Great Cynos, thank you for kind words! Indeed, the Photochain Use Case is simple and straight to understand. We will work hard to make the first version from our demo DApp. But this is still a way to go. And we definitely needs support of the community.

Sure, we have a development plan, a roadmap and use of proceeds table in the Whitepaper and also on the landing page.
Thanks for the info - we will update this thread with the roadmap.

Thank you Maryanti! Please look on our site. We are still developing a bounty program and looking for good managers in this directions. Please feel free to join our telegram group.

Photochain is the next generation of photostocks

Using blockchain technology, the Photochain DApp returns the control and the trust of the photography marketplace to the content producer.
Traditional photostocks are often associated with limitations and high fees for the photographer - these businesses can end up taking 90% of the works’ earnings.
With Photochain, the lack of need for an intermediary means the seller sets their own terms of sale, and can take home 95% of the revenue generated from sales.
The other 5% goes into a community pot, which is used for rewarding moderators and upkeep of the network.



Characteristics of Photochain DApp

• Security
  
  • The benefit of blockchain technology means transactions are fully secure and verifiable at all times for both the photographer and the buyer
• Decentralised storage
  
  • Digital works, as well as all transaction data are stored in a decentralised and encrypted manner. This is done using the IPFS protocol and Photochain DB.
• Contents
  
  • The DApp is to be used exclusively for trading stock photography. Content that doesn’t fit the rules will be filtered using in-house developed bots.
• Copyright
  
  • By employing machine learning bots and also incentivising of the Photochain community through rewards.

Our project, photochain.io, is aiming to build a chain of copyrighted images. We'd like to start a discussion on how you think this could work. If you can take a look at this 3 minute read https://medium.com/photography-secrets/why-blockchains-are-better-for-copyright-protection-2e6630f204b9 and let us know if you feel this is enough blockchain-based protection...

Muchos Gracias!

Hi all, we're interested to know the community's thoughts on digital copyright chains - such as photochain.io
We ask because we're looking to solve what we see as a genuine problem in the market.

But will you as cypto users, be interested in using such a product and what expectations would you have from such projects? What would you like a token issued from such a blockchain / dapp be able to be used for?

This is not true that you'd earn an equivalent income from traditional photostocks. In some cases, those guys take 90% of all earnings. Plus they often impose a variety of restrictions on the photographer.

At Photochain, you will be able to take home 95% of earnings. This is fixed. Also there are no restrictions, as photographers are able to define their own terms of sale and directly communicate this to their potential buyers.

Also thanks to the way we've used smart contracts, in conjunction with IPFS, incidents of copyright theft can be tracked down easily and resolved almost immediately.

Plus Photochain would be a community run by the photographers, for the photographers. It takes back the power from corporations who have money at the forefront of their minds and not the individuals who do the hard work.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to take a moment to let you know about an idea some guys are working on. It’s called Photochain.io and it uses Ethereum technology to create an alternative to photostocks.

We all know how difficult photostocks can be to deal with. The Photochain DApp uses smart contracts as the basis for a peer-to-peer photo market, removing the need for meddling middlemen. Smart contracts are ideal for building a marketplace, for many reasons. But the key benefit here is that without an intermediary, sellers receive a much greater percentage of sales proceeds. With Photochain, photographers will receive 95% of the revenue.

Come and check out the prototype. If you would like to take part in the crowdsale or are interested in becoming a contributor, sign up on the homepage. Participants in the early pre-sale will receive a discount of 30% to the intended token sale price.
