DATA and ADVERTISEMENT Driven Economy vs Sharing Economy network

Year after year e-commerce and sharing / gig economy platforms are increasingly becoming the first option to achieve many products or services, but at the same time these platforms are becoming more and more invasive regarding users’ privacy.
Through data analysis this companies are collecting patterns on every single operation users do, details about preferences, tracking of visited websites, behaviors that through AI can maximize marketing efficiency. Just because these companies know exactly users’ tastes, opinions and even psychological characteristics, this knowledge can be so profound to pursue even the manipulation of their needs and desires.
Company as Facebook, Google Amazon, Spotify, Uber (and many others..) radically changed the former idea of business. They have dematerialized their income assets and can maximize income thanks to data provided by users for free (or sometimes even paying).
Ok, so far nothing new, but…
When Globalized companies are mapping digital activities, linking information to extended communities, the priority for this companies can be synthesized with the terms of sharing through horizontal relationship their own digital platform.
This network effect gives free service to the masses and high centralized capital gains to this global companies.
In an ideal community when a data driven business reach a critical mass to become efficient, the company is able to create habits, limiting others businesses ability to join into competition. Today is difficult to listen to music in alternative ways when our friends always share us Youtube videos or Spotify links.

Data and the relationship between users creating and providing data to the platform are now the ground where this kind of business lays on. Unfortunately, this companies create an imperfect competition within each industry.
They have very little infrastructural cost by nature, thus the power of accumulation of capital is pretty fast and asymmetric. Many sharing economy services create a searchable and closed network that gives them high economical power to the data owners or providers on that single niche segment (e.g. Airbnb on room reservations or BlaBlaCar on transport sharing).
Moreover, the centralization of an industry lead to the destruction of local wealth. No taxi agencies can compete with Uber, and no chain store of libraries with Amazon, anymore.
“The profits are all based on the user’s info, but the users get none of the profits back. […] Apple makes its money off of good products, not off of you. As they say, with Facebook, you are the product.”
- Steve Wozniak
You’re probably familiar with Cambridge Analytica, the firm that harvested data on 87 million US Facebook users. This case is not alone, in recent years a batch of surveillance companies, operating in a far more clandestine manner in comparison to Cambridge Analytica and its partners, have been infiltrating all kinds of social media platforms.

These spy-tech vendors are offering services not only to co-opt and influence social media groups with sock puppet accounts, but will even deliver spyware via the fake profiles they create and send across different platforms.
“Big surveillance companies are only able to do this because they exploit a broader ecosystem. Fundamentally, Facebook and other companies have a responsibility to protect their users”
warned Edin Omanovic, head of Privacy International’s State Surveillance project.
Facebook changed its policies to stop allowing app creators to access data about users friends unless the user’s friends had also authorized the app, however some vulnerabilities are still there.
… is free service a fair compensation for users data?
… is the use of these platforms really free?
According to some data reported, a fan is worth less than 5 dollars a day (calculating that Facebook in 2016 recorded a growth of 51% of revenues with a turnover of 8.81 billion USD and an audience of 1.86 billion subscribers).
According to Social Flow, a fan is worth $14.17.
Services such as Value of a Like or Instagram money calculator show quite simply the value range of an Instagram page, a Facebook Like and the engagement that they can reach on their pages. This value is therefore real and is paid by users.
What is the currency to pay for these “free” services? Users attention.

The lack of trust is definitely justified as the right for privacy is mandatory.
“No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks”
- 12th article of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
In 2017, the data flow was worth $200 billion and it will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%.
Data analysis can be useful and AI helps users to be matched easily with what they could like and need, but they should have a compensation and control over data they provide.
Is not acceptable anymore to be treated as unpaid data factories.
What we, as Localflow, want to structure is a radical change on the Data economy, giving users and businesses access and control on what they are providing and sharing, rewarding them for the growing of the ecosystem.
Localflow wants to bring a local decentralized ecosystem to life, making possible to local services to emerge.
We aim at revolutionizing the local economy: granting total privacy for users and by the other hand improving small local shops and entities visibility.
So that who really is moving local economy like shops, cinemas, groceries, plumbers and so on, will show they data, working hours, calendars, products or services provided, but users will be able to control shared data.
There will be no prerecorded personal data, and will be possible to erase completely search history and bot answers.
Localflow don’t want to know who you are and what you do, because we will not make value from selling personal data, they will not be given or sold to third party companies or organizations because they are never collected in relation to a single person. Data will be used only for anonymized general statistics without possibility to relate them back to specific users.
So in this model, it is not necessary to exploit personal information because the whole technological infrastructure will be sustained by small and fair fees on the local economic network, real sharing economy services and local marketing campaigns.
Blockchain technology can help to maintain online privacy, having digital identity connected with their id on telegram or in the Localflow platform and an anti-money laundering Digital certificate connected with subledgers. So legal compliance and privacy could match parallelly.
At the same time service provided now by workers in many gig economy companies, such us in transportations or delivery that are subjected to low gains and fractured work hours, could find a new more respectful working structure.

Decentralization as the core of privacy
Centralization of data: a company has in its hands our data and even our reputation. This lead to the effect of a single point of failure (SPOF) vulnerable to hacks and malevolent use.
The application of Decentralized Ledger Technologies is perfectly suitable to resolve the SPOF problem and the concentration of data. A distributed and decentralized data storage is key to take worth data off from companies that have been selling our information as their own cash flow model.
How to make it possible? How can an individual be part of a decentralized network? Localflow gives to local business and entrepreneur “user-friendly tools” to start this revolution and get involved into the local community and local chats.
The first tools the Localflow will provide are a network of chatbots, that can be considered as “Artificial Conversational Entities”.

This chatbots are small programs, that can be launched on many different mainstream platforms (Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Wechat, Amazon Echo, etc…), which can conduct a conversation via auditory or textual methods.
They are commonly used for B2C customer service, sales and marketing.
But as we know, the most of nowadays chatbot are centralized, leading that owner’s company can check and sell personal information to third party entities.
Localflow, instead, will use the protocol named Masked Authenticated Messaging (MAM) provided by the IOTA foundation to warranty privacy to consumers. Getting deeper, MAM is used as the message dispatching mechanism for any chatbots in the Localflow network.

