The development of new electronic coins linked to the blockchain is now the order of the day. Thanks to crowfounding tools, such as those offering ethereum, anyone can create a campaign to raise money to invest in research for their new crypto idea.
This fund-raising method in the last few years has attracted several investors to different ICO projects, but things have changed today.
Until recently, a new-born startup operating in the sector could have generated millions of dollars in a very short time, but investors are resizing and analyzing better where to invest money to generate profits.
Anyone can write a white paper, generate a smart contract, publish the address of their portfolio.
For this reason, investors today are much more careful to better understand who is behind a project, the type of product and the timing of development as well as understanding the goal of a project and how the project will bring value to the community.
For this reason, today I have compiled a list of projects related to the blockchain that could prove interesting for next year, 2018.
Yes, because these projects are all very young and in some cases have yet to finish the initial crowdfunding phase.
1. Gladius
A unique project in the blockchain world, thanks to Gladius, in the future, an intelligent decentralized network will be able to completely eliminate the safety and speed projects of the websites that use the technology.
Project participants will be able to offer their hosting machines or computers and bandwidth to contribute to the network and earn tokens in return, which can be changed in cash or used to host your website in a solution to hacker test and very fast.
Public sale has already begun on 1 November 2017 and the official launch is scheduled for August 2018.
Because of the fact that Gladius has a great team behind it, a winning idea and an exhaustive wihte paper, I think it can be a product to focus on next year.
2. CanYa
CanYa uses the blockchain to create a platform that combines demand and supply, anyone can offer or request services in the network and be paid for doing work in CanYa Coins.
To encourage the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the future, the companies that operate now should, as the CanYa guys are doing, create prefabricated structures, so that adoption is simpler and more natural (if this service takes hold it will be inevitable that people enter and adopt the currency).
In addition, the company has a very large and complete team for all company needs already today.
The first phase of the ICO started in mid-October and only 60,000,000 coins were released, while those who participate in the pre sale will receive an additional 400% on their investment.
3. Dether
Dether aims to have an easy and intuitive system with which any person, even without any technical or computer skills, is able to operate with crypto-currencies.
The company offers everyone the opportunity to buy Ethereum in cash, online or by anyone on the street.
With the application provided anyone will be able to make exchanges of coins and goods between private individuals and shops simply using their smartphone.
The application of Dether is powerful, but the simple features make it a very interesting candidate for those looking for new ICOs to add to their portfolio in 2018.
4. EOS
EOS has already collected an exceptional amount of funds from its collection, but their ICO will not be on the official market until June 2018.
The system that EOS offers will allow, through an intelligently structured blockchain, to process transactions much more efficiently than current speed, by processing EOS proprietary processes.
EOS provides an infrastructure where smart contracts can travel up to 100,000 transactions per second, a big step forward compared to bitcoin and ethereum that suffer from a problem of slowness and problems in managing a large number of transactions.
This type of solution is largely B2B, which is a good sign for investors, because it is very difficult to turn out to be a scam, given that large companies are very careful and documented on the partners they choose, especially at the clock level.
5. Privatix
Privatix has created a peer-to-peer product based on Ethereum that saves energy to its users and allows them access to a powerful distributed proxy software.
This tool will be very useful in countries where there is censorship on information and the state of limited use of the Internet exclusively within the state, I speak of countries like Russia and China, where VPNs are prohibited and, where Normal people are not able to visit websites and networks that are hosted outside their country.
The applications of this tool can vary a lot, for example giving the possibility to Chinese guys to watch Netflix, or to be able to enter the Chinese firewall from an external state; the applications are many and very useful from a technical and globalization point of view and could break down the imposed political barriers that citizens certainly do not accept but are forced to suffer.
I see a good investment in 2018 due to the fact that the countries with censorship are very large and there are billions of people living in the censorship, this product could unblock this political yoke and give more freedom to the citizens.
6. Energi Mine
This upcoming ICO is courtesy of a UK-based company, Energi Mine, founded in 2016.
That they have waited more than a year to launch their ICO is encouraging, especially given the complexity and potential of their product.
The company uses artificial intelligence and blockchain to manage the energy use of large customers and encourages energy conservation through its ETK token.
The global energy market is worth 2 trillion dollars, and capturing a part of it could be a lucrative opportunity.
A decentralized platform for energy use will allow colleagues to exchange energy between themselves and reward participants who show energy-efficient behaviors.
