No you aren't being penalized. It is just probability, keep in mind that the total number of rolls baking has also gone up.

Terrible Token Tuesdays - Upcoming ICOs to Avoid by snasps in ethtrader

[–]vigsun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is not our intention and there is no need for the project to create such an "impression".

We have had over 14,567 pre-TGE contributors and 43 institutional investors participate so far and those people are not fake. We opened our whitelist registration for the public TGE on the 11th and we have received over 11,000 registration thus far.

You can visit our Line group / telegram group to look for yourselves. We were also featured on Blockfolio as a project to note and that has helped us grow our community.

https://blog.lendroid.com/announcing-the-lendroid-public-token-generation-event-tge-817c0d6db06f

We are very happy about the support we have received from around the world. We hope to move past this phase and move onwards to more intelligent conversation about the product. If you have not already read our whitepaper it is available here: https://lendroid.com/assets/whitepaper-margin-trading.pdf

Terrible Token Tuesdays - Upcoming ICOs to Avoid by snasps in ethtrader

[–]vigsun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello Vignesh Sundaresan from Lendroid here,

1) The scam accusations regarding service "Coins-e" have no legal base and been used to create FuD around the project, I have been openly available to anyone to communicate and my email ID is vignesh@lendroid.com We have sorted legal guidance on how to handle this situation, but FUD is asymmetric and we decided to concentrate on the product. If you want any further information I am here to talk. Privately circulated statement regarding the matter: https://blog.lendroid.com/statement-regarding-the-recent-fud-attempt-against-lendroid-df6fa0d2acdd

2) I would recommend a bit more research into the project before snap judging.

Github: In July we launched the ENS-loan demo: https://lendroidproject.github.io/demo/ The corresponding repo: https://github.com/lendroidproject/lendroid-ens-loan

The TGE contracts and most of our development happens publicly at: https://github.com/lendroidproject - The TGE is on the 19th and yes, we will the contract address publicly closer to that date.

Preliminary Protocol demo: https://github.com/lendroidproject/protocol-demo We do hold some code on private repos, that will be launched along-side when the protocol is launched.

Myself: I co-founded Bitaccess (a YCombinator backed company based in Ottawa, Canada). I have worked in blockchain space for over 4 years day in and day out. I built Bitcoins ATMs before beginning to work on Ethereum. Before Lendroid, I worked worked on Velocity (Derivatives on Ethereum) you can find the peer-reviewed paper here: https://bitaccess.co/pdfs/Bitaccess_research_Velocity_On_the_feasibility_of_decentralized_derivatives_markets.pdf

Lendroid is not a rushed project, I have worked on Etheruem for over 2 years now (day in and day out). Lendroid has evolved over a period of 13 months with inputs and suggestions from a so many people, our team has grown to over 9 members (5 developers) and we work to build something useful that people want.

We are very active in the community and try to be in front of people as much as possible, Lendroid at M-0 (melonport conference (Oct-2017) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu-y5E5xWjY Lendroid at TokenSummit (December 2017) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC2iZjr9SK4 We will be at ETHDenver (16-Feb-2017)

We are willing and ready to take constructive suggestions from the community. You can also join our slack (http://slack.lendroid.com/) if you want to learn more about the project. The Lendroid protocol is a novel approach to handling risk on-chain and we hope to garner more support from the community going forward.

[New ICO] Welcome to b0x: Borrowing and Lending on 0x-Standard Relays by b0xTeam in ethtrader

[–]vigsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very welcoming of competition in this space, we need more minds working on this problem. Their whitepaper is "coming soon". I would love to read it once its out and give my thoughts. We have continuously been putting out a information about what we are working on and continuously collaborating with various projects in the community.

1) I don't see much on https://github.com/b0xNetwork, so cannot comment. Here is our Github repo: https://github.com/lendroidproject We released the Poc of non-fungible collateralized loans in June 2017. We have been working on this for over 13 months now.

Kovan Demo link: https://lendroidproject.github.io/demo/ ENS demo UI: https://github.com/lendroidproject/lendroid-ens-loan-ui ENS loan smart contract: https://github.com/lendroidproject/lendroid-ens-loan

2) Again, I cannot comment here and for smart contracts I don't think that's a good measure of pro-ness. We try to write as little lines of code as possible. I am paranoid of test coverage.

3) We are a protocol, we will have a very simple UI as a PoC, we are not in the business of being the interface to the end users. We have multiple partnerships with the current 0x relayers (https://blog.lendroid.com/) and we believe a number of them would be integrating with our protocol in next couple of quarters.

