Most promising projects in 2018

[AUruHM]

I think DACC is one of the promising projects. Strong team, famous partners, quick ICO. And now project wait exchange and development. I think we can see much more than x3-x5. Try to research

Agreed. Their idea about copyrights-over-blockchain is pretty good. That's why I interested DACC. And now I continue to watch for him. AMA with key people from advisers is a great idea. And exchange today is not so important because I think DACC will give much more in the long-term

With all the news about scam ICOs out there, I think Menlo.One is the hottest ICO this year since it aims to solve such issue with the use of the proof of reputation algorithm. What I like about this project is that aims to help promising tokens that deserve financing by functioning as a decentralized ICO marketplace or ICO listing platform. Since most advertising platforms have banned ads related to cryptos, I can only imagine how expensive it is now to promote projects. On the other hand, they are fortunate that a platform such as Menlo One is here to help them grow. Their whitepaper can be viewed here https://www.menlo.one

Just listen to this and decide for yourself: https://thebitcoinpodcast.com/hashing-it-out-14/

Yeah, is also one of my choices and have a special #3 place in my portfolio.

As a rapidly growing business sector, e-commerce continues to open up new avenues for exploring, comparing and purchasing products worldwide. Spl.yt, a smart contract protocol, aims improve the e-commerce system for buyers and sellers by automating functions currently performed by “middlemen” marketplaces like Amazon, eBay and Alibaba.
Such popular online platforms have no doubt transformed the way in which we shop and live. Access, convenience, low prices and the availability of a large selection of products are among the many benefits these platforms deliver to consumers. But such benefits provided by centralized corporations come at a cost — increased prices, process inefficiencies and aggressive marketing using huge amounts of personal data. 
Research from “The Enterprise Guide to Global Ecommerce” projects a 246.15 percent increase in global e-commerce sales, from $1.3 trillion in 2014 to $4.5 trillion in 2021. And while Amazon alone accounts for almost half of that revenue, there remains a huge ocean of online opportunities for other businesses to share.
As the e-commerce landscape faces domination by the likes of established industry players, innovative approaches to buying and selling are experiencing roadblocks to advancement. Consumers are often subjected to lengthy searches of multiple product listings in order to assess availability and price favorability. Moreover, vendors, in varying their marketplace options, must keep their inventories current and prevent double selling to avoid taking a hit to their reputation. 
Across this space, middlemen often capture high fees on all transactions, adversely impacting vendor revenues while leading to increased product costs for consumers. There is also a lack of mechanisms in place to support smaller e-commerce vendors in their product sales, particularly as it relates to fraud, spam and consumer dispute resolution. 
Spl.yt takes the power from the big data gobbling giants of e-commerce and gives it back to buyers and sellers, who can freely engage in a true peer-to-peer experience, securely and simply via blockchain technology and smart contracts. Through this decentralized, more efficient system, the middleman is eliminated. Time and money are saved by automating key intermediary functions via smart contracts. Spl.yt token economics incentivizes its users to transact fairly for a more secure e-commerce experience. Data is not mined by any central authority. Private data is protected, not harvested and used.
The Giants of e-commerce will not be taken down by a bigger giant, but by a global community of individuals all freely connecting with each other through a decentralized e-commerce ecosystem By decentralizing e-commerce, these giants will simply no longer be needed. Smart contracts will automatically facilitate payment to service providers along the e-commerce retail chain (affiliate marketers, dropshippers, etc.). And e-commerce giants will go the way of the dinosaur.

With all the fervor around the price of bitcoin and news of crypto exchange hacks, the core advantage of blockchain technology isn’t discussed enough. The reason for an explosion in development of blockchain-powered systems across diverse industries, including finance, advertising, healthcare, e-commerce, and more, boils down to one fundamental desire: eliminate dependence on middlemen. Spl.yt Core Foundation, a Science Blockchain-backed nonprofit operating out of Santa Monica CA, is an open-sourced smart contract-based e-commerce protocol that will support the foundation of a more efficient, transparent, and secure e-commerce system. Spl.yt will help buyers and sellers save time and money by removing middlemen functions and services through decentralizing the e-commerce stack. Spl.yt’s top smart contract capabilities include an automated global inventory system, fractional asset ownership and management, inter- marketplace reputation tracking, fair dispute resolution system, and automated affiliate marketing rewards. All of these features are powered by the blockchain, assuring anyone who buys or sells things online that they will have the most fair and efficient e-commerce experience possible.

