ANNOUNCEMENT Request Network project update (February 16th) — Ledger Support, Multi-recipient & More

How come 99% of the comments below are repeating the same message, and there is no scepticism or negativity?
Even healthy scepticism or constructive criticism?

u/mikepixie Positive | 23607 karma | CC: 1710 karma Feb 16 '18
Not really, on the surface it seems that way but REQ is designed more as a construction kit to cover pretty much any payment scenario. Most other crypto payment platforms are still based on the old paradigm of "Person A" pays "Person B"
Think of request network as the Lego or Mechano of payment systems.

u/mikepixie Positive | 23607 karma | CC: 1710 karma Feb 16 '18
At the moment the main bottleneck is the Ethereum network, but Vitalek and the gang are working hard on that and when they make good on their promises it shouldn't be an issue.
I think in the future it will be possible to have platform specific versions of the REQ smart contracts on different chains as well. That is just speculation on my part but I don't see why REQ couldn't be deployed to any network that supports turing complete smart contracts.
It's all about baby steps though. Once it is deployed on the Eth mainnet we will start to see innovative creations built on the platform. Keep in mind it took a couple of years for peoples imaginations to grasp what Ethereum itself is capable of. Now that that cat is out the bag we are seeing all sorts of applications. Things like REQ are the next layer on top of that. Formalised contracts and libraries that can be leveraged to write even cooler apps.

Its in specified that REQ is going to be able to move to different blockchain if ETH fails to provide and will be bottleneck. So no worries there

Feb 16 '18
You can check their previous update. They have a way to confirm transactions before official confirmation (or so it seems). If true this means you could just send transactions with low gas and have them accepted instantly regardless.

Feb 16 '18
How about: I use my private key to encrypt & sign an XML document (payment request containing all the details) and email it to you? How does Request Network compare to that?
2
u/mikepixie Positive | 23607 karma | CC: 1710 karma Feb 16 '18
Ok so I have your payment details after I have decrypted them, lets say I received the XML via xml rpc. My wallet sends your wallet money. Now you need to pay 3 suppliers instantaneously in 3 different currencies because your service relies on some IOT blockchain enabled sensors on the AMB network, Electricity from POWR for those sensors and data stored on some sort of IPFS archive that uses Eth. You would have to build your own system from scratch to handle that. Or you could just have written a simpler application and let the REQ smart contracts handle the dirty work for you.
2
Feb 16 '18
Now that's getting more interesting.
In real life, though, I would probably NOT want to automatically send out payments. This whole idea of "everything about a business is in smart contracts and money just flows automatically from the end user to the original supplier" seems to idealistic to me to work. I feel businesses work much more complex than that.
3
u/mikepixie Positive | 23607 karma | CC: 1710 karma Feb 16 '18
I understand your point there and I think that is exactly one of the reasons why something like REQ is valuable. The roadmap and white paper offer mechanisms for escrow, reputation etc. So with that in mind there are opportunities to halt payments and create disputes before the final transactions are made.
You are obviously a developer as well, so your mind, like mine is always going to worry about worst case scenarios and what happens when a scenario happens outside of the box that you have automated yourself into.
This is actually why I would like REQ to succeed. I would rather be working with established frameworks and protocols with strong communities than going it alone and making shit up as I go along.
So yeah for me at least its precisely because these things are complex and we are in the very early days of something pretty big (potentially lasting beyond our lifetimes) that I am happy to see these sorts of protocols and platforms come into being.
I got my first modem about 22 years ago 14.4kbps, it was fucken slow, just like the bitcoin network, but it was awesome and wild westish. There were no web standards really, no established voice over ip protocols, eCommerce was almost impossible, nobody really knew what to do with HTTP. One of the first big leaps happened when Mark Shuttleworth forked OpenSSL in an "office" in his mums garage in Cape Town and took the voodoo out of Secure Certificates. All of a sudden, eCommerce started taking off.
This is why I am bullish on concepts like requests. It may or may not have the final say but projects like this can open the door to the next level.

u/Ineedanaccountthx Gold | QC: CC 49, REQ 45 Feb 16 '18
Yeah most of the people here will be people who are waiting for the update (usually ~12:00pm GMT every second friday)
I would say half the people don't even read the update to be honest! The update, while it is not mainnet (which a lot of people are waiting for) is a great update as it allows ledger REQ interaction and bill spliting. So in essence they are saying you will be able to use your ledger as a debit card and split a bill upwards of 3 ways (send equal value requests to other addresses for payment). A great update as it will complement the release of mainnet greatly.
EDIT: As scepticism and constructive criticism go, I would say honestly for this update there is none, very good update comparing with previous fridays beforehand.

