Start Evolving: Welcome Blockchain into your Career Life. (+ Bounty)
Most of the "buidlers" in Crypto are busy creating applications that are meant to attract the masses—that’s a tough shot. Blockchain technology is not yet pretty enough for the average consumer and its main traction driver is the sheer value offering it provides, namely security and control.
Security and control aren’t the main demands of consumers; they seek convenience. In this age of Amazon and GrubHub, convenience is king, even if it demands a grand cost.
On the other hand, businesses, who are at the risk of losing millions of dollars and incredibly private information from breaches, are desperately seeking solutions to improve the security of and control over their data. And, without a doubt, the challenge of communicating securely remains a challenge for every business.
Locking up data is not so tough but making sure the data serves its purpose—floats—without being compromised is a challenge. In any enterprise, small or large, employees need to communicate and sensitive data gets moved around all the time. This is a weak spot of enterprise communication; this is blockchain’s spot to shine.
Blockchain developments need to offer solutions that will benefit people in their work lives. Consumer offerings are a much harder fruit to grab.
This is Your Work Space
A new blockchain-enabled platform, Eso, is creating technology that can give people their own space. Of course, the technology goes beyond serving work environments, but it will offer an incredible amount of value to work space interactions.
Eso is a collection of tools that are successfully merged into a multi-purpose application.
The application is built on the blockchain, secured end-to-end, and all the data interactions are unlocked by the user’s key and pin code. This means your device will be the only one able to connect to your data and the data others have given you access to.
Truly Private Communication
You can text any workplace colleague, client, or business partner sensitive information, while being sure it stays out of reach from others. Unlike the leading texting apps, Eso isn’t tracking or storing your data for their marketing department’s analysis, which would innately nullify your privacy.Also, unlike like a typical texting application which benefits mainly from the network effect, Eso does not need to rely on the network effect as the main product is not reach. The offering here is security and control and this is incredibly useful when dealing with information that impacts your work life and/or business.
A Truly Useful Wallet
There are many wallet applications out there, but they don’t tap into a secure texting system. The ESOS crypto wallet is the first-ever wallet that connects into a communication channel while being built on an encrypted infrastructure and supported by a decentralized network.- While the Eso team feels this will be great because it will allow people to make smart contract-based trustless agreements through simple text messages that lead to an agreement of an amount to be fulfilled, it's quite possible that it can open up something much greater.
- A lot of people who hold large sums of major coins use the services of custodians because they feel worried having to hold and send Crypto due to the raw experience. If people can simply connect to a contact and send money directly to an identity rather than a string of characters, they’d have the confidence that they are sending Crypto to the right person. This! This is something big.
Company Updates
Without a doubt, the Crypto-popular Telegram app has been extremely successful at providing an exceptional UX for updates meant large audiences. However, Telegram’s not decentralized yet and it’s a long way from fulfilling this goal.Meanwhile, Eso aims to give this desirable service to both companies and Crypto communities alike. Except, the tools go beyond a mere announcement channel that is secured by a decentralized network and encryption layer, which would be Telegram’s offering once TON is years into its development. Eso also will offer the ability to announce via calendars while ensuring engagements can be actioned via voting; given that this project is created by founders of ClearPoll, this piece of the service will likely be flawless.
There are other valuable services too. While the above-mentioned functions can certainly benefit individuals too—though, business and professionals will likely be quick adopters—other Eso functions like secure password storage, notepad, and task manager will be friendly for everyday users.
On a closing note, one major plus of the Eso platform will be that transferring ESOS tokens to other users will be free. Building on a previously mentioned point, Eso might be able to crack the barrier of making Crypto transfers friendly to the masses.
The application will have a lot of useful functions for businesses, but it will make Crypto transfers simple and safe enough for anyone, irrespective of the person’s technical know-how; the lack of transfer fees is the cherry on top.

