As you can see, there is merit to driving more volume and traffic to the decentralized Etherdelta.  I first petitioned Poloniex at the close of the ICO and again just recently.

Volume on Etherdelta is about 3 to 4 thousand ETH daily, $750k to $1M in VERI

Agreed. The Etherdelta platform is solid. There are other distributed exchanges pending including 0x, and NVO - the ERC20 tokens are built for distributed exchanges! Thank you for the update, in my experience Poloniex is slow to add tokens.

I don't rely think they are slow, the first thing first, they need to protect traders' fund. The increase in demand for trading platform has put significant strain on their infrastructure, until they upgrade their infrastructure I can't see them adding more tokens to their exchange, but Bittrex is a very good exchange too likewise Kraken

What do you mean by inadequate? It is actually very adequate, just that it is a very very small exchange and the target group of traders is much smaller than on exchanges as poloniex or bittrex. So everyone is hoping to get on the big stage in order to get a bigger audience. But as said, those bigger exchanges want to see either a valid project or a bigger audience who is really interested in that token before they put the effort in implementing the trading.
If you believe that this project will become very big in the future - dont care about the exchanges for now.
If you want to get out with a profit - use etherdelta.

Someone please explain to me why Etherdelta is inadequate for trading VERI right now.

I do not understand the impatience with getting listed on a centralized exchange.  Volume will come in due time.

With destroyed I meant that this veri token is out of the system and can not be used anymore.[...] or is it gone from the veri-network?

I am unaware of any scenario where Veri are destroyed. This is not common for tokens. It is sometimes done in other crowdsales. Though this is as an incentive to early adopters and usually announced before the sale begins. Reggie has been quite clear that the reserve tokens are intended for banks and other high network corporations.

I'm pasting my analysis of the last 7 days trading on Etherdelta:

Dont aim for poloniex. 3-4K ETH per day is by factors lower than the lowest traded asset on poloniex and even those get thrown out regularly. Bittrex is the only real chance. However, the best chance is to deliver value Smiley.

Effective marketing is very important and crucial in everything commercial that we do.

Look at how Dash drives adoption with their Amanda Johnson's videos explaining complicated things to the layperson, creating awareness, etc, with illustrations, etc.

If your presentation is not polished or look professional (like sitting crossed legged on a sofa wearing shoes without socks in an interview, just an example), that's okay. Just hire someone who is professionally presentable to do the PR job instead.

The idea isn't "my way or the highway", but any way that can create the most awareness, the most exposure, the most adoption, the most participation, etc. If being conventional will help, then be conventional.

But what do I know. Maybe Veritaseum is a special case that doesn't need good marketing like the other tokens.

Sell man, and buy Dash.  If that's the way you feel why aren't you chilling on their thread?

Don't prefer Amanda Johnson's style.  She didn't sell me any Dash.  I tried to pay attention but Zzzzz.

That's what great about the marketplace, people can go to where they find value. Whatever attracts them to investments.  VERI is much earlier in the business cycle than Dash.

Much prefer Reggie's cool and laid back attitude.  Infers he's in control.

What I undertsood in these veri tokens is that they are getting used like a ticket and not traded like a currency... once a token is used it disappears 4 ever from the market... u can´t use it again. Correct me if i´m wrong

VERI are tradable for goods or services. If you give me a VERI I now have it. If you give Reggie a VERI for a service, he will probably record it on his books. There is no reason to destroy them.

What is unclear is how the Autonomous contracts will function, and again, it should be expected that you are trading a token for a good or service, and the commiserate value returned.

Think of it like buying a pack of Giftcards at CostCo. they may have been discounted, and you are trading them for Goods, or services. You now longer control the card/token, it has not been destroyed.

Also my calculation on current valuation of Veritaseum as a entity is $16,436,137, this is based on the real cash FLOAT of Veritaseum, and not the unissued reserve.




Thanks for the information.

So you can sell your tokens, I agree you can do that, most of us plan to do this one day. You can also use your token to get access to the analysis engine which costs 1 veri each research and you power this research with eth-gas. Whats gonna happen with this token? Goes back to the company/Reggie which/who will sell this token again one day or is it gone from the veri-network?

An email I just got from Poloniex...

Dear Reggie Middleton,
We don't have a comprehensive set of criteria as each project is unique. We watch the community and select projects that we believe are unique, innovative, and that our customers would be interested in trading. The best advice I can give is to build a product that has strong (organic) market demand.

As you can see, there is merit to drivimg more volume and traffic to the decentralized Etherdelta.  I first petitioned Poloniex at the cloaenof the ICO and again just recently.

Volume on Etherdelta is about 3 to 4 thousand ETH daily, $750k to $1M in VERI

bittrex is faster. and maybe gatecoin.

thank you reggie, for the opportunity. happy to be on board.

for the truth!  Cool

Has the Veritaseum ICO ended, or is it still open to investors?
The Crowdsale is OVER. I see that people are still sending ether to the contract. Stop you are wasting gas.

Do your own due diligence and come up with your valuation of VERI, then buy them where you can. Etherdelta has a low volume market currently. When listed on larger exchanges we will see MUCH higher volume. This could drive the price back to 0.033 ether per VERI or it could go higher... The market will decide. Based on past tokens, I would say we are more likely going higher than 0.033. The time for cheap VERI is over, you will now have to pay the market price.

Thanks for the reply. Can i currently buy VERI on Etherdelta? I don't see it listed there!

Reggie referred to the entire capital market of $1.635 quadrillion for Veritaseum to disintermediate.

But he also expressed his platform services only financial products that are illiquid and non-standardized (like letters of credit).

Such market is very small, much smaller than the entire capital market that is both standardized and non-standardized.

If that is true, then how is it appropriate for Reggie to refer to this $1.635 quadrillion figure?

Both the forex ($1.378 trillion) and equities & futures ($163 trillion) markets are predominantly standardized, very liquid, and have minimal friction costs.

That would leave only a small fraction of the entire capital market for him to disintermediate, a long shot from that $1.635 quadrillion figure.

I have no opinion of whether non-standardized transactions are ideal or otherwise, nor do I have any opinion of whether I should rewire my brain and start falling in love with non-standardized trades; that I leave to the capital market that Reggie tries to disintermediate to decide.

No, I am not a potential user of Veritaseum because I don't have any non-standardized assets with high friction costs to transact.

I am just curious if there is a possible misrepresentation of that $1.635 quadrillion capital market that can be disintermediated.

I don't want to slander nor be slandered out of this, so tell me where am I wrong in this?

What I undertsood in these veri tokens is that they are getting used like a ticket and not traded like a currency... once a token is used it disappears 4 ever from the market... u can´t use it again. Correct me if i´m wrong

Does anyone know the ticker of this when listed ? As veri is already taken by another coin ?

What coin is using the VERI ticker already?  I just checked Bittrex, and I don't see any.  There is VRC (VeriCoin) and VRM (Verium), but I don't see any VERI, yet.

Anyway, I expect it will be VERI, or maybe VE, but we'll have to wait and see.