MAM enables nodes to exchange data on the Tangle, fully authenticated and encrypted. When the network is extended and the community will have traction, a local sharing economy ecosystem will be created to be efficient, fair and local.
At least, it remains a big issue: why local business should be involved in this?
Well, tokens economy may be a good explanation. The ideas are the following: if individuals are participating in the network, they can gain some tokens that can be spent for other services in the network, from using EWA’s to push word of mouth influencer activities in the local communities or specific chatbot modules.
As Adam Smith pointed out:
“individual interest moves the economy”
The centralization of vital and personal information is the crucial business of many companies, but at the expense of individuals’ privacy. On the web, big players are selling our personal information to other companies that can altered our decision.
Our information’s are now given totally for free and users are not gaining nothing from it. Decentralized Ledger Technologies (DLT) can improve this situation, making individuals protected and owners of their own personal information, able to be rewarded if they want to share them.
Decentralization and distribution can so organize a competition against big players through the token advantage for participating into the community.
Make others understand the possibility ahead will be one of the greatest challenge.. but we like difficult games…

2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / ​Facebook holds ICO ban but allows 'approved' cryptocurrency ads on: June 28, 2018, 11:41:59 AM
The social network has tweaked its financial product scam ban, now allowing ads that promote cryptocurrency and related content from pre-approved advertisers only.

I think it's not a bad thing. It used to provide information more focused on the various projects compared to the simple sale of tokens during the ICO. What do you think about it?

4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Local promotion through Micro-influencers and chatbots on: June 26, 2018, 03:47:25 PM
Local promotion through Micro-influencers
The new marketing force of the future

Artificial Intelligence is a concept that can be summarized in a simplistic way as “machines that can learn to perform certain tasks in an increasingly intelligent way”.
The AI ​​technology we are most focused in is Natural Language Processing (NLP), this technology gives the possibility to integrate the power of machine learning into messaging Apps, in order to understand requests from users expressed in common natural language.
This system will build new models to interface with IT, all made possible by neural networks that can be trained. A whole new level of marketing sophistication will be offered, particularly for influencer marketing, bringing a more scientific approach to influencing businesses and places to maximize return on investment (ROI).
There is undoubtedly a disparity between SMEs and large multinational corporations: the latter, with high budgets, are in a unique position to demand the attention of social platforms, while those who do not have large capital are in a disadvantaged position. Internet and share economy services are presented as available to anyone and able to bring about real changes and the possibility of increasing their visibility. But is this really true? According to Statista, social media marketing spending amounts to about $ 13.5 billion in the United States alone in 2017.
In 2018, brands will increasingly use their spending power to collaborate with social platforms, also to help them teach their traditional creative teams to develop social content. But are there any feasible solutions even for SMEs?
What will the marketing force of the future be? Microinfluencers

Ok, ok… but who are Micro-Influencers?
Micro-influencers are defined as people with a social media follow-up of around 1,000–100,000 followers, who maintain a medium or small audience, but they build an excellent trust relationship with their followers.
When determining friends and “nearer” acquaintances, 1,000 followers are enough to have a “weight” on Instagram for example. Unlike influencers, who count several hundred or millions of followers, micro-influencers establish themselves as opinion leaders in one or more specific sectors. Each of these micro-influencers will in turn be followers of other influencers in other areas of interest, structuring the entire digital network as a network where you can potentially find the right advice whenever you search it.
Between 20% and 50% of purchases take place behind the phenomena of the “word of mouth”.
Big influencers usually focus on a very large audience and make commercial agreements with third parties trying to expand their followers pool more and more. They do this through the release of smart contents or covert marketing campaigns aimed at making product placement by hiding it under the friendly image they have established with their audience.
Localflow allows to overcome what they call the “paradox of the authenticity of the influencer”, the idea that people with more followers are less authentic. It’s obvious that the people closest to you have more influence on the decisions you make, thus the more an influencer increases their follow-up, the less importance they have for their audience. Otherwise, any user who wants to become a micro-influencer in a local group of Localflow, remains clearly linked to its territorial area, limiting its ability to quit its role as an opinion leader of the territory. This approach, though with defined limits, actually goes to make the most of the ROI for the local promotion of services and events, reducing at most the possibilities of forcing the “ game ” of the visibility widening and consequently reduction of the relationship of trust that normally occur with social networks.
That’s why the rates of involvement diminish over the number of followers above 1k. According to a study conducted by Markerly, a profile with 1,000 followers records an engagement rate of 8%, while a base fan composed of 10,000 users drops to 4%. As the number of followers increases, the engagement rate decreases, reaching 1.7% with 1 million fans.


Instagram Like Rate vs. Followership (source Markerly)


Instagram Comment Rate vs. Followership (source Markerly)

It turns out that a profile with fewer than 1,000 followers gets around 6 times more comments and likes than a profile with more than 100,000 fans. They reach a more targeted audience.

Influence is power. But the attention is even more…

Localflow is the first service that pays attention to local niches and to the network of advice and opinions that every member of that community can make available to the community. The role of micro-influencers in the most popular social platforms, however, is rewarded little, increasingly delineating a remarkable gap between the monetization that manages to derive the great influencer with a less trusted audience than the micro-influencer with a smaller audience but more trusted.

The purpose is not just getting “eyes and ears”; but getting “eyes and ears” that care!

Our promotion system is based on including all the protagonists of a particular local area, developing these principles:
  • Do not market to them, market with them. Using the Localflow chatbots you will be able to receive feedback on your products, naturally stimulated by the community. Influencers will manage conversations and promotion of your product or service by freely sharing their impressions and becoming an active part of the promotion chain. The rewards with EWA token will guarantee and stimulate a virtuous and correct attitude of the platform, keeping as many resources within the local areas;
  • Smaller is better. Our micro-influencer are encouraged to act within the specific area where they work or spend most of the day, having the opportunity to meet their followers, during their events or through their services and to have a credibility that is not only virtual but real. Thus, even if every single local community could be smaller, overall they certainly have some impact;
  • Break down barriers of consumer-created content. Each influencer is in turn a follower of other influencers, and each Localflow user is a content creator in the field. To get the most interesting content from consumers, we need to treat them as intelligent and experienced individuals who should be rewarded for their work. With Localflow the creation of events and services is fast and intuitive, allowing anyone to share their content. Localflow will also stimulate the creation of content through campaigns that will reward users for creating quality events;
  • Authentic Relationships. To be effective, influencers must approve a product because they like it, not because they have been compensated. Feedback on influencers in Localflow is direct and conversational. There are no like, reported followers, or any number that defines each user as more influential. The influence must be conquered each time by participating actively in public or private groups, talking to their followers and proposing services or events to the community where everyone has the opportunity to get to know each other. The revolution of Localflow is to go from “show and appear” to “conversing and getting involved”: everyone is able to conquer the definition of opinion leader at any time if he is able to do so;
  • Highly automated reward system. EWA token rewarding is done by both the main LocalflowBot chatbot, through the LocaldropTM distribution model and by each business according to the amount they allocated for their local promotion campaigns. The philosophy is that if you pay too much people, they may feel compelled to say something positive about your brand, whether that is their true feeling or not. The smaller the sphere of influence, the less likely it is that each influencer exploits it in a non-virtuous or honest way. Every micro influencer of the Localflow network is important, defining us as an empowerment company.