“The existing e-commerce regime only benefits a few powerful middlemen at the top of the ‘food chain,’ so to speak,” said Taghehchian. “Ten years ago it was difficult to build an e-commerce website but easier to monetize. Today, it’s easy to build a website using templates but very hard to make profit due to the couple of online storefronts that own nearly 60 percent of the market share. We believe in a new e-commerce structure that is more egalitarian, instead of top-down.”
He reiterated that the goal is to empower all e-commerce players so that they can make a good living and earn rewards for their contributions to foster the health and growth of the entire e-commerce ecosystem.
The grand vision, said Taghehchian, is to introduce an open and global inventory system for product listings across marketplaces, saving buyers and sellers time and resources. Seller listings will be automatically updated across all Spl.yt connected marketplaces, with buyers only needing to search one platform to access accurate product availability and pricing.
He added that the Spl.yt protocol will also be used to incentivize affiliate marketers, such as social media influencers or even would-be-competitor marketplaces, to assist in the sale of a product. This will be achieved by issuing automated affiliate rewards to any party contributing to the sale of the item.
“The potential use cases for improving efficiency, transparency and security across the industry are as endless as our own imaginations,” Taghehchian said. “Our aim continues to be to open doors for innovative businesses and entrepreneurial individuals to achieve their potential using the capabilities enabled by the Spl.yt protocol. Our long-term vision is to keep moving toward a more decentralized future wherein the greater e-commerce ecosystem is owned and operated by people within a fair and automated network of participating parties.”

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.
I was asking myself what to do when cryptocurrency goes down and found out that the most of the privacy coins are undervalued right now.

The best opportunity is to find a privacy-related project with a low total supply (less than 100M), that way the price will be increasing much faster.

I recently found one project called Ethereum Meta, it is related to anonymity and untraceable transaction. They have a very interesting project to build the Anonymous E-Market Place.

They are on exchanges right now, you can check their website: https://ethermeta.com/
Or even better go through their Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2659058.0

I think one of the most popular and promising projects of 2018 will be such as Swipe, EOT, Acorn Collective, Yumerium and others.

With Spl.yt you don’t have to be a millionaire to contemplate owning a Lamborghini. By splitting the cost and care fairly between several owners, verified and regulated by smart contracts using the Spl.yt protocol, two or more drivers could share the privileges — along with the responsibilities, of course — of owning a luxury sports car like a Lamborghini.
You might be thinking, “is this like a timeshare owned by several people?” Well, not exactly. In the traditional version of a “timeshare” for resort property, for instance, people don’t actually own the asset; they pay to rent it. This is because most timeshares are not structured as shared deeded ownerships but as shared leased ownerships, where the developer owns the deeded title to the property, and each timeshare owner holds a leased interestin the property. A typical lease agreement entitles the owner to use the property for a set week/year, or a “floating” week during a set of dates. This kind of complex record-keeping requires middle men, which incurs added expense, which is passed on to the buyers, of course.
A leased ownership generally restricts property transfers more than a true deeded ownership interest. So as an owner of a timeshare, you might be restricted from selling or transferring your timeshare to someone else.

[lehar4512]

Ellen Shapiro, of the law firm Goodman, Shapiro & Lombardi in Dedham, Massachusetts, said of timeshares:
“You’re buying the right to use the locus. You don’t exactly have full legal title…You can convey, sell, leave it to your heirs, or perhaps — depending on the timeshare — rent it out, but you don’t have the entire bundle of rights. At the end of the day, you own a right to use a space during a prescribed time.”
Fun fact: according to industry statistics, 50% to 70% of the timeshare retail price paid after a buyer has listened to an elaborate sales pitch, goes towards marketing. So, for example, if you purchase a timeshare for $20,000, as soon as you leave the presentation room, the true value of the timeshare drops to as low as $6,000! This takes paying for the middleman to new heights, with just one of the middlemen taking a huge cut. Not exactly ideal for a buyer.
The Spl.yt protocol challenges and upgrades that tired paradigm, enabling users to “timeshare anything” without the need for middlemen to drive up prices. This solution could be used to purchase all kinds of expensive assets, such as cars, boats, homes, jewelry, filmmaking equipment, musical instruments, sports or theater season tickets, artwork and other collectors’ items. The various owners can also collectively set the parameters to determine what services to hire to facilitate use and maintenance of the asset, giving rise to an “Uber-like” economy of service providers who cater to fractional assets.

