Cool review to project Endor – https://icocrunch.io/ico/endor/What – Protocol for affordable predictive analytics for businesses and users When – TBD Rating – 4.8🔥Idea & TokenAs a rule, predictive analytics requires complex hardware and software, lots of time for computing and iterations, data scientists, modern data models, artificial intelligence technology, and the last but not the least – money. If you have all of these, you’ll get quite accurate answer to your predictive question. So, nowadays only large corporations can afford this kind of service. Endor is aiming to use blockchain technology and automation to make predictive analytics available for everyone. The idea is based on Social Physics, a new science developed in MIT and dealing with everyday sets of data, for example credit card purchases. By analyzing these datasets you can find human activity patterns and, basing on them, obtain accurate predictive analytics. First of all Endor is targeting enterprise clients. They will upload their data to Endor’s automated “Data as a Service” platform, wait for the data processing (from an hour to a day), and then ask questions to get the required predictions. This engine was already successfully used by Coca-Cola to find out market campaign effectiveness and product adoption, and by Twitter to detect ISIS activists. The list of enterprise clients is quite long, we’d name two more monsters – Mastercard and Walmart. The experience in all of these companies showed that the computing costs were much lower in comparison to the current methods and systems. For end users, the company is planning to use blockchain technology to connect users and data providers in a cost-effective way to make predictive analytics affordable for everyone. If you are sure this won’t be interesting for you as a user, think that you could predict a token price, say, three months ahead. We don’t mean an Endor’s token, we mean literally any token you plan to invest to. This is a privilege that wasn’t available to mere mortals ever before. The Endor’s protocol will allow you to connect to an existing blockchain as well as off-chain datasets. You will pay Endor’s EDR tokens to make a prediction request, and the more complex the request, the higher the price. These tokens will go to analytical data providers who supply the data sets and to those who perform the computations. Most of the generated tokens will be spent on research and development, establishing partnerships (for example, with a world-leading research institute), and purchases of prediction engine technologies. TeamThe team consists of 12 of world-class professionals - data scientists, IT specialists, product experts. Some of them have PhDs, many of them are directly connected with MIT. Dr. Yaniv Altshuler, co-founder and CEO, and Professor Alex Pentland, also a co-founder, both are MIT reserchers, developed theoretical base for the Endor protocol and Social Physics. They also have 8 advisors, top specialists at blockchain technology, data science, big data analytics, and many more. Endor established partnerships with those companies listed above and a number of others among which we’d name two companies connected to blockchain technology - Bancor and Enigma. SummaryThe summary is short. A valuable idea, a top team, a strong and weighed vision, a working product, a number of huge enterprise clients. The only thing to pay attention is a lack of information regarding the token and its distribution, but we are sure they’ll do everything better than we expect. A very strong project bringing the idea of affordable predictive analytics to enterprises and masses. Just ask any question! |

New review on icocrunch 🕹Gamblica - https://icocrunch.io/ico/gamblica/
What - Online blockchain-based gambling service When - 01 March - 01 June 2018 Goal - 40,000 ETH Rating - 4Idea and Token Gamblica is a transparent online blockchain-based gambling platform with random mechanisms based on cryptographic hash algorithm and smart contracts. It allows users to verify all transactions and review the RND algorithm of any bet or game. The global gambling market is currently experiencing rapid growth (CAGR 9% which is 3 times faster than the global GDP). Gamblica covers every gambling activity, including online casino games, sports betting, and poker. Implementation of blockchain technology into the online gambling industry will allow for building an absolutely transparent system. The outcome of each individual bet, spin, or the next played card is random and is determined by using a multi-factor model of random number generation, where the final value is determined on the basis of several input parameters. The GMBC token is an internal currency of the Gamblica platform, which is used for betting in all Gamblica games and sports betting. Besides, the platform's additional premium services can be purchased with GMBC tokens only. The token is deeply integrated into the system to ensure the maximum turnover, since the value of any cryptocurrency increases exponentially with the number of agents using it. The economy of the token is based on the imputed commission of various games, a bookmaker commission for accepting bets on various outcomes of a sports event, or a poker "buying in" fee. The business model of a casino is based on the fact that a player's probability of winning is lower than that of a casino (in red and black