1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Collabs - Decentralized collaboration driven by professional communilty on: January 09, 2018, 10:05:46 AM
Guys, I glanced at your paper and saw that you have two different tokens. Can you clarify the use of both?

Both tokens have incentive value. Combination of liquid ABC and non-transferable EXP tokens will motivate all members to be active and behave professionally. It will solve two main problems of the community: content quality and sustainable expansion.

ABC is an openly tradable utility token. We will issue a limited number of it. The token will be used as a payment option for collaborations. Also, all protocol fees will be paid in ABC, i.e. fees for profile attestation, contract completion, raising disputes or using the API. We issue it to economically motivate the network effect and ensure steady growth of the system. The token distribution model will give first members strong incentives to join and start using Collabs. We will give ABC grants to attract members whose work is recognized and respected, which will further increase the network effect and total value of Collabs.

EXP is the Expertise token, we introduce it to drive professional behavior. It will serve as a quantitative measurement of users’ expertise and reputation. EXP is a part of incentive mechanism that is presented on the platform. EXP cannot be bought, it can be only earned for positive actions in Collabs.



Okay, I get it with the first one. Though I have a trouble understanding the second one. What do you mean by positive actions?


We consider positive actions that lead to the growth of the network and reputation of users. For example contributing to a task, paying for a fulfilled task, inviting new members, who contributed to a task or paid for its completion.

I see this project very promising. The view on the announcement thread looks very fancy and very interesting. but unfortunately this project still looks very calm. You have to do something to make this project look more alive.

Well, we have just announced and I hope that soon it won't be so calm.
Thanks for your opinion and comment.

There's a lot of information, but I'm still very vague about this project. can you describe it in a common and brief description


Hello. Thank you for your interest.

Collabs protocol allows all sorts of organizations to integrate decentralized components of collaboration assessment. It provides trustworthy information about potential partners, quality expertise attestation, and dispute resolution mechanism. Collabs motivates professional behavior even under incomplete contracts and significantly reduces the transaction costs of cooperation and builds trust within the network. Every organization can use the protocol or its stand-alone components for their specific purposes, such as building higher trust. We envision this protocol being integrated into a variety of applications. It could serve as a base for expertise verification on various job sites and portfolio services. It could also be integrated into freelance marketplaces to objectively resolve disputes, into corporate CRM systems to incentivize professional behavior among employees or to involve outsource specialists in single-time tasks. The protocol is applicable in every case where it’s essential to  guarantee the validity of information about a potential partner, or there’s a need for a mechanism protecting all parties from opportunistic behavior.

Collabs platform is a dAPP based on our protocol. It is the interface to all main functionalities of the protocol in a form of web and mobile applications. The platform provides access to instruments and tools for collaboration and project development: network of top-notch contributors, tools to find partners and collaborate effortlessly, and integrated mechanisms enabling transparency and trustworthiness.
It provides user-friendly interface for diverse collaboration scenarios and enables all sorts of collaborations even among people and companies without deep blockchain knowledge.

More detailed information you can find at our site, blueprint and one pager.

  Collabs

 Decentralized Collaboration System Driven by Professional Community




We introduce a global, decentralized protocol and platform for collaboration.

Evolution of humankind is the evolution of collaboration. All significant achievements of humanity throughout history, whether it's building the pyramids or sending humans into space, have been based not on individual abilities, but on the ability to cooperate flexibly in large numbers.




Problem
There are fundamental problems of collaboration that come from market inefficiencies
and create transaction costs.


Asymmetry of information; search and information costs.
In most cases, parties have incomplete and asymmetric information about each other. It is time-consuming and requires significant resources to search professionals, collect reliable information, and verify information regarding their expertise.
Measurement costs & incomplete contracts.
Sometimes, it’s impossible to define unspecifiable contract requirements and difficult to determine if the product or service fulfills contract requirements. Due to imprecise performance measurement parties are unable to articulate realistic and detailed contract terms in advance.
Enforcement & conflict resolution costs.
Recourse to court is very expensive and time-consuming. For a big number of contracts, it does not make economic sense to resolve conflicts via court.

