ICONOMI support WeTrust  nice good

ICONOMI just wrote an article about weTRUST that doesn't guarantee that they will invest in ICO but if they do that would be soo awesome

Good news to hear, although they said to support wetrust project, they still not invest, maybe they are take it into account. No matter they invest or not, we are under ICONOMI's radar, which means this project is OK, and it strengthens our faith.

Oversee the development WeTrust day by day becomes more and more interesting. Project looks well and healthy. ROSCAs autonomous platform will be the engine of development for the WeTrust team. Now it is already clear that we will see a successful ICO, which guarantees us long-term success of the project development and the emergence of new products in this ecosystem.

Seriously, Daniel Zakrisson has written about WeTrust and analyzed some points.


My general conclusion is neutral. I’m positive about the team, product plan and product strategy. But information is lacking and recent major changes and the design choices regarding the token sale structure does imply a focus on short-term thinking and not a focused and well thought out long-term plan.

I would change my conclusion to positive if relevant information is shared regarding the first four points above, and if the team committed to a staged release of funds. For example, a third of the funds are immediately released to the team and when the team needs more funds token holders are given the right to vote against the release of another third of the funds.

Update:
I’ve shared this evaluation with the team around 24 hours before publishing, to give them a chance to comment and correct any errors and oversights on my side. I got news on several updates that are not yet publicly shared regarding the go-to-market strategy, project focus in case it does not reach the full financing and relating to a staged release of funds. If I understand correctly, the whitepaper will be updated and information will be shared by the team soon, and when it is I’ll go back and review my conclusion.

This is not ICONOMI, The article was writing by Daniel Zakrisson and I hope you guys read the disclaimer he put at the top of the article. The issue he raised was my concern too about this project, the go to market strategy, this need to be clear to investors. The only saving grace for this project is the solid and trusted team behind it and this was also mention in the article. I will be expecting a prompt response from the team to this article

Eager to hear how WeTrust team address the 4 points raised by Daniel Zakrisson in his evaluation.
If WeTrust gives some satisfactory reply, this will give a good boost to WeTrust ICO.

Vitalik really? He is a strange/controversial person for me, but there are big money behind him so I believe he wouldn't put his face behind a scam/trustless project. That's another good news for WeTrust.

We will try our best to deliver our roadmap - and I think we will also be able to help the ecosystem as a whole. The Ethereum community has been so helpful to us so far, and we look forward to continue working with everyone.

vitalik is strange/controversial?

he's a genius, unlike most of the clowns in the crypto space.

Vitalik is better than the rest of the advisors there combined.

Very good news.

[xtyling]

The facebook bounty is a lot. 15 shares per week. Cant you guys separate it to like 5 shares, 5 likes, 5 comments as example ?

[s0nix]

Oh, Vitalik Buterin one of your new advisors.
The popularity of WeTrust goes up every day.
That can be a really great ICO in 2017!

I said he is such a person for me (especially for making DAO fork). But I said it's good news for WeTrust because he is a huge brand in crypto and he must use his name only for trusted projects.

@Block_303: Thanks! Hopefully, it is well received by the German community. Please help answer any questions they might have

Currently, the German community is still small. But it will grow over time I'm sure.

And yes of course I will do my best

Yeah, i'm wondering why ETH is still so cheap. This one and dozens of others projects are brilliant!

This project can get a great future, but it also requires the foreign language threads.

@s0nix: Completely agree. We are building something that addresses the needs of the world at large, so it is important that all major languages are covered.
