About Hicky (PreICO)
Dating and social interactions are a major case for blockchain! So basically all relationships, may it be friends/business or romantic, haven an underlying currency. And that is trust.Because current platforms dont support this value, they have one big issue, and that is the ratio from man to woman (always more men then women). Some platforms tried to favour women and their interest to solve this, but never really were able to solve this. Blockchain gives es not only the power to create an app that will be attractive to women, but also to built a dating app with longterm view ( the more companies/governments etc will use blockchain) We solve the ratio issue by addressing the current issues that all dating platforms have. We created an app infrastructure that focuses on the interests of female users. These are for example verified users, a safe dating experience (for example date deposits etc) through a consensus mechanism that kicks out people who behave in a bad matter.
Features
You can find every useful feature in our Whitepaper. One example is our Decentralized Autonomous Dating (DAD) Network which runs on an incentivization model that works within the new paradigm of decentralized crypto economics. Positive behavior is economically incentivized while community building is encouraged through the stakeholder (decentral) governance model. The Picky token, like money in the real world, forms the backbone of this network. It must be emphasized that the DAD is fundamentally a democratic, human driven entity.
We also wrote an article about the "Top Five Problems with Dating Platforms and How Picky Solves Them"

Hicky (PreICO) Roadmap
-
The Picky Vision is Founded (2017 Q1)
-
Realizing that the problems associated with online dating stem from lack of authenticity, lack of security, and misaligned incentives between platform users and owners, the core team members come together to discuss a solution. The utility of blockchain applications rapidly becomes apparent as an increasingly wide variety of Ethereum-based projects are being proposed around the world. A blockchain based dating platform emerges as the solution to the frankly dangerous state of online dating. The foundation of Picky becomes a reality and the core team gets ready to disrupt the status quo.
-
Phase 1
-
Start of our CompanyFoundation of Picky - First thoughts about crating a fair dating app based on blockchain technology.

2017 Q1 - Founding of Hicky
-
The main problems in online dating stem from a general misalignment of incentives between platform owners and users, leading to a lack of authenticity in the user base as well as the lack of security and privacy inherent to centralised systems. With backgrounds in blockchain and online dating, the four core members decide to spec out a solution based on the architectural possibilities of the Ethereum blockchain. Hicky is born.
-
Team Building (2017 Q2)
-
Seven blockchain enthusiasts come together. They are differentiated by their diversified experience in wide ranging industries. Combining 15 years of online dating experience (Marketing / Lead Generation / Product Development) with 8 years of blockchain industry insights and business development, the necessary ingredients to Picky a success come together. First goal: Build an MVP to collect feedback from early adopters.
