The UI for InVision mobile app looks good. The monotone theme gives an appearance of speed. I hope it will run smooth and speedily.

You also get paid by selling your data with their tokens. I guess also to buy the data is the same story?
Why would an individual buy somebody's data? I think it works only one way, you sell your data, Bitron will collect it, analyze and sell it further to interested companies so they could use this analysis in order to improve their digital marketing campaigns. Most businesses prefer raw data from people who are not necessarily filling out forms for the purpose of data analytics. Biotron will have ensure that to profitable in this business. The scandal over Cambridge Analytica and Facebook is for all to see. Today's computers have so much power that working on huge chunks of raw data is not a problem When I say 'raw data' I meant the data that has to be analyzed would be better if it isn't a form filled out by people through questionnaires. Instead, it would be more profitable if the metadata from a user behavior is allowed to be recorded and compiled with explicit consent, of course. In the larger scheme of things, it is better to have the metadata because it reduces the risk of contamination/

The big problem faced by Facebook serves as a great example for the sphere. Surely the Team will have plenty of space to work and establish partnerships that reinforce their security over time
Safety here is a key issue. Blockchain technology will be able to guarantee a much higher information safety, right? So Sphere already has an advantage. Yep, blockchain itself able to give the security and it will become the benefit for sphere. Surely, they need much more things to do to give a guarantee in this area. Security is not just a matter of blockchain, there are of course also other things which influence it. Facebook makes money off of the user data so thinking they would protect it has always been naive at best. Sphere must show that they don't rely on selling the data. Perhaps a marketplace would be much better. Data will always be sold.

Yes there is no official annocement for vitalik as a supporter of ehf, but a picture of vitalik with one of the developer from ehf team. And in crypto world it’s enough to create some hype, it’s possible that vitlalik know EHF now cause he know one of the dev, and it’s a good point for the visibility.
Thats true! If he knews him, he also probably knows about the project. But its a complete other thing if he is supporting the project or not. We dont know until there will be an official announcement. Even if they support officially, its possible they would not announce to public directly. I have seen some project which deals internally only, and not public The would loose a lot, I think, if they wouldn't announce such a partnership. But anyway, it's just speculation for now. Let's wait for any confirmation from the team. I'm not sure if the article has been linked before. https://www.leafscience.org/vitalik-buterin-the-best-thing-to-donate-money-to-is-the-fight-against-aging/That's actually the translation of that russian article, so now you guys can read it fully in english. A good one, isn't it? Yes, it's an interesting interview. He is an analytical mind and realizes that cancer might just be a symptom of aging. cancer can be a simptom of aging. as you grow old, errors accumulate in your DNA which may lead to cancer. I'm not sure if this is true but I've also heard this before. Besides that there are a lot of your bad health habits from the past The cause of cancer is not completely understand today. There are also strong indicators, that emotional shocks and psychological topics can have an influence on emergence and healing of cancer. In my opinion the main reason for cancer is stressful like and workaholizm Not necessarily. Cancer is not related to stress in anyway but in many ways, it is related to imbalance in the body. Hard to detect.

Heard about the ICO postponement. I guess it is only the right thing to do considering the bearish market condition.

