Swarm Fund looks really interesting

[evski]

This one looks promising

Crypto tokens that are legally representative of real-world assets

Could be a game changer

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

I agree that it looks interesting. I am trying to figure out colored coins like in Lykke or mosaics in XEM.

    What is the difference between these three?

[evski]

not sure about those two but Swarm Fund looks really solid. Just read the whitepaper and researched the team

the team is based out of Silicon Valley and has some serious crypto dev veterans among its ranks

[kolap]

This Swarm or DAO are no different, just pyramid scam. But then can't compare much as most of the DAO are dead and the rest are in declining.

looks like the ICO is coming up on September 7th

https://www.swarm.fund/

going to do some more research but this one looks like it may be worth participating in

mainstream adoption is what is needed for the next level of crypto growth, the fact that swarm fund is being covered by Forbes says a lot

I looked into. It is similar to good old TaaS. And it şis working if creators are trusted people. I hope we will see more info over bitcointalk forums.

Cofoundit is another project that's almost the same as Swarm, I think.  It's being accumulated right now on Bittrex and it looks like it's gonna start trending soon.

Please check out my opinion about it in my speculation thread the altcoin speculation section.

[mr_uk_btc]

To be honest Cofoundit seems to be at the chicken and egg stage that Swarm 1.0 was at in late 2014 / early 2015. They are actively seeking start-up projects that they can assist with raising funds in the hope that somewhere down the line these start-ups will be worth something....this slow process of trying to market their platform to small teams is what I believe eventually drove Swarm back into stealth mode.

Since then with lessons these learned, Swarm are returning to build a platform that will deploy capital immediately into EXISTING & PROFITABLE FUNDS across a variety of verticals (Distressed Real Estate, SaaS /  Tech and Renewables to name a few). So in a nutshell.... the capital raised above the software dev cap will be begin to be put to work immediately via their deployment into these existing businesses.

A proportion of any profit from these sub funds is then paid as a licence fee into a Swarm Token Pool which the Token holders then vote to either redistribute into new funds or distribute in a stake weighted manner amongst token holders.

See the difference?

agree, it seems very well thought out

Maybe.  But we'll see.  I would rather be trading in something new than something old that failed, and was rehashed and is now claiming it's something new, but the reality is, it's all the same.  Plus the most important thing to me is the chart.  Check out CFI's chart.  It's accumulating and looking good.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that this failed it seems a lot more like a pivot and a re-raise.... something that many very successful startups also do (http://www.businessinsider.com/most-successful-pivots-2011-4?op=1). Stop, reassess, learn from mistakes and improve / change your product / market fit. The 1.0 team were trying to figure out something very new in early 2014. They thought it was simpler than it was...and  once they began speaking with lawmakers etc. this became apparent.  They were literally THE thought leaders in this area in 2014.... and they remain ahead of the curve with this offering as they've already explored most of the dead ends that new Crowdfunding platforms will also face. That's why I'm so excited about the work they did during their downtime.  Chicken & Egg problem resolved now lets build the Farm!

I think this is an excellent point. The project/team is showing adaptability and resilience, as well as dedication to their vision. It would have been easy to walk away after running into challenges with Swarm 1.0. With so many questionable ico's going on, the dedication and commitment the Swarm Fund team is showing says a lot about the potential future success of this project

[evski]

this is neat, in addition to having a whitepaper they have a "lightpaper" that gives a more succinct overview of the project:

I found this clear explanation of Swarm:

I found this project on Wings Platform:
https://www.wings.ai/#!/home/project/0x2e4F1157D1cb304DE11842D2587F57A0d3864c0c/info

You can now participate there (if you have wings) and receive some amount of SWARM tokens. To all Wings platform Swarm giving 1.5% of all Swarm tokens.

Swarm Fund seems to be positioning themselves well to deal with the increasing regulatory environment:
