FLO looks good @ 2OOO * mark this post!   ~big news coming !!

https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_flo

I think it is about time that something tangible is being presented. Eagerly waiting over here!

I'm really looking forward to some good news from florin.

There are tons of impromptu Q&A sessions live on Slack lately - I will post them here as well for the sake of record-keeping and to give a bit more info to people who aren't following all of our channels.

Regarding FLO supernodes/masternodes AKA Alexandria micro-work service providers
shagda [10:06 AM]: any word on how many FLO will be required for a "master node"?
shagda [10:09]: any ETA on when the Flo master nodes will be available?

devonjames [12:53 PM]:
@shagda there is no such thing as a FLO master node. that term was used as an analogy, but its an imperfect one. with master nodes users just set aside a certain balance and then earn income because they did so. with OIP, users will do various kinds of “micro-work” for the network, and then earn income proportional to the work they provide.
the first one is called *Autominer* - users start with a balance (in BTC), which is used to rent mining hardware based on market conditions, and then the Flo that their miners earn are then automatically traded for BTC to the publishers who need tokens to upload their content. the trade price is determined automatically based on the Autominer’s actual costs plus a margin which is determined based on the real world market conditions at the time of the mining.
the Autominer node application will be getting beta-tested soon, so if you want to try that out early make sure you sign up for our beta-testers list http://www.alexandria.io/newsletter

Other types of microwork that end users will be able to do for the overall network are:
*Promoters* - kinda like Amazon Affiliates, promoters simply share links to content around the web and on social media platforms. if their shares result in commercial activity (paid views, purchases), they can earn a cut
*Retailers* - host a front end for Open Index Protocol content and you can earn a cut of the commercial activity you generate. can be super simple, just an interface for all content, or can be specialized for a niche media type or audience, or can create suggestion/discovery algorithms to help end users find the kind of content they’re likely to enjoy
*Filecoin Miners* - put your unused hard drive space to work, supporting the storage and bandwidth requirements of the OIP network while getting paid to do it - this one is entirely dependent on the protocollabs team releasing Filecoin, which is a token and a decentralized market for exchanging the tokens for storing and distributing files, about 1 year out according to their team.
and we’ll also have another type of worker who’s focused on processor specific work - for various tasks like archiving and transcoding media files - that gets a bit deeper into the weeds, but it’ll be something that users can use to basically lease out their unused CPU cycles, and in some cases GPU cycles.

Regarding Privacy in Alexandria

Stevo [4:19 AM]: Quest for staff... Will there be any sort of "Private Library" functionality?
Stevo [4:24 AM]: Eg private collections of artifacts, accessible via customizable user access rules.  Pay subscription and authorised users have unlimited access.

rtaylor [5:15 AM]:
Because the publishers of content are paid directly, in the amount that they determine, the closest we can get to a paid subscription is a wallet that can be filled and set to auto-pay under certain conditions. So, if you want to spend $5/month on music then you are free to browse through the library and not be faced with paywalls, as long as the total monthly cost is under the $5 per month that you set. Maximum cost for an artifact could also be set so you don't blow the full $5 on one track.
This will be a feature of the Alexandria browser plugin and can work on any website or social network where OIP content is posted. Likewise, another front-end could build a similar feature directly into their site/application.
These are functions of the application layer and not part of the Open Index Protocol itself.
So I can only speak to what we are planning/developing for the Alexandria front-end (web and standalone) whereas other front-end retailers (like Tokenly) can and will build their own solutions to getting artifacts to their users.

Stevo [5:27 AM]: Thanks. I was thinking more along the lines of private content, eg family videos & photos
With a custom front-end, could artifacts be stored privately like that?

rtaylor [5:31 AM]:
Not really. The protocol is being designed to share content, not to store it privately. Something like MaidSafe would be better suited for those needs. Private content shouldn't use a blockchain, in any case.
Mostly, in my opinion, for reasons of scaling.

