[ANN][preICO] Dolphin BI: The first cryptoasset investment analysis marketplace

[Nastasiya22]

On the CrushCrypto channel you can find a video about startups, ICO. This is an interesting idea of presenting the results of analysis. Will it be implemented by DolphinBI something like this in the future?

Hi! There is a project called "Starbase" and along with crowdfunding and supporting of new ICO, they also provide legislation and tax advising for their newcomers. Are you planning to implement such feature in DoBI?

We do not promote new ICOs - we think that a key flaw of traditional ICO rating agencies is that they invest in the ICOs they rate, which results in a conflict of interest. So we will not do that.

As for consulting services, it's not exactly the aim of the platform, as data is available to all Subscribers that pay, which means there cannot be private consultations by design. If there's going to be a consulting project with relations to Dolphin, it's going to be separate.

Thank you for reply! But what about including some advertising system for widgets, like it is expected in FinShi? (they are advertising their ICO start-ups with Bounty Campaign of course, but still)

ICOAlert makes their reports Q&A-styled - they ask the founders or developers about their project and it's perspectives. Are you going to do something like this to make information more detailed? Any other cooperation with developers and founders? Or it depends on the experts?

I've read a bit about Santiment. It's a financial market data and content platform of choice for cryptocurrency and block chain space. Santiment provides aggregated newswires regularly. Are you planning to do something similar?

Indoorse project provide an ability for all their community to choose experts from ordinary users. You said, that you are going to moderate them more or less manually, but what do you think about this possibility? Assuming you`ve got all this security protocols against bots.

What do you think about Red Pulse project? It’s  a platform covering China's financial markets, also they provide their users  with the knowledge and helpful information to make investment and business decisions

I have a question about Ties Network. They said that they have first  realization of public decentralized database and interesting cases for crypto community: real deals based raitings, projects, cases foe ico due diligence with expert community etc. As I understand you have something the same. What can you say about that?

[Nastasiya22]

Do you consider the news resource DeCenter a serious competitor in the publication of analytical reviews? Will the Dolphin gain such trust?

As HTML in widgets is arbitrary, it it totally possible to put a video player inside a widget and patch it up to a CDN data provider. So if an Author wants to create a widget with video analysis, they can certainly do that.

Thank you for reply! But what about including some advertising system for widgets, like it is expected in FinShi? (they are advertising their ICO start-ups with Bounty Campaign of course, but still)

In the beginning the Dolphin BI team will probably have to publish some widget spotlights to accelerate platform development, but after the platform gains critical mass of Subscribers, we will stop doing that to remain impartial.

As for widget advertising, the Authors can create free widgets with advertisements or advertise on external resources (official Dolphin forums, for example). Popular new widgets will be highlighted in the marketplace as well.

We ourselves are not going to do that (Dolphin BI team's main activity is developing the platform and the community). The ICO list is curated by the moderators and will contain all necessary attributes for basic ICO description. If additional attributes (like Q&A answers) are required, they can be added by the Dolphin BI team (during earlier times) or voted for by the community (when it is sufficiently developed).

I've read a bit about Santiment. It's a financial market data and content platform of choice for cryptocurrency and block chain space. Santiment provides aggregated newswires regularly. Are you planning to do something similar?

We will provide a sentiment analysis widget (actually, it is already available in our demo!), that in its final version will aggregate opinions on the project from different social networks (although right now only BTT is available, other social media is planned as well).

As for Santiment, they aim to build decentralized prediction models, but it is unclear how they are going to decentralize such massive computations (and it is not covered in depth in their WP). The key principle of Dolphin platform is that widgets may be centralized (as they often need a lot of computational power), but the economics around these widgets are decentralized, which allows to create a truly honest and transparent marketplace of analytics.

Hello! Are there going to be some interaction between the expert and a subscriber? Is there going to be an opportunity to contact the expert directly and to ask him or her some questions? (like a consulting session when a person clarifies what he or she didn't understand out of the expert's analysis and then makes a decision)

As long as they have a verified identity, it is possible to easily contact them in their social accounts. As for anonymous investors, it might be a bit trickier. As of now we do not plan to integrate a messenger system into the platform, but we can do that if the community requires it. Be warned, though, that it is probably going to be a centralized system - it is not possible to send messages in Ethereum directly and conveniently right now.

One of your competitors is "ICO-Rating". They provide not only an assessment of upcoming and ongoing ISO, but also a detailed past audit of the project to predict success. Do you plan to provide the same services?

We won't provide such services by ourselves, but it is totally possible for somebody to create an "audit" widget and have Experts post their detailed overviews in it (although it depends on how detailed you want it to be - the vanilla Expert widget can have pretty detailed analysis as well).

More than that, ICORating can actually create their trademark widget and post their analysis on our platform to increase coverage!

That means that any competitor can use DolphinBI?
Won't it harm the project if ICORating would make their own widget? I ask this because ICOR is free of charge and DBI is not.
And what if Picolo Research, for instance, will make their own widget too? Is it ok?

On a platform called ICO Tracker there is a "role" of curator, who rates ICO's and must invest in the one he's rating. In Dolphin BI, when rating anything, users don't have to invest in it, do they? And I don't undertand one small detail. In Dolpnih BI do users rate widgets or ICOs?

We are not exactly going to moderate who can become an Expert - we will just invite famous Expert onto the platform at its start.

As for the bots - it is actually a pretty sophisticated problem. We will utilize a combination of automated detection measures and curation from high-rating Expert to filter them out.

We haven't really heard about them. But from what we've gathered, they can actually post their analysis on our platform and benefit from it!

We are aiming to create in international platform that caters to audiences from all around the world, so this project would fit right in.

The idea behind dophin bi is really cool. Analytical tool can only be useful where there is transparency and there is level playing field. Spectre is brokeless trading platform. The liquidity of the platform is tokenized and all profit is share by the investor, holder of the token. The financial sector is about to withess transparency like never before. Get Spectre for broker less transaction and dolphin could be predictive tool on it. What a dynamo!

On ICOrating there is a Risk score by which the projects are evaluated. What's rating in Dolphin BI is based on?
