Greetings from #TeamTitanium!
Welcome to the first publication of TBIS Weekly. TBISW is a blog style community update that will be published every Friday via https://steemit.com/@tbis . We’ll base TBISW on community responses collected via form below. Each week five community questions, thoughts, and/or ideas will be covered.
Submit questions: https://goo.gl/bX4F11
Responses will come from Michael Stollaire (CEO), Richard Silver (COO), Martha Breed (CCO), Daniel Berezki (CTO), and/or members of Titanium's Marketing/Development teams. Other updates, information, and fun surprises may also be included in TBISW. Consider TBIS Weekly your passport to all things Titanium.
HitBTC
Per email sent early Thursday Morning, HitBTC has confirmed that they will distribute TBAR token directly to eligible wallets on their platform. For those who are eligible and waiting on HitBTC TBAR distribution, no further action is required.
TBIS had already sent TBAR to HitBTC by the time of our announcement early Thursday afternoon. Due to this last minute development, Titanium will not initiate previously planned/announced independent TBAR distribution. PLEASE NOTE All TBAR distribution questions must be directed to HitBTC support: https://goo.gl/ow6MGu
EtherDelta
We are pleased to announce that we have completed EtherDelta distribution. All eligible BAR token holders have received TBAR. If TBAR is not showing up in your MEW, please add the smart contract information below:
TBAR Contract Address - 0xee8bd1502c3e9f6c543781467c01592ac51cfbb8
Name - TBAR (Titanium BAR)
Decimals - 18
Hiring has picked up speed with several new frontend, backend, and blockchain engineers joining our team over the past week. Positions are still being filled.
Coin Market Cap (CMC) has officially, and finally, listed TBAR! While CMC is a valuable tool, CoinMarketCap.com tends to update slowly. We like Coinlib.io’s market summaries, exchange rate comparison tools, and real time updates. Check it out here: https://coinlib.io/coin/TBAR/Titanium+BAR
TBIS products are already on their way!
TBAR will be used for products and services within Titanium’s closed ecosystem. DEXchange development is ongoing with our Element App slated for on time private alpha release. For a timeline of Titanium’s product development stages check TBIS.io/roadmap. This is a brand new version highlighting specifics not included in our March 1st roadmap update.
Q: Are you still planning to deploy masternodes?
A: Yes, Masternodes are planned for our Mainnet. We anticipate offering a tiered masternode system. These details will be made available further into our custom blockchain development; Our Masternodes will depend on both of those. We can confirm that 10,000 TBAR will be the cost of one of our Masternode tiers.
Richard Silver, COO.
Q: It seems as if other top companies such as Microsoft already have a blockchain solution, what keeps Titanium ahead of the pack?
A: Just tacking blockchain onto an existing centralized solution doesn't solve the problem. Yes, by using a blockchain, their systems will probably be more secure, but they still have the problem of centralized data and services. We're building a decentralized solution from the ground up. Blockchain is the foundation of our system, but the decentralized nature of our services is what sets us apart.
Daniel Bereczki, CTO.
Q: How do you plan to market your services to centralized businesses that have not dealt with any blockchain companies before?
A: Clichè as this may sound, the answer here is one that sales professionals know well. We will need to speak the language of what matters most to our customers. Things like downtime, cost, ease of use. By demonstrating how our decentralized infrastructure is faster, smarter, and stronger than available market comparisons, Titanium products will do a lot of talking on their own. To this end, when discussing matters like these, it doesn’t always come down to how products function, just that they outperform any alternatives. Using cars as an example, you don’t need to be a mechanic to know that some are better engineered, faster, and/or safer than others. Similarly, you won’t need to be a Blockchain engineer to recognize the benefits of Titanium Branded products. We can provide potential large clients early access to our services, and allow for our products to speak for themselves.
Bryan Levi, Marketing Lead.
Q: How long will it take for Titanium to make an announcement for a major company to be on board?
A: How much time do I have to reply, as I’m stalling for a very good reason...
Michael Stollaire, CEO.
Q: When will the cameras be functioning in the new office?
A: The cameras are almost ready to go and we would like to have them functional over the next month. Right now we are working on how we would like to structure the live stream. For example, we may decide to host it through our website and require a login, however this has not been decided yet. Please stay tuned to our announcements channel on Telegram (https://t.me/tbisinc) as we will prioritize updates there first.
Martha Breed, CCO.
