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

Yes you can. I believe the datum token can become a billion dollar project with each coin being worth around 1$,
as the personal data world is growing rapidly and this platform could return all the power back to us as creators.

ok that sound cool but can you elaborate for a noob ?

Big companies are making billions with your data and with nothing else, remember your data. Now imagine you could make some dollars with your data by your own. Who doesnt want that?
If this app reaches enough people, than it will be a big success!

Indeed! It would be very nice to make some dollars of everything I do on the internet.
Mostly crypto's but some other things to :p

Very curious how much all my data will be worth.
Cant wait to see everything go online. Keep us updated team!

Can we delete our data anytime at our will in future?

Very good question, wondering this myself. Since datum recognize the dangers of  Data storage I hope they will integrate an option to deleted data on request

Delete data from where? If you decide to sell it, you obviously can't delete sold information afterwards, and since facebook / twitter holds it anyway, you can't delete it from their servers either. Well technically you can delete your account but they still will keep your information.

Probably he meas to delete it from the blockchain? As Datum will save your data on their blockchain, as I understand, to be able to give it to companies etc.
Well, of course you can't delete collected data which is sold, also will not Facebook or twitter or google or who ever has your data delete it. But Datum is collecting themself, right? You don't use the data which for example facebook collected about you.

Something saved on the blockchain can't be deleted, or am I wrong?

You can't delete anything on the blockchain

I thought Datum would save our date on BigchainDB and IPFS

Obviously you can't delete info on other servers but that doesn't mean you can't delete the info on your own machine. It's just like it is right now, you could post a pic and delete it, but  it might be on other servers and you can't do anything about that.

Yeah but then where is the point of deleting data beside maybe get more space on your phone or what ever.

I recently found out my Android phone saves almost all my behaviors. I can see which app i opened on what time. How long that app was used etc. Basically tracking all my behavior on my phone. Then op top of that if you
say "ok google" at any time, google page opens. Which means that the microphone is open AT ALL TIMES!! What is being recorded while we just speak I dont know....

We need our data to be protected, please hurry up DATUM!

Well, always good to believe its only your phone that works that way, but it's not 

Ye its crazy, taping of my webcams and mics on devices. If google ever gets hacked, the whole world is screwed.  pretty scary to think about. It could be a good movie or black mirror episode. Good thing Datum is trying to solve this issue!

i dont even want to think about a scenario like that - datum is a good thing

Datum is not about protecting your data but selling it. You don't OWN or protect the data, you are just selling the same data that social medias do.

I dont know why you guys really hate those company (google, facebook, etc)
You guys are the one who submit the data and use their technoloy.
Its like you want to use a broken ladder, then you use it and fall, after that you blame it because its broken.

In Belgium When you are hospitalized, a lot of data is stored by the hospital : the medicines you were given, your pathology, the doctors and the specialists who looked at your case. What you may not know is that when you go out, the hospital resells that data to commercial companies for money.
With this practice, the pharmaceutical industry can know precisely what such a hospital consumes as medicines, and how such a specialist treats a specific pathology. A real jackpot in terms of marketing. So as much as you have your hands on your information and control and knowledge of those shared that will pay off for you

If you think of all your personal data combined you will get quite a lot of money if you sell all of this. I think this could help poor people very much.

Thru this platform, you are the one who will get gains from your personal data and not the big companies like google or facebook who got million of dollars from your personal data.

[matjas]

So anyone with a free storage space will able to be a miner and collect dat tokens? Will it also become useless after few big miners join or will there be some limitations to give small fish a chance. 

[firstboy]

What an interesting project. Sell and profit from your own personal data generated with most of your interaction.
I can see how important big data has become, and mining those big data is like a gold mine.
A few things I find it good to know is that Datum is going to implement something to interface with IOT devices.
There are a myriad of devices interfacing these devices are important for the success of this project.

[chaoscoinz]

I'm having trouble understanding the point of this startup? How does datum supposed to put the data back into my hands?   Is there some sort of cookie that follows me while on Facebook, or something? Can someone with a better grasp, give me a quick debriefing on what's going on here?

I agree, now everything will be much honest. as it should be. Google and so much on this earned!
Datum opens interaction without an intermediary - and it's very cool!

there should be a way to mark deletion by user so data can not be useful or rebuilt.

But couldn't, for example, a website find a way to overcome this obstacles and collect your data again?

Google spies on everyone and everything but they aren't too good at monetizing this date. Datum can do this better!

[Drokzid]

I missed the pre-sale, what a pity. They have huge bonus, cool thing.

Which bomus was on pre-sale? Also, no bonus on main ICO?  
Token sale will be in October 29?

Token Sale / ICO will start on October 17th (Look at this thread's title)

does anyone know where the supposed alpha release went? There was supposed to be a demo release in august

Yeah, still waiting for that too, i really want to see the demo.

hm.. Im a little confused.

On their site: Datum Token Sale 29th October 2017 to 29th November 2017

and here on the 1st page:
The DAT Token Sale will start on October 17 2017 14:00 GMT.
It will end on November 17 2017 14:00 GMT.

So, when? 

Yes, there is some confliction in this issue.

I believe their website is more accurate and 29th october is the start date.

Probably just postponed it a little and forget to update the ann.

Its seems that someone forgot update date.. On the site or here...
May be some member of team can confirm exact date of ICO?

So, what is the exact date of the token sale now? I am confused. And I think I am not the only one out there.

On their Telegram dev said ICO starts on 17th October and ends on 17th November so the information in this topic is correct and on their website is written wrong.

Yes, but the commission is minimal. if to compare with Google - it takes away almost everything. this platform will be very useful, I think so.

[Elkmar]

I'm wondering why companies would go through the project platform instead of the conventional way, what is the benefits for them ?

Good question that has been asked before but not did not get a satisfying answer.

Even if one could say the buyers would be able to get a lower price from Datum's marketplace compared to Google, what is the point of buying the personal data of their prospective customers if those prospective customers are already on the same marketplace? Companies would then have to compete on the Datum marketplace to get their prospective customers' attention. And so advertisements on the Datum marketplace are born.

Google is almost monopolist so they can have outrageous fees and commissions but this will change when Datum platform will be finished
