i was looking in here about GATOCOIN: https://icobench.com/ico/gatcointhey have a very good short but good description about what they are doing: DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS Global Platform: Our network is open to all merchants in any part of the world. This gives GATCOIN significant reach and a global business platform Proprietary A-DropTM: Patent-pending crypto currency distribution system that targets audiences by demographic, shopping interests and geo-location. Push notifications alert customers of token receipt in seconds. A-DropTM unleashes unprecedented innovation and creativity in retail digital marketing Tradable Tokens: Merchant tokens are tradable for GAT Coins delivering immediate intrinsic value to customers. Merchant tokens will always be valuable to consumers no matter who issues them, and whether the consumer uses them or not Strong Business: GATCOIN gets business done, and will launch retail tokens covering a network of 60,000+ retail stores and 21 brands in Asia through SK Planet Japan’s COTOCO gift and coupon business. That’s just the beginning TEHCNICAL COMPONENTS GAT NETWORK Global high-speed blockchains on which retail tokens circulate and A-DropTM to customers anywhere in the world GAT WALLET A beautifully-designed mobile token wallet that customers use to manage and spend their retail tokens GAT MARKETPLACE A mobile shopping portal where customers can spend retail tokens for real products GAT EXCHANGE A full-feature crypto-currency exchange where retail tokens are publicly traded for GAT Coins, and GAT Coins are publicly traded for Bitcoin, Ethereum and other major crypto currencies GAT FOUNDATION An independent non-profit organization based in Singapore And information about the ICO prices: PreICO price1 GAT = 0.167 USD Token price1 GAT = 0.20 USD I think it is a good thing that Gatcoin's pre ICO price and ICO price are not too different. Some projects are giving away crazy bonuses. When I see that, I dont even want to invest anymore..

They need to have their own forum like some other project
For now the team still concentrate in this ico and working hard to make this ico success. Soon after this ico finished they will create forum for soma community. So be patient and everything will need time So they work to make this ICO a success? Then they should start working for real and communicate with their community ... HERE! Because here, in this forum is the chance to get new people into the project, to get new potential investors, not on Telegram, not on another forum where people from their community already have decided to join them. In telegram or another forum, just for Soma, they will not get much more new people into the project. I dont agree totally. I think people are using Bitcointalk just to read about other peoples opinions. If you have a specific question, there are so many ways to contact SOMA, it is really not a problem. But I agree that if ICOs want to sell more, they can be more active in this forum.

what is so useful in using blockchain here?
Because it's a network for gamers so why not making it decentralized? Also it's really useful for the "services" part of the app. And we will see everything builded on blockchain in the future Yes but it will take some time. Currently, the internet speed in most countries is not fast enough to run everything on the blockchain. Even Steem is working real hard to get a solution for the internet speed problem. I know that its a general issue but it will affect the usage of all the online brands. Internet speeds are a real problem, especially in the US. There are still people on dial-up ffs. I not gonna belive that in the United States you can't achieve decent internet speed like 20 Mbps. Nowadays even mobile internet is faster Internet is fast everywhere in the world now. Only in remote places, like some pacific islands, you pay a lot for very slow internet.

Dont think they can be replaced but those retail giants will use blockchain for sure in the future! The first big retail giant who will use blockchain will be a step futher then the competition and will have more market value! Some people are only just starting to use eBay and similar sites and its pretty new concept for them, thats why I cant see everyone moving to blockchain just yet. Its certainty exciting idea for everyone who is trying to follow new technologies but it will take some time to get adopted. Yes, Bitcoin is 9 years old and there are still a lot of people who have no idea what it is. These projects are very long term projects. It can take another 10 years before people will start using the SOMA platform

Presale is almost at 30%, really nice! Still some weeks to go, so I think this will be a good sale. After the Segwit2x fork money will come back to altcoins and ICO's.
Really hope this fork shits stops after segwit2x
Do you mean 30% of the cap of pre-sale? Pretty good news if they seem to get funds relatively easy. A lot of ICO's seem to struggle getting funds And they didn't announce the demo yet. Probably with it, funding would be massive. Can't wait to try it but the real deal I'm waiting for is the SSL blockchain sometime next year Are you referring to SSL certificate? "SSL Certificates provide secure, encrypted communications between a website and an internet browser. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer" I think he meant the Super large ledger Blockchain developed by Prof Tsai. Here you can read more about SSL System: https://www.gatcoin.io/how-it-works-high-speed-super-large-ledger-technology/I had a look at the article, but couldnt find how the SSL technology is related to Gatcoin. Is this technology for every blockchain project, or do they have to implement the technology and is Gatcoin willing to do that? GATCOIN platform will implement high speed super large ledger technology developed by Prof. Tsai in order to achieve fast transaction time comparable to credit card transactions which in essence, is a great feature of the platform. Yes but I was wondering, is this SSL technology exclusive for Gatcoin? Or will it be implemented by every blockchain platform in the future?