All of these create a low level of trust among the companies, teams, and individuals which did not work previously together.



Solution
A layer of professional expertise powered by Ethereum and IPFS.


Collabs protocol
Сombines blockchain technologies with a cooperation ruleset to create a trustful environment for any sort of collaborations and reduce transaction costs.
Collabs platform
The first decentralized application based on our protocol. Provides user-friendly interface for diverse collaboration scenarios and enables all sorts of collaborations even among people and companies without deep blockchain knowledge.
                                 



Collabs Protocol
The Collabs protocol allows all sorts of organizations to integrate decentralized components of collaboration assessment. It provides trustworthy information about potential partners, quality expertise attestation, and dispute resolution mechanism. Collabs motivates professional behavior even under incomplete contracts and significantly reduces the transaction costs of cooperation and builds trust within the network. This way it enables all parties to cooperate freely and securely beyond borders.


Here are main components of the protocol:

  • Collaboration passport
To enable transparency and validity of information to secure effective collaboration, we use Ethereum blockchain along with BigchainDB and decentralized file system IFPS to store and distribute collaboration data. Each member will have a “collaboration passport”, which will include information about all actions done in the system: collaborations, reviews, dispute resolution results, expertise assessment. It’s critical that our users will own their data and will be able to transfer it between services.
  • Attestation
We build our network around the principles of professional expertise. So we need to validate members’ experience and knowledge in their chosen fields before they can participate in the collaborations and vote on cases in their expertise areas. For this, we create an autonomous and scalable process of attestation of new users’ expertise. It will allow users to transfer off-chain expertise and achievements into the system.
  • Contract
When two parties of collaboration agree on the terms, the contract is fixed in Ethereum blockchain. The funds promised in the contract are sent to escrow. The contract fee allows making  a new entry in the blockchain. After the contributor performed the work, the initiator can either accept or reject it. When the work is accepted, the funds from escrow automatically go to the contributor. Otherwise a dispute can be arised.
  • Dispute mechanism
In the vast majority of cases we expect that collaboration parties will reach a consensus on their own. However, we need to design a reliable dispute mechanism for the minority of cases where the consensus between the parties was not reached. As many tasks require certain level of expertise we allow only members with comparable experience in the field to judge the case. At the same time, in order to limit opportunistic behaviour, each dispute has a dispute price and each expert’s decision on the dispute influences his expertise level. This way we strive to create objective and transparent dispute mechanism.
  • Incentive mechanism
One of the primary purposes of the network is to make it economically viable for all members to perform professionally. To align incentives to behave professionally among all network participants we introduce the Expertise (EXP) token. EXP drives professional behavior and serves as a quantitative measurement of users’ expertise and reputation. It cannot be bought or transferred, and incorporates all works a user performed and all decisions she or he made.
  • API — Foundation for collaborative apps
Collabs API enables developers to integrate decentralized collaborative components and build new products on the basis of the protocol to further enhance collaboration process.

The protocol is intended to be flexible and extensible. The network members can propose a new approach for protocol mechanics and vote for their implementation. This policy helps to eliminate possible inefficiencies and improve mechanics with time.
By the beginning of our token generation event we will provide an extended list of possible applications and disclose early partners who will use our protocol.




Collabs Platform


The platform provides access to instruments and tools for collaboration and project development: network of top-notch contributors, tools to find partners and collaborate effortlessly, and integrated mechanisms enabling transparency and trustworthiness. Here are some its features:

Collaboration catalog
To make it easy to find relevant partners with required expertise, we will create visual profiles with complete information about participants, including portfolios and reviews.

Collaboration passports
All projects, members, and tasks will be required to create collaboration passports with history of all collaborations verified in blockchain. Members themselves will manage accessibility of their passports. Every open passport will be accessible to all members of the network and transferable to services outside our application.

Wizards and tools:
  • Passports wizard
  • Collaboration planning and tracking wizard
  • Token generation wizard
  • Attestation interface
  • Dispute resolution wizard




ABC token
Along with expertise and reputation assessment, we need a liquid asset which would be used as a payment method for system services or as one of the payment options for collaborations.
ABC will also be used as a reward for the services rendered by the user to the system itself (see below). ABC will be introduced as a pure utility token and will be openly tradable.

