Bitcoin Forum

I recently found one project under development.
Announcement thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2426759
Website: https://taklimakan.io/
Talkimakan offers a business platform, as a connecting resource between beginners and experts of the crypto community, allows creating mailings of trading and analytical recommendations to professionals, while independent investors can make capital gains on the basis of these recommendations.

The idea is not bad. But there are a lot of trading platforms
I wanted to know the opinion of experienced traders, can this project be successful and take its place among its competitors in the future?

Yeah I've heard about them, since they are based in my region (based out of Singapore). Singapore was always going to become a blockchain and Bitcoin hub, and this isn't the first project that's launched from there in the past six months. Very few of them have more than two or three nominal Singaporeans, though, actually, the rest of the team - as with Taklimakan - tends to be outsourced from a certain European region.

Bitcoin's been making some waves there, though, with the first Bitcoin related trial about to take place in the Singapore International Commercial Court, so you see there's quite a bit of recognition there.

As for the platform itself, I haven't seen any product from them, and as for trading skill/experience, can't say for sure if the team have it. They would need to do a lot more with their dev plans though, as I've seen competitors trying the same thing look a lot more solid.

I observe for this project for around week or more. According to answers of the team (especially amitrovich) at the ann thread I have a good first impression about it. But still, they don't share any information about previously realized projects. In my opinion it's a very important aspect when I choose projects to invest in.

Looking through their development team, I came to the conclusion that they could create the promised platform. The development staff numbers more than 200 qualified  people. I think the problem is whether they will be able to attract experienced traders and analysts who will provide the right information. The presence of such personnel will determine their fate. This can be a serious obstacle

I was also very interested in the idea. I especially liked the technically competent replies of representatives in the profile topic of the forum.
I want to invest in the project immediately after the official registration of the project in Singapore.   

Are you kidding? The number of developers in the team still don't say anything. They want to create a platform for millions of users. This isn't the creating of Miner in Delphi

Many people say that there are plenty of such projects. Where are they? I don't know any good platform with  an ICO analytics. I don't know any reliable platform for the fund management. Where are they all??? I hope we will see the realisation of this project asap.

I wanted to promote them through their bounty campaigns but they took a life to update the spreadsheet so I moved to another campaign...

I think you're exaggerating the problem of attracting traders, investers and other users to this platform. If it works, then in the big Internet network there will always be people wishing to use this site for working

I looked through their bounty campaign, I was confused by the fact that the spreadsheets were red. Later they corrected this. In addition, a small number of people participate in the bounty campaign. But, perhaps, it's even good, because each participant will receive most of the reward.

I can explain my views on this matter.
Each experienced trader already has a pool of information sources, contacts on the basis of which he makes a decision about investing. He knows where to look and what to read to make a decision. Why should he enter new site and pay money for signals and reports of other analysts?

I agree with you. I was interested in this project because of this and I have been following the news from this project for some time.

You are talking about attracting experienced traders. But Taklimakan network positions itself as a platform not only for professionals, but also for beginners. Newcomers find it difficult to find the right data in a large stream of information. The platform will facilitate the training of staff, because will have an education service and a special commission will monitor the quality of output signals

I agree with you. Taklimakan is a platform for both beginners and professionals. The platform will facilitate the training of its staff. It attracts me.

Interesting discussion. Can someone enumerate real competitors to this project? Are there any competitors at all?

I know one project that looks like Taklimakan. United traders. This is trading platform, created by the traders themselves. They also have a education service. Training of traders is in the first place, because the company gives them to manage their share of capital and monitors the success of trading

United traders declare that their product has been operating since 2012. And the release of the new interface in Sep-Oct 2017. I'm wondering, is it true or empty words?

Yes. it's true. Given that United traders already has a ready-made solution that works, it has a better chance of raising funds. Because investors are more comfortable investing in a existing product, rather than in a idae and a picture in white paper

I think, (taklimakan) It's a new platform.
Is it possible? ... be able to compete with and even surpass existing platforms? ...
Because existing product have provided important evidence in benefits and convenience of investors.

What kind of existing product are you talking about? Can you give a list of these products? I'm interested.

I think comparing these projects is not entirely correct. Yes you are right, United Traiders have a education service and a platform for the work of traders. But unlike Taklimakan, it doesn't have any analytical services, where different analysts can work, or any crowd predictions service. United traders represents only a few of the functions declared by Taklimakan

If you are looking for similar projects, then pay attention to this Israeli startup
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1894530.msg18810057;topicseen#msg18810057
CoinDash is a crypto based portfolio management platform for both new and experienced traders. The platform provide its user with adequate tools to manage and maximise their portfolios.The first layer of the platform is tools for managing and analysing users performances in relation to the market and other traders. The platform takes the user's public key (address) and traces back all the transactions he made attaching them with real time price quotes ending up showing clean output of his holding and trades with a feedback about his trading results.The second layer of the platform is Social trading features. Users can follow others to see their position, trades and holding and even use Copy trading and Copy ICO tools using smart contracts.The third and last layer is making CoinDash a whole marketplace for secondary markets.

This project already looks a little more interesting than the united traders. But whatever in this project there are no all functions declared in Taklimakan. In any case, you have to wait for the products to compare them.

I see from the topics of bounty and announcement of CoinDash, that their project is over, they collected the money. But half a year has passed and there is no news about the development of their platform. If this continues like this, there will be disappointment and CoinDash will not be able to compete with Taklimakan

I think you shouldn't cross out coindash from the list of competitors. Their platform is promising but difficult to develop. I hope their developers will be able to show the first version of their product

It looks like a team of professional scammers is working. I personally attracted many new users and did not get paid for it ... If the project starts with deceiving people, it will have a bad future :-\

there are a group of projects that are trying to live on the steemit, hive fame, and provide people with decentralized social network that will be mainly for crypto, but for other topics as well, do not think that there is that many people that can use all these social network - crypto related, so some of them had to go down
received some airdrop from them, but did not use it recently, there are better networks for that purpose

This is an old announcement but i think i have some good news and mixed news.
Firstly the taklimakan bounty for the year 2019 was a beautifully tasked bounty, that brought several dividends to the hunters. and the platform also enjoyed great publicity and influx of new users from around the world.

But what went wrong? and how the token and platform suffered unpopularity baffles me, both the platform, its new bounty and the price on market now struggle.
Is it safe to call it a one wonder project?
