Vision
Our vision is to create an ecosystem where people are able to sell their anonymous data and earn an incentive "tokens" for their data. From all the data collected, we are aiming to create the worlds biggest decentralized data base capable of creating one of the most advanced decentralized cloud based Ai platforms, which will be accessible by anybody and from anywhere. Ai will be democratized, and not be controlled by a single company. This will improve the lives of millions by assisting them in their daily tasks, ensuring that they have more time to spend on things they care about, while also paying them for their data.

Problems
1) The current biggest problem is that the data required to achieve true Ai / Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is substantial. No single company are able to collect sufficient data. True Ai required millions of data points from various sources or people. We aim to bridge this gap by creating the worlds biggest community of users (trainers) providing their data in order to facilitate the development of Ai.

2) It is predicted that 40% of all jobs will be lost to Ai by 2030. While this may hold true, we believe that Ai will allow people to work less, and spend more time on things and with people they care about. We believe that selling data is the first step to a universal salary, that requires no work.

3) Companies are actively collecting user data online and selling this data to companies. This puts users at risk of having their personal data land into the wrong hands. We want to give back control to users, and ensure their privacy through blockchain technology. All the data that users share are anonymous, private, encrypted and stored on the blockchain. This means that no data can be traced back to a specific user. We are thus protecting the user, while also paying them for their data.

4) The other problem with data, is that it isn't very useful on its own. Data needs to be structure, which can take a very long time to accomplish. You also need some of the worlds best data scientists for this task. We will source some of the best scientists from the global community, and pay them in DVA tokens for structuring the data. Eventually we will move on to quantum computing which will be able to do this more effectively.

How it works
User registers on our Decentralized Application (DApp) and a wallet gets allocated to the user. The application will be made available across multiple platforms for easy access.

The user is then provided with options on how much, and which types of data he/she wants to share. The more data the user shares, the more tokens he/she receives. Data that can be shared include Social Media Usage, App Usage, Browsing Interests, and Transaction Details.

Data is currently one of the worlds most valuable resources, and the demand for data will drastically increase the value of DVA tokens, which will also serve as a great investment. The fact that there is only a limited amount of tokens, ensures that the value increases.

Data collected will include:

- Social Media Usage - Social Network Preference (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), Pages Liked, Frequent Topic Searches
- Browsing Interests - Products / Services you are interested in, News Feeds you read regularly, Preferred Commerce Stores, Ads you click on
- Transactions - Methods of payment preferred, Average Online Spend
- Location - To establish correlations between various geographic regions.

Data will be used to create a visualization that would assist companies in delivering better and more suited products based on user interests and also to determine the best marketing channels.

We are partnering with Civic, Butter Browser and Cygnal, which will provide users with even more options to share data and earn Devia (DVA) Tokens.

I don't get it. Isn't a pre-sale still a sale. Why not call it a sale?  ???

Hi,

This is a simply a discounted Pre-Sale to early adopters. So you could say that it is a pre-sale of a pre-sale, if that makes sense. ;D

What is Devia?
Devia is a Decentralized Cloud and Ai driven marketplace where companies pay users for their anonymous data and targeted ad click through purchases, which would ultimately lead to a more intelligent Ai assistant capable of assisting people in all aspects of life.

Vision
Our vision is to create an ecosystem where people are able to sell their anonymous data and earn an incentive "tokens" for their data. From all the data collected, we will be able to create the worlds most advanced decentralized cloud based Ai, that will be accessible by anybody and from their pockets.

Post by: thechex on September 20, 2017, 10:20:31 PM
Hi guys, scanned the white paper

1) where are you and the token issuing entity based?

2) do you plan to source primarily objective data or subjective too?  Sourcing any user data in aggregate based on subjective input/view of reality should be concerned with inaccurate information sentiment not reflective of truth - depending on the topic. 

"Anonymous data include Location of Purchases, Transaction Amounts and Establishment Types." Are you focused on automated objective data pulled from their device, software usage etc. or data that requires people answering specific questions (yes/no, or other) based on their life context, views, experience, expertise, etc?

