trust management market based on blockchain and smart contracts which will serve as an ecosystem for traders, investors and brokers. // -- Discuss and ask questions in our community on Workplace. Gensis is proposing a system which will enable investors to passively invest in BOTH cryptocurrencies and traditional assets. Trust management in this reference is a system where investors transfer their funds to wealth management companies/fiduciaries/experts who manage and invest these funds in assets which match the investors risk profile. The total amount of funds under management globally were at $70 trillion in 2016, and are expected to reach $100 trilllion in 2020. Having personally worked in this industry for a few years, the author has seen some of its grey areas very closely. Wealth management companies measure their success by the amount of funds they are managing, which incentivizes them to attract as much capital as they can. While investors select fund managers based on their past performance, these numbers can be easily overstated by creating personalized statistics for performance measurement and working in tandem with brokers. Even the fee structure is kept opaque in many instances, with many types of hidden fees being charged to the customers. Many fund managers receive bonuses which are 15-20 times of their base salaries, which incentivizes them to keep the fee structure high and opaque. While investors have kept investing money with wealth managers, numbers show that only 17% of them have managed to beat their respective benchmarks in the past 10 years. Genesis Value Proposition Genesis Vision is a decentralized trust management platform built on blockchain technology and smart contracts. Blockchain technology provides indispensable advantages, such as openness, immutability, and censorship-resistance of all stored information, whereas smart contracts, which will be carrying out investment and profit distribution, make these processes completely transparent and open. Each manager in the Genesis Vision network has his own cryptocurrency. The size of the issue depends on successful trade statistics. The process of transferring funds to the manager is carried out by buying a managers cryptocurrency on the internal exchange. There will be 3 core elements of the Genesis ecosystem: investment managers, investors and the brokers. Investors and the investment managers will interact with the platform using the mobile app or the web based application. Each manager will have his own Ethereum based token. Investors will contribute the funds that they want invested and will get the managers tokens in return. A managers tokens gain their value from the performance of his portfolio and will trade on Genesiss internal exchange. The manager shares the profits from the portfolio after fixed intervals, which are shared with his token holders. Smart contracts facilitate all the transactions. Every trade that a manager makes is stored in the decentralized IFPS which is visible to all and makes the system transparent. // -- Become a yearly Platinum Member and save 69 USD and get access to our secret group on Workplace.

As of now and maybe for a foreseeable future, Genesis will only facilitate cryptocurrency and Forex based asset management. When an asset manager includes Forex in his portfolio, the investors funds will be routed through a broker who will buy the required fiat currency and supply it to the asset manager. The proposed business model has benefits for all participants which includes investors, managers and the brokers. The investors benefit from the transparency while the investors and brokers get to access a larger demographic. If you remove the Forex part of the project, the idea is similar to what Melonport and CoinDashare doing. All three of them facilitate any trader to create and manage crypto based portfolios. Genesis differentiates itself by including the traditional asset part as well as creating individual tokens for each asset manager. Token and Crowdraise Genesis Vision has its own token: GVT ( Genesis Vision Token). GVT is based on ERC20 Ethereum token standard.GVT will be used for all investment operations, profit distributions, and managers token trading on the internal Exchange. Along with GVT, each manager will have his own token. The managers tokens will only trade on the internal exchanges where users can buy them in exchange of GVT. The GVT are limited in number and as demand for the platform grows, so does the value of GVTs. The ICO started on 15th October 2017 and is open till 15th November. 75% of the 44 million tokens are available for the ICO and 1 GVT is valued at 1 USD (hardcap $33 million). A 20% bonus is available for the next 2 days. 40% of the funds raised will be used for product development while 30% are dedicated to marketing. Genesis will be marketing the product heavily amongst users and brokers, hence the higher allocation. The team will keep 11% of the tokens. Team The Genesis Vision team ranks highly on credibility. With transparency at the core of the Genesis Vision project, the team had their Initial Coin Offering certified by The Financial Commission successfully. The Financial Commission is an independent self-regulatory organization and external dispute resolution body, primarily dedicated to Forex. Genesis is the first ICO to be certified by the Financial Commission. One of the 3 cofounders Alexey Kutsenko is the CEO of Tools For Brokers. Tools For Brokers (TFB)is a fintech company working exclusively with brokers and has around 300 brokers as clients. The close relations of TFB will facilitate broker participation in Genesis Vision. The other two cofounders Ruslan Kamenskiy and Dmitry Nazarov started working on the project