[ANN] Biotron.io Announcement - Transparent personal data analytics platform

[wissy]

I can decide who will sell my data and who will not? I wonder how this will all work.

Check out the chapter about use cases in the whitepaper.

John creates a Biotron account, downloads the app, installs the web extension and links his car, thermometer, 3D printer, and other IoT devices he owns with his Biotron account. Now John has joined the Biotron nation of millions of people who make money and improve our world by voluntarily sharing their data.

But you can choose which kind of data you wanna sell and which to keep private, right? For example, you don't have problems sharing you browser history, but you don't wanna sell your, let's say, activity app data.

Considering the fact that the project intends to integrates personal Data analytics system, allowing transparency in the use of data is really a great start and I will love to see how this totally plays out. Thumbs up.

I suppose you must be able to decide what you want to sell/share, unless explicitly specified otherwise

I am not 100% sure but that is how I understood it, share what you want to share and biotron is progressing the data for their customers.

Speaking of data, people will be able to monetize even on medical data? I see a huge demand for that, if researchers have more data they can speed up what they are reaseraching

I am not sure whether the data is to be used for scientific purposes, the main goal of Biotron is to to offer the same social media platforms but where the data generators (users) earn as well in the same profit model

I'm still a bit confused about all the possibilities of earnings of Biotron users, will it be a way to sell our Medical data through your Platform and receive in your token in the Ethereum network? Or in the future will there be a Swap for the chain itself?

I think most likely there will be a swap, because this project will work on the SophiaTX blockchain. It would be nice if the devs clarified this.

But its still an interesting question. When i receive Sophia based tokens on their platform, where and how do i trade them in to buy something ETH based?

If they issue a token there will definetly be a trading system in the wallet like NXT, waves, stellar, etc

If they don't, they should. It would make for a better user experience

But if biotron doesnt have other special use case for each token, we have too much blockchain with its token system already. And also it will blog down the blockchain. ARdor is interesting new sidechain blockchain provider, they can probably use its clone

And thats the reason why ive asked that question. How many purposes for the Biotron token do we have? I there arent many use cases, we need some kind of trading system to exchange them into somethin more useful

If I remember correctly the use case is to perform trades with other users on the social media platform brought by biotron, but this is just one application I came across reading the wp

You also get paid by selling your data with their tokens. I guess also to buy the data is the same story?

Why would an individual buy somebody's data? I think it works only one way, you sell your data, Bitron will collect it, analyze and sell it further to interested companies so they could use this analysis in order to improve their digital marketing campaigns.

I don't think there would be some obstacle for individuals to buy data but as you stated it would be meaningless and not expecting any individual go for it.

I don't see any difference between an individual and an organization as long as they are paying the required amount for a certain kind of data.

I guess there is not much an individual can do with all the data since it will anonomyzed to a certain degree. Otherwise it would be creepy.

Biotron's CEO reveals their roadmap for 2018. Initial Token Event starts in 6 days - register at www.biotron.io.

Can you tell us why youre not burning the not sold token? Its normally a better idea so you can raise the value of it.

The unsold tokens will be added to the user acquisition pool, which will be distributed among our app users to give further incentive to be a part of our project.

If you can be an application user and get tokens for free, then what profit will investors get if they buy tokens? What is the point of buying tokens?

Free users probably can only obtain a small amount of tokens. Biotron is using this like additional source of marketing

Most businesses prefer raw data from people who are not necessarily filling out forms for the purpose of data analytics. Biotron will have ensure that to profitable in this business. The scandal over Cambridge Analytica and Facebook is for all to see.

But if a company is interested in buying data from Biotron, will they be able to pay in fiat or do they have to pay Biotron tokens for the data?

Today's computers have so much power that working on huge chunks of raw data is not a problem

No, obviously only payments with Biotron tokens are possible. That's from their white paper: 'BTRN is a utility token that enables the trade of data between data providers and consumers. It is the only option for data consumers to pay for access to data and the only method by with they can compensate
their providers.'

Using only biotron token will be the best solution I guess. Beside the platform get profit it can help the token to get some volume from the trade those companies made.

I agree, it is logical to pay for the provided data only with the BTRN token. Thank you for showing this into white paper.
