Reminder: careful using testnet and wallets etc - someone WILL lose money because they get confused, send real coins to the wrong place only use if you know what you are doing :smiley:
----
I propose that we as a community voluntarily white hat any major names like Google -/ hopefully if the real Google wants to use it the community member will give it to them at cost — but that’s optional of course
----
There isn’t any way to pre-reserve or verify names
----
But we can cooperate to register good ones
----
No first dibs :smiley:

White hats racing against squatters

Testnet will give people a chance to see what has been built and will also allow more contributors to easily contribute and do security testing because the code is published and everyone can be on the same page
Testnet also allows 2nd and third layer developers to see how the protocol works and build and test apps
Since the network was built first with ravencoin we already have a massive head start when mainnet is launched (versus if the network genesis and the asset layer were launched together)
This means that since racencoin already has tons of users, community members and interested parties the usability of the asset layer capabilities increases
There are a lot of us in the community who can test and build on this protocol
So - when mainnet launches :rocket: there will be a lot of people ready to jumpstart that network and build on it
I predict a lot of asset names reserved right away (it will be like domain registration races / land grab)
When mainnet is launched people will be able to immediately create real assets which will be verified by the ravencoin blockchain

We had mini raven sculptures hidden all around the Satoshi Roundtable

Ravencoin as a real open source & fair launched project will never have the captive marketing budget of an ICO — but those projects will never have the tech depth or scalability that the Ravencoin protocol has.

Icos as we know them will not be as big as securities tokens

The dlr is a different thing - it’s a specific tool to help crypto interface with existing wall st touting systems
Aside from this Tzero is also an exchange which will trade security tokens
==11 July 2018 - Discord 2 ==
Just one solid exchange would be very relevant
----
Rvn took a path more like BTC or ltc
----
I think an exchange will happen
----
There actually is a lot of raven marketing - it’s all pretty much done by volunteer community members bits be trippin etc
----
I think Tzero hasn’t announced exactly how they will make listing decisions — there will be lots of factors
