Topic: Project Interzone - Blockchain Social Engine - page 25. (Read 84790 times)

i was watching the slack discussion and saw, for example, someone who seemed to be part of the core team saying anyone can contribute code,etc..  but then someone asked what they can do if they're not a coder.  and no response.  to be frank, that pissed me off.  i didn't see anything like community there.  i see a community of some kind that's disconnected from the actual development person or team.  and it creates confusion.  i don't know how pivx started out, but if it started like what i'm seeing here i think it's a miracle its made it as far as it has.  if this is your project or your part of the development team that started it and someone appears and asks how they can help, you snap them up.  you at least answer them.  especially when you're on a shoe-string budget.  because you never know who someone is, what other skills they might bring.  and this is a community app of all things.  with a pretty weak sense of what a community is.  that's what's troubling me here.  

Why can't it be both?  a privacy centric social coin that includes the privacy features of PIVX and DASH while providing a platform that provides incentive for participation.  Who knows what form it will take exactly, and perhaps the coin use will be diminished to a degree, but there are plenty of valuable tokens out there that don't even have a product yet.

For me, what needs to happen for ANY cryptocurrency is simplicity of use.  Currently, almost all crypto is controlled, used by, and managed in a nerd-centric realm (I say that as a nerd).  For it to truly get widespread adoption everything needs to be simple and easy.  If your grandmother and non-tech savvy cousin can figure it out, then THAT is when coins will really take off.  For InterZone, I would want to see 1 button masternode set up, an Apple Iphone-esqu GUI, and imbedded purchase options (presumably through an agreement with a large exchange.)  Just imagine if you could download the wallet, enter your credit card information in a secure form to purchase X number of tokens from an exchange, and if its enough, press a button to start your masternode and earn rewards, all on a platform that is useful.

Difficult.  Yes.  Expensive.  Yes.  Impossible? No.  BUT what if your grandmother called you to tell you she was making $X per day and really enjoyed liking blogs on that Interzone thingy... That'd be amazing.

Just my thoughts...

 

mattaero, how do you imagine Interzone looking when its more together?  i can see the pivx link, coming out of a community, and both have the privacy feature while Interzone uses DASH mixing.  but pivx is a privacy coin, like many others around, and its popular now.  Interzone is talking about running big network nodes to support encrypted messaging, avatars, blogging, etc.  with this vision i'm a little concerned the token will be diminished.  like its incidental.  where someone would look at this and ask what its for.  the token has to be front and center in a successful project that's tokenized.  by the time this project is coming together a lot could be different so far as the trends.  so it could be good to have something else, like this, which is not another pivx.  but on the other hand, if its not another privacy coin, what is it? 

When setting up a masternode, is there a way to set up multiple from one machine?  I can create additional IP addresses for the same NIC in windows, but how do I set up the .conf file?  Or does each one need to be on its own server?

I'm still trying to understand the end-product.  something like SocialEngine, but on a blockchain.  you want to build something for people to inhabit.  ok.  what kind of people?  everybody?  if its for everybody or anyone, first thing:  you don't want a sausage fest.  bunch of computer geeks on there talking about code.  and ninety percent of them male teenagers maybe.  not good.  you want girls involved.  maybe some are invested in the project already and watching it.  their contribution to the development of the project might be beneficial.  who's more social than girls? 

advertising.  it should be timed and relevant to the software development.  but also present at other times. i can see its focused on building the network and getting masternodes working.  it can be focused towards the people who might be interested in actually using the application as well though.  and what the benefits are in owning the token connected to it.  if the token is just sort of there, it diminishes the product. or its a payment token, fine.  i don't understand the project all that well.  so i don't know what vision is.  but if i don't know, maybe no one else gets it, either.

developers like to work on software, but their needs to be a front end to the project.  marketing.  and good dynamics in the "community" invested in the coin.  the core group behind the coin can't be the wizards behind the curtain in OZ.  they have to be inclusive.  otherwise people don't know how to be more involved. and this project isn't exactly full of capital. there seems to be trouble even listing the token.  there needs to be more communication from this core developer group.  so that people who've invested can come into the slack and be able to see a direction and some kind of order.  where people are listening to each other.  and there's some sense of who's committed.  and people will change probably.  some will sell out and leave, others will come in. hopefully the price rises gradually.  a big bubble is exciting, but long-term it can be a drag.  i don't know the future. 

a social engine.  with a payment token.  utilizing network nodes to do something.  is this going to be exxplained on slack?  is it going to be cast down from the clouds to the flock somehow?  i'm looking at SocialEngine to see what that's about, and guessing that's the idea, taking that to blockchain.  why are people going to use the Interzone?  one reason:  because other people are there.  where ever this is going, it needs to start from people.  not an algorithm. 

