RE: A Simple Crypto-Reinvestment Plan & ICOs On The Horizon
http://crowdsale.iex.ec/ (6/10)
I am surprised you only rate this a 6/10... for me of the three this is the most exciting. I can see the synergies though between iEx.ec and Qtum .....
Haha I gotta admit it's a mix of considering Ethereum's Golem first mover advantage and its subpar branding.. which is why it scored lower on my confidence rating, but agree it's pretty cool :)
I work for a very large retailer, and we are aggressively moving into the Cloud/s .... but the youngsters here get p!ssed off when I tell them it is not real Cloud, just a bunch of tin in someone else's data centres. I have been telling them for a while now that blockchain will be the real deal one day... so that little project will get a lot of my attention, especially as I have been asked to head up a small team to investigate potential uses for blockchain technologies within the Group.
So big thanks for the post... led me straight to them {grin}
I actually gave a lecture last month to some of the developers at my company(about 40 of them) on how Ethereum works and the potential blockchains have for data storage and applications. We do media and entertainment so it is pretty huge if we could securely move into one of the datastorage coins for much cheaper than the millions being paid for redundant cloud backups of the thousands of terabytes of data we have.
Forking to a private chain like a lot of the banks are looking at also has a lot of use cases; I could see retail using it for warehouse/workflow/shipping tracking and having a much more robust system. Good luck and that sounds awesome, I wish I could have a team to investigate ways to implement it here.
can you give me an example of a data storage coin to investigate..would be appreciated.
So there's MAID and Storj which are the two front runners right now it seems, SIA is another contender but I haven't seen much from them recently. Ethereum is supposed to at some point have on-chain storage but it hasn't been as much of a priority as the other parts have been.
Just like most software, we'll pretty much have to wait and see which one takes up widespread adoption and is actively developed. Right now they're all in their infancy.
