Crowdmind - Empowering The Wisdom of Crowds

This is our first thread, and we have the pleasure to announce great news - The Crowdmind project has officially started. The story behind it is very turbulent and interesting. But before we go to the details, here are some important facts about us:

This project involves many people, but it will be officially represented by two Steemians that some of you probably know.

@hidden84 - Active crowdsourcing researcher, director of project development in Headmade agency specialized for market communications. Besides working on projects for different clients and industries, he is finishing his Ph.D. thesis about crowdsourcing and blockchain application in urban planning participatory processes. His primary role is defining the project strategy and all tactical steps that will help us to achieve the projected goals.

@svemirac - Astrophysicist with a keen eye for community needs (not only stars). He is the person behind our official witness - crowdwitness, and he also plays important role in all other activities. He did a great job in describing our motivation in his witness thread:

We are on Steemit since the end of 2017. Up to this point, we have been actively engaging in numerous projects and communities, which gave us an insight into the key potential of this platform. It is something that Steemit has recognized and plans to do with Hivemind, basically, our goal is to support all projects and authors who will empower the wisdom of the crowd.

But this is only top of the iceberg. We strongly believe that Steemit has incredible potential to connect the offline and online space. In our whitepaper, we stated something that could look obvious, but we believe it is very important to always have it on mind:

Today, it's very difficult to determine the boundary between the online and offline space. We can say that online space is a natural extension of our living environment, while any decision in offline regime can get its online reflection and vice versa.

And imagine what Steem can do about this.

With Steem based platforms, what we earlier knew as tools available to the crowd, now becomes the natural ability of the crowd, unrestricted by rules of the middleman. However, participation itself cannot be a guarantee of value creation. This is precisely why the crowdsourcing activities must be encouraged and supported by helping the users to liberate full potentials and reach not only individual results, but also the results which will benefit their organizations, communities, and even society as a whole.

If this sounds OK to you, then please check our Whitepaper. We have great plans but we are still in the starting position - so your support will mean a lot. You can do it in many ways:

• Follow our voting trail on Steemauto (@crowdmind)
• Vote for our witness (@crowdwitness) by clicking here
• Delegate your SP to our project - and trust us, every amount matters. You can find delegation links in the end of this post.
• Follow, comment, resteem - let us know if we are going in the right direction.

Off course, you can also check our website www.crowdmind.io or join us on our brand new Discord channel

Thank you for reading this! We hope that we will have a great time together and successfully show the world what the crowd wisdom is capable of.