Discover the EWA token
Crypto tokens are special kind of virtual currency tokens that reside on their own blockchains and represent an asset or utility. EWA is an Ethereum erc223 token created to power the Localflow network and aims to be used to buy the business' services, power the reward schema, and thin the exchanges of goods and services.

The network
Localflow strives to be a collaborative platform to assemble and deploy decentralized domain- specific chatbots focused on small and medium sized businesses, their supply chains and on private individuals that offer services in their communities. Through Localflow people discover, contribute and use local information and offers without the need for a centralized intermediary.
People’s attention is rewarded with EWA tokens when they add or broadcast genuine content.
Businesses, retailers, and private individuals assemble their own modular bots from the component collection of the platform and can allocate EWA from their wallets to better rank their bots and related information in the local search index. Anyone is rewarded with EWA for creating meet-ups and high-quality social activities.


EWA token - circulation model for social activities.

Developers and data analysts are rewarded with EWA for publishing new bot components, enhancing language translations, maintaining the hybrid human-artificial intelligence engine, the Natural Language Processing module and any other contribution to the project.
Check the Whitepaper to see the other smart contracts with details.

The wallet
Private microservices and businesses can activate two direct payment gateways, crypto (EWA, IOTA, BTC and ETH are the first to be supported) and FIAT (credit card). At the other end, chatbot users can access their wallet via chatbot, opting for paying for goods and services, choosing one of their preferred currencies. They can also redeem discounts using EWA tokens.
The wallet v.0.1 is currently available for testing in beta, you can follow the Telegram international group to know more about the beta testing program or send us an email to ewatoken@localflow.com

Localdrops
Localdrops are EWA tokens distributed through @LocalflowBot chatbot, consistently with the Localflow concept: when people make virtuous actions for their local economy, e.g. event creation, invitation of other people, quality content promotion, new business creation, etc they will receive EWA tokens in their personal wallet balance.
Community influencers are rewarded with EWA for reaching out to additional people for the Localflow and for motivating local businesses to build and deploy specific bots, promote them within interesting chat groups, and for sponsoring the Localflow ecosystem in other networks.

30% of EWA total supply will be dedicated to this, 15% before TGE and 15% after TGE across 2 years according to the business development plan. Ultimately, this geographically spread local token distribution won’t dilute the total market value, because business adoption and real commercial exchanges drive the token velocity counterbalancing volatility.

5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / [ANN] Localflow PRE-SALE LIVE on: June 26, 2018, 12:46:01 PM


Presale and distribution
EWA tokens will be generated and distributed simultaneously with the release of the service supporting real usage, namely the Localflow network. From now till the Token Generation Event (which is scheduled in the 3rd quarter 2018), people can reserve EWA tokens through a SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens), send us an email to ewatoken@localflow.com for more info.

What is Localflow

Localflow allows the creation and customization of decentralized chatbots, immersed in your local communities. The resulting network is optimized to serve fast local exchanges and genuine untracked information production and sharing.
The connected world of private individuals and local businesses, indeed, lacks a tool for building flexible, effective and fast local profit accelerators that can provide granular access to goods and services with high privacy standards. A tool with which local activities, events, products and services can be promoted, sold and instantly delivered by and for the real actors of the local economy.

The project

The purpose of Localflow is to foster local exchanges all over the world delivering an open AI-powered local search engine through a decentralized chatbot network connected to private services, business offers and the authentic activities run by the people.
We are building a secure AI, chatbot and blockchain tool, where local businesses can reach and serve customers more efficiently than traditional digital channels.
The infrastructure is based on the use of a decentralized structure: the IOTA Tangle, a direct acyclic graph structure (DAG), suitable for allowing users to make instant transactions with 0% fees.
Using MAM technology, Localflow guarantees the protection of user information with high standards of privacy using quantum-proof security.
Through the release of EWA token (an ERC223 standard utility token on the Ethereum blockchain), users are able to build their chatbots, manage their transactions with smart contracts and access special discounts within the network. The circulation of EWA tokens is driven by businesses and micro-influencers which promote the creation, sharing and access to goods, services and offers in a particular local area.

Key points

  • Resilient because conceived, adopted and improved by the users themselves, people, microinfluencers and local businesses.
  • Glocal because it is available worldwide but the use is local and invests in the territory.
  • Simple because you can just write your sentence and let the Natural Language Processing do the rest. It’s not an App but it's already present in conversational Apps! Best interface is no interface!
  • Enabler because it allows to design chatbots for economic activities (Bar, Shop or any service) coupling them to local communities.
  • Decentralized because based on DLT like the blockchain and DAG.
  • Distraction free completely automated and ad-free platform. The use of the platform encourages rapid and non-addictive use, in order to devote energy and resources to real life.


The mission, the vision and the philosophy

Localflow focus on the local economy as it allows local actors to regain those margins that today are kept by Gig Economy players, without exploiting user data.
Localflow brings attention to local exchanges, which during the digital revolution have increasingly suffered from a progressive impoverishment due to the high commissions and the exploitation of the personal data of the users. Localflow exceeds the keywords auction system for visibility purchasing, allowing to bring together “lost” customers with e-commerce.
The “pay per click" (PPC) auctioning system of keywords proposed, for instance by Google AdWords and other services (GAFAs) is not fully exploitable by SMEs, because it is too expensive in terms of money and time, and is not suitable for a more localized search for products and services in a given area.
Visibility is gained by creating and sharing real and quality events and not by paying a keyword (SEM) or by managing them through a SEO strategy, giving everyone the opportunity and freedom to promote their quality content at zero cost. Peers accessing the network are not tracked and the searched information not stored in any form.
Localflow brings also attention back to the territory by creating a GLOCAL network: fast, highly automated respecting user data. The service will also remain without advertising and without the need to be supported by energies that are outside the Localflow network.

6  Local / Progetti / La prima piattaforma decentralizzata di chatbot con crypto on: June 26, 2018, 12:13:47 PM



LA RETE DI LOCALFLOW: la prima piattaforma decentralizzata di chatbot per incentivare i veri scambi locali


Stiamo costruendo una piattaforma di chatbot AI decentralizzati e personalizzabili facilmente dagli utenti per la loro attività, servizio personale e per incentivare gli scambi locali in tutto il mondo.
Ora vi spiego brevemente ogni singola parola di quella che di primo acchito potrebbe essere una descrizione alquanto confusa e complessa...

