Plutus Weekly Report - 15th October

Welcome to the Plutus Weekly Report on the 15th of October

Cryptocurrencies are still a brand new technology from a consumer perspective. This is why we would like to know your vision for using Plutus Tap & Pay for Android/iOS.

As you may well be aware, Plutus is first and foremost an app made for Bitcoiners, digital nomads, as well as a growing group of people who otherwise benefit from or enjoy using cryptocurrencies.

This is why we have now drafted a U/X (user experience) survey to better address the needs of the cryptocurrency community.

As a gesture of gratitude, every participant who completes the survey will receive 5 PLU.

Centralised vs. Peer-to-Peer
Are you still using a centralised exchange or service to store your coins?

We think that’s a bad idea. Services that rely on a central vault can go offline, get hacked, become insolvent, or shut down. Furthermore, you have to manually withdraw your coins, wait, and hope that the transfer clears.

What’s the alternative?

Start using a service that respects your cryptocurrencies as your own property, and does not store them on its server. (Because if you don’t hold your own coins, they don’t actually belong to you).

This is one of the main reasons we designed Plutus the way we did, as a peer-to-peer gateway for cryptocurrencies to pass through.

For example, using the PlutusDEX you can receive Pluton, Bitcoin, or Ethereum directly to your own custom cold storage wallet, or any valid cryptocurrency address for that matter.

Why not take it for a free test drive - here?

You can download our Plutus Tap & Pay App for iOS and Android here or on the App/Play store!

Exchange Updates

As stated in the Plutus White Paper, the only official and sanctioned way of obtaining PLU is via the PlutusDEX or the upcoming rebate system.

However, as a community initiative, you can use Twitter to tag any of the top three cryptocurrency exchanges, along with @Plutusit, #PLU and #CryptoAnywhere in an effort to get Pluton listed.
