over the privacy of their data, nor the ability to participate in the value exchanges that occur when entities who have access to data sell or buy it. When a music artist’s song is streamed, the artist receives a % of the revenue, however, when large corporations such as credit card companies or social media apps sell consumer data, they keep 100% of the revenue and consumers usually receive nothing. Because consumers are not incentivized to actively participate in the advertising economy, they simply just don’t care when they see an ad. Digital advertising today leverages unpermissioned data and drives less than 0.1% average consumer engagement. Giant corporations like Facebook and Google owns so much consumer data, that they keep more tha 90 cents of every $1 of digital advertising spent, while consumers and their data are packaged and sold as products.


How Things Should and Can Be:


With the creation of blockchains, the user can now store and share this data from a jurisdiction-less system. Identity can be anonymized and individual privacy can be perserved. On a blockchain the public address identifying a participant is also the public key at which the user can receive funds. Value exchange between brand advertisers and consumers can be direct, immutable, and with minimal cost even when the amount transacted is small.
Data such as your purchase history can be permissioned and shared with brand partners without revealing your identity. Based on these data, brands can reward you with lucrative rewards via a blockchain token.
TAP Network has already built a network of over 100,000+ partner hotels, restaurants, and retailers where you can earn for everyday purchases. Link any of your credit cards or debit cards to a TAP Network powered app such as the Hooch App, and make FIAT purchases like you normally would on your cards. Every time TAP detects a purchase at one of our hospitality or retail / ecommerce partners, your purchase data is shared anonymously with your permission, and TAP Coins $ are rewarded to you via in-app wallet.


In this new paradigm, consumers receives majority of the advertising dollars from brand partners in the form of rewards, and are much more incentivized to take an action, resulting in up to 60% engagement rate, comparing to 0.1% average for digital advertising today.

Company Background and Mission:


TAP Network is founded and incubated by Hooch, Inc., a venture-backed hospitality tech company led by experienced entrepreneurs Lin Dai and Jared Christopherson,  with over $7.5M in funding from notable investors including billionaires Len Blavatnik and Chris Burch, VCs FJ Labs, Revelis Capital, Warner Music Group and Access Industries, and renowned blockchain investor Bill Tai, who backed BitFury, PowerLedger and AirSwap. Our advisors include Bob Hurst, ex-vice chairman of Goldman Sachs; Miguel Forbes, Vice Chairman of Forbes Family Trust; Teymour Farman-Farmaian, managing director of Xapo and ex-CMO of Spotify; Sree Kotay, ex-CTO of Comcast; Bonin Bough, host of CNBC’s Clevland Hustle and ex-CMO of Mondelez/Kraft. TAP Network’s mission is to give consumers control of their data and help them monetize it fairlty. In the process, we look to democratizing blockchain for everyone, not just crypto traders and ethusiasts. For the consumer, TAP provides familiarity and ease of “Credit Card Points” or “Airline Miles” to the blockchain space, which can be daunting for tens of millions of everyday consumers. The watershed moment of the masses embracing blockchain requires a use-case applicable to everyone. TAP is simplifying blockchain by making it as easy as earning credit card points. A user’s TAP balance can be used to instantly redeem for gift cards at national brands such as Amazon, Uber, Starbucks and more, or book hotels, dining at significant discounts. Consumers who redeem with TAP can save up to 70% on hotels than paying with fiat currency, making TAP more useful than most other cryptocurrencies.

2-Token Model and TAPN Security Token:


TAP plans to revolutionize the loyalty marketing and advertising industries with a unique dual-token model, introducing 2 blockchain-based digital assets designed to allow investors and users to participate in the decentralized data marketplace:


1.    TAP Coin (“TAP”) -  A 1:1 U.S. dollar pegged stable-coin used as the native token in the protocol.

2.    TAP Network Token (“TAPN” or “TAPN Token”)  (“TAP”) - A digital security that receives dividends in TAP or ETH.



TAP Coin is a digital stable-coin pegged to the U.S. Dollar. Once consumers link any of their credit or debit cards and delegate permission to share data via any of the TAP Network apps, they start earning TAP Coin almost instantly, anytime they make a credit or debit card purchase at any of the 100,000+ vendor partners in the TAP Network. With a stable-coin like TAP, $1 TAP is always redeemable for $1 USD worth of goods and services, from hotels, dining, to national branded gift cards such as Amazon, Uber, Starbucks and more.

The TAPN security token allows accredited investors and institutions to participate directly in the revenue generated from TAP Network’s rollout of a consumer-empowered data marketplace and vastly more efficient new advertising paradigm. Investors can purchase TAPN via an STO (Security Token Offering), and receive quarterly dividends equal to 10% of the TAP Network’s consolidated adjusted gross revenue. Dividends will be automatically deposited in eligible investors’ wallets in their choice TAP Dollar or ETH (additional digital assets may be available as dividend options to TAPN Token holders in the future). TAP Network expects to offer TAPN holders additional exclusive investor benefits, including elevated elite member status, discounts across the hospitality industry, and early access to TAP-enabled debit card when available.


Blockchain Model:


TAP Protocol is a protocol for a market-based exchange of consumer data. For detailed technical schema, please refer to Architecture for Decentralized Consumer Data Exchange Protocol in our whitepaper at http://tapcoin.net.

Within the TAP network protocol, consumers are incentivized to share any type of data about their behaviors or preference, by granting consent via delegates systems such as an app they use, in exchange for a medium of value - the TAP stable-coin. Brands will “pay” in TAP, proportionally to the value of the data which they would access, directly to each consumer. The TAP network is responsible for facilitating the exchange of data, permissioning participants of the network, and recording a ledger of transactions within the network. TAP stable-coin does not have a limit on its supply. New TAP Coins will be minted as needed to be granted from brands or data partners to consumers, and destroyed when consumers make a redemption using TAP for rewards such as hotels or dining credits.  





Security Token Information:


TAPN Token investors directly participate in the TAP network’s decentralized monetization of the highly lucrative consumer data market. While consumers reap the most benefit from the monetization of their data, TAP Network, acting as the initial primary operator of the data network and the first Data Attestor entity, shall receive on-average 20-30% of all brand advertising revenue. 10% of the TAP Network’s consolidated adjusted gross revenue will be distributed as dividends to TAPN holders.