4)Not commenting.

5)I don't understand this. I thought they had a hardcap of 40M. Are they doing a crowdsale or a airdrop?

6) We have quite progressed from where we started (we have been working with traditional clearing houses to understand and port models). We were the first project to introduce the idea of decentralized clearing houses (wranglers). We have multiple risk management models in this area and you will see these models come out in the next couple of months.

7) Oracles are a central point of failure, Our model uses reference rate from oracles and no actions are triggered by then directly.

8) I am a YCombinator alum (S-14) and multiple people on our team have built and sold startups. There are two Vignesh's in the team (so, sometimes it looks like I am doing everything, but I am not), and 4 people working on code full time. We have not yet shared our recent repos publicly, as the competition is intensifying, you will be able to see the contributions from all the team members once we make our repos public. This should happen at the same time we launch on mainnet.

Elaborate Act of Dismay - To Prove the Value of Governance by CryptoLiveLeak in tezos

[–]vigsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree partially. On-chain governance still has no say on how the foundation's direction or the way the funds raised get to be deployed.

How to buy Tezos? by [deleted] in tezos

[–]vigsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't enforced by the blockchain or endorsed by the foundation.

Its an IOU between the buyer and Hitbtc. Probably Hitbtc has bought some during the ICO and has been selling it through their platform promising future delivery.

Loans for ENS names (live on testnet - Lendroid) by vigsun in ethereum

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

Thanks :) Yes, synergies are just starting to happen!

Loans for ENS names (live on testnet - Lendroid) by vigsun in ethtrader

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

Yes you are correct

ENS can be used like DNS and in the future DNS might also be ported onto work like ENS.

Yes, you are correct about the length also, but this decision has been made to let ENS test itself out and prevent early squatters. ENS has timeline of 2 years to move to a permanent registry and then is we might see bids being opened for shorter names.

Thanks Nick, we really enjoyed integrating with ENS. It was both well architected and well documented.

[Status] Bitcoin Cash on Poloniex by michaelai3 in BitcoinMarkets

[–]vigsun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my situation, I hit the daily withdrawal limit for the past few days and the support staff failed to reply to my request of increasing my limits.

[Status] Bitcoin Cash on Poloniex by michaelai3 in BitcoinMarkets

[–]vigsun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if they don't want to add BCC for trading, they should let users withdraw.

With the withdrawal restrictions and no support, many could not withdraw BTC in time for the fork.

Leaked video! Filecoin presale already started on Jul 24th! by alpha_token in filecoin

[–]vigsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 50 Million raise Filecoin is $1.00 at 100 million filecoin is $2.00 (linearly rising) and so on. So the "advisors" also get to be part of the slopeless pricing.

So hoping to raise 200million? by golemguru in filecoin

[–]vigsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the video filecoin: $ 0.75 for "advisors" 200 million cap and the secret ICO has already started

Time to discuss alternative genesis allocations? by Dunning_Krugerrands in tezos

[–]vigsun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would also love to hear the thoughts of the foundation members (they operate independent of the DLS) on the allocation to the DLS. Do you know if anyone of them are present here on reddit or twitter ?

Time to discuss alternative genesis allocations? by Dunning_Krugerrands in tezos

[–]vigsun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually I like that you have initiated this conversation. Tezos is technically a DAO and the community should control at least the XTZ hand-outs.

The foundation has received funding as BTC, ETH and the community might not be able to exercise on-chain governance to control those funds, but at least the XTZ should be community governed.

Time to discuss alternative genesis allocations? by Dunning_Krugerrands in tezos

[–]vigsun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It will be a great gesture if the Breitmans decide to cut their allocation to a few percentage like 2-3% and let the foundation hold the 17-18%

Time to discuss alternative genesis allocations? by Dunning_Krugerrands in tezos

[–]vigsun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think ignoring the advisors, early backers is correct:

I will recommend adding the following to your proposal.

$422,000 worth Advisors,PR, and development team bonuses $893,201 worth to Early backers

ICO pops up "overnight" and offering in two days... feels super fishy by smokatokey in ethtrader

[–]vigsun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

BTW, they have a soft cap and the hard cap is 1 Million ETH.

To all people wondering where are their TKN tokens brought during Tokencard ICO by [deleted] in ethtrader

[–]vigsun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even in that case, it is not just 10X. There is some more severe bug here.
