Blocknet Dx will be real world's first fully trustless and decentralized working exchange. Their has not been any true decentralized exchange so far. All claims are false and somewhat are covered under some sort of centralization. Blocknet will provide first decentralized working exchange. We don't have to wait much now as everything is on track.

I am totally fine with 10% dev funding mechanism. I only hope we can increase the team size. Time is blocks worst enemy at this stage.

Without funding projects die. So long as the spending is on a ledger there is no issue with funding mechanisms of even greater than 10%

Also don't forget this project is much more than just a decentralised exchange.

The Xbridge enables microservices:

- monetised API consumption
- digital service delivery
- Zcash mixer (clone a multiwallet, integrate xbridgep2p, auto-trade for Zcash and back to any other currency. Near-perfect mixing)
- A marketplace app. You'd want the following services: (a) customer reputation and info, (b) payment processing, (c) image storage, (d) item listings. Use a microservices architecture for the reasons given above, gaining the advantages of utilising multiple blockchains. Use one chain to store encrypted customer info (see the final item on this list), use the Blocknet's XBridge to accept payments in any cryptocurrency, store images on a server, and use a third chain and in-wallet code for the item listings and UX. The result: a scalable, composable set of services that are easier to bugfix, ungrade, or replace.
- The use of any Ethereum contract by supplying "gas" in other coins
- A stablecoin that maintains its peg by exploiting the fact that trade records on a dx are on-chain (checks trade records; burns/creates or freezes/unfreezes coins to maintain a precisely equivalent money supply)
- An OAuth killer: a personal information service that records encrypted personal metadata on your chain and comes with a revocable permissioning system. Users thus acquire self-sovereignty over their personal information. From there, you can integrate to any site/app requiring sign-in, or users can voluntarily sell their metadata to advertisers for micropayments (sorry, Google Ads), or it can support passport/identity systems.

The sky is the fucking LIMIT with this coin. And the more demand these services pick up over time, the more upwards price pressure it will put on Block as it's required for the services.

I'm getting hyped just writing about it.

Recognition of one of the mechanism behind the success of other projects is different from being able to change it.

"Marketing" works because it fulfills an essential component of society -- communication -- in an "artistic" manner. It is the "coordinated" and "sculpted" effort of educating (large) amounts of people about the 1) existence, 2) relevance, and 3) desirability of a product or project. "Marketing" also carries the direct or indirect implication of 4) support for a product or project. It is the definite state of "more than one person is involved in this effort".

"Auto-Marketing" happens when the solution of -- and support behind -- a product or project is so good, that the product or project does not have to spend resources "Marketing" it. People are generally so elated to find an viable, economical solution to a problem, that they remember it, and even glow the information to other people, especially when they come upon people with the same problem that they used to have. (An example of this is greyskies last sentence, quoted above)

This is valuable, and rare. So, many (would-be) successful endeavors resort -- at least in part -- to "Marketing".

"Auto-Marketing" does not mean that the project never used Marketing. It just means that the present (and hopefully, persistent) state exists in which a project is meeting the weighty needs of individuals or groups, to the point to where the project/uct no longer has to resort to "marketing".

Marketing, whether Auto- or not, "fulfills a need".

Yes yes me too hhahaa 

Agreed with you market cap is not parameter to decide the future of any promising project. The dev team is doing hard work and testing result is also very positive so that I also think soon it will explode.

No. What I mean is, if you go to Bittrex to buy enough Block to become a node the price would be push the price up to .0015 (more or less) because there's not enough block available at the lower prices to become a node.
