This is a good concept but I guess we just have to wait to see how you are able to provide answers to questions asked between I think it would have been a great idea if your team had better pictures with links to other social platforms letting us know who you are and where you are coming from. People want to trust how you put your money in their hands.

Best of luck

I can understand that project is well designed and definitely non personal data selling to specified companies is in demand which will be increasing with passage of time. I also checked the given address but there is no transaction yet that means there is no investment yet. I will be watching the progress continuously.

I think, I need to ask for something, What is kind of data that will be collected for this project actually?
And what will this data used for?

Should I really buy this coin

Hi,

Thank you for expressing an interest.

We haven't received any investment yet. Our current offering is not a Pre-Sale, but rather an early adopter sale. We are selling only a few tokens at a special discount before the pre-sale.

The amount we raise during this phase will assist us with registration, securing the domain name we want, improving our marketing strategy, and MVP creation.

Feel free to return as we will post regular updates.

Best,
Tiaan

Very good project, I'm really interested, I'm sure there will be many investors who are interested in this project, have a very good plan, I hope the team can be relied upon, they look very professional, good team, hopefully run well

[TiaanB]

I think, I need to ask for something, What is kind of data that will be collected for this project actually?
And what will this data used for?

Hi Sannah,

Thank you for your interest.

Data collected will include:

Social Media Usage - Social Network Preference (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), Pages Liked, Frequent Topic Searches
Browsing Interests - Products / Services you are interested in, News Feeds you read regularly, Preferred Commerce Stores, Ads you click on
Transactions - Methods of payment preferred, Average Online Spend
Location - To establish correlations between various geographic regions.

This is just to give you some idea.

Data will be used to create a visualization that would assist companies in delivering better and more suited products based on user interests and also to determine the best marketing channels.

Companies will need to purchase DVA, and pay users (Providers of Data) in DVA Tokens in order to obtain the data. The user will however be able to choose how much and the type of data that is shared.

Hope this answers your question.

Best,
Tiaan

This could be one of the promising and successful projects for near future, for now maybe I will see first, the progress of this project, before actually can join for ICO

[SimpleManns]

You should add a link on your announcement to Newbium, it's where ICO's are discussed, https://chat.newbium.com

Interesting. Is anyone really ready to provide personal information about yourself?

Hi Fu,

Thank you for expressing an interest.

We have done some research, and apparently people are more than willing to do so, they just don’t
really know it yet.

People are sharing their information everyday on all social media platforms and apps, along with their location. The thing is, people are quick to say they wouldn’t share their data, but this is only because they don’t like the idea or don’t really want to think about it, but yet do it anyway. As long as they can access services.

We are however incentivizing users for their data, this way they actually get something in return. We are also protecting them from sharing personal data, and only anonymous data will be shared. Once we start explaining this to people, they are quick to change their views.

We actually see this as our competitive advantage. It’s an important truth that very few people know about - Peter Thiel

Hope this answers your question.

This would be hard that you didn't even have funds regarding on starting up the project but somehow a good idea on launching early adopters price.I do see the project is good and I love the idea but on doubt if there would someone risk putting up money on this kind of set-up.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. You are absolutely correct. It won't be easy to get investment for something like this. We are targeting investors that believe in what we are trying to achieve, and can see the value this might have on society.

We are still in the very early stages, and it is not easy to give money away to something for which there is no product yet. We respect the value that investment would bring, and have to put ourselves out there.

This is exactly the purpose of the early adopter sale. Raising some funds so that we can create our MVP, and further win investors over through the business model and product we put out.

Best,
Tiaan

Hi guys, scanned the white paper

1) where are you and the token issuing entity based

2) do you plan to source primarily objective data or subjective too?  Sourcing any user data in aggregate based on subjective input/view of reality should be concerned with inaccurate information sentiment not reflective of truth - depending on the topic.  

"Anonymous data include Location of Purchases, Transaction Amounts and Establishment Types." Are you focused on automated objective data pulled from their device, software usage etc. or data that requires people answering specific questions (yes/no, or other) based on their life context, views, experience, expertise, etc?

For any subjectivity, just sourcing, structuring, organizing data is sort of the first primitive layer for AI development. Next layer could be assigning trusted specialists, ethical leaders etc. to properly weigh and qualify the data to draw more accurate conclusions, etc. There was a blockchain AI project presentation at Decentral camp at Burning Man that articulated this point, and they have a plan for Layer 2 as they are currently sourcing the yes/no etc input from people in exchange for tokens. Consider speaking to this point.  

3) careful not to make unqualified claims like "we will be able to create the worlds most advanced decentralized cloud based AI" as there are brilliant people working on the same thing with existing traction/user data gathered, and you're raising on a concept with development commencing next year.

4) have you spoken to any of the companies you plan to partner with?

Hi Chex.

Thank you for you interest. With regard to your above questions,

1) We are based in South Africa

2) We are mainly focused on automated objective data. We will however also give power back to the users by allowing them to limit the amount of data captured. We are looking into a voting system that could be based on a set of rules created by users globally. This will limit the capability of the Ai development, and ensure that it is being build with the purpose of improving lives. We are essentially creating an Ai community of contributors, scientists, and though leaders. The first focus would however be data and the incentivization thereof.

3)Thank you for pointing this out. I have changed the wording a bit to better reflect our purpose.

4)We have already partnered with Butter. We are currently in speaks with Civic.

Hope this answers your questions.

Best,
Tiaan

Thank you for those answers. Sounds like you have a thoughtful team and approach. Good luck to you on the project!
