About Fortknoxster
FortKnoxster is a cyber-security company that specializes in developing secure and encrypted communication solutions. The company has developed a unique encryption platform aimed primarily at the B2C market, delivered in an EaaS (Encryption-as-a-Service) model. FortKnoxster has been designed with unique and novel architecture and features, which aim to encompass all the communications and data-storage needs of platform users, including Inbox, Distributed File Storage, Chat, Calling, Group Calling/Conferencing, Screen Sharing, Voice Messages, and an Intuitive Dashboard. FortKnoxster aims to address the need to protect communications and data from cyber-criminals — and at the same time maintain a very high level of privacy.
Competitors: Skype, Slack, Telegram, Dropbox, Facetime, Gmail, Kik
Uniqueness/Advantages to competition: Combines many legacy digital communication platforms into one and aims to provide encryption protection via blockchain
Product
Andriod and IOS apps are available and functional, and a demo platform is available for trial download on the Fortknoxster website. The FortKnoxster platform is scheduled to be further developed and launched in various parts of the world in the coming years (see Roadmap).
There is appeal to the FortKnoxster product, given the tremendous number of users throughout the world of communications technology in all its forms, for which FortKnoxster aims to provide. The potential / target user-base is very large, as much of the global population uses digital communication in some form. There is large legacy competition and competition over time will greatly stiffen as blockchain technology adoption continues, given the size of the target audience.
Competitors: Skype, Slack, Telegram, Dropbox, Facetime, Gmail, Kik
Use of Blockchain
The project offers some contribution to blockchain development as it has developed its own app for all types of digital communication and aims to be a one-stop shop for encryption as a service for communication products. There is a disruptive advantage as, in theory, it would enable further decentralization of centralized applications such as Skype, Slack, Telegram, Dropbox, Facetime, Gmail, etc., allowing users to take control of and protect their communications and data. Pontentially disruptive since such applications are currently completely centralized. There is need for a custom token as the platform is an independent dapp, however in theory ETH alone could accomplish this as well.
Whitepaper
The whitepaper is very well put together, professional and aesthetic, and provides a good mixture of media and textual explanation. The whitepaper is somewhat long at 49-pages, but can be read very quickly due to the amount of presented media. The whitepaper sections include: an Executive Summary, Introduction, the challenge, the mission statement, the technology, the ICO, the Roadmap and the team. The business plan and technology behind Fortknoxster are thoroughly and concisely explained in detail.
Roadmap
A very basic roadmap is given on a quarter-to-quarter basis, starting with being ‘Edward Snowden Revelations’. Critical obstacles lie ahead with blockchain testing for the platform planned only for Q2 2019, and a public launch not until Q3 2018. The roadmap is vague and brief descriptions are provided for what the intermediary steps required to completely each milestone.
Important Milestones:
Q2 2016 — Private Beta
Q4 2016 — Live Users
Q2 2017 — Code Rewrite
Q3 2017 — Public Token Sale Planning