Cos'è un chatbot?
Un chatbot è un programmino che permette di rispondere automaticamente alle domande o risposte degli utenti. Li si possono integrare in molte delle App di messaggistica (Telegram, WeChat, Facebook Messenger, ecc) o web app. Quindi non serve scaricare altre App! I nostri chatbot saranno già raggiungibili direttamente dalle App già scaricate dagli utenti. Stiamo costruendo una rete di chatbot che ogni utente può costruire per il proprio business o servizio, tutte facente parte di un'unica rete e ricercabili attraverso un chatbot principale: quello della "ricerca locale" di Localflow. Quest'ultimo quindi sarà in grado, in base alle richieste degli utenti, di cercare il giusto chatbot tra quelli fatti dagli utenti, e quindi il giusto servizio per la ricerca effettuata. In ogni chatbot gli utenti potranno facilmente inserire il loro listino prezzi, i loro contatti, agende smart, gateway di pagamento e migliaia di altre funzioni spiegate nel nostro sito http://localflow.com


Perchè AI?
Perchè per rispondere o comprendere le domande e le richieste degli utenti, i nostri chatbot hanno bisogno di fare una cosa chiamata NLP (Natural Language Processing) ovvero l'interpretazione del linguaggio naturale. Abbiamo realizzato infatti un chatbot che comprende quello che gli utenti gli chiedono attraverso un normale messaggio, senza l'utilizzo di pulsanti o complicate istruzioni. Un po' come parlare con un assistente virtuale.

Perchè rete decentralizzata?
Perchè pensiamo che lo sviluppo, se condiviso, sia più rapido ed efficace. Il nostro codice sorgente sarà open source e chiunque vorrà arricchire la nostra offerta sarà ricompensato dal sistema.

Come sarà ricompensato e chi altro lo sarà?
I data analyst e i programmatori verranno ricompensati in EWA token, una criptovaluta creata ad hoc per il nostro sistema. In realtà verranno anche ricompensati tutti i protagonisti delle economie locali: quindi chi sarà in grado di proporre servizi ed eventi di qualità all'interno della nostra rete.

Il nostro alpha test inoltre è già online! Creando eventi dal nostro bot di Telegram https://t.me/localflowbot potrai già ricevere degli EWA token. Abbiamo infatti destinato parte della distribuzione dei token (15%) in forma di Localdrop, token destinati ad essere distribuiti ai primi utenti e agli early adopter in modo da incentivare un utilizzo virtuoso della nostra rete. Crediamo infatti che per definire il nostro token come perfettamente idoneo a rispecchiare le transazioni degli scambi reali locali dobbiamo costruire uno sviluppo del business il più possibile armonioso e sostenibile. Stiamo dando in mano ai nostri utilizzatori iniziali il token per incentivare da subito un prezzo non soggetto a grande volatilità e il più possibile parlamentato ale vere economie nel territorio.

Perchè puntiamo alle economie locali?
Come lo facciamo in tutto il mondo? Localflow ha pensato ad un sistema diverso rispetto a quello proposto dai GAFA per fare promozione e marketing dei prodotti degli utenti. Ognuno sarà libero di creare un proprio chatbot per censire i propri prodotti e servizi e questo verrà inserito nella rete di chatbot di Localflow. La ricerca di servizi per ogni utente sarà limitata nella sua area di ricerca e non in altre (a meno che non chieda per qualche altra area). La ricerca non sarà basata sulle keyword e relative aste di compravendita atte a mettere in competizione le varie attività. La nostra ricerca sarà invece LOCALIZZATA e guidata dalle esigenze dell'utente. Andiamo ad approfondire la richiesta stimolando il chatbot a fare ulteriori domande. Vi faccio un esempio: se un utente chiede un posto per bere stasera un buon cocktail a Milano, il chatbot risponderà chiedendo altre informazioni come per esempio il budget massimo, se vuole un locale con musica dal vivo, se lo vuole vicino a lui, ecc. Reputiamo che una interfaccia conversazione sia il miglior modo per esaudire una richiesta e non un sistema di aste che permetta la compravendita di visibilità e la forzatura del relativo gioco che sta dietro a questa dinamica. Il fatto che sia local non impedisce che sia replicabile in tutto il mondo. Vogliamo infatti costruire infinte nicchie "GLOCAL" in tutto il mondo.

Questi dati di ricerca degli utenti come vengono trattati?
Sempre prendendo l'esempio di prima, delle parole "cocktail", "Milano" e "stasera" cosa ce ne facciamo? Questi criteri di ricerca verranno fatte passare in una rete chiamata Tangle, la DAG (una specie di blockchain) di IOTA. Attraverso una tecnologia di IOTA, chiamata MAM, noi facciamo passare tutte le informazioni degli utenti in un sistema criptato e leggibile solamente dai chatbot pertinenti con la richiesta. Alla fine, quando l'output viene presentato all'utente, i dati da lui inseriti vengono eliminati senza lasciarne traccia o costruire inutili bolle di filtraggio. L'utente infatti ogni volta dovrà definire cosa gli interessa e cosa sta cercando parlando con il chatbot.

Che problema risolviamo?
I servizi ora presenti, benché dando un grandissimo contributo ai servizi locali, implicitamente ne sfruttano le risorse (sia di dati che di percentuali di commissioni) impoverendo gradualmente le economie locali. Inoltre, quanti sono i commercianti o i proprietari di business che veramente sanno utilizzare i nuovi strumenti digitali per potenziare la propria offerta? In che modo questi servizi si rendono veramente utili alle attività reali? Lo fanno definendo i loro servizi come gratuiti, ma sappiamo che in realtà non lo sono. Le nostre informazioni e la nostra attenzione infatti sono le risorse più importante che abbiamo. Noi proponiamo un'infrastruttura che faccia rimanere i dati totalmente all'interno di queste nicchie locali, uno sviluppo che sia decentralizzato e incentivato dall'aiuto degli stessi utenti, un sistema che ricompensa i veri protagonisti delle economie locali e delle percentuali di commissione sui nostri servizi nettamente inferiori alla concorrenza. Possiamo offrire servizi di reservation, food delivery, stock provisioning a prezzi nettamente inferiore proprio in virtù della nostra architettura snella e condivisa. Incentiviamo inoltre lo sviluppo delle economie locali attraverso gli stessi abitanti di tali aree. Cosa significa tutto questo? Che attraverso il nostro EWA token verranno ricompensate le persone che stimoleranno le call to action a particolari servizi, che sapranno ricoprire il ruolo di opinion leader all'interno della comunità locale e che andranno ad ottimizzare il ROI della promozione locale impersonificando il ruolo di "micro-influencer". I business possono allocare delle risorse finanziarie da distribuire automaticamente agli utenti che stimolano grazie ai loro consigli e condivisioni altre persone a comprare servizi e prodotti. Il tutto in modo altamente automatizzato, totalmente criptato e in grado di ridurre a zero le distrazioni.

