What is is it?
Sense is WhatsApp on the blockchain. It consists of
- Instant Messaging
- Video Chat
Why is it better than WhatsApp
- It’s peer to peer and encrypted - that means people can’t hitch a ride and listen in. Even the authorities can’t. Basically it is back to the old days of when Skype wasn’t owned by Microsoft and we could all chat in totally privacy ......only this time there is no company to buy or bully.
- The video chat is encrypted and peer to peer.
- Instead of giving away your data to Snapchat/Facebook for them to sell you can choose to either be private or sell a piece of your soul.
- Smart contacts - Is an address book in which you can decide whether the person knows who you actually are or not. You can customize your levels of privacy.
- The aspects of your identity that you do share you will get paid for - You can monetize yourself if you really want to.
- You can program bots to answer common questions if people ask them - eg. someone asks what is blockchain and your bot jumps in. I like that :D
- You can mine data and get paid for it. That one feels a bit uncomfortable to me.
- You can mine your own data by linking your posts on Steemit etc in order to answer questions and get paid for it.
About the Sense Token
- Currently the token is on Ethereum but it is in the process of moving to EOS. The website has already done a complete shift.
- There is currently a token swap being undertaken.
- There is no airdrop to EOS holders
- The current rank is 1157 with a market cap of $1.7 million
- Today it is $0.007058 up 24%
- It can be bought on IDEX and Bancor - However once you buy it you would need to go through the token swap procedure. Once it swaps there would be no option to trade this Sense X token (X being EOS) as there are no exchanges taking it and won’t be until the Bancor X exchange is online.
Is There an App I can Download and Use?
No but you can sign up for the beta.
Who made it?
The people behind sheOS the EOS Blockchain producer. Here is a video which is an introduction to the platform. . The beginning of the presentation is full of fluff, distracting and face-palming at times but there is substance buried in there.
Anything else?
If you have Sensay (Sighhhh ...Sensei) tokens you can swap them up for Sense
You’ve Got Quite a Sarcastic Tone in This Article What Gives?
I’m very precious about my privacy. I think we should be given a choice whether we monetize ourselves ....especially as we don’t understand, as yet, how that data could be used. For every utopian use there is a dystopian one.
