Hi Piotr! It is exactly projects like this that make me excited about crypto. Thank you for sharing it with the steemit community! I surely will have to find some time to dig deeper and see how big the potential is, but it sounds promising.
It reminds me a lot to what Ark (I mentioned to you this crypto recently) aims to achieve as well - creating your own apps with just a few clicks! Actually, this was one of the main reasons I decided to buy Ark coins. Apart from creating her own platform, Ark aims to create smart bridges with the other existing platforms (Neo, Ethereum, etc) and on top of that to enable non-programmers to create their own apps. In my opinion if Ark succeeds, it will be beneficiary to the whole crypto in general and it will propel it to new highs, possibly also mass adoption (if what I read was correct, so far the crypto world attracts mostly speculators and innovators - still a very small part of the population). Crowd machine might be a competitor of Ark and I find it a good thing - it is competition what makes you work harder and motivated to outperform the rest (not that the Ark team does not work hard enough although the price does not reflect it, in my opinion). Anyway, thank you for bringing me the attention to this ICO, I will do some more research. Cheers!

hi @humblestudent
I agree that this project looks promissing and it's worth paying attention to it. Not only as a investor.
Would you mind telling me more about ARK? You said that you mentioned it lately but I probably missed your post as I cannot recall anyone talking about this crypto. It seem that Ark is very little known and indeed price doesnt reflect it's mentioned potential. Any idea why price of this particular crypto has never been skyrocketing?
I agree that competition is helthy and can only benefit everyone. That's just the way it is, isnt it?
ps.
I just checked your profile and I realized that you resteemed my post. THANK you. Thats very kind of you.
Would you mind telling me why you're not building your own blog? Only reposting. It's hard pay back your kindness to upvote/resteem your posts if I cannot find anything written by you.
Hi again, Piotr! I resteemed your post simply because I find it valuable and worth the read - there is no need to do anything for me (you know I charge one ethereum for resteeming, right? Just kidding :)
So far I am a steemit member mostly to follow other people and update myself with TA and fundamental about crypto..probably at some point I will be more active with my blog.
Concerning Ark, I think I more or less summarized the gist of the project - it is a platform similar to Lisk (in fact the wallets, for example look surprisingly similar). However, Ark supporters claim that the delegating system with Lisk is flawed, whilst the one of Ark is way fairer (I do not know whether this is true as I haven't researched Lisk enough). Basically you vote for a delegate and receive a passive income of Ark based on how many arks you've got.
The project is still in its infancy, but is quite ambitious. It is based in France and in my opinion it is one of the most crypto-friendly countries in the world, so this is a positive thing. There are also some rumours that Ark might cooperate with the French government as Ark is involved with France's legal framework for ICO's.
Ark has been working on V2 - an update which will increase security and speed (even now the transaction speed is just a few seconds). Then there is ArkVM - the platform where the applications will be built with just a few clicks - one does not need to know programming languages in order to launch his/her own app.
For free!
Then Ark will be convertible to major currencies such as the euro and the dollar. And when Ark creates the so called smart bridges, one will be able to purchase directly other crypto (for example Ethereum, or Neo) via the Ark smart bridge. Plus one will be able to use the Ethereum blockchain through the Ark platform! In this way Ark is the intermediate between the other platforms.
The team is also great in my opinion - it has been growing constantly and adding professional developers. There was a lack of marketing (which might be one of the reasons why the price didn't grow as much as many other coins) but Ark fixed this issue by hiring a very professional marketing manager. I personally suspect that Ark didn't pay for marketing because they still had no working product, but as this is changing now (the first ICO will launch on the Ark platform soon), they will do lots of marketing now - Ark will be among the main players in Consensus 2018 (just google it, in case you still haven't heard of it). I think that this will be the place where many businesses will hear about this quite promising project and things might change for the better for Ark.
To sum up, Ark might be a long-term investment, not a speculative coin and growth might be slower compared to other coins. However, the project grows steadily and the team and the community behind it are two great assets which in the long run might prove to be the right path. I personally believe that 2018 will be great for Ark with lots of exciting developments!
I hope that helps a bit - it is more or less the base of Ark. Have a good day!
I've honestly learned a lot more about ark than what I knew prior to this. Thank you for such an insightful comment!
You are welcome. Glad I could help you learn more about Ark. Cheers!
Thank you again for your kind words. I believe in common saying "what goes around comes around".
So it's not that I feel like I have to do anything to show my appreciation. I simply WANT to do it :)
And BIG Thanks for all effort that you put to educate me about Ark. Amazing stuff!
ps.
Didnt you consider setting up some profile picture on steemit and powering up a little bit?
I know I asked you before about dropping me a message at my email: promib.pl@gmail.com
Would you mind doing it? I would really love to stay in touch closer with valuable, like-minded people, sharing similar passions. And you're definetly one of those people :)
Is France really so crypto friendly? I didnt know about it. Interesting....
I've found very fresh public interview with Crowd Machine CEO. Perhaps you will find this video usefull:
Thanks a lot for your video, Piotr! Will watch it as soon as I can.
P.s. Sorry for my late reply, but these last few days were quite busy here.
Are you planning to join @originalworks this weekend and write about FarmaTrust ?
I made my first contest ever. Would you mind checking it out and sharing your feedback? And perhaps also commenting as Im interested what is your view on discussed issue:

I would really appreciate if you could share some of your experience with me :)
Cheers, Piotr
Thank you for inviting me to the contest, my friend! I just skimmed through it and will read more about it tomorrow when I have more time. Just for the sake of discussing interesting stuff with part of the crypto community. Cheers!
Absolutely :)
oh jezzz.
I just realized my silly mistake. In my previous post I didnt include the code that would justify text. Silly me.
Here is short article I've found that explain how to do it:

Oh and I also wanted to thank you for your comment in my latest contest. I appreciate your time and support. Cheers! :)
Yours,