Che pagamenti integreremo nella nostra rete?
I chatbot e i servizi di Localflow saranno acquistabili tramite EWA token il quale, come detto prima, sarà anche il token che ricompenserà l'utilizzo virtuoso dei servizi di Localflow. Inoltre supporteremo pagamenti in IOTA e FIAT tramite un nostro wallet multi-valuta già realizzato e in fase di testing interno.

Perchè utilizziamo IOTA?
Perché le transazioni in IOTA sono istantanee e a 0% di fee. Inoltre tramite alcune tecnologie di IOTA come i flash channels possiamo usufruire di canali preparati ancora più veloci. Noi reputiamo che la tecnologia DAG sia l'unica adeguatamente scalabile e idonea al pagamento all'interno delle economie locali reali.

LOCALFLOW NETWORK: the first decentralized chatbot platform for real local exchanges


We are building a decentralized and easily customizable AI chatbot platform for users by their business, personal service, and fostering local exchanges worldwide.
Now I will briefly explain to you every single word of what at first might be a rather confusing and complex description ...

What is a chatbot?
A chatbot is a software that allows you to automatically answer questions or answers from users. You can integrate them in many of the messaging apps (Telegram, WeChat, Facebook Messenger, etc.) or web app. So you do not need to download other apps! Our chatbots will already be accessible directly from the Apps already downloaded by users. We are building a network of chatbots that every user can build for their business or service, all part of a single network and searchable through a main chatbot: that of Localflow's "local search". The latter will then be able, based on user requests, to look for the right chatbot among those made by users, and then the right service for the search carried out. In every chatbot users can easily enter their price list, their contacts, smart agendas, payment gateways and thousands of other functions explained on our site http://localflow.com


Why AI?
Because to answer or understand the questions and requests of users, our chatbots need to do something called NLP (Natural Language Processing). We have, in fact, created a chatbot that includes what users ask for it through a normal message, without using buttons or complicated instructions. A bit like talking to a virtual assistant.

Why decentralized network?
Because we think that development, if shared, is faster and more effective. Our source code will be open source and anyone who wants to enrich our offer will be rewarded by the system.

How will it be rewarded and who else will it be?
Data analysts and programmers will be rewarded in EWA token, a cryptocurrency created specifically for our system. In reality, all the protagonists of the local economies will also be rewarded: therefore, who will be able to offer quality services and events within our network.

Our alpha test is already online! By creating events from our Telegram bot https://t.me/localflowbot you can already receive EWA tokens. We have in fact allocated part of the distribution of tokens (15%) in the form of Localdrop, token intended to be distributed to the first users and early adopters in order to encourage a virtuous use of our network. We believe that in order to define our token as perfectly suitable to reflect the transactions of real local exchanges we must build a business development that is as harmonious and sustainable as possible. We are giving to our initial users the token to immediately incentivize a price not subject to great volatility and as much as possible parliamentary to real economies in the territory.

Why do we focus on local economies?
How do we do it all over the world? Localflow has thought of a different system than the one proposed by GAFA to promote and market user products. Everyone will be free to create their own chatbot to register their products and services and this will be included in the Localflow chatbot network. The search for services for each user will be limited in his search area and not in others (unless he asks for some other area). The research will not be based on the keywords and related sales auctions aimed at competing the various activities. Instead, our research will be LOCALIZED and guided by user needs. Let's go to deepen the request by stimulating the chatbot to ask further questions. I'll give you an example: if a user asks a place to drink a good cocktail in Milan tonight, the chatbot will answer asking for other information such as the maximum budget, if he wants a bar with live music, if he wants it near him, etc. . We believe that a conversation interface is the best way to fulfill a request and not an auction system that allows the sale of visibility and the forcing of the related game behind this dynamic. The fact that it is local does not prevent it being replicable all over the world. We want to build infact "GLOCAL" niches all over the world.

How do users search this data?
Always taking the example of before, the words "cocktail", "Milan" and "tonight"... what will their destiny be? These search criteria will be passed into a network called Tangle, the DAG o IOTA. Through an IOTA technology called MAM, we pass all user information into an encrypted systemand readable only by the chatbots relevant to the request. In the end, when the output is presented to the user, the data entered by him are eliminated without leaving a trace or constructing unnecessary filtering bubbles. In fact, the user will have to define what he is interested in and what he is looking for when talking to the chatbot.

What problem do we solve?
The services now present, although giving a huge contribution to local services, implicitly exploit the resources (both of data and percentages of fees) gradually impoverishing local economies. Also, how many merchants or business owners really know how to use the new digital tools to enhance their offer? How are these services really useful for real activities? They do this by defining their services as free, but we know that they are not. Our information and our attention are in fact the most important resources we have. We propose an infrastructure that makes data remain totally within these local niches, a development that is decentralized and incentivized by the help of the users themselves, a system that rewards the true protagonists of the local economies and the commission percentages on our services that are significantly lower than the competition. We can offer reservation, food delivery, stock provisioning services at much lower prices precisely because of our lean and shared architecture. We also encourage the development of local economies through the inhabitants of these areas.

What does all this mean?
That through our EWA token will be rewarded people who will stimulate the call to action to particular services, which will play the role of opinion leader within the local community and that will optimize the ROI of the local promotion by embodying the role of "micro -influencer". Businesses can allocate financial resources to be distributed automatically to users who stimulate other people to buy services and products thanks to their advice and sharing. All in a highly automated, totally encrypted and able to reduce the distractions to zero.

What kind of payments will we integrate in our network?
The chatbots and Localflow services will be purchased through EWA token which, as mentioned before, will also be the token that will reward the virtuous use of Localflow services. We will also support payments in IOTA and FIAT through our own multi-currency wallet already built and in the internal testing phase.

Why we use IOTA?
Because IOTA transactions are instantaneous and 0% fees. Moreover, through some IOTA technologies such as flash channels we can take advantage of even faster prepared channels. We believe that DAG technology is the only one that is adequately scalable and suitable for payment within real local economies. For further information visit:

10  Local / Alt-Currencies (Italiano) / Localflow: una rete di chatbot AI per business, eventi e servizi locali on: June 07, 2018, 01:35:20 PM
Stiamo costruendo una piattaforma di chatbot AI decentralizzati e personalizzabili facilmente dagli utenti per la loro attività, servizio personale e per incentivare gli scambi locali in tutto il mondo.
Ora vi spiego brevemente ogni singola parola di quella che di primo acchito potrebbe essere una descrizione alquanto confusa e complessa...