Bitcoin Garden: Biotron Partners With SophiaTX https://bitcoingarden.org/biotron-partners-with-sophiatx/Biotron is a personal data analytics platform that uses blockchain for two main tasks within its ecosystem. To facilitate transactions of data and of their proprietary BTRN token, and to host smart contracts between data providers (our users) and data customers.
To reduce the significant investment in infrastructure Biotron decided to seek a partnership with an existing blockchain solution. The sheer volume of transactions and smart contracts (required to provide customers with Biotron’s analytics products) meant that solutions such as Ethereum, Multichain, Waves, and Ark, would not be sufficient. Of these blockchains, only Ethereum is capable of handling smart contracts in limited amounts. However, their transactions are expensive and the blockchain is notoriously slow.
“When deciding on a blockchain, we needed to think about how our analytics could be easily assimilated into an organisations’ existing ecosystem too.” – Pavol Magic, CEO
Biotron sought a partner with an organisation that was just as business focussed as their data analytics’ solution. One that understands how they are using analytics to drive business decision making; and in turn, how businesses will use those analytics. Naturally, the solution had to have all the features required technically and be robust enough to handle potentially hundreds of thousands of micro-transactions quickly. Fortunately, Biotron found both of these in one place. After going through an extensive amount of consulting and exhaustive due diligence process, they are pleased to reveal that will be using a blockchain platform provided by SophiaTX....SophiaTX is a great project... and the platform is appropriate for the kind of work Biotron is looking to execute. So, their marketing guy leaving SophiaTX to join Biotron is a good thing after all.

So today we finally hear their blockchain decision. It is really one of the most important parts of it. I hope they choose something with dpos  This is an important and strategic decision! Maybe I'm influenced because I'm an investor of it, however I think that Multiversum technology could be the right decision for Biotron! Multiversum is an interesting model of how a blockchain should work but I think it is still too early for adoption for a big data project like Biotron. I would rather they customise an existing one and continue to customise.

I'm not in their telegram's channel, can you ask if they 're planning to develop an internal exchange as well? I think that could be important
What do you mean internal exchange . Like trading assets and items ? Or fiat conversion I think he meant a trading platform more in the line of a marketplace.

No idea in Asia there are not very much streaming service available, isn't Netflix operating there as well?  NETFLIX and Amazon but NETFLIX is struggling to get the numbers up because of lack of payment options. But Cryptoflix is a different kind of platform, plus, it has the option of investing in film production. While the mode of operations may be different, it still is essentially a content delivery platform. Therefore, the comparison.

my only hope is to see that the whole cryptomarket regulates himself again and we will see an increase in the whole marketcap, otherwise even good project like these will have a hard time afterwards.
Yes, the last bull run has shown alot of bad things about crypto. New investors will only flock in when there is trust that you don't get scammed. Definitely the market right now is a little bit bearish, but I'm optimistic this project will flourish in time. I completely agree with you. Now is not the best time for altcoins. However, this is temporary, soon everything will grow in price. it's a good time to buy if you aren't skittish. the coins will grow in time but it will take months to recover. Market will return to the price that was in January, it's just a matter of time - such fluctuations are necessary, now is better time for investment. Weak hands now suffer, they are forced to sell what they have, and this is not the best strategy. Trends are that even with the return of bull, we are seeing sell off in crypto-currency https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0vpj4_bI believe in an upward growth soon, for sure we will have a return of prices, there was a sudden high that surpassed the expectations at the end of the year, for that reason there are still corrections. independent of the trends of new users to CryptoWorld is large and growing. projects like Ehealth have the potential to contribute much to this That is an optimistic point of view. It will return eventually, but perhaps a lot slower than you can imagine. Their's heightened scrutiny on all fronts at the moment from the governments and regulators. My fear is that the whole eco-system be reigned in by regulation. it won't. now that the big players are getting in on the action you can expect them not wanting regulation. It's going to be a difficult fight for control. In some countries now, banks have specifically decline any transaction that has to do with cryptos, with the blessing of their govts.

My two cents for Biotron developing its own blockchain and customizing it accordingly as we go.

