Today robocalling-based polls have tons of bias because people ignore the calls. Blockchain-based mobile app polling is definitely the future.

Thank you for the feedback! For more information you should join our telegram.

We are performing a targeted beta launch in June in a specific geographic area, then rolling out publicly in the mid-Summer before the American Midterm Elections.

The answer to your question? Absolutely. Look back at any recent election and you'll see some pretty astonishing things. Traditional polls are subject to a disturbing amount of bias and inaccuracy. So why pay substantially more for flawed services when politicians and companies can turn to us instead? Politicians need 'polling/survey' services because they use it to structure their campaigns, companies need them because they use it for market research (to improve their products and services). We're already working on several big partnerships that we will be announcing in the future.

I hope this has answered your question! Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Thank you! The hardcap for our ICO is 8.5 million USD.

Exactly right. We are targeting corporations who want to gather data- we are much cheaper than things such as phone surveying. For example: a mobile phone company may ask clients "Which is more important to you with mobile service: More data at a slower speed, Less data at a faster speed" which they can use to develop pricing models.

One use case is with Artificial Intelligence. As AI learns how "humans" think and perceive certain things, they can use our coin to automatically ask a large amount of humans questions, and quantify their results. This allows AI systems to quickly gain a "human insight" at a very low cost.

Thank you for your question. OpenPoll is leveraging new technologies such as blockchain and cryptocurrency. Rather than processing polls by a single organization, polls and surveys are completely decentralized and verifiable. We even show the source of the polls taken so the end user can verify it themselves. The OpenPoll platform offers more than just anonymity with our industry leading prices, data encryption, and much more. If you are interested about our platform, please look into our 35 page whitepaper that can answer most questions about our mission: http://openpoll.io/whitepaper/latest/

We fully agree and think that this is one of the aspects that makes our project truly unique. The platform we are building would not be possible without blockchain technology, and the market is perfectly positioned for a platform like this to be viable.

Our mining application will be available for public use starting May 31st, at the time of our first production release.

Thank you for the question, we appreciate when people perform due diligence as it helps better the community as a whole. 50% of tokens are being sold initially during the ICO- these funds are used to build the initial platform and do not go to our team members directly, but in the form of reasonable compensation (i.e. no one is being paid over $100k USD, regardless of how much we sell). The $8.5MM sold in our ICO is used to pay for initial platform development, early stage marketing, legal affairs, political outreach, and other large costs associated with getting the platform deployed to lay individuals. Obviously, $8.5MM is not sufficient to market internationally or scale the platform and perform continuous platform updates. The 35% of tokens being retained will be used primarily to perform long-term ongoing operations, compensate advisors, etc. The 50% being sold for $8.5MM will not be used to compensate advisors, rather 'get the platform up and going, fully developed, tested, and marketed.' Additionally, core team members will receive a small percentage of the 35% kept (we estimate all together, all founders, team members, and advisors will receive roughly 8% and the remaining 27% will be used for ongoing operations, the bounty program, etc). Please remember that of the 50% we will have no tokens as we are exchanging POL for ETH/BTC to pay for direct costs associated with launching the platform. I hope this helps to clarify, we are free to provide more information if you would like.

On a side note, as you are registered on a few survey sites you may understand how it is appealing to people to perform polls / surveys for money. By adding a mobile app, and doing it anonymously and decentralized over blockchain technology, we provide a unique value proposition that we can use to target all individuals without them requiring any technical knowledge.

Thank you for the comment on our white paper, we built it 100% ourselves and spent lots of time thoroughly vetting the project and explaining in detail. We did not add any 'fluff' or things we could not deliver on.

Yes absolutely! Money that traditionally is taken as profit by companies conducting polling and consumer research is given directly to miners and network operators. We can be much more cost effective than current market players, and provide miners a significant amount of money by going direct-to-consumer and cutting out the middleman. Money that politicians, corporations, etc spend is spent on paying respondents, and paying network operators (A/K/A miners). We currently pay miners 30% of all funds on the network to ensure we have a reliable blockchain, as well as provide significant motivation for people to mine our platform. We have a working shard miner that uses CPU based PoW, and are in the process of finalizing GPU acceleration. We are evaluating if we should use CryptoNight for our PoW algorithm to restrict GPU usage, but do not believe we will pursue that route.

We are translating the white paper into other languages at the moment and should have peer reviewed and published translations in roughly 1 week.

There is absolutely no registration fee for respondents, the cost given in that image is the sample cost of creating a poll on the network. When a poll is conducted, respondents are paid in POL tokens. In a small 100 person sample, it would cost roughly $25 total (which includes paying each respondent in tokens). If you have your own respondents, you can use the platform for free, but they will not be paid. As for the token distribution, we will not give 70-80% of tokens reserved to the team. Future development is a huge, unavoidable cost; we cannot rely on open source contributions early on. We are only selling $8.5MM worth of tokens during our ICO, which is sufficient to develop an initial release as well as gain traction, but not for a full fledged national marketing campaign and development of enhanced features. If you would like additional information, our team is happy to answer.

Agreed. We are looking forward to hard critiques on our product and platform. Honest opinions offer far more to us than bounty based marketing.

A detailed explanation of the project is available here: http://openpoll.io/whitepaper/latest/

Our bounty campaign will be announced in the coming days. Thank you for commenting.

We should have our bounty up sometime next week.

Of course. 30% of all funds on the OpenPoll network go to miners. Our mining application is not ready for distribution (still pre-alpha), but you can check it out on our git.
