Topic: Future of altcoins? - page 9. (Read 6241 times)

From the date of your posted statement 2017, many things happen this year, haha, i bet everyone does and, altcoins were downtrend this year and almost all coins out there, but the best thing is that many coins and coins were introduced to the market, this is a good indication that market is transparent to the new ones, but it contributes to the market price per coin.

At the end of the day, only promising and good coins will survive.

I think out of all 1,600 altcoins, only 200-300 coins will survive, which really deserve a lot of attention. And everyone else will be on the periphery. Perhaps they will be used, but they will all be focused on Ethereum.

By offering viewers with a direct path from content to commerce, we also provide content providers with invaluable knowledge about what content is most successful in generating revenue. Historically, brands and content providers needed to sort through many disparate data sources to make conjectures about which content led to purchases. By connecting to the HIT Protocol, content providers no longer need to guess about what is working and what isn’t, as HITs connect the dotted lines between viewing habits and product purchases.
Get Started
The entrypoint for all viewers to access their HIT balances is the “HIT Account.” To start, adoption incentives are offered for signing up to the platform, creating a profile, and referring others. Data incentives are also offered for viewers who opt-in to provide their viewing and interaction data to support their favorite shows. This provides valuable data to brands and show creators. Gamification incentives are offered for competing on participation leaderboards, and achieving consecutive login streaks. We include milestone incentives for those reaching and maintaining HITs balance milestones and leveling-up their profiles. This encourages viewers to keep track of their HITs and engage in opportunities to increase their numbers.
In addition to driving engagement and participation, fans have the opportunity to create social profiles to display their earned recognition for activity in the community. The most dedicated and active participants of the HIT community will also be first in line for feature and content test groups as the platform develops and grows, encouraging healthy competition among users.
Earn Rewards for Watching & Engaging
Viewers earn HITs by watching and interacting with shows and ads. Poles and contests are a couple of the ways viewers can engage. Loyalty and rewards incentives are presented by broadcasters, brands and advertising campaigns, customized to viewers.
Viewers can circulate HITs by spending them to influence the trajectory of a given show. This can be done by voting and by sending donations or tips to broadcasters, streamers and content creators. This active exchange of tokens, encourages viewer participation with shows as well as with each other, strengthening the show’s fan base and the health of the ecosystem.
Tools for Shows and Advertisers
In a world where sequels are king, and building on existing universes matters (both for dollars and mindshare), iPowow has the features to match the market. To drive repeat engagement, broadcasters and showrunners are given several campaign management tools. We offer the ability to create show-specific badges and achievements matched to limited-time campaigns for brands. This highly targeted marketing is especially effective with dedicated fans of ongoing series. The incentivized model powered by HITs ultimately allows for fandom to reign supreme, providing a highly effective mechanism for networks to better understand their specific audiences.
Looking to the Future
We are committed to fostering the creation of new and exciting audience engagement applications by rewarding developers with HITs for building novel solutions on our protocol. Our Source Development Kit, or SDK, and GitHub repository will enable easy scaling, pulling from and adding to the codebase. With our application distribution system, iPowow’s worldwide partnerships for the HIT Protocol will be an attractive launchpad for apps made for the HIT token. The true power of the HIT Protocol will be unlocked by allowing developers to distribute HIT-based interactive apps across a global platform.Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

Altcoins can and will survive. Not every one of them, but most definitely the top coins with real world use and actual value (like Ethereum) will. Altcoins will always be there because competition is part of everything. Bitcoin go on without having competition. Competition drives value.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the future some altcoins even come to par or even overtake bitcoin.

The HIT Protocol includes several critical pathways for HITs to flow. First, a content provider integrates the iPowow interface with content, such as a TV show. During the show, viewers are prompted with a call to action to participate in some way with the content they are watching. Viewers can respond to the call to action directly on the device on which they are watching the content or through a second device. Once viewers sign up to begin earning rewards, they can interact with specific elements of the show and accumulate HITs for their time and interaction. These valuable HIT tokens can then be used on the Digital Shopping Plaza to purchase physical and digital goods, access to more content, and experiences offered by our content partners.Get Started

99% of them will be 0$ in 3 years.
there are lots of scam projects and scam ico. they took money and they dont work. or interested with project.

There is too much altcoins and project from developer almost the same and don't have a different from previous project so many inevestor not interested with new project. 