It is interesting that there is such a low volume of selling orders on coinsmarket. Yesterday, price went up rapidly to BTC0.00005 twice. If three people came to buy coins for masternode, the price would rocket  .. it is up to us to attract them 

The developer there is? When a normal exchange?

Please let this not be another chaincoin! , I invested heavily into it, because it seems better then most other nodes, the potential to grow is higher then INN and DSR because of 5000 instead of 1000 coins, less nodes, more rewards, also will they double in the future. Next thing we should make it ASIC resistant and all that, maybe a split to shake some old wallets?

Cryptopia got rich ever since that chaincoin pump. Their server crashed multiple times a day before they upgraded, changed layout and added a bunch of coins that have a good amount of volume. Put night mode on cryptopia and its not so bad.

Sounds like the developer was full of shit about Yobit.  so would be a nice gesture if he actually put it there, or cryptopia, some Bittrex reject site like these. 

Cryptopia sounds alright.

Burroughs is the smallest unit of this token, there in the wallet.  but can the talking assholes be coded in?  can the beat spirit live in this code?  remains to be seen.  some clarity on what this will actually be looking like is really needed though.  more developer involvment with the community.  advertising with a simple message.  WWBD, what would Burroughs do?  some smack in Tangiers?  probably.  

Cryptopia has announced 50% off any listing for coins from NovaExchange.  That's a pretty good move on their part.  I don't know if their is any kind of budget available for that, but it may be worth checking out. --- https://twitter.com/Cryptopia_NZ/status/925228702199193600

So? I told you guys. It's not simple coin. I don't know why, but there somth worth in it!

Naked Lunch (the film) is really good.  if you're reading this and haven't seen it, go watch it to see what Interzone is. 

geezeandbutter, that's a fascinating story.  advertising is so important.  nothing goes very far without it.  that's a lesson right there.  want DASH that's worth hundreds of dollars a piece, or chaincoin that languishes under a dollar for years..  good advertising.  branding.  

i found this token because of the name, because i read Burroughs.  but i don't see that spirit here.  the logo doesn't fit with it.  i don't see any quotes floating around from Naked Lunch.  Interzone is a shitty movie from the 80s, but before that it was the thinly veiled Tangiers that Burroughs lived in, made into some kind of weird place full of strange creatures, talking assholes, aliens secreting addictive substances from glands..  

this token hasn't had a big pump so far.  so its not full of bitter people left in the wake.  but its not clear to me what the direction is for it.  there's activity on github as of two weeks ago or so.  

It was some of the best fun I have had. And I didn't really make anything. Broke even if that. Ok I'm pretty new to crypto. Been mining random stuff since may and stumbled upon highoncoin's random youtube vids talking about masternode coins. He has a video way before he mentioned chaincoin. Now what people don't know is that chaincoin has been around for over 3-4 years. Chaincoin, and darkcoin(which became dash) started around the same time. Who was first? idk. But chaincoin's algo is c11 and dash is x11.

So chaincoin never got the marketing I guess like Dash did. But it was mined by many miners for 3+ years. While worth basically nothing.

Back to the highoncoin's video, he makes it one day just saying "everyone lets buy chaincoin" and I got in a little late at $80 a node. I only had a few, some people bought ALOT. Like they were planning on quitting their jobs. We had people all over the world down with hodl. Idk, it was fun for me. But the fun was they made it into a military strategy game of building walls and pooning whales. Later on though we kind of tried to make friends with whales saying oh whales good, dumpers bad lol. But this epic pump comes from a few hundred people. To a few thousand. It got out of control. Someone got access to the slack and just deleted it lol. Sending a panic.

 Everyone blames highoncoins for the pump n dump but I know for a fact miners dumped a bunch seeing that price go $5+. They mined it for years. So you have dudes waking up finding out they are maybe millionaires, or realizing they should not have thrown away their harddrive(jesus). But man, some really cool funny people at the start. I gave away a MN. And prob close to 1000 coins when it was actually worth a lot. Some guy started crying on another youtuber's video. They called him saying here is like 300 chaincoin. Maybe just under $1k at the time or so. That was what made it.


But enough of that. The reason these coins are alike is that chaincoin is basically been rebranded and taken by the community. If there's no dev here but he's willing to compromise or something, maybe it can happen here too. And you don't have to worry about miner ghosts dumping on you.

anyone making any coins on this  my mn stopped 5 days ago
