ELIGMA crowdsale is LIVE. If you would like to participate, the first step is to whitelist your address and apply for KYC here: https://bit.ly/2HeDDp3

What Eligma and CTXC have in common is only that both are incorporating AI but the purpose of platforms is completely different and the products cannot be compared. For example, AI will be used in many parts of Eligma product, such as to improve discovery results, compare blueprints and product specifications to be able to suggest alternative options, to suggest the value of items owned and included in user’s inventory, the best time to sell it, etc...

You can read more about the AI in the interview with our lead machine learning engineer Bostjan Mrak: https://medium.com/eligma-blog/our-lead-machine-learning-engineer-reveals-how-eligma-will-think-a5206da31a4b

We are currently in the middle of our crowdsale and we will keep community updated on the exchanges where ELI token will be listed. So far we can tell you that we are already in conversations with several exchanges in order to be listed as soon as possible after the crowdsale ends, but the details will be disclosed when the deals are finished and signed.

Hi Hakamura, what you wrote is far from true and hereby we will explain why. Following problems were identified and will be addressed by Eligma:

• Online product research and shopping are time consuming: People spend a lot of time researching online to find the product and the deal that suits their needs, but even the most persistent ones cannot check all the online store offers. Users are never certain, whether they found the best possible deal.
• User privacy issues: Users disclose personal data with every store, where they want to place an order. Their every move on the store’s website is also being monitored. This means that stores are collecting extensive behavioural data about each user and can connect that data directly to the person.
• Registration with every online store is required: Users have to separately register with each online store they want to shop in. Due to this inconvenience, they can be discouraged from placing an order in a new online store. Keeping track of different accounts can be a hassle and therefore consumers are returning only to stores, where they are already registered.
• Keeping track of household belongings: Users do not have an overview of what they own and how much their belongings are worth. Every household has many products that still have value, but are never used and people forget about even having them.
• Creating second-hand listings for faster sale conversions: When trying to sell used items, users are having problems setting the appropriate price and selecting a second-hand market with the highest probability of finding potential buyers. Usually they list products on some of those markets and forget about the listing, as it rarely converts into a successful sale.
• Payments with cryptocurrencies are not possible: With growing wealth held in cryptocurrencies, the demand for conducting payments in those
  currencies is growing. Very few online stores stepped into this direction, even though all the indicators are showing that in the future cryptocurrencies are going to become mainstream.
• Vast number of individual loyalty programs: Big retailers have introduced loyalty programs a long time ago, but those programs are not
  connected. This means that in order for users to really benefit from a program, they have to keep track of every one of them, which is next to impossible.
• Incomplete or inaccurate product descriptions: Most online stores provide their own descriptions. The quality of those descriptions varies from store to store and it is very hard for users to know which one of them is relevant. In most cases, when users are searching for products with a higher price, they have to first visit the manufacturer’s website to find the description they can trust.
• Lack of a personalized approach: Despite the adoption of new technologies, most online stores are still not embracing the personalized shopping experience approach. In many cases, online stores are displaying inappropriate products to the wrong customers and it is up to the users to browse the store and find the product that best suits their needs.

As it is understood for more complex projects, Eligma is a modular platform and features will be added in accordance with the roadmap at latest. Our first solution, which is a cryptocurrency payment gateway called Elipay is already being tested in BTC City (one of the biggest shopping and entertainment areas in Europe) and will be launched very soon and made availabile to its users. Have you seen this posts:

• https://medium.com/eligma-blog/jo%C5%BEe-mermal-eligmas-cofounder-makes-the-first-elipay-transaction-in-an-offline-store-eae6c3a728df
• DJ Umek, one of the biggest international stars of the electronic scene, also became one of the first Elipay users! We joined him for his first crypto purchase at the Tomas sport2 Sneakers store in BTC City.

All of the features are already being developed and we will regularly inform the community about our process. For example on the following link you can find an intro for discovery pillar: https://medium.com/eligma-blog/eligmas-minimum-viable-product-demonstration-8611b45dd999. Discovery pillar will be launched in Slovenia already in this year where we will optimise Eligma for our intended market entry strategy that starts already next year.

It looks like another AI based on blockchain, I like Chinese AI project, CTXC, it seems you two are similar. Where are the exchanges we can buy your token from exchanges? Any hints? Thanks.

There are certain features on the platform that will with utilization of blockchain technology enable transparent and unalterable data:
 

• Traceability: Any product, purchased through the Eligma platform or manually added to the user`s Product inventory, will receive a Digital Item Profile (DIP), that will be stored in a sidechain. A product with DIP will be traceable from the moment it was purchased to the present day. Events like change of ownership and warranty details will be trackable through publicly accessible sidechain.
• Unalterable transactions and records - On sidechain, DIPs will be stored as Smart Contracts (transactions), that will form a transparent ledger of blocks, inherently resistant to modification of the data. Sidechain block's hashes will be stored on Ethereum Network and thus enable everyone to check that blocks remained unchanged since the moment of creation.
• Cryptocurrency - utilizing our services with Ethereum ERC-20 compliant ELI utility token we created a portable and tradeable digital token, exchangeable between users.
• Smart Contracts - to support decentralized second market deals between users, we will assist in the process of formation of Smart Contracts, that will contain vital information about the subject of exchange.
• Usability - other web and decentralized applications will be able to use sidechain data either to analyze data or track certain patterns.

