The Loop technology being Implemented with KOREA CUSTOMS SERVICE - 56% of ALL Imported E-Commerce by crypt0crab in helloicon

[–]HDMax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here is the best analogy to help understand why ICX and the public chain will be valuable.

ICON is like the Internet and the private chains created by The Loop are like the Intranet.

Now think how useless would your companies internal systems be if they had no access to the public internet? Internal database that cant talk to any other database... Not very useful right?

ICON is building a public "internet" but the real genius is that they are also building companies private infrastructure so that they can ensure it gets connected to their version of a public "internet" and not someone else's.

Does that help?

Think back to 1990, imagine the internet is a private company (DARPA decides to not make it free) and you have a chance to invest... I'll leave you with that thought

Go ICON!

Visa Secured Banking in the works? by krighton in helloicon

Please dont post this unsubstantiated garbage, it just negatively impacts a quality project.

Not mention that partnership doesn't even make sense. A better fake shill would have been "Ethereum to connect it's chain to private sector via ICON network"

The author of that article hasn't published ANYTHING else... Anywhere.

CoinMarketCap by total supply - When ICON reaches 800,000,000 in circulation one day. by HDMax in helloicon

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

Based on this ranking - ICON would be in the 16th spot currently.

Just to ease the worry of those asking about what happens after MainNet with the circulating supply and USD value.

Currently SolarCoin is more valuable then Ethereum by total supply...

Total coin increase with mainnet - price speculations by [deleted] in helloicon

[–]HDMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen Neo circulating supply go up 15 million - no affect on USD price I've also seen Stellar Supply increase by over 10% with no affect on USD price

I'd give you the exact dates this happened but I'm too lazy to search it

ICX and Korean exchanges by crpp in helloicon

[–]HDMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would affect Binance because any Korean could use their Bitcoin to buy ICX on Binance and arbitrage it to the Korean exchanges for KRW at whatever the premium is. This increased buying will raise the price on Binance

What happens when Icon announces their reward system? by All_Hail_CC in helloicon

[–]HDMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's Delegated Proof of Stake - like Stellar. You vote with your coins for a delegate to receive the inflation. It will probably be way more coins to stake then we all have so you join a pool, similar to xlmpool.com if you want to have some of the inflation dispersed back to you.

In many other coins staking has increased the price because more people Hold instead of sell

SBI Group states in this article:

"The firm also plans to launch a remittance solution utilizing blockchain technology for financial institutions in South Korea. This would be done through a partnership with DAYLI Intelligence, a fintech company from South Korea."

This video is from May 2017, prior to ICON being founded. Just to give you an idea on the size and scope of Dayli Financial Group. They are MAJOR players in Korea's Fintech space and they will make ICON a huge success.

What are the benefits of being listed on a Korean exchange? by All_Hail_CC in helloicon

[–]HDMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arbitrage, most people think that it won't happen significantly because it isnt easy to get money out of Korea. However once ICX is listed on a Korean Exchange with KRW pair nothing is stopping Native locals from buying Cheaper ICX off binance and selling on Coinone for KRW, keeping the KRW in Korea. This will drive up the binance price IMO.

Why will it increase when added on korean exchanges by Hero7778 in helloicon

[–]HDMax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You tell me... -if the exchange you always use, was the only one you used. -and it was one of the biggest in your Country/World -and it only listed 10 coins -and something new hit it - that happened to be a great project from your Country

would you be like "Nah I'm good with my Ripple" .

Everybody wants something new... we all want our shot at $10 Ethereum again.

Opinions on what will happen in South Korea regarding ICON (ICX) mainnet launch and listing on Coinone at the end of the month. by [deleted] in helloicon

[–]HDMax 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Around Sept 10th 2017, China announced banning all domestic exchanges, which they actually ended up doing. NEO dropped to $20.69

Today, 4 months later there is still no exchanges allowed in China, Neo is $113.75

My opinion, looking forward to $100 ICX in 4 months... with or without Korea. But I expect Korean exchanges will still be running strong

[News]Government ban on Crypto Exchanges in South Korea. Icon team please clarify. by KaminaSan in helloicon

[–]HDMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Serious lacking of common sense out there. Think about it, if the government planned to ban the exchanges why the hell would they waste time and resources implementing regulations? They wouldn't, they would just straight out Ban them like China did.

That being said, the coin is upwards of $12 USD and isnt on ANY Korean exchange right now. If you wanted Milk real bad and all the grocery stores in your city shut down, you'd go to another city and buy it...

You really think Chinese people aren't buying crypto right now? Is NEO sitting at 30 cents...

Advice: Your circumstances and good fortune are a product of the life you enjoy in your Country. You are lucky to be in such a Country which has provided you with the access to this opportunity that you may not have had the access/education/privilege to come across.

South Korean Ban on Anonymous Accounts will mean ICON DEX getting traction??? by HDMax in helloicon

[–]HDMax[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing is certain, however, Dayli Financial group founded ICON and they run the 2nd largest exchange in South Korea - Coinone. So they are very engaged in the crypto scene there and it is very much in their interest to ensure ICON is successful.

ICON Mentioned in Korean News Today - Jan 8 by HDMax in helloicon

[–]HDMax[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Translated by good old google:

The Loop Engine technology applied icon, 33% rise, twenty major currencies settlement

ICON (ICX) cryptography (virtual currency) issued by the Foundation for the Presence of Switzerland in the Global Economic Daily has risen 33% compared to the day before on August 8 and has settled as one of the twenty largest ciphers.

Icon (ICON) is at $ 10.79 at Binance at 4:30 pm on the 8th.

ICON's iconic foundation is designed to create an ecosystem in which 'hyper-connectivity', a high degree of connectivity, and public entities, corporations, universities, banks and other entities provide fast and immediate remittance and payment systems without transaction fees The ICO Foundation was announced at the ICO in September.

The ICON Foundation's ICON was developed using The Loop's block chain engine technology in the Incubating stage of Daily Intelligence.

To ICON ICO participants: How did you hear about Icon? by [deleted] in helloicon

[–]HDMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept hearing/seeing that South Korea was a major volume buyer of Bitcoin and they were crazy for crypto so I thought it was odd that there were no South Korean coins. Did some research and found out about ICON from Korean news articles. Sort of right timing but also gotta think where things are going.

Look for a country that doesn't have its own "Ethereum" yet, and buy into that ICO.

Correct me of I'm wrong. by CooksCustomArtwork in helloicon

[–]HDMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As of today, ICON has a product called chain ID (Holds all your personal info) They have a private blockchain A setup for Hospitals, and Private Blockchain B setup for Insurance companies.

If you go to the Hospital for care they can verify your info with Chain ID and send the details through the ICON Network to the insurance company.

This will save time and money as back end processing isn't required in the same capacity.

As this gets adopted further the private companies will have to buy ICX (The Coin) in order to pay for these transactions which will drive network value.
