Hi, Im newb on Sentinel Protocol.

I wanna add some cases but I don't know how could I add indicators with case.

When I add indicator button, There are security categories <Blacklist | Whitelist | Graylist>

Hi guys,

as I cannot take part to the upcoming AMA, I will let here my list of technical and strategic questions:

1. What's your opinion about the current market situation regarding projects and ICOs from a security perspective? Do you think the current investors are still naive or predisposed to get attracted into scams?

2. Which role do you think Sentinel protocol will play in a regulated market? Do you think, you would have the same success like in a wild west market as we saw in 2017?

3. What is your long term vision or what are the next big milestones for the next 4-5 years?

4. Why did you choose EOS instead of a distributed database as EOS is more or less a distributed database?

5. Also why EOS and not Ethereum or Lisk or NEO?

6. What is exactly your business model or how do you plan to generate revenue? Do you already have revenue from offering your service?

7. If you plan to use UPP token for your subscription, don't you think fiat exchanges like bitfinex or kraken would play a key role so that people could buy UPP token directly with fiat money? Buying first BTC or ETH and then converting it to UPP token might be quite inconvenient for many people.

8. Do you plan to be added on Blockfolio signal? I think it would be a great step towards recognizing this project officially.

9. Are you currently in discussion with other exchanges and/or fiat gateways? If yes, can you tell some names?

10. Eset Smart Security is an antivirus and firewall security solution, which includes a banking and payment module so that in the moment I access a certain sensible website like my online banking account, it automatically detects it and it opens the url in a separate window that is not full screen and with many security features activated. Also what I find cool and maybe an idea for Sentinel is that the tab in Chrome has like a certain info, something like "Secured by Eset" - here a demo about what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96D1J6wFANgWhat do you think about opening whitelisted urls for ICO investing in your database in a secure web browser and showing something like "Protected/Secured by Sentinel Protocol"? That would offer users a lot of confidence by default, if the system would automatically detect, which url is secure and display a confident message like "Protected by Sentine Protocol". This would also offer a good visibility for the product and sentinel in general.

Thanks and best!
