[ANN]🔵🔵 OYSTER 🔵🔵 Anonymous Storage Generates Revenue for Websites

[Mystic90]

Very interesting twist!  Came here to join the Airdrop at first but the more I learn about your project, the more tempted I am to invest!  It uses the ETH blockchain to store user data.  The smart contract, also launched on the ETH blockchain, uses Cpu AND Gpu both way simultaneously! That is only one of many innovations integrated in a very promising project!  Keep me posted

Actually it uses IOTA to store user data.  Users provide computer resources to do proof of work operations and commit data to the tangle and ethereum is involved in pearl generation based on this resource usage to pay website owners.

We need more Youtube vids with easy explanations for future users to understand. Vids that are not too techy

Their website does a good job of breaking it down if you don't want to read the whitepaper.  I would like to see more diagrams outlining the overall architecture.  Reiteration via video would be great for people who prefer to learn that way and every new form of exposure is good. This project will more likely succeed if more people learn about it -  not just investors but website owners.

Ive read the whitepaper, although my attention span is quite small. I think video's are more easy accessible for people to watch.
Any data shown in diagrams is also good, visual aids!

When will the ICO start? This looks like a very interesting project!

[MissedBTCtrain]

Starts on 21 October. Minimum investment is 0.001 ETH, but I hope u can do more

why in the bloody hell can't we copy the ethereu, adress to see the etherscan progress of this? badly designed website

I just went to check it, quite weird. If anyone types over the address post the eth scan link pls

A small question for all,
As I am, most of us here for the airdrop on the first. Anyway when I got involved to Oyster it becomes more then an airdrop.
But also ı would like to have an airdrop. So I gave my poloniex account to oyster. Will I get my PRL to poloniex or polo does not support it. No matter what I am happy to know Oyster

Thanks for notifying about this, the bug only recently starting happening, I fixed it.

Did you send ETH to the smart contract from your poloniex account? Don't do that, the page clearly says to not send ETH from an exchange. PRL are sent back automatically to the address that sent the PRL, so you must send ETH from an ERC20 compliant wallet.

I see in the source code there looks to be code in progress for a web interface which lets a user upload files using the Oyster protocol.

This makes me curious.  If we use the Oyster protocol to store our own files, rather than as part of a website visit, will we generate and collect pearls?

How is the contribution of the ICO proceeding? Is it meeting the expectations? This thread is not very crowded.

Slow but there is a trickle coming in here and there.  If it doesn't pick up some of you are going to get some great deals as we are sitting at 37.8 Ether worth 11,630$.

I expect a majority of the investment might come later as Oyster did not have a long word of mouth period prior to ICO.  We need to get out there outside, like reddit for example, and let people know is going on while continuing to work here.  These developers need support and even funding them for half a year to a year could lead to a successful release considering where they are at now.  Don't want to rush things..

this is an interesting token but has to get a lot more attention from the public. the sig campaign might just get a helping hand in the matter

[Geekphazm]

Only 1 ether raised? I can't believe my eyes, lol.   

[Clover69]

to write a great post does not skam about this project, you need to be a professional in this matter, so I'll write only this is an interesting project.

[illiki23]

Only 1 ether raised? I can't believe my eyes, lol.  

We are at 41.457 Ether worth 12,665$.  A lot of people wait for a while unless the coin offers really good early invest bonuses which Oyster don't.  We got a little surge in the beginning followed by the current trickle and depending on marketing/exposure and interest may increase a little or surge in the end.  We have two weeks to go.  I would like to see a little more dev presence online via more blog posts (its been a couple weeks) and social network interaction given that the ICO is a very important phase of a project's lifecycle.

Are you a member of the Oyster Team? What is the softcap for the ICO? It's a very slow start and Im wondering what happens to Oyster if not enough money is raised

Why so poor progress in crowdsale

1) More has been raised via side sales. The overall amount is slow compared to hyped up ICOs, mostly because we focus on substance of the project and not photoshoots in our whitepaper like chronologic.
2) He's not a part of the core team, he just joined the bounty campaign. However in that sense anyone can become a part of Oyster.
3) There is no numerical soft cap. This is because all the money has already been spent (and will be spent) on marketing. A worst case scenario for Oyster is that the first 3 stages of development could be programmed with 1-2 people instead of 3-5 full time employees, so one way or another the network will go live which will cause the price of PRL to calibrate to the price of storage (1 PRL = 1 GB/ 1 YR).
4) We have lots of promotional deals lined up that are yet to be executed, and I am currently working on getting Oyster listed on a major well known exchange and several new Chinese based ones. News about this coming soon. There is usually still air and silence before the stampede.

Yes, just an investor and part time bounty hunter who gets a little too excited about things.  I won't join a campaign unless I like the idea and there is real development backing it though.

Mystic90, You can get the ICO totals by downloading the spreadsheet from etherscan and totalling the columns. 

I am glad the devs are willing to stick through the worse case scenario to get the project on its feet.  Getting listed on exchanges would be great.

These are the main reasons why I have invested in the purchase of PRL tokens to support the Oyster project:

As a journalist and editor of a website I understand the difficulty of harmonizing the financing needs of a media through advertising with the desire of readers to eliminate intrusive and increasingly aggressive advertising. The proliferation of adblockers shows what the demands of the readers are. But without a sustainable source of income, the information will suffer a reduction in quality. The Oyster Protocol can unlocks this confrontation between advertisers and ad blockers, providing an alternative solution. So, the Oyster Protocol allows websites to generate traffic revenue as visitors perform Proof of Work for a data decentralized storage ledger.

In addition, the Oyster Protocol uses tangle technology as a decentralized mechanism to host the data. This technology that is being developed by IOTA will lead the future of online transactions.
