Keep up the good work, we believe in you and this project, one day it WILL be used in Africa.

whats a beautiful logic is lying here that the same people who become against of us at start the same are at our admiration.

Great!
I bought kobocoin now

Please do your best.

There are plans to expand the mobile wallet offering into iOS. The issue is just time and money. I need a new dev environment (I'm sick of pointing a fan at my old workhorse so it doesn't crash when compiling!).

I think mobile is the way to go right now. Kobo is a straight up digital currency and I need to make sure that people can carry kobo with them wherever they go. That's the main way forward for kobo right now. I'm watching all developments in the crypto space to see what will add value. The first thing I want to add is pin-to-send, or pin-to-login-to-the-mobile-wallet-app (just like other mobile banking apps which is easier - it's just a wrapper).

I will be looking at developments that help with transaction speed and capacity. At the moment I don't see any developments that take the main mobile focus forward. If funds become available I'd like to commission a brand new mobile wallet that's secure and resilient and with a lot more features than currently available.

Is development progress?

I have to believe in Africa's future. KOBO is also my choice for this continent and its beautiful people groups.

Its highly undesirable. We dont wanna chinese to be involved in our internal affairs, but if they try to trespass our private boundaries we will apply an enormous biting pressure to their asses.

Thanks. The plan is to be the multi-denominational digital currency of choice for mobile devices in the largest mobile fintech market on the planet (Sub-Saharan Africa). It always has been right from announcement. The coin parameters were chosen to facilitate this. It's also X15 PoS which new entrants to the industry are saying makes them green. We were green (even check the logo!) before they were even a figment in someone else's imagination.

At the moment there's no real technical development that I can see taking things forward (remember that kobo is on an IoT platform already - ROKOS). If there's a definite benefit to introducing new features on the blockchain then I'll definitely look into it. I also don't want to fork the coin with no real reason for doing so. There's nothing wrong with what kobo is right now. It could be in a better place when it comes to trading and I won't be happy until I see some real volume.

I think external features would be more useful right now. IOS wallet, possibly a 'secure' online wallet, and partnerships with the right companies. These would be very good starts. Introducing tech without a true purpose is not something I want to do right now. The people I've been talking to (programmers, business people, African fintech entrepreneurs) are talking about matching names to addresses for identity verification.

On this forum there's a cold war going on for anonymity. No-one I'm talking to is talking about anonymity like we do here in the forum. I'm not sure anonymity brings anything to kobo right now other than keeping up with trends (which might be the right thing to do - but at the moment I don't see it).

I do agree that just being a 'coin' may not be enough but kobo has a few things already built into the original coin parameters that still serve it's needs (at this time). As people start to use it these small features will become apparent. I've seen coins put out a constant stream of developments just to keep community members happy. Once the developments stop coming in, the coins are dropped like hot cakes and the price crashes. Makes me wonder if it was worth the devs time doing all that work just for a pump/dump opportunity.

My dream/goal/milestone for this year is to get us onto a Chinese exchange. China is making massive investments in Africa right now. A Chinese exchange would be a great fit (as long as we start getting better trading volumes!).

I'd rather use my energy to push kobo's visibility beyond BCT to the people who could make the dream of gaining adoption a reality rather than appeasing people who might only be looking for the next pump/dump opportunity. Progress on that front is slow but we are getting there!

Excuse the essay!
 

Hi, nice to see that you are still pushing this forward. What KOBO needs is utility and a plan to be useful in some way. It's not enough these days to just have a crypto without some use. I'm still holding some KOBO and believe that you can do something with this.

Found this on a thread about best coins to invest in. We're mentioned with some very established names there, and the poster didn't get shot down.


 

(KOBO really needs to be on a Chinese exchange. China is investing massively in Africa but kobo's trading volume is all but non-existent right now - no chance just yet)

Thanks

There's a reply to a comment I made on the CBN article (posted as Kobocoin)

I'm glad people can see the difference between kobo and some of the other players trying to establish themselves in the market. Onecoin in particular. I'm not a fan.

There's only 2 cryptocurrencies for Africa. BTC and KOBO!

kobo is great, I like it

Great News!

Cryptos are now on the radar of Africa's biggest economy. The Nigerian economy has been sliding since the new government came in. People are now looking for an alternative to their failing currency to hold some value.

It's a good thing KOBO is now on a WORKING exchange like Cryptopia. I've been getting a lot of enquiries recently about Kobocoin and how to acquire them. The difference this time round is that people are asking where they can trade BTC with KOBO. They're not looking for direct cash purchases which I personally feel is a dangerous game to get into. After seeing that news item I'll be pointing everyone to Cryptopia.

We're now 3 weeks away from becoming 2 years old and claiming our place as an established crypto which will bode well for the future. Quite a milestone!

UPDATE:

Kobocoin is now live on Cryptopia (see above ).

I'll keep contacting Yobit to see if their wallet issues can be resolved. I know some people are having issues there. As you can see there are 7 markets open to KOBO. I'll also look into some of the marketing features on the site to promote it within the exchange.

UPDATE:

Our new Block Explorer is now live



At the moment it's syncing so will take some time before it's fully operational. It will also be much quicker once fully synced with the blockchain.

I've also paid for for our Cryptopia exchange listing. I'll post an update when it's live.

CryptoID block explorer ordered for a year - https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ - Should be up and running soon.

Once up and running I will get KOBO listed on Cryptopia. 7 trading pairs:
KOBO/BTC
KOBO/DOGE
KOBO/DOT
KOBO/FTC
KOBO/LTC
KOBO/UNO
KOBO/XMR

Once all done I'll make sure it's all reflected on coinmarketcap including new explorer

they'd been asked several times since july, now november, that's yobit
