I've been tracking this project for some time and yesterday I stumbled in the article at ICOAlert. I read it and now I think that this can actually be a very good place to keep some money for the long-term. Naturally, I would never invest more than 10% of all my assets into ICOs, but there is most definitely a potential for x's here, I guess. Also, I would be interested in learning how I can personally provide services at the platform, coz I am currently located in Moscow, where we have lots of rarities that people might want to sell abroad. So becoming an intermediary and making 3D scans for, say, 50USD of some really old thing, and then sending this scan to the customer from the States can be a worthwhile endevor, you know, especially when you take into account the fact that it's pretty easy to delegate the work to subordinates.
What I like most is that the team has already created the platform and there are users there. As of now, I am strongly inclined to take more seriously those ICOs that have the actual product out there.
I've got several questions about your project. I will come back here from time to time and see whether the admin has answered my questions. If he/she has, I will post the next one.
Question 1
Verifying Unauthorized Use
In the article at ICOAlert, your CEO specified that blockchain is used to secure the transfer of the title to the works and prevent bad actors from reselling somebody else's work. Also, it was specified that you can take out the middlemen by enabling the trustless relations through the use of smart contracts. These are very good and valid use cases. I think that trying to be a first mover in this niche can win you the long-term leadership here with huge profits to follow, if (or when) your platform goes mainstream profession-wise.
My question is how exactly do you guys verify that this or that 3D model was created Person A and that or that 3D model was created by Person B. Is there some sort of embedded coding that can be found in the 3D models?
Because, if it's impossible to determine the authorship in some way + it's possible to steal this piece of work, then we would surely stumble in the situation similar to copywriting and translation:
a. Creator creates copywriting
b. Buyer pays the money
c. Buyer get the copywriting
If you change the places for c. and b., then the Buyer would be able to simply post the article, wait 10 minutes for Google to index it and that's it, right? (Naturally, the contract can state that the Buyer first gets the article, then pays the money. But we are speaking about the trustless system here, so this matrix is not being considered, right)?
This is a great question but done requiring specific knowledge of the system and architecture - knowledge I do not have. I am able to foster a guess but your question deserves more than this. Please send your question to [email protected] and let an expert reply to you. It may take a little time but an answer will be forthcoming.
If you are technically (coding) based searching some of the documentation here may help you with a greater understanding of the Cappasity system and architecture: https://github.com/search?q=Cappasity&type=Repositories&utf8=%E2%9C%93
Well, I don't know what to say, Peter. I prepared the list of questions specially for us to have a lively discussion here on Bitcointalk, so that other users would be able to see that you are a real organization with the real team behind it and you can answer the real questions.
But you are referring me to the official email. It's so discouraging. I am actually planning to write out my own review on you guys, which I was planning to make really big, with infographics and all kinds of stuff. I wanted to include the answers to my questions, so that my target audience would value the report, the other trackers would not have this info.
I literally don't know what to say, lol.
Isn't anybody from the management team tracking what's going on in the two most important channels for marketing promotion -BTC and REddit, I mean, c'mon.