Find the Blockchain Killer app
While blockchain is certainly a revolutionary technology, it can no longer be presented as an independent feature for a new startup. Companies need to make smart use of blockchain as a software solution, demonstrate the value of their idea and talk about their team and timeline rather than the future value of their token. In this way, examining ICOs for investments becomes much easier and highly reward those who can separate big concepts from stories or scams.
And you? Have you invested in some ico recently? Do you have any advice to give me to improve this article?
I would be very grateful if you left me your opinion below in the comments!
A hug from Antonio
I invested in Gladius pre-sale, is a very big idea if they develop it well.
@johncrypto I hope Gladius can emerge and I hope they give the chance to share their computing power as per the table on their website. If they do (even if the profits are lower than those in the table) I should have a good idea to produce cashflow
CloudFlare is the main player in the Ddos protection, even if they get like 5% of their market share and evaluation is massive grow
@johnycrypto we keep our eyes open then! Certainly if it emerges and there is money to be opened I will open a few machines on digitalocean that share computing power with Gladius network
Thanks for this article, have been searching for which new ico to invest in....you just help me so that I can make the right choice....thanks once again
am new to crypto currency.
A pleasure @maxpayne5 is a search that has come in handy for me too. We'll see, I think they have to keep an eye on it in 2018 to see if they will be adopted for their functionality
Interesting, thanks for the post!
my pleasure @cryptobref thanks for the opinion
I'm a member of a small crypto group that calls themself "dragonslayers". We've been thinking how come after 7 years nobody has thought of using existing social networks for voting, instead of Proof of Work or Proof of Stake.
So here is our proposal for a coin:
https://github.com/srccoin/srccoin.si
What do you think?
Nice to meet you @codemojo!
I think, leaving aside the idea of the crypto itself, that before proposing you should work on the 'packaging' of the idea to try to do a crowdfunding .. I intend to work a lot on communication to the public during the pre-launch phase and then to worry about technical development (after obtaining funds).
I say this because I think you can understand if an idea can be successful or not by testing it on the public through a beta version (or pre-launch with crowdfounding, as they all do at the moment) through the feedback you have with the public.
To have a good grip on the public you should create a nice landing page or better a website with a blog (that you use to do content marketing), where you explain well what the project is aimed at, where to publish a detailed white paper, where there is a roadmap for the launch of the currency and where there is a team with links to real profiles (to demonstrate your good faith).
Then, to get public, just contact the biggest companies in the business and the crypts, if you have done a good job of communication on web pages should publish.
Having publications on newspapers and authoritative blogs they can be used as testimonials on the landing page where you present your project.
Since you use github there is the possibility, with jekyll and github pages to be able to host and create your landing pages for free (if you chew a bit with ruby, html, css and javascript).
I created a free theme for jekyll that has already integrated everything needed to launch a marketing campaign and get statistics through the google suite, it's called Jorigamy.
I hope I have been helpful, I wish you happy Christmas holidays.
I could use a help creating a nice landing page for the project. First we need to figure out if people actually want a coin like that. I am making enough money investing in crypto, don't need to do an ICO for profits. I'd do it to make a change. Bitcoin mining is expensive and centralized. There is a lot of room for improvement.
As I wrote to you, I think you should work on the presentation a little bit. For example, I do not understand why you thought the project was:
Is it a tool used to track and segment social profiles (or anyway accounts on a web platform) of a given user in order to give authority to his opinions or not? This based on an algorithm that decides how authoritative and reliable you are? To avoid spam?
If this is the project and I understood correctly it could be interesting
Exactly. Instead of hashing power, the system would rely on "social power". So if we are in the network and your karma is 6 and mine is 4, you'd get 60% of the block reward when a new block is mined. And no expensive mining equipment or electricity costs.
It can be a great idea @codemojo ! But did you think how to make the various social media use and implement this technology? I think there must be some kind of facilitation to make sure that technology is adopted, otherwise it would be a lot of work for nothing
Yeah I did a proof of concept for yours.org website:
http://operation-dragonslayer.com/misc/yours
Here you can see the network and their rank. So a user would simply put his coin address on their profile page description, and that would be enough to start receiving coins on that address. But this is just a theory for now.
Great article! I have missed some of this new ICO startups that you have mentioned in your article. I will be following you for more news from cryptocurrency world-
Hey @sela nice to meet you 😉! Keep an eye on them in 2018, some may explode and you might find some way to make money.
I also keep an eye on this 2018 and maybe I start working with mining or trying to invest
I hope I have been helpful, I wish you happy Christmas holidays.
