People are moving from alts to BTC for the fork on 11/16, don't take current price action as an indicator for anything. Almost everything is red right now.

Exactly. 408,000 Mrai being distributed daily it caused so much inflation and sell pressure on exchanges. So much dump being cleared since last month. I really appreciate developers decision.

I don't want to burst your bubble or anything but for me this is a good thing, have you notice the trend it looks so calm that just means one thing, a big wave is coming. After the faucet distribution it's expected that the price will go down, knowing not a lot of people are trading this coin anymore. I like to point out the reason why the transaction volume is getting lower everyday is because this coin is not accessible to the public anymore, you actually need to pay to get xrb now that's why less and less people are trading this coin and those who have this coin are just holding it, knowing the things that are coming, it's quite mad not to hold and wait.

For one, you won't lose your XRB balance everytime the wallet is upgraded. 

Greetings all! Does any one can clarify what are the main advantages (exept supply) of XRB comparing with IOTA? As far as i understand IOTA the only compatitor against XRB. I invested  in XRB before IOTA came on scene and now apear this kind of question.

yes your hope. but not mine.
before the distribution close i was thinking to buy some xrb. but now i need to think twice about that.
closing distribution its a big mistake. xrb now dont have popularity like before.


lets see this

after distribution closed xrb rise to 3k sat and after that the transaction volume is getting lower everyday
that because xrb lose their popularity and not much people will talk about xrb anymore.
thats also big mistake too for those investor who bought xrb on oct 16th. they losing min 50% xrb value

i dont know what dev thinking. faucet distribution is the major reason why alot of people want to know about xrb.
for my opinion its still better decrease 10x distribution with only 1700 xrb each hour than taking desicion to close distribution.

the only good thing about xrb campaign beside the faucet is twitter xrb giveaway with a small share.

anyway i dont blame dev desicion. they have right to take decision about their coin.

goodluck!!

Thats good new for me ! I hope xrb will raise again 

I'm happy to hear good news from you.
You're always so reliable.thank you

RaiBlocks Newsletter 5th November 2017 (Issue: 6)

Welcome to the sixth issue of the RaiBlocks newsletter, its great to have made it to 6 issues, we continue to get great feedback regarding the newsletter

News

New Exchange (BitFlip)
The RaiBlocks Dev team are proud to announce that RaiBlocks is being listed on https://bitflip.li/ . BitFlip are a young but dynamic exchange with interesting pairs as well as being multilingual, they are keen to innovate and RaiBlocks fits them well. We are working closely with their technical team to integrate RaiBlocks and this addition will bring lots of new markets including the ability to trade RaiBlocks(XRB) with a number of fiat currencies.
The addition of bitflip is just the first exchange that the exchange team are working with to add RaiBlocks, we plan to stick to the published roadmap with another exchange in December. By working with exchanges we can build volume which in this competitive environment is key to moving up the chain!

Marketing and Branding
The Dev team have also been focusing in the last few weeks in developing partnerships to build up the brand and marketing of RaiBlocks. We are in the process of building a whole new website which will become the hub of the RaiBlocks information. We are also planning to commission some professionally produced videos to explain and promote RaiBlocks - these will be published on our youtube channel.

QR Codes
The Dev team have standardised the QR codes for RaiBlocks (https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks/wiki/URI-and-QR-Code-Standard) - these will be implemented into the various wallets and apps in development. QR codes are ideal for the long xrb addresses so we are really keen to get them fully integrated. (Also another thing to tick off the roadmap!)

Community Competitions
The community team has been hard at work promoting RaiBlocks on social media. Louis Nobleman (@Mrlutavo on twitter) hosted a very successful banner competition. The results were announced yesterday on twitter https://twitter.com/Mrlutavo/status/926979302268264448 .

User Interview (@sdoubrav on Discord)

1) How did you find out about RaiBlocks?
Was browsing 4chan /biz/ board back in like June or July and some guy who recently went to a crypto conference came back and made a post where listed the coins he liked. One of those was xrb and I've been holding ever since.

2) What do you use RaiBlocks for?
Honestly speculative bet that it will have mass adoption.

