Hi! Thanks a lot for the questions!
Is advertising enough for you to get the project profit after ICO?
BoatPilot is a marketplace that provides businesses of any size – from large brands to small seaside restaurants – effective and convenient access to the international yachting market, which will reach $74.7 billion by 20221. Best of all, BoatPilot advertising works even when the user has no internet access.
We plan to become the world’s leading marine navigation solution for mobile devices hones and tablets), and built-in navigation systems produced by equipment manufacturers; also we plan to provide the yachting industry a convenient and fully functional platform to advertise products and services in a market estimated to be worth over $200 billion annually.
I'm from Vietnam, can I take part in the TGE?
Sure you can! According to the rules of our TGE we do not allow anyone who participates with the American IP.
Where can I find the russian yellow paper?
mobile devices have limited computing power and RAM, how did you adapt your service to this?
Here you can find our Yellow Paper:
https://www.boatpilot.io/docs/BoatPilot_Yellow_Paper_RU.pdfOne of the ways we choose to solve the size problem is by using variable resolutions depending on depth. For example, having 1-meter resolution for depths up to 5 meters, and raising the resolution as depth increases. This does not affect navigational capabilities, but significantly enhances performance and reduces the amount of data stored and processed.
Our algorithm will find and eliminate such redundancy, which in turn will cut the size of the database to a fifth. Industry standard library GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) will be used as the database library for all geo-data. GDAL is a stable high-speed library, supported by the community, as well as by large commercial and non-profit organizations such as Oracle and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
Kind regards,
BoatPilot team
