Quoted from the creator ("Capricornone" on Pink's discord, "TRollBoxIo" on twitter):
"When Poloniex’s Trollbox disappeared; for some it was a blessing; for others it was like losing a group of friends. A big chunk of what made Crypto trading —the wild west— was gone in my view and I missed it.
Poloniex's trollbox was certainly not a perfect place. There was a lot of spammy comments, FUD and generally crying noobs pumping ‘shit coins’. I embraced that though. Trading any type of commodity, stock or crypto is a trend of human emotion. Polo’s Trollbox was human emotion on steroids. If you were willing to look past the crud you could get a great feel for the days trading ahead.
All the things that were wrong with Polo’s trollbox I wanted to make right and make it more feature rich and engaging.
The major things that made using Polo's trollbox difficult was the pace of it. At peak pump times you could hardly read the messages - let alone reply to them. The moderators seems to mindlessly ban hammer people for little reason and 90% of messages were MOON orientated and hampered the performance of Poloniex.
TRollBox.io has set out to cure some of those usability ills.
- Being able to real-time filter user Display Names so you can reply as your own pace even if messages are flying
- 20 min inbox feature where users can reply to you and quote your message. If you have left your machine you can still keep track of the communications without having to search previous messages.
- Voting system: Users regulate the TRollBox so it is fully self-sufficient and stops needing moderators 24/7 - https://www.TRollBox.io/#/index/banphase
- Rewards: TRollBox is built on top of the Pinkcoin blockchain which stakes coins. Pinkcoins are provided by users that wish to use TRollBox by adding a small deposit. Staking is like interest on a bank account. This interest gained from the users' deposits is used for running costs, charitable donations and users rewards. The deposit is the main guard against spammy accounts. When you don’t want to use TRollBox you can remove your deposit at any time which means the tool is free to use.
- Within a few weeks TRollBox.io will be available as a chrome extension so you can run it over any exchange.
More trading features are coming soon like an an automated trading bot (TRollBot). I built a tool that I wanted to use and it had to be super easy to use. For the disenfranchised Polo TRollBox users I hope this fills the gap."
The interface is sweet, you're able to to build custom lists of coins to watch on either side of the TRollBox(one side for Bittrex, the other for Poloniex), and the whole concept of users gaining "weight" based on making useful/popular posts or possibly banned based on downvotes(if the mods deem the downvotes valid) will make it much better than the Poloniex TRollBox ever was(and somewhat similar to steemit.com in that regard). There's more to it to, which is shown in the following screenshots.
To me, the fact that it should be virtually void of spam/phishing due to the initial (but very cheap) investment and the ban phase model is a big reason to use this service over almost any other as a utility for making well-informed decisions, including twitter and reddit. Of course I'm long on PINK for many reasons, regardless of this service's existence, but this yet another big reason to get involved. As this service gains popularity, more and more PINK will be bought simply to use it, and donations made to the #Donate4Life platform(which permanently takes those coins out of circulation) will increase because a lot of people that wouldn't have otherwise looked into PINK would finally do so due to it's increased exposure and performance in the market.
