1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: the future of TRIG on: October 13, 2017, 03:06:39 PM
I would stay away from TRIG. I invested in it until I did further research. The founder is pretty much the only one person running the project. Everyone else is just an advisor or graphic designer. There are no developers in sight.

The founder himself is toxic, in my opinion. Earlier this week I asked in the TRIG topic why the official TRIG (@Blocksafe)-account was tweeting about chemtrails:

What's the deal with all the chemtrail posts on the official @Blocksafe Twitter?

That post got deleted by Blocksafe within a day. Note that I didn't say anything offensive, I was just asking a question about their own tweets. They're basically censoring their own content.

This smells extremely fishy. Invest at your own risk but I would advise against it.

Check out Julian some more, he is part of the biggest telco in Belgium, operating an extensive IoT network and they are actively brokering data already and looking for this solution to push it to a new level.

Thanks for pointing that out, I can see how Proximus might find it interesting - https://eurocomms.com/industry-news/11968-proximus-starts-selling-customer-data-reports-for-700-a-time

Yet, I am puzzled how it translates to the platform. Let's take this Proximus case for example. Your white paper states that sensor owners will be directly remunerated when their data is bought. Does this mean that actual phone owners will profit directly from Databroker DAO? The whitepaper mentions that the average sensor has a value of ~12 USD per year. You based your ICO token value on that number. With 14 sensors in the average smartphone, that would mean that a single phone would be good for about $168 worth of sensor data per year. Granted, not all sensors would be useful or equally interesting to be traded, but still, it's a large amount.

And besides phone owners, will car owners, smart TV viewers, home automation owners profit directly? And will all of them need a wallet and a Managed Identity Contract, as your whitepaper mentions? I'm genuinely curious. If the general public is going to benefit directly from Databroker DAO, that would make the scope and scale of it all massively different than when the benefits reach no further than data harvesters like Proximus, Volkswagen, Samsung and Google. Could you elaborate on this please?

What happens on Stratis? Some bad news or only panic sell?

Stratis broke through a major long term support line around 97K which triggered a lot of stop losses and caused panic sells.

I like the idea but imho it's a red flag that there are no people with a background as information broker on the team or in the advisory board. It seems everyone is a crypto enthusiast but no one involved has thorough experience in the data selling/gathering area. How do we know you guys have what it takes no not only build the tech part, but also make it successful?
