About Transcodium
Transcodium aims to provide the first peer-to-peer decentralized file editing, transcoding and distribution platform with high quality and reliable computational power at a very affordable price. This will create a global market for users, willing to rent their idle machines to be used as workers. Further, at the end of the processing, the worker (processor) will be rewarded with the TNS Tokens.
Problems with Cloud Transcoding
- Time Consuming due to the limited resources.
- Very Expensive thereby scaring away startups & low budget firms.
- Unreliable, Server outage can cancels the whole process
Transcodium started as medianap in 2015 with a visual cloud transcoding and media editing platform, but we went out of business due to the high cost of cloud servers, we could not compete with the existing platforms and had to switch to another business, In 2016, our team decided to look into the project again but this time using the blockchain and decentralization technology. Unlike the previous platform, Transcodium's network will be fully autonomous without human intervention.

Many ICOs are internet plays in disguise. This one actually passes the blockchain use test and is a feasible dApp. However the success of the project will depend on the team and I use strict standards to grade ICOs based on having members on the team that come from reputable highly regarded international companies where they played key roles. None of the key members on the team meet that criteria.

It really isn't clear to me why this needs to be on the blockchain and the argument of 1/3 comparable pricing only applies if workers sign up to do processing. Shouldn't there actually be a competitive market optimizing time to process and price?
I'm also not seeing team members who are going to help market, get partners using it, or get it integrated into other products as a rendering service.
As with other transcoding and data processing services there are issues around privacy - a remote machine can't do transcoding without access to raw unencrypted data.
There is some code on Github but it is mostly contracts and a wallet app.

1. Question: It really isn't clear to me why this needs to be on the blockchain and the argument of 1/3 comparable pricing only applies if workers sign up to do processing. Shouldn't there actually be a competitive market optimizing time to process and price?
Answer: Transcoding a perfect use case for the blockchain, workers dont need to signup, what we provided at https://proto.transcodium.com is a prototype from our old cloud version which we are going rebuild as a DApp. After the final product is ready, minners or workers need to only install our wallet app which includes a minner and a visual editing studio.
For the pricing we provide a range of price for workers to choose from, the price can be overriden to set your own custom price. We did provide a price range because unlike traditional blockchain minning, transcodium does not have a difficulty hash rate, so if you earn $100 a day , with the same processing power, you will always earn the same.
2.Question: I'm also not seeing team members who are going to help market, get partners using it, or get it integrated into other products as a rendering service.
Answer: The same team member you are not seeing built a cloud version of a transcoding platform in 2015 when even amazon and google transcoding platform were not built or at infant level. The team members are competing with giant companies, same team members are the first to think about the innovation of migrating the cloud transcoding to the blockchain, and the same team member has been able to push far publicly to this level for your awesome rating and comment.One thing for sure, we don't give up, only a dead person is hopeless and useless.
The main reason for the ICO is to hire more expert into the team to help build, intergrate and market our product.
3. Question: As with other transcoding and data processing services there are issues around privacy - a remote machine can't do transcoding without access to raw unencrypted data.
Answer: Very true, but if you have worked with media processing tools such as ffmpeg and avconv, you will know that a media file can be splitted and joined. with this idea, no worker file will have access to a full file, a file will be splitted into very little chunks example: 3 seconds pieces and will be distributed to the workers. This idea works because google youtube uses same ideology for quick transcoding.
Apart this helping privacy, it will also enable a speedy transfer of files from the masternodes to the workers, due to the small nature of the chunks, even smart phone will be able to process them in a very short period of time.
4. Question: There is some code on Github but it is mostly contracts and a wallet app.
Answer: It is true, the main purpose of the ICO is to hire more developers and expand the company, so we have no reason to stay idle, that is why we have started development as soon as possible. The main master nodes and the worker apps will be built very soon.

Trandcodium. What can I say. Not a unique concept at all. Post ICO and they have done terribly. They ban people from their telegram group for asking simple questions like, 'What was the ICO price'. This may be a legitimate scam. Only time will tell.

It looks like a general ICO with similarities of other project that you can use others capacity to earn their TOKEN by renting your power for video processing or any other type of processing of that kind.
The team looks great, the vision and product, in my personal opinion is that they have to market it very well to really stand-off from other similar projects.

Brilliant idea for Blockchain application.
Team lacks experience and depth. I will watch this ICO closely.
