Good time to invest 

I can confirm this. One of them is still living in Indianapolis together with his elderly granny and two twin sisters. Another guy moved to paris, and started a new firm with karpeles, that was later rebranded to Crypto Incubator. One year has passed since they developed a new business model for their Incubator, and both guys are still working to enhance it even further.

What?! do you have a link to this? This is so bad.

I did some searching, its all here: https://christopherdavid.co/in-the-spirit-of-transparency-e8037d9a0bfd#.pt7pxv4fb

Looks like we're getting a swarm.city and arcade.city is going to ask for more funds.. 

Aahh ! Ok..
Target mobile applications ready for test?

With an impressive volume of ... $34

Great pump?
Arcade Token Arcade Token (ARC)
$0.112682 (1067.11%)
0.00012560 BTC (979.72%)

surprised to see none of the investors posted here about what happened. It seems the dev team split up or something and they took the ICO funds to start a new project, in other words they stole ICO funds and ditched this project for a new one.

This must be the new way to scam investors out of funds.

Dead thread it seems lol.

Arcade token currently 10 sats

http://coinmarketcap.com/assets/arcade-token/#markets

Read more about Arcade City , the decentralized ride-sharing app on the website.

Looking interesting, good concept and vision ..
Im support !! 

soo many ico coins flood the crypto market.

So if a normal user uses the app and purchases smart tokens and displays their ARC balance in dollar amount, you're saying that the dollar value will go up and down? How practical is it if the ARC value greatly varies within a short period of time? I think this might cause fear to those who don't know what tokens are.

The people working on the swarm ( helping onboard drivers and riders ) have been active for more than a year now under the brand Arcade City - and most of them have lots of experience as former Uber of Lyft drivers.

The current Dev team of 4 people have been developing Ethereum prototypes for government appplications since september 2015 - that's also little over a year. Which in that space - is quote some time actually.

Thanks for your interest in the project !

it is cool that arc already had quite large community out there... but still i am a little bit concern about the apps delivery.

Why are all these newbie accounts fighting among one another like this ? Also I see noone addresses any of my previous concerns.
Not looking good.  

We need to be kept in the loop. What's going on ?

Congratulations you have been added to http://icocountdown.com

Never miss a crowdsale again.

 

So, you mean that you gave an advantage to a preferred investors before announcing this one to public?
A bit shady, don't you think? What was the preferences given to the OTC investors anyway?

P.S Since when FB and Twitter became the official place for announcing crypto startups? Is this an internal affair?

I have been a follower since the March and love what you guys are doing keep up the great work totally worth the rest of my eth   <3 <3

I'm glad I have sugar for your tea...........................

*YOU* really are your best customer. Keep up the Uber killing.

techcrunch.com/2016/06/07/how-a-30k-member-facebook-group-filled-the-void-left-by-uber-and-lyft-in-austin/ now at 41,000 plus an additional 560 cities and 49 countries. All starting to know more about CRYPTOCURRENCY. Id say that is actual mainstream.

Mainstream is everywhere you let it be, basically. The forums went mainstream in 2010/2011. Because nobody did anything effective to prevent it.

Mainstream (ie shit) is much like entropy: it requires an active expenditure of energy to keep something from going to shit. Most of everything is shit. And the global amount of shit is always on the rise.

Who are you and who is sponnet?


I was expecting ARK to gather $100K in weeks but they did it in minutes. I guess mainstream is outside btctalk 

The thing with iphones and uber killers.

http://i.imgur.com/L6wqtf0.jpg

And notice that I actually do want to inhabit a world where iPhone and Uber and all their "killers" are long dead. But mainstream everything is not the way. That's what got us here in the first place. And yeh I made 5 bucks yesterday on this. Thanks to my friend who referred a friend I should say, bc the thing doesn't even exist. Wish and fact are often farther away than we perceive.

I have the same opinion, dude! By the way, why no escrow, dev? It will increase the appeal of the project.