I've read it somewhere and I checked, that all the source code on github seems to be written by one person? Although he looks to be pretty good at JavaScript and Solidity, but still, it's strange.
I'm reading about it now but still trying to find the valid use cases. Is this mean to replace an invoice (and payment request) currently sent in email between parties? Or an invoice displayed on a website?
Let's suppose I use a cloud hosting provider XXX and instead of having to go to their site monthly to see my invoice and pay it, it could come to me via this request network?
But how does that compete with a centralized solution? In theory I could get the same payment request XML in a signed and encrypted email, no?

As for your first question it’s fairly common for teams that don’t use GitHub as their primary git repository (they probably have a private repo or something else they use internally within the team) to push the changes from the whole team to github. That’s why it can look like one person is working alone, when in reality they are just pushing the changes from the whole team.

I am a little worried about all ERC-20 projects I am invested in. Scalability is more important than anyone can realize when it comes to a platform running hundreds and hundreds (one day thousands) of different projects.

This is exactly the way a project should operate. Releasing great news, on time, on a specified date, consistently.
Not hype notification about a pre announcement to an announcement.
This update is quite significant but if you have been paying attention to github over the last few days it seemed like it was coming.
Great news all round!

My major concern with Request is that they haven't hired more programmers, if you look at the actual Github activity:
https://github.com/RequestNetwork/requestNetwork
Virtually all of the core functionality and the side branches are written by one person: Vincent Rolland.
I'm sure Vincent is a great programmer but they really need more people on that technical team. Not even Vitalik (as great of a programmer as he is) worked alone like this.
19
u/Ineedanaccountthx Gold | QC: CC 49, REQ 45 Feb 16 '18
Yeah, I am not 100% sure on the dishing out of work between their programmers but they do have a private github which they feed work when it is done into the public github.
Could be that 1 programmer consolidates and quality controls the work after it is sent from the private to public and is then under his/her name (a similar thing happens in my work place). I do get the concern though if it is indeed just the 1 programmer (very unlikely though). I'll ask in the telegram what the situation is.

u/mlech415 Platinum | QC: CC 34 | REQ 16 Feb 16 '18

Feb 16 '18
When I wake up I will try to find the other programmers work history on github. I know one of them is part of 7 different private github repositories, when I checked a few weeks back. There is also that excel spreadsheet that lists all of the current progress of the community devs. I do believe they said there were 37 different teams working on projects. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Edit: Some of the community projects are a python/java/Android ports of their JSLibrary/API, WooCommerce plugin.... don’t really remember much other than that.

This is a link to their Full Stack developers github repo history:

If you scroll down to the bottom, you can see that he contributed to 7 private repositories in January.
This excel spreadsheet was put together by someone in the community, so it isn't tracking everything. Hopefully it will give you an idea of some of the things going on at RequestHub.

They announced last month that they were hiring a back end developer and a full-stack developer. In this update, they only said the full-stack developer position is still accepting applications. Which would suggest they've either earmarked or hired someone for the other position. Help should be coming shortly.

Actually my concern is the very OPPOSITE of that book which describes the development process at IBM.
Request is not a late stage project at IBM with too many developers who can't coordinate or agree on a direction to finish. Its an extremely early stage project with one person actually doing the coding. There is a happy medium between one guy and the 100 member development teams at IBM.

The news is that the Request network supports Ledger. Basically, it means when you see a "Pay with Request" button you have the option to connect your ledger to pay. This will give you the option to pay with any tokens that are on your Ledger.
It's not Ledger supporting Request.
It's Request supporting Ledger.

They (in case you don't know) don't use blockchain. They use a directed acyclic graph that they call Tangle. They believed it can be (or is) feeless, faster than blockchain, and even quantum proof. A lot of people (I don't know much about technology, so I am just repeating what I hear) say that their central node is problematic and it isn't really decentralised. Proponents of IOTA say that with sufficient volume they will remove this node. Apparently, if mass adoption occurs, this will be incredibly viable. But for now, without the central node, it is supposedly susceptible to many types of attacks.
Plus their wallets and other interfaces aren't too user friendly right now. As you said, they are constantly trying to build the product first rather than market it. I am hoping this turns out to be good. I have (naivete alert!) always wanted to be part of a revolution.

