I finally made and uploaded video about Dmarket:

I like the whole business idea, concept and the team. I see a big need in the gaming industry to projects like that...

[zaphold]

I must say it does seem suspicious. Withholding such important information doesn't really portray the team as very upfront people. The more active projects they have at hand, the less time they'll be able to spend on DMarket, and the potential investors have all the right to know that. Not to mention, for all of you who don't speak Russian, the whole team's names are spelled slightly off: Volodymyr should actually be Vladimir (as in Vladimir Putin, it's the same name), Kokhanovskiy instead of Kokhanovskyy and Andrey instead of Andriy. Could be nothing, but I doubt it was by pure accident. And this Kokhanovskyy "typo" in the other ICO? Fishy.

Hey zaphold, first off, we took the spelling of the names from Volodymyr and Andriy IDs. Both names are spelled in Ukrainian, not Russia, so please bear this in mind

We truly believe that as a persona, interested in innovative projects and ideas, you clearly understand the difference between co-founders and people involved in the actual development of the product. Dmarket is developed by a 100% separate team. We've been answering this some time ago and will show you the whole project's team very soon.
Regarding the involvement of Volodymyr and Alexander in DMarket.
Volodymyr spends 95% of his time on Dmarket. Alexander, however, invests minimum time in DMarket, helping only with the strategic vision.

If you have any other question we'll be happy to answer them!

What is this nonsense. You are saying that you have a 100% separate team hiding away in the background, yet this 100% team does not exist. Why is this 100% team not listed but instead the 100% Dmarket team is listed instead. Your answer does not justify what you list on the dreamteam.gg website. You do not have any advisors listed, you clearly state on the website 'THE TEAM' then list the same faces as you have listed on Dmarket.

Please stop lying to your investors. If you have another team hiding in the background, then list them instead right now.

Jacob, thank you for your prominent interest in our project. We will update the White Paper with new tech details next week. The update will also include the expanded version of the project's team. We're adamant this will change your perception of DMarket. Moreover, the Alpha (test net) version of the product is going to be released before the start of the pre-sale (October 30th). The fully functioning product is to be delivered in Q1 2018.

Here is something everyone should be aware of regarding Dmarket and to think twice before you invest:

This is Dmarket’s main team as found on their official website https://dmarket.io/




Now check this other ICO called DreamTeam https://token.dreamteam.gg/



Anything suspicious here? (Notice how they added an extra Y on 'Alexander Kokhanovsky', using different photos and swapping the heads order) The exact same founding team are in both ICOs 17 Days apart. You may be thinking the other site is a scam? No, they are actually running 2 ICOs using the same team at the same time!

Why would you run 2 ICOs at the same time from the exact same team? There is no logical explanation here apart from trying to extract as much money from people who are not aware of this. Shame on you! At least complete the road map for one of your ICO (which one are you doing?) before starting another!

Yet again you deflect the original questions as noted above and not list the proper team. I'm 100% sure you will not swap out the current team faces with the hidden (non existent) team you keep talking about. You continue to lie and cheat current investors from the required information. You set a hardcap of $75 Million for DreamTeam and what is the Hardcap for Dmarket another $75 Million?

So to conclude the exact same team is running 2 ICOs at the same time, and with a combined hardcap of $150 Million, and you think nothing is wrong with that. Let's even go past these huge red flags, the other huge issue is you promote your token as decentralized when in fact it's highly centralized as reviewed here:

https://blog.icotracker.org/top-10-gaming-cryptocurrencies-ico/

Please provide authentic details about your other team, to state that you will hide the real team till the ICO starts, is exactly what a scam ICO would do. Is Dmarket a scam? Prove us otherwise by showing the real team now!

anyway. keep trying you best! gook luck dev team.

When do we get Dmarket tokens? Contributed in the first phase - August 2017.

[bjumb]

What is the difference between Dmarket and Skincoin ? They both look same.

The guys are trying to run a cryptocurrency startup where it isn’t needed. Everything is working just fine. There are a lot of similar projects aiming to attract attention and investment by juggling such buzzwords as "cryptocurrency," "blockchain," and "eSports."
By creating DMarket, we are solving a different issue. We are founding an ecosystem for trading in-game items from any game and any gaming platform. More than two million gamers will be able to buy, exchange and estimate the cost of their items. Without blockchains, we at DMarket wouldn’t be able to connect thousands of game developers and millions of gaming universes worldwide. This is a brand new cluster of the world economy. Every gamer will become an owner of real assets!

If you think Skincoin doesn't need to be crypto startup, what makes your project so different that you would need to be crypto startup?

And what do you think your main advantages over other competition are. Like WAX for example.

Quote from your website:

To resolve the problem we are using decentralized database on blockchain.

Could you explain how will you host a database on blockchain?

