ICO review: MakersMarks is a practical blockchain solution for product identification and ownership


Today  we will review two projects that I think have deep concept but can make better their marketing campaign.
The first one is MarkersMarks. It is a blockchain solution for product identification and ownership. What they want to do is create proof of ownership using blockchain. Everything that you create can be marked with a Marker that will link it to your public account. Then you can create an identifier that will be used in separate sidechain that will carry all heavy loaded operations.
The reason why I think they could have done a better job on their marketing is cause reviewing their website I did not find anything about social activities besides linkedin. We will review it a bit later. Btw that email at the bottom is not clickable what makes it inconvenient for me to write them an email. It is not a hard task to add a mailto hyperlink tag to it.
According to their white paper they are planning to distribute tokens in three phases.
We can see here that the first phase will start on August 23rd and will last for a month. Project team is planning to do releases and distribute 30% of the tokens during each period. 10% of the tokens the team is planning to leave to themselves.
What I want to attract your attention to is that they have three people in their team. It is Adam, Sergey and Kimber. Reviewing their social profiles in linkedin Adam is working on that project since January. Looks like he brought the main concept to this project. Then there is CTO Sergey. Does not look that he had mentioned anything about the fact that he is CTO in this project and at the same time he is CTO at Kelecorix. The third guy Kimber is a Freelance Senior Event/Digital Producer. May be he is the one responsible for digital marketing.

Let's take a look at one thing. When I was reviewing the website I noticed that github link on the homepage is broken. Check out our code under github. First thing I thought was cmon guys you are doing an ICO and you have broken links on your homepage. Be careful. But I decided to move on and went to the contacts page. There was a correct link to the github. I did not review the code. I will leave it up to you guys to take a look at if what they declare is done here correctly. If you are a blockchain developer you can tell us in the comments under this video if what they have on github has anything to do with the project they are doing.

So the presale had already started. On pre sale page it says that the ICO starts in 23 days. I thought it should start in 4 days. Let's take a look at the homepage one more time. The roadmap says that they should start the ICO in 4 days. What I want you to do is to read their whitepaper it might be useful for you. I think that this project can be applied in Industry 4.0 for instance. The only thing I did not find is how they are planning to monetize it. Looks like it is another technology startup that you might want to support in case you are interested in this technology in the future. But the business model is unclear. Leave your comments if I did not notice. Good luck.

ICO review: Godzillion - The New Disruptive Decentralized Marketplace

Today is August 25th and we are reviewing ICOs again. I want to attract your attention to the fact that there is about 6 or 7 ICOs starting today. I had reviewed all of them. The first thing that was on my mind is it a joke or not? Some of them obviously are a joke. Instead of making a very critical video about all of them I decided to pick on that might worth reviewing on TokenSell channel. This project is called Godzillion. It is done by chilean company. They are from South America. This is first project that we review from Chile. It is ethereum based token that will unable to vote, issue and distribute the tokens within ethereum virtual machine. You can review video with this guy. He seems to be very confident about what he is saying. I do not want to go too deep through their whitepaper. You can do it by yourself. I just want to mentioned that guys had placed a lot of information on their website. I can not agree with the way they designed it: colors, backgrounds. It is mor...

ICO review: CarTaxi - World's first operating car towing platform on blo...

Hello everyone. Today we will review a project called cartaxi. It is going to ICO. Right now it at the stage of pre-ICO. The reason why I picked up this project because it is one of those project that are already working projects with an MVP and other applications in apple store and google play. Let`s see what this project has. The team had created an application that allows car drivers to get their car towed to a place where it can be repaired. Right now it is a trend that a lot of services like that are being aggregated and the leads from real calls from people are forwarded to the nearest service provider available. This industry is not an exception. Reviewing this project I see that the team has understanding of where their project is going, they did their marketing research and are aiming towards markets of Russia, China and USA. You can see the team here on their website. The team is quite big - over 40 people. They have names and descriptions with linkedin profiles. The t...

ICO review: UTRUST is a revolutionary payment platform that empowers buyers to pay with cryptocurrencies while providing a groundbreaking purchase protection mechanism

Today we will review another ICO. This project is in the stage of pre-ICO. The reason why I chose this project is cause I like there website and they have descent white paper. This project - UTRUST - does a new revolutionary payment platform. They will help people to use fiat currencies to pay in their tokens and at the same time provide an ecosystem for solving disputes and do it faster than it is done by services as bitpay. Now what I like about this website and about this project is they have partners, nice video describing the project, they also have a strong team that makes me think they have all chances to succeed. And everybody in the team has linked in profiles which proves they are real people. It is nice to work with real people at our ICO age. Reviewing their white paper you will notice that they have description of the problem and clear explanation how they will solve the problem. They will try to make an ecosystem for ecommerce and cryptocurrencies to make it mor...
