Exchange Listings

As many of you know, Alan and Annika took a trip on Tuesday to Jersey, UK, where the Aventus foundation is set up to meet with the regulators there. The trip was a great success and the founders were both very happy with the progress. The Aventus Protocol Foundation is now in a position to execute agreements, which means that we can soon (within a week) progress the exchange listing process. However, this does not necessarily mean that we will be listed within the week, as it is at the discretion of the respective exchanges regarding the timing of the listings. But all we can say is that everything legally from our side will be complete by the end of next week.

New Team Member! Meet Nick, aka Cloudpost, our Community Moderator

We are thrilled to have a new community moderator join us. Nick has worked with Aventus’s communities previously and he is a great asset to our team.

Can you first introduce yourself please, tell us a bit about you? Maybe a fun fact we wouldn’t expect?

I’m Nick, I was born and grew up in Moscow. I’m a psychologist and I’m 31. A fun fact is that I have been married for almost 12 years now and have 2 sons, 11 and 4 years old.

What is it that you do at Aventus? How did you hear about the company and what made you interested in working with us?

I joined Aventus as a bounty manager on bitcointalk.org forum to advertise/promote their token sale. I really like the idea behind Aventus, I think it’s brilliant. That’s why I started helping Aventus’s project and became more involved over time.

Tell us a bit about your prior work experience — what were you doing before joining us part-time? What do you do other than your work here at Aventus?

Right now I’m a full-time crypto investor and miner. In the past I worked as a primary school teacher and tutor for over 5 years.

When did you first hear and start learning about blockchain? What is the most interesting thing about it to you?

I learned about bitcoin in spring 2013, when I started to read the bitcointalk forum. I decided to try mining and got 2 small hashbooster nano asic miners in November’13 and built my first GPU mining rig in December. I turned off my GPU rigs and left crypto for few years and decided to return back again last spring.

What do you hope to achieve at Aventus? What are you particularly excited to work on?

I always have a lot of ideas; I hope some of them might get implemented. I also like to talk/communicate with smart people (also read their opinions) — I learn a lot from them. Additionally, I just like to help people.

How can the community get more involved with what you are doing at Aventus?

I think there is huge potential for the community to get involved, but mainly after the Aventus protocol release: many Aventus supporters have connections to real even organizers/sport teams/artists and can help to establish partnerships and help accelerate blockchain’s adoption into real world usages. At the moment our main goal as community members and supporters of Aventus should be to spread the word about the project.

Why do you think Aventus is relevant for society, and specifically for ticketing?

Live music/theatre/sport events are very important to every person, they inspire and motivate us to set new goals in our lives, sometimes they even trigger insights and of course bring a lot of fun and positive emotions. I hope Aventus’s project will help to keep the ticket price low and affordable to big masses. Another very important aspect is that the project will help to redirect revenue from touts to event organizers and the artists/sportsmen.

Cryptokitties

This week’s YouTube video will be about the Crptokitties. You may be asking yourselves: How is this relevant to Aventus?! Well there is more to the kitties than just some cute cats. The craze has highlighted a few issues with Ethereum, especially regarding scaling, which Alan and Annika will be addressing. Be sure to watch it tomorrow on our YouTube channel!

How to go about raising a cryptocurrency funding round

How a company funded with cryptocurrency engages with employees and suppliers who might prefer to receive payments in a traditional currency
