Hey, I really like your chart and I looked over your whitepaper, cool stuff indeed. In fact, you highlighted some challenges we had when we were building out the real estate portion of our platform and I think you and your team did an admirable job of addressing these issues.
That said, there are some inaccuracies in the chart I think we have some suggestions for it that may help you out in building a more accurate scope of the landscape. First, we do indeed have an internal exchange. In fact, it is one of my biggest headaches as a developer-- as you probably already know. Building a utility exchange has all number of issues, especially when you allow users to control their private keys completely. Likewise, we already do have a 'viable business plan' (partially based off the exchange) which has evolved from our past 6 months running Proof as a crypto-business (the token-sale is more about building the technologies to take ourselves entirely out of the equation and create a self-regulating fully automated marketplace).
The chart is indeed accurate, however, in the sense that we do not have P2P rentals since one of our core principles is about ownership. We believe people should own their crypto-asset. Now, this presents some challenges as far building an internal ecosystem, however, we are adamant about allowing users to move their assets wherever they want even if it's out of spite over our marketplace.
The final bit of inaccuracy in the chart comes from the section about prototypes. Regrettably, we do not have a prototype. We finished our POC phase last year and launched our public beta at the beginning of 2017. Currently, we have around 6000 active users each day building communities, deploying theid own ICO's, keeping our customer service staff busy, and helping us plan for the future. So, for the sake of accuracy, I think it may be best to uncheck that box.
We understand that finding info on our platform is kind of hard ,and for that, we apologize. We are a company of developers-turned business professionals and are still working on certain aspects of the blockchain business/marketing space. However, if you head over to
https://beta.proofdashboard.com and just poke at it a bit you can invest in some real estate, or other crypto currencies, or bonds, or commercial paper, or utilize our wide breadth of tools to make your life easier as you launch your public offering next year.
Thank you for the breakdown nonetheless and I hope our insights can help you continue to build a plan for an excellent real estate platform.
