Topic: Utopia P2P Ecosystem 💎 | Review Campaign 🔎| Get paid in BTC | Full members+ - page 13. (Read 14306 times)

I finally received my CRP tokens and am ready for my review. The review is divided into two categories—features I liked and Features that didn't really stand out.

Features I liked:

• Registration - I downloaded the Utopia software on my Mac and the registration process was a smooth experience and intuitive as well. It didn't take long before my Utopia account was up and running. Simple and straightforward as it should be.
• Chat - There are a number of active chat channels to keep users busy in the Utopia ecosystem. Aside from just sending and receiving value, it was fun to communicate with other ecosystem users and stay engaged with them.
• Utopia AI - So Utopia has its very own AI chatbot which is based on GPT and it did justice to some of my questions. What's interesting is that the AI is trained on some Utopia ecosystem data so it can answer questions specific to the Utopia ecosystem. This a quick way to get clarity on some of the platform features. This earned a point in my books.
• CRP<>UUSD swap feature - Easy and intuitive built-in service to swap between CRP and UUSD. Bonus point for the near-zero fees.
• Full provenance of Treasure Data - The Treasury and ecosystem data such as UUSD supply, transaction volume, fees, etc have full, real-time provenance data.
• Shop with Utopia USD - This is another feature I loved.
• UI colour schemes - Loved the fact that there are an array of colour schemes to choose from. Classic Dark was my instant favourite.

Features that didn't really stand out:

• UI/UX - As someone who has used plenty of software, The overall user interface and user experience weren't very intuitive for me. I had a hard time learning what features and tabs meant and early on, it wasn't easy to navigate the application. Sometimes, I navigate out of a tab like Chat Lobby and can't immediately know how to go back. Also, The user interface is clogged up as there are so many things available on the screen at the same time. If the UI gets a modern revamp, then it would definitely be a 5/5 vote from me. 
• Utopia AI improvement - Liked the AI chatbot feature and wished it was faster. I also wished the chatbot could maintain the context of the current chat. I asked a follow-up question to my previous prompt and it didn't have the context. 
• Scroll-ball issue? - I had a subtle issue with my mouse scroll ball not working well with the screen scroll of the application. For instance, I was scrolling in one of the channels here using the scroll ball, the page went numb.

My Desktop Review of Utopia P2P Ecosystem

I have installed the desktop application on my Windows 10 laptop. I did not face any problems while installing the application. I disabled the windows defender before the installation. I guess that is why the installation went so smoothly. What I found interesting is that no registration was needed to access the platform. A welcome screen popped up as soon as I was on the platform.

The welcome page gives a brief tour of the functionality and important benefits of the platform. It also displays the Public key which is my address in the network. Later on, I found out that you can find it in your profile too. After going through the welcome page the first thing I did was to change the UI theme to Dark. After changing the theme it felt soothing to my eyes. The dark theme made the UI more impressive than the Light theme.

Next, I went to my profile and changed my Avatar, added my mood message, and updated my nickname. I also wanted to create my uNS name but unfortunately, I did not have 10 CRP. Next, I went to the chat lobby and I found out that the team will be launching U Music soon. This will be another great addition to the platform.



What did I like most?

uNS (Utopia Name System): I was not able to create my own uNS as there was a cost attached to it. I wanted to know why the team was charging for it. While going through the faq I found out that it is the decentralized version of DNS that runs within their ecosystem. After going through the faq I felt this feature is one of the best UPS of the ecosystem.

Suggestions:

uMail: At the moment it is restricted to emails within the ecosystem. The team should enable mail to and from other mail services. The process of sending mail is tiresome as the sender needs to first add the public key of the receiver in order to send mail.

Crytpon Exchange: I felt that the team should come up with features to enable buying CRP on their platform using local fiat or other cryptocurrencies. At the moment we still have to go to third-party exchanges to make that purchase.

Overall my experience with the ecosystem was great. What makes it phenomenal is its ability to integrate so many different things into one screen. To make it more trustworthy the team should make the source code open. Hoping the team discloses some parts of their code as they mentioned in the faq in the future.

Alright, I finally got my laptop's charger replaced and will go ahead and write the Utopia review.

