Topic: [ANN] Doft – a new uber of trucking is announcing $50M ICO - page 9. (Read 5298 times)

Thank you!

Combining the crypto and logistics opens a lot of opportunities in both spheres. The transportation industry can be unified all over the world, based on a crypto currency which is backed by a really working business. The market is really huge now and it is growing. So the possibility of scaling is plain to see.

True. Linking blockchain and Doft is the future of trucking and probably some more segments also.

Doft is already functional in trucking, but with blockchain and decentralized aproach we can scale it to the adjacent verticals.


Here's my look at Doft Platform's possible verticals:

• 1. Trucking - implemented already
• 2. Taxi/Cabs - the free open-source client will be implemented with the Doft Protocol release
• 3. Hotel Rentals
• 4. Apt/House Rentals
• 5. Food/Other Delivery
• 6. Geo-services booking (e.g. TaskRabbit)
• 7. Other on-demand GEO cases.

Is there any proof of that money you raised as seed round in 2016 ? I will be watching to catch up with more information. It is really needs time to read and analysis the project by different angles and aspects. Where can find linkedin or social media accounts of those team members ?

Amazon and Uber have expressed their intentions to go after on-demand trucking market. This proves that Doft is in the hot market and that there is a real need of on-demand truck matching technology.

You surely know that patents cannot compete with word of mouth and open-source trend in [Suspicious link removed]munity. While they file patents, we build an on-demand open source blockchain based protocol. We want to attract many adopters to make our technology strong enough.

I really think that Amazon and Uber Freight can use Doft Platform in the future and our platform will benefit from them. So let's think about Amazon as our prospective customer who will benefit from Doft.

Doft Current Features:
1. iPhone/Android App for Shippers (can post any freight and search for the nearest truck). Sutiable for small shippers (Doft takes % of transaction).
2. iPhone/Android App for Truck Drivers (receive job offers). Sutiable for small carriers (Doft takes % of transaction).
3. Loadboard (web version) for Shippers and Carriers - a freight marketplace. Sutiable for big shippers and carriers (Doft takes flat monthly fee).


Doft Platform Future Features:
1. Doftcoins (DFC) will be implemented as default currency in Doft
2. Blockchain based open source on-demand protocol. Doft will be the first clinet to be based on this protocol. The first implementation will be for trucking industry and taxi.
3. Doft Platform will offer free open-source technology to start your own taxi or trucking business in minutes. Just download Doft client for Taxi or Trucking, change logo and start earning your own comissions on each transaction. This will be a franchise model which we think will bootstrap the Doft Platform.
4. All truck drivers/taxi drivers and shippers/passengers registered with any Doft client will be transaprant to all  Doft newtork. This will help us to build the biggest transportation network.

Thank you. Logistics optimization is one of the biggest trends for the nearest 10+ years. Doft is going to disrupt and improve the overall transportation market performance by adding more efficiency to logistics transactions.

only this time I found uber combined with crypto, this is really unique, it's a very good project, in the real world, uber has become a much-needed community, so this project will be more advanced with this kind of step, good once

What are you doing to stay competetive against logistics giant like Amazon?
They are filing incredible patents, it looks likr trucking may be a thing of the past in 50 years time.

I like positioning in the logistics industry block chain technology, after all, based on the breakdown of the field solutions, landing the highest

Yes, I'm working on the bountry campaign offering now. Could you please advise what is the best practice in terms of reach out  efficiency and rewards. I will prepare the document and we can start.

I'm pretty sure that we can spread the word very fast. We're targeting to raise $5M within hours after the start.


I received lots of real offerings from investors for the last 2 days after the announcement. Seems like it will be the hottest ICO this fall.


If you want some Doftcoins and are ready for the bounty campaign please advise how we can do it with the best efficience and fair rewards.

Hi, Would you be holding any bounty program for your ICO? I would be glad to join and participate in the twitter campaign of you ICO if you would have one. Thank you

Thank you for your interest))

I will improve the post soon (as there are posts that it looks a bit simple). And I want to say a few words about who we are.

Doft is an established startup. We have already raised $500k investment from the Silicon Valley Angel Investors.

We have 8 people working full time on Doft project for 2 years now.
 