in 2016 and won the HackRussia all-Russian hackathon in the nomination Finance and Blockchain with the Genesis Vision project. There are 10 members in the team and 13 prolific advisors, many of them being CEOs and founders of Russia based wealth management companies. Verdict Credibility is always a top priority when looking at ICOs and Genesis has plenty of it. Genesis builds up on the existing blockchain based asset management firms by enabling a window for traditional assets. Although the initial product focuses only on cryptocurrencies and Forex, many investors will find value in holding multiple fiat and cryptocurrencies together. The concept of each asset manager having his own currency seems really cool and will help attracting many potential traders/analysts. However, there is intense competition in blockchain based asset management space with companies like Melonport already working on betas with a thousand users. We hope Genesis does not lose a significant market when it rolls out its first version in 2019. Risks The gateway to traditional assets will not be easy. Genesis will face many regulatory headwinds when it eventually expands in traditional assets beyond Forex. -2 As mentioned above, Genesis faces intense competition in cryptocurrency asset management space. -3 Although the concept of asset managers having their own currencies sounds interesting, it makes the project much more complicated. -0.25 The first version of the product will be released in 2019, which seems a bit stretched. -1 Growth Potential Although the shareForex asset management is lower than other forms of asset management, it still is humongous considering the total market size of $70 trillion. +4 Credible management and the advisory team is a big positive. +3 Genesis already has a solution for trust management market used by 80 financial companies. The working solution is based on a b2b model and is centralized. +3 Genesis has good relations with around 400 brokers and 50+ wealth management companies. This will help them scale very quickly. +2 Disposition We arrive at a score of +5.75 out of 10 for Genesis Vision. There is no softcap and unsold tokens during the ICO will be burned which might result in potential upside in case the hardcap is not reached. Overall we have a positive view of Genesis.

ICO ICO Analysis: Ambit Mining Published 11 hours ago on April 21, 2018 By Ross Peili By 2017, cryptocurrencies reached their mainstreampeak, where people like Alan Greenspan and Microsofts Bill Gates were talking about the possible value in this new digital asset class. // -- Discuss and ask questions in our community on Workplace. The current state of blockchain technology has already proven itself more than just worthy, improving the lives of many people and legal entities in various ways. However, blockchain-powered platforms require an enormous amount of computing power to run smoothly. One of the most important gears of the current blockchain-factory is the concept of mining cryptocurrencies, or in a nutshell, lending your computing power and resources in order to provide the blockchain the power it needs to perform the transactions set within the network, in exchange for a portion of the transaction. While mining is necessary for most of the current blockchain systems, it is also a pain in the ass for various reasons, including // -- Become a yearly Platinum Member and save 69 USD and get access to our secret group on Workplace. Click here to change your current membership -- // Mining has extremely high-energy costs The noiseand heat generated by the machinery could be really disturbing Requires a lot of physical space Requires expensive hi-tech ventilation/air-conditioning systems Requires 24/7 personnel to monitor the plant That is why, over time, mining ended up being extremely difficult and concentrated in a few hands. Most mining companies disappearedor merged with similar companies and those who take mining seriously even started to move to countries with low taxes and low electricity fees. For some countries, mining feels are very low. Take Georgia, for example, where the average rental price per a square meter is not more than a couple dollars. The price per KWhis not more than $0.05, in opposition to the average European KWh price that is currently around $0.20. Ambit Mining is a Georgian-based start-up that has been taking advantage of these features for some time now. The company operates its own mining plant, powered by major industrial titans like Schneider Electrics, AMD, NVidia, Cisco and Kingston. Ambit Mining is constantly evolving and are now launching their own ICO to power an ecosystem of investors and developers under the Ambit Mining roof. The Georgian company not only is one of the most promising, according to their latest transparency release, but they have ties to governmental institutions in Georgia, understanding both local and international markets with a solid and modern business plan. Unlike most mining plants with a business model, that rent you specific hash power, Ambit Mining gives you the opportunity to be part of the business model by releasing 85% of their total token supply to the public. Ambit Mining uses both ASICs and GPUs to diversify risks. They have a modern plant and they keep expanding. Ambit Mining unites mining, cloud, and hosting services into one decentralized platform, guided by the community shareholders. The company is part of the economic free zone of Tbilisi, capital of Georgia and they have an interesting and transparent history when it comes to mining. Their latest project achieved 100% ROI in just five months. Token The AMBT token is Ambit Mining ecosystems native currency. It can be used to purchase mining contracts, computing