Will there be a chat system or form in a system where users can communicate with each other personally and maybe meet a route or mark a place on the map, that it would not be visible to all people?
Interesting idea - what would the route mark be used for ? Like hidden meeting place for two people ?

Hello! Tell me, did you choose such a strange model of token distribution? On the IKO will be sold only 25% of the tokens, this is very little I think so. Decided to leave the most part to support users?
Yes, Community gets 45%. We need a lot of tokens to kickstart global community and initial reviews - that way we can start negotiating deals with businesses very quickly and increase token price. Yes it will be just fine. I think the community will appreciate and the system will start full-fledged work right after launch. Will you conduct a closed testing of the project? I would like to take part when the development is almost finished. Everyone on our mailing list will get a chance to join beta testing.

For which mobile devices are you going to develop? Will there be applications available for android and iOS? I would like to download the application for windows phone and see how it will work.
We are starting from existing platform called OpenHours that already has mobile applications developed for Android and iOS. We do not have a plan to develop app for Windows phone due to low market share and significant improvement on responsive web applications. Of course if large portion of our community will want and need Windows phone app we will release it.

In addition to the video reviews in favor of business, is it possible to see in your application a historical reference or additional information about the city in which the tourist is located? Or will it be contained on the main platform? It is important for some tourists to have full and useful information. Thanks for the reply.
Users and reviewers will have their own profile page on Futourist. Private profile page will enable them to display certain data (as chosen by user). This may include historical travel data, travel "bucketlist", pictures, videos and other media from travelling. Influencers (users who want to earn money with Futourist) may offer specific services to their community - like "Tip 4 Tip" service, where users can ask world travellers about specific places in exchange for tokens. We want to give Influencers enough tools that enable them to build their own community of followers and get paid for helping users or sharing specific content. Using the "Tip 4 Tip" chat and getting advice according to your strategy will also be paid by tokens or will it be possible to use the usual currency for these purposes? After all, to pay for advice from users who have already visited this place, may need an electronic purse. Will there be a different option for payment? Tokens only for now. We understand it might be hard to get tokens for some users but we will be giving out a lot of initial tokens to reviewers - so it wont be hard to earn some and spend them within the platform. We are building a blockchain project with utility token. Enabling other payment models from the start would affect token velocity and we would have really hard time to recover.

The number of tokens will be fixed or will they be released in the future for users? I did not find this information in white paper and would like to understand this for myself. And will the company redeem its tokens from the market in the future?
Token amount is fixed. What do you mean by company redeeming tokens from market ?

You will not pay for watching reviews. Platform pay to you for your review, you spend what you got to food/drink in businesses that participate in ecosystem, they spend what they get to promote themselves, platform gets this tokens back and pay to you for your review. Loop.
Influencers (users who want to earn money with Futourist) may offer specific services to their community - like "Tip 4 Tip" service, where users can ask world travellers about specific places in exchange for tokens." I think he was referring to the payment for providing information to the community. That would be a reasonable proposition. Tourists, who have not yet chosen a place of rest and having looked through the video-review, could not determine, there may be questions about the city or the country as a whole. They are willing to pay a few tokens for more details. Am I right? You are right. When travelling to exotic places first hand information is priceless. Why not connect users with experienced travellers and trade information amongst them by using FTR tokens ?

The fact that Futourist offers a full range of services in one application in a game form can support many users who have not yet reached the age of majority. Such an opportunity as "Tip 4 Tip" Chat should be of particular interest to them. Will you limit the age of the participants when registering video-reviews? Registrations and content publishing on our platform will be within existing legal framework of the specific country where we are expanding. Posting content for underage users is possible and legal (Facebook, Instagram, Youtube) but we will have to wait for regulation on crypto payments to see what can we do.

