44 pages of discussion of some incomprehensible sentence? ahah. it's funny. I wonder what you wrote here so much, maybe as-in-order I'll read)

Are you going to create a platform like youtube or ads on other video sites? I hope this project be useful for publishers or advertisers in video niche.

Hi there!
Just to be on the safe side kindly confirm that I am right to have understood that ratings will be assigned by anonymous token holders and then reviewed by other participants (also anonymous ones). But in that case what's your difference apart from a score of rating agencies, which are having a common problem with transparency and preconception?
I thought you were going to implement some kind of AI evaluation.

Wow this thread has exploded over the holidays!

I've been following the Ignite Ratings journey from over a month now, and here is a summary of some of my answers, from an investor's perspective, to few questions asked here.

Q: Can I contribute anonymously? Why PICOPS?
A: Yes you can contribute without PICOPS, but doing verification is like a KYC (Know Your Customer) service, so you know where the money invested is coming from. In many countries where large exchanges like Binance, Poloniex etc. are based regulations will be getting stricter and those companies will be required to authenticate users and funds with KYC.

Now, for listing new coins, either these exchanges would have to verify the identity of all ICO contributors, which would be a very painstaking process - so they will incline to not listing the coin. But since Ignite has already done KYC for most of it's investors, the exchanges will have more faith and are inclined to choose listing this coin over say, one that has not done KYC for it's investors.

This is just one of the many benefits! And Ignite is providing 10 IGNT (0.0667 ETH) tokens to people who do the PICOPS verification (0.024 ETH fee) so that more than makes up for the cost 

Q: What is the brain behind Ignite's ratings?
A: The answer is simple! It is us, the users. By not depending on centralized agencies (Like how S&P and Moody's works) and not depending on tech like AI (which can still be manipulated) the entire ratings system is decentralized. Each user's reputation is tied to their ratings, which is a fool proof mechanism to ensure only the best of recommendations get through. For sure, I think there will be an initial period before we can filter the users with the best reputation, but once the initial ratings are out, there is no way reputation can be gained without successful trades!

Q: Can the team influence the ratings then?
A: Regarding the team influencing ratings, all ratings and everything the team or a user does is stored in the ledger so any member can look up, all events taken by an user - so while we do want the team to be active on the platform they won’t have any more influence then any other member. Equal influence for all regardless of you being part of the team or not!

Q: Is the team responsive?
A: I have to say I am part of the Telegram group, and this team, Chris, Damon, Max and everybody in the team have just won us over with the confidence and credibility with which they answer questions. If there's anything urgent do join the telegram group here https://t.me/igniteratingsICO and they will answer very quick!
Right now it's the holiday season but they're still working super hard on getting this ambitious project running!

Hope I could answer some queries from a user's perspective, and do ask me if I can help anymore!

And here is a small post I put if you need more reasons to be convinced https://steemit.com/ico/@blockchaineco/the-best-ico-i-have-seen-till-date-ignite-ratings

To me ignite rating wants to be a bigger project more than its particular platform. Having a card is really a great idea but at what cost for both teams and users or investors. am really sure you will be required to make payment once you apply for card and also ignite will spend alot to get this on board which is actually not necessary from my view

I can already take a grasp of how this platform will work. Only those token-holders will be able to participate in its ecosystem.
The ratings won't be manipulated by paying a token holder since at the end the token holder will only gain from a successful investment asset.

Lets give them the benefit of the doubt , they already replied and clearified that they are busy on other things, Lets hope that they will be more responsive to the users concerns. READ ABOVE YOUR COMMENT

Ignite ratings solves a very massive problem in regards of trading. Crypto community must be knowledgeable how to handle their tokens, when to pump and when to dump. Token price mostly depends on the holders of the coin. The concept of utilizing smart-routing technology from SpeedRoute for trade execution was first to handle by this Ignite Ratings. The roadmap stated every plans each year.  Just looking for a more clearer ans brief statement of the project to be more understandable by the community.

Is the Ignite debit card accepted in all countries? Can I use this for online shopping?
I am waiting for this ICO

I agree with you that Ignite Ratings team should not pump and dump at market. Investors now are smart, and if this happen, crowded effective can make project fail. And the team solving a lack of trading information when they give a rating for every ICOs - actually they should have carefully at this working - because have someone can make a fraudulent here.
