I know a lot of data projects last time (Datum, Datawallet, Essentia, Pickiochain etc). What differents and benefits have this one before competitors?

I have been watching this one for a while and have been wondering about the same question. There was a time when they talked more about their development details. Even then, it was confusing what they were trying to do. Once they were even building a blockchain based social network for insurers (madness). The headline has been a marketplace, which doesn't seem to be what they are doing now. Also interesting comments: https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/ixt/forum/ETH (just checked LinkedIn and they seem to have only 3 developers, and 1 "blockchain dev", more marketing staffs though)

* Time of existence. The longer a crypto currency exists, the less likely it will collapse in the future.

I think there are also coins that have been artificially propped up for a while (especially those don't really need a blockchain). For those, the longer they exist, the more likely they collapse?

So what you're doing is having a hybrid..where some data is on ethereum, but other data is kept on a normal database, and the two meet together in an UI, built on normal application languages (node.js etc).

So the follow on question then would be: what type of backups/redundancy or contingency plans will you have if the ethereum network has issues? For example, bottleneck issues which we've seen recently. If a lot of data is purely on ethereum, and ethereum slows down or has other problems (which is possible because its still a third party and a work-in-progress), companies wont be able to access what they want


They once mentioned a private chain solution, presumably some kind of consortium, like the R3. Not quite sure though, pretty hard to figure out from their updates exactly what they have been doing.