Cos'è un chatbot?
Un chatbot è un programmino che permette di rispondere automaticamente alle domande o risposte degli utenti. Li si possono integrare in molte delle App di messaggistica (Telegram, WeChat, Facebook Messenger, ecc) o web app. Quindi non serve scaricare altre App! I nostri chatbot saranno già raggiungibili direttamente dalle App già scaricate dagli utenti. Stiamo costruendo una rete di chatbot che ogni utente può costruire per il proprio business o servizio, tutte facente parte di un'unica rete e ricercabili attraverso un chatbot principale: quello della "ricerca locale" di Localflow. Quest'ultimo quindi sarà in grado, in base alle richieste degli utenti, di cercare il giusto chatbot tra quelli fatti dagli utenti, e quindi il giusto servizio per la ricerca effettuata. In ogni chatbot gli utenti potranno facilmente inserire il loro listino prezzi, i loro contatti, agende smart, gateway di pagamento e migliaia di altre funzioni spiegate nel nostro sito http://localflow.com

Perchè AI?
Perchè per rispondere o comprendere le domande e le richieste degli utenti, i nostri chatbot hanno bisogno di fare una cosa chiamata NLP (Natural Language Processing) ovvero l'interpretazione del linguaggio naturale. Abbiamo realizzato infatti un chatbot che comprende quello che gli utenti gli chiedono attraverso un normale messaggio, senza l'utilizzo di pulsanti o complicate istruzioni. Un po' come parlare con un assistente virtuale.

Perchè rete decentralizzata?
Perchè pensiamo che lo sviluppo, se condiviso, sia più rapido ed efficace. Il nostro codice sorgente sarà open source e chiunque vorrà arricchire la nostra offerta sarà ricompensato dal sistema.

Come sarà ricompensato e chi altro lo sarà?
I data analyst e i programmatori verranno ricompensati in EWA token, una criptovaluta creata ad hoc per il nostro sistema. In realtà verranno anche ricompensati tutti i protagonisti delle economie locali: quindi chi sarà in grado di proporre servizi ed eventi di qualità all'interno della nostra rete.

Il nostro alpha test inoltre è già online! Creando eventi dal nostro bot di Telegram https://t.me/localflowbot potrai già ricevere degli EWA token. Abbiamo infatti destinato parte della distribuzione dei token (15%) in forma di Localdrop, token destinati ad essere distribuiti ai primi utenti e agli early adopter in modo da incentivare un utilizzo virtuoso della nostra rete. Crediamo infatti che per definire il nostro token come perfettamente idoneo a rispecchiare le transazioni degli scambi reali locali dobbiamo costruire uno sviluppo del business il più possibile armonioso e sostenibile. Stiamo dando in mano ai nostri utilizzatori iniziali il token per incentivare da subito un prezzo non soggetto a grande volatilità e il più possibile parlamentato ale vere economie nel territorio.

Perchè puntiamo alle economie locali?
Come lo facciamo in tutto il mondo? Localflow ha pensato ad un sistema diverso rispetto a quello proposto dai GAFA per fare promozione e marketing dei prodotti degli utenti. Ognuno sarà libero di creare un proprio chatbot per censire i propri prodotti e servizi e questo verrà inserito nella rete di chatbot di Localflow. La ricerca di servizi per ogni utente sarà limitata nella sua area di ricerca e non in altre (a meno che non chieda per qualche altra area). La ricerca non sarà basata sulle keyword e relative aste di compravendita atte a mettere in competizione le varie attività. La nostra ricerca sarà invece LOCALIZZATA e guidata dalle esigenze dell'utente. Andiamo ad approfondire la richiesta stimolando il chatbot a fare ulteriori domande. Vi faccio un esempio: se un utente chiede un posto per bere stasera un buon cocktail a Milano, il chatbot risponderà chiedendo altre informazioni come per esempio il budget massimo, se vuole un locale con musica dal vivo, se lo vuole vicino a lui, ecc. Reputiamo che una interfaccia conversazione sia il miglior modo per esaudire una richiesta e non un sistema di aste che permetta la compravendita di visibilità e la forzatura del relativo gioco che sta dietro a questa dinamica. Il fatto che sia local non impedisce che sia replicabile in tutto il mondo. Vogliamo infatti costruire infinte nicchie "GLOCAL" in tutto il mondo.

Questi dati di ricerca degli utenti come vengono trattati?
Sempre prendendo l'esempio di prima, delle parole "cocktail", "Milano" e "stasera" cosa ce ne facciamo? Questi criteri di ricerca verranno fatte passare in una rete chiamata Tangle, la DAG (una specie di blockchain) di IOTA. Attraverso una tecnologia di IOTA, chiamata MAM, noi facciamo passare tutte le informazioni degli utenti in un sistema criptato e leggibile solamente dai chatbot pertinenti con la richiesta. Alla fine, quando l'output viene presentato all'utente, i dati da lui inseriti vengono eliminati senza lasciarne traccia o costruire inutili bolle di filtraggio. L'utente infatti ogni volta dovrà definire cosa gli interessa e cosa sta cercando parlando con il chatbot.

Che problema risolviamo?
I servizi ora presenti, benché dando un grandissimo contributo ai servizi locali, implicitamente ne sfruttano le risorse (sia di dati che di percentuali di commissioni) impoverendo gradualmente le economie locali. Inoltre, quanti sono i commercianti o i proprietari di business che veramente sanno utilizzare i nuovi strumenti digitali per potenziare la propria offerta? In che modo questi servizi si rendono veramente utili alle attività reali? Lo fanno definendo i loro servizi come gratuiti, ma sappiamo che in realtà non lo sono. Le nostre informazioni e la nostra attenzione infatti sono le risorse più importante che abbiamo. Noi proponiamo un'infrastruttura che faccia rimanere i dati totalmente all'interno di queste nicchie locali, uno sviluppo che sia decentralizzato e incentivato dall'aiuto degli stessi utenti, un sistema che ricompensa i veri protagonisti delle economie locali e delle percentuali di commissione sui nostri servizi nettamente inferiori alla concorrenza. Possiamo offrire servizi di reservation, food delivery, stock provisioning a prezzi nettamente inferiore proprio in virtù della nostra architettura snella e condivisa. Incentiviamo inoltre lo sviluppo delle economie locali attraverso gli stessi abitanti di tali aree. Cosa significa tutto questo? Che attraverso il nostro EWA token verranno ricompensate le persone che stimoleranno le call to action a particolari servizi, che sapranno ricoprire il ruolo di opinion leader all'interno della comunità locale e che andranno ad ottimizzare il ROI della promozione locale impersonificando il ruolo di "micro-influencer". I business possono allocare delle risorse finanziarie da distribuire automaticamente agli utenti che stimolano grazie ai loro consigli e condivisioni altre persone a comprare servizi e prodotti. Il tutto in modo altamente automatizzato, totalmente criptato e in grado di ridurre a zero le distrazioni.