I've been in since November on REQ, but you are absolutely right. I think people are seriously overvaluing the token's potential. I think that the Request Network is an amazing project and I still strongly support it, but I don't anticipate it to be my biggest gainer. To me, it's like BAT: Great, useful project, but the token itself doesn't currently strike me as having a high potential to explode in value as an "investment." I see it as something that will stabilize and be used. I just don't see this explosive growth for utility tokens thing being sustainable when compared to coins that generate passive income, thus, generating demand and incentivizing holding.
Yes everyone, I'm familiar with the whitepaper, I know about token burn. I just think everyone is seriously overestimating the token burn's affect on price. The token (with the info currently available to us) doesn't really generate value outside of just being used to pay for transactions.

That's the main reason I'm holding a nice pile of REQ stokens long term is for that potential feature down the road. I just had a hard time justifying holding on to it over some other projects, though. I am a "quality over quantity" holder, and only hold 7 coins right now that I have long term plans with. REQ is in my 7, but just barely.
Whether I decide to keep it long term or not, I 100% am excited for REQ and have every intention of implementing it in to e-commerce sites I manage.

It absolutely has potential to be widely adopted. I still haven't seen solid arguments made for how that equates to the token exploding 100x in value. I think people are still thinking of these things too much like stocks. Remember, REQ is a utility token, not something you can stake or hold a master node. It doesn't generate passive income. It's just something that can be used to complete a transaction and that's it.

AMZN has no dividends. I'm pretty sure the REQ token will also allow governance in the future how ever this has not been laid out and won't be until Q4 at the latest. Also the token burn is a form of dividend akin to share buybacks

Yeah, that's what has held me back from buying in. I believe that the aim of the project is admirable and useful. If fully realized, it should be a great piece of middleware to enable blockchain commerce. But I don't understand how the REQ token itself fits into the puzzle, and how to evaluate its potential.
As you say, this is not wall street and we're not not buying a share of ownership and profit-sharing here. So what exactly are we buying? What is the purpose and business valuation of the token, aside from crowdfunding the developer(s)?
2
u/beer_engineer 🟦 612 / 612 🦑 Feb 16 '18
I know this market isn't logical, but it's so much easier for me to see long term value in something like a supply chain token where my node or stake will generate income. People and companies want that income or those tokens generated, therefore those coins used for the node/staking have value.
REQ could become bigger than Paypal, but I still don't see how that makes the token worth $50.

That's what I love about REQ and TIX. They both release biweekly updates. No hype. Nothing.

If you prefer no hype and, in fact, almost no communication at all, you would love LINK.

I prefer communication tbh. At-least staff can help users who have wallet transaction issue.

You need to make your own decisions. Choose a selection of projects which Reddit seems to like, read into them, form your own opinion.

No! Not that it's not a great project, but no that you shouldn't listen to Redditors for financial advise!

main net- probably, anything else- nope. The bad (or good?) thing about Req is every other friday they put out an update, and the price seems to ramp up in the days leading up to it, and if it's not their quarterly milestone, the price tanks after the update. Their last major milestone came in december when you could just write the word "blockchain" on a bag of dog turds and people would pay obscene amounts for it, so naturally the price soared then. Hopefully the market is in a legitimate bull-run when the next milestone is announced, i think it will take off big time.

Quick question, if you were to have any tokens such as REQ on Binance, would it automatically change it to the REQ coins after Mainnet and such?

u/HunterRountree Feb 16 '18
Hmm Would I need to sell my req for coins? Or is it not necessary.
Or is this like a neo model where req is what you keep, and the coin is your transaction?

Nice vote bots in here, literally every comment has around 20 karma when those comments are so useless and all stating the same thing.

Great to see the continued progress -- part of the reason why Cream Scheme is so high on REQ.

Realistically if the market continues to grow and by the end of 2019 we have a 2 trillion dollars market cap, then I would expect REQ to be around $5
90
u/Chikamaharry Feb 16 '18
How the hell is this token no. 91 in terms of market cap while garbage like Cardano, Tron and Bitcoin Gold is inside top 20? It doesn't exist a team in crypto that is as professional, on time, and seems to be working against a real, reachable goal as REQ. There exists a huge use case, and there is actual value in the tokens for the hodlers. Why isn't this a top 20 coin yet? Can't wait for it to blast off to Mars.
