@lorne-kates said in Initiative Q - Money from nowhere?:
an article talking trash about Q (rank #5 -- https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2018/06/24/initiative-q-a-non-crypto-private-currency-marketed-by-pyramid-scheme/)
See, I'm not the only one who thinks it's a pyramid scheme. A scheme of IOUs is still a scheme.
EDIT:
An undertaking of great advantage, but nobody — including us — to know what it is
The Initiative Q payment network concept is hard to critique — because not only does it not exist, they don’t have anything as yet, except the notion of “build a payment network and it’ll be awesome”:
The legacy payment systems we use today are hopelessly obsolete and creaky;
anyone with modern technology could come along and make a better payment system — if only they could get a user base;
the existing providers are just too bogged down and inefficient to keep up with a new upstart along these lines.
So they’re recruiting people with Q tokens as future lottery tickets, so they can get merchants — and, presumably, venture capitalists — on board by saying, “we have this huge number of users.”But first, they need to get past the problem that none of this exists yet — everything in their pitch is completely imaginary — and they literally don’t have a plan yet.
The other problem is that nobody signed up to use Q as a payment processor — they signed up to get free money. Q still need to build their superior payment network before those people will use it.
Once Q build the payment network, and Q tokens are worth a dollar … they’re in the hole for the millions of Q tokens they’ve handed out — 14,000 Q to anyone with an email address. But I’m sure Q won’t suddenly declare the early tokens aren’t quite worth a dollar, or anything like that.
I do not believe the guy who wrote this article didn't read my posts here. (Well, no, seriously, a lot of people probably had the same thoughts. But hot damn. He even references the "a company to provide great benefit but nobody to know what it is" thing.)

LOL:
The main hurdle to innovation in payments is bringing a critical mass of buyers and sellers.
Not that they can tell you what that innovation will look like, of course.
"No FDIC insurance"
FDIC insurance was created to cover against fractional reserve risk. Initiative Q is not a fractional reserve system and therefore no insurance is required.
That's sort of true. FDIC like insurance will be needed (to compete with dollars) on Qs to protect from scams or volatility or whatever.

Considering some online game money has really world worth, maybe @initiativeq should consider writing a MMPORG to go with it.

Possibly. My guess is this:

andthe visitor's IP?"
-
@boomzilla I thought so too, but I'm still confused as to who "the visitor" is in this scenario.
-
@blakeyrat My best guess would be "any visitor's IP", seems to make the most sense that way and it's only one character off.
-
Typo, fcuk you.
Does the IP of the site that the article was published on-- which probably isn't the owner's personal IP but may be-- match the IP address of any visitor to the forums?
That would show that the person (most likely) read your post.

@blakeyrat So is this them folding, or what, or has that not happened yet?

