How dead is this project? Was 2017 the last time investors received an official update? 

Hello Lil Jay, a newer update on the direction of the project was given last year a little before the summer. None of what was said then has changed. At this point, I am simply refining the concepts in the White Papers where it comes to the Smart Money Protocol. I'm in no rush. The market is in no rush either as you can see. The Smart Money Protocol was not even conceptualized as a paper at the time, just scattered notes drawing all the way back to 2014. It has taken time.

The fuller update from 2017 still stands. Anyone who holds SoLCerts can email me for access to the Smart Money Protocol White Paper. It will be the basis of establishing this project when the timing in the market is right. We will technically be in the stable coin realm, with some unique twists. Being from the States that will take some navigation legally. Regardless I am more focused on making sure other aspects of the Protocol's components are at least conceptualized rhetorically. The technology will follow.

We will take the skateboard-method approach to building. Look it up. As I said last year we wont be looking to build the protocol from scratch. All necessary component to have a first iteration are already being built by excellent open sourced projects we can simply partner with, or use the tech as a foundation to make our own unique play on it. All of those protocols are still being built as i type this. No one is finished. No one project has everything we would need, but that's where gathering the right team will come into play.

I'll say it one more time, anyone who holds SoLCerts can feel free to email me at solomon@sollars.com or solomonadekale@gmail.com for access to the White Paper and a conversation about moving forward. I stopped with the time tables. What I've learned over the years of being in this space, its about getting it right not getting it first. Hope this info helps.

I was an early investor in your project Solomon, and I am holding tokens I received from that investment. Perhaps I missed an announcement or something (you should ALSO publish it on Telegram, at least a link to forum info), but I never received any advanced notice about those tokens as it relates to your recent announcement. I presume the tokens I hold are SOLCERT tokens. Are there others?

Perhaps I'm good and no need for me to take any action right now, and those tokens will be redeemed or have a use in your plan in the future. I'm not a trader, but if the trading cutoff has made my SOLCERTS now worthless, that's a big deal.

Hey Thom,

Hope all is well. Nice to hear from you. Yes the SoLCert token is the one to hold. I just got back from Switzerland and caught a nasty bug so I've been out for a day or two. I discussed SoLCert with MME and we will have a compensation package for the token as told originally in 2016. Nothing has changed. Currently networking with individuals who can help in various executive level positions with the project.

The trading was not cut off yet due to those very concerns but it will be. When it is as stated we will send a personal message out to all SoLCert holders through the dividend function on Bitshares. Please allow me a day or two for full recovery. Hope this info helps.

it's nonsense that uses ideas worse than nubits

How is this the case? Explain?

I think we could use a comprehensive article on the Bitassets mainly focusing on BitCNY. That could be really good right now.

To Bitshares community members and SoLCert supporters this is a scene from the upcoming explainer video we have been creating in the background. It is still rough but it's one of the creative scenes we are very proud of. It took a lot of time to conceptualize how we can appeal to all Americans with the lines that I spoke. This was our way:

In light of all the marketing talk and the positive reception to its need, I am excited that this project will get a chance to actually implement a holistic marketing strategy. We will also be shooting on the RED cameras for interviews and other creative content that will be utilized this time around for our second round.

GOOD HOLISTIC MARKETING IS NEEDED. PERIOD.

And thanks to your patience and support we will be able to market this project to the larger crypto world in a way that is unique and inspiring. Touch them from the emotional aspect of humanity that technology cannot touch. Our core marketing assets are almost complete. More updates to come soon. Any questions let me know.

hi, when can we use your product? and when will the second ICO launch? Thanks

@Felix thank you for the question. We are in the final two week sprint on the MVP before we can begin privately testing the product with others. The Sollywood TV gateway product will not launch to the public until AFTER the second round of funding. It will only be used to show investors and supporters that we now have a POC/MVP to build off of and take mainstream.

