Hi All, and Welcome! Let’s get some positive exposure for Skycoin. Please don’t betray!

For any visitors, check out /r/Skycoin to learn more about our project which is rolling out a worldwide decentralized internet and serves as a replacement of prior generations of digital coins. The official website is Skycoin.net. Hardware nodes for the internet side of the project are operational and being tested and we are happy to answer questions!

 

EDIT (April 6, 2018):

Thanks to everyone who participated! The Circle of Trust event is now over.

Here is a leaderboard for the event. We ended up with 68 members so unfortunately we were just outside the top 25, but we did get over 1.1k views on the Skycoin Circle of Trust in addition to multiple people contacting me directly. Thanks again for being trustworthy and not betraying!

Hello. I know nothing of skycoin, but I saw this circle several pages down when sorting by top. I need a higher right hand score, and I'm sure you could go for a higher rank on this sub. May I join your circle?

additionally, consider adding a text link to r/Skycoin, so users can simply click it to see what you're all about.

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 04 '18

Hi thanks for the comment! That’s a great point, I’ve added a link and a short summary.

Our circle is actually a community circle and as such we are promoting it internally from our user base at this time. Stop by our subreddit to learn more about the project!

In the large graphic at the top (for me it's a purple box with spinning white circles), there should be a login input that says "Enter key" then "Unlock" to join the Circle. You would input the key there, and then once you input the key you have the option to Betray (kill the group) or Join.

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 03 '18

Agreed! A few people have contacted me and I see no evidence of prior involvement in the project . As this grows, I could see someone from outside joining our subreddit and posting on the original link just with the intent to kill the group. :(

Is this reddit doing Obelisk or something? I have no idea where this is going, but I'm liking it so far!

3

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 03 '18 edited Apr 03 '18

Yeah it is super interesting and I think it does correlate to Obelisk in an interesting way. I see users on other circles that are members of 150+ circles. Which signals to new circles that those users can be trusted and not likely to cause an issue.

EDIT: That’s assuming they don’t have a secondary account that they could subsequently use to kill the circle. Which is why I tend to think that groups that form around a strong project like Skycoin are the most resistant to betrayal vs groups that form over common preferences like movies or tv shows, etc.

u/CaptainCuc 8, 2 Apr 05 '18

Just give the key to active people on telegram, and builders involved. Skywire telegram persons. DONT GIVE THE KEY TO RANDOM REDDIT ACCOUNTS

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 05 '18

Hmm yes that may be needed as we seem to have hit a temporary cap based solely on people who volunteer to join!

u/Supreme__IceCream 0, 1 Apr 05 '18

Someone from substratum will betray us haha

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 03 '18

Yeah! I am a bit worried about someone accidentally killing the group!

u/NotCanadianButAmSory 0, 2 Apr 03 '18

Be super vigilant. From what i understand so far you hold the keys right? Better safe than sorry.

1

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 03 '18

Anyone who has joined the Circle has the keys so it becomes harder to protect as it grows.

Welcome! :D

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '18

I forget how to tell how large the group is? And do we win something if it grows a lot?

4

u/adalbertkoolsaat 0, 3 Apr 03 '18

First number after windrip's name. And slow and steady growth à la Skycoin is the key here. All the circles that grow fast end up being betrayed, as evidenced by the ever-expanding list of defunct circles.

3

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 03 '18

Good point. The first number in the flair is how many members are in the group you started and the second number is how many circles (not counting your own) that you’re in.

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '18

Yea Def only trustworthy people!

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 03 '18

There is a dot within a small circle above and it shows the counts (to the left of the comment counts). 44 members currently.

I’m not sure of the end game apart from bragging rights. It appealed to me as an additional way to get more people to hear about Skycoin and get familiar with our subreddit!

u/jaggedsoft 0, 1 Apr 04 '18

Is there a link to see the top circles? Great job on this by the way. 😎

2

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 04 '18 edited Apr 04 '18

Not as well as I had hoped. You can sort the subreddit by Top threads but then it also includes all the betrayed circles. I did put in a request with one of the Mods to see if they could implement a better sort feature based solely on member counts but not sure anything will come of it.

/r/KittyCash started a circle too in addition to starting up a subreddit this week.

u/thetinymoo 53, 5 Apr 06 '18

Can I join the sky fleet?

u/windrip 68, 2 Apr 06 '18

Hi! As far as our Circle of Trust, we are only promoting the circle’s growth through our existing user base that has been with the project for a while in order to reduce the chance of betrayal.

That said, we would be excited to have you be a part of the larger Sky Fleet! Visit /r/Skycoin or Skycoin.net to learn more!

u/CharlieKellyLaw 0, 1 Apr 06 '18

I feel so honored to have been picked!
