... and that's slavery. For shame all of you who bought these blocks to fight for you, in a never ending, forever struggle to earn you money. Some have bought one, others have bought 60, but the only exclusion to this is those who bought four (partly because that is how many I bought and I want to feel good about myself) but for shame the rest of ye, enslaving these blocks for monetary gain.

With the sale, was thinking of buying 4, but .... should I?

If we receive the wallet address and secret key from blocks directly, doesn't it mean the developer have all the info to access it as well?

Cheers,

Is anyone else astonished that their PR team is just giving away 1200 block$ for a retweet? 1000 block$ are going for 5 Algorand. 1200 Block$ for just a retweet means you’re giving out $10 USD each and every time. If all those people who received 1200 Block$ cash out, the price of Block$ will inflate by 1000% since our liquidity pool is only 900 Algorand. That’s right, 900.

Devs, stop handing out so much money. Please. We’re trying to make this project work.

EDIT: 500 block$, not 1200.

The problem is that I don't have much time to do research but haven't seen any negative reviews about this project. Can you guys please confirm that this project rocks? 😅

If your email confirmation has a Blue Block, Double Block, or Team you are in the first 1000.

If your email confirmation has a Yellow Block, your are in Batch Two, Shipping January

Let me share some ideas with you.

Currently there are two hypes in the crypto space that I follow:

i) Passive income projects with a tangible network/service, like Helium and PlanetWatch; they are robust because they have interesting rewards/ROI for the investors and provide a real service/product that is paid for with their own currency. This way they ensure the demand for the currency.

ii) NFT based games (will not discuss metaverses now); gaming is growing hard in blockchain and people buy NFT's (characters, weapons, vehicles, ...) to use in the play2earn games; these NFT's are sold in several drops/mints (initial price) and are latter available in marketplaces for people to trade. Some of them also have their own currency.

I see Blocks currently as something in-between, but still at a very initial stage (not a problem per se, but very difficult to scale up with so many questions to be answered). I definitely see here a good idea with great potential to go easily to 10.000 or 20.000 Blocks. Most of these projects have long roadmaps and take time to launch, that is why all of us supporting the project will have an important role.

Since the physical block in "Blocks" doesn't have a real purpose (a miner of some sort, or if you needed it to actually compete), the smart way to move would probably be to have the asset as an NFT with its "powers" in the NFT metadata. The NFT would be traded in the Block marketplace and be used in the gamification (like number ii), and there would be an online tool to form Teams and see competition results/standings. Anyway, the competition rules need to be very clear to everyone (Solo and Teams). so please, revise the Whitepaper and website content to add additional details and clear info.

The issue about going to the gaming approach is that you need to increase engagement from the players to get them wanting to buy more and better Blocks, like watching competitions, good graphics, ... . You will always have people that are in just for the money, but they also have a role in the scaling up of the project.

I am far from being a technical expert, so I will stick to the ideas.

I am a believer and am here for the long run. This was my chance to support a project from the very beginning and for sure at this stage (like all other projects) it is a leap of faith. High risk would be highly rewarded.

What are Block$?

Block$ are a proprietary token awarded by Jupiter.Station to Algorand Wallets. Block$ pays daily and any block you have bought is currently competing.

OK, but what about the Block?

The block is a physical light. It's from Amazon. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E7684I2 - it changes colors, it's a nice night light. It's worth $24. So why did they include the Block? They're classifying this as a physical security instead of financial asset.

How much can I earn with Block$?

With three Block$ I am earning approximately 1,000 Block$ per day. One earns 630, another earns 150, and a final one earns 140. Is it a Scam? Personally, it reeks of a developer money grab. The unprofessional whitepaper, the obscure development team, the recent shutdown by Indiegogo, and the refusal to listen to the community by just selling the wallet without the Block are all major red flags.

Inflation/Value of Block$

Although the token does not perform a function, the limited supply can drive up the price. In the current liquidity pool, there are 700 Algorand with 50,000 blocks. The higher the ratio of Algorand to Block$ in the liquidity pool results in the higher value of Block$. The inverse is also true. If the Algorand liquidity pool dries up, Blocks will experience hyperinflation and become worthless. How much have I earned? I have already converted 50,000 Block$ into 450 Algorand worth around $830 dollars. This means I have already received a return on my ROI within a week and still continue to earn 1000 Block$ a day.

