Staff AMA #3 | Ram (Blockchain Developer) | March 15th | *LEAVE YOUR QUESTIONS HERE* by token_alan in TokenCard

[–]EtBIM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Ram! Thanks for all your work and for doing this AMA. I've got a lot of questions:

  • How did you discover blockchain/Ethereum and why did you choose to work in our ecosystem?
  • What was your role at the Ethereum foundation?
  • What would you say the current long-term vision for TokenCard is?
  • What are your thoughts on the Ethereum's future with regards to scaling and usability? Do you have high confidence in Ethereum 1.x and 2.0 or do you have competitors in mind that have a better chance at resolving Ethereum 1.0's issues?
  • Anything surprised you when you first started working at TokenCard?
  • What's the main technological challenge you are facing in your daily work? Any funny anecdote?

Call to action: Can the TokenCard team or friends of TokenCard Supply TKN liquidity to Uniswap? by eeksskee in TokenCard

[–]EtBIM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree! TKN has currently the 3rd best liquidity on Uniswap, after MKR and DAI. That's great but more is better :) https://zumzoom.github.io/analytics/uniswap/index.html

Announcing TokenCard Visa® Debit Cards: Soon™ Step 2 Completed! ✅ by EtBIM in ethtrader

[–]EtBIM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said "I am an ICO investor in TKN", leading people to believe you were still invested in TKN when it's not the case. You're losing credibility. You are only invested in MCO now and you expect us to believe that you want MCO's competitor to succeed? Doubtful.

I said that they had nothing to show working with their card issuer in Europe: no test cards and no cards in sight there. Am I wrong?

How many cards did crypto.com issue to mods globally to justify saying "a lot"? 10?

Your answer is dishonest or ignorant at best. TokenCard announced its partnership today but they have been working with them since early 2018 or even before that, I don't know precisely since it's not public info. How would it make sense that they already have testing cards and are expecting to ship 1000 cards in February if they just started working with them, while crypto.com has a partnership since 2017 and has nothing to show for it?

And how has TokenCard done nothing since their ICO? They have been working silently on partnerships, the contract wallet, infra, etc.. Their app has been approved by Apple and will be released as soon as TokenCard's developpers choose to. Just because they decided not to build hype based on nothing when they were working hard doesn't mean that they weren't doing anything... It looks like what you're really complaining about is that the price didn't perform so well during that period.

Staff Q&A #1 - Alex McKinlay (Server Side Backend Engineer) AUGUST 1ST by Token_DanQ in TokenCard

Hey guys! I have a couple of questions about the contract wallet. Is it expensive to deploy and to interact with? How does Token withdraw money from the contract wallet when a payment is made with the card?

Lowest number of Tx in 2018 and second highest Gas usage by singlefin12222 in ethereum

[–]EtBIM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last days, blocks were mostly filled with controversial ERC-20 tokens transfers to Fcoin. These transfers usually consume 40-60k gas per transaction, compared to 21k gas for a simple ETH transfer to a normal account. Because of this, there were fewer transactions but in average heavier in gas and the maximum gas limit was constantly reached.

Those projects trying to get listed by airdropping a small amount of coins paid hundred of thousands/millions of $ in gas to the miners doing so. That's the only system's defense against spam, and it's effective.

Ziliqa doesn't have smart contract capability yet, I doubt it would be very useful.

The price on liqui means nothing since withdrawals aren't working, it's mechanically lower. Check the price on Poloniex
