Affiliate Coin (AFLC) ICO

Bitcoin is what kick-started the influx of popularity in regards to cryptocurrencies and now we are constantly surrounded by them, and it seems there’s no escape from the endless and repetitive nature of new digital currencies being released on a daily basis. Most of the time these cryptocurrencies all appear to be the same as each other, the only difference is the name, and they have no real value at all. Then, out of nowhere, comes a time when a cryptocurrency of note gets released and people actually do pay attention to it…

I’m talking about AffiliateCoin.

Like many other cryptocurrencies out there, Affiliate Coin is decentralized, and is an affiliate network that has the power to utilize smart contracts in all of their might, in order to create secure, indisputable transactions on it’s blockchain. Having conducted a sufficient level of research pertaining to affiliate marketing, they have come to the conclusion that the global expenditure of affiliate marketing is in excess of $10 billion, the US actually accounts for more than $5 billion alone.

When we analyze the fact that digital affiliate marketing has only been around for the past 20 years or so, it has been unbelievably successful for thousands of companies/websites in such a relatively short amount of time. However, it has also developed some underlying flaws that have given this industry a bad name; such as fraud, industry distrust, high transaction fees, and often delayed payments.

Despite the somewhat negative connotation that affiliate marketing has developed in some areas, it is used by more than 80% of brands online and it is one of the most profitable forms of online advertising, with some returns totaling $25 for every $1 spent, or more in some cases. By implementing smart contracts and incorporating the use of blockchain technology AffiliateCoin are hoping to overcome a number of issues and make affiliate marketing a more trusting platform. By storing offers, promotions, interactions and relationships on the public ledger of the blockchain, when targeted actions are verified, such as a sale being recorded the smart contract is initialized and the publisher will receive their reward, and in this case it is AffiliateCoin.

By holding an AffiliateCoin ICO, the company behind this cryptocurrency are hoping to raise enough capital to be able to make necessary and important changes, in order to transform the way affiliate marketing is carried out. This is why they have incorporated the use of blockchain technology to eliminate the possibility of fraud, because as we know it was one of the leading issue that many affiliate marketers face in the world today. As well as eliminating fraud they hope to increase the level of trust in the affiliate marketing space with the use of blockchain technology and smart contracts. Once a successful task is completed it will trigger an execution of the smart contract and releases funds to the publisher within the need for any intermediary.

AffiliateCoin will have no signup fee and no monthly subscription as the team behind Affiliate Coin feel like this will lower the barrier to entry and open the doors to allow countless merchants and publishers to use the power of affiliate marketing.

There is no doubt in my mind that the AffiliateCoin ICO will be a success because the goals and aims, armed with blockchain technology and smart contracts are a brilliant way for merchants, publishers and crypto fans to interact with other in a trusted marketplace, with trust technology. By June 2019, Affiliate Coin will begin the launch of its fully functioning affiliate network with all the capabilities and technology that will enable it to become one of the world’s leading affiliate networks.

World WiFi ICO (WT)

When we look back and think how far we have come in regards to technology and the impact it has had on our lives, the rise of the World Wide Web (internet) is probably one of the greatest innovations the world has ever seen! It has prevented the world from being shut off from each other by allowing us to become more connected and open. One of the greatest things about the Internet is the ability to share and distribute information and resources, which inevitably improves people’s lives because of the access to seemingly unlimited amounts of knowledge. However, given that we are in an age of technology, we find ourselves paying for everything and this, of course, involves our connection to the World Wide Web and in some cases it isn’t cheap.

The European Union actually ruled that Internet access should be a citizens right, and we still trying to give that right to people all over the world. The ever increasing prices for a standard wi-fi connection for a home computer is becoming a strain on many people’s lives, which is why the World Wi-Fi project is garnering lots of attention among everyday citizens as well as cryptocurrency fans.

The World Wi-Fi project has been developed to be a global decentralized free network, where the users will primarily be ordinary people, router owners and advertisers. The users of the World WiFi project will enjoy the benefits of the network and the free internet, whereas the router owners are paid by advertisers for the ads and commercials that are viewed by the users.