My review is regarding the desktop version, but I was amazed to see that it's available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Android. The website is versatile and easy to browse, with an intriguing interface. Downloading, installing, and creating a new account were simple enough, so I'm not going to post any screenshots or waste any more time analyzing this process.

After completing the registration and logging in to your account, you're welcomed with the following welcome page, which briefly demonstrates all the necessary information you need to get started, along with four different themes to choose from (light, dark, etc.) and your public key, which is also your uWallet address in order to receive payments.


Utopia's native currency is the Crypton (CRP) and the newly introduced (in 2021) a soft-pegged stablecoin to the USD, featuring anonymous and instant transactions.

The key features of the Utopia client will be briefly explained and are the following:

uMessenger: An instant encrypted messenger, supports text and voice messaging, file transfers, and the creation of group chats.

uMail: An efficient, simple, and spam-free email provider for secure communication.

uChannels: Allows the creation of encrypted private and public channels for all data and messages.

uWallet: An electronic wallet for anonymous and instant transactions between Utopia users in the Crypton (CRP) currency.

Mining: Receive rewards for supporting the network.

Idyll Browser: A built-in browser designed for anonymous and private browsing.

One of the most delightful and useful features are the channels, you'll find pretty much every kind of channel you need, from off-topic, to local ones and most importantly, to request assistance. Personally, this kind of layout reminds me of Discord and pretty much resembles a gaming and out-going platform.
Another great feature, a private encrypted mailing provider, simple and efficient enough to get the job done. Nothing much to explain here, it performs like your regular Gmail or Outlook.
This is a rather unusual but interesting addition to spike things up, games. They features an chess and poker game. I'd play chess but didn't have a companion to invite and decided to try Poker, even though I'm not a fond of card games. I created a new table and waited for a while, unfortunately, no one joined but this might be a personal issue because I have zero connections on the ecosystem.
And last, but not least feature I'd like to mention, are the crypto cards. Basically, you can create and customise your own crypto card, a small note here before I continue, I'd prefer if there was a larger variety of colors and customisations, minor and petty detail, but I believe that it'd be a nice touch. The card required a 3 CRP issue fee, and proceeded with the card creation, which required only a matter of a few seconds. Then, I sent the remaining 2 CRP on my crypto card.

In conclusion, the Utopia ecosystem serves exactly its purpose and its name. It's an entire ecosystem, consisting of a huge variety of services, from chat messengers, to email providers, to anonymous payments, games, a browser and plenty of other additions, all of which are great. In my opinion, the platform shows great expectations and capabilities. One of the main complaintsfor myself is that the application seems to slow down older and budget computers quite a lot. My older laptop struggled a lot to keep up, but any other semi-decent laptop is likely to have performed just fine.. While there's always room for improvement, Utopia offers some top of the notch advantages, such as:

1. Anonymous transactions
2. No KYC required
3. Instant and affordable transactions
4. Beneficial network infrastructure to avoid congestion
5. Crypto cards for anonymous payments
6. Linux, Windows, Mac OS and Android version

It was an honor to have the opportunity to try the Utopia Ecosystem and I wish the developers good luck and to keep up the great work!

My Destop Review:
 
1. I installed the Utopia app window version, and I must say it has an easy-to-use installation setup that anyone can install without any need for any form of addictional knowledge. Although my Windows Defender detected the app as unsafe, which I don't know why, I just had to ignore it and continue the process.
 
2. The welcome page looks amazing; the option for layout settings just appears, which is a good thing; there is no need for one to be searching for it, especially for those who have a little eye issue and prefer using darkscreen; it fits all in well for them.
 
3. uMail: This part is just built like the normal email box, but it seems a little different and difficult for me to control since it has the sent box, inbox, and outbox together with every other as presented by Gmail, for example. I cannot find the option to send mail to my personal email box. All I could find in the inbox was a welcome note from Utopia AI. Or am I looking for a feature that is not present on the app?
 
4. Channel/Chat: The settings look okay for me, although it was kind of difficult for me to locate the lobby chat. Another thing that I am still finding difficult is how to create a personal group for which I could share the link with others if I wanted them to join me. May be for business discussion.
 
5. The wallet app is built to notify its user of all unread messages; even without opening the app, I can see the number of unread messages at the top of the app icon, just as in normal Facebok Messenger. Can such a notification be activated for all incoming transactions too? because I was going into the uWallet to check every minute if the expected funds had been transferred or not, until I was notified in the forum.
 