Altcoins have future. But only good projects will survice.
As we can observe on market cap each year BTC dominance go down.
Each project can give something know to our world.
Is stupid to think that BTC will slay ALTs. BTC not give something new know this coin is only for payments nothing more

Interest in cryptocurrencies is currently at fever pitch with banks, businesses, and governments racing to understand the technology and how they can exploit it. As a result, the cryptocurrency market has begun to rise exponentially, and last month reached an astonishing $378 billion in market capitalization. Whatever happens next, cryptocurrencies look certain to play an increasingly influential role in the global financial system. In today’s world, most of the blockchain coin prices are driven by scarcity model and hype which is not based on real world use case. None of the blockchain is capable enough to meet the demand of enterprise and governments. They need high transaction rate and security against future thread like quantum attack. Most of the banks are still keeping themselves away from existing blockchains because of high transaction fees, partial decentralism and future quantum attacks.TIM is a two layered blockchain-
-First layer is root blockchain which only stores Merkle hash of second layer. First layer is very light weight (approx. 4 MB data size).
-Second layer (Multigraph) is the one which stores all the transaction data in form of blocks. First layer only references the blocks of second layer. Second layer blocks are partitioned using vertical shard.
Each node (mobile device / computer running TIM core engine) in TIM network contains entire root blockchain (first layer) and only a part of the second layer blocks. Assuming there are 10,000 nodes in a network, TIM first creates cluster of nodes based on geolocation using partition technology. So the nodes which belongs to ASIA will be part of ASIA cluster and nodes which belongs to North America will belong to North America cluster. TIM call this clusters as triangles / graphs.
The transaction which is originating in North America will participate in triangle of North America only. All blocks mined in North America will be stored in each of the nodes which belong to North America region only. However, all the nodes of North America will have complete root blockchain present but only part of second layer blocks which is mined in North America. Similarly, each Node of Asia Cluster (triangle) will contain entire root blockchain of TIM but only part of second layer blocks which is mined in ASIA. This is called as vertical partition of blocks.
If the data size of entire TIM blockchain is 1 GB, then it will split among these two regions (approx. 500 MB each). So, each node of North America will store root blockchain (4 MB size) and approx. 500 MB of block data. However, in ideal scenario of 1 GB data, TIM will have many triangles (approx. 100). And data will be partitioned (using dynamic vertical partition based of geolocation) to approx. 10 MB block data. So, each node in a given triangle will have 4 MB of root blockchain and 10 MB of partitioned second layer blocks data. This will enable even a mobile device with less memory to become a node of TIM blockchain.
Triangles (cluster of Nodes) / Multigraph – Each node in the triangles communicate to each other using DAG (Directed Acyclic graph) topology. Hence, we call these triangles as graphs also. And collection of these triangles is called as Multigraph (which is the second layer of TIM blockchain). Multigraph stores entire blocks split across graph/triangles. So, if we have 100 triangles, Network will look like as below.
It is because of the DAG topology of each triangle, nodes can communicate very fast, achieving speed of 10,000 tx/sec per triangle. And if the 100 partitions are created due to the demand of transactions, then total network capacity will be around 1 million tx/sec.
However, these triangular regions are created by TIM technology on demand of transaction load. If the load increases in a given region, the TIM technology can further split triangle into two parts and there by doubling the speed of that region. TIM network auto adjusts the load based on demand and also merges the region if the demand is less. This is driven by statistical model for load balancing and using geolocation of nodes to understand the transaction load in a given geographical area.

Well, I will not say that altcoins is waiting for the collapse, as the market is held not only by one bitcoin. I just think that over time, all projects that don't have a product will die.

The future of altcoins? I think he'll be fine as soon as the market starts to recover. The main thing is to invest in the right altcoins.

Now anyone can guess the future of altcoin, people are trying to expect and waiting for good prices will soon come to the market encryption.

I think generaly crypto suriviving is not questionable. But when it comes to individual projects/coins it is possible that some goes off as from previous experiences that i witness.

Most of the alts will die as they have no solid purpose.

I think all coins have their own time, and have their own values, and have good plans for the future, all seen from market conditions,.

Spl.yt is a blockchain-powered “public social utility,” meaning anyone with an internet connection can use it at no cost besides the gas needed to secure the blockchain. The power of decentralized cryptocurrencies and smart contracts makes this possible because users themselves can define the growth of the system while directly reaping the benefit of their contributions. What’s more, Spl.yt is run by the Spl.yt Core Foundation, a non-profit designed to work itself out of existence, leaving a system that runs itself (similar to the internet) without any controller-middleman susceptible to bias or corruption.
Spl.yt’s smart contract protocol enables the formation of a global inventory and universalized reputation scores as well as the automation of such costly processes as dispute resolution and affiliate marketing management.
Global Inventory
Once connected to Spl.yt, buyers can view the global inventory of individual listings automatically populated from all e-commerce websites integrated with the protocol. Shoppers only need to visit one e-commerce site to search for and purchase their desired item securely, and at the lowest price. Since all information from these various online retailers is integrated, once a buyer purchases an item, it will automatically de-list from every other marketplace, avoiding double-purchasing the same item. Multiple websites and platforms can contribute to and use Spl.yt’s shared inventory listing base, competing instead on other significant business differentiators, such as shipping prices, support services, specialized competence, etc. For example, if Amazon, eBay, and textbooks.com were all built on Spl.yt Core, sellers of textbooks would list their textbooks once on one platform and the Spl.yt protocol would automatically populate their inventory on any other connected website. Conversely, a buyer of textbooks would only need to browse one website to compare products and prices. Once a buyer purchases an item listed with the decentralized global inventory, it will automatically de-list from every marketplace, avoiding any risk of double-purchasing the same item.
Sellers must deposit a small number of SATs to post an item with the decentralized global inventory to deter spam and fraudulent listings. These deposited SATs will be returned to the seller, distributed to other marketplaces, or sent to other users depending on the success and behaviors exhibited throughout the transaction.

Future of altcoin is dependent on different variables. If bitcoin keep increasing in value and people keep been positive about Cryptocurrency,  there will be development and more investment will flow in!

iPowow, a global platform for TV producers and streaming video broadcasters, is introducing the HIT Protocol, a blockchain-based initiative that will empower all players in the media ecosystem with more opportunities for viewer engagement, revenue, and rewards. Using HIT tokens, the HIT Protocol’s in-ecosystem cryptocurrency, the initiative strengthens the relationships between all ecosystem participants.
Currently, the majority of TV broadcast, Video on Demand (VoD) and Over the Top (OTT) content is still presented to viewers as a one-way experience despite audience demand for more ways to engage. Additionally, the rating and measurement systems that enable content providers to gain data insights and generate better content for their audience remain limited. iPowow supports the evolution of the entire media ecosystem with its HIT Protocol by empowering viewers with more ways to engage while simultaneously driving results for brands and content providers.
HIT Tokens are the in-ecosystem currency that viewers earn by engaging with their favorite shows. When viewers accumulate HIT tokens in their accounts, they can use them to purchase digital goods, physical goods, content, and services. HIT tokens offer a much needed avenue for viewers to earn compensation for their contributions to the media ecosystem. By incentivizing increased involvement with economic rewards, the HIT Protocol is also able to support content providers with improved data insights based on consumer behaviors.
Evidently, there’s a need for standardized metrics for content providers and advertisers in OTT. The HIT Protocol team believes that blockchain technology is the perfect technology for achieving interoperability between these stakeholders while strengthening the bonds between them and their viewers. We’re strong proponents of tokenization to drive interactions, allowing individuals to enjoy a more personal experience while earning rewards, as well as providing advertisers and shows with in-depth data about their viewership.
The HIT Protocol and its use of the distributed ledger technology comes with a number of benefits that are set to revolutionize this sector, including immutability, transparency and micro-transacting. Combined, these give users granular control over their own experiences, and shift the focus of the ecosystem to a more viewer-centric model. Incentivizing viewers is key to ensuring that quality insights can continue to be derived from a highly lucrative and core component of the entertainment industry, and ensuring a widespread standard will be paramount to its long-term viability.
There’s a reason why blockchain technology is taking off, and there’s no shortage of use cases where it can be successfully applied in the TV and OTT industries. The sector is in need of a solution, which the HIT Protocol aims to provide. From smart contracts automating some of the existing infrastructures’ laborious tasks, to implementing a vastly more secure means of storing information, to strengthening the connection between viewers and the content they enjoy, distributed ledger tech is an excellent tool by which to enhance existing processes and redefine the industry as it stands.
In order for OTT to achieve its fullest potential and meet the needs of viewers, advertisers, and content providers, it’s crucial that we acknowledge and implement technologies such as blockchain to incentivize viewers and to streamline the evolution of the industry to benefit all parties.

NEO and NEX with it. They seem to be doing very good work. Two projects ideal for long term.

Altcoin now and always before is very dependent on bitcoin and if it continues to fall, then there is no doubt that the prices for altcoin will also fall and until Bitcoin starts to grow, prices for altcoin will also not start to grow...