power, or even cloud space. Each token has a value that can be translated as a vote on significant community events and updates. At the same time, naturally, you can swap your AMBT for ETH, or any other major cryptocurrency and find shelter in fiat or other altcoins. The total token supply is set to 104,000,000 AMBT, 85% of which (88,000,000) will be accessible during the public sales. Ambit Mining, unlike most ICOs, will require only 3% to be reserved for the company, while 9% is distributed to team and advisers, and the final 3% will be given to bounty participants. The starting price of an AMBT token is approximately set around $0.5 per unit, which is ultra cheap, if you consider that projects with a similar total supply cost between $10 and $200 at the moment, with Ethereum (~99 million total supply) being the most expensive per unit at $585 US dollars. Team Beka Vashakidze (Founder & CEO) is the CEO of BF group holding Company operating on mining in Georgia. He is involved in numerous different industries including Fintech, Digital Media, oil and gas among others. Giorgi Inashvili (Chief Operational Officer) is behind numerous projects around marketing, sales, and logistics areas. He is talented in business planning and project management. George Khmaladze (Chief Financial Officer) is currently a professor and lecturer at Georgian Technical University. He is an important figure in Georgia, having served director and chairman in various organizations in his country. In the board of advisers, we can find Karan Khemani, CEO of Spectre, Miguel Palencia, Chief Information Officer at Qtum Foundation and Andri Matiukhin, Chief Technical Director at Hacken among others. Overall, the Ambit team consists of professionals with years of experience in the mining scene. A big portion of the initial team is native Georgian, acknowledging the benefits of the grounds they live in. Verdict Mining is a crucial part of most blockchain-based technology companies. The more companies adopting distributed ledger technology, the more mining will be required. Ambit offers its services as a solution to this problem, with specified facilities and reduced mining costs. Indeed, Ambit has favorable synergies that could be very beneficial for someone looking at mining seriously. Within its years of operation, Ambit has managed already to create a 1 MW diversified mining facility in Tbilisi where its based. This facility has managed to achieve 100% ROI in five months. This indicates that the operation is up and running, proving it can grow, provided that the terminals are put into place and running. Having the whole of the investment concentrated on one spot means that the service team will be able to respond very fast in case something goes wrong. Ambit plans to grow its operation to 20 MW through this project, having mining enthusiasts on their side and the support of the high-end technology manufacturers affiliatedwith the company. While mining is very important for most blockchain-platforms, there is a new wave of decentralized distributed ledgers that have a pre-established number of tokens, pre-mined and they use variations of the PoW protocol, eliminating the need for miners. Risks From an investors perspective, the following facts are important to consider when weighing Ambit Mining: While Georgia may be friendly to mining at the moment, it still is a very expensive and energy-consuming sport that might be changed or even faded away in the future. -1.5 Mining nowadays is not as easy and profiting as it was during the golden days of the blockchain. Major mining companies have already established plants that work for years, having a standard client database. Ambit Mining will have to work hard to attract new investors into their network. Even with the lowest prices of the market, that is a challenge. -2 In general, mining facilities are extremely vulnerable to natural disasters, and that does not exclude Ambit Mining from the list. For an example, an earthquake can be devastating for the company itself as the whole operation is relying on a single geo-location. -1 Ambit Minings native token, AMBT, does not offer anything out of the box, as there are infinite options already doing what AMBT is created to do. -2.5 Growth Opportunity On the other hand, if considered seriously and programmed with technical craftsmanship, mining can be still one of the most profiting sub-sectors of blockchain technology. Ambit Mining seems to understand the specific market well with a series of transparency reports backing this fact. +2.5 Finding cheap operational fees in the sector is not a walk in the park. Whether Ambit Mining has chosen Georgia as their base due to the fact that it is their home country or the fact that it has cheap taxes, and electricity fees, it is one of their best key points for the moment. +3 Unlike most mining plants that are decentrally centralized, keeping almost half of the total token supply for the company, Ambit Mining is in position to share 85% of the total token supply with the community. +4 $0.5 per AMBT or any other token with a logical total token supply is more than just fair and it could bring an easy x4 to x5 just after the token enters the mainstream markets. +2.5 Disposition Ambit Mining could be a profitable model for ICO investors or even blockchain investors, but we should consider the fact that mining will have to eventually upscale its model into a less consuming, energy-efficient platform. The company, as well as the team, look really promising and wise on the sector, although relying your whole business plan on a single country, on a single location could lead to unpleasant surprises in the future. A score of5out of 10is reserved for Ambit Mining, based on present facts.

