Most promising projects in 2018

[SmartIphone]

The top coins are always lower risk and the reason is they have shown promising technology/use case. Hence my core holdings are ETH, NEO, XLM, XRP and ADA.

Low MC coins have the higher risk but rewards can be ENORMOUS. My low MC coins are XSPEC and PRL.

XSPEC - After the PM Mandica let go of the bad apples in the team, XSPEC has shown to be strong team and even stronger community. They have hired core devs and are still hiring more devs and continue to push out github commits and constantly update the roadmap. Additionally the coin addresses one of the major concerns in crypto/DLT i.e. Privacy and being a POS coin makes it even more attractive.

PRL - PRL is another beaten down gem. The team is strong and constantly works on development. The prices dumped after the mainnet release but in the long term (2yr+), I think this coin will do great.

Maker, Mixin and Bitcoin Cash cost more than the Ethereum so I don't think that Ethereum can cost more than the bitcoin because bitcoin is much older here in the market.

^The first two I have never heard about and I saw them recently in the Coinmarketcap in the first page and it's surprising that within a short period of time new coins are listed in the first page.

The iPowow folks are planning to use blockchain as the technological foundation for their new business. What iPowow calls HIT tokens and the HIT protocol can benefit the TV business by offering three solutions to problems such as viewers watching on noncommercial platforms, inconsistent cross-platform audience measurement and a lack of data about TV advertising, iPowow CEO Gavin Douglas said. Benefits for Viewers, Advertisers With the HIT protocol, viewers get paid to watch shows, content creators and networks engage viewers and generate more revenue from digital viewing, and advertisers get transparency and audience insights. It would work this way: A viewer tunes in a show and sees a graphic that says they’re getting five HIT tokens. The viewer either clicks his or her remote or goes to a second screen to activate an account and accept the tokens. The viewer must have granted GDPR consent to share data. Later, the viewer can go to a digital shopping plaza to buy things with the HIT tokens. A number of large retailers have expressed interest in letting viewers use HIT tokens to buy real merchandise, Douglas said. Jill Rosengard Hill, executive VP at market research firm Magid, said there was potential to the idea of a reward program for TV. “There is a segment of consumers who are open to the exchange of their data for a fee,” she said. A recent Magid study found 33% of mobile users said they would give up access to their data in exchange for a discount. “Marketers are looking at loyalty programs or the exchange of coins, gifts or money to drive loyalty and to drive tunein,” she said.There have been previous efforts to create reward systems for watching TV. GetGlue, which rewarded viewers with stickers, was acquired in 2012 by Viggle, a mobile app that offered points that could be exchanged for gift cards or access to premium content. For the past seven years, iPowow has been in what it dubbed the “participation TV” business, creating interactive features that can be sponsored for 200 shows on networks such as ABC, Fox and USA, local stations and digital video platforms such as Facebook Live and Twitch. For Twitch, iPowow created an extension that lets viewers pay gamers they’re watching live and have input into how games will be played. Douglas said iPowow has demonstrated that its system works whether on the first screen or second screen, and on all platforms — linear broadcast, VOD, over-the-top and online. He hopes to raise the millions iPowow will need in August. Blockchain Migration for HIT iPowow plans to build its new HIT protocol on a blockchain foundation and migrate its current technology to blockchain as well by year end. Blockchain enables the cryptocurrency HIT tokens, which cost less to distribute initially than real dollars and also provide transparency, immutability and consistency while decentralizing account information. The HIT protocol will also be open, allowing other companies to develop apps, which will increase the utility of the system. iPowow has been scanning the horizon but doesn’t see any competitor ready to implement an effective TV rewards program. “The way we see it is, someone going to do this,” Douglas said. “Someone’s going to produce a media engagement token that’s global and covers all video interactions, and people get rewarded for watching and they can go spend it on things. We say it’s going to be us, so that’s what we’re going to do.Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

I think that Dash and Ripple are the most great projects in this year becaus ethey show good and stable raise during long term

[TheLoser]

I think in 2018 the project will be very successful AtlantICO Network platform .
The project is based on a proven successful business model

✔ The project team has already concluded a number of agreements on the practical use of AtlantICO Network platform with a number of pharmaceutical networks and medical clinics around the world

✔ AtlantICO Network project is recommended for use by leading experts from all over the world

✔ The technology on the basis of which AtlantICO Network platform works is patented and has no analogues in the world

You can join AtlantICO Network project by purchasing ATL tokens as a part of the ICO campaign. ATL tokens comply with the Mosaic standard and are utility tokens that help to build a relationship between the platform participants and provide an opportunity to interact with the goods and services presented on the platform.

