Thank you so much @hugeblack for your interest.
You should definitely try-out the beta if you have some free time! We tried our best to make a unique design and a seamless user experience.
Here is the beta---
Now to your questions:
Can the user choose what he wants from sources or is it mandatory?We collect data from a variety of trusted sources and active communities (social platforms, blockchain economics, news...). Our ambition is to cover as many sources as possible and bring the most extensive view of the blockchain ecosystem. We use this collected data to build relevant indicators on 3000 crypto-assets, such as prices correlations, sentiment analysis, number of mentions, etc. At the end of the day, it's up to the user to chose between these sources and indicators to build his own dashboard. Nothing is mandatory. Of course, we're very happy to receive any suggestion on how we could build and provide the community with even more compelling indicators!
Right now, we're working on adding new available data sources, so that the user can access every relevant piece of information in a single place.
What is the algorithm to check the authenticity of the news?We use third parties news aggregator: CryptoControl and BNC Cryptocurrency Newsfeed. They're proficient in identifying trusted and relevant news for every cryptocurrency. In the future, we hope to be able to aggregate and check the authenticity of the news ourselves.
How can I measure the extent of news on the price? Will it depend on the opinions of specialists or will it be up to the user?Funny you should say that. We're currently working on a widget that would display "hot news" near price charts, for every cryptocurrency. This way you can measure how prices are influenced by news, announcements, regulations, etc.
Here is an exclusive preview!
How will this mechanism work with shit-coins/scam? Manipulation using twitter account? Fake bumping?FUD?That's a very interesting question. Right now we collect data from every available crypto and token, without discrimination. You could use our GitHub indicators to identify shit-coins, since most of the time there is no coding activities. But we understand that this might not be enough. What would you suggest we could do to improve in this area?
Finally, will the project be free? Or some paid services will be charged.Right now the service is completely free and you can access data on 3000+ digital currencies and tokens. Starting in the beginning of 2020, users will have to subscribe to the premium plan ($11.90/month) to have access to all the information and dynamically refreshed data. The free plan with limited crypto and indicators will still be available. Early birds will be granted 6 months of free usage.
