[ANN][PRE-SALE LIVE] DarcMatter Coin (DMC) - The Global Finance Revolution

[bananafana]

What exactly is DarcMatter trying to do? What problems is it trying to solve and how?

DMC was created to tokenize an antiquated system. The long term vision, is to replace the traditional centralized investing processes, with blockchain technology solutions to increase transparency and remove/reduce inefficiencies. DMC will be used for a permissioned blockchain, which is one specific type of private blockchain. While having all the benefits of a blockchain, it also permits for the level of discretion and privacy that is often required for the world of alternative funds and investments in general. DarcMatter will utilize a blockchain based distributed ledger which allows all parties necessary for completion of an alternative fund investment (any distribution intermediary, fund reporting entity, fund manager and/or investor), to concurrently and seamlessly be able to view the current and historical transaction record in full.

Thanks for your reply. That makes a lot of sense and I can see the need for this solution. I am impressed to see you guys already have J.P. Morgan and Merrill Lynch actively using DarcMatter. It is no wonder you guys are having such success in your private pre-sale. I see a bright future for DarcMatter.

I didn't expect the pre-sale to end so soon, my fault I admit. But I wonder if you guys have considered putting a cap on how much each person can buy in the early stages of the sale? I know it can hinder the initial hype, but it's nice for the little guys to be able to get in on the action.

For specific info on the presale, I suggest asking directly on their email for the ICO - DMCICO@DarcMatter.com

Nice job on closing pre-sale tier 1 early. I think this project is very valuable and will make a huge impact on financial services. How is pre-sale tier 2 going and how can I invest?

[bit-joker]

I've been seeing DarcMatter in a lot of articles lately. I also noticed that DarcMatter was awarded with "Best Growth Stage Startup" last year. That's remarkable. What do you think was the main reason for winning that award?

[GoBelle]

Is there a public Github link available for this project? If so, can you please link it? TIA

[earthcoin]

I was interested to see that DMC is on the NEM blockchain and not ETH. Why did you guys choose this and what advantages does it have?

Company Reserve (5%) 50,000,000

Thanks for the reply. That distribution seems sound. What happens to unsold DMC tokens?

No, currently the code is not available for Github yet. The Github will address the abstraction layer.

[DM_Coin]

I was interested to see that DMC is on the NEM blockchain and not ETH. Why did you guys choose this and what advantages does it have?

We decided to go with NEM vs. ERC20 for a few reasons:
1. The core technology and inception for NEM was specifically created for the more robust financial use case as in the situation with DarcMatter
2. The ease of use with developers and ability to modify the solution we believe to be much better than other blockchains in the market today
3. The ease of a blended public and private use case also drew us as well.
4. PoI (Proof of Importance) is something that is very important to us and we have our own custom modifications to what's important for the network.

In general:
NEM has a very strong team of developers and a great vision which was driven around the development of the underlying technology and its efficient use. There has been significant work that has been put into making the NEM blockchain accessible and modifiable in a much more scalable fashion than others including Ethereum. While the technology is very well designed for platform building for secure transactions such as alternative investments, it also utilizes significantly less power in its harvesting process as opposed to high energy use from mining of other cryptocurrencies; all of which create positive benefits for DMC and DarcMatter.

We think the main reason for winning this award was due to our user growth as we continued to build the platform. We were able to onboard more investors in the U.S. and Asia, along with increasing the number of alternative investment firms/funds available on DarcMatter. We were honored to receive the recognition!

Hi there! The remaining unsold tokens get burned.

[celestio]

Congrats on reaching your pre-sale goal. That's impressive. I am wondering if this product actually exists? If so, are there tutorials on how to use it?

Hi Celestio -

DarcMatter is the parent company and platform, that has been operational for 3+ years. DM Coin provides the opportunity to release even more financial technology solutions to deliver on DM’s vision: increase transparency and access within alternatives.. DarcMatter is designing, on top of its already operational global platform, an alternative fund marketplace transaction tool powered by smart contracts and the distributed ledger driven by the blockchain. This will combine the necessary implementation of fund administration, distribution, reporting and logistics, which are highly inefficient between fund managers and investors today.

You can watch a presentation and demo of the DarcMatter platform here:

And you can request a demo at: https://darcmatter.com/

Thanks, team. I appreciate the help and I am glad to see a working product that has been around for some time. I think that's going to go a long way to get more investors in. Also, nice presentation on how to actually log in and start using the DarcMatter platform. Thanks for taking the time to share that.

After that explanation, it does sound like the NEM blockchain was a good choice for DarcMatter. I'm glad to see it is more scalable and modifiable. It is also a huge plus that NEM more robust for financial use cases. Thanks for your help.

This project keeps impressing me as I learn more about it. It makes me feel better about my investment when I see all of the user growth and investments. I think you guys can do amazing things this year.