3) What sort of services do you think RaiBlocks would suit?
No economic expert but any frequent small transaction mainly

4) What is the coolest feature of RaiBlocks
No fees. I can live without instant transactions for the most part. But the fact that raiblocks is instant and feeless, it undercuts literally every payment processor on the market without the need for wasteful energy use like Bitcoin

Third Party Services

New Services Development Grant
We are keen to get people to use RaiBlocks and encourage people to create ways of actually using RaiBlocks in their everyday lives. To support this I have put aside funds to support two projects with a Development Grant - I will provide funding to pay for hosting for 3 months (on a digital ocean droplet (2CPU, 2GB Memory, 40GB SSD and 3TB Transfer)) for a project that is built around RaiBlocks. By providing the hosting this just leaves the programming/coding and development to you. I will consider any projects that will contribute to the RaiBlocks ecosystem - examples could be a game, online shop, online wallet, kickstarter/patreon system, fivr style job site paid in XRB. Please contact me directly on Discord (@jaycox), I will ask for details so it would be worth having a formulated plan in advance! Also to receive funds for each month of hosting will require evidence of progress!

Developer Profile (@harvw on Discord)

1) How did you find RaiBlocks?
I found out about Raiblocks in March 2017 when I started actively looking for an alternative cryptocurrency which I felt could genuinely solve the problems of high fees and scaling issues that Bitcoin was experiencing at the time. I also began watching Marc de Mesel's youtube channel and he was a major proponent of DAG (tangle) and given that he is a bit of a visionary in the space, this also encouraged me to take a bit of a deep dive in to analysing the tech further as well as Raiblocks more specifically.

2) What is your role currently?
I guess you could call me an Exchange Development Manager for Raiblocks at the moment as I'm coordinating a lot of the exchange negotiations for listings in conjunction with the core development team.

3) What have your learnt during this time
I've learned a lot about the importance of working collaboratively within a team to ensure that decisions are made which not only benefit the Raiblocks community but also the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem as a whole.

4) Whats next for RaiBlocks (personal prediction)
I strongly believe that Raiblocks has THE brightest future within the cryptosphere which is the reason why I am dedicating so much of my time to the project. As far as what's next, I would say that the visibility of the project will increase significantly over the next 6 months which will ultimately result in wider Raiblocks adoption and actual usage.

Next Newsletter
Still keen for submissions, reviews and news, happy to donate xrb for your time.

There was a tweet from the @raiblocks account about how XRB didn't require as much energy and linked to an article, wonder whether thats where the picture came from. The point was that XRB isn't mineable!

https://twitter.com/raiblocks/status/926632249927372800

RaiBlocks is not mineable, all XRB were distributed via faucet + 7M XRB to development fund. If you are huge service & want 4+ TPS, you can accelerate transactions with GPU (any TX require small PoW to prevent network spam).

Hello dev,

Is this RXB mineable now with CPU and GPU? I saw pictures in twitter setting up GPUs Cards to mine XRB,

Any imformation about it?


Thanks and regards,


Okane Satoshi

Prices are down. Guess it's good time to buy xrb.

.

This of course it has been ranging and consolidating for the past few months nothing new there. With a trex listing you can expect a mooning but it seems more unlikely that happens at this point in time.

top kek

They constantly put wallets in maintenance for up to two weeks because they can't keep up with the updates and delisted UNIFY for example because they failed to update their wallet code, while every other exchange didn't have these issues. I always used and liked Cryptopia, but they really have to get their shit together.

yup always the devs work a lot and a lot of activity going on there on github pages

the faucet was a great idea stopping it

new to come exchanges would be great

hope this can be traded on bitfinex or binance one day

I often check github and I found that the dev is working a lot! https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks/commits/master

It was a great thing to stop the faucet and focus on the project!

What are you talking about? This is just the beginning, that's just the price for NOW, closing the faucet was the best thing to do for this project. The faucet was so toxic it interfered with the development of this project but now that the faucet is gone, the devs have made a new roadmap and if you've read it, you'll notice that there are a lot of new things coming so you better be prepared cause the price that we've all been dreaming is coming.

There were no ICO. All XRB are distributed, so now you can buy it from other users at exchanges.