There is a lot of different projects with a promising features and great potential but honestly in this bear market it's very difficult for me if which is the best projects because there are many good and scam projects.

I have already checked dozens of different project and decided to pick up Aeron!
First of all it is just one more scammy ICO, at second the price is at the bottom, at third team is making a giveaway https://medium.com/@aeronaero/aerotrips-aeron-gleam-io-giveaway-invitation-cdba4c2468e6 and price will most likely give even more up!

Price for all the tokens are on its bottom! A lot of coins are worth of picking up now. Aeron has to be in portfolio for sure but not all in ARN

That depends on the size of the portfolio and free cash to invest. If person has just 3k USD to invest then worth a shot to make all in Aeron. Market cap is just 3 million USd but volume on Binace is always 1 million USD and price is growing. Moreover team is doing marketing actively

No matter  how big or small portfolio is - no need in investing in one single project! No matter how promising it! The last example ETH - the top alts but it dropped the most from top 20 in a week! Who knew that was possible? Now one. But it happend. Thats portfolio has to be diversified. Aeron is good project for investing, right. But still not all in as I wrote above

It seems to me that first of all you need to pay attention to the public interest in the product itself, which is provided by this or that team. Which companies can be very promising, even with a bad state of the crypto-currency market.

Have a look at Bitbay, it's a good project with a promising future.

The HIT Protocol includes several critical pathways for HITs to flow. First, a content provider integrates the iPowow interface with content, such as a TV show. During the show, viewers are prompted with a call to action to participate in some way with the content they are watching. Viewers can respond to the call to action directly on the device on which they are watching the content or through a second device. Once viewers sign up to begin earning rewards, they can interact with specific elements of the show and accumulate HITs for their time and interaction. These valuable HIT tokens can then be used on the Digital Shopping Plaza to purchase physical and digital goods, access to more content, and experiences offered by our content partners.Get Started
The entrypoint for all viewers to access their HIT balances is the “HIT Account.” To start, adoption incentives are offered for signing up to the platform, creating a profile, and referring others. Data incentives are also offered for viewers who opt-in to provide their viewing and interaction data to support their favorite shows. This provides valuable data to brands and show creators. Gamification incentives are offered for competing on participation leaderboards, and achieving consecutive login streaks. We include milestone incentives for those reaching and maintaining HITs balance milestones and leveling-up their profiles. This encourages viewers to keep track of their HITs and engage in opportunities to increase their numbers.
In addition to driving engagement and participation, fans have the opportunity to create social profiles to display their earned recognition for activity in the community. The most dedicated and active participants of the HIT community will also be first in line for feature and content test groups as the platform develops and grows, encouraging healthy competition among users.
Earn Rewards for Watching & Engaging
Viewers earn HITs by watching and interacting with shows and ads. Poles and contests are a couple of the ways viewers can engage. Loyalty and rewards incentives are presented by broadcasters, brands and advertising campaigns, customized to viewers.
Viewers can circulate HITs by spending them to influence the trajectory of a given show. This can be done by voting and by sending donations or tips to broadcasters, streamers and content creators. This active exchange of tokens, encourages viewer participation with shows as well as with each other, strengthening the show’s fan base and the health of the ecosystem.
Tools for Shows and Advertisers
In a world where sequels are king, and building on existing universes matters (both for dollars and mindshare), iPowow has the features to match the market. To drive repeat engagement, broadcasters and showrunners are given several campaign management tools. We offer the ability to create show-specific badges and achievements matched to limited-time campaigns for brands. This highly targeted marketing is especially effective with dedicated fans of ongoing series. The incentivized model powered by HITs ultimately allows for fandom to reign supreme, providing a highly effective mechanism for networks to better understand their specific audiences.
Looking to the Future
We are committed to fostering the creation of new and exciting audience engagement applications by rewarding developers with HITs for building novel solutions on our protocol. Our Source Development Kit, or SDK, and GitHub repository will enable easy scaling, pulling from and adding to the codebase. With our application distribution system, iPowow’s worldwide partnerships for the HIT Protocol will be an attractive launchpad for apps made for the HIT token. The true power of the HIT Protocol will be unlocked by allowing developers to distribute HIT-based interactive apps across a global platform.Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

Unlike most Blockchain projects that are being freshly minted without an established track record, iPowow has a documented portfolio of over 200 different initiatives over the past 8 years, boosting viewer interactions through gamification, contests, comments, and Q&A.

