Topic: THE OFFICIAL ARAGON (ANT) CROWDSALE AND PROJECT THREAD - page 5. (Read 12886 times)

What's this that I read, Luis and Jorge are selling more ANT? A second-round ICO?

To think that once I believed in this project -and in Luis and Jorge- enough to actually invest on it? Just another money-grab scheme, I'm afraid, just that. Wow.

ANT -like ETHER to Ethereum- is just a token with a given value determined by the market. When Aragon is implemented, those tokens will buy a number of things (read extensively about it in the white paper) and will be minted through the provision of a number of services and uses, via fees, much like proof of stake but different. It's future price will be determined, like now, by the market and their rate of inflation by the stakeholders of the coin.

If you believe in this project AND are willing to wait quite a bit of time, purchasing ANT now could be a great investment, but it is pure speculation -like every other coin with the possible exception of Dash, if you have a node-. Current price is quite steep (my opinion) considering all the circumstances and how long in the horizon is a reality of great usage of the Aragon Network AND some of it's key features (the Arbitration one is particularly complex and potentially quite manipulable). But these are times in which development of these things take a bit of time but implementation is usually pretty fast because, obviously, the first to use the applications are the organizations within the proper crypto world itself (think Ethereum, again), so neither of these projects needs to be implemented by a big brick and mortar organization -that seems to be in a very, very distant future and with a big IF in front of it- and can literally thrive on self-propagation of crypto projects. Specifically Aragon can become part of a chain (on top of the Ethereum blockchain) that includes other DAOs -potentially many of them- that will bring added features in a never ending (potentially) decentralized organizational and operational network for all kinds or organizations. You will notice I included a couple of times the word "potential".... in the foreseeable future though, you can look at Aragon as an improvement on the Ethereum smart contracts (allowing distribution of dividends, for instance, which Ethereum doesn't provide), among several other uses such as voting and arbitration (again, this one very far from proven effectively as of now).

I don't know if your interest is in sticking around for a while in Aragon to see what it can really do and what his worth ultimately be, or if you are thinking in investing in it for pure speculative purposes. If the later is the case, I believe there are many other projects that will probably have closer catalysts than Aragon. This one has a long and very winding road ahead before it reaches even a minimal part of what it is set to achieve.

I have taken a look in this project. Did some reading. And I still don't understand what can be done with ANT tokens? Apart from p&d actions, what would effect its pricing?

I see on this blogpost, that the company bought back some of the tokens to distribute on actions like bug bounties, or paying some freelance employees. But those are not the main business of the company, rather means to their business. What I'm currious about is how would this company's vision/business success or failure will effect the tokens?


Btw, from where I stand, I don't think there is a chance that founders would just take away the ico funds and dissappear. They are and apparently will be working on this project, but as I said, I don't understand the needs for tokens (apart from dev funding) in this scenario. It could have made sense if the tokens somehow reflect some amount of company shares but they have stated that it's not the case.

Sorry but not nearly good enough. After the multimillion dollars infusion this should be much, much more aggressively coming out with real updates... in the form of CODE. In the form or alliances. In the form of ADVANCING the calendar. In the form of hiring.... you know MOVING forward, really moving forward. No one is sitting and waiting on the beach, like Luis and Jorge are doing now, in crypto. Aragon is not unique in any way and Microsoft -of all organizations-, for instance, is eating already its future lunch. With many other well funded competitors going at it at strenuous pace.

Like I said: Disappointed.

Hope we can make huge money from Aragon, any ETA of the next releases? ANT to da moon!

Aragon is by far one of the best cryptocurrencies when it comes to information. Any questions is answered promptly on their Slack channel and their blog is very much alive.

Among recent news is the Q2 development update and hiring of a senior full stack web3 engineer.

I am extremely supportive of this project -and heavily (for me) invested in it, but 2 1/2 months have passed since the ICO and no news of any significance regarding the progress of the project or any hirings. Luis and Jorge have going dark, deeply. Maybe they are still counting all those million$ they made in the ICO and are taking it way to easy... I know it's the summer and all but we have paid them, in advance, very dearly. They should be producing news of significance if not daily, at least every week. It isn't like they don't have resources now.

In cryptoland 2 1/2 months is almost an eternity.

Disappointed.

Yes all these emails are scams,do not open them or fill in your private key or you will lose everything in your wallet

The email from Jorge Izquierdo offering 1000 ANT for free is a scam, right?

I think Aragon the only company that keeps its token holders up to date on whats happening in the project,most others seem to go dark after the crowdfund

There's a lot of reading material all over, including their website. Google it.

Unfortunately, they basically only communicate through Slack and Twitter, which leaves quite a bit of people that would otherwise be interested in this great project (almost reality) out of it.

Giving the scope of the project and it's current valuation, I believe it represents a significant investment opportunity.

PD disclosure: I'm long ANT at the moment. And, for future reference, ANT is trading at 0.00081 BTC =$2.06 at the moment.

Where is the ann thread for Aragon? I can't seem to find it. Want to find out more about the ongoings of the project.

it's so cool . I will try to use this app. This project seems to be very impressive with me .
This coin has brought back much profit for all investors who joined ICO launching. you are doing very well, Dev.

This is a great news, I still believe market is still valuing this project low, when the rally starts, we are heading for top 20 on coinmarketcap

If somebody miss this important news...

BTW does Aragon have official ANN thread? I cannot believe nobody pay closer attention to this amazing project.

Aragon has been added to shapeshift. The marketcap is still so low I expect it will pump hard in the following days.
