Topic: [ANN][preICO] Dolphin BI: The first cryptoasset investment analysis marketplace - page 12. (Read 5290 times)

Thanks for a good question!

We plan to use Ethereum smart-contract as a platfrom core which implement the following functions:
- update Experts’ ratings
- distribute reward among Experts and Authors (in DOBI tokens)
- accept monthly subscription fees (in DOBI tokens) and assign widget access rights for Subscribers (e.g. on pay-per-month basis)
- voting on platform rules updates

This contract will use ERC20 tokens named DOBI. A gateway with Waves Platfrom is planned to be implemented to allow a user to buy and sell DOBI tokens through the Waves Platfrom wallet and DEX.

Frontend is planned to be implemented as a webservice initially and then also a mobile apps will be developed (as descibed in our roadmap). If DApps become widely adopted we will think to implement our Frontend as DApp.

Widgets and Data Providers are to be implemented as Docker containers (we already have this architecture in beta.dolphin.bi). If a decentralized computing becomes widely adopted (Golem, SONM, iExec etc) we will think on moving to a decentralized architecture in this part.

As far as I understand, Dolphin BI will be a web-based platform with connection to Ethereum and Waves platforms in order to enable transfers of tokens. Is that correct? I did not fully understand, in your whitepaper, what do you call a set of smart-contracts that Dolphin platform is based on? Are those the Ethereum-based smart-contracts? Or these will be smart-contracts programmed from zero for the Dolphin BI purposes? What is the functional core and principles of these smart contracts from programming point of view?   

You ask we do! We appreciate demands of community!
Here's a video of beta.dolphin.bi

Hello, Diego!
What do you mean by valuation?

My name is Ivan, by the way, I'm handling data science in the project, so you can ask me about ML and stuff

So the machine learning is fast and automatic searching in data. But is it also making valuations?

For start:

Whitepaper Clustering. A tool to quickly find similar whitepapers in the database and pinpoint keywords. It allows the user to quickly understand the main idea and to assess the market in which the crypto-asset operates, as well as its main competitors. It also allows user to be automatically notificated if a new ICO in user's fileds of interests is published on the platform.

Social Networks Sentiment Analysis. After gathering text data from several social media outlets (Twitter, Facebook, Bitcointalk, Reddit, etc.) and running it through the algorithm, this widget provides the user with opinions of public and some key persona in the blockchain world on the crypto-asset. The widget also displays the keywords which often appear in media mentions and statistics on the activity of the crypto-asset team in its social media channels.

Build consensus forecast based on expert’s evaluations.

Funding transactions analysis to detect churning.

Sybil detection in Rating system (it's internal platform tool to fight with fraud).

It's easy: just click a 'Customize' button in right upper corner (it will change to 'Cancel') and you can move widgets by clicking inside and dragging it and resize by clicking and dragging right bottom corner.

We will add new widgets and "widget market" soon. Please subscribe for updates and follow us! Thanks!

Is there video tutorial how to customize the beta platform I tried so many times but it remain unchanged. I hope if there will be instructions available than it will become interesting anyway this is interesting concept so that I will follow this.

For what do you want to use machine learning?

Thanks to SEC and our lawyers we need to use new abbreviation  

11'500'000 to 61'500'000 (see chapter 4.3 of whitepaper)
Total token supply depends on backed amount.


UPD: special funds tokens will be burned when they will return as payment for the service back to the platform. So total supply is a supply without special funds. See chapter 4 in the Whitepaper.

Right after presale is finished so it's 1st of October.

presale TGE (DBIP token)
main TGE (DOBI token + conversion of DBIP tokens to DOBI tokens) 
total coin ?
Bounty program soon ??

Brief Overview

Our platform will help users to get quick and high-quality risk and profitability assessment of crypto asset investments. It combines evaluation using machine learning and evaluation by experts. The platform utilizes a smart contract to transparently distribute reward among experts based on their reputation and contribution. Reputation of an expert is based on investors' voting and automatic evaluations of expert’s forecasts. We will also promote third-party developers to create and sell their own applications build on top of the platform. Revenue will be distributed to application’s author according to application usage.

Our mission is to become the first crypto asset investment analysis marketplace and number one data source for ICO market analytics. Thanks to our platform the analysis of ICOs will become much faster and more efficient and experts will be able to build up their reputation and monetize their expertise. We are also establishing partnerships with crypto asset funds to provide them with ICO scoring functionality and private access to the best experts.


Key features

Economics
Please check with our whitepaper chapter 4 where you can see our economic description, there you can find token allocation, our 3 business models and caps, and our 3 "secret sauces".


Demo
We have already released a Demo with open-source code and implementation of
- a dashboard prototype with widgets implemented as docker containers
- sentiment analysis for bitcointalk topics
- an ICOface service prototype to search ICO team member by photo


Bounty program
Conditions of bounty program will be published after presale completion.


Token generation event conditions
There will be two token generation events (TGE):
   •   presale TGE (DBIP token)
   •   main TGE (DOBI token + conversion of DBIP tokens to DOBI tokens)

At the presale TGE there’s two stages: private and then public. The cap for private TGE is set at 400’000 USD. If the milestone is not reached, the remainder will be open for public buyout at public stage. Otherwise the cap will be raised to 600’000 USD for the public stage so that investors without preliminary agreements can invest as well. During the presale the DBIP (Dolphin BI Presale) ERC20 token will be generated.

There is a 25% bonus during the preliminary TGE, i.e. DBIP tokens will be provided at 1 token per 0.8 USD. During the main TGE there will be no bonus and the primary DOBI token will be provided at 1 DOBI per 1 USD. We will perform a 1:1 conversion DBIP tokens to DOBI tokens before the main TGE.

DBIP tokens will be delivered to subscriber’s Ethereum account. The conversion rate will be calculated according to the ETH/USD rate at 9:00 UTC (GMT+0) with rate from https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/ethereum/.

We will accept BTC and other digital tokens from the subscribed subscribers during the private stage. In that case, the conversion rate is agreed upon by parties individually and DBIP tokens will be sent manually. The conversion rate will be calculated according to value of the provided tokens in USD at the end of previous day (per http://coinmarketcap.com).

Dolphin BI presale TGE will take place by two stages:
   •   private token generation event from August 31th 13:00 - September 18th 2017 15:59 (GMT)
   •   public token generation event from September 18th 16:00 - September 30th 2017 23:59 (GMT)

At the second stage, the participation is only possible through the Ethereum smart contract.

The volatility risk should be also considered. For example, if during the preliminary TGE 1 ETH is 200 USD, then the subscriber can receive 250 DBIP for 1 ETH (200/0.8). If 1 ETH is 300 USD at the moment of the main TGE then subscribers can receive 300 DOBI for 1 ETH, while preliminary subscribers will only receive 250 DOBI through the conversion. This is a common occurrence during ICOs. Therefore, we are ready to carry 50% of the volatility risk. We will compensate 50% of preliminary subscribers’ loss due to rate growth from the “team reward” part of the token distribution. In the aforementioned case, the preliminary subscriber will gain 275 DOBI, which will mitigate half of their losses. Automatic DBIP to DOBI conversion will be performed at the beginning of the TGE. This insurance bonus will be calculated according to the ETH/USD rate at the beginning of main TGE (per http://coinmarketcap.com).
One should also consider that if during the main TGE 1 ETH is 50 USD, then the preliminary subscriber increases their number of DOBI fivefold.


The team
Our team will put a lot of effort and money raised during TGE into building an engaged community around our platform and marketplace and to develop ICO/TGE standards.