Hi s@t0sh!,

All of the tokens will be distributed right after the end of the second token sale - 17th November. Stay tuned!

Hey bjumb! First off, thanks for asking questions! Those ones are very interesting and we hope that our answer will clear things out for all the investors.

Let us start with the first one:

"what makes your project so different that you would need to be crypto startup?"

We have a completely different business model: DMarket is a whole a new platform that opens up a lot of opportunities for both businesses and gamers.
We're in talks with major world game developers and publishers in a bid to allow gaming industry (gamers being a top priority, of course) to trade items from different games effectively. With our API, publishers can actually transfer virtual items to the blockchain, which make you OWN those items. Most of the time, gamers don't exactly own items earned playing their favorite games. There's always a third party that sets rules of trading for all the gamers.
When the game developer adds our API to a certain game title, in-game items become real, meaning a gamer can exchange, trade or evaluate the price of the item.

Having that in mind, we're building our own marketplace, where players can exchange and sell in-game items BETWEEN different games freely. Let's say you want a new armor for your tank and are willing to sell or exchange some skins from your favorite MOBA. On DMarket, you can do this almost in one click.

As true proponents of decentralization and the spirit of the free market, we're going to open our API to other trading platforms, so they can benefit from our technology as well. Gaming community, however, will benefit the most: with us, you will own your items. No ifs and buts.

Last but not least: we will also offer our API to literally any marketplace out there. Just imagine the world where you can trade your sword on Amazon, eBay or taobao, while getting anything from real life: new gaming peripherals, cloth, anything. Truth be told, this is our ultimate goal.


"And what do you think your main advantages over other competition are..."
We don't compare ourselves to any other project. Facts work for us.
If you're wondering, what makes DMarket solid:
1. DMarket is created for the gaming community, that’s why we're selling 85% of the total amount of tokens. Other projects usually sell up to 50% of the total amount of tokens, which give them tools to control the market and the investors.
2. We do not offer any discounts or bounties, treating each investor equally. Numerous ICO projects, on the other hand, use the following token sales to cover discounts given during presales.
3. Most and foremost we already have a fully functioning blockchain, the Alpha and testnet versions will be released in the following days (before October 30th).
4. Some projects that find themselves as our competitors, won't be able to deliver, as it is technologically impossible to bring their ideas to life as of now.

Could you explain how will you host a database on blockchain?"
Do you mean the database we use in the node? If yes, then we are using levelDB and will transfer on rocksDB.

Thank you for answers. It's mostly what I already read in the whitepaper. But your answers don't explain why you think you need to use cryptocurrency, blockchain and ICO financing, while you think your competition doesn't. Correct me if I'm wrong but everything you describe could be accomplished without using blockchain. I understand using blockchain and colleting funds the ICO way is more convenient for your project aswell as for competition. So I don't think it's fair stating they don't need cryptocurrency, but your project does.

1. It's not true most other ICO's sell just up to 50% tokens. Almost no ICO does that. They tend to sell 60% or more.

4. 90% projects won't be able to deliver. That's true for any startup not just blockchain startups using ICO funding.

3. Do you have any documentation on your blockchain we could look at? What consensus will it use?

So every node will also have a role of database server? That makes more sense. I understood your quote from the website as you were saying you are going to store data on the blockchain. Because blockchains aren't suitable for storing large amounts of data. How do you intend to achieve decentralization of the database? How many nodes will host the database and who will be able to run the nodes?

[aieonajx]

Why do many projects have a relationship with decentralization? Game + decentralized how to understand?

[OZmaster]

So is Dmarket so to say unleashing the investment potential of in-game digital assets? So is it like people who play different games can acquire an asset for one game via the platform while selling an asset of another game they play? I am not really a game player, but I can imagine that there is a market for that.

[ybopkiwj]

Decentralized cross-game market concept is too advanced, can not be achieved at present, the block chain game with the entity is difficult

[manache]

this is like game in a game ,,, its to difficult to understand for people not so well in crypto, commonly game must easy to click , buy and play..

Hi OZmaster! This sums up pretty much what we want to do. One thing to be added: we want every gamer to actually OWN their in-game items. Currently, you have a very limited number of options on what to do with your virtual assets. With DMarket you will be able to trade and exchange your items on any platform, that uses our API.

The market is huge as of now, but only 6% of gamers can trade items. We want to change this!

[D_market]

this is like game in a game ,,, its to difficult to understand for people not so well in crypto, commonly game must easy to click , buy and play..

Manache, for casual gamers it won't be a big deal. We're going to show our Alpha and testnet version in a few days and you will see, that what we're offering is almost a one-click trade. Stay tuned!

[The Crypto Peasant]

i investing during the first sale. and considering how fast that sold put and the team behind the project. this is one i have lots of faith in.

also with the gaming industry being bigger then the movoe industry its about time someone is monetizing in game content

good luck
