Which one do you like most - any why?

I vote for number 8 BlockMedx - why? Because I met them in person and really liked the guys and their give-aways - but I have to admit I'm biased as I support that project so it's not a neutral opinion although I'm Swiss

What are you most excited about screening upcoming WANChain based projects and their ICOs? The platform offers a complete new setup and is not allowing any project to take part - what effect will it have on its ecosystem and individual products built on WANChain?

tl;dr:

What we do ?
We are building a secure blockchain based e-prescribing application for doctors to prescribe, pharmacists to fill, and patients to manage their prescriptions. Healthcare providers will be able to view a comprehensive list of prescriptions for their patients, and patients will be able to track and manage their prescriptions in real-time.  Predictive analytics will offer insights in order to catch patients early in their addiction journey, with the goal of preventing issues before they happen.  The MDX token economy will enable a new level of patient engagement incentives to be implemented to incentivize healthy behavior, improve outcomes, and save lives.

Why is it important ?
The current prescription system has many security holes that contribute to prescription forgeries, duplications, and alterations.  Prescription data is silo’ed and inaccessible to parties outside of particular healthcare systems or clinics in many cases as well.  BlockMedx intends to build a system where healthcare provider identities will be secure, prescriptions will be tracked and managed in real time, and patients will be able to manage their prescription records and access like never before.

What makes us unique ?
Our team is lead by healthcare providers that have personally experienced the many flaws of the current prescription system.  We know the pain points experienced by providers and what needs to be done to fix them.  

Current state / Timeline ?
The team has worked for more than a year on the idea and concept of BlockMedx. We're currently pursuing partnerships that will be crucial for a successful market entry and will announce some exciting news on this soon. On the product side, there is already a clickable prototype available and the BlockMedx MVP is scheduled to be released by the end of April/May 2018.

Building a community and getting good quality discussions rolling are some of the key aspects when launching a new blockchain project or token sale IMO. Of course forums like Bitcointalk and Reddit are great places to share ideas and talks but still a project may need a messaging app like Slack, Telegram or Discord. While we had seen a lot of Slack around in the beginning of 2017, Telegram got way more popular in the second half of the year mainly due to misuse and scam attacks in Slack groups. Still, me personally I don't like Telegram too much cause usually it's a mess. In that respect I prefer Slack or Discord as you can split certain topics into different channels. Slack is the most popular app (and as many other companies we're also using it ourselves as the main communication tool), so I would love to suggest Slack for new projects still (I'm advising some in marketing/growth hacking). A good alternative obviously is Discord, even though it's a bit less popular.

What is your opinion, what's the voice of the community? What's a comfortable and effective way of communicating (messaging) for you and what would you appreciate most when checking out a project?

Any arguments and discussions are much appreciated.

Does only the topic/title itself defines how many bitcointalkers view and click on my post (e.g. in Altcoin Disucssions) or does my status influence my post's visibility? I barely get a view and I'm not sure what the reason is. Besides probably that there are hundreds of posts every day and you can get lost quite quickly.

Any tips on how I can get some answers/discussions for topics I post (let's assume they're interesting  )?

Looking closer at the latest trends, not just in price action or trading volume but also throughout the community and all blockchain related channels, we've seen things declining quite steadily. For sure that's only normal after such bullish times still I wonder why even "interest in general" is declining. My guess: Still most people get excited for the price action way more than for the underlying technology and long-term potential. Once price action calms down so does the overall interest of the masses.

Is there good reason to doubt the state of the technology - or in other words, to doubt the potential for mass adoption?

[Especially when investing in token sales with higher hard caps and just low to medium interest, make sure you check what happens to the unsold tokens. You're usually far better off if they get burned. Why? Cause it reduced the circulating supply and even if the project is just low funded at least you keep your fair share in it.]

Each day we're facing more ICOs, token sales, token generating events or whatever you want to name them. It's hard to keep up with them, especially if you're diving more in-depth and do a complete due diligence. "Complete" may not be complete at all but at least to a degree that adds some value to your investment decisions. Coming from traditional startup investing, I've started to focus on tokenomics or "tokenmetrics" more intensively, analyzing the project and token structure from a generic standpoint. No matter if you're looking at traditional businesses and startups or at crypto projects - the structure matters when you're investing. If we're talking about the circulating supply, the token distribution split or whether unsold tokens get burned are just some examples of facts that have a big influence on your potential return.

Anyway, I'm not a self-made expert and I don't want to write a blog post here and give a full picture of what I think may be (most) important but I like to start discussing and sharing some findings and learnings, even if it's just single statements. Let me start with one of those:
