@fing3rblist3r5 Forgive me for my ignorance, but what is cloud mining in your definition? we might have different thoughts on that topic. I just want to know. :D
-
I am referring to the community cloud that is talked about on the roadmap. I'm not sure I mentioned cloud mining.
-
@fing3rblist3r5 the "Community Cloud" is a project by @crowetic
-
@fing3rblist3r5 forgive me again, but what is the cloud thing that you're talking about, they're talking about? I don't know all of the developments that's not released yet. I'm focusing on real-world application ideas.

Ah right sorry. That question wasn't meant specifically for you. I apologise.

I quoted your statement re: devs talking about what's hot etc

Burst suffers from the very thing that crypto is constantly discussing. Decentralization. There are a lot of projects that are being created independently by folks in the community. So, I wouldn't focus on what one person says. Or, what a single websites promotes. From what I've read on here and in PM's, 2017 is going to be the year for Burst.
The take away here is the community strong and we are actively moving this coin forward. Just like Bitcoin, it took the community to move it forward. It wasn't an awesome feature or a promise to solve the CO2 levels of the world. It was the bitcoin community that moved it forward.
What I really would like to see is a wiki for Burst. I think that would solve a lot of questions people have. I think someone mentioned it on the forum that they are working on it. But I forget where the thread is. :s
-
@socalguy The wiki is a great idea. I would be glad to help building it.

@Gadrah_ Count me in also to help with the Wiki.

@socalguy @Gadrah_ @iKnow0 Here's the the thread, also @newsense2004 could be available for that: http://forums.burst-team.us:4567/topic/1917/402/131, it will be great :):)

I have yet to hear back. Still waiting on the DB.

@fing3rblist3r5 The "Community Cloud" is a project that is in development and it will have a lot of cool features in it... Only @crowetic could give an estimation of time until release, but i can say that i have been testing the cloud and it is super fast, and when i say this i mean that has at least the double of speed than you get from a google cloud!
But the aim is for it to be de-centralized and for it to have multiple services too (like chat, e-mail, voice channels and calls), all of this encrypted and decentralized, and that is something pretty hard and inovative in the Decentralize World!
It is a really cool project that is going on there and i'm pretty sure @crowetic will have news for it soon enough... xD

@BURSTguy said in Growth drivers:
A few other thoughts:
- The fact BURST was the first (I see it mentioned again and again) with smart contracts does nothing for growth in 2017, 2018, etc right? It's more a point of interest no?
I totally agree with you... it's a good stuff to being said but don't contribute much for convincing anyone to use it xD
More efforts could be made in Advertising for sure... If there is someone with advertising skills around maybe could give a hand on this xD- Just my opinion, but I think people really overrate the Marketplace and Asset Exchange. I think they're cool little features. But the thinking those aspects will drive people to BURST (new users) is REVERSE thinking. Again...people need to get into BURST FIRST then those things will be discovered. The Marketplace and Asset Exchange aren't unique enough in themselves to drive people to BURST.
I don't agree with you in this, specialy regarding the Asset Exchange... I think it has to be made better and it will in time, but there are some pretty good deals in the AE, and i could say you that if i had 40k€ to invest i could be living great from dividends in my country without a problem... In here i would need more than 1 million euros to be able to achieve the same deadlines. That is a really sweet difference isn't it?
I look at AE as a form of turning a coin into an economy, because you are creating a way of someone could open a company... Assets could be different things, could be just a lottery, or could be a company , or could be just a simple deal... The owner make the concept and sometimes concepts are relly hard to explain so things could get a little messy to explain but if you have a doubt just ask and someone will reply pretty fast i'm sure xP- Regarding the Marketplace...the notion that it's going to replace ebay is akin to me putting up a basketball hoop at my house, buying a ball and thinking I'm going to replace LeBron James. No offense to anyone, but there is little to no chance of that happening imo.
I really liked your analogy LOL Of course it will not replace eBay from one day to another, but a lot of things in the wallet UI have to be redesigned yes. In my opinion the question is not if will replace it, the question is when will replace it xD But the numbers of buys in the marketplace is pretty low mainly because of two things: The fact that there is not many things on the market, and the fact that it's still hard to make a buy for someone that just saw the product and want to buy, to make it that person has to do too damn steps to buy the product. But i know someone is working on this matter, just don't remember who...
When this 2 issues are solved allied with a good marketing campain could be great for the coin and could jump start the Marketplace...- The Asset Exchange - I think needs to be broken down and explained simpler. Again for the mainstream people. I admit I haven't read extensively about it...but the mechanics of how dividends generated needs to be broken down in a simple way. And it just seems ripe for fraud and rip off. When someone guarantees I would get the equivalent of 30 - 50% APR I can't tell you how many red flags that sets off in me. So I've stayed away...again perhaps I haven't read/studied enough about it though.
Sorry for the loooooong post...
Usually the assets have one or more posts in the forum, you have to check the post to understand how the asset works. But i admit that the things could be more well explained and a lot of progresses are being made lately by Asset Issuers building sites and Documentation so things could be more explained in detail.
I advise you to read and understand how assets work before you get in. You should only invest with confidence!

I've seen that there are many views on the possible growth drivers... But I think that for a further development the currancy has to be used!
Maybe starting using like ingame-money ? We got plenty of mobile games with their own currency...
It would be cool to make a mobile game or different games with the same currency: Burstcoin.

I completely agree re:community.
Seems to be a thriving one here which is a very positive sign.
It's rare to see a dedicated forum so active.
