The launch will happening in the coming hours via the official Telegram group, Twitter account and Medium Blog:
https://t.me/alephim
https://twitter.com/aleph_im
https://medium.com/aleph-im

Aleph.im’s mission is to help decentralized apps and protocols strip off the centralized parts of their stack, achieving a fully decentralized architecture. It achieves this by providing decentralized databases (including file storage), computation and a decentralized identification (DID) framework. You can think of aleph.im as a decentralized AWS or firebase.

Aleph.im is already compatible with Ethereum, Polkadot, Cosmos, BinanceChain and more. With this launch it will be able to accommodate larger DApps (i.e. NFT-related DApps needing a lot of storage space for their NFT Metadata).

Aleph.im did not do an ICO, nor any private sale round or such. You can see the project's track record, and future roadmap on the medium blog, twitter and website.


Nuf said. For all those interested to stake or run a node, here is an article series to get you started:

Cheerio!

Hey themaxx, any new investments in sight?

Coinfirm didn't do well

Hi everyone!

I've been spending quite some time working on these 2 tasks:

Santiment review (5min read): https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ipa-news/santiment-review-usdsan-5min-read
The review is fairly exhaustive, it'll probably clarify a few points for most of you.

Santiment CEO interview podcast (40min): https://soundcloud.com/user-720012704/santiment-ceo-interview-by-adrien-berthou-of-ipa-news
The interview is pretty interesting too, nice to hear what the boss has to say

Cheerio

Hey guys!
I just published one of the first reviews about Consensus AI on https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ipa-news/consensus-ai-review-usdsen-5min-read
Feedback welcome

PikcioChain ICO overview I just posted on https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ipa-news/pikciochain-review-usdpkc-5min-read

Short enough but quality content: research and fact checking was done by directly contacting team and going through white paper, website, blog, etc.

PikcioChain ICO. I think this project is really worth a look.
Some big partners: NEO, OnChain, CapGemini, Ernest&Young, PwC.
The project's main product is well on its way, the company us already profitable with BNP (French Bank) as one of the clients.

You can find a short but quality review I just posted on https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ipa-news/pikciochain-review-usdpkc-5min-read

Bonjour à tous,

Comme le dit le titre: quels sont vos influenceurs crypto Francophone préféré ?

Je suis nouveau dans la communauté FR, donc j'essaie de me mettre à jour (je ne suis pas débutant).

Bye

Hey guys, I just posted a "5min read" overview of the CardStack project. It's short enough, but pretty dense. Enjoy https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ipa-news/cardstack-ico-review-usdcard-5-min-read

Note: the ICO's "Batch B" is launching in a few hours (March 6th, 2018 at 13:00 CET)

Hey guys, here is a quick overview of Atlas.work ICO ($WORK) I think is worth sharing with your community.

This is not financial advice, do your due diligence before investing. And mind the scammers: they are particularly active in the field of ICOs.

Note that Atlas.work ($WORK) and WorkCoin ($WRK) are different projects. It seems that WorkCoin is trying to steal Atlas.work's idea, c.f. https://twitter.com/AtlasWorkCoin/status/968209697017917447

* Goal
    * An autonomous and decentralised freelancing platform
    * Aims to disrupt freelancing platforms.
    * The main limitations that dissuade freelancer engagement from traditional freelancing platforms: heavy service fees (10-20%) and delayed compensation.
    * Atlas has tiny fees
        * 2 USD for the freelancer
        * or no fee at all if transaction done with WORK token
    * Atlas provides immediate withdrawals of compensation.

    * ATLAS wallet & ATLAS digital asset exchange
        * conduct transactions in various crypto-currencies
        * however, decided not to support USDT (for now at least)

    * Built-in secure peer-to-peer communication system and file sharing capabilities
    * Ranking system for users
    * Career Guidance
        * via Machine Learning & a virtual assistant
            * "refined data-analysis system to pin-point the exact needs for clients and freelancers”

I agree, the whole "circulating supply" topic is a mess. And most investors do not know about that until the day they want to run analysis on ICOs or any other analysis that needs historical data.

Token distribution is the base so I would expect a website or sort of organization dedicated to this task.

----

Here is the real question to which I think the answer is "No":

Is there any website dedicated to tracking history of circulating tokens of any coin?

Ideally, for each time a crypto has tokens added or removed to its circulating amount, we'd want to know:

• amount
• exact date
• sent to whom (even if burnt, we want the address)

A “proof” for each change (coins added/removed to circulation) should be provided from an official source: official website, blog, twitter, blockchain explorer, email from team, else. This is a very important point because we have seen in several instances that data shown on CoinMarketCap is incorrect.

----

Here is the simplified version of the above question to which I think the answer is again "No":

Is there any website dedicated to tracking amount of distributed tokens of any coin?

Ideally, for each coin:

• init circulation - along with proof
• current circulation - along with proof
• total supply - along with proof

“along with proof” means an official source: official website, blog, twitter, blockchain explorer, email from team, else. This is a very important point because we have seen in several instances that data shown on CoinMarketCap is incorrect.

----

Thanks in advance for helping the community sort that out. We desperately need higher quality in the crypto data we all access.

So it looks like there is a discount for the Colu Local Network ($CLN) token sale. I read the white paper and the token sale paper and nothing was mentioned about that.

That "could" be ok if some sort of explanation was given and if this was not "spontaneously" proposed by a team member of the Colu project. On top of that, she was pushing for my contribution, acting like a salesman.

I've analysed and seen many things in the ICO field. But that's the first time I see this. My interpretation is rather negative so I'll stay away from the project.

See the screenshots of the conversation with the sales person from Colu.

Where did you get this information? I can't find this on the website nor on the white paper

Hi everyone


My team and I just published two articles about QUOINE:

1. QUOINEX exchange review in detail https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ipa-news/quoinex-exchange-review-in-detail

2. QASH analysis in detail https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ipa-news/liquid-qash-analysis-in-detail-usdqash


Note: we (IPA News) are completely independent, we do NOT work for Quoine nor are we chasing bounties.

Cheers

This totally makes sense. Not being able to extract trading reports of quality is a huge turn down for many of us.

Please plan this for the next improvements. Thank you Quoine team.

We just published what is probably the most in-depth analysis of the Liquid Qash project (of Quoine Pte Ltd). Ticker: $QASH

The analysis goes through: the team, the organization behind it, the other projects, the advisors, the tech, the ICO, the marketing, and so on.

https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@ipa-news/liquid-qash-analysis-in-detail-usdqash

QASH, as of now (mid Jan 2018), is on the 46th position on CoinMarketCap, valued at approx. 700 million USD - it somehow flew under the radar of most crypto investors.

Please share & vote up