6. Crypto card: I have only 5 CRP, which could not cover the fee for the card. To me, the card should have more features like those of other visual cards. or allowing me to customize the card without any limitations
 
7. Utopia Mobile: I just installed the mobile app to test run the sending process; let me check the sending and receiving speeds, but the mobile app only has messaging features; I could not find other features that are available here on the desktop.
8: Sending CRP to another wallet: Create another wallet, generate a public key, and use the send option. It looks okay; there is a confirmation window that one could use to confirm if the address is correct, and the sending out amount and fee are just about 0.1%, which is okay.

Conclusion:
The app makes complete sense to me, and if I am to recommend the use case, I will say the mobile app is fit for everything concerning messaging, whereas the desktop is for sending and other crypto-related transactions, including minning.

Edit: I just happen to on my PC today and realize the desktop app is on auto run, which seems not normal to me, maybe I might have been the open to enable such option in the first place but, right now unless I use my PC privacy settings to disable the auto run, I can't find such option from the app.

First, I would like to thank joeperry for recommending the project. I have downloaded and installed them on my personal phone first, and it is indeed an easy to use app with a simple registration process. Then switch to PC settings, and here are my reviews with UTOPIA


I have found some information about the project from their homepage https://u.is/ ,
Honestly, it feels pretty web-based, simple and beautiful. As far as I can see, this is a free, anonymous and uncensored product oriented project designed for secure communication, anonymous payments and truly borderless internet. Comprehensive surveillance, information flow control and accurate official deception. Users can bypass online censorship and firewalls, meaning you are free to communicate with whoever you want whenever you want. Freedom of speech is guaranteed by the Utopia ecosystem.

And talking about the ecosystem on Utopia, as I have observed on the website, it includes a number of products such as Crypton, Utopia USD, Crypton Exchange. However, that's not all they have, when I use the application on the computer it gives me quite a lot of surprises in the experience of an application.

Let's talk a little bit about Crypton, a decentralized cryptocurrency and the main payment unit of Utopia ecosystem. Official ticker of Crypton is CRP. The entire process of mining and buying ecosystem resources is denominated in Crypton. Unique features of Crypton include:

• Unprecedented privacy, completely untraceable transactions
• Decentralized architecture mean ing that your balance cannot be expropriated
• Instant transaction processing time
• All transactions are final and cannot be reversed
• Earnings through mining and interest on account balance
• Built-in secure and convenient wallet
• Sophisticated API for merchants

Utopia USD stablecoin is an anonymous, low cost payment method designed to maintain 1:1 parity with the US Dollar. It is built upon Utopia’s serverless, peer-to-peer blockchain. UUSD's value is backed by DAI cryptocurrency collateral that is publicly verifiable and equals the total supply of UUSD. https://etherscan.io/address/0x2Cf6717fA2C1fea68F4bdedC26B578898651C270
The liquidity of the Utopia USD is supported by several exchanges including Crypton Exchange ensuring fast and cost effective conversion to other currencies. Crypton Exchange is available at https://crp.is/ or CRP from inside the Utopia ecosystem.

And that's a quick look at some of the standard products on the UTOPIA ecosystem, I find that by devoting all my time and resources to this tool for freelance individuals, they strive towards a fairly practical service that will self-regulate using algorithms and logical and mathematical analysis based on the experience of thousands of years of existing civilizations.

Utopia is a feature-rich platform specifically designed to protect communication privacy, security and privacy of personal data. It was created for the security-conscious public who believe that privacy is paramount. Below you'll find information about the key features that make Utopia unique, along with comprehensive screenshots. Utopia is a decentralized network, with no central server involved in data transmission or storage. The network is supported by people who use many of its high-quality features.

• INSTANT MESSAGING AND FILE TRANSFER
• BUILT-IN IMAGE VIEWER
• UWALLET
• MINING
• UTOPIA P2P NETWORK
• MULTIPLAYER GAMES
• UTOPIA AI
• DARK THEME

Conclusion:
Utopia helps protect user privacy, protects me from network surveillance and traffic analysis. And a great combination of messenger, browser, e-wallet and email. And without any documents like email, phone number when registering, all I need to do is create a new login and password. So the more secure they feel that they can be hacked, the less anyone will find the information.