The UI needs to be something my nephew can download on his iphone and sen secure information across the blockchain to the counter party. This is the goal of the techies that are behind the scenes attempting to migrate this toward adoption. Many apps have been able to do this and I love that EOS actually holds an account NAME instead of some random string of characters. This is important.
I beleive is ESO is doing what you are saying it is doing they are taking a huge leap into the busines scene. Many businesses currently use slack as their MAIN group information and private group. The one decentralized dapp that can achieve completely (or more) what slack and others can do will gain huge market share over the competitors. Dapps need to be USEFUL! and they are evolving every day. the dapps now compared to those in the future will be insanely different. Not to mention the dapps now are way better than the first ones as it was. I believe that is part of the reason why the crypto sector could not hold the support that is has built in 2018...the space just is not FUNDAMENTALLY ready to advance yet...
Offering the service without inconveniences is the key challenge. Right now, Eso aims to give convenience as-well as security. Not sacrifing convenience for the sake of security is the key.
Last year I did not know much about cryptos, thanks to steemit I learned a little and I took the interest. Although I am not an expert every day we learn something new. :)
Glad to hear so :)
Right almost all messaging apps have started tracking a lot of data. And also sensitive data is being easily hacked and are vulnerable to virus attacks. Eso is doing a really good job by providing security with block chain and also gives a very good messaging apps. This dApp deserves customers. Businesses will benefit from this as they will be able to secure their data and also in the long run get involved in crypto. Eso is really doing a great job and I feel we should resteem this and support them by providing a wider audience.
First off, yes, please resteem. :)
You make a good point. Messaging apps are increasingly tracking data in order to push effective ads within the messages. That's a strong breach of privacy because messages are being crunched to get user data to funnel better ads.
Could not agree more.
Thank you for continuously bringing these great projects to the attention of the community. What I really love is the focus on privacy. Blockchain has not reached masses yet and the current user base is somewhat sophisticated. This is a great thing for a project like Esos. The general community does care about privacy features.
The ICO is well rated. If I had to point a flaw, I'd say we have to wait till October 2019 to at least see the mobile app.
Exactly what you are doing right now. It's hard to get the noobs on board something like this. Work on those who are already interested in crypto with articles/ads on the features.
The two best examples I've seen are @steemhunt and @steemmonsters which have on-boarded many users.
You are right that a huge opportunity is still to be had in this sector as no one else has eaten the pie from the blockchain side.
The delayed release is due to the team needing funds first.
I agree that most consumers choose convenience over privacy. Look at all the folks that are still on facebook....
ESO offers a great platform. I wonder if the messaging platform is open to everyone or to just businesses. I think it's everyone but it isn't quite clear.
If their transaction are fast, fee and immutable, I believe they could be a major competitor with Steemit and not just telegram
I'm checking out the bounty now
Steemit is cored on content creation. This is focused on communications and interactions.
I completely agree with you!

Hi I found your post to interesting and seems i have a narrow knowledge about Blockchain. i will contribute by answering your question.
Explain what you think message applications can do to improve reach to a wider audience?
I have used some of the blockchain message application.. and one of the ways they do to wider their audience is to the Used of sms in exchange of token that can be exchange for ethereum that. SMS that had not been used because people are communicating more on social networking app.
Eso may have a wider adoption in businesses but it can provide a good value to consumers too. What do you think would be a good way to market to consumers?
As of now many crypto Company are starting to used crypto as payments in major markets. but due to some country that do not support crypto had been the reason to limit the network of MArketing in using Crypto. They are already some good thing happen in markets to consumer.. and that is Trust,affordale,low-fees. Trust due to some Wallet reserve to refunds report products.Affordable due to discounts and tokens earn by the consumer in every transaction. Low-fees because most transaction fess are only around 1%-5%.
What can dApps, in general, do to on-board more everyday people?
Dapps Generally on-board more people everyday by providing security in info and date,prevent others people to access, entertainment where people can also earn like crypto kitties. Dapps provide wallet securtiy, good social network with security like peepeth, good crypto income and cash back through tokens like Bancor and many more.
Nice
To your first question I think we need to consider how important Private Messaging is to any social network. And I think this article/post did a great job explaining it:
https://steemit.com/partiko/@stellabelle/5-reasons-private-messaging-is-critical-to-any-social-network-including-steem-67mjijij
Right now as you mentioned crypto is not "user friendly", which means there isn't much a single coin can do to attract the "masses". It will all depend on the biggest coins until we reach a level where new projects can have a significant impact.
What I mean by that is, we need to promote crypto first, and only then we will be able to market dApps and all those good projects.
Seeing new and new project come onboard the crypto space is amazing, with many solving some life's problems in the most amazing way, with this Èso topping the list.
Am joining there telegram group and checking the white paper too.
Thanks.

Exactly. Tackling real problems is the next leg for this market.
I just resteem your post, I found it very interesting, all block chain technology will improve social media in the future.
The leap in privacy is a given. But I feel this one actually offers convenience too.