Hey great article
Just made some tips to promote it and get some audience
https://steemit.com/money/@bartcardi/how-to-get-more-upvotes-on-steemit-free-promotion
Will help u get alot of people to view this. Because i like this post of yours thought this might help.
Hey @barcardi thanks a lot! I definitely take a look to try and get more exposure, thanks for sharing it.
I wish happy holidays
Nice post man! Keep up!
I'll do @chelinxar1 🤙
I just followed you cause your posts seems to be informative post you can find similar crypto news on my steemit that might be productive for you too...
@reewy
Thanks a lot @reewy done the same but you could leave your opinion! Which new generation crypts do you think will be successful?
Great set of the information.
Bookmarked!
@aschatria thanks a lot! Stay tuned, new fresh contents every week.
I hope I have been helpful, I wish you happy Christmas holidays.
Thank you for the information
@lafomaniaco Thank you for your opinion I really appreciate what you like.
I hope I have been helpful, I wish you happy Christmas holidays.
Just some hints: #bankex (already gone since yesterday, it's going to be big), #trade.io (impressive team). And I have to agree with you about #CanYa, for me the best thing about them is that they already have a working product in the market and it has proven itself to actually work, while a lot of #ICOs just seem to be grabbing money first and getting to work (or not...) later on. Keep it up with the good articles, you have a follower here, I've been reading you through the past days and find your writings quite useful (specially for someone like me still new to Steemit). Greetings from #Spain!
Thanks @cryptopeter I'll check out your hints.
I continue, I'm planning to write a case study on this post, as I did to generate $ 94 with a post, but I have to think about it well.
Greetings from Italy
Interesting, thanks for the post graet waw
Thanks a lot @sibal.nibal ! 😉
Hello, Your article is really very good quality. I've discovered other projects such as energie Mine that seem to me to be a good alternative for people with solar panels on their roofs, and looking for a way to make money.
My congratulations and continued to publish other article of this level.
Thank you very much for your appreciation @thierrybmonie ! Of course I will certainly continue.
Good start of the year 2018 🎇🎆
hey @thierrybmonier I forgot to ask you if it is to post here projects related to solar energy that you have found, are very useful for me and any readers
Thank you very much for this post. I have bookmarked each of these companies. Being relatively new to cryptocurrencies, do any of these have coins that can be purchased at the exchanges? If not, what is the best way to know when their coins will become available? Thanks again.
Hello @davidcrist thanks for the comment!
No, they are not available in exchanges because they are new tools. In order to participate actively you could participate in the initial fundraising (usually sending ethereum to receive the corresponding in the currency they use for crowdfounding).
Or you should check for each one, which is the launch date of the ICO, and follow the developments until a possible adoption by the exchages.
I really was interested in investing in icos
thanks for sharing, i ll do my research now
cheers @antoniotrento
Hey @alexandraioana thanks and nice to meet you!
I hope it was useful for you too! If you do your research and you want to share your opinions in the comments I would be happy!
Good start of the year 2018
very good infirmation!!! thanks a lot...
Thank you for reading it @mleyelm! I wish a good start of 2018 🎇
Hey @antoniotrento - nice article!
I would be interested in your opinion regarding the ICO of unibyte: https://unibyte.io/
Hey thanks for the comment @sgrasmann 👋
Honestly, before I did not know the technology, I see that it is dedicated to the business to business, for us 'ordinary mortals' there would be opportunities to make money?
I have to inform myself better to give an opinion..
Thank you for the list. I could see Privatix being very useful in the future.
Is a pleasure @jdank321, thank you for reading it. 🙏
You have a very ambitious project, we'll see if they can make it happen. A good start of 2018
Thanks for the research, it narrows down the options considerably and gives us some time to investigate before the ICOs end
Thank you @darren.lipshitz ! Yes, although some as EOS are already at an advanced stage, they are certainly to be monitored next year.
I am sure that among the thousands of ICOs that there are some will explode heavily over the next few years (and I would like to know exactly which ones).
The advantage of this gold rush in this era is that gold is generated by winning ideas and ideas that sprout out like mushrooms, we must see the friction that make strong hands, like states and corporations, in this process.
Good article, @antoniotrento.
Personally, I'm focusing on the healthcare industry. I've seen some good ICOs launched, such as OST (Simple Token), with more to launch in 2018, like Aimedis (Aimedix).
I saw huge upgrades in terms of AI and machine learning in this industry, so my prediction is blockchain technology will spark there in the following year.
Backing my words based on this article I read years ago by an investor who said the issues humanity will face in the following decades include healthcare, fuel, energy, and more. There were 8 in total.
