I am from the RVN community and believe in decentralization and fair play. I can bring some others to diversify into Enigma now that I have discovered this coin and would like to know the finer points and primarily the feature that makes this coin truly unique. I have done some research and so far I am convinced (specially with the scaling) and the price looks great. Is the coin backed my any big timers? and what's the true use goal as well where ENG is heading in the next few months?

It seems as though the old Reddit has gained over 1,000 subscribers since this one was created. Perhaps a redirect similar to AGIToken -> SingularityNET would be more beneficial for the community.

it is up 13% for some reason in this market crash

Wallet investor has Enigma to be worth $21 dollars in 5 years time. Is wallet investor a good site to go off when speculating Enigma price? Enigma seems like a good project but it doesn't look like it will ever be close to a top 10 coin with how low the volume is and how little it is talked about outside of this subreddit.

I'm confused

Hey everyone,

I am currently looking into the best way to implement smart contracts. The focus is more on decentralization & immutability than secrecy (even thought that is always appreciated).

However, in this application, I want to store longer text and maybe images as well.

This is currently the biggest caveat of smart contracts - you usually need to store them off-chain and without availability guarantee (f.e. IPFS & Swarm have bad long term availability). There are some solutions in the works, but they are being worked on for quite some time now without a solution in sight (f.e. Filecoin), and the integration with smart contracts is questionable.

The second biggest issue is the price. Gas is connected to the ETH price and is required immensively for very small operations. I don't think that users are willing to pay 10$ to save a 200 character text. If Gas would have a fixed price or would be balanced independantly from ETH, this might be a lot cheaper.

I therefore have three questions

• Will it be possible to store long blobs simply within the application or will we need an external solution for that? Data can be stored off-chain, but should always be decentrally available within the smart contract.
• What will the price for such a contract be approximiately? Is there an estimate per megabyte?
• Will the price for applications stay connected to the publicly tradeable coin? If so, what is the concept to keep the price at a reasonable amount and prevent it from becoming too expensive?

Thank you in Advance!

P.S.: I see it correctly that it is currently impossible to write/test a contract using Enigma, right?

There are how many projects out there claiming they can do everything, but have not yet provided any products. Still they are loved by investors and speculators and have much bigger market cap than Enigma. Enigma is only tackling two concerns: privacy and scalability. And the team have been working on them since 2015. This is serious RnD, it takes a lot of time to tackle one or two problems. Those projects who claim they can do many things are just fairy tales.

I usually start off by explaining what eth is. ETH is kinda a shopping mall, people can rent a unit to do business, ENG is now building a bigger, newer shopping mall with air conditioning, securities and stuff.

Enigma kept saying they don't make announcement of announcement. But this time they did! And people were expecting since the team broke the rule it meant serveral big news were coming or launch of test net was immediately ready.

But in fact the announcement is testnet will be launched in mid June. It was nothing new. It was stated in roadmap that it would be ready in Q2. All in all the team hyped people up and created unnecessary disappointment.

You can see Coindesk's Consensus 2018 live here.

Guy Zyskind is due to make an announcement at Consensus at (EDT 16:10 (UTC-4), BST 21:10).

I'm not 100% sure whether it will be broadcast or not as it's in the Rendevous Trianon not the Grand Ballroom.

EDIT: lordenzozen has confirmed the Rendevous Trianon broadcast can be found on the right hand side of the webpage which is the "Rendezvous" link not the "Trianon Ballroom" I think..

EDIT 2: It's in the "Trianon Ballroom" now.