For any subjectivity, just sourcing, structuring, organizing data is sort of the first primitive layer for AI development. Next layer could be assigning trusted specialists, ethical leaders etc. to properly weigh and qualify the data to draw more accurate conclusions, etc. There was a blockchain AI project presentation at Decentral camp at Burning Man that articulated this point, and they have a plan for Layer 2 as they are currently sourcing the yes/no etc input from people in exchange for tokens. Consider speaking to this point. 

3) careful not to make unqualified claims like "we will be able to create the worlds most advanced decentralized cloud based AI" as there are brilliant people working on the same thing with existing traction/user data gathered, and you're raising on a concept with development commencing next year.

4) have you spoken to any of the companies you plan to partner with?

Hi Chex.

Thank you for you interest. With regard to your above questions,

1) We are based in South Africa

2) We are mainly focused on automated objective data. We will however also give power back to the users by allowing them to limit the amount of data captured. We are looking into a voting system that could be based on a set of rules created by users globally. This will limit the capability of the Ai development, and ensure that it is being build with the purpose of improving lives. We are essentially creating an Ai community of contributors, scientists, and though leaders. The first focus would however be data and the incentivization thereof.

3)Thank you for pointing this out. I have changed the wording a bit to better reflect our purpose.

4)We have already partnered with Butter. We are currently in speaks with Civic.

Hope this answers your questions.

Best,
Tiaan

Hi Naka,

Thank you for your interest.

KickICO have finished their ICO. We are part of the first few projects that will launch on their platform.

Since it's PRE-ICO, it should be sufficient. The max cap on Pre-ICO is 4000 ETH.  This will give us a good indication of the demand and the price point we need to set. The amount raised in Pre-ICO reflects 5% of the amount we will raise in ICO.  So pre-ico x 20 will be our ICO target.

Hope this answers your question.

Best,
Tiaan

Hi, and thank you for your interest.

Erich is the guy in the middle.

We believe KickICO is a great platform for anyone to market themselves. We prefer working with them in order to improve our campaign, and we also want to support them for providing an amazing service. Their ICO campaign is finished, and projects will be launched soon.

Sorry but your whitepaper is full of garbage and your thread looks like junk. Nobody is going to raise 5 million for this

Your 'team' is also questionable. Provide more proof of identity

I am calling scam for now.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Your input is still valued either way, thanks.

Nobody is forcing you to invest. If you don't like the campaign, go and find ones in which you are interested in.

No defense? The quality of your ICO thread reflects how this will go.
This looks like a scam

It is not a scam, I can assure you. Is there anything specific that tells you it's a scam? We are always looking for ways to improve our campaign, and the community plays a key role.

Thanks

How will you deliver AI to this project?

Hi CFF,

Thank you for you interest.

Data collection and the interpretation thereof is the first step. User will share their anonymous data from their mobile devices, and receive DVA tokens for it.

As we expand, we will start developing smarter Ai, and source some of the best Data Scientists and developers, who will also be rewarded in DVA tokens.

Companies needing data visualization services will pay users that are sharing their data in DVA tokens.

Hope this answers your question.

Tiaan

Hi,

Thank you for expressing an interest.

We haven't received any investment yet. Our current offering is not a Pre-Sale, but rather an early adopter sale. We are selling only a few tokens at a special discount before the pre-sale.

The amount we raise during this phase will assist us with registration, securing the domain name we want, improving our marketing strategy, and MVP creation.

Feel free to return as we will post regular updates.

Hi Sannah,

Thank you for your interest.

Data collected will include:

Social Media Usage - Social Network Preference (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), Pages Liked, Frequent Topic Searches
Browsing Interests - Products / Services you are interested in, News Feeds you read regularly, Preferred Commerce Stores, Ads you click on
Transactions - Methods of payment preferred, Average Online Spend
Location - To establish correlations between various geographic regions.

This is just to give you some idea.

Data will be used to create a visualization that would assist companies in delivering better and more suited products based on user interests and also to determine the best marketing channels.