After receiving the 5 CRP I needed to try this app, I quickly explored what things I can do with it.

1. Crypto Card - As soon as I got the CRP I thought I need to have this card so that I have the convenience when it comes to fully using all the services in the Utopia app. Firstly it's nice to have this kind of thing because this is one of the unique features that its other competitors don't have and it will be nice if we have lots of choices on where to use it especially when purchasing crypto items.

2. Sending/Receiving - Like the other wallet apps that I've used this one is slightly fast and also convenient people just need to know the basics before using it or else they might lose their CRP. The preview transaction is so helpful because it helps users double-check the details before finalizing the CRP they are about to send.

3. Swap - I don't know if this is possible but to have some other coins to choose from when swapping is another way to expand or increase the number of your users, so this is another thing to work on I think. also, the way we swap our CRP is easy and also convenient which makes it easy for someone who is first time to use it.

4. uMAIL - One of the best feature to have in a crypto wallet because they don't need to use their social media account in order to connect with the people they need to transact and also they have their own privacy using this feature if they wanted to keep their conversation only for themselves without worrying some 3rd party surveillance like social media have.

5. Airdrop - This is one of the Unique ideas for the users constantly using your app because everyone wants to have free CRP but I think it should have a reasonable amount of rewards in order to be attracted, you guys might consider working to raise it slightly and also make some other campaign that will help people to find and use it.

6. Uvoucher - I guess this is the one that I like the most because in order for me to give someone some CRP, I don't need to ask them their wallet address, all I need is to give them a voucher which I can put in it any amount I want, isn't it amazing?

7. IDYLL BROWSER - I can't use it when I tried to browse Facebook and other social media sites, I wonder what's wrong? I think you guys need to build a search engine as well because most users will only need browsers for quick searches and to have your own personal quick search engine in your browser will be helpful for them.

8. UTOPIA AI - I was curious to know when I first read this one, I thought it was just a chatbot where it will only answer your questions regarding Utopia but it's also helpful and Yes it also is useful for quickly making a Facebook post and Tweets. I'm glad to have this feature available in your app.

Overall Utopia has so many things to offer its users and has the means to compete in the crypto market. One man cannot finish all the tasks to try all its features but I'm glad to be chosen to try it All I can say is there will be no doubt if they can create such a crypto wallet, they have all the means to develop it further to compete with the others that are popular today. I was part of their signature campaign years ago and I can say that they are truly dedicated to giving their users full convenience throughout their updates through these years. In their upcoming updates, I'm sure they won't let us down and hear our suggestions to improve Utopia.

First time accessing Utopia Resource, I'm a person who loves old tech. That's means, not really need a design with some slides and random animation just need a simple website because I really love and only care about the use case. My first time visiting the resource website not find any problems or difficulty finding the information needed for starting the journey using Utopia.

• Downlaod and Installation Wallet
  I don't find any trouble or problem while trying to install Utopia WALLET everything was smooth, the download and installation can be done in under 5 mins without needing a hard setup for us as the user.
  
• Registeration account
  Same as the previous post, this one is also easy to be done. In my perspective, even if the user is not really crypto-geeks they still can set up Utopia Account without having a difficult time because the registration is almost the same as registering on a website. Good points for this one, from the perspective of the new users (especially non-crypto users who want to try the wallet).
• Welcome Page
  Most of the wallets or service is always provided information about the wallet or their service in the #HELP section. IMO, the pops-up welcome page at the first time we accessed the wallet is quite helpful for most users. Good feature, because can help at least a minimum of 80-90% of the information we needed for the wallet the rest 10% is gonna be earned by user experience

• Main-Dashboard Wallet
  If you have experience with wallet, UTOPIA Wallet has an easy interface to search for trying a few features. It's almost not hard for me, like (File, Edit, Search, Contact, and View) will be always can be found, and trying on UTOPIA Wallet not really different.
• Social Feature (Chats, Channel, Mail)
  To be honest, In crypto-space, this feature on the wallet is not really tried so much(Chats and Mail). I trying to use the #Channel feature because is something new while the other two are not new at all for me. I need to agree with other members who is giving the review, most of the #Channel is being used for spamming even though there have so many channels for over 4,000 channels. IMO, there should be some rules they needed to be passed for a channel who want to be search on global (So, we want to provide a channel with a good reputation, activity, and member).
  
