What makes your smartphone, tablet so addictive?
It's not about the phone itself, it's because of those apps on your phone. Without apps smartphone is just for phone call and sending sms and there will be no need for hardware upgrade such as more Ram, more CPU speed, a bigger screen size and an extra battery. How many times do you want to do something on your phone like drawing, scanning QR code, transfering offline files from device to device or hiding photos from your wife? There will always be an app for that! What if Apple introduces Ipad with pencil and no drawing or writing app on Ipad to utilize the use of pencil, the pencil itself would have no use at all.
Apps are now becoming an essential ingredient for smartphones/tablets to be successful. However, the challenge is that in order to create a good and useful app will require an experienced developer team, a strong foundation with top or near top world class PC to execute the tasks, which will cost more time and budget. How do we a small developer company can create app with the least budget and time so that our users can be beneficial?
Crowd Machine has an answer for that by creating a network of Crowd Computer, Crowd App and Crowd Share on a decentralized platform. Crowd Machine is similar and in between Github and Appstore. Crowd Machine is entering software market with a market value of 329b and blockchain technology with an estimated value of 175b by 2025 according to a research from Garner¹.

So what is Crowd Machine?
A Crowd Machine is a Crowd Computer that executes global decentralized app. Crowd Computer is a peer to peer network like nodes and device owners (Smartphone, Tablet, Personal PC, Laptop, Server) will get paid for their cost to run the virtual node, this will be called Crowd Virtual Machines. It will allow developers to build apps at a cheaper rate and everyone can take part and earn on the platform. Crowd Machine is aiming to replace the services of AWS and Azure.

Crowd App studio allows users and developers to create their own app seamlessly by dragging and dropping. No code is required, hence this will reduce time in making apps. It also grants users with less experience in coding to make their ideas come to life.
Crowd Share will allow developers to share their working code on the network and everytime their code block being used or a completed app being executed, they will earn money. For example:
a) A developer with a strong background on creating game app but is lacking knowledge of creating code for a camera app and he/she needs someone to help him/her with a Camera function code, he/she now can go to Crowd Share and buy a code block from other developers who are experts in this field. Thus, it will be faster and cheaper to develop an app, than to recruit or to hire someone else to do it. It's also lower the risk of hiring the wrong person because you will know that it's a working code before buying it, you can review it before purchasing. Crowd Share is similar and in between Github and Appstore.

A consumer who makes a purchase on Crowd Share will be billed in Crowd Machine Compute Tokens (CMCTs), which then can be exchanged back to Fiat for the creator.
Unique point of Crowd Machine
One of the unique points about Crowd Machine is that it utilizes on a decentralized platform. It takes the advantage of global nodes and combines with peer to peer network. This approach is to replace the costly and less effective Cloud networks that are currently exist on the market such as Google Cloud, AWS, Azure. You can see a comparison between the current Cloud network infrastructures vs the Crowd Machine infrastructure in Diagram A and Diagram B shown below.
Diagram A
The diagram below is demonstrating how Crowd Computer will work in real life scenario. Every node is connected together in grid and the nodes handle transactions will get paid for their work. This could enhance integrity of the internet with the aid of incenting its proliferation.
Diagram B
The company and team.
Crowd Machine was established in 2017, however the Crowd Machine technology has been developing for many years. Craig Sproule is a founder, a CEO of Crowd Machine and Metavinehe has great knowledge with substantial experience in creating and maintaining corporate applications. There are 27 employees working under Crowd Machine and still growing.
Crowd Machine Roadmap
How do I invest into Crowd Machine?
If you are interested in the project and believing in its future and considering to invest in its project. There are a few different ways to get involved:
- You can write code and share on Crowd Share and earn for your work.
- You can become part of its network grid by delegating part of your Computing Power to handle transactions.
- Last but not least you can buy some CMCT tokens and get 50% bonus and become its stakeholder. You can purchase CMCT token on Crowd Machine website. Crowd Machine is partnered with Polymath to issue security tokens on Polymath platform.