Yet many of them are functionally dead. This is problematic for both the owners of these dead tokens and the cryptocurrency markets at large. For the owners of the dead coins, the issue is that they cannot recover the value locked in either a token and/or network that doesnt allow them to trade for anything else. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency markets themselves suffer from the dilution of capital, resources and reputation issues due to the sheer number of unusable coins. // -- Become a yearly Platinum Member and save 69 USD and get access to our secret group on Workplace. Click here to change your current membership -- // CoinJanitor aims to solve these issues by taking over failed projects and exchanging the associated failed tokens with that of its native Janitor token (JAN). Their plan is to burn all failed project tokens they receive. Through this approach, they posit that value will be restored to individual users who can then sell or trade their CoinJanitor tokens for other cryptocurrencies. An additional benefit will also come to the community via the recycling of codebases and project assets. The project is premised on the belief that by reducing resource dilution in the overall cryptocurrency market, CoinJanitor will contribute to the network effect of truly functional coins, more effectively leverage fragmented communities, and implement mechanisms for the recycling of spent resources back into future projects. As a result of this valuable market service, CoinJanitor proposes that it will also benefit from its own network effect and create a highly engaged, loyal community of coin holders working towards the improvement of utility and value in the crypto economy. Token According to their own whitepaper, CoinJanitor tokens will be a deflationary asset with an increasing community and reach, which should push prices up and give us more comfortable terms to buy out subsequent failed projects. Therefore, users of the first projects that we buy out will enjoy a double benefit. They will receive relatively more CoinJanitor tokens for their locked value, and as CoinJanitor proceeds to buy out the next projects, the value and the price of the CoinJanitor tokens they hold, should increase accordingly. The hope for CoinJanitor is that this economic incentive will create enough interest to speed up the achievement of their stated goal of buying out 3 dead or failed coins within the first 2 months of operations. From that point forward, they believe the pace should accelerate since they would be able to prove the viability of the project, gather more users under the CoinJanitor umbrella, and generate more demand from dead or failed coin holders. In theory this is a coin whose very business model and inherent token economics should lead to exponential growth for long-term holders if implemented correctly. There will be a total of 100,000,000 JAN tokens generated in the ICO.Token distribution is as follows: 50% of all tokens will be sold in the open market to fund the project and all operations. 30% of the coins will be held by the CoinJanitor project to buy out dead or failed coins. According to the whitepaper, CoinJanitor will only use the tokens it issued to buy dead coin holders out. 5% CoinJanitor Partners 5% Bounty Program 10% Founders, Team and Future Employees Their whitepaper states that all CoinJanitor tokens not sold during the public sale will be airdropped proportionally to contributors. This airdrop will importantly EXCLUDE CoinJanitor team members and the CoinJanitor reserve. Team This appears to be a highly qualified team.

He has been studying Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies ever since, moving into the field as an analyst on a full-time basis 2 and a half years ago. Verdict In the eyes of this analyst, CoinJanitor looks like a fascinating and incredibly useful project. They have a detailed multi-year operational plan that considers the use of all resources in great detail within their white paper, with logical explanations for everything they want to spend money on. When combined with the extremely friendly ICO price relative to the total token supply, the basic deflationary economics of the project, and fact that they are the only project attempting something like this gives me great confidence that this could be highly successful going forward. Risks Unprecedented project goals. This makes it harder to define what long-term success would look truly look like. With no existing similar projects to compare to it, CoinJanitor has both the blessing and the curse of having a first mover advantage. -2.5 The project could suffer from malicious opportunists who could attempt pump and dump or mining attacks on the coins that CoinJanitor attempts to recycle. -3 Growth Potential Incredibly low token supply means it will not take a lot of capital inflows to pump up the price +3 The coin is deflationary with a small and finite supply. Paradoxically, the more dead projects CoinJanitor absorbs, the more valuable their native token will become. +4.5 Highly qualified and experienced team +3.5 Disposition We are left with a score of 6.5 out of 10 for CoinJanitor. This analyst believes this to be a potentially fantastic investment, especially as a long-term play.