Companies will need to purchase DVA, and pay users (Providers of Data) in DVA Tokens in order to obtain the data. The user will however be able to choose how much and the type of data that is shared.

Hope this answers your question.

Best,
Tiaan

We have done some research, and apparently people are more than willing to do so, they just don’t
really know it yet.

People are sharing their information everyday on all social media platforms and apps, along with their location. The thing is, people are quick to say they wouldn’t share their data, but this is only because they don’t like the idea or don’t really want to think about it, but yet do it anyway. As long as they can access services.

We are however incentivizing users for their data, this way they actually get something in return. We are also protecting them from sharing personal data, and only anonymous data will be shared. Once we start explaining this to people, they are quick to change their views.

We actually see this as our competitive advantage. It’s an important truth that very few people know about - Peter Thiel

Hope this answers your question.

Best,
Tiaan

I can understand that project is well designed and definitely non personal data selling to specified companies is in demand which will be increasing with passage of time. I also checked the given address but there is no transaction yet that means there is no investment yet. I will be watching the progress continuously.

Hi,

Thank you for expressing an interest.

We haven't received any investment yet. Our current offering is not a Pre-Sale, but rather an early adopter sale. We are selling only a few tokens at a special discount before the pre-sale.

The amount we raise during this phase will assist us with registration, securing the domain name we want, improving our marketing strategy, and MVP creation.

Feel free to return as we will post regular updates.

Best,
Tiaan
This would be hard that you didn't even have funds regarding on starting up the project but somehow a good idea on launching early adopters price.I do see the project is good and I love the idea but on doubt if there would someone risk putting up money on this kind of set-up.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. You are absolutely correct. It won't be easy to get investment for something like this. We are targeting investors that believe in what we are trying to achieve, and can see the value this might have on society.

We are still in the very early stages, and it is not easy to give money away to something for which there is no product yet. We respect the value that investment would bring, and have to put ourselves out there.

This is exactly the purpose of the early adopter sale. Raising some funds so that we can create our MVP, and further win investors over through the business model and product we put out.

Best,
Tiaan

Hi guys, scanned the white paper

1) where are you and the token issuing entity based

2) do you plan to source primarily objective data or subjective too?  Sourcing any user data in aggregate based on subjective input/view of reality should be concerned with inaccurate information sentiment not reflective of truth - depending on the topic.  

"Anonymous data include Location of Purchases, Transaction Amounts and Establishment Types." Are you focused on automated objective data pulled from their device, software usage etc. or data that requires people answering specific questions (yes/no, or other) based on their life context, views, experience, expertise, etc?

For any subjectivity, just sourcing, structuring, organizing data is sort of the first primitive layer for AI development. Next layer could be assigning trusted specialists, ethical leaders etc. to properly weigh and qualify the data to draw more accurate conclusions, etc. There was a blockchain AI project presentation at Decentral camp at Burning Man that articulated this point, and they have a plan for Layer 2 as they are currently sourcing the yes/no etc input from people in exchange for tokens. Consider speaking to this point.  

3) careful not to make unqualified claims like "we will be able to create the worlds most advanced decentralized cloud based AI" as there are brilliant people working on the same thing with existing traction/user data gathered, and you're raising on a concept with development commencing next year.

4) have you spoken to any of the companies you plan to partner with?

Hi Chex.

Thank you for you interest. With regard to your above questions,

1) We are based in South Africa

2) We are mainly focused on automated objective data. We will however also give power back to the users by allowing them to limit the amount of data captured. We are looking into a voting system that could be based on a set of rules created by users globally. This will limit the capability of the Ai development, and ensure that it is being build with the purpose of improving lives. We are essentially creating an Ai community of contributors, scientists, and though leaders. The first focus would however be data and the incentivization thereof.

3)Thank you for pointing this out. I have changed the wording a bit to better reflect our purpose.

4)We have already partnered with Butter. We are currently in speaks with Civic.

Hope this answers your questions.

Best,
Tiaan


Thank you for those answers. Sounds like you have a thoughtful team and approach. Good luck to you on the project!
