Hi

Like many of you, I also don’t have much spare time (say hello to the family life!). And also as many of you, I like to invest in cryptocurrencies, buy tokens/coins, search for new ones, read about upcoming ICO’s.

Now, when everything is going down (which is a great opportunity, to buy more :) we have finally time to think about something different than prices. Now we have a space to think and read whitepapers, research teams, check those project’s social media, check their updates on their medium profiles and subreddits.

For the last 8 months I was doing huge research every day to find tokens which I wanted to buy. I was spending a lot of time trying to put all my investments in one place where I could see all of them together. I checked different pages: coinmarketcap for prices, etherscan to check my transactions, cointracking to put all of together in one sheet, and google sheet as an investor diary to write why did I buy it. Plus checking those projects everyday, checking updates uff. It’s a full-time job. And I already have one.

The tool I was working on with a great Warsaw-based team is Trivial.co. We are building a tool strictly for investors, not really for traders (it will be almost chartless). Our goal is to build something which people can explore with a pleasure of not checking 10 webpages for next 100 links at once: where you will have all necessary links in one place, where you can read about tokens like you read about different terms at Wikipedia — from one word/name/token/project to another. We wanted to build a tool, where all the features will help you answer one simple question:

DO I WANT TO BUY THIS TOKEN/COIN?

DO I WANT TO INVEST MY MONEY IN IT?

DO I WANT TO SEND ETH TO PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES A TEAM?

Yes, I know it is more than one question :)

What can be done with our tool?

a) All in one place

A few days ago I was asking different users how many accounts do they have — I thought that people would have 3–4 accounts, but they don’t — usually users have 10+ accounts! I was surprised, that’s a lot. This made us think that the feature where you can put all your addresses to have a preview of your tokens is crucial. So we decided to put a feature where people can rename their accounts and set as “my accounts”. From our experience as crypto-investors, we know how careful users, and we are, especially about the data. So, OF COURSE, FYI: all those data (every data including names of the accounts — e v e r y) are kept by yourself in the local storage of your browser. We don’t collect any fragile data — uff, no way. We also choose a way where our users won’t have to set an account, no need of that. You don’t have to set an account in bakery to check their shop exposition with all amazing glazed donuts, don’t you? Exactly.

https://www.trivial.co :

b) The Top Holders of a particular token: check how many people own this token and what more do they have

You can check that on a token called POE: po.et:

You can see that POE is owned by approximately 23171 addresses and that ten biggest top holders own 79,54 %. You can click on any top holder and see what other tokens does this owner has. Which was useful information for me, because I like to check what other people have especially those people I observe and trust and respect (or just my friends :). I have few of such addresses/people, and I added them as MY FAVOURITES on trivial.co, and now I don’t have to write those addresses every time I want to check what’s new.

c) My favourites: tokens & accounts

There are also projects which you can add to your favourites, not only accounts. What for? There are projects that I don’t want to forget and now I don’t have time to research them or tokens which I don’t want to buy now until the I won’t see how the next update will be made and so on.

You can add tokens or accounts on every token profile and any account profile — with a button “add as favourite”.

d) Some of the top holders are exchanges.

Yes, we know that :) we’re trying to update a list of different exchange addresses everyday — some of them are already renamed as for example Binance or EtherDelta. So sometimes checking a list of top holders you will see the name of the exchange. We didn’t want to copy a list of exchanges addreses from etherscan or any other platform — we are looking for it by ourselves doing a regular research and by writing to the exchanges and so on. We need to be 100% sure that the address of the exchange is correct, so we want to do that by our own.

How can you use it?

TOKENS:

https://www.trivial.co/t/0x…— where 0x… is a smart contract address

For example ENIGMA, ENG token: https://www.trivial.co/t/0xf0ee6b27b759c9893ce4f094b49ad28fd15a23e4

ACCOUNTS:

https://www.trivial.co/profile/0x… — where 0x… is any account number

Any feedback/comments will be helpful. As you can see above — some of the features were created, because people on reddit told us about their habits and needs — this is how we want to build our tool: by listening to the community. Probably — it’s the only good way of running a startup :)

Take care!