We will be using further funds to connect the gateway to its own lightweight blockchain. Similar to Steem/Steemit (different economics though). This is what we will be raising money for and the gateway will be set up as its own start up to become a fiat exchange in and out of our tokens on the blockchain for normal everyday consumers. We will only be dealing with our tokens and Dollars. Anyone else will be able to build what they want on the blockchain though no different than any of these other chains.

Sollywood TV will necessarily have to become a FIAT gateway to avoid the disastrous UX of Bitcoin. We've done the research. Its a losing proposition for grandma if you want her to adopt your crypto-currency. In order to go mainstream you need the proper funding and we can do it. Second ICO can be expected to commence sometime over the summer. Right now we are currently working on the White Paper and talking to individuals who can be contracted to build our chain once we raise funds. There are several avenues that can be taken here so its all about hearing people out.

We will need to do some heavy marketing to get it out there properly. The new Bitshares price has been a Godsend. We did not even expect to have this much funds to market and build a small blockchain team. But timing is always everything. And its right on time.

Finally I have to reiterate we will not be staying in the Bitshares community for funding. I love the Bitshares community but it is clear we will need to go outside of it to properly get funding and build the right support. So I have been working relationships in other communities. They are VERY receptive to the work that has been put into this project. Any relevant announcements will be made. Any questions let me know. Thanks.

Does your platform profit BTS shareholders?
Or only Sollars holders?

You say 'this will no longer be tied to the BitShares DEX.'
Will your asset still be traded+secured by the BTS blockchain?

I would say both. In the same way that the PeerPlays UIA benefits both to some extent.

But its a little premature to have a precise conversation on how tied or not tied Sollar Bonds will be to the Bitshares DEX. I honestly don't know and its a conversation that will be had amongst top Bitshares/SoLCert holders who care about the project, understand the Entertainment opportunity and want to see it succeed in the larger market.

If you have written the project off then there is no point in following it. Its true. We suck, this project is a SCAM, there is no value in Hollywood, or Millennials. Besides there are plenty of blockchain projects that already appeal to regular consumers and have them use it everyday so why bother. Also the top blockchain projects all have multi-million dollar market caps because of millions of daily active users that are mostly young hip people and grandmas... Those market caps ARE NOT because of pure speculation AT ALL. Its REAL value...

Just trying to make Alternative Facts Great Again.  #ThisIsNotARace

It's very difficult and damn near impossible to explain anything "entertainment" related to most of this bitshares community... Just like Solly, I too have the entertainment background and Hollywood experience.. developing and producing content alone can be a pain in the ass but we do it because we are passionate about our craft and we brought that to bitshares. Only to be overlooked, ignored and have our ideas blasted or called a "scam?" Then watch other members complain about the lack of marketing, social media presence and videos... Most of you are so worried about projects being "tied to the bitshares DEX" and not realizing you have valuable assets such as Solly and myself trying to "open a gateway to Hollywood" and tie bitshares with mainstream entertainment.

The content we continue to produce and update everyone with is plenty enough to show that the Sollywood and WANGCHANGE are great projects that will eventually be rewarding token holders, very generously, if they aren't already.
Do your thing Solly...

@MrWang hang in there buddy. The Bitshares community tries its best, but resources are tight. Trying to return to our former glory is proving difficult and like you I believe we are not focused on executing the right holistic marketing plan to get us to where we need to be. Hollywood is still the biggest opportunity but most here are stuck in their ways of pure Financial products and Institutions. Its really all they know. They would rather compete in a heavily saturated and competitive financial market that is overly mature. Than one that is fresh, wide open and not even thought about at all. The mainstream.

I don't fault them for this. We all cling to what we know. Most here do not know how to engage with everyday people. Its harder than it looks... In the end I have to be somewhat grateful that many fine individuals in this community donated to the cause last year. Its because of them that there is even a Sollywood TV gateway MVP right now. For you I think its just a case of bad timing. If you and I were here in 2014... Let's see how things play out in the coming months. We may be able to get them on this Hollywood train after all