Guys, what's happening with your ICO, why is only 260 ETH raised? 10 days passed, do you think this is too low?

Yeah ive invested too, however they did raise; and i quote:

''During the Pre-ICO, Confideal planned on raising 600,000 USD through the sale of 6 million CDL tokens at a rate of 1ETH per 1,000 CDL. The company quickly filled ICO orders, raising a total of 650,000 USD.''

https://coinidol.com/confideal-ico-should-not-be-ignored/

Yeah, they raised indeed, but what's happening now? Don't you think its quite strange they raised 600K and now nothing?
Also, does anyone know, is there a pre-sale contract address to check?
14  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cryptocurrency Resources List (109+ links) on: November 14, 2017, 03:37:43 PM
Here's a list of top 20 ICO lists by similarweb audience. Top has 18M, lowest 100K mau. Can be useful as well.
Respect for the post. Very useful information


Nice to hear! You can PM me for some more resources or lists if you need.
15  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: All exchanges are not created equal - Kraken & Bittrex & ? on: November 14, 2017, 03:27:41 PM
Bittrex is not accepting Fiat, that is why sometimes rates can differ, because people do not have this much BTC to buy, for example.

Also, of course, prices may be slightly differ depending on people who are trading there. The persons who usually equalise the prices are called arbitragers. They see the price difference, and quickly buy on one market and sell on another. When there are many people doing this, the two prices equalise. This happens on non-crypto markets too.


That they don't have fiat isn't the reason for the difference i think. Bittrex offers trading in USDT aswell ( USD$ in Tether.)

Has more to do with actual volume, and just the supply x/ demand and, as a result arbitrage.

Yeah, maybe you're right, but volume and demand themselves depend on the ability to 'import' fiat, I can suppose.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Confideal's ICO is not going well on: November 14, 2017, 02:59:14 PM
Yeah, that's really strange.
Maybe they are not buying any traffic on their website, hoping it will be all organic?
Can't think of something else...

Etherscan shows 225 real transactions, summing up only to 260 ETH...


Really strange

Hello!

How are you planning to compete with current telecom operators, who are trying to lower the prices as mush as they can, especially in developing countries?

Thanks
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Brickblock - diversify your portfolio transparently and secure on: November 14, 2017, 02:25:48 PM
Hello, I have researched your project. The concept with ETFs and REFs is really nice.

I have a question.

As I can see, there are still some grey areas in regulatory aspects.

Can you state in which countries you are fully legal? In which you are planning to expand oficcially and how?

Thank you
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Brickblock - diversify your portfolio transparently and secure on: November 14, 2017, 12:29:42 PM


Agreed.  $4.5m is plenty of money for this concept.  I'm not sure why they had a max cap of $50M.  Probably for the lambos...

The more money a startup like this raises the faster they can expand. Getting global ETFs/Real Estate Funds on your platform from everyone country in the world requires a lot of capital. Also need to keep in mind they are hosting crypto funds which need to be developed. The more capital you have the faster you move, the more you can invest in user acquisition to get things rolling. Even if they were to hit the cap, $50MM is not a lot of money for a platform like this that can have millions of users.
Sure.  I understand this clearly.  But as in Silicon Valley and traditional startup investing, you typically receive investment in stages based upon your growth and traction.  ie. Seed, A, B, etc.
Companies needs to prove their concept and gain traction before receiving large sums of investment money.  And in this case, companies shouldn't be asking for $50M with just a proof of concept and no traction.  Let them use their $4.5M to prove market validation and gain traction.  If you can't build a customer base from that, at least they fail with less investor money risked.
That's true. Ideally, any company that raises money through an ICO would get the funds only if they reach certain milestones. How do you see Brickblock raising more money after they raised the $4.5MM


Moreover, it's usually easier to raise the next round if you've proven the concept, built a prototype, etc.
Raising 50M can me more tough on the early stage, even with milestone-based vesting.
