StreamSpace (SSH) ICO Analysis: A Decentralized Blockchain-based Storage and Streaming Service
Executive Summary
Project Description
StreamSpace aims to create a distribution network and a marketplace where consumers can access films that are otherwise unavailable on traditional distribution channels. Furthermore, StreamSpace will provide movie makers with a crowdsourcing service that will connect them with individuals that can contribute directly to the their movie-making efforts, cutting out the usual intermediaries.
Additionally, StreamSpace will provide other valuable services and opportunities to filmmakers and their consumers. For example, the filmmakers will benefit from a decentralized storage system that will help them manage and distribute content more efficiently. This system will also help reduce piracy to the barest minimum and, subsequently, allow content creators set desired prices for their products. As for the consumers, they will have the opportunity of receiving unique content, content created by individuals and not the usual large corporations. Consumers will also be able to give recommendations directly to the Directors.
The StreamSpace network will have 2 different tokens, SSH and SPC. SSH will be used for transactions, and it will serve as the alternative to fiat on the StreamSpace Blockchain. The SPC token, on the other hand, will be earned by providing storage capacity for rent (mining) on the platform. SPC earned on the platform can be swapped for SSH and exchanged for fiat.
Hard Cap and Valuation
There will be a total of 1 billion SSH tokens from which 40% are made available for private and public sales. As shown below, SSH price varies on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, StreamSpace’s hard cap depends on how much of the available supply (400 million SSH) they are able to sell before the deadline.
The company did not outline which portion of the remaining 60% goes to the team, however, the amount is earmarked for running the marketplace and covering expenses incurred from maintaining the content library. It is distributed thus: 20% of the 600 million is allocated for General and Administrative expenses, another 20% goes to marketing, and the final 60% is for Research and Development.
Price Per Token
Price per token is dependent on the day of the ICO an investors purchases the tokens. To elucidate: the starting price is $0.10 per SSH and this value increases by $0.01 every day. As at when this post was published, 1 SSH token costs $0.23. The token will reach its maximum value of $0.52 on the 27th of February 2018.