Stevo [5:32 AM]: All good. This works for one idea I have, but not another.

rtaylor [5:33 AM]:
But also for privacy. Whereas something like Zcash can do encrypted private messages and you _could_ store an IPFS or BitTorrent file location hash in a transaction comment on that blockchain. But that's not a very efficient way to store private files.
And you would want the files themselves to be encrypted as well. It could all be done but it's not our focus with the Open Index Protocol.

Stevo [5:35 AM]: I will definitely take a look at MaidSafe.

rtaylor [5:35 AM]: Fun fact: Florincoin actually inspired the comment field in Zcash transactions.

~nice video * looks like FLO going up like EMC2 just did!! weeee

You are totally correct and that is why I asked what this guy is talking about. Why the hell does he think that the block halving plays any important role in this process?

~NICE UPDATES TO ALEXANDRIA U.I.!!!!

Hey Quanpl, check out this blog post that is an introduction to the Florincoin and Alexandria teams (there is a lot of overlap there).

https://medium.com/@amyellajames/build-faster-51712d0ed51d

We're always around and chatting with the community on slack and telegram as well:

http://dloaslack.bitspill.net/
https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEEF8oKlhcgdUUpIYQ

I am not sure about recent updates on this coin / project....

I like this coin for the regular ups and downs and progression.

I would be glad to see more news from dev or roadmap
from dev team in regard to long term holding tho

I dont know exactly what you mean but I hope you would research just a little bit. Then you would realize that you can chat with the devs in the Alexandria beta.

I can't see your DEVTEAM, how can I trust your crypto??

Talked to the DEVS recently. Glad to read these answers..

Q:I would like to know how you will deal with illegal content in the future? 6:26 PM

A: amyjames
Hi ! How familiar are you with the project? Are you aware of the distinction between the protocol layer (Open Index Protocol) and the application layer (Alexandria, Token.FM, etc)?
The answer to your question requires understanding that component - the protocol is permissionless and public, therefore literally anything can be published. However, the governance of OIP does include a note about "universally abhorrent" content - like child pornography, snuff pornography and hunting children for sport - and prohibits any compliant applications from allowing this kind of content to make money
At the application layer - every individual application will use filter lists to limit the content displayed - ie, Token.FM is a music streaming service, so they will not be displaying other kinds of content published to OIP
Alexandria is our application - and we intend for it to be as open as possible, as such we do not have any restrictions on content, beyond what is limited by the protocol - as i mentioned this is "universally abhorrent" content & illegal content/DMCA issues.


Q: Will you focuse on marketing when you finished developement? 11:21 PM

A: devon
oh yes
we just knew it wouldnt serve us to do so while in dev - our primary target audience is content creators, who prefer when technology is running smooth and isnt confusing
so if we got them all hyped up and they came along and found a work in progress, they wouldnt have a good impression of the project


devon
ive had my head buried in working with the devs and behind the scenes stuff lately i havent even looked at the ANN for weeks now, so i appreciate you lookin out

Indeed! Here is the announcement link: http://mailchi.mp/79d7b6d54ff7/publisher-module-is-live

The video was also tweeted earlier on both the @alexandria and @Official_Florin accounts.

https://twitter.com/Official_Florin/status/911326569548873728

When is that update everybody is talking about? Is there a roadmap or something?

NEW Publisher demo is out now! Check it out and test it!  Give feedback, thats how you can support the project!

FLO is a legit coin with competent, non-greed driven developers alongside a growing worldwide community! :-D ~florins ftw!! weeee

*September 30th expect//\|^|^|\\

He's just adding pointless fear. A block halving has nothing to do with anything other than mining. The current reward for solving a block is 25 FLO. After the halving (in about a month) the block reward will be 12.5.

AGAIN -- Block halving has absolutely nothing to do with the platform, function, transactions, etc. It only affects mining. Historically, when this happens on a blockchain it increases the value of the coins -- because only half as much is rewarded per block mined.

What is hopeless? Could you please elaborate a little bit further on whatever you fear?

Isn't it hopeless untill the next halving block 

FLO/Alexandria looks good 2100 now weeee