We have built a decent following these last 10 months and were focusing on selling to the mainstream first so that our drivers and riders would have a shot at getting ARC before the cryptoworld new about us. we paid for no marketing and only promoted our sale on facebook and twitter 5 days before the sale. most of what we raised was mainly people who never heard of cryptocurrency in their life. Check out the links provided and feel free to ask more questions, ill try to get our dev team in here soon. thank you.

From: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/so-you-think-youre-going-to-start-a-bitcoin-business-right-124441
So you think you're going to start a Bitcoin business, right?

«Okay, it's not a crime. It's just the first step down the road which brings pretty much 9x% to crime within six months to a year. So, here are some simple easy steps for your convenience.

0. Starting a bitcoin business is a liability. The first thing you need to understand, and you need to understand it well. At sixteen hundred hours while you were sitting around your living room scratching your ear you were worth X. Your life, your ideas, your business, the shit around your house that you own, all that which makes up your life, added together, worth X. At sixteen fifteen, eight minutes after you had started your Bitcoin business you were worth X-k, where k is always positive and SIGNIFICANT. Starting a Bitcoin business is a liability, it makes you worth less. In fact, all the rest of your life in Bitcoinland will be attempts, more or less successful, to limit and reduce that liability. This is the outlook you must have not in order to be successful, but in order to have a shot at it. This is the outlook you must have in order to not guarantee failure.

1. Identify yourself to the community. This means, at the very least, creating a WOT account. If you do not have a WOT account you are not part of Bitcoin business. This is the criteria, no matter what you might think. That's where everyone looks, no matter what social media might be telling you. If you aren't in the WOT you aren't in Bitcoin.

This might also mean making a few social media profiles. The difference between an account on StumbleUpon called MyBTCBiz, a reddit account called BtcBlaBla, a myspace, tumblr, whatever and a forum account called MyBizPr is nil. They're all the same thing: social media profiles. Sure, they may be useful. You wouldn't think to substitute a forum registration for a company registration IRL, now would you? Same thing here.

2. After completing step 1 spend at the very least six months learning. This attitude whereby you think you're great and valuable, so great and valuable in fact that you had the business idea first, then you ran into Bitcoin and then in the heat of the moment saw to that formality of a forum account so now you're ready for "investment" five hours later after dealing with the pesky minimum posts rules is bullshit. Pure bullshit. This isn't how it works, if you've not been in the WOT for six months you are not ready to start a Bitcoin business for reason of intellectual incapacity, irrespective of what you might think. (And yes, of course you will think you're the exception to this rule. You are not the exception, you are just unskilled and unwarare of it. The rule is exactly about you.)

Yes, maybe if Warren Buffett decided to go into Bitcoin he'd just put a notice on his Berkshire Hathaway website identifying his WOT handle and be ready in five minutes. The reason Warren Buffett can do that and you can't is that you're not Warren Buffett. Yes, one day you might become the next WB. That doesn't mean you're it today, consumer credit does not work in this field.

So, what you do during your six months is that

2.1. You buy some Bitcoins. Get a good idea of what the options for doing that are, how the exchanges work, how the OTC market works (if by now you do not know what OTC or WOT stand for add two months to your lockdown as punishment for being the sort of idiot who, when he encounters words he does not know, instead of investigating their meaning brushes them off to "get on with the reading").

2.2. You sell some Bitcoins. Get a good idea of how that works, how you get your money back out, what the limits are, so on and so forth. You wouldn't want to discover later that you have a billion dollars in Bitcoins you can never spend in any way, other than by donating to the Bitcoin Gates Foundation now would you? What sort of WB would that be?

These are not a waste of time. They are here to give you an idea of how your future customers will be seeing life. You want to buy some Bitcoins even if you don't need them, and sell them even if you don't need to and buy back just on general principle. You are unit testing the currency. Boring? Fuck you.

2.3. You read, on this forum, and you discuss with the market participants. You get your pecking order straight. Who are the movers and shakers? Whose word is worth 10k Bitcoins no questions asked and from whom? Why? You get the history straight. Who were the scammers, historically? How did they do it ? What are the patterns? How did the people who matter react, and why? What does that say about them, how does that color their relationships among each other?

