I'm hoping that the criticisms I heard regarding Arise on a post to @stan are false (namely that Arise's signups and systems aren't working properly, indicating a possibly poorly tested implementation or worse, a scam). Watching the CEO's mannerisms, my gut tells me not to trust him. The sale price of the ICO coins are $1.40 each.
I'll wait for them to hit the secondary market and see where this goes. I hope it all works out positively because I'm a big booster for BTS and want their partnerships to work out well.
On that note, it is not clear how the BTS/Arise partnership will work. I also haven't been able to find what type of coin you would be getting to start with. Is it a BTS smartcoin? Ethereium EC20? A native coin on a native blockchain? If native, what are the deets on the nodes/decentralization of the blockchain?
Oh, sorry I watched that interview already but must have missed that they will have their own blockchain. Would love the time signature on the video if he does offer details on that.
Thanks for the balanced input , BTS will bring a huge amount to Arise bank. I've been in talks with Arise today and they have lot of things ready to go. The ICO will enable them to do them all.
Here's to hoping it all comes to fruition. I'll be watching. Cheers!
