Hi @alexvan - Thanks for doing this article - we appreciate it.
To address some of the risk items you mentioned above:
Number of transactions will not be high enough to cause problems in terms of speed.
We have real estate expertise via our advisers and partners - note the multiple people between our core team and advisers with experience with Knight Frank, and Berwin Leighton Paisner, a leading European legal firm with a focus in Real Estate.
Other members of our leadership team, notably our CEO and CFO, have significant backgrounds in finance and international economics, which fill in some of the key, specialized knowledge areas needed to launch a successful trading exchange.
The ATLANT platform is more dependent on that knowledge, along with the technical, cryptocurrency and exchange-related knowledge depth of our CTO and his core development team, than it is on real estate specific knowledge.
We are not at all dependent on blockchain adoption by anyone else. Working with state entities after they adoption blockchain is a long term "moonshot" goal of ATLANT, as stated in our white paper, but is not, in any way, tied to our core business model. If that never happens, we'll still be very successful.
Our road map is tight, but we are actually a bit ahead of schedule with various code releases, per our GitHub repository and related announcements.
The initial requirement of €20 million to list on the ATLANT platform is not only not restrictive, but self-regulating: a given property owner has interest in listing and creating a property token, or they do not. Suffice it to say that interest is quite high, and closer to launch, we may announce some of the initial property owners who will list with us.
I hope this helps clarify - thanks again for your article.
Hey Doug!
Thank you for dropping by and for the detailed information. It is always good to have some insight information.
The article is based on my research and on the information I could find on the web. Also the opinions stated are personal. I started the real estate series with Atlant.io as I see some difference between other real estate ICO.
You can see from other comments that I mentioned you released some parts of the platform.
Also I think it would be a good idea if you would join the adsactly discord channel, where we discuss cryptos and ICOs: https://discord.gg/gXMH3qu
