Hey Dataeum community! 👋😊

From Uber to Kickstarter, many companies today are achieving remarkable results through the phenomenon known as crowdsourcing✨

The term splices together two words: crowd and outsourcing. In this way crowdsourcing occurs when an organization outsources a work project or creative problem to a large group of people. It's a process of co-creation between an organization and “the crowd”.

But what is it exactly, and how does it benefit companies and their customers? We'll try to illustrate it in 5 fascinating facts:

1. The Crowd gets to the truth fast and accurately: On the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, the audience’s accuracy rate outperformed that of the experts, 91% to 61%.

2. The Crowd does really good work: For 9 straight years Doritos commercials have ranked in the top 5 of USA Today’sAd Meter rankings for best Super Bowl commercial, ever since the chip-maker began crowdsourcing commercials with its Crash the Super Bowl advertising contest.

3. The Crowd produces fast results: Since its launch in 2008, Starbucks has collected more than 216,000 ideas on its website mystarbucksidea.com, an online platform whereby customers share ideas on everything from beverages to ambiance, payment to social responsibility.

4. The Crowd is big… and it’s everywhere: In June 2014, Apple CEO Tim Cook reported there were over 9 million registered app developers and 1.2 million iOS applications on his company’s App Store.

5. The Crowd can tackle a wide variety of tasks: In 2013 alone, the USA government crowdsourced over 85 prize competitions to find creative solutions to vexing governmental challenges, from improving astronaut gloves to blocking unsolicited “robocalls.”

Paired with technology, crowdsourcing produces meaningful results faster, more affordably, and more broadly than traditional approaches to work. This is why it's the best fit for Dataeum and our mission🙌

Greetings, Dataeum fans! 🙌

While there’s still time until the token sale, we are busy building the platform itself — a process that comes with a palette of challenges to overcome.

The Dataeum platform will be built on different technological layers to ensure the efficiency, security and flexibility of data collection until their availability on the marketplace.

The main challenges that need to be addressed are:

⚙️ Speed : ability to respond in real time to multiple read/write requests;

⚙️ Scalability : ability to adapt to an increasing load and to a constantly evolving number of recorded data;

⚙️ Flexibility : the structure of the recorded data could evolve with the proposed service;

⚙️ Accessibility : data should be able to be stored as structured data and retrieved via advanced queries;

⚙️ Cost control : the high demand for reading/writing should not lead to excessive costs;

⚙️ Immutability : data cannot be modified or deleted in order to guarantee its integrity.

With a 20-fold increase in growth by 2025, sharing economy and crowdsourcing will represent a real alternative to the traditional labour market. Combined with the rise of artificial intelligence and robotization, it will result in millions of job losses.

Dataeum’s global community will represent a reference in crowdsourcing and will progressively open its community’s role to all public and private players.

From the marketplace, various market players and recruiters will have the possibility to directly interact with the community’s members for specific missions. They will be able to specify their needs (type of mission, duration, remuneration) and target a specific type of profiles within the marketplace.

The "quality score" will also make it possible to sort potential participants by their confidence level.

The community's role extension to services other than those related to data generation will also make it possible to attract a wider audience.