If you don't have the list and don't comprehend how the interactions work, if you look at DeathandTaxes and have no fucking idea who he is, if you think we're buddies cause I mention him by name and so forth you're not done with this. Must lurk moar.

2.4. You ask questions. Only on step 2.4 do you ask questions, by the time you're here you have already done a lot of work! You have sunk into this upwards of a hundred hours of your spare time, whether you like it or not, you've filled half a notebook with dumbass scribblings, you have fucking hand-drawn maps hanging from your bedroom wall. This level of intensity is not an upper bound to aspire to, but a minimum requirement.

Your questions will get a lot of stupid answers but also a complete set of correct answers. Pick the set, disregard the rest, you're on your way.

3. Announce your business plan. If you think your business plan has to be kept secret because otherwise others will steal it you are probably too stupid to be in business (not just BTC, but in general).

Let me explain to you how business "stealing" works: at the time MPEx was created (Feb 2012) there existed GLBSE already, which sucked at that time. Nobody flailing around in a cloud of stupidity almost mould-like in consistency seemed to be aware of it, but GLBSE sucked. And so Mr. P decided to make a securities exchange that worked right and was run correctly.

So, pro tip #1: there's so much to do and so few people capable of doing it in Bitcoin that if your plan makes sense and you seem even remotely competent everyone else who is competent will breathe a sigh of relief. They aren't going to "steal" your idea of doing the absolutely fucking obviously banal, cause so much is needed I couldn't begin to tell you.

Pro tip #2: if you are incompetent, the people who are competent aren't going to steal your business early. They are going to steal it late, just like MPEx demolished GLBSE. They don't need early mover advantage, they will come to your market six months or a year late, break off your arms and beat you over the head with them until you are reduced to a bloody mess.

So, forget about anyone "Stealing" your business. When S.DICE was announced, a bunch of forum muppets rambled on about how it's not worth its valuation because "everyone could do it". And I laughed at them then and so to prove my point that they're laughable idiots they declared that they shall do it! It's been months, who has managed to steal the business? You can't steal any business from the competent, and if you're competent yourself you don't even try to, cause it makes no business sense.

Thus, at the very least, step 3 gives you this measure of protection, whereby other competent people know you're doing X and so don't start doing X too. It saves our time and effort, rather than doing something twice do two of the fifty billion things that still need doing.

Obviously your announcement will gather a bunch of crap from a bunch of nobodies. But lucky for you, you've been doing this by the numbers, and you have the list. You know why you don't care what Joel Katz says about anything: what people who don't run businesses say is irrelevant. You know why you care what piuk says about anything to do with the blockchain (do you?).

4. Almost there.

4.1. If you actually got no objections, just pats on the back you're golden. Go do your thing, try your best not to fuck up, when in doubt ask people you trust and that's that.

4.2. If you actually had some objections, do not proceed until the people who raised them declared themselves satisfied. The odds that they don't have a point are dismal, and more importantly, the odds that they wouldn't withdraw objections along the lines of the most favorable construction for you are nil. If someone's pointing things out to you that won't work with your model they're right. If nobody is that still is not proof your model can work.

Stick to this and I might be hearing your name in a year or two. Don't, you just fade into the background noise, yet another of the many who keep paying ten or fifty dollars a month to be part of a new and exciting MMORPG, sorta like the glassy eyed FB credits buyers.

Good luck in any event.»


That's it. Good luck in any event!

It seem like we're not informed about this crowdsale and it took 100K USD in minutes?
I'm kinda nervous how this goes, i was here long enough to notice all threads that is updated every minute and i miss this one.  who escrowed the funds?

https://youtu.be/igW4yvJ_OJY probably the most helpful video that can answer most questions that would get asked to the developers.

So many newbies are involved into that project. There is no escrow so that I'll avoid to make any kind of investment into that project. Anyway good luck for that sale and have bright future.

we will give you a holler if we need a translation, thanks so much.

