If I understand the concept right. GZP, GZG and GZS are backed up by real precious metals which means anyone that hold 1 of those tokens also own amount of real metals. I think this would be good for crypto project for this space because we need a stable asset convert our crypto into it instead of Tether. Having that said, that's kinda business required transparency and regulation, otherwise it would be just a questionable like other stable coins.

It's old post but I think a lot of newcomers will read it because they have same question. Let me tell that 100$ in crypto space worth nothing, it would just amount of money that you can use to learn how to trade in real life, in most case you end up losing that 100$.
I think what matter for you as newbie is the knowledge, the more knowledge and experience you get, the more income you get, So try first to spend time on learning about crypto, trading etc

Coinmarketcap is place to check price ! no more. you want announcement and update, follow their blog on this link https://skrumble.network/blog/. As I mentioned before there is weekly update on everything even airdrop and bounty.  Projects need visitors to their website that why they prefer to make it on their blog, plus they post it as reply here only few people will see that reply.

At current time the price of ethereum is around 200$, therefore 1k $ is far away to hit at the end of 2018 even if the market in somehow convert into bull trend, plus most people will focus on trading bitcoin instead of altcoins. So it will not be enough volume for ethereum.
For now, we are in bearish trend and the trend is our friend.

For Influencers that will build communities ( channels ) on Ally, Yes they will earn tokens from their subscribes, but as user, you're the one that will pay using SKM tokens to unlock features and get services on the app. So it's not completely free which got me thinking how the hell on earth people will prefer to use this app instead fully free product like telegram, whatssapp etc. I really don't thing that being decentralized is enough. Anyway I'm still waiting the final version to see how this is different from others dApp that could persuade mass customers to use it.

They actually have weekly update on their blog with videos where they talk on last things they made. In last article and video they mentioned some interesting stuff like launching VIP levels for SKM token holders in Ally dApp which allows tokens holders to receive discounts and extra rewards when using the app depending on how much tokens they hold.
Also new feature will be adding to the app like Premium Channels that allows Influencers to build communities on Ally and receive tokens from every user who subscribes to their channel.

If you want to participate in beta testing to get reward, you should not download it from the public link on the website, there is a specific telegram room called SN beta testing  ( https://t.me/SNBetaTesting ), admin there will give link to it. Anyway, I am not sure if they are still offering rewards for this job, So you will better if you ask them by yourself on that group.

Yes we all know the price of bitcoin affects directly other cryptocurrency, however predicting the price direction of bitcoin in last week was hard because we were in flat trend and the price could have moved up or down. For SKM is not yet a coin, it's till just a token built on ethereum.

SKM price followed other tokens and went down -12% due Ethereum crash, It seems that bearish trend will take more time before we can see the light. At this time, most altcoins seems dead, but I think is a good time to accumulate them at low price and wait for uptrend.

I think they already published an article on their masternode. the number of SKM tokens a community member will need to have to host a masternode is 500,000 SKM which is equal to 3361 Dollar according to current price (1 SKM = $0.006723). Also you need to be selected because there are limited slots.

Yep. This one of the disadvantages, it uses pre-selected validators which make it less decentralized, however it suits small and medium businesses, because creating a blockchain with POW or PoS is very expansive and requires lot of resource to keep the blockchain running.

It stands for " proof of authority " which is a consensus mechanism for blockchain and an alternative for proof of work, proof of stake. There are many companies that used like Ripple.  If you are interested in understanding the concept deeply, just search for it on youtube, there are some cool video about the subject.

I think there is no return on holding their token, it made in first place to act like utility token to unlock premium features on Dapp and also to reward active users on the platform. In term of investing, you need to set up a masternode when they launch their blockchain, or trade it on exchanges like other coins and tokens.

Just to be fair here, they was clear that this is just centralized temporary version and it's not perfect and that the server will be down many times. The reason why they released it is to get feedback and fix errors in order to make decentralized version. So if you was expecting a ready app that could immediately be use to chat with friend, then you misunderstand. I also think is waste of money to make this centralized version well designed when it is just a temporary one.

So basically, Ally is an app like whatsapp and Telegram but it's going to be decentralized dApp which mean no one can access to user's data even governments and that would be sounds good for people who care about privacy. However I am sure how much the Dapp will be friendly to use for normal users, I checked the beta version, but it's just a centralized version and I can't judge base on it.

For the team members, the links to their profiles can be found on first page of this thread, some of them have appeared on conferences, check their videos on youtube. The project located in U.S.
For your last question, Dispatch is launching the network with a genesis of 18 billion Divvies ( native token for their blockchain ), for more information, read the whitepaper.

He meant information about the investors in project order for him to keep following this project, but DISPATCH LABS hasn't yet start any ICO to collect money, their main focus in current time is on developing their blockchain and protocol.

The list doesn't contain links to your partners websites, So I suggest you to add them in order to make it more professional and also to save people time, because it took me some time to google each one of them.

I checked, nice work, it summarized all aspects of the project in few pages makes it easy for nontechnical people to get overview on what services DISPATCH provides which are on-chain that allows to create smart contract and Dapp and off-chain that allows to store large data like media files etc...

Ethereum's price crashed in first place because of ICOs companies that dumped their ETH asset in exchange, especially those ETH competitors that used ether as tool to raised money even though their products made to compete with ethereum. Now they're hurting ETH price and in the same time secure their money, but a result of that most people lost trust in ICOs which make it hard to newcomers like CIERVO.
