Bancor Protocol - Some Facts and Useful Information (Crossed 3000 Followers - Thank You Guys!)

in ethereum •  7 years ago 

Bancor Was another crowdfuding that made Ethereum chain work bad (first one was BAT) but luckily due to longer time (around 3 hours) most people got on the train.
This post may be little longer than usual due to a lot of info so read paragraph titles and if they dont interest you - skip to bottom ie for tutorial or so.

The full sum of money was 396,720 ETH, equivalent to $153,003,311.63 by then. Amazing results.

Their plans to use the funds:

Wings Platform Predictions

Wings was another great ICO and what they have is a prediction market, where people were guessing how many ETH Bancor team will get.

You can buy Wings here - STEEM is there also.

Here is some stats.

  1. Over 22 Million WINGS (22% of total supply) participated
  2. There were 518 valid forecasts submitted
  3. The median forecast is 220,000 ETH (approximately $88 Million); weighted median is 315,394 ETH
  4. Whale (100k+ WINGS) median forecast is 346400 ETH; average is 333,783; weighted average is 317,387; and the whale weighted median is 384,250 (actual was 396,720).
  5. 44 Whale accounts participated
  6. Largest forecaster: 3.77 Million WINGS
  7. Number of forecasts at exactly 1 Million ETH: 8

Bancor Concept was invented in 1940..

Surprised? Read more!
Going by my own blog (yes im quoting myself).
The bancor was a supranational currency that John Maynard Keynes and E. F. Schumacher conceptualised in the years 1940–1942 and which the United Kingdom proposed to introduce after World War II. The name was inspired by the French banque or (‘bank gold’). This newly created supranational currency would then be used in international trade as a unit of account within a multilateral clearing system—the International Clearing Union—which would also have to be founded.
Keynes advocated this proposal advocated at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944.
It stood in contrast to the adopted proposal, which instituted the gold-backed US dollar as the single global reserve currency. When the dollar’s link to gold was severed, the international monetary system became based solely on fiat currency; subject to speculation and alarming instability. Between 1970 and 2010, there have been 425 systemic monetary crises involving countries struggling through a variety of banking, monetary, and sovereign debt crises; an average of over 10 per year.

How to get Your BNT

While participating in the presale smart contract was auto-sending people their tokens after confirmation on ETH network.
Many people used MyEtherWallet and were surprised they dont see tokens.
This is because (as of yesterday) you had to manually add BNT to see them.

The guide is simple.
Login to MEW
Click Add Custom token, paste as contract address: 0x1F573D6Fb3F13d689FF844B4cE37794d79a7FF1C and fill rest.

If you use other wallet that doesnt show balances, use the same info to add this one.

Trade BNT

So far HitBTC exchange added trading of BNT but as IOU so - you can buy it there and wait till they really open the market for withdrawals. Currently they just allow users of exchange trade stash that they bought.

So if you didnt make it on presale - this is the time to get some if you believe it will raise more in price.

Very good post with tons of useful information. I still think that Bancor ICO is as it was supposed to be capped.

Bancor will have delay in share of tokens.

I got a small amount of Bancor (lack of time to research didn't give me too much confidence), hoping for the best. seems like an interesting idea although i do not understand the mechanics of it.

Missed the BAT sale :( and IOTA :(

congratulation on your fulfillment @kingscrown , you deserve it. Your post is inspirational. I will follow you, to learn much more from you

Inspirational, but..
ETH is getting worse with every ICO. And here's why.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I don't think it's getting worse. It's double it's price.

Cheers,
@Yehey
https://QUE.com - I follow all who followed me. I think that's fair :)

I don't think so

Will proof of stake help? It should speed up transaction from what I've gathered. But yeah, ICO's in current form are problematic.

ETH is due for a tumble, if youre able to analyze charts.

Huzzah to the king..stabbey gif looks proud!

Thats for all haters :D

Awesome post with great information. You have just gained another new follower. Lead me to the money bags! ;) Really enjoyed the Jimmy Fallon gif as well. Looking forward to future posts.

Bancor protocol is a great project with using smart tokens as for exchange. It is a revolutionary project and fund so many money than expected. But it bond to Eth, and Eth is about to change from pow to pos, which may have a great change about this bnt tokens. All in all, hope that smart token is more available and cause the exchange will be more convenient :)

Just followed you and upvoted @kingscrown thanks for awesome content! BNT Looks really interesting, I should look deeper into it.

Love when people post videos!! THANKS

Is BNT is new issue? I never listen this currency before?
And what is the major trend for this currency and will last for so long?
Thanks for answering!

Really awesome guide here, especially regarding my ether wallet. I saw a lot of frustrated and confused people that bought BANCOR and were upset that they couldn't find anything.

Great post!!! Thanks for your sharing!! Learnt a lot! Btw I am your follower now ;)

I wasn't able to get into BNT because of the network problems :(

really helpfull nice bro and please follow me and every one friends follow me i will follow you back....

thank you

What a good piece of write. Keep it up

wow you need to teach me how to make money like you do ...the man

Recently i got to see ads with Bancor on my website but i was too lazy (and kind of busy) to search around , to see what it is about. Your post kind of saved my time, probably explained it better than i would have figured it out on my own.

So i assume all these new ETH related coins, you can only 'contribute' if you actually own ethereum, is that right?

This post is so great.

wow exceletn

thank you for the helpful info..upvoted will look forward to your future posts

I did not have to do any of that, they sent me the tokens themselves.

Congrates 👍...I like this post and i follow u to learn more from you ..

thanks for sharing! Great post! #jonyleong

Fascinated on number of forecasts and follow you for uptrend info..

Good for you! Keep posting and working hard, you have some very interesting posts.

i can not wait to see what you guys have the potential to do

Thank you to give us all the news

I read the news and we've just got to be realized that this year steem and all cryptocurrencies will go so high that would never imagined.

Many thanks for your very enlightening post.

Congratulation , many many happy returns of the day..

Great, awesome post

This is great informative. Thanks Kingscrown for your blog.

I think the introduction of these ICO's like Bancor stressing the Ethereum network is a good thing as it tests the overall blockchain under strain from such a large amount of transactions.

Services like wings.ai are a move in the right direction and Bancor's ICO I feel really highlighted the analysis and information backers gained from services like this, whether or not Bancor finds success, you can be sure that the overall Ethereum chain has benefited from being tested under such a large transaction load at this stage.

Bancor itself has a really strong team so you can be sure development continue for years to come. In my opinion investing in Bancor at this point has two possible alternatives, either it increases significantly or it is dumped over a slump in the next few months.

Congratulation...upvoted & resteemed

This ICO is insane. Its a protocol that is proposed.Not even implemented.A portion of the fund is used to implement the stack???The concept is great but still!!!!

GG, congratz, the king deserves his crown

Congratulations on the 3,000!!! That's amazing, keep up the good posts :)

One question I have, do you recommend HitBTC? TBH, most of the reviews I've seen on Reddit and via Google searches have not painted it in the best light... Does anyone here have any experience with it?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Okay I just did some research into the BNC and HitBTC offering...

Please be careful, they do not trade the COINS, they trade IOUs... Which is a promise of a coin once Bancor hits trading. But just as a point of reference, Bancor is right now at around $0.004 and the cost of an IOU is approximately $100... So if you think it's worth buying the IOU at $100 because you think once it hits public trading it'll be greater in value, then it's a good buy. Otherwise... Be careful. This IOU system seems a little fishy and more-than-a-little inflated.

That being said, please do not hesitate to correct me, I might have a complete misunderstanding of the IOU system.
