When will GUI be fixed to match http://www.old.synereo.com/screens/3_single-post.png? I believe that a nice interface is an important feature that can persuade individuals to join the upcoming crowdsales. Also, how long has this been a project? From what I understand, one of the devs has been working on the mathematics of the project for seven years. How long has he been working on development? We consider UI/Frontend to be just as important (if not more) as the technology behind it and plan on hiring personnel and developing a UX on par with modern apps before we introduce the product to the mainstream. You are correct - the underlying P2P stack has been in development for more than 4 years and received 3.2M USD in funding. Andy |

It has been an amazing ride and we are grateful for the support we received from the community and our partners. We are proud to announce that with this partnership, Synereo's technology has finally found its way into the hands of billions of users and is now powering the biggest communication and content distribution platform in the world. ======================= Facebook to Acquire SynereoAcquisition positions both companies on a track to completely revolutionize global communications and content distribution.MENLO PARK, Calif., March 31, 2015: Synereo Ltd., the decentralized and distributed social network, is ecstatic to announce that it has reached an agreement for the acquisition of its technology and assets by Facebook Inc., world’s leading provider of social networking services, for a total of approximately $26.7 billion. This includes $6.8 billion in cash and the rest in shares of Facebook common stock (valued at $19.9 billion based on the average closing price of the 20 trading days preceding March 31). The agreement also provides for an additional $13.3 billion earn-out in cash and stock based on the achievement of certain milestones, making it Facebook’s largest acquisition to date. Synereo is a global leader in decentralization technology, having spent the last 4 years developing and implementing a unique fully decentralized P2P communication and content delivery stack that powers the attention-economy enabled social network. Synereo has conditioned the deal on the immediate implementation of its decentralized technology – “just shmecking the Facebook UI on top of Synereo’s backend” as Synereo Co-Founder and President, Anderson Mccutcheon, put it. “We just put a decentralized bullet through Facebook’s head” said Synereo co-founder and CEO, Dor Konforty. “By the time Facebook realize that a decentralized social network can’t actually be acquired or controlled, we’ll be long gone with the money, and Synereo will have over a billion active users”. “I have no fucking idea what happened. Nobody talked to me, I feel like this was all done behind my back” said Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg as he was bitchslapping David Wehner all the way to the coffee machine. “At least I have chicken” he concluded. The transaction has taken place on March 22nd and will be fully represented in Facebook’s financial reports for the second quarter of 2015. About SynereoSynereo’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. People use Synereo to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what’s going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them. About FacebookFacebook’s so called mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what’s going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them, as long as it generates enough revenue to justify its development.

Sup crypti! How's the project going? If i understand right, companies pay users to look at adwords.
But usually only very poor users looks at adwords for some money.
What is the conversion from such advertising?
Our system is incredibly more complex than that. Nobody is "paid" to watch "ads". Any type of content can be AMPLIFIED on the network. This includes party invitations from your friend, a political blog post from a writer you like, or your mom wanting to spread embarrassing pictures of you to her network. You can opt-out of any aspect of this (say, promoted posts from that blogger, or from some business you dislike, or from one community you're a member in, or altogether), but we believe that this is a mechanism that will contribute to the social networking experience in general rather than detract from it. We go into detail about this at the beginning of our whitepaper. We discuss the different attributes of the system and how they balance one another. http://www.synereo.com/whitepapers/synereo.pdfMaybe you should explain it in an easy way for us. It is easy to throw big facebook numbers around, but I am not satisfied with this. It is hard to understand how you monetize your network. Even why you need AMPs. So companys come to facebook and pay for advertising. Who will come to pay for the AMPs? First of all, AMP, if we ignore the advertising aspect for a sec, allows you to amplify any type of content over the network. There is certain current strength, based on your Reo (think of it as influence , relevance, reputation) that delivers content. AMPs is what can push it beyond that "natural" force of delivery. But what it means for content creators and advertisers, is that they can apply it to distributing songs, books, videos streams, pictures, reaching a wider audience. But the AMPs don't go to some higher entity (like what happens when you pay Facebook for advertising) the AMPs are injected into Synereo and end up compensating the audience for the attention they allocated to your content. So if Tesla wants to add Synereo into the marketing mix and allocated Budget X to promoting the new offering to car enthusiasts, they put AMPs behind their content to amplify their reach. The more relevant and higher quality the message, the less AMPs will be wasted since the attention allocated by the audience is more "natural" in the first place. But since you are grabbing that attention for your own needs, you still have to compensate the person. So this audience ends up with AMPs of their own as as natural result of this process. Nd Alright thank you. So the advertisers can only post something, they can´t add banners,etc., right? They can release content just like any other content creator, and AMPlify it. However if a content creator chooses to run fugly, irrelevant banners, the compensation offered to users that got exposed to this sort of low quality content becomes significantly higher than the compensation received by an audience of artist X fans that that are being offered concert tickets.

Hey, What are the differences between Synereo and Reveal ? Plenty, but I assume the question arises from the feature that both have in common, and is prominently featured on Reveal's website. Being compensated for your attention and content production is not the purpose of Synereo. This is not our USP. It is merely a side effect of having a distributed social network. Once you remove the entity that is responsible for selling the attention and taking the ad revenue, you end up with a system that simply distributes advertising revenue - just like it distributes everything else.Andy |

Hi Just wanted to let you know that you can now follow our progress (as well as read posts by various team members) at http://blog.synereo.com/. Since taking the project public we've been working on expanding the team and continuing Synereo's development while taking into account the barrage of feedback we receive in the process. Seriously, feedback is important. We want to hear your wants, the do-not-wants and just ideas, things that you consider to be overlooked in both existing social networks and Synereo's specs. Nd |

Yeah We had quite a few iterations, eventually one of their F5's designers helped us create the logo and the visual language used in all Synereo symbols you see now. Nd |

Hi Dor told me to say hello, so here I am I also want to elaborate upon a very important concept that may have gone missing in that huge blob of text. It's not one that makes Synereo awesome from a technical or benefit-for-society perspective, but the one that enables Synereo to become a mainstream platform. It is our job to make the B2B aspect of Synereo work. Businesses and advertisers are the ones that give AMPs their value. Our attention is worth a lot of money. And it's being sold to the highest bidder (literally, just google RTB http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rtb) without any of the users seeing a dime. With Synereo's model, we simply remove the eventual beneficiary (publicly traded corporations collecting the revenue generated by advertising) and redistribute it to the users. This has benefits both businesses and users - just think of the advantages of having advertising money funnelled directly to the target audience. And it's a heaven for non-profits as well, since everyone in the system have AMPs to spend and pay for the distribution of content they care about. Btw, Dor just finished hosting a panel at Bitcoin TLV with David Johnston(MasterCoin), Vitalik Buterin (Etherium), Stas Oskin(Counterparty) and others. He will be at the conference all day today and tomorrow - you are more than welcome to walk up and to talk to him with any questions or ideas you may have.You can also talk to the team & get updates via http://www.facebook.com/synereo and http://www.twitter.com/synereo (yes yes ironic, we know) Nd |