I have observed many projects at this stage and found that IAGON is a promising project in the future. They have developed MVP v2 at the main sale stage. This shows that they are really well prepared for the next stage of success. Refer to it as a suggestion

2017 is a boom year for Coin MLM (Ponzi), the start of the Lending model is the peak success of Bitconnect early in 2017 but when Bitconnect die, it also marks the end of 2017. And of course in this year, projects that want to raise money from investors need products and talent. They will not earn as much money as they did in MLM, but they are going to be very solid, slowly asserting their position.

[jvdp]

As my belief and checked the ann threads I see that some project have big growth in the market.

I love to participate on the bounty and make the money out of it instead of checking projects and invest on the projects directly.

Change
Nauticus
MOZO
Decoin

These project are well good in price and everything according to my view.

Not only does fractional ownership offer opportunities to people who otherwise may not be able to afford or maintain expensive assets on their own, it also provides sellers of these assets with an entirely new consumer base. Assets such as artwork are generally thought to be highly “illiquid,” meaning that even though a work of art may generate a handsome return on investment, finding a buyer can be extremely difficult. One way to increase liquidity in a market, is to increase the number of potential buyers. By enabling fractional ownership, Spl.yt has the potential to expand the buyer pool by a significant percentage. Spl.yt’s protocol can automatically initiate and run digital auctions, eliminating the need for auction houses, which inevitably take a percentage of the final sale — money out of the seller’s pocket.
Given the obvious advantages of fractional ownership to buyers and sellers, why hasn’t this capability been invented previously? The short answer is that the technology to facilitate the sale, use, and maintenance of fractionally-owned assets simply hadn’t been invented until recently. This technology is, of course, blockchain.
Spl.yt uses smart contracts, which are essentially blockchain-based applications, to automate the many transactions involved in the sale, use, and maintenance of fractionally-owned assets. In other words, a process that would normally require intermediaries to carry out (sometimes at such high cost that they wouldn’t be profitable under traditional frameworks), can be simply executed by technology. For example, say two owners of a vacation home want to use the property over the Fourth of July weekend. This process might play out in the below manner:
Alice and Bob each deposit a small amount of Spl.yt tokens (SATs) in order to request use of the property on the same Fourth of July weekend.
Because the two parties requested the same dates, a bidding process is initiated.
Alice bids more than Bob, and so she earns the right to use the property.
Bob’s tokens are returned for him to use on another timeslot’s reservation.
We’re only beginning to realize the potential of blockchain technology, but fractional ownership is certainly one example of how blockchain can give rise to new opportunities that were never before possible. While the Spl.yt community is working to solve the technical problems to make these, the only question that remains for you is: are you ready for your Lamborghini now, or what?

There are projects that are running their ICO even without established exchange.

But nexybit has its own token issuing now, this is becoming popular.

[Warry]

A stupid way to promote for new ICO project. LOL. Why do you think that use lot of low rank account to spam to promote about this new ICO project will make it become better? LOL. I think it'll be different cause people often don't wanna care about this kind of project which promoted by new members in this forum . Beside you wrote so many things about this project but sorry I don't even wanna read them all .

Dispute resolutions with customers can be especially challenging for vendors since different platforms might have very different policies. This lack of consistency calls for more time and energy on the part of both buyers and sellers in reaching a solution. Spl.yt employs a dispute resolution protocol using Spl.yt Access Tokens (SATs) that will facilitate the dispute resolution process.
The process is designed to facilitate a fair and efficient resolutions using a poker-like staking mechanism. Let’s say a buyer claims never to have received a purchase. To make a dispute claim, the buyer deposits a set amount of SATs into escrow. This escrow process is designed to deter fraudulent dispute claims. If the seller confirms the buyer’s claim, the tokens are returned to the buyer, the payment for the the item is refunded and the dispute is resolved. However, if the buyer and seller disagree, the seller will then deposit tokens into escrow to make an opposing claim, triggering the dispute resolution protocol. This is where the Spl.yt community and self regulating aspect of the system come into play. Qualified anonymous arbiters who participate in the Spl.yt ecosystem are assigned to random cases in which they are presented evidence from both sides in order to resolve the dispute. When the resolution is reached, the smart contract will automatically dispense the escrowed tokens to the winner. The arbiter will also receive a small percentage of the escrowed tokens as a fee for their efforts. We see the combination of transparency via the blockchain, smart contract resolutions, and Spl.yt token mechanics as a way for the ecommerce to run in a smooth and fair manner that does not require parties to transact with blind trust.