I finally got bored enough to actually see what is supposed to make their payment network better.
Forget about carrying around a wallet filled with cash and cards. Instead, you can just walk into a store and pay with your smartphone, as your account is quickly identified using NFC, a QR code, or an audible code.
Not sure why paying with my smartphone (which I would presumably have to unlock first) is going to be quicker than paying with a card I get out of my wallet. Which also has NFC.
An audible code? Hmm, I can't think of any way in which an audible code for identification could ever be misused. No technology exists that allows sounds to be recorded and then replayed, so this is not a thing we should worry about at all.
With the Q app, you can enter a store, scan the barcode of the items you want, and simply walk out. At restaurants you can just leave when you’re done.
Are we supposed to be just trusting that the restaurant has put the correct stuff on our bill and effectively paying it sight unseen? I can't think how else this could work in the described way. That seems like a really bad idea.
There’s also no need to fill out forms each time you visit a new online store. Once you authorize your device, you are automatically identified, and you can confirm payment with 1-click.
This seems to make more sense talking about smartphones than when shopping online on a desktop computer, but I may be confused. Depends on what they mean by "authorize your device". I do wonder how this would work when, for instance, my kids occasionally use the office computer. I wouldn't want them to have one-click access to buy things online with my money.
On fraud prevention:
Our smartphones include fingerprint sensors, GPS, a camera and microphone that can recognize our face and voice, as well as the most advanced encryption capabilities. These can be used to implement highly secure multi-factor authentication methods, which would make it far more difficult to steal our identity.
Well, my smartphone doesn't have a fingerprint sensor (as far as I know). Am I going to need to upgrade? Also, we seem to have completely abandoned the non-smartphone experience now. My desktop computer certainly doesn't have any of those things. Too bad that's where I do my online shopping.
the Q payment network will be able to verify more information at higher accuracy, and incorporate more modern information sources, such as social media accounts.
Wait, now we have to give it access to our social media accounts? Let me direct you to the Nope thread:
The use of a centralized payment page for all Q users will help establish patterns of appropriate and inappropriate behavior, leading to a far more reliable assessment than any individual seller could accumulate alone.
But the sellers don't do the fraud detection. The bank or credit card company does it. Also, as soon as I saw "a centralized payment page for all Q users" I started hearing alarm bells about how much volume you expect this page to be able to handle. And what happens if your ISP goes down.
there is one capability that is unique to the Q payment network. Since every new member must be verified by an existing member, who risks losing their bonus in case of fraud, the Q payment network will build a network of trust relationships that can be used to verify transactions.
So if one person commits fraud, you're going to punish a different person? Not sure that's going to be a good idea. Could work, if the incentives for signing new people and the disincentives for signing dishonest people are balanced properly, but that's not an easy thing to do.
For example, the system can require that for large or suspicious purchases, a trusted friend must contact you directly and verify that you authorize the transaction.
Wait, you're going to share information about my purchases with other people? NO.
And then comes the really scary part!
Too much of the contemporary retail economy is based on misleading practices: cases where the seller knows that the value to the buyer is lower than it seems, or that final costs are higher than presented. These practices include free trials that turn into paid commitments without warning, unexpected price changes, and promoting products with false promises or deceitful marketing.
Q will go further than standard customer protection laws, creating a network where buyers don’t need to constantly worry about whether they are being scammed, and sellers can focus on quality rather than assuaging such concerns.
How do we do that? By making dishonest practices a legitimate reason for transaction reversal
Oh boy. Who ordered the giant-sized can of worms? Let me just take the top off that for you.
You seem to have no idea of the number of scammy buyers who are out there and would abuse this system utterly to death. I urge you, go spend a day or two reading Not Always Right.
Further, whatever conditions you put in place for "honest" business practices, sellers and advertisers will make sure they are juuust within the definition, but still promoting their product as being better than it really is, because that's basically their job.
Initiative Q has the unique ability to ensure that reviews are only provided by verified buyers who made an actual purchase from that seller
Oh, like the "verified purchase" thing on Amazon reviews? So unique.
The Q payment network can also include an automated dispute resolution process, with an easy to use interface that allows users to submit claims and upload evidence to support those claims.
Most dispute claims don't really come with evidence. "The item never arrived." "When I opened the box one part was missing." "It was broken when I received it."
Disputes that cannot be resolved automatically
I find it hard to believe that this won't be nearly all of them.
can be assigned to a trained representative, who investigates the claims to determine whether there has been a violation of the Q payment network regulations.
And you think this will cost less than current fraud prevention measures?
Moving on...
Sub-accounts can be easily set up to allocate funds, authorize expenses, and provide easy access to the full history of transactions. This is perfect for children or expense accounts that need to be supervised. A similar feature can facilitate bill-sharing for restaurants, utilities, and other shared expenses.
I have to set up a sub-account just to split the bill at a restaurant?
For example, new users can be evaluated on the basis of the reputations of those who have verified them or are connected to them. This would provide significant improvements over the current credit scoring system, which relies only on payment history, retains inaccuracies for long periods of time, and promotes debt.
This makes very little sense. Users should be evaluated on their own merits. (The inadequacies of the current system, I grant you.)
Initiative Q will address this issue, allowing people all over the world to make deposits, purchases, sales, money transfers, and investments without ever needing access to a bank.
I believe there are several systems along these lines already in Africa (ironically, a lack of infrastructure led to a lack of traditional banking which led to a massive boom in mobile phone payment networks - the same lack of infrastructure having also led to a high uptake of mobile phones since landline service was difficult to get).
On the cost of transactions:
credit and debit cards... introduce other high costs, resulting from their use of outdated technology.
Because the Q payment network will use a unified system and currency, and operate digitally using the most advanced technology, transaction fees can be much lower.Sorry, you need to explain here. Why is "outdated technology" so much more expensive than "the most advanced technology"? Usually it's the other way around.
A smart, adaptive system can learn from previous transactions, and use the information to recommend sales or related products. Transactions made online can also include links to view or download related videos and other information that has proven helpful to previous consumers.
By integrating all product information and using advanced algorithms, Initiative Q can transform market dynamics: instead of sellers aggressively convincing consumers they need their products, the focus will shift to identifying real customer needs, and finding the products that best fulfill those needs.
Hahahahahaha. Seriously, I cannot laugh as much at this as it deserves. No, sellers will still try to convince people to buy their products. At most, you'll see a shift towards gaming your recommendation engine. (See also: the rise of the SEO industry.)
Initiative Q will focus only on technology, standards and regulation, while delegating the financial operation to hundreds of local agents. These local agents will be responsible for customer service, safeguarding members’ funds, connecting local stores, legal compliance, and settling with other agents.
Those hundreds (surely thousands? Or are you only going to have one per country?) of local agents effectively are Initiative Q. I hope you're selecting, training, and monitoring them very carefully. And what will that add to your overhead?

You can record electric / radio signals, too. There's ways to prevent replay attacks.
Just the thought off how annoying audible codes would be makes this idea utterly stupid, though. I don't want to listen to 90s style modem sounds anymore.

Once your Q gets passed around to everyone who wants it, it gets devalued to the point of useless. Your Q system is entirely broken.

@lorne-kates Actually, @initiativeq believes that the more people use your Q, the more your Q becomes valuable. He also doesn't know exactly how a Q can be used, but he certainly flaunting his Q around, in the hope that in the long term it will enable him to actually sell his Q for real money! At the moment, he's giving his Q for free to make Q as wide open as possible.
