@brandonfrye this does not look to be a SMT release but a ERC20 release. SMT's to my knowledge are no where near ready to be used. Please confirm.

Thanks for the shout out man, but yeah...I'm so on board with this launch. Simply because I 'understand' this market and I use it every single day.

It'll be my first ICO that I'll be investing in and can't wait to see this project come to fruition.

Exciting times man! If this blows up, Steem to the moooooooon lol

brandonfrye (64) · 7 years ago

This will actually be my first ICO as well. It's already got a proven platform and blockchain, unlike some of these other projects. And there's no concern about the coin getting listed. I hate to keep using this word, but it really is a no-brainer. :)

I truly believe that nobody is surprised to hear about this data issue from Facebook. This is a reinforcement of the need to move away from centralized companies owning our data without fulling disclosing the way they use it to their benefit. It also demonstrates the need for the data privacy regulations worldwide. There are also a lot of blockchain projects that may solve the issue in interesting ways that will permit us to really own our data. Decentralized solutions will probably be the best options in the long term as we will have the best ability to manage our data and where it goes and for what reasons. Just another reason to continue supporting Steemit and the applications using its blockchain.

brandonfrye (64) · 7 years ago

Yeah I feel like this has been going on for years with Facebook. People are really starting to catch on to their business model and what they’ve signed up for. Decentralized social media is the answer.

Will XAP be easily exchangeable to steem? Why should I move or add myself from steemit to Appics? I am interested but also new to steemit and am not sure I can handle doing it all again.

$0.00

brandonfrye (64) · 7 years ago

I feel very confident that it will be. Perhaps even listed on BlockTrades. Even their ICO accepts Steem. And I personally wouldn’t “move” to APPICS. I love Steemit too much. But I will have an account there.

Will APPICS Be Connected To Steemit Like D-tube Steepshot Or Something? And I Can't Seem To Get A Bid In On You're Bot..

$0.00

[-]

brandonfrye (64) · 7 years ago

No, they will be their own standalone blockchain. This is what Dtube is hoping to do as well. And to place a bid it needs to be a minimum of .05 and can’t be too high. If it’s too high of a bid then it will return it because my bot has a guaranteed ROI of no less than -10%.

It’s really simple. You would just go to that same page on the steembottracker website and remove the delegation. Then there is a 7 day cool down period.

Thank you fro the break down. SteepShot & DLive peaked my interest enough to join SteemIt. Appics presale results looked decent & I'm pleased to see there is a cap, the concept is familiar & it allows daily use for something everyone is already doing for free. One thing I hope to see is a way for authors to continue to earn rewards/ passive income from works that are older than 7 days.

I believe SMTs could moon Steem in the way ICOs lifted ETH. I am so hopeful for the price of Steem in 2018 and beyond.

I really think $20 per steem is easy and if Steem really succeeds watch out...

Enjoy your break and family time. Blessings.

The appics platform looks good to me, I think, We should basically trust this platform because it uses SMT based on the steem blockchain and also @ned is the advisor of this platform.

Good luck for the break, spend wonderful time with your family. best wishes from me.

brandonfrye (64) · 7 years ago

No, no Steem in their rewards system. From what I understand, the only token will be their XAP token. However, I haven't read their technical whitepaper yet so I'm not sure if they'll have a liquid form of the coin too, like we have SBDs here. And there is no price yet because it hasn't launched yet. The ICO is pricing the coin at around 15 cents. You can learn more at https://appics.com

Hey @brandonfrye, thanks for introducing APPICS to us.
I can't really compare facebook with steemit. In facebook you can choose your audience (only friends or only to a specific list etc.). Steemit is more like blogging to the public. But of course I like the idea of sharing the value with the content creators.
Why do you think APPICs has such a great future. I see loads of websites coming up based on blockchain technology. I recently got invited to https://dock.io/. I have absolutely no idea what it is about and why I should be using it. I think as long as I don't see what can be done with it except for investing money, I don't see a reason to join one of the platforms. In steemit I see how content is being created and how people interact. I like this. But with all the new websites based on blockchain technology I have no idea what exactly they are for.

$0.00

[-]

brandonfrye (64) · 7 years ago

That's true. Facebook and Steemit are really very different in the grand scheme of things. Steemit is more like reddit than anything else. I was simply comparing how content providers are being rewarded for the sake of this video.

But the reason I think APPICs will be a success is the fact that they're being built with the SMT provided by Steem. Even if they got no outside exposure, they would still be a success just from all the Steem users who will be flocking over to their platform. Steemit was basically the test model for the SMTs and because it's been so successful, more platforms are looking to take advantage of Steemit's proven technology.

And I'm not sure about dock.io. That's the first I've heard of it. There are a TON of projects being built on blockchain technology, and like you, I'm not as interested in the ones that I wouldn't personally use. But there are some that I wouldn't use that I still do invest in. Voise is one of them. I'm not a music creator but I can see the power of setting up a blockchain-based music platform that allows artists to earn 100% revenue. That's just one example. Of course there are other projects that are just completely far-fetched, or even worse, projects that have ZERO plans for anything.
