[ANN] [ICO] Polyswarm - The first decentralized threat intelligence market.

[rathaha10]

Polyswarm - the good project with big prospects! Polyswarm gains great popularity daily! I wish you success!

I see every day the counter of Polyswarm move a little bit. These days it is not much, because the market is going down. So i expect that it will be normal again in a few days when the market is green.

I was also amazed by the fact that ICO progress of the Polyswarm is moving slowly and linearly. I wanted it to go in an exponential phase. Market down might not be relevant here as one can use FIAT also for buying the tokens right?

On the Polyswarm site it says that you can use ETH for the payment. So i think that you can only use ETH. Here is what i found:

EXCHANGE RATE
1 ETH = 31,337 NCT
PAYMENT METHOD
ETH

Anyone can confirm this ?

During  development, the  PolySwarm  will assign  Arbitership to  existing, reputable threat  intelligence  vendors  that  are  willing  to  maintain frequent  engagement  with the PolySwarm  team,  help  identify  and address  platform  bugs,  and  help build interest  in  the  ecosystem.

Their catchphrase got me, "threats come from every angle, threat protection should too", this just stresses the concept behind the polyswarm project, building a large and sustainable community that will deal with all kinds of cyber threats, with some nice partnerships like Rivetz, which aim to provide a safer and easier-to-use model for all users to protect their digital assets using hardware-based trusted execution technology

I looked up Rivetz in Google in order to learn more about them and why polyswarm choose to make a partnership with them and this what I got..

"The Rivetz ecosystem offers a simplified, intuitive approach to cybersecurity, built around hardware-based identity"

PolySwarm is building not just any team but reputable team of security experts around the blockchain...

Nice synergy there. I really look forward to see them in a live interview or an event; I think it would be great seeing the CEO himself speak. I am amused by the clients they collaborated with and the potential that would bring to the table.

Guys check out this article on steemit about Polyswarm https://steemit.com/polyswarm/@anamnesia/security-is-central-to-the-future-life-and-success-of-cryptocurrency

Nice article there. I noticed the writer calling for the backing up of macabre. Is there any official move made towards this effect yet?? Is there any form of response from him on this?

You are right out of all the projects in crypto you would have thought this is one that McAfee might be interested in. But let's wait and see hopefully as the project grows in popularity it might attract his attention.

John McAfee and the company that develops the anti-virus program parted ways a long time ago if I remember correctly. But you are right. With his experience in the cybersecurity he might be a good advisor for Polyswarm.

From you guy's response, AM I safe to conclude that macfee is yet to respond to this call made?? I would love an update from this from any of the team members though

This is a great project and I wish the team behind this great success

This is a great project and I wish the team behind this great success

Nice quote here found from the concept description;

How does the project create value / differ from other projects:

PolySwarm creates value by re-imagining the threat intelligence market. PolySwarm unlocks potential in dormant information security expertise by creating rewards for crowdsourced and collaborative malware detection. PolySwarm incentivizes specialized knowledge and mandates interoperability, allowing enterprises and end users alike to obtain more complete threat coverage.

Headlines frequently call attention to shortcomings in today’s Antivirus and intrusion prevention / detection products. We believe these shortcomings are caused by today’s market incentives. PolySwarm is a carefully designed replacement for this market that will continue to push threat detection forward.

Refer to our short blog post for more discussion on the market shortcomings that convinced us to develop Swarm: https://medium.com/swarmdotmarket/the-case-for-decentralizing-the-threat-intelligence-market-e11c971cc404

It's a well known fact that projects that conducted live AMA sessions has always been hailed for transparency and in turn has really boost the confidence of investors when they get to not see only a face of the team but a talking face, one which they can throw questions at directly and get all their doubts squashed.. Polyswarm should look in this direction

Why sale going to slow now, When its start than PRE SALE tokens sold too fast, But now its look like its stop breathing or website have some problem?

The target is huge. I dont say its too slow in picking up. The most important thing is its moving forward. Polyswarm will not disappoint investors as far as I understood from the project theme and roadmap.

But what about the anti-virus-companys all out there, for example.

Kapersky, AVG, Norton, Microsoft Defender,...

Don`t you think they already working on such a product, without an ICO, and will implement it to their software?

Could be a very big competition. I´m not sure if I should invest in it. But when Polyswarm get massadoption, because of their early adopters advantage, then it goes very likely to the moon.

The answer is quite simple, they are centralized and dont use a blockchain to incentivize security experts with token payments
I dont think you can walk in Kaspersky's building and say, hey I got a fix for your problem, but give me some bitcoins please

Solid point, another important thing to note is the inculcation of the "competition spirit" which non of the above competitions has, giving room for incompetency and lack of innovation, for when there is competition, every individual in the community will strive to create something outstanding than the other, hence the continuous improvement of products

I'm really curious how it works with the competitions. I do not know any project that wants to motivate employees in this way, so I have no idea how it will work out. In theory, that sounds pretty good, but we have to wait for the first practical tests

The competition factor may be more relevant in the scenario where this would leave to a higher token amount in reward, otherwise I dont think there is incentive for this

When something is valuable, investors will surely troop in , take the case of bitcoin for example, where miners mine bitcoins and get rewarded for it, now imagine that scenario in the Polyswarm setting, where the community is competing to out-perform the other, thereby creating good innovations that will ultimately win the heart of investors, there proof of work is threat detection accuracy and the market rewards experts who are best able to defend enterprises and end users.

The token sale isn’t moving as fast as expected because investors have concerns about the very high total raise figure of $50 million. It is a very legit concern, it’s good potential investors are asking these kinds of questions, and thats the reason for the slow growth.

But with BTT it is easy to follow up with important discussion; in telegram you can't help the much noise going on; It may be difficult  getting the information out especially if alot of things are going on. It is always healthy to keep all channels updated.

I support the guys from the very beginning and I can say with confidence that they have many very important advantages that can play a very important role! This segment of the market has long been in need of modernization, and this project will be able to change the concept. All current problems will be eliminated, which will allow them to take over a significant part of the market!

He might have responded but to be honest Mcafee is a blood sucking nobody who will only shill a project if he's paid enough so I don't really think his validation is needed for this project.

There are many positives to the project and team, but unfortunately many ethical questions are starting to be raised, specifically about their Puerto Rico headquarters and the extremely high amount of money being raised for a niche project. That’s why the ICO sales so far haven’t taken off.