The idea of an open, censorship-resistant marketplace using blockchain and smart contracts seems very interesting, but how are you different than your competitors? What platform will you be using?

I saw an Utrust advertisement on Instagram Story, I was flabbergasted ad I did not expect to see crypto advertisement on Instagram! I think its smart.
Adversiting in Instagram? I hope they cant stop adversiting after ICO as well I think advertisement after ICO is more important. People need to know the use case for it. Finding merchants that accept it will be key, also a good marketing strategy I am not sure if advertisement after ICO is very necessary, but a good after-sales strategy is important to keep the price of the tokens high. They should keep their social media strategy and announce regular updates

I don't think that Soma will replace Amazon or eBay in the near future, and also not in the far future. Both are already too big at the moment and Somas style and idea is in my eyes not the daily shopping thing. As said before, I see Soma more as something like Etsy or so, some platform maybe for Artists to sell their stuff. I havent heard about Etsy before, but since you compare SOMA with Etsy, I will have a look. Also interesting; artist are the kind of people that are open for new ideas and experiments so this is not a bad idea at all

Actually, it is a personalized advertisement, they know you are into crypto and they are showing you advertisement about icos. I am seeing lots of them, it is what advertisers do nowadays. This explains! I knew this targeted advertisement was on Facebook and other sites but the ads on Instagram never cought my attention before. Especially on Insta story..

Almost 1/3 sold in the presale, that sounds good. The sale is always fast at the beginning. Still enough time to decide if you want to invest. Is there a limited bonus time?

I don't think so. If there is happening the giants would go in blockchain for preventing it. I remember that Nokia was a giant when I was in high school, now there are other giants in the front lines. What if current giants dont believe in blockchain? I guess that is the case, which is good for SOMA

So if Gizer and Gaze partner up, what happens to their cryptocurrency? Will there still be a gizer coin and gaze coin, or will there be a new coin that represent both platforms?

This thread is one of the better ones I have seen for a while now on Bitcointalk. I still have to read the whitepaper, but can I already ask 1 question;
What kind of professionals can use Experty? I am curious about healthcare, can professionals from healthcare also use this platform?
Anyone who has access to the internet can install the app from the app store and start selling his/her knowledge on the global market. We are democratising the consultations market so even people in villages in underbanked countries can start selling their knowledge on the global market (ie. Spanish lessons for $1/hour from someone from Venezuela etc.). Thank you for your reply. So this platform is not only for lawyers and consultants, but everybody can sell their knowledge. I have seen similar projects, but not yet on blockchain.

I just read about the partnership between Gizer and Gaze Coin. Not being familiar with the latter, initially I struggled to see the connection between them. But after reading the blog post it starts to make sense. Gaze Coin rewards VR/AR/MR consumers for their time spent interacting with the advertiser's content. The idea behind the partnership is to combine Gizer's platform for organizing VR/AR/MR gaming events with Gaze Coin's monetization of VR/AR/MR content. This sums it up: Gaze Coin content creators will be able to expand upon their ability to monetize MR experiences by utilizing the Gizer platform. Gizer’s platform creates an environment in which content creators, tournament hosts, and gamers can create a more immersive competitive gaming experience. So is mixed reality and augmented reality the same thing?

ICO will be in december, in the meantime the demostrative app will be released and it will be the mother of all marketing moves
I hoped GATCOIN will someday or in the near future, will consolidate all rewards programs worldwide. Though its hard to be implement, it is not impossible as well. I think investing in rewards programs is smart, since people will always be attracted to rewards. Today I saw that I could book flights with my miles, I was so excited! I can see that happening too with Gatcoin, when you get a targeted drop on your phone, you will instantly get dopamine to your brain!