ICO Start: 4/18/2018
ICO End: 5/18/2018
Platform: Ethereum
Symbol: WT

World Wi-Fi hopes to incorporate Big Data technology which is primarily used to compile and evaluate the non-personal data of users on the platform, allowing the advertisers who will also being using the platform to generate tailor made ads and commercials, for the users who might be receptive to them. Coupling the World WiFi project with blockchain technology, it can provide fast and inexpensive transactions between network participants by utilizing the power of smart contracts.

World Wi-Fi is taking note on how other companies have conducted business without actually owning specific products. For instance, Airbnb doesn’t own a single property or hasn’t built any hotel during it’s time, furthermore they allow for everyone who rents a room to feel like a hotel owner. Likewise with Uber, they have not bought a single car throughout their time, yet they have established a global fleet of taxis, where people can use their own cars in order to earn through giving people rides. World WiFi will not be building actual hotspots for people to connect to, but rather give router owners the chance to as a service provider and earn revenue by sharing their internet access.

This sort of business model is a way for this company to tackle one of the many challenges that people face today, which is not being able to connect to the internet. There are so many places in the world where people are not able to get mobile internet coverage, although there are private Wi-Fi networks that are seemingly impossible to successfully connect to. The solution to this problem has been recognized by the World WiFi project and have set out to enable the free access to Wi-Fi certain areas of the world by using private routers, allowing the owners of the private routers the chance to make money by opening up their networks to allow users to share their connection.

The second challenge that people face is the cost for simple internet access, and for service providers the provision of internet access is a business that has a certain cost. The way round this is to enable Wi-Fi access worldwide as long as the guest users agree with view a few small ads that will be around 10-15 seconds long.

The third that the World Wi-Fi project is looking to tackle is the lack of financial resources for most people. If given the opportunity I’m sure a lot of people would be up for making a bit of extra cash in exchange for sharing something that they already have, say an Internet connection for instance. This project is giving people the opportunity to share their internet connection in exchange for cryptocurrency, as well as being able to build a referral network. This is a pretty simple yet effective use of someone’s own resource, and all they have to do is open up their internet connection and let other people experience the benefits of free access to an abundance of knowledge.

Smoke Network (SMOKE) ICO

The world’s first blockchain cannabis social network. This is what the Smoke Network is calling itself and with cannabis becoming a staple part of people’s lives in the US it’s not hard to see why this is gaining steam. According to extensive research from some of the industry’s leading experts have examined that there is likely to be a 60% year over year compound growth for the legal cannabis market as a whole, from the current estimated global market size of over $7 billion to reach $31.4 billion by 2021. Smoke Network has seen the possibilities with the legalization of cannabis and have taken the first steps to take full advantage of the ever growing global legalization movement.

Along with this extensive research, Smoke Network have realized based on statistics from the UN’s World Drug Report, there are an estimated 182 million global cannabis users as well as 40 million of them living in the United States. By being able to harness just a fraction of this market, Smoke Network is aiming to develop a growing online community that is centered around cannabis culture, which benefits all participants in the network. To add validity to the concept of a cannabis centered social network, there is already a handful of them around, take 420smokers.us, which is an online cannabis brand founded by the creators of Smoke Network during a time when cryptocurrency and decentralised applications were still relatively new, with no blockchain technology that could deal with enough transactions at a great enough speed. Since the rise of this social network, the platform has amassed 500,000 cannabis users with the capabilities to interact with each other.

Smoke Network’s ICO is looking to raise enough funds to be able to create a substantial social networking platform that is built around cannabis, as well as addressing some key issues and problems for cannabis fans and smokers. One of the main issues is that there seems to be blind censorship of cannabis page on other social media platforms, or displaying content that describes cannabis as a dangerous and harmful drug which inevitably puts a strain on the cannabis business.

Smoke Network wants to give users the opportunity to get rewarded for posting high quality content. By giving users the opportunity to post stories on the blockchain, upvote or downvote pieces of content it is giving people the power to control what happens on this platform, and with incentives such as being rewarded for having their content upvoted. After their first ICO which was held in August 2017 they managed to develop an alpha version of the Smoke Network application on the Steem blockchain, which rewards users in Steem for the posts. This is exactly how users will be able to benefits from posting quality content, and as cannabis gears up to become more mainstream in the public eye, Smoke Network is looking to position itself as the go-to resources for cannabis related social media, for strain reviews, dispensary reviews, grow journals, peer-to-peer cannabis related transactions and high quality cannabis related content.

