Hard to compare the two since they do different things. Wanchain wants to do cross-chain transfers of assets. If successful they'll make bank.

Upsides: The team is most former Factom (very successful) and experienced. Ian Balina has gone all in on this one. Could be very profitable in the long run if executed correctly.

Downsides: Strict KYC, competitive space since a bunch of people are doing cross-chain transfers (Cosmos, Polkadot, etc., though admittedly none focused on finance just yet), the roadmap stretches till 2018/2019, etc. Most notably is an announcement they made via Telegram; they'll be issuing ERC20 tokens which will later be exchanged for the actual Wancoins. This means certain limitations that they summarized below:
>Transferring to another wallet you control is okay (but don't move them unless you need to for security purposes)
>Transferring/selling to someone else is not okay
>We can only guarantee the exchange of ERC20 tokens for Wancoins that come from the same purchasing address
>Edge cases may pop up and we will review on a case by case basis
>ERC20 will be exchangeable for Wancoins in approximately 2-3 months when the mainnet goes live.
>Towards the end of the year after you exchange your ERC20 for a Wancoin there will be no trading restrictions.

So I'm still unsure how to handle Wanchain. Might go in, might not. The thought of having to wait a few months gives me pause.

Hai Hai~

I am indeed Dunois in the /biz/ cord server. Feel free to message me on there and I will respond accordingly.

>in other news, the main dev is now a strategic advisor to the guys building Autonio: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2138049.0
>its a separate ICO for an AI Trading Bot with Automated Token Distribution (via SlipStream), as well as an algorithm design and testing platform with ratings and trading of said algorithms. Initial hardcap of $10 million (I think).
>both ecosystems are supposed to interact in the future
>also, the guys who made Autonio's nifty website have begun working on MBRS' new website

....and I think that about wraps most of it up. If it wasn't for all the ICOs going on (Enigma, Blackmoon, Kyber, Decentraland again, more later), I'd be buying up more MBRS for the long-term. We're still a month out or so from the MVP (minimum viable product) and limited beta. The spring should see the transition to their own blockchain, version 1.0 release for various platforms (Windows, iOS, Android, etc). I didn't expect super fast gains from this and I'm still holding of my MBRS.

As for short term gains (which most people want, especially since everyone wants another 0x-style 10x ASAP), I've heard that some people did indeed flip MBRS while it was hot. However, a lot of expectations were tied up with a Bittrex listing. That was on track but then the SEC came in and put all the exchanges on notice (you may have noticed that Bittrex hasn't added anyone in quite awhile and others have been slow). So now I think I must say that we'll be holding on for awhile, barring any new sudden news that sets off a frenzy.

I hold some BTC, but I'm thinking of either putting it into new platforms/protocols or just ETH. With Metropolis coming out relatively soon (next month I think?), it should see a nice bump.

>>3382099
It's on track, isn't it?

>>3288376
I'll leave that to your imagination, anon~

>>3288405
>>3288433
I think I already found and messaged you anon-san! If not, then my mistake. Anyways, you can find me in the discords mentioned here >>3285427 and use the picture from this post >>3283894 as my profile pic.

And best of luck to you as well with Blackmoon!~

*Hai hai!~*

To those who contributed to the address I gave away yesterday, you *should* be getting your LINK once the crowdsale ends! So just sit tight and wait!~

Those who got in after the 300 ETH limit though, I think you'll be getting refunds I think.

*Hai hai!~*

Here you go anon-san: https://discord.gg/zM5zE6

>>3141286
Oh, I'm here and there. Not really committed to any single one though. It grants me more flexibility.
By default though, you can find me on the /biz/ discord. You'll know me when you see me:

>>3141479
Now now anon-kun~ You can't possible expect me to share *all* my secrets, can you? Especially when I'm still researching them.
I can tell you this though: everyone should be fundraising between now and Sept 7th to prepare for all the ICOs that are coming.

I'm thinking of holding an "ICO Festival" sometime near the end of August/start of September, where all I dive into all of the upcoming big ICOs.

>>3141909
You're welcome!

Long-term hold of a blockchain platform with limited supply and big ambitions. If you want to know more, see my original explanation (>>3096113) and/or go to their website and read up.

Hai hai!

>>3130018
As I've said before (>>3079421) anon, there are plenty of use cases and a good reason for such. And as >>3130065 points out, I'm buying in also because its a blockchain platform. We'll get new services, partnerships, and announcements from here to year's end.

>>3130078
The devs have said that they're aiming for listings on Bittrex, Cryptopia and Liqui after the ICO ends.

>>3130418
It's in planning. See my next post.

>>3096545
As >>3096558 said, Etherdelta.

A week ago, I would have said that MBRS kinda stays between $0.03 and $0.05, so to wait until it drops down. But now that this exchange news is out? We're in uncharted territory and people are (or are going to be) buying like crazy. So you might have to make your own decision.

>>3096565
Alright anon-san, let me lay it out for you:
>buy MBRS
>wait for the distribution date (the precise time is usually mentioned in the Telegram)
>wait awhile, keep on checking on the Telegram every few hours
>eventually, the main dev will drop the details for the new token, which can look something like this:
Token Contract Address: 0x386467F1f3ddbE832448650418311a479EECFC57
Symbol: MBRS
Decimals: 0

Ehehehe... I enjoy Mordecai's videos. They make my day~

And yes, I also think that the Meme Factory idea on district0x is underestimated. I mean, if people were selling Rare Pepes on Craigslist...
>https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/craigslist-rare-pepe/

and also used Rare Pepes as currency in Venezuela...
>http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/23/venezuelan-currency-slowly-getting-replaced-by-pepe-memes/

*and* also created... this...
>https://www.kekdaq.com/
>Traded on Bittrex under MEME, the KEKDAQ is a decentralized meme creation/exchange layer on top of the Pepecoin(MEME) blockchain. Proof of stake X11, first proof of stake blockchain with a decentralized exchange protocol on top.

...then a meme exchange isn't just an idea. It might actually make some money. I'm quite curious to see where it will go!

>>3076440
Well, I'm in it for the long-haul anon! So I can't really say something about you, given your own time horizons.

However, and this is just an observation, not investment advice: this *is* trading at below 5 cents for a platform project (which I see going over $1 in the future, like other platforms) that *might* be listed on Bittrex (Fortune willing!). Doesn't that remind you of another project I backed? Say... DNT?

Just an observation, not actual advice!

>>3053204
Actually, there is something OP!

MBRS is having its 2nd token distribution on the 15th. You should load up now while you can!

>>3030826
Say, OP-kun.

Given that 0x Protocol is ICOing (and possibly distributing) in 3 days or so, wouldn't it make sense to use it in order to build a decentralized exchange?