Che pagamenti integreremo nella nostra rete?
I chatbot e i servizi di Localflow saranno acquistabili tramite EWA token il quale, come detto prima, sarà anche il token che ricompenserà l'utilizzo virtuoso dei servizi di Localflow. Inoltre supporteremo pagamenti in IOTA e FIAT tramite un nostro wallet multi-valuta già realizzato e in fase di testing interno.

Perchè utilizziamo IOTA?
Perché le transazioni in IOTA sono istantanee e a 0% di fee. Inoltre tramite alcune tecnologie di IOTA come i flash channels possiamo usufruire di canali preparati ancora più veloci. Noi reputiamo che la tecnologia DAG sia l'unica adeguatamente scalabile e idonea al pagamento all'interno delle economie locali reali.

Hi guys! What's up?
I have one question:
Is there a platform that allows you to publish your own patent, idea or project to receive funds? Let me explain: is there a space where an engineer or inventor can share his work without having to follow all the bureaucratic path normally necessary to receive funding? It would make no sense to create an ICO for a simple invention or for a single patent. I wanted to know if there was anything that could create a crowdfunding network similar to the concept of kickstarter but with cryptocurrency and regulated by smartcontracts.

15  Economy / Economics / Crypto and old economy will continue to ignore each other? on: January 17, 2018, 12:34:48 AM
Goldman is setting up a Cryptocurrency Trading Desk. Ok it's old but... What will the prospects of this choice be?
Why did a group like Goldman make this choice? Will there be more attempts by banks and financial institutions to make bitcoin more institutionalized? What should we expect from all this? can the blockchain world continue to ignore the "real" global economic market and vice versa?
When the old economy approaches these issues it seems that the strategies they set up are always very cautious and vague. Do not they believe it enough or do they have any plans to enter into a forced collaboration in the future with the help of politics or some future strategy? You can not find sufficiently informed articles on this subject. Everyone suddenly seems to realize that the bitcoin price rises and falls and public information constantly sees the crypto traders as a group of madmen who risk everything for "non-real investments". But it is hard to believe that the old system does not have a plan to enter at the right time in all of this or that it's not realizing the potential of the blockchain. Why this delay? What are they waiting for? Is the global crypto market strong enough to undergo future interference by the great powers? (I remind you that at the minimum announcement from China, the market suffers big repercussions)
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / [ANN][NEXT TOKEN LAUNCH] LOCALFLOW, the DECENTRALIZED CHATBOT PLATFORM on: January 11, 2018, 02:03:53 AM
LOCALFLOW
Token Launch Soon





Visit our website to get to know the team and to know all the information on LocalFlow. Now let me briefly summarize the project, through a very brief and intuitive explanation. The most detailed explanation can be found in the website White Paper in which will be explained all the technologies used, the methods of our token circle and the Use Cases. I find it useful, to explain the whole project in a pragmatic way, to try to answer all the questions that might arise to an unpublished user about new technologies regarding chatbot / blockchain etc. Our project will in fact be transversal, perfectly integrated with the new innovations in the field of IoT and understandable to anyone, even if not practical in the field of new technologies.


Why a chatbot platform?

Chatbots are automatic programs that run on messaging applications (Telegram, WeChat, Facebook messenger, etc.). They are already used by thousands of companies to perform customer service tasks or to respond quickly to user messages.


Why not an APP? The app market is saturated, users (according to recent studies) would only be able to download 0-1 apps a month while the attention paid to the messaging application is growing. We want to be present right here, where the attention is higher and where the method of communication is more fluid and effective for everyone.


What do we have more? Our chatbot will implement an architecture with Artificial Intelligence (R.A.N.) in order to understand what users are asking for using a natural language. This will allow us to use our service easily and without learning a line of programming language or complicated instructions.


Every owner of a company / local or any user who wants to publish a business (both public and private, both free and paid) can use our platform to create in a few simple steps a personalized chatbot that responds to customer questions, which allows you to book or sell the service or product you want to offer to the market.



How will any user find my chatbot?


The platform will contain a search engine to search for the requested service and ONLY in the required area. I give an example:


User writes a normal chat message to LocalFlow:


User: "whiskey and jazz in Berlin"
LocalFlow: here are some clubs that offer what you requested:
  • Gin cocktail bar, Postdamerplatz, Berlin. Link to the chatbot
  • Vice bar, Otto-Braun strasse, Berlin. Link to the chatbot
  • Berlin jazz club, Alexanderplatz, Berlin. Link to the chatbot
  • ...

User enters the chatbot of the "Vice Bar" of Berlin, the user can formulate any of the requests made available by the local:


  • price list and services
  • book a table for 2 people
  • offer 2 cocktails for 8 euros valid until 23:00
  • buy concert ticket
  • info on the venue, timetables, etc.
  • ...

With a few simple steps, the owner can customize his chatbot or even allow other users to optimize it through a reward.


The search will be possible through the MAM (Masked Authenticated Messaging, already used by Bosch in collaboration with IOTA) offered by IOTA, ensuring that all messages are automatically encrypted and transported safely. Any data, message or information will travel in parallel with the Tangle (the IOTA blockchain) making it accessible and decryptable ONLY to those who have permission from the owner of the information.


Why local and not global? How can my business benefit from this?


In this age in which information is always faster, connected and global we want to focus people's attention on what is happening around them. The Internet is the fastest and most complete way to search for information, but how many of these focus users' attention on local activities? How often do you not know what is happening in the city or do not know that a local makes a certain discount or initiative on a certain day? Advertise your content on activities / offers etc. it is very complex, as the market is increasingly saturated with information. To increase their visibility, companies are forced to hire new professionals in the field of web marketing, social marketing, web design, etc. with the risk that users do not even view their contents because they are tired of heavy and obsolete applications or large websites. Our search bar will show the events or activities located only in the requested area and will manage the information you want to give it with the maximum privacy possible. It will not push you to put like a page, it will guide you to activities and / or events you've been looking for even once.


Local businesses can then sell their products or offers directly from the chat rooms, using payments in fiat euro dollar (by credit card) or via cryptocurrency (IOTA or EWA). EWA is our ERC223 token based on the Ethereum smart contracts.



Why do we use blockchain and smart contracts? Why IOTA and EWA?