The company has done work with NBC, ABC, FOX, Disney, ESPN, CNN, Comcast, USA Network, to name a few. In addition, VISA, McDonalds, Lexus, Target, Samsung and Coca Cola are among the brand partners iPowow has assisted in developing meaningful relationships with viewers.

iPowow’s “Participation TV” concept allows viewers to connect directly to TV content via second screen mobile devices such phones and iPads. The company, through the use of blockchain, aims to deepen connections between viewers and content providers through tokenized content.

In short, this new platform based on the HIT protocol will allow:

Viewers to get compensated for watching and participating with their favorite shows
Content Creators to engage with viewers and create a revenue stream
Advertisers to gain transparency & insight on their audiences.
With this level of transparency brands will now have access to new kernels of insight into their customers and potential customers. This allows for the more effective targeting of advertising and product campaigns to specific audiences, leading to higher sales and advertising return on investment.

Says Douglas: “By tokenizing the Global TV and Video industries, we are able to harmonize and optimize three critical elements of the ecosystem: viewers, networks/content creators, and advertising brands. As the adoption and use among these three groups takes shape, we’ll be able to spark a new set of holistic, collaborative relationships, with increased transparency and added value.”

Towards this quest, iPowow is developing a smart contract for integration into its existing platform — one designed to enhance the overall experience for viewers, content providers, and brands. This blockchain-based system will provide all stakeholders with greater opportunities for engagement, connection, revenue and incentive rewards.

Asked about the genesis and evolution of iPowow, Douglas had this to say: “While we had been aware of Blockchain for quite some time, it hadn’t really grabbed our attention until the end of 2017. It seemed to us that our gamification platform—where we were already providing points to viewers for answering questions live on television with their phone, or live on a laptop—was just one small step away from a tokenized viewing experience. So, we dug into it at the beginning of 2018 and decided we would set off down the track, of migrating iPowow interactive platform onto the Blockchain.”

Douglas then offered his assessment of what he and his team are learning on this journey: “We are discovering how difficult it must be for other companies to launch a Blockchain project from zero. Frankly, it must be extremely tough because we ourselves are finding it to be an unusual business challenge even with us having a platform that has traction, relationships and contact with every broadcaster in the US.”

He concludes: “Blockchain is like the wild west. It is a fairly straightforward concept, but when you get into it, there are a number of different complexities. It’s so important to pick the right way of doing things to ensure that our product is going to be effective. Gratifyingly, through the work of our engineering team and our advisors, iPowow’s platform as it stands is extremely robust and only a couple of steps away from what it needs to be in terms of the Hit token flowing through it. This has been very gratifying.”Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

It can be said that 2018 is full of good and promising projects, but because there are too many ICOs, it makes competition very tight and difficult, making good projects fail to achieve softcap.

[pageraji]

Most promising project right now is futurax/FTXT, now this token listed in mercatok, hotbit and will be winning vote in indodax, next target is latoken and binance, nice move by community and dev

[CbineUltra]

This is a very cool and strong idea. There are a lot of speculators and intermediaries now. Because of this, the price of goods is constantly growing. If this system works then it will be of great benefit to many people.

If he prediction of bounty hunters is not necessarily because we as a bounty are just trying and choosing which ones can benefit us more, but that is all an opinion and hope that is not yet certain, hopefully our choice is right and as expected.

[drakewear322]

Here are so many projects showed up during last year but a;lso so many scamers and I am afraid to try something knew!

[Oleg88]

Now there are very few projects that really deserve attention. I participated in 5 different ICOs and only 2 of them turned out to be normal

[napman]

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.

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 a hidden GEM 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 already trading on exchanges, you can check their website: https://ethermeta.com/
Or even better go through their Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2659058.0