Do you planning work with Russian region ? I mean translation of whitepaper and app or maybe automatically generated subtitles for video reviews (also for other languages) like in YouTube? Or all reviews will be on English language?
This is certainly a difficult question but I think the platform should work in different languages. Since many tourists do not speak English, they still want to use high-quality service. On this there must be at least some more popular languages Futourist is built on top of existing platform called OpenHours. OpenHours has impressive geographical presence. They’re currently present in over 20 countries, and each country has its own internationalised version of this service: Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Czechia, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. We intend to add new countries as the platform goes global. We are building International Global platform with 0 compromises.

Futourist is a travel review platform, focusing on video reviews and catering the influencers. On Futourist, you will be able to review anything travel related, anywhere, at any time. From restaurants to accomodation, parks, things to do, transport etc.
How can we make sure that all reviews are valid? Most likely some people will just do reviews for the payment, not considering what they write for. Also, invalid reviews can also affect your readers and business alike. Me too it interests. I think every person should be responsible for the information that he provides to the community. I hope that this will all be moderated. Our plan is to build solid AI that would help us filter out users that write fake reviews. We understand AI implementation can be complex and needs a lot of data in order to build solid AI model, so this functionality will be published when its ready. On existing platforms users that write fake reviews are usually higher level reviewers who have a lot of trust, traction and presence. These same users worked really hard to build their profile to the point where they can monetise their service of fake reviews. For such users implementing some sort of "proof of stake" - staking part of earned tokens or part of earned level before posting can be real turn off to sell fake reviews. On the other hand - we are THE platform that rewards reviews, so users that work hard and build reputation will most likely be able to earn more by staying honest and just keep using the platform as intended.

Hello. Please tell me how often will be updated each of the video reviews? You can't use the same information all the time. Who will monitor the presence of the business in real time? In fact not all firms will consider for necessity to delete the profiles after closing them at a tourist point. All these subtleties will be marked in the application as additional functions?
Video reviews may be added by users at any desired time. Like mentioned several times before, Futourist is built on top of existing platform called OpenHours. OpenHours has nearly a million businesses and services in its database already and has existing services for business presence monitoring - at the moment this is handled in three ways: data scraping, business self maintenance and user contribution (users tagging businesses that closed down, or opened up). We intend to keep same procedure but with key difference - users that help us correct information and update the platform will also get part of the reward.

Tell us please on what terms you managed to negotiate with "openhours" All the same, starting with a million users it will be very good. And the main thing that is good for the growth of tokens. It will be cool as the platform will start its work immediately. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Futourist partnered with OpenHours meaning our team is merged with existing OpenHours members and we started working on platform.

Is there any role in what language users will make content. The reward depends on this and whether there is any restriction. That's what interests me.
Futourist will be built on top of existing platform called OpenHour which is already present in 20+ countries. International support is already there and Futourist will support all existing communities and keep adding new ones as the platform develops.

the idea behind this thing is very unique. would love to see this getting launched and kick the current existing trip reviewers. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) We are sure launch will happen ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Will there be an application written for the windows phone. Just at the moment, many people have these phones. Do you consider it necessary to write an application for this operating system?
Due to low market share and latest superb technical capabilities of responsive web, at the moment we are not thinking about it. Talking to our community and our supporters and working with real usage data may change that in the future.

Business - a company who uses Futourist in order to spread awareness / make direct sales / get other benefits like audience analytics etc.
I would like to know in more detail how the business will make sales within the network? Will it be direct advertising or something else?
If you are business and you want to sell your services, drinks, food or travel services you will be able to create "Offers". Offers are then displayed on users application in field "Nearby offers". Users looking to grab a drink or food in certain city can simply open the application and see what discounted offers are available near them.

Futourist is the first travel review platform that rewards you for your reviews with crypto tokens. On Futourist you will be able to claim the newly introduced Futourist Tokens (FTR) in return for your reviews of travel services and places, depending on the quality of that review (community upvotes).
Will there be a certain way or condition to get a good review quality? I think with this project, there will be so many people who want to be a reviewer. Because in addition to earn FTR tokens, it's also have a lot of fun. Futourist is built as self sustaining platform backed by community. Therefore quality of a review is defined by community.
