INTRODUCING DCORE - A Decentralized Asset Research Platform!
The Problem
Blockchain is an innovative technology which can change the world for good. Several applications and real life use cases of this groundbreaking tech can be seen in every industry present today. Right now we are dealing with hype and random projections around Blockchain & Crypto Projects. Decision making by financial investors is getting tougher day by day since there are many different information sources available out there, with varying levels of credibility.
Investors want to keep on top of this eruption of information. Fund managers need to be more confident in decision-making and businesses subject to disruption have to plan their futures.
DCORE
Decentralized Comprehensive Objective Research Engine - is an asset research platform which seeks to identify the potential of blockchain/DLT projects for investment. Asset reviewers contribute by assessing projects and answering questions on the site, and are rewarded with a share of the performance fund over time, and also through #Steem upvotes for completing a number of questions.
The theory is that by having a multitude of knowledgable reviewers, each with their own specialties and areas of expertise, a different picture emerges when considering the potential of a range of projects and assets. This form of decentralized reviewing can identify specific trends in a much wider sample size. Combining this with the combined knowledge of an expert panel of economists, leading cryptocurrency investors and traditional fund managers gives a much broader picture of sentiment.
DCORE is a joint venture by Oracle-D/Yoodoo and KMG Capital Markets.
KMG Capital Markets has over 25 years of experience in the financial industry, with an extensive background in fund management, portfolio management and fund construction. The KMG team comprises of multinational seasoned professionals specialised in setting-up, administrating and managing regulated investment funds and other investment structures on behalf of private and institutional clients worldwide.

Investment selection process consists of 3 stages:
- Scouting of the next big project will be done through social buzz.
- In depth analysis done by leveraging DCORE's global network of researchers.
- Review by Industry level experts at every stage to identify projects with maximum potential.
DCore Engine will create reports and analytical documents which can be accessed by global investors of all kinds.

This seems like a really awesome project with a lot of potential. I hope you are able to find some well seasoned people that will fit exactly what you are looking for. I have re-steemed this post to my feed in case any of my followers are interested.
Thank you so much @bozz. We are looking forward to work with some of the amazing Steem community members.
@Samminator too will come in handy I think he's might be good in this aspect
Please do let him know about it
Thanks @bozz!!
@dcore, that's an interesting project! I will announce it tomorrow in my daily 'Cryptocurreny Market Overview' video as well.
Great to have you onboarD @cryptospa
This seems interesting enough but it seems to place an emphasis on the speculative aspects of crypto (trader / investor) rather than the technical aspects which,in my humble opinion, are the more revolutionary aspects.
We need less "soothsayer" types trying to woo us with charts and more professionals that are able to assess the underlying protocols and security of the technology.
I think a big problem in the industry is we have a lot of superficial evaluations that lead to the crypto layperson getting burned.
What has been reassuring is the development of frameworks such as the Fundamental Crypto Asset Score (FCAS) which takes in many metrics in their analysis.
The point I am trying to make is the best course is finding a relevant subject matter expert when researching a particular crypto product and not place an inordinate emphasis on market analysts. ( As tradition expertise in information technology often translates to crypto)
That's my 0.02 SBD
This was kind of critical of the questionnaire which seems biased towards the market analysis side. I would recommend questions such as:
Do you have a background in information assurance?
Do you have an under standing or legal or regulatory frameworks that pertain to user data?
This could be GDPR, HIPAA or whichever reg framework of the industry the block chain is intending to solve.
Also, are they savvy to marketing?
There are many a projects with sound tech but less than stellar marketing. People able to analyze this would allow the investor to be able to make a more educated decision.
All in all, 4 areas of focus.
Information security / Technological Analysis
Legal / Regulatory Expert
Marketing / Social Media person
Market Analysis - Trader Investor
Sorry for the lack of precision in the terminology but I hope this information brings something to the table to help.
No potential analysis? So make the technically best solution, have a sound legal setup and a great marketing team... get funded.
I think 1. should first and foremost be potential to adoption. Follow by 2. potential to cause scarcity due to use & complexity. In other words how many real estate tokens/BC do we need?
If you get “new 1. and 2.” right then “old 4.” is an inevitable positive.
And, of course, before anything you still need to assess the team because if they lack the required rollercoaster passion, as well as vision, then both “old 1-4” as “new 1-anything” are all irrelevant.
Good insight. I would say vision is probably the most crucial.
A team can have all the skills in the world but if they have no idea where they are going with those skills probably not gonna get far.
Thanks!
I will go with first the required rollercoaster passion. You're sacrificing your life for 6-8 years of building. And at least five years of rollercoaster ride.
Vision matters, and how that ties in to potential token value too. But a lot will change along the road as well. Remember that Instagram was initially a full-blown social network but the users used only the photo filters (no wonder in that era our mobile cameras were crap). AirBnB was about airbeds, yes. Uber was a luxury limo rental.
Most startups will pivot two to three times. A white paper and BC, while more strict upon first thought, also offer much lenience to chance model. The core vision needs to have "spunk" but will eventually be only a minor part of the mainstreamed product.
Thank you @anthonydavisii. Once accepted into the Dcore, you will find that there are many key categories that are reviewed within the system to make sure that a balanced analysis is carried out. Not just market analysis. We already have on our team and also will be searching out specific specialists for some of the more intricate questions.
However, at this stage the majority of the leg work and testing will be done by the people who are able to do the things in the initial application (among other more specialist areas of course)
Hi @starkerz,
One I forget is a cryptographer / crypto analysis type person that understands the mathematics behind hashing / encryption algorithms.
So, I just went to this course and it was quite fascinating when they brought up the Sony PlayStation hack involving a
ECDSA signature and a collision that brought dowm a software versioning system using SHA1 (iirc had it written down in my notes). Moral: Not all algorithms are created equal.
Anyways, finding something with the knowledge of the mathematical operations involving in a block chain system would be another valuable addition.
Sounds like you got a good handle on it and look forward to what we can accomplish as a body of professionals spanning a broad range of knowledge / expertise.
That is certainly what we are building. And it’s s great idea to have someone with block chain knowledge to review the code and ensure that the projects that are backed by dcore actually do what they say they are supposed to do
Yeah, it wasn't really a questionnaire; just seems like a few screening questions.
My own interest is in the cryptonomics - does the maths work - although that only really applies to those projects that actually have some economic system to them.
Oracle-d again pushing the boundaries with real-life utilisation. I wish you all nothing but success. Best wishes guys.
Cheers man ;)
Looks like an interesting project. There are quite a number of researchers and reviewers on this platform. One of such I know is @dj123.
Yes, we hope to leverage the talent here to add value to the chain over time by putting some of the hedge fund profits back in
I'm thinking the blockchain is totally equipped with people that are versed in these field, I see a lot of potential really and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out
Exactly the same for us @josediccus
I'd like to know more about the payment for the reviewers.
Hey @raycoms. There will be Steem upvotes based on accumulated points, and then a bonus payout from profits that are made by the fund on crypto assets that the reviewers propose
You might want to reach out to the @steemleo community to see if any of their members have the skill set you are looking for.
Thank you for this advice @sumatrante. Can you please advise the best way to do this?
@khaleelkazi runs SteemLeo - he is on Discord.
He was on the first episode of TRIBE.talk last week.
Thanks for the suggestion @sumatranate. We used #steemleo tag to reach out the tribe members. Would you like to mention a few names we can get in touch with to discuss the opportunity.
Awesome initiative DCORE. This is another initiative of that applies the use blockchain in real life world. Wish you guys success.
Things are getting interesting by the day. DCORE is set for something big - good for Steem and of course researchers and investors.
