TypeForm Data Breach FAQs
On June 29, 2018 at 1900 CST, we were informed by TypeForm of a data breach which affected Seed and private Pre-Launch contributors to Ocean Protocol.

The TypeForm report stated that the hackers accessed the data that Seed and private Pre-Launch contributors submitted to fulfil KYC and AML requirements. Information that the hackers likely downloaded includes email, birthdate, place of birth, ID number, nationality, wallet address, scans of identity documents, proof of residence, proof of accreditation and for our US participants, SSN.

We are trying to confirm with TypeForm whether your data was stored in an encrypted or unencrypted manner. If it was stored unencrypted, then the hackers have your information. https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/typeform-data-breach-faqs-11008736aaa9

ICO Analysis: Ocean Protocol
Published on June 20, 2018
By Daniel Won


Team
The Ocean Protocol team brings a lot of experience to the table.
CEO Bruce Pon spent years at top companies like Accenture and Daimler AG as a consultant and project manager before founding his own consulting, data, and blockchain-based companies.
Overall, the team has deep experience in big data, blockchain, AI, and data exchange and has done things like calculate gravity assisted trajectories between Earth and Mars, built a dozen global banks, managed operating budgets over $30 million, and more.
Companies, institutions, and organizations that the team is or has worked with include MIT, Cisco, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, Google, Ernst & Young, and more.
Pon and other core members founded BigchainDB in 2014. BigchainDB will develop Ocean Protocol and has already created things like ascribe.io, a way for creators to track intellectual property on the blockchain, WhereOnThe.Net, which tracks the spread of creative works, IDPB, the Interplanetary Database or a shared global database, ImageMatch, machine learning-based image recognition, and more. Clearly, it isn’t their first rodeo when it comes to things like blockchain, data, and AI.
DEX Pte. Ltd. is also working on developing Ocean Protocol and was a lead partner for Data City : Data Nation, a partnership amongst Singaporean and British corporations and governments to work on data exchange by providing common regulatory and governance frameworks.
Singapore, which has shown its hostility towards crypto at times, is the lead government partner for Ocean Protocol. Singapore wants to become the hub for data sharing and is working with Ocean Protocol to achieve that goal.
Verdict
Though Ocean Protocol has a promising premise and team with lots of relevant experience, lack of a working product and significant partnerships makes investing less desirable.
Risks
    No working product (-2)
    Many other competitors like Enigma, Datum, Dentcoin, Streamr, and more, some of which have working products. (-1)
    No other significant advisors or partnerships besides Singaporean government that could boost the spread of Ocean Protocol. (-1)
    No hard cap announced for Network Launch Distribution round. (-1)
Growth Potential
    Data sharing and AI are huge growth industries. (+3)
    Team has lots of experience, especially in relevant fields, such as blockchain, data exchange, and AI. (+3)
    While competitors may be focusing on specific use cases, such as “data marketplace for advertising data”, Ocean Protocol is more of a platform, and platforms, e.g. Ethereum and NEO, have done well in the past. (+2)
    Pre-Launch round had an equitable token distribution with a max contribution of 1250 euros – helps prevent dumping by whales. (+2)
    Long vesting periods to prevent dumping. (+1)
Disposition
It might be better to pick up some OCN post-ICO or if and when the project is more proven in terms of a working product and partnerships. Moreover, Network Launch Distribution details have yet to be released, which could have an influence on investment potential as well.
Ocean Protocol receives a 5/10.

Trent McConaghy, Co-Founder - Curated Proof Markets & Token-Curated Identities in Ocean Protocol

Trent details Ocean’s token mechanics via step-by-step examples of how users earn tokens by curating data and making it available, in a Proofed Curation Market (PCM) setting. He also describes Ocean's approach to identity, which leverages Token-Curated Registries (TCR) on actors.

As I thought, they have not reached hardcap easily and they have removed 1.8 cap Lol
Looks like the whitelist is closed
The pre sale for whitelisted users started yesterday. Unfortunately the max contribution amount per user was only 1.8 ETH. Sad

I've looked at it. It seems legit but not really something I could be confident enough to say this will be this years biggest ICO, far from it to be honest I think their are allot of good ICO's out this year for it to compete with

The maximum contribution amount is only 1.825 ETH? Really? Is this a joke?  Why is it that low?
It is not low, bearish market + more than 1 year locked, many will leave and I am sure that the cap will not be reached

It is not a small contribution cap? If you are sure that the soft/hard cap will not be reached why are you saying that the max contribution amount per user is not too low?

This does not make sense imho.

Cryptofan!
I, too, the maximum amount for investing gives 1.825 aired. For the time being, I do not want to invest. I'll watch, but I do not see the hype yet.

I read something about that tokens will be locked for two years? Are these only rumors or is it true?

True

This is one project in demand, the whitelist will likely end very fast because of the huge demand and rush to subscribe to it, I will subscribe then look at the token metrics, if the hard cap is good valuation then this will be a steal
Can you explain me how to calculate if a hard cap has a good valuation?