Continue Reading ICO ICO Analysis: ImmVRse Published 2 days ago on April 20, 2018 By Alex Moskov ImmVRse is a blockchain-based virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) video sharing and hiring platform. Similar to YouTube, the platform allows you to like, comment, and share videos with other users but also connects creators with those who need their services (e.g. brands and advertisers). The combined VR/AR market targeted by the team is projected to reach $162 billion by 2020. // -- Discuss and ask questions in our community on Workplace. VR/AR Industry Problems Because the VR/AR space is still relatively young, there are numerous roadblocks inhibiting its growth. Primarily, content creators are spread across platforms because theres no dominant space for them to publish their work. As a brand or advertiser, this makes it difficult to connect with quality video producers. Additionally, many of the companies that are dedicated to AR/VR video sharing are highly centralized and limit who they allow to use their platform. Another hindrance to the growth of this market is the difficulty to generate revenue. Several countries have strict legislation revolving around payments, especially in overseas transactions. This, in combination with the oversaturation of video on traditional platforms, prevents quality AR/VR creators from expanding. // -- Become a yearly Platinum Member and save 69 USD and get access to our secret group on Workplace. Click here to change your current membership -- // ImmVRse Solutions ImmVRse is tackling all of these problems head-on. The team is not only building a sharing platform but a community as well. They want users to interact heavily with one another to help foster a supportive AR/VR ecosystem. To prevent restrictions on membership and content, ImmVRse uses Ethereum smart contracts for the peer-to-peer aspect of the platform. The entire jobs matching process, from inquiry to publication, is decentralized without any intermediary control. As with most other platforms implementing cryptocurrency, a large function of blockchain for ImmVRse is in their payments system. Users give and receive payments using the projects ERC20 token, IMV. Additionally, normal viewers who interact with the platform are rewarded with IMV as well. This opens up the platform to people in countries with prohibitive legislation and/or limited financial infrastructure. Finally, ImmVRse provides a unique solution to the revenue problems mentioned earlier. Because its an AR/VR dedicated platform, brands and advertisers are able to easily find the AR/VR talent theyre looking to hire for content production. One thing that stands out in the revenue model, though, is that high-value creators need to pay a monthly subscription to maintain a premium status on ImmVRse. This seems odd because theyre the driving force behind the platform. However, if the leads and value they receive from keeping their status are high enough, this may be a non-issue. Token The ImmVRse team is currently preparing for their token crowdsale but have a pre-sale announcement on May 15. No other dates have been announced yet, but the whitepaper states that the token sale will last for 6 to 8 weeks. During the ICO, the team will mint a maximum supply of 300 million IMV with no additional token creation after. IMVs are ERC20 tokens, so you can use any standard ERC20 wallet to participate in the ICO. IMV tokens will cost $0.20 with discounts to early contributors and pre-ICO participants. During the pre-ICO, tokens will have a 20% discount while early contributors can receive an additional 10% discount. The IMV token distribution is more centralized than most other projects with only one-third going to crowdsale participants. The distribution is as follows: 53% ImmVRse 33% ICO participants 10% Team and advisors 4% Rewards and bounties Creating even more centralization, only 60% of the crowdsale tokens are slotted for the public crowdsale. The remaining 40% will be distributed among private investors and pre-ICO participants. The crowdsale has a hard cap of $20 million. Team The ImmVRse team is headquartered in London and led by co-founders Farabi Shayor and Limon Rahman. Shayor has two and a half years of VR production experience alongside proficiency in Solidity development. Rahman is a seasoned entrepreneur with 14 years of financial control and management experience. Together they form a yin (product) and yang (business) combination thats great to see in a founding team. Unfortunately, the rest of the team is lacking in both AR/VR and blockchain experience. Although the technologies are new, it wouldve been nice to see a few team members with related projects under their belt. On a positive note, the team has a solid advisory board that should be able to help with any gaps in their knowledge base. Verdict The ImmVRse team is building a platform to highlight AR/VR content creators and connect them with companies looking for their services. Theyre attempting to solve some of the biggest growth problems in the video space now: censorship and profitability. Although the majority of team members dont have ample experience in key areas, the co-founders and advisory board should be able to carry them through. However, with so much of the platform revolving around quality content creation, ImmVRses decision to charge content creators for premium status may end up hurting them in the long run. Risks New market. The demand for AR/VR content is still yet to be proven. Its entirely possible that the need for this type of video is still multiple years away. Remember 3D televisions? (-1) Reliance on creators. Without happy creators, the platform has no value. Charging them for a premium status is starting off on the wrong foot. (-2) Terrible token distribution. Even if the platform becomes wildly successful, ImmVRse can just release more tokens into the ecosystem to keep the price at a reasonable level. (-3) Growth Potential Emerging market. Yes, I know I put the market as a risk, but theres huge growth potential here as well. AR/VR content has a multitude of use-cases and this market could end up being gigantic. (+5) Supportive advisers. Any expertise that the team is missing is filled in by some member of their advisory board. (+3) Multiple revenue streams. Advertising, job completion fees, creator monthly subscriptions, and numerous other things theres plenty of ways for the platform to make money. (+4) Disposition ImmVRse receives a respectable 6 out of 10. The platform is highly dependent on an industry that hasnt really broken ground yet. If AR/VR adoption is still far outside of the horizon, it may be years before ImmVRse shows value too long for a young project to survive. However, an AR/VR market boom could position ImmVRse to be the next big media platform to take the world by storm.
