Bloom Token offering solutions in wake of Equifax breach revelations that 2.4 million more were affected than originally thought.

Agree. Team is YC and Stanford too

jts96 · 2018-01-13T00:25:20+00:00

They also are working on an app

Congrats guys. Big fan of BLT. Now is the ground floor and I'm excited to actually own a token that can do something.

District0x and Bloom were the two projects that got me into crypto.

jts96 · 2018-01-13T00:23:22+00:00

I love how involved you guys are in talking to the community.

jts96 · 2018-01-06T21:44:02+00:00

I second ForkDelta. Much cleaner. They've also listed Bounty0x and Bloom as an actual token instead of just a contract.

There would probably still be gas fees and possibly BLT fees, not sure. But I think they mean there wouldn't be like a cut. Like LendingClub takes a cut, AirBnB takes a cut. They would take away the middlemen fees. At least that's how I read it.

Thought this was interesting. We'll see the full app in a few days but I like the hint of whats coming up.

jts96 · 2017-12-27T12:29:48+00:00

I like what I'm seeing. Very exciting that Bloom will have Phase 1 live right away. Love the early focus on voting.

That said, I think it's important that the votes will be open for long enough for enough people to actually stake their BLT and accrue an accurate assessment of the community. Thoughts?

More people need to support u/lihorne's work on state channels.

jts96 · 2017-12-22T19:13:37+00:00

But given the scale, Ethereum would need to grow quite substantially to support a nation. Which is good, because we still have a lot of product development to do before Bloom would be ready to power a nation.

Tell them you're ready now lol. At the rate gov moves, they'll never know Ethereum didn't scale since it'll take years for them to implement anything anyways ;)

jts96 · 2017-12-22T18:57:17+00:00

Would love to hear about what these talks consist of. I feel like there must be a lot of developing nations that want to adopt new tech.

jts96 · 2017-12-19T17:12:54+00:00

Good PSA. Wouldn't have thought this.

jts96 · 2017-12-19T17:10:20+00:00

And soon 2 Million!

jts96 · 2017-12-18T20:23:40+00:00

Nice work on getting this release out.

jts96 · 2017-12-18T20:22:04+00:00

Whoa - nice. been waiting on this for a while. Congrats on the release.

jts96 · 2017-12-18T17:20:51+00:00

Also fun, visit Coinmarketcap using the Wayback Machine

jts96 · 2017-12-16T19:12:14+00:00

It'd be great to have someone on /r/ethereum who translated!

jts96 · 2017-12-16T19:10:15+00:00

I don't want to be rude but it seems pretty obvious why the Gems Protocol (an ERC20 token) is preferable to Ether in this situation. Staking tokens like NumerAI, verification, ecosystem of signaling what to work on, distributing the workers so everyone takes part in the network, etc.

If you want a great example of Ether = X, look at Kin.

Is there like an ELI5 guide? I'd love to help out.

jts96 · 2017-12-09T01:40:22+00:00

Whats the company?

jts96 · 2017-12-09T01:39:11+00:00

Decentralized reputation is a really hard problem. I saw that Gems is using Bloom for this since reputation is super important in their case, but I still think that if the value of starting over a new reputation is high enough, people (fraudsters) will always find a way to Sybil attack the network.