This project looks good.

Do you looking for translation? If yes, i would like to reserve portuguese translation.

Best regards, Shooter

Thanks! if you want to join our slack visit https://slack.arcade.city/ !

for interested people

coin interview did a interview with 2 of the devs of the app and they also showed the working version

So proud to be a part of this movement, feel free to leave questions and i will do my best to answer until our Dev team wakes up. Thanks everyone.

If you look above to SPONNET's reply there will be %2 percent of tokens raised as rewards for future contributions. join our slack channel or public facebook forum if you would like to get more involved. www.facebook.com/groups/arcadecitysquare Thanks for the support.

I've been following this for a year. Unfortunately I can't invest because I'm broke, and I'm broke because Uber sucks ass. I drove for them for 2 years and this is what I got back. Nothing.

I hope you succeed. Uber and Lyft are a disgrace to humanity.

Excellent, better late then never. I know you guys were busy and rushed but it's great to see all the punch list items of a successful ico falling into place. Cheers guys!

Hey Lenro. We have basically been grassroots and only promoted our token sale for just a few days and mainly to the mainstream. I have personally been involved with Arcade City since January. Basically as a driver but then i started focusing on building my local network of future AC drivers. I got good at it and started focusing on doing the same in CA and the rest of the U.S. . There are a lot of people involved that helped grow a following for Arcade City. We spent most of the time promoting to our network and showing them how to obtain ETH before the sale. I personally cant answer some questions most crypto folks may ask but im here to help with any questions while our Dev team sleeps in Belgium lol. Thanks for reading by the way.  Smiley

Sounds good. Bit as I say it sounds good. Will these ideas be put in practice. Takes of 100k $ for a hackathin sounds unrealistic to me. The cusumer and buyer market sounds like a good idea but will this happen ? We habe not seen such a thing before so what makes this Ann so special compared to other Anns ?

Looks legit, you have already raised so much money, do you have any campaigns?

Agreed,
But the price increases only in 4 days, just wanted you to learn to know our project - thanks for reading.

So, according to the ANN:


Token sale started 11/1 and the ANN is made today?!

I Got my ARCs. AC is showing tremendous growth at an amazing speed for a real life solution application on the blockchain.

What is Arcade City?
Arcade City is a decentralized global community of peer-to-peer service providers and consumers. The core technical offering is an Ethereum-based app for web, Android and iOS. Arcade City features an open ecosystem with forthcoming APIs to enable developers and entrepreneurs to easily create their own apps and service offerings as part of the Arcade City network.
Initial service offerings focus on the ridesharing industry, with plans in motion for peer-to-peer deliveries and short-term home rentals.

Arcade City aims to reinvent the sharing economy by combining the power of blockchain technology, open-source development, platform cooperativism, and a decentralized 'swarm' organizational model open to all.

History
We've been banging on pots and pans since January that we intended Arcade City to be the decentralized, Ethereum-based answer to Uber.

In April we laid out our multi-stage path to complete decentralization over time, then announced plans to submit a DAO proposal ? oops! ? and just recently added a crew of experienced Ethereum developers who've built a functioning Ethereum ridesharing prototype in record time.

In the meantime we've made substantial progress 'on the ground' in cities all over the world, with our flagship ridesharing network in Austin giving tens of thousands of safe rides in a completely decentralized manner.

A hackathon, you say?
Assuming our token sale sells out by the end of November, we'll be throwing an online hackathon open to any Ethereum developers, with a $100K USD value in prizes, payable in ETH or ARC.

We'll announce super final details about start and end dates, judges and such, after the sale, potentially as soon as the first week of November.

The basic idea of the first hackathon will be to build out the functionality described in the Arcade City Infrastructure section of the whitepaper: the offers, disputes, guilds, referrals, reputation, and assurance systems, with a likely priority on the reputation system.
We intend to crowdsource the majority of our Ethereum development via multiple hackathons with everything open-source on GitHub.