The Smoke Network is an application that is based on the unlimited potential of blockchain technology to unlock and transform the way people interact online. By building on top of already established technologies like bitcoin, steem and EOS it allows for people to create content that they can earn money and rewards from.

Moveco ICO (MOV)

Moveco (MOV) is an upcoming ICO that promises to change the way people travel by actually rewarding people. Their crypto token “MOV” can be earned as well as positively contributing to the future of mobility, by sharing data to help with urban planning or to be a little more adventurous, can even help build the next autonomous vehicle. As an incentive to users, Moveco has made it so that users can earn MOV tokens that can go towards their next gas bill. Their goal is to help build safer, more reliable and affordable vehicles, with data firms working car manufacturers to profit from your data and even though that may sound like a bad thing, they are working towards a bigger and brighter future not only for the car industry but yours too by allowing you to take a share in the monetization of your anonymized data.

Because Moveco are a serious company and are taking this ICO seriously, they are working towards building relationships with retailers and mobility partners, just so they can offer users various gifts and discounts on goods, services and experiences. Imagine being able to reduce your gas bill by redeeming a discount on the MOV redemption platform, or being able to exchange MOV tokens into points with their loyalty program partners. Some of their relations include big corporations such as Royal Dutch Shell, Asia Miles, Starbucks and Grab.

The harvesting and use of data is used to open doors and improve already established technologies to help them become even better, and with the mobile data market size expected to be worth $750 billion by 2030. Some of the technologies that will help make Moveco a massive contributor towards that $750 billion includes the well respected blockchain technology, which will harbor the use of smart contracts in order to utilize the data centric use-cases in a secure and decentralized platform. Blockchain technology is present in every cryptocurrency as it is what allows them safely initiate transactions, as well as store important data and information.

As well as using blockchain technology, Moveco are also incorporating machine learning/big data as it is a vital part of how Moveco will operate, by analyzing users anonymized data. Machine learning will help how we understand mobility patterns and how user behaviors will shape those patterns, and this will enable a near real-time analytics and build predictive models. Because Moveco will be dealing with data, there obviously needs to be some kind of privacy and security involved, which is why they are implementing the industry’s most stringent security standards and guidelines to ensure that your data is anonymized, as well as complying to the local and global regulations.

In case you were wondering, there are some real world uses in which mobility data can be used, and one of the major areas is linked with insurance. However, that being said Moveco will be able to analyze driving behavior and use the data for insurance purpose and generate quotes based on the drivers behavioral characteristics. Not only that, but MOV will be able to analyze crowd traffic and determine the peak hours for certain locations at certain times.

Once Moveco have conducted the final stages of their ICO in April, in the months of May and June we will start to see Moveco (MOV) expanding the current team and introduce key roles within the company, such as data scientists and business development managers. Finally in Q4 of 2018, we will see the release of the first version of the Moveco App.

DADI (DADI) ICO – Token Sale

Decentralized Architecture for a Democratic Internet (DADI)

A new era of cloud computing services, powered by blockchain technology = Decentralized web services.

DADI is a global, decentralized cloud services platform, offering compute power, database storage, content delivery and other functionality to help businesses scale and grow. It is a platform for web services, built on the Ethereum blockchain and it represents a radical overhaul of the cloud computing sector with a mission to uphold the founding principles of the internet by democratizing computational power.

Unlike most existing cloud services, DADI implements a fog computing structure – a decentralized pool of devices, all of which are connected to the internet. This represents a fundamental shift in cloud computing services by enabling peer-to-peer collaboration on a massive scale. The technology finds the closest and most appropriate hub of computational power and distributes tasks accordingly.

With DADI there is no single authority that regulates computing resource distribution. The platform uses cost-efficient fog computing organized by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) rather than a centralized cloud structure, removing the need to pay in advance for private and monopolized cloud computing platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

DADI’s web services are organized around a micro-services architecture that provides a series of intelligent apps for building digital products.
