Watch Out, the ICOs Are Coming

...

The 3 typical characteristics, team, product and market seem to have taken a secondary position to the 3 new magical words: tokens, blockchain and decentralization.

Token utility linkage is not always there

The assumption that everything with a potential network effect is going to work with a decentralization starting point is not entirely true. The blockchain is not for everything.

The solution or product being developed needs to have a solid business model linkage that has a particular value when decentralization and/or tokenization of actions take place. The promise of a new model needs to be very compelling.

In the name of decentralization, the promises are big. You can’t just slap a token to anything, and expect magic to happen.

The token is not the business model. The value proposition or utility that is enabled by the token is the business model, and that linkage needs to be there early on. If the direction is not right, the chosen path will not lead to a good place.

...

Neither WeTrust nor Edgeless need their own token. Someone will create copies of their smart contracts which operate with ETH or BTC or which ever is the most liquid and popular token.

Users are not going to adopt a different colored coin for every service they want to use, nor go buy colored coins for every WeTrust fee they need to pay.

These companies need to develop business models that don't depend on them each creating their own unit-of-exchange, because monetary theory informs us that will never happen!

The ICO craze is for taking money from stupid people. Simple as that.

All of you who are buying these tokens are going to lose.
Maybe it really does not need to.

Well, you could copy a smart contract, but you can't copy a team or their experience.
Keep in mind that any ICO is just like any startup. Lots of uncertainty in the early stages, all around. So, it's not entirely fair to pick on one or the other. They all have to prove their models and traction. The ICO is just like a funding event. Better to judge them on what they will do with the money later and how they progress.

How does WeTrust make money?

The WeTrust platform plans to charge fees on certain types of transactions, and for future premium value added services. Although WeTrust does not charge fees on the Trusted Lending Circle platform at the moment, we plan to charge a 0.3% fee on Trusted Lending Circles larger than 5 members, and a significantly lower fee of 0.1% when Trustcoin is used as the native token of value.

I thought you guys make money in ico and also hold 10%+ of the supply?  You really need to keep the fees on top of that?

Why don't you distribute the fees from the platform to all TRST holders to give them another reason to hold TRST?

Or collect the fees into a smart contract then holders can vote on how the fees are used.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT | WeTrust Crowdsale News

All,

Due to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage impacting numerous infrastructure services and exchanges (e.g. Coinbase/ GDAX), we have decided to delay the Crowdsale launch by 24 hours to March 2nd, 12:00AM UTC.

We apologize for this change in schedule. However, we believe that it is critical to have a smooth crowdsale experience.

Everything else stays the same, the only difference is that the start date and bonus schedule have been pushed back by 24 hours. Please help us spread this to the greater community.

Thank you for your continued support,
WeTrust Team

I will start right away without boring introductions into who I am and why I am here. Since u all know me and have a basic understanding of what elements the REAL insurance platform is constructed of u should know that insurance practices focused at data monetization shall be taxed. Thus wetrust should pay taxes to local authorities or my buddy.

Open Zepplin is a smart contract security auditor and has helped find flaws and improve the security for projects such as: Golem, FirstBlood, Wings DAO, Digix Global, Consensys, Rootstock, many more!

According to Manuel Aráoz, "Overall, code quality is good, it’s well commented, and most well-known security good practices were followed. This was one of the most well written contracts we had to audit."

Check out the full, un-abridged version here and explore what they've found!