  I said, not really trying so much on "Chat & Mail" but while accessing (Chat) some interesting things are make me want to try it. First time to see windows wallet provided AI, for me is a good feature because is follows the trend and development of tech.
• Wallet Section
  The design and a few things in here are really good being setup, transaction not really different with other wallet as user who have experience so for me is not a problem. However, I found a few features only on UTOPIA compared on other wallet are:
  - Crypto Card
  - Swap
  - uVoucher
  Because most of Crypto-Card or Swap always have a different service while we needed to connect the wallet on swap/card feature. Meanwhile UTOPIA can adopted this on their wallet to make us as the user can access all the feature in a single screen without needing to access on somewhere else. Trying to created a card, is really faster to be created only a few second. I hope in the feature the custimation card not only by word but also can custom image of the card not just colour.
  
  uVoucher are the one make me more interested. In my local exchange called (Indodax), we have this feature is really helping while transaction, gift, giveaway and other without requested on knowing other people address. So, these feature are really helping especially for the user who don't want their address getting recognize we can use as the voucher.
  
• Games
  If you look my history post, 90% are on Gambling Section. These part are make me interested, but the disappointed came out because the game table are empty and while want to tried the games. My suggestion, maybe there should be have some bot with free-entry: Chest can 1vs1 with Bot and Poker have a free-table provided by Utopia with free entry. The purpose, for user knowing how the interface game it self before we actually betting on the games

5 CRO for Review the wallet are being used on (Crypto-Card, Creating uVoucher, Swap).

I received 5 CRP and I'm ready to give my honest review.

Downloading/installing the software and registering an account went without any problems, so I don't want to waste time discussing this.
I also don't want to post any screenshots, because I never had any problems running the software and many people have posted screenshots in their reviews before me.

The software seems to be full with many features. Some of them are really useful, while others doesn't look essential for the project(at least from my point of view).

1.POKER/CHESS I really wanted to try the poker and chess games offered by Utopia, but from what I see, there aren't any active poker tables and the chess game is available only if I invite someone from my contact list. I don't know why there aren't any active poker tables. Maybe there's a problem within the search functionality, or maybe nobody is playing poker in Utopia.

2.CRYPTO CARD I seriously thought that this is going to be some sort of crypto virtual credit card(VCC) service just like Paywithmoon, so I was excited to try out this feature. It turns out that those crypto cards are limited only to the Utopia platform. I guess that this was my misunderstanding of the term "crypto card", and maybe the team behind Utopia should clarify this in their FAQ.

3.uVOUCHER From what I see this is supposed to be some kind of gift card voucher system, designed to replace direct CRP payments.
The first thing I thought was "is this really necessary?". Can't the Utopia users simply send and receive CRP payments, instead of creating crypto cards and uVouchers?

4.uMAIL It would be really nice if this uMail feature can be used to replace services like Protonmail. Unfortunately, I guess that this feature is also limited within the Utopia ecosystem. It would be great if uMail expands outside Utopia(without damaging the user's privacy, of course).

5.IDYLL BROWSER I really like the idea behind this browser. Maybe the Tor browser will finally have a strong competitor.
However, I tried opening Idyll browser and the browser loading speed is really slow. Maybe the problem is in my PC and my internet connection.

6.MINING I wanted to start mining CRP on a Linux VPS, but I recently found out that all miners have to stake 64 CRP, in order to start mining. Maybe this should be mentioned in the FAQ of the Utopia website.

7.UTOPIA AI This is one of the features I really like and I will use it more often. I was too lazy to open an Open.ai account in order to use ChatGPT.  With Utopia, I get ChatGPT without having to open an account anywhere.

8.uMAPS Knowing the Geolocation of all Utopia channels is a pretty interesting feature, but is it really useful?

Utopia is very user-friendly and really easy to use. The downside of the platform is the small userbase, but I hope that this will change in the future. I didn't have any problems with the software(maybe except Idyll Browser).
Good luck with this project to the team behind Utopia and to all Utopia users.
