How to create proper crypto-currencies? Blockchain and project overview (practice)

Mikhail Granin Mikhail Granin

NEM Foundation
Russia representative
How to find the idea of a decentralized application? Look for the problem of trust (the third party) and exclude it.
Where else do you need a block of developers? Tokenization of everything: from points in games and loyalty systems to global logistics and fintech.
Where else can I earn money? From mining to the state sector.

Do I need to create crypto-currencies?
Cryptoeconomics - confidence in past events through cryptography and in the future through financial incentives.

The main case is to attract investments in the development:
ICO smoker = "Sell, then do (maybe)."
Kraudfanding, which maximizes the problems that are solved by the blockade: trust to a third party, centralization, opacity and other risks.

"ICO healthy person": For the established companies COMSA - One-stop ICO platform.
How can everyone be the same?
Healthy ICO for start-ups and just good ideas
Analysis of the possibilities of blocking on the example of the project - Decentralized startup accelerator.

Solving the problem of the long tail - the startup is complex, risky and expensive.
From millions of startups to billions.
The problem of fixed fractions (Fix split) is the most frequent cause of the death of a probationer.
"life is too short to do what no one needs" or "GitHub" ideas as a utility filter.
problem ICO:
Is the startup a people or an idea? Decentralized autonomous organization.
The problem of price - without a coincidence of desires to buy and sell there is no way of determining the price.
We accelerate The search for a viable business model - the theory of constraints and the scientific method for testing hypotheses from "Scaling Lean" + multi-team and parallel experiments.
The future is the monetization of the opensource outside of the blocking protocols and the collective superintelligence.

New projects evaluation and estimation

Victor Sychev Victor Sychev

SimbirSoft
CIO
Когда речь заходит об оценке проектов часто можно услышать об основных подходах, таких как:
. По-аналогии
. Экспертная
. По нормочасам
. UCP
При этом остается непонятным, какие именно подходы используют компании и как процесс оценки проектов встраивается в общие процессы компании.
В своем докладе я хочу рассказать наш опыт, какие подходы мы пробовали на практике и на чем остановились на данный момент, какими вспомогательными средствами мы пользовались (от excel и google docs до написания собственных вспомогательных средств) и рассказать к каким изменениям бизнес процессов компании это привело. Также хочу затронуть тему аналитики на этапе оценок для выявления MVP проекта и как нам это помогло улучшить качество оценок, при это минимально увеличив трудозатраты на оценку.