Community Update: All ELI tokens, not sold in our crowdsale, will be burned

https://medium.com/eligma-blog/community-update-all-eli-tokens-not-sold-in-our-crowdsale-will-be-burned-34b8ba83b672

Wise deicision!



By listening to our community and taking its voice into account, we have made an important decision. We will burn all ELI tokens that will not be sold in our crowdsale.

What is token burning

This simply means that whatever number of ELI tokens that will not be sold in our crowdsale will be destroyed forever. If we combine that with the fact that there will be no more ELI token generation events in the future, it means that the token supply will remain fixed. It will also prevent Eligma to hold a large percentage of ELI tokens and have a too large of a share in the ELI token economy.

The Eligma crowdsale

We were considering this option for a while and the feedback we received from our community only confirmed our reasoning that this is the correct way to move forward. You can still participate in our token crowdsale until 8th May, for which we have also locked the ETH exchange rate at 800 $.

Answer is Eligma =)

How do you picture e-commerce in 5 years?

People create trends and technologies that help us raise the quality of our lives according to our needs. That’s why I believe it’s extremely important to listen to people’s wishes, needs and changing shopping and processing habits, strive to optimize them and create a people-friendly environment. We can already see the arrival of a hybrid shopping and trading concept that will greatly simplify our shopping practices. Buyers will enjoy a safe, quick and simplified shopping experience that will represent a permanent connection of the physical and digital worlds. ELIGMA is representing a large part of e-commerce and online shopping future. It will change and simplify online shopping with its advanced technological solutions and functionalities and by doing so create new trends, guidelines and online shopping habits. The BTC company will always do its best to implement new technologies that will enable a modern and friendly shopping environment.

Yeah, Umek is quite "crypto aware". He is also a part of another Slovenian ICO, Viberate. They plan to move organizing the music festivals and concerts on the blockchains, where all the data about the venue will be stored

How exciting🙌🏻 DJ Umek, one of the biggest international stars of the electronic scene, becomes one of the first Elipay users! We joined him for his first crypto purchase at the Tomas sport2 Sneakers store in BTC City. Can you guess what he bought?

Will blockchain be used only for the payment system eli pay or will it be used for something else also?

History was made yesterday in BTC City, one of the largest shopping and entertainment complexes in Europe that is becoming a cradle of innovation. Its president and Eligma’s cofounder Jože Mermal paid for a two-hour spa package with Bitcoins, marking the first payment using the Elipay cryptocurrency gateway.

We caught up with Jože after the big event for a short chat.

What persuaded you to not only join the project, but also invest in it?

The BTC company and myself have always been open to ground-breaking and innovative ideas that simplify and upgrade existing systems and frameworks and society-friendly concepts. With this vision we also managed to establish BTC CITY, the biggest business, shopping, recreational, cultural and innovative centre in SE Europe, which hosts more than 21 million visitors every year. That’s why I believe in Eligma and support it. It is a project that will enable simplified and modern online shopping for people in Slovenia and all over the world. This is how the BTC company will do its part in creating and developing new shopping process trends and provide its visitors with a modern online and shopping experience.

Why do BTC City and its retailers find it important to implement new technologies, especially blockchain technologies?

BTC CITY has always been an environment, whose main goal was the well-being of its visitors, buyers and business partners. Our habits are changing, and every segment of our everyday lives is becoming simpler. The main building blocks of what I mentioned are technologies that we are gradually implementing into our lives and which we have mostly accepted and cannot picture our lives without them. The BTC company has always embraced changing environments, habits and trends as we want to offer our visitors and business partners a modern and advanced surrounding where they will feel good and happily create and develop their business goals. Among a number of other functionalities, blockchain technology enables transparency and traceability, which are the two key building blocks of every system in the private or public sphere. That is what we want to offer all of our visitors and business partners.


Elipay is Eligma’s cryptocurrency transaction gateway. What will it bring to the BTC City? What advantages do you see in cryptocurrencies and what do you personally think about them?

BTC is a free-thinking company that is creating an open, modern and innovative ecosystem. We want to give our visitors and business partners options and opportunities. That includes different methods of paying for services and products. People must have the freedom to decide how they want to shop and pay. We have transited from cash management to card and online payments. Currency exchange has become quick and easy, so I believe it’s time to embrace the future and not hide from it. Cryptocurrencies are already here, so we want to enable all BTC CITY visitors to pay however they want. With the Elipay transaction system we will give them exactly that free will and an open society.

Eligma will perform its initial tests in BTC City. Why are BTC City and its Living Lab so suitable for this purpose?

The BTC CITY Living lab (testing environment) is an ecosystem within the BTC CITY Ljubljana. As a city within Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, it’s unique in a spatial and business sense. Therefore, testing different technologies and prototypes is something that is natural to us, as it allows us to give our visitors access to the latest technologies (Eligma, Nedo, Smart parking, BTC Autonomous vehicle Living Lab, SmartCity, etc.). At the same time visitors provide us with very important information and real feedback and insights that tell us whether that solution, technology or prototype is the correct one for our and / or the international market.

ELI token was not chosen as the primary currency since at first payments will be possible with BTC and BCH. But as stated we will very soon add also support for ETH and ERC20 tokens among which is also our ELI token. Support to other cryptocurrencies is possible and will depend on market requests
