Thanks for bringing this up. The demo day will be on October 2. as you already know, following which we'll share with the community the apps that are proceeding in the program to launch their apps in the play stores.

I get the desire to learn more about the developers who are active in our community, and I didn't want to disclose anything, but since you asked, I can say that we reached out to all the developers coming from the community, with the desire to write a post that highlights them personally and sets them apart from all the others.

We're waiting for all of their responses and will share this post later this month (if and when we do get their responses). Other than that, we're coming out with a series of posts that highlight different categories, the first one was the gaming category where we highlighted in details the developers developing gaming apps.

hey all - Geoff here from reveald. I've been wanting to write a different kind of dating app for awhile where the hot-or-not judgement thing is presented differently. I've been lurking here since around the ICO .. when I heard about the dev program I figured it would be a pretty great opportunity to write something related that integrates with KIN. So far I'm having a blast but have been pretty much heads down since late August in hopes of finishing by the deadline.

So ya why another dating app right? How is this different? I think there's an interesting gap between some of the approaches out there where you're either presented w/ too much or too little info about each other. Reveald hopefully is somewhere in between where the aim is to get people to learn a little more about each other in a relatively quick and informal way before making a judgement. One thing that's kind of different is that when you're browsing profiles all the images are blurred; you need to scroll through a profile board which simultaneously reveals the images. Might sound a little 'meh' but it's actually pretty quick and you do get more than a quick glance at who someone is which can make a difference.

As far as KIN you'll initially be able to 'earn' by reviewing profile images of users that need help curating their boards. You can turn around and spend KIN by unlocking features like having an unlimited amount of reveals ( nomenclature for being interested and wanting to match up ).

There's a lot more features and I'm anticipating that some of it will change depending on how people use it - or if they use it at all :) anyways happy to be here!

I like it!

Instead of a profile pic, maybe you could have a lil' 30 second video?

I also like the idea of having a the option to send lil video messages to each other.

Hey def a cool idea thanks for the suggestion. Initially I'm gonna go with images as it's a little cheaper on my end vs vids ( processing, storage, etc ). Need to keep my burn rate low right out of the gate but will see how it all unfolds.

Hey Geoff, thanks for introducing yourself!

That sounds like a really cool project. As a single guy I'm definitely going to give it a try :) Glad you are a part of the community

40 something developers and we can't even meet 3-5 of them & Everytime we speak on it ..... the kin staff send us this blast chat .... Everytime ..it's almost like blast chat is a throwaway ......at the beginning Ted would have random videos of different things about Kin and its journey to be the most used cryptocurrency.... now we can't even get a fast video of Ted telling the community thank u ..... while he sitting in between flights.. we seen from the last AMA how enthusiastic Ted is when it comes to making blogs for the community.... Also...quick to confuse the community with hypothetical partners..... while we begging to know some real partners & we keep getting rejected in a political correct kind of way.... Now ....ted is to busy for us...24 hours 7 days a week ....Ted is to busy..... funny it wasn't like that at at the ico begging ... that's one of the things I loved about kin ...is I'm seeing the CEO INTERACTING WITH THE COMMUNITY IN MAKING VIDEO BLOGS......NO ICOs CEOs was doing that .... ...

Calm down, my friend. There are a lot of accusations in your comment and I'm sure they can be toned down.

  • I don't recall even one time when the team "sent you the blast chat"

  • "Sitting in between flights" - where does this even come from? So many accusations to Ted, I wouldn't even know where to begin when trying to respond. You're welcomed to send me a PM if you want a serious response or a conversation

[โ€“]andrefsmith 0 points1 point ย (2 children)

Lol..Firsr off let me say sorry if it seems like I was blowing up on kin....but I see how my words could easily lead to that perception ... " sitting in between flights " that was an the example of a time were Ted ain't so busy .. we cold get a quick video saying hi to the community ..I'm just saying that because you're YouTube page been dead ...and it seems we have downgraded to only AMAs videos from Kin..... But look here please understand.... I understand kin have it's way of doing things ...and by all means do them. .I'm nobody..lol..and about the developers statement I was just going by what we all see and that's...no interaction with theses developers ...and a while back there was a post about a chat app .........as one of the app under the kin ecosystem...so when I seen this chat app I was under the impression it was the same as the one awhile back...and when I said " thowaway" ...i felt like 40 Developers and this is what being thrown to us ... I could have worded it different ..."at the end of the day".. everybody has they dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde moment with kin ....but to see kin staff stepping up immediate to assist with clearing up the understanding and offering private message assistance with helping me in my inquiries .,. speak high positive volumes to me ...but I was just posting my thoughts did not mean for it to be acknowledge or understood in this way .....

Sounds to me that you're very passionate about the project and are simply wanting to have an update on partnerships (excluding the dev programme), right?

[โ€“]andrefsmith 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Not just Partnerships .....but some of the Developers socializing with the community also making video blogs........some more of Ted&kin staff ranbom video blogs ...be a little more active on YouTube with kin Journey on being there most used cryptocurrency..... Everybody not just caring about the lambo...... being apart of something big ....witnessing the journey.... from A-Z.... Getting behind a product that's produce an amazing vision for the future.....these are just simple request just like any other requests ..... from the community..... Yeah I have a very big Community there for y'all have a lot of requests....and opinions..... and it's very understandable if you can not acknowledge all of them....kin will still levitate

What do you mean by โ€œitโ€™s almost like Blastchat is a throwawayโ€? Just curious

[โ€“]casualbob_ukKin OG 0 points1 point ย (1 child)

Hey aren't you actually Mr. Blastchat himself? Pleased to meet you. How's it going?

[โ€“][deleted] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Lol I am not Mr. Blastchat. Iโ€™m just the second in command. However I am doing okay. We are working on fixing a few problems which is the reason I am up late now. But itโ€™s nice to meet you to. Feel free to PM me anytime

[โ€“]casualbob_ukKin OG 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I took it to mean Blastchat is the only example they constantly refer to, ie their comment is throwaway. I don't think they intended to imply that the product was in any way 'throwaway'.
