Gather

Project advantages:
End-users will be rewarded in GTH for sharing their mining power.
There is an MVP of the product (access can be provided after a registration in early adopters program).
For mining will be available Monero and other cryptocurrencies.
Payouts for webmasters can be received in fiat currencies, BTC and GTH.
In the future team has plans to integrate Paywall Program, that will allow webmasters to collect payments in GTH in lieu website mining.
With very high site/app traffic and good market conditions product can be a good alternative/addition for ad marketing.
End-users have the option to choose if they want to participate (competitors already implemented such function).
Webmasters can specify the limit of computing power, that end-users can share (competitors already implemented such function).
15% commission (while Coinhive is charging 30%).
Implementation of GPU mining will allow to increase an income in a number of hashes per second up to 80-100 (while competitors only use CPU).
End-user’s mining progress will continue, when he will get back to the site.
According to the provided result of the stress-test, under a 100% usage of Gath3r all devices won’t experience big heat increase and will be slow down just a little bit.

Team has provided a sheet with calculation of revenue of use of Gath3r mining Monero at 75 H/s (25 CPU, 50 GPU - with comments on tech specs and hashrate) and taking price $ 175 with explanation of numbers (one and two). Plus, they have provided calculations for CPU+GPU mining.
The project has partnered with the software development company Beemster and some employees of that company (developers with many years of software development experience) are working as the part of the Gath3r team;
Technical Advisor has large experience in software development;
Concept of the project looks promising;
Team has provided result of the audit of smart contracts by third-party.
Code development is active (yet it’s repositories are not public).
Weaknesses:
There is no confirmation of claimed investments from large investors in the open sources;
It would be better if allocation for Team will be separated from Advisors with a specified exact percentage for each one.
The project has not published code on the GitHub, since the technology proprietary and they do not want to make their code public (yet team has provided screenshots of the activity on the code development).
The roadmap doesn’t provide deep technical details on the platform development and it’s not clear how development will be performed after Q2 2019. Roadmap looks not final.
To raise large revenue with mining site / app already should has high network traffic / large audience. And if site / app will has such metrics, it rather will use ads, because revenue will be bigger.
Bonuses for the Private Sale is too high.
The Soft cap is more than 8 times smaller than the Hard cap.
Blockchain doesn’t guarantee, that the performance of the marketing campaign is not fake (numbers can still be cheated by bots, etc.) – it only shows information in a transparent way.
David is an adviser for more than 50 projects at a time. There is a problem with the focus and quality of activities.
Social activity of the project is low.
Although project has not many competitors, financial indicators of them are very low.
System is currently centralized.