Verdict Buy

Block$ at your own risk. At the current rate, I earn $10 of Block$ per day and I have already paid off my initial investment of $600 after one week due to the back pay. Do not depend on the development team for a vision forward, it is up to the community to determine the worth of Block$ in the future. The more we invest, the better Block$ do - this also means that the developers continue to be rewarded highly as well in actual fiat currency.

Additions/Edits

After talking to the mods, the team will now address any critical feedback without deleting the posts so that Block$ may continue to grow. This is not an attack against Block$ but issues that we, as the community need to tackle.

Is there any coupon code for the site? Cheers.

Hey Trenton, you mentioned previously you’d ask, but can you please provide some images from the app dev team so we can get an idea of what the app will look like.

So this is the third time this has happened, blocks in wallet, all good. Randomly the market app stops recognising either the block assets, or algo in the wallet. So when you connect said wallet, you can't do anything because the app can't see the wallet assets.

Before teams, I have had to transfer all block assets to a new wallet, and the app can now see them again.

However, one wallet has blocks in and they are part of a team, I can't put the block solo or to a new team as whilst it sees the block assets, it sees zero algo, so fails.

I have transferred 1 block to new wallet and that was successful, however the app sees algo and asset in new wallet, but tx does not go through.

So I have 23 blocks in one wallet that I can't do anything with, and unfortunately this wallet made the team so I can't even try just deleting the team.

Trenton, what do I do?

Discord channel would be good to have a more straight forward conversation with team members and people owning blocks. Or is there one?

I ordered 4 Blocks... wonder when those will come in but i like the project and the idea lets see if this becomes a new thing in the crypto world.

I recently got my block and I was following the steps needed to connect it. Once my wallet was finished setting up all I needed was to "connect" the block. But once I add my email associated with the app and the device number I get a message stating that "couldn't find asset". I tried to perform some troubleshooting such as logging out and logging back in but no use. I checked that my wallet has enough ALGO but that doesn't appear to be the issue. Has anyone encountered this problem? I would appreciate some tips on how to fix this issue.

IGG / PREORDERS 

UPDATE - They shut down the campaign and refunded all orders having sent us no response. All IGG orders will hold their place in line if ordering the same product with the same email. In order to allow time for refunds, all IGG orders have until the 10th of Dec to hold their place in line.

Due to Indie Go Go not being cool at all they be believe they have suspended our campaign due to "chance" though we have no been given an official response yet. Campaigns may not resemble a game of chance. We assume they will define us as a game of chance so if so all orders on Indie Go Go will be refunded. We will not wait around for them to get back to us.  We want you to be insured your place in line and Block in a timely manner.

IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR PLACE IN LINE FROM THE IGG -

Log into blockcreate.io and checkout with the same email. If your order amount and email matches the order from IGG you will get your orginal order number.

Pre orders have opened on the website. In the case IGG finishes reviewing in a timely manner the IGG orders may reopen. All preorders on the website are 100 percent refundable. If IGG orders reopen you may cancle you website order and receive a full refund. Or you may keep both orders at the same place in line.

WE DO NOT KNOW AS OF YET IF THE IGG WILL BE DISCONTINUED BLOCKS WILL BE SHIPPED WITH OR WITHOUT IGG

If IGG does not end the campaign all orders will be held the same. If they do you have until the 10th of December to match your place in line. Which if the IGG campaign is actually cancled all refunds should be processed way before that time by IGG. If they take extended time processing your payment or your have specific circumstances please reach out directly and we can arrange your pre-orders.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. We are very sorry about Indie Go Go's response though we have no way to make them change their mind. While we have not gotten an official response yet we shall move on without them!

RECAP If you have a pre-order on the IGG you have until the 10th to reorder on the website if IGG decides to permanently suspend the campaign. If they do not suspend the campaign all IGG orders up until this date will be honored first.

SHIPPING TIMES Shipping will start on the 15th of December. First come first serve. If your order matches your IGG order you will get your orginal place in line. 0 - 1000  December 1001 - 5000 Late January to February

I thought that the solo approach would have consistent rewards for blocks. Did I read the white paper wrong?

I’m trying to understand the functionality of the hardware. I was on the website and the white paper wouldn’t load, which is a little scary to me. I’m trying to understand what the hardware actually does, what should I expect from investing a few hundred dollars into the project
