Request Network News

Hi all!

I'm pretty new to the crypto space, but I've been waiting for quite a while for a good entry point and this seems to be the lowest the market will be in a while. So I've sent some funds to an exchange and was looking at some interesting coins to buy and Request Network caught my eye as a low market cap with a promising real-world use case. However, I was researching the tokenomics on this and CoinMarketCap shows that there are currently 725 million REQ in circulation, with a total supply of 999 million. The thing is that it doesn't seem to be mineable, so where do the rest of the 274 million tokens come from then?

Thanks in advance!

Wouldn't it be cool if you could send cryptocurrency tips to other Redditors using the Request Network? I thought so too, so I built the Request Network Tip Bot.

It currently supports ETH and five ERC20 tokens (REQ, DAI, DGX, OMG, KNC). To use it, reply to a comment or post with:

reqtip 0.0001 ETH, or reqtip 50 REQ. The trigger syntax is reqtip .

When the bot sees the trigger comment it will send a private message to the tip recipient. The recipient will sign a transaction to prove ownership of their Ethereum address, and the bot will send the tip sender a link to the Request Network Payment Gateway, where they can broadcast the transaction and pay the tip.

Instead of buying fake, centralised Reddit Gold to reward comments/posts you find interesting, why not send the recipient some decentralised, on-chain gold instead? reqtip 1 DGX.

Currently the bot is only running in this subreddit - I plan to expand it to other interested subs after a testing period.

Comments, feedback, and suggestions are all welcome, either here or in the Request Hub Slack (@mike). Happy tipping!

** Please note: The bot will never reveal your Ethereum address to anyone but the tip sender. However, both Ethereum and Reddit are public resources so it is possible for someone to browse both and deduce links between Ethereum addresses and Reddit usernames. If this is a concern for you, consider using a throwaway address to send/receive tips. **

PS: The last community update mentioned the team spending time providing support to builders. As one of the recipients of that support I would like to thank Adam, Elliott, and Romaric for all of the assistance they gave me in helping to get this up and running. Thanks also to everyone who has helped testing the bot or providing feedback/suggestions.

circulating supply went all the way up to 725 million on coinmarketcap

I want to liquidate some product basically at cost + shipping to free up some storage space and thought opening it up to accepting REQ would be cool, but in testing I get to a screen where it says "Accept & Pay", which prompts me to connect Metamask or Ledger Wallet. Obviously someone could send directly to the payment address listed, but I guess that wouldn't be part of the whole REQ WooCommerce process and recorded in Wordpress admin as an order.

I have some REQ in MEW, but not MetaMask, so I guess I could move stuff around to test. Just curious, are there any other options for accepting REQ through this process like mobile wallets through a QR code or something?

It's really cool that you can choose to pay fees in other tokens — I especially love that DAI is an option.

I'm becoming more convinced all the time that DAI is going to grow in importance to the decentralized economy. This latest article about how to use the Maker loan system, etc. is particularly interesting: https://medium.com/ethex-market/using-the-dai-platform-ac7c54df7a1e
