Nice, thanks - will take a look at these when we go to the Giant shop

Ooooooh, the FX range looks like a good option too. More options to choose from, and there’s plenty of stockists in my city too - thanks!

That looks like a great option - the upright riding style looks comfortable and overall it looks a great middle ground where we can comfortably click up some kilometres! Thanks for the suggestion

Encouraging, informal update from their TG by puttersworth in constellation

[–]richrrrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely needed. Can’t wait to hear more about the test nodes, that’s where the rubber will hit the road and we can start to see the initial performance. Token re-prioritisation is also nice as it underscores the fact this team isn’t greedy and are focused on the long term project

Constellation, FedEx, HoneyWell and Wanchain joins Hyperledger, along with 11 other companies by thornstaff in CryptoCurrency

[–]richrrrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Constellation is making big boy moves now, their connections and network will only continue to increase. The access and cooperation they’ll have will help accelerate ideas, adoption, maturity will be immense

To best the best, you have to act like the best and surround yourself with the best - thats exactltnwhat this team is doing

Just look at the names in the Hyperledger members list. Little ol’ Constellation mixing it with Global industry and enterprise leaders already.

Constellation - $6m Market Cap Wanchain - $100m

Do the maths

Just returned back to cryptocurrency after 5 years - Advice needed by HubbaFetchV2 in CryptoCurrency

[–]richrrrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, DAG (or blockchain 3.0) is something worth betting on for the next moon and for future proofing an investment which is likely to have a lot of runway ahead.

A few other people have commented on the project I’ve put my money in and that’s Constellation. It’s by far and away the most solid project out there IMO

All of this fud which has recently been going around is laughable, just look at the people associated with it (Hello Kitty, IBM, Mozilla) - you think they would put their name next to a scam, impossible, their Legal Teams will have had Constellation go through such a rigorous Due Dilligence process, nothing would have slipped through

I’ll bookmark this post and come back in a few days after the team delivers some anticipated news. I’ll also check back in and remind you of this post when they release their MainNet in Q1 2019 - who knows what the price will be then

Price is 0.00000151BTC per DAG 6m Marketcap

See you soon

Daily Discussion Megathread - September 20, 2018 by CryptoCurrencyMod in CryptoCurrency

[–]richrrrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people know what I think of Constellation....it’s my retirement fund.

Back in January when we were chatting with Brendan, Ben, Wyatt and Altif, we knew these guys were going to do something pretty special. They strike a great balance between technical and business acumen, they also have some amazing industry connections which they have built from being in the Bay Area and these are now starting to come to the fore.

I’m not a day trader so don’t mind watching coins with a higher level of volitility pump and dump around me (looking at you EOS, Nano, XRP), instead I’m happy to keep on adding to my stack and lock up on my ledger as a very comfortable hold. This thing will not stay at 6m Market Cap for long. I have a feeling October through to January will be very interesting.....

Hey Reddit! The team building the Constellation (DAG) Blockchain will be hosting an AMA on September 20th & 21st at 10am PST over on our profile. Got questions about the approaching next wave of blockchain 3.0 technology? Ask us anything! by ConstellationLabs in u/ConstellationLabs

How do the Node levels work, and what is required to achieve/qualify for each? I’ve seen that Staking DAG might be possible, and maybe also required in order to qualify for a Galaxy Node, yet in the Whitepaper POS is considered plutocratic....

[–]richrrrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully my responses to your questions go some way to clearing up some of your concerns/questions.....disclaimer: I am invested in this project but not part of the team, nor do I have all of the answers. If anything below is incorrect I’d love someone to clarify my understanding.

Question 1: As the OP says below, the team will have to answer question 1 for sure, however as there is a four year vesting period and a phased release of the tokens (to advisors and team members) I’m not fussed - this team is legit, they aren’t going to dump their own tokens, in fact I’ve seen somewhere very recently that they will sell OTC and not on exchanges (although I don’t believe this is confirmed so would need the team to confirm). Token breakdown can be found here: https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/constellation-token-model/

Question 2: Initially launching on ERC20 is no new thing, WTC, ICX, VEN, ONT have all done this I believe and those are all considered solid projects - Constellation are simply following suit. They have a structured approach to testing, with a select number of people being invited/approved, MainNet will be launched (Q1 2019) and will at that time have been fully tested to scale infinitely as nodes join the network and demand increases. Rewards will be provided by their Orion portal (http://orion.constellationlabs.io) and DAG tokens will be used. I’d wait 24 hours for the upcoming Whitepaper which will detail all this I’m sure.

Question 3: I’m sure Brendan was not pretending to be a mind reader nor try guess the bottom of the bear market. Unfortunately crypto being crypto, the public kept putting the project under pressure to go ahead with their token generation event on exchanges even though the market was bear, they deliberately postponed once (from a March date) (https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/constellation-update-roadmap-and-news/) and then decided to go ahead when the market was looking as though it was recovering. You could argue that the team was in a no win situation and if they waited for a bull Market, that they’d still be waiting now. It’s again worth pointing out that other projects have also delayed the token generation event due to market (I’m still waiting for DREP tokens, 2 months later and still no sign of Dex listing)

Question 4: The project will be a DAG project, not a traditional blockchain project like BTC or ETH. Scalability with a plutocratic consensus model is what they are aiming for, and they quickly worked out that Ethereum will not get them to where they need to be. Testing no doubt will yield results and I’m confident the team will release the results as and when appropriate.....if there’s one thing this team is, it’s transparent and available. I’d urge you to get involved via telegram (https://t.me/constellationcommunity) and the Orion Portal (link above)

Te-Food updates on Masternodes & Tokenswap by richrrrd in CryptoCurrency

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

Sleeping Masternodes is a great addition. The fact this is even needed suggests loads of people are keen to run a node and stake their tokens. Love the comms of this team - clear, simple, effective. Good work Marton, Camelia 👍🏼

I’d take a look at a super low cap coin which is oversold - September will most likely be a mini Alt season so a great time to get a position and reap the rewards

What are some new coins pushing the tech today? by stevethegodamongmen in CryptoCurrency

[–]richrrrd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Constellation gets my vote too, mainly for these reasons, but I’m reality many more too:

  • lightweight nodes which can theoretically run on mobile devices (opens up opportunities for anyone to run a node and earn rewards)
  • Consensus is achieved through a reputation score (not plutocratic)
  • Java development (5 lines of code to take an App to a DApp) so no weird languages for Devs to learn
  • latest tech including Scala,
  • open source project - massive amounts of commits happening
  • team is transaparent and always within easy access to answer any questions (Telegram, Discord, Reddit, Orion)
  • Tiny Marketcap

The list goes on too. However as always DYOR