Today, as TV and video viewing habits change in every country, there is uncertainty and confusion about how to monetize viewers’ time and attention. Television companies don’t know what to charge for it and advertisers don’t know what to pay for it. Tokenizing viewer engagement means that talented creators finally have a way to get paid by the fans they’ve earned, networks have a way to generate new revenue streams, and advertisers will have transparent, safe and accurate audience data on their campaigns. The HIT token and protocol hold the key to the future of viewer interaction with TV and video.

iPowow, the company that brought viewers worldwide the ground-breaking “Participation TV,” presents the next evolution for advertisers, audiences and content producers. iPowow has built over 200 different experiences over the last 8 years that allow viewers to interact with live television and video programs through contests, voting, commenting, Q&A’s, and games. We’ve done this for NBC, ABC, FOX, Disney, ESPN, CNN, Comcast, USA Network, DirecTV, CBC, ServusTV, Red Bull TV, Channel 9, Sinclair, Tribune, CNBC, Univision and online platforms like Twitch and Facebook. Our brand partners include VISA, McDonalds, Lexus, Target, Samsung and Coca Cola. We help brands develop meaningful relationships with viewers. And this creates the kind of brand loyalty that ignites exponential sales and growth of a product or service. With over a billion viewer interactions to date, our platform has a proven track record of transforming the act of watching TV and video into a live participation experience for the viewer.
Our new blockchain ecosystem for television and video content, based on the HIT protocol means:
• Viewers get paid to watch & participate with their favorite shows
• Content Creators engage viewers & generate revenue
• Advertisers gain transparency & insight on their audience
All the players in the media ecosystem benefit using HITs, for a sustainable exchange of HIT tokens between members. Let’s see how this works:

For Viewers
We are creating a global marketplace — a digital Shopping Plaza. With the HIT protocol, every moment a viewer spends watching or interacting with their favorite show is a way to put HIT tokens into their account, which they can seamlessly use to purchase digital and physical goods and services on our inventoried item management system. This transforms the anonymous consumer patterns on TV and online video into a worldwide economy where the consumer of video content is fully engaged and in control, with more choices, tailored to each viewer’s preferences. No more whack-a-moling through annoying and seemingly random pop-up ads a viewer has no interest in, before being allowed to see desirable content.
For TV Networks and Content Creators
The HIT protocol provides TV networks with new interactive marketing campaigns to enhance the viewer experience and keep them coming back for more. To help drive repeat engagement, broadcasters and their programs will be given special campaign management tools, including the ability to create show-specific badges and achievement levels attached to limited-time campaigns. Sponsorship integration will allow the promotion of partners within given campaigns. Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) will present opportunities for partners to recycle evergreen or continued-demand content with new interactive experiences.
Compensation for content creators on channels like YouTube has always been an area of contention in an ever-changing terrain of percentages and viewer stipulations that make earning a fair reward for quality content a challenge. When viewers interact with creators, the HIT protocol tracks that engagement, enabling the content creator to learn more about their audience which in turn helps in the creation of better content.
Using the HIT protocol, these kinds of creators will be able to choose how they will be compensated for their content to let the market decide the value of their contributions. TV shows and content creators can give viewers the power to choose the outcome of character eliminations, plot twists and affect the future by voting with their HIT tokens for an enhanced synergistic rapport to develop a loyal following.
For Brands
Today, brand advertisers don’t have any real data about who sees their TV commercials or what viewers do after seeing commercials. The HIT protocol changes this by allowing full transparency so advertisers can see who is interacting with their commercials or with any interactive promotions they run within TV shows or video content. (Of course, viewers must give their consent to be tracked and they are rewarded for their consent.) This never-before-possible level of transparency gives brands a new level of insight into their customers and potential customers, so they can tailor their advertising, campaigns, messaging, and even products to a specific audience more effectively and for higher sales and a better rate on investment for advertising.
The HIT blockchain protocol of iPowow creates the best possible ecosystem for Viewers, Networks/Content Creators and Brands. It’s win/win/win for everyone. Come up to the next level of TV and video with us!