betting, there are 18 winning pockets for players against 19 for a casino; slot machines have a return-to-player value of 95%, 5% goes to a casino). That is why, in a long-term perspective, Gamblica makes profit. TeamLinkedIn profile of Gamblica consists of 16 young persons. We checked them and couldn’t find previous huge experience in gambling. On the other hand, the main technology stack of Gamblica is around the blockchain technology, and we are sure that the team skills will allow them to implement all planned. Law risksSeveral countries have monopoly on gambling, several ones restrict even popularization and advertising them in any form. It should be taken into consideration because it’s the main law risk and barrier for scaling and legal expansion of Gamblica worldwide. SummaryGamblica is an interesting project and a bold attempt to create a fair gambling platform working without humans. This platform is free from traditional problems such as fraudulent behavior of some operators, account blocking, poor personal data protection. Blockchain, smart contracts, strong mathematics and cryptographic algorithms provide required quality level, trust and transparency. According to the Roadmap, the launch of the first part of the platform (casino) is planned for September 2018. Other modules (a poker room and betting platform) will be launched in June and December 2019 correspondingly. Unfortunately, there is no beta or prototype yet, therefore this fact has decreased the aggregated rating value. Also, we would like to emphasize high quality of the ICO documents and accompanying stuff. Their active Telegram channel demonstrates strong interest of the community. Gamblica - transparent online blockchain-based gambling platform with random mechanisms based on cryptographic hash algorithm and smart contracts. |

Cool review on ICO Crunch: 🕹The Abyss – https://icocrunch.io/ico/the-abyss/What – Digital gaming distribution platform providing benefits for gamers and developers When – TBD Rating – 4.5🔥Idea & TokenFor the last years, the gaming industry has become a huge market reaching $100 billion revenue in 2017. One of the key factors of this growth is a digital distribution of games without the use of physical media like CDs. This way of distribution has led to appearing such publishers and retailers as Steam, PlayStation Store, Amazon.com, Origin, UPlay, and others. The Abyss aiming to become the gaming distribution platform offering the following unique benefits for gamers and developers: – Multilevel referral: The Abyss offers individual referral programs to players and pays for friends engaged to the platform and users engaged by the friends. And if you are the first to bring in users to the platform, you earn the maximum income. This works for both players and developers. – Earnings for gamers: Gamers can also earn from different activities on the platform, such as achievements, content generation (reviews, streams, guides, commentary, fan art), internal CPA Network, etc. – Internal CPA (Cost Per Action) Network for developers: Developers get access to an internal system of advertising offers for engaging targeted traffic. Add here some promotion features, such as offering one’s traffic to other games for tokens, getting external traffic, viewing traffic statistics, link referral etc. The Abyss also offers customer support service, simple UI, ability to launch the alpha or beta versions for collecting gamers’ feedback, and others. The release of the first version of the platform is planned on Q4 2018, and the development will continue in 2019 and 2020. Their ERC-20 token called ABYSS is the primary way of exchange on the platform. Fiat will also be accepted for game purchases for faster adoption, but if you buy with ABYSS tokens, you get a discount. Some features will be accessible by using the ABYSS tokens only. TeamThe Abyss is a project of Destiny.Games, well-known Russia-based video game developer and publisher with extensive expertise in developing game projects. Founder Konstantin Boyko-Romanovsky, also the Founder and CEO of Destiny.Games, has over 17 years of experience in the gaming industry. The core team consists of 12 members (the entire team of Destiny.Games consists of 40+ specialists), plus 5 advisors. The team is really strong and looks more than capable of developing the projects of that kind. SummaryIn addition to most of the features of existing competitors like Steam or Origin, the Abyss platform offers their own unique ones, that makes the project quite attractive, but they’ve got the significant hype due to a decision to test the DAICO concept developed by Vitalik Butrin. This concept allows token holders to control the fund withdrawal limit, and vote for the refund of the remaining contributed money in case the team fails to implement the project. Among possible challenges we’d call the platform implementation which is planned only for Q4 2018 and more than serious competitors like Steam. At the same time, their five-level referral program is working right now and will definitely drive adoption in the beginning of the project life.
The Abyss is an ambitious project which is being developed by an excellent, fully-packed, experienced team aiming to bring a new generation gaming distribution platform with unique benefits for both gamers and developers. And they are trying to be better than Steam. Well, let’s see. |
