ICO: RntX - How We Plan to Revolutionize the Rental Industry through a Decentralized Rental Network
RntX is a decentralized rental network utilizing blockchain technology. Visit RntX.io for details on our upcoming ICO and access to our whitepaper. Our first episode is with the COO and Chief Architect of the RntX whitepaper, Neil. (She goes by one name, like Beyonce or Madonna.) Neil takes us through the ideation of RntX and talks through the core protocols that will revolutionize the rental industry and change the way people rent apartments. The three core functions of RntX are... 1) RenterID - Facilitates a global rental identity 2) RenterIQ - A store of renter behavior 3) RenterScore - A metric of renter trustworthiness RntX is powered by the RentHoop team. RentHoop is a mobile app for finding roommates and rooms, available on both iOS and Android phones, that Forbes just named as "One of the Most Promising Housing Apps to Watch in 2018."

It started at 12 years old, selling candy and soda out of his backpack in junior high school. Fast-forward 12 years and he woke up only to see his face on the front page of NBCNews.com for the innovative platform he invented called RentHoop which many people describe as "Tinder for Finding Roommates." RentHoop has thousands of users and has connected many happy roommates. Even with growing this app without any marketing budget, Paul Burke has managed to solve what he would call one of the biggest problems facing his generation.