I wonder why people aren't seeing the value and potential in Sphere Social platform. The team has a lot planned out for the project. I'm afraid the poor funding might hamper the progress of the project. The team would need huge funds for marketing if they want to be of interest to users of existing social networks. Anybody knows If the project will continue regardless of how much is raised?
Social media is a common niche, and there are a lot of competitors, so this is actually a tough competition and i hope the sphere team have planned some good new innovation and ideas for the platform. We cant expect there will be many people come when sphere's progress is still small and its still a basic social media. But they already hit the softcap anyway. Well the future will show if they can get a major share. At least in crypto they will have good chances but for the regular users we will have to wait if the word will spread enough. Social Media is a saturated market whether it is done through a blockchain or not. Even Facebook is losing users in drove. If Sphere doesn't pitch more on the virtue of their trading platform, it will not gain too much momentum. To attract new users you have to come up with something unique and be one step ahead of everyone. That is unfortunately true. But facebook and Instagram for example are losing people, especially professionals, because they change the algorithm too often. This could be a chance. I do hope Sphere team will develop some kind of killer features and make it big and go mainstream!  We are yet to see any killer feature right now seeing from the current platform except that it works.

Thats great for the user but how do you insure the income for the company? Its not like that workers or the serverfarm wont cost any money.
I can understand your view and respect your vision but there is a little problem in there, the people you are trying to reach had very little money or not have any money at all. So it would be hard for them to pay your fee.
If they start business in Asia they could limit their server farm to Asia as well so that it doesn't cost much. Most businesses start with losses though. It may take some time to attract enough users. Of course, there would be ways and not every people in this countries are amazingly poor but still, it is a tough crowd and it would be hard to convince them. If the price-quality balance will be convenient and acceptable, it's not very hard to make people buy the products or services. The only problem is that in some countries people did just not get used to paying for such stuff at all. That's what they need market research for. But the team seems to be pretty determined about starting in under developed countries, so I assume they've done their research and they know what they are doing. Some companies or startups are budgeting losses at the beginning of their project, maybe cryptoflix team budgeted the same. losses at the beginning. Perhaps, that's the way to go. Yet, in Asia you have a good number of bankable population. Although it isn't as homogenized as America, asia wide popularity of Korean and recently Filipino movies, not to forget Bollywood is an indication of the potential CRYPTOFLIX sees. The Team made an excellent choice on the Asian Continent, there is great potential and more and more professionals are struggling to join the new era. I hope that the emergence and growth in new Continents will be rapid I think that thre's a big potential in Asia for this kind of platform because there's a great film industry in some countries that can be exploited. Many people always mean many opportunities. Orienting to Asia is a good step in gaining the primary target audience for the project. Also the fact that there are less competition in Asia for streaming services is strategically prudent. You don't wanna bleed out fighting for market share.

Does they keep In confidentially our own data? (like name, second name, own info from social network)?
During the final stages of us processing your data, we are going to anonymize it. That means this sort of information will not be present in the final analyzed data batch that we are going to be selling. So you don´t have to worry. When you say 'anonymize', do you mean all personal data like age, sex, location will be removed from the equation or do you mean, it will be anonymized on the count that it will remove the name and be clubbed along with data from other people into a category of people? Probably just name and surname will be removed, because such factors as sex and age are usually pretty significant in various researches. I think so! Age and sexuality will be very important things in analysis. Moreover, if most data will be removed, how can we make an analysis. I see no problem with age and sex, if name and adress is anonymized. And for statistics age and sex are very important. While that is not an issue, what I am wondering is the method of collection. Does Biotron provide a platform with sets of questionnaire for a particular study or like facebook, just lift the data and user stats? Both are voluntary but one is more tacit while the other is passive.

The market for personal data built on a blokcheyn is a new and good idea. I think now people will be able to use their data in social networks to profit from it. Tell me how an ordinary person can profit from your Biotron project if he gives you his personal data?
Any ordinary person generates a lot of data while browsing the net. That data is used by big companies to customize their ad marketing strategy to you, and you get nothing out of it. With Biotron, you are able to decide how much and what kind of data you want to sell, and based on that, you will recieve revenue, as we will take and analyze your data, to then sell to companies looking for such data. Is there any competition? Some big companies probably have some departments or people doing exactly this, no? There are a few but biotron has a bit edge over them. So, the chances of success are pretty high. Are there companies who sells analyzed data packs? I thought there are mostely raw data sellers. Some do. These are usually to augment a study on macro level of things.
