If STONE is Private, Instant, Feeless, Secure, with Quantum Resistance & Smart Contracts it will be the Holy GRAIL of currency. Lots of potential.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and support, for now i am just working towards privacy, after that milestone has been completed i will reevaluate the project and add new ideas in the roadmap as myself and the community see fit.Iota is still beta. The Iota Tangle is not stand alone, the Tangle is controlled by coordinators, and the coordinators are controlled by the Iota foundation. Who will control the coordinator of your project? You alone, a community, foundation or a company?
Can you please answer my question?

I usually reply once a day, to all PM's and posts.This is definitely on my watchlist. Care to give more details about yourself (or dev team) before I can donate?
Hi there, there is just myself working on this project, there is a little bio a few pages back 
i can tell you i'm dedicated to the project and will deliver a working product, i recommend you wait until something substantial before you decide to donate, if you feel uneasy.
interesting

Too many newbie and brand new accounts in this thread.. The dev hasn't answered any technical questions.. I would never donate in something like that. My feeling is this is a scam.
Don't be biased. Newbie accounts doesn't mean nothing. Also it's not compulsory you date just sit back and watch the project unfold. Don't call it a scam yet. If the Dev is serious and dedicated I'm sure you will be glad being here at the end.
Well, are you single Dev, if yes, full time or side project. Any timeline when this will launch?
This is a full-time project, being worked on by only myself, projected completion date would be ~2 months away, at that stage it would still not be a 100% finalized product.If STONE is Private, Instant, Feeless, Secure, with Quantum Resistance & Smart Contracts it will be the Holy GRAIL of currency. Lots of potential.

He always answers most of the questions at least once a day. This is not the first time he answered questions.
launching a website soon or anything like that?
Hi, not just yet! the community is welcome to assist, but for now ill focus on the main feature, the code, the release.He always answers most of the questions at least once a day. This is not the first time he answered questions.
That is correct, i'm on usually once per day to answer as many PM's and posts as possible. Apologies if i'm short, there are alot of PM's!He hasn't answered even a single one of my questions. Mainly regarding the fact that zkSNARKs is resource-heavy and will remove the speed of rai from the characteristics. He would have have to use recursive zkSNARKs.
I am sure progress will come. Dev cannot always be here to answer. He is preparing the coin!
Anyway I am with you guys:
-
no airdrops to XRBs older and not to donors too (it would become unfair or an ICO). Faucet is still a fair system.Moreover in setting up exchange or make other exchanges to support the coin i suggest this approach:
-
"Computing hash on client side for exchanges" - https://www.reddit.com/r/RaiBlocks/comments/7k0tmc/computing_hash_on_client_side_for_exchanges/This would dramatically decrease downtimes or overloads and exchange wouldn't have to invest in GPUs to keep STONE market up. This would be better also for privacy procedures computing.
I like the idea. I'll donate once there is some proof this isn't a scam.
Thank you, please wait for the first release! DEV,
You have a great idea, myself, and many others in this thread are eagerly awaiting a chance to participate in the STONE project, especially coming off the back of the recent XRB hype and recognition as the top contender for a p2p currency. HOWEVER, I've read through the entire thread and you haven't addressed a single person with regards to a safe way to donate so we can participate with peace of mind that we aren't getting scammed.
I understand you are potentially working on the code, but you are addressing the same questions by different people but leaving the important ones out.
PLEASE give us a response regarding escrow. Give us the final leg of confidence we need to feel comfortable in helping this awesome idea. IF you really cared about bringing a true decentralized anon currency that helps your every day person, it would show that you want to do something meaningful with your talents, and help benefit the world, so start here by giving your future users what they want. At least respond.
With your 13 years exp for fortune 200 companies you should have better communication skills.
Think i speak on behalf of the entire thread here when I say I look forward to your (hopefully) positive response.
Your opinion is respected, and i understand your frustration, however donations are not mandatory, they are donations, no one needs to donate, and if you are unsure of the project i urge you to please wait until the first release.Looks like the idea of a privacy oriented XRB is interesting a lot of people. OP looks like he's not serious. How about we find devs to create the coin ? I am pretty sure some people on this thread or in the crypto community have the necessary skills to do what OP is saying he wants to do.
my mouse is ready to click some captchas!
Sorry not this time!If STONE is Private, Instant, Feeless, Secure, with Quantum Resistance & Smart Contracts it will be the Holy GRAIL of currency. Lots of potential.
Not really. Smart contracts would just add bloat that is by no means necessary. The holy grail of
currency is private, instant, feeless and quantum resistant. Leave smart contracts to other coins that are built for those.

let's see how the project will develop further, but there are some suspicions due to the fact that there are really many newcomers who are ready to invest and support the project right from the first message on the forum.
if you look further into these accounts you will realize this is not the only thread they have commented on. Thank you for your support anyhow.Social media bounties have a tendency to turn into unnecessary and unwanted spam. It has been my experience that his type of campaign may in fact be detrimental to its success. If the project is good, it will be picked up by social media on its own merit.
You are correct sir, which is why i have been racking my brain to figure out a a fair, spam-less, community friendly method of distribution.Thats impressive, thank you for linking me with that. will do my best!
Thank you all who have supported and commented, i will say one thing; please try to stay non-fixated on only distribution, distribution is only one small part of this project, have faith that i will sort it out in a fair and equal manner, with confirmation of the community. For now the code is closed source. If anyone is feeling uneasy about the project, but wish to be a part, please wait until i have a alpha wallet up and running for you to use on the testnet.
In other news i will eventually need a splash screen for the wallet (not that i'm saying the wallet is near ready) so if any graphic designers would like to try there luck at a Stone logo as a splash screen, please be my guest!
