Just checked the Datum demo again.

https://demo.datum.org

I was wondering how will you store the data? In Europe there are a lof of new regulations regarding privacy and I was wondering how Datum will comply with this.

The download link for the DEMO version in the App Store is inaccessible.

What do you mean? you cant install / download it?
I can get there
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.datum.app

Not the Android app in Google play but IOS app in App store

I think they haven't released an iOS of the demo app yet. You have to test the demo on their website

KYC to join whitepaper? it seems a bit excessive,share my info for free?...

You do not need KYC to read the whitepaper, just to participate in a public token sale.

Actually, what makes our KYC process different - is that YOU own the data we capture. As soon as legal holding time ends (as required by the Swiss banking laws), we will return all the data to you and you will have a choice what to do with it.

We will NOT OUTSOURCE KYC process to a call center in countries where those call centers are and have someone go through your personal data.

what are the plans to lure businesses towards Datum and leave bigger players like facebook and google?

Very good question. I don't want to let this question go off into the dozens of pages. Would love to hear an answer to this too

this is not only a god question... it is a essential question for the sucess of the project - i did not find the strategy out jet

He is getting old, but a surprising number of younger people know him. He's kept up his appearances in more recent years, had a huge role in Priceline's advertising campaign.

There are several actors who were incredibly smart and savvy businessman/woman. My personal top three in terms of impact / earnings - top two are great positive cases.

1) William Shatner - took a promotional role in Priceline in exchange for stocks. Earned $600 million on stock and in their sale to Expedia

2) Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Ed Murphy - shot Shrek for a regulated minimum salary according to their union (SAG-AFTRA) in exchange for share of movie profits AND franchising (toys etc.). Shrek became a six billion USD franchise. Jointly, they pocketed over $1.4 billion.
3) 50 cent and Glaceau on VitaminWater - over $500 million earned (him going bankrupt just shows that money isn't everything)

What do you mean? I can open the Whitepaper of Datum without any problems and without giving my information: https://datum.org/assets/Datum-WhitePaper.pdf

I think he means KYC to join whitelist for the tokensale instead of whitepaper, am I correct? Otherwise would be weird

This is only my opinion.
Data from datum will be more obvious and more trusted, because the data owner knows that theyre selling it, not giving it for free.
And little a little guess, i think datum will offer cheaper price than others.

To look into Facebook and Google is fairly limited - then we're talking just about advertising. Datum is about advertising to a point, but the arrival of smart devices opens a whole new field of data you could sell or buy. We're starting to see traction, with businesses approaching us to encrypt user data, and to enable direct sharing.

First design win: Ozmo Smart Bottle

Second design win: Swings Smartwatch
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/swings-to-launch-datum-enabled-smartwatches-300543965.html

Third design win... would really like to show, but we have multiple business leads. Right now, we are talking to five more companies, four approached us, we approached one. This is for hardware design wins. I am not handling data buyers, but there is a substantial number, especially startups that cannot afford spending $120,000 to reach 1.8 million people. At Datum, we want to remove the fluff and establish a direct connection between you as the data seller and the data buyer.

Well considering that the data will be more accurate and was given for the client with a payment and that the platform allows for the data to be cheaper and more accurate, that will make the data more appealing rather than facebook and google, where they just take the data and use it or sell it.

From whitepaper:

The Datum network model could provide a basic income for everyone by allowing them to monetize their anonymized data.
As user of Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo and similar services - every year you create an excess of US $2,000, created directly from your personal data alone. For corporate entities, the value is even greater. This is only the value represented by data in each of these “data silos”, when you connect this data, the richer and wider the information, the more money it is worth.

They mean, that we can earn 2000$ per year  just from our data on their platfrom?

Its less than 9 hours to go before the token sale. The community are excited for this event. Good luck to all.

If this is the case than it will be revolutionary for people in third world countries, since they will have a basic income. This article (2016) shows that internet users in emerging and developing countries are more likely to use social media compared with those in the developed world.

I am not sure if this really will apply. I mean, first of all, I still think that Facebook, Google etc is in a position where they always can sell cheaper then all other. Second of all I think that companies are more happy with data batches instead of buying all the data they need one by one by one by one .... You know what I mean. Third I don't think that either Facebook or Google or Datum will have more accurate data or less acurate data, because they take the data from the same places in example from the apps or what ever.

Well, who want to buy this such data one by one? really worthless
Except a data from a popular person for news or magazine or something like that.

And this is why datum will provide data marketplace. This will be the place where companies will be able to buy data in huge packages from users

Yeah, it looks like the guy just confused the whitelist with whitepaper, so he was so upset..

You are right, crypto as it is, should be really profitable to third world countries and Datum is a perfect example how to help people who dont have a big income and would get a huge boost from their data selling.