There's going to be demand in better medication (healthcare + health tech), demand in chemists (to come up with alternatives to fuel), and engineers.
I see huge potential in the blockchain to help businesses launch products and protocols in each of these industries.
So if people are smart, some ICOs could contribute to actually solving big issues in the next 10-20-30 years. :)
Nice to meet you @roxxanneenhank, thank you for your opinions!
I also believe that soon these technologies will have to be integrated to give greater transparency to any association, foundation or company.
The problem is that I see a lot of opposition from many big names in the market.
The sectors you are talking about are all special sectors in which there are many economic interests behind (unfortunately), so I can not see.
As for https://simpletoken.org/ thanks for mentioning it, I did not know it! Do you know if you can already create your own blockchain with the tool? (I'm looking for the way to realize my idea with blockchain technology).
As for Aimedix I do not trust, let me explain why:
Their site is served through http and not https (it is not at all serious from professional developers also creates an effect of distrust due to the fact that a browser like chrome does not allow easy access to the website)
Do not mention any team (I only see a landing page where they try to make you read the blog)
In the blog there is no mention in the footer that tells me who I am, if they have a company
I do not see a white paper associated with the project
I do not see a launch program
OST has some groups in Telegram. I'm in this one: t.me/simpletoken
The admins there might know at this point if you can create your own. Last time I checked, they weren't ruling out this option.
Hi @antoniotrento. Good news, thanks to your comment and valuable feedback, the Aimedis Dev team went full speed ahead to complete the white paper and website.
We're now live at https://aimedis.com/en_index.php and the WP will be available soon enough. :D
Fantastic @roxxanneen! Now the project seems more legitimate and it is easier for readers to trust!
I do not understand if you are part of the team or not, however, let me point out that there is a problem of programming in the testimonial section at the top of the page (the image gallery spans the responsive layout of the site)
@antoniotrento Hi Antonio. Yes I'm part of the team, I'm their CCO.
What do you think about the project now? We've spent a few months building the visibility and working on the Community growth.
The platform is already functional, however not yet public until the ico ends (for competitor reasons).
Thank you for the article, how about 2018 for the steem?
@mervesaglamx nice to meet you!
I have not been in a long time so I can not give you an accurate opinion:
I hope it goes well!
Not for nothing I started using steemit, but I think, personal opinion, that if users will use it badly (abusing the system of gain, creating bot and IT tools too pushed) may not emerge too much.
But in itself Steemit as a tool, if used to create content is great because of the fact that it has a good page rank (for SEO), if you join the fact that you could earn if you have support from the community and at the same time you could create a good reading path (ie your blog posts) that you can advise over time by creating conversations on the network (as on facebook or in other social networks to people interested in the topic you are dealing with)
https://steemit.com/steemit/@luzclaritareyes/i-am-new-to-steemit-luz-clarita-reyes-introduce-your-self
Wow nice picture and very good your post
Thanks a lot @mdraihanhkn
Excellent post. Can you explain how blockchain is used in the energy industry?
Thanks for reading @iamipages
Of course, everything starts from the univocal tracking of devices related to production (making better the potential of systems control and energy readings) and then the problems related to the sorting and sale of electrical energy by companies would be much more transparent and manageable holding away from fraud by collaborators or those who read their own system.
At first glance it looks like gladius has the most potential, but the built in scarcity seems counter productive. By making the tokens a commodity they will price out prospective customers. Thoughts?
@iamipages I guess it created scarcity around the system because it's a B2B project.
But the fact that we can have an economic return if we make computing power available to contribute to the network, I think it can have a good impact in the future (if there will be those who will adopt the service).
If you want the possibility of having a snappy and well protected website is not a bad thing for those in the industry.
But unfortunately I can not foresee, I'll see and if there is the possibility of making available computing power I will use a droplet on digital ocean to see if I'll earn something
So... While researching gladius, I found this same article in investopedia. Not word for word, but pretty much the same exact article. What are the rules regarding plagiarism?
@iamipages I do not like to answer any discussion off topic, but you gave me an idea for a new article, so I thank you 🤣.
You're using the wrong word, because this is a derivative work.
There are online tools to check if your work violates copyrigths that I use regularly because using steem you are storing data on a blockchain, these data can no longer be deleted and therefore you have to be very careful ❗️
Also I'm going to expand this post over time to make it more complete thanks to user comments, so it will vary a lot over time because I will add other ICOs that could be interesting in the future, varying further and detaching from being a derivative work.
I wish you a good start of 2018 🎆🎇
