[ANN][ICO] 🌟🌟 Datum - Unlock the Bln $$ Data Economy - ICO 29th October - 🌟🌟

[niklasmato]

How will you convince users to sell their data to anyone? I know most of the companies sell my data but that happens in the background and I don't know about that.
WHy would I sell my data to anyone?

For money Also i the future selling your data can become useful for your own convenience. Example, you dont know what to eat, but your refrigerator knows everything in your fridge and what you ate the past 1-2 weeks. You upload your fridge data to a cooking receipt app, that can suggest meals you can make with the stuff you have in your fridge and is divers from anything you ate that week.

Just one example of the many applications possible with data

Well, its your own choice.
You want to give it for free or sell it for money?

I can think of many use cases where i would sell my data, and use it to my own advantage to make life easier, like the example i stated before

Well, I am a privacy-oriented person and I don't want to sell my data but, I can't stop facebook and twitter to sell my data because I need them. Not sure what will be datum's pitch to convince me. Just money is not enough. If they could cut down the fb, twitter etc. that would be nice.

Just to take your example of facebook and twitter. If they collect your personal data to sell them and you don't want to relinquish them, why not take what Datum offers and make money with that data. With using facebook you already gave up your privacy so why not benefit from it.

In an ideal world, probably i would never sell my data. But in this one, they are already taking it for free without asking me. If i am already giving away for free, if i have some chance, i would definitely get some money for it.

Yeah that's exactly what I mean. If you have to give away your personal data anyway, you should at least try to get some sort of reward for it!

Well most free services we use today, facebook, twitter, gmail, etc all use our data and sell it to make money for themselves. All these 'free' applications are really not free at all. They all make a shitload of money on us. That's why I think datum will be a success. We can claim our data back and decide to sell it and make some money on our own.

I don't think that's actually the case. I've seen a screenshot of apple health kit data on the website. But it's just to show you that this data can be sold imho. Datum isn't a health tracker at all.

Great, you have prepared this ICO for 4 months, I think you are real and big project.  best luck.

So hypotetical case: Im on Facebook and Share some links of sneakers, furthermore I like the page of Nike. Than my Datum App get these Informations and Im able to sell them. But at the same time, Facebook has this informations and wants to sell them also.

Where is the advantage of datum for the buyer?

That's the point. I asked this before too. The answer was, other companies are middle men, which are no longer needed, but in fact if you take a company like facebook, they are no real middle man. They are more like the producer of big data collections which will be sold in big packs of data. I don't think companies will stop buying these until they really have an important reason for this.

Anyways, Datum could be interesting, but just if they will manage to build up a big userbase and maybe good deals with different companies which search for data. Otherwise I think companies will go on and buy at the big data marketplaces aka google and facebook.

Google and facebook are big competitors. And they are gathering their data for free. Datum will buy them and probably it wants bigger prices cause it is not gathered free. I really wonder what will be the sales pitch?

Still promising project. But there are some difficulties to work on.

Judging by the amount of fees for the pre-sale of 5000 eth, the sales must pass at a good pace..

I could think about it only after knowing what data datum wants to sell or I have right to choose what I share.

that's encouraging really. too many ICO's just launch within a month of announcement with nothing to show for it.

[borisesbit]

Interesting idea. Best luck

A lot of people have seen this project!
Glad to finally see some more movement inside this thread and the community is growing.

DATUM will be a great platform.
Cant wait to participate in the ICO

I think that Datum is a great project, only last year sold our information for 9 Billions, and I haven’t seen a cent for it... I don't know about you. At least with datum we get a part of that wealth that has been stolen from us!!

Is it possible to use this app simply as a backup tool for all of your information and data? Instead of selling it, just store it on the blockchain?

I think it will be possible, more accurately, developers can say. An app with this function would be very useful these days.

the data that makes companies money, like your specific likes, location and shopping behavior

But you can choose what data you want to sell to the companies, as I understood. Like there is a marketplace with companies searching for specific type of data, you can say I will sell them this and that, for example your health information on your phone, or your recent facebook states.

Plus currently companies are already making money off your data so why shouldn't you get a piece of it? I'm all for selling most of my data if it's just going to be used regardless.

[tiger5056]

interesting project. i will be able to store all personnel data like wearable to blockchain. are we able to store private? how about video?

Of course I also would love to sell and control my data by myself, but still I wonder how Datum want to prevent other companies like Facebook, Google etc. to sell data from all of us for dumping prices for example.

I think that the data in the array will be classified for buyers. No one needs chaotic unsorted data. The data buyer has a specific request. For example, a buyer wants to buy the data of people suffering from a certain disease in order to offer them some new medicine. If these people agreed to sell information about their health in the database. Although it is possible that some data on health pharmaceutical companies are already collected behind the scenes using any electronic bracelets and mobile applications to control the circulatory system for hypertensives. But Datum offers to sell this data, which looks more correct than the unsolicited collection and analysis of personal data through social networks, for example.