We have developed the mobile platform for the drivers and shipper and it is fully usable now.
We do have more than 150K loads daily, and we have 7000 drivers assigned and the amount of them increases.


Doft has integrated with the biggest american load aggregate PostEverywhere.com and the carrier monitoring service CarrierCheckup.com

And last but not least - we have people like David Gee (the founder of GetLoaded.com) as the part of our team.

Totally we have a fully working App for on-demand transportation needs.


So you can see, that we are the company with the firm background.

I will add the team to this post, so you could better understand who we are and that we have resources not to copy or clone smth. We have been working on Doft for 2 years, we have software developers and trucking professionals in the team.

$50M for building the unified protocol of on-demand communications between smartphones which will let users book a truck with one click by sending the geo-information within smart contract to closest drivers. The same is aplicable to taxies and other services. We will make it open-source and let people start their own businesses based on Doft platform. The gloal is to collect all "people with cars" into one network. Imagine all smartpones linked to cars into one network called Doft platform. The cars will be transparent to all platform and anyone who will start a franchise will have an access to all cars/trucks in the network.  I will soon release a whitepaper, so you can understand it.

We can start scaling Doft right now becuase the software is ready for trucking market but we want to make it open-source and unite all the on-demand trucking  and taxi startups under our umbrella - Uber, Uber Freight, Lyft, Gett, Juno, Trucker Path, Convoy and you name it.

Doft - one protocol - one solution for on-demand transportation.

I will transfer this question to our tech team - I will post the answer asap.

Thank you)))

50 Million USD for some software that you're going to clone or copy ...or a simple token on eth

Event though the post is so simple, but i think that this project is really interesting.
- So when will the ICO started?
- Will you open some bounties?

We have established the startup Doft in uber of trucking space. Our competitors Trucker Path and Convoy has attracted $50M and $82M of investments from VCs and they do an old-school improvement of trucking.

Doft is a new era logistics optimizing company and that is why I personally feel that implementing blockchain in our transactions will significantly improve the adoption and efficiency of our platform.

Furthermore think about new protocol which I have on my mind:

Doft on-demand geographical Protocol:

• Decentralized

Based on Ethereum implemented on smartphones. Means no servers, the community will own the major part of it. All smartphones are connected in a single doft network which will be used for on-demand transactions in logistics and not only (everywhere where gps coordinates exist).

• Open source

Means you download the template client, change logo and run your own franchise in minutes. We will let change wallet number and commissions % to start your own franchise of Doft platform. Initially the sample app will be Doft Cab for taxi drivers and passengers. After its release anyone in the world downloading our open source code and starting franchise will contribute to Doft on-demand platform. You can start your Uber business in minutes by downloading Doft Cab open source app, set wallet, set commissions, attract drivers, passengers and earn money. Doft platform will have a common database of all passengers and drivers in the world - they will be transparent for the platform.

• Mining/Profitable

Everyone will earn Doftcoins by being "in work" status and online sending their GPS positions to the network - this will improve the platform and help first believers earn Doftcoins by installing Doft app and being online.

• Scalable/Verticals

The doft platform will be initially presented for taxi sphere but Doft is already working in trucking so we will immediately implement classes for committing on-demand transactions in trucking - e.g. Shippers post loads and truck drivers accept them. Further we will expand protocol for on demand rentals - hotels, apartments etc. Then hiring people smth like TaskRabbit. The Doft platform will become a standard for GPS on-demand transactions.


If you don't get it, it means that you are smart and me wasn't so good at explaining please ask questions. 

D.F.

Thanks for asking, I will provide you and the community with the necessary information to evaluate the offer.  We are not one-day company created intentionally for ICO. That's why we prepare all the documentation especially whitepaper in real-time mode. I will release the whitepaper very soon. This will be huge.

Regards,
Dmitri Fedorchenko
CEO and Founder of Doft, Inc.

I think you should add more detail of your project in this thread..

Thanks!
Sure, there will be a discount for early buyers. The total coin supply and the amount of discounts will be provided a little bit later along with white paper. We just posted the intention for ICO. Will keep you posted here along the way.
 
Ethereum smart contracts will be used for building decentralized mobile-based platform of doft supply and demand networks.

I like the concept of this project.
Combining trucking transportation and IT and make it as crypto currency based product.
It's really unique concept.