The platform will be connected to the Tangle (the decentralized ledger of IOTA) to offer an updated service with new technologies and perfectly in line with our purpose. The transactions will be regulated by smart contracts, they will allow you to customize your offers and reward users who advertise or share the chatbot of our local. IOTA is a cryptocurrency that circulates on a distributed network: the tangle. By its nature the IOTA token circulates with commissions of 0%, avoiding the commissions of all the other blockchains and ensuring a more sustainable, secure and more compatible network with the IoT (Internet of Things). I want to create an event that can start with a minimum of 30 people? Users who want to book / sign up for the activity will anticipate the money that will be blocked in our system. If the event collects less than 30 accessions, the money (fiat, IOTA or EWA) will be returned to the users, while if there are 30 or more participants the payments will be released after confirmation via GPS (user request and not automatic) first participants. All this to avoid fraud events or activities and to define the traffic of the real participants and not of the users who "would participate" without actually being present. The payments in IOTA compared to those in fiat (EUR / USD) will be incentivized as they are subject to a 0% fee, while payments in EWA will be further incentivized with additional discounts on the transactions. There will also be an IOTA / EWA / FIAT converter in its wallet to simplify the understanding of the mechanism and the exploitation of the service.


The smart contracts will also be used to distribute the rewards to all users who will encourage and share within the groups the use of the chatbot.


The owner of the local business will be able to allocate funds for advertising that can be distributed among all the members who will be able to bring real members to use the chatbot or to participate in the proposed events / activities. We call "Influencers" these users who encourage activities by sharing them within the network. Any improvements, both technical and commercial, will be rewarded within the platform.


Any user who adheres or helps to increase the visibility of my event / activity / venue will be rewarded at 0% commission and without disadvantage to other users. See some examples of usage from the use cases. A network, the tangle, which allows any local or business to offer services without the need for any intermediary, quickly, economically and transparently. A transparent, economic and fast network constantly updated with the technology that will be the main protagonist of the next web 3.0.



Local Flow will be the next ICO born from an Italian project (more precisely of Padua), and with international scope, which wants to revolutionize the way we communicate.

The world is increasingly connected to the Global allowing an increasingly frenetic and controlled exchange of information. Our idea is to shift users' attention from the global world to the LOCAL world and to what happens next to them.



All types of payment (FIAT, ETH, IOTA) will be available, encouraging more and more users to make and receive payments with IOTA token to fully exploit a decentralized 0% fee network.



Local exchanges, without commissions, safe and immediate

LocalFlow is a platform for creating fast and effective chatbots, deeply connected to local services, businesses and activities.

Boost local microservices: Promote your business and your activities, bringing offers and services directly to chats.

Incentive genuine activities: receive EWA tokens by contributing with chatbot modules, sharing activities and organizing meetups.

Perform zero-fee transactions: pay for local services and goods in IOTA. Track your transactions and convert value between EWA, IOTA and fiat currency.

High confidentiality benefit: communicates in the local ecosystem through IOTA's 'Masked Authentication Messaging'. Your data will only be shared if you want it (and get EWA token in return).


In the White Paper all the detailed information on the technologies used (chapter 4), all examples of how money would circulate (chapter 5) and all the complete information about the project. The ICO and token launch will start in the first quarter of 2018 and the first version of the platform already the first months of 2018. Our team is expanding and is gathering more and more advisors (Stefano Della Valle and Yessin Schiegg) and funds, trying to expand the pool of partnerships.

17  Local / Annunci / [ANN][NEXT TOKEN LAUNCH] LOCALFLOW, la piattaforma chatbot decentralizzata on: January 11, 2018, 01:53:18 AM
LOCALFLOW
Token Launch Soon




Scoprite Local Flow, la prossima ICO nata da un progetto italiano e con respiro internazionale che vuole rivoluzionare il modo in cui comunichiamo.
Il mondo è sempre più connesso al Global permettendo uno scambio di informazioni sempre più frenetico e controllato. La nostra idea è di spostare l'attenzione degli utenti dal mondo globale al mondo LOCALE e a quello che succede vicino a loro.
LocalFlow sarà la prima piattaforma, all’interno di una rete decentralizzata, per la realizzazione di chatbot adatte a pubblicizzare e sostenere un’economia prettamente locale, con un alto standard di privacy.

Visitate il nostro sito per conoscere il team e per conoscere tutte le informazioni su LocalFlow. Passo ora a riassumervi brevemente il progetto, attraverso una spiegazione molto riassuntiva e intuitiva. La spiegazione più dettagliata la potrete trovare nel White Paper del nostro sito internet, nella quale verranno spiegate tutte le tecnologie utilizzate, i metodi di circolo del nostro token e gli Use Cases. Trovo utile, per spiegare l’intero progetto in modo pragmatico, cercare di rispondere a tutte le domande che potrebbero sorgere ad un utente non ancora informato sulle nuove tecnologie riguardanti chatbot/blockchain ecc. Il nostro progetto infatti sarà trasversale, perfettamente integrato con le nuove innovazioni nel campo delle IoT e comprensibile a chiunque, anche se non pratico nel campo delle nuove tecnologie.

Perchè una piattaforma di chatbot?

Le chatbot sono dei programmi automatici che girano sulle applicazione di messaggistica (Telegram, WeChat, Facebook messenger, ecc.). Vengono già utilizzate da migliaia di aziende per svolgere le mansioni del servizio clienti o per rispondere rapidamente ai messaggi degli utenti.

Perchè non una APP? Il mercato delle app è saturo, gli utenti (secondo i recenti studi) si limiterebbero a scaricare 0-1 app al mese mentre è sempre più grande l’attenzione riservata alle applicazione di messaggistica. Noi vogliamo essere presenti proprio qui, dove l’attenzione è più alta e dove il metodo di comunicazione risulta più fluido ed efficace per tutti.

Cosa abbiamo in più? La nostra chatbot implementerà un’architettura con Intelligenza Artificiale (R.A.N.) in modo da capire quello che gli utenti chiedono utilizzando un linguaggio naturale. Questo permetterà di utilizzare il nostro servizio in modo semplice e senza imparare una riga di linguaggio di programmazione o complicate istruzioni.

Ogni proprietario di un’azienda/locale o qualsiasi utente che voglia pubblicare una attività (sia pubblica che privata, sia gratuita che a pagamento) potrà servirsi della nostra piattaforma per creare in pochi semplici passi una chatbot personalizzata che risponda alle domande dei clienti, che permetta di prenotare o vendere il servizio o prodotto che si vuole proporre al mercato.


Come farà un utente qualsiasi a trovare la mia chatbot?

La piattaforma conterrà un motore di ricerca per cercare il servizio richiesto e SOLAMENTE nella zona richiesta. Faccio un esempio:

Utente scrive un normale messaggio in chat a LocalFlow:
Utente: “whisky e jazz a Padova”
LocalFlow: ecco dei locali che offrono quello che hai richiesto:
  • La Gineria cocktail bar, piazza delle Erbe, Padova. Link alla chatbot
  • Il Vizio, bar, via S.Biagio, Padova. Link alla chatbot
  • Padova Jazz Club, corso Milano, Padova. Link alla chatbot
Utente entra nella chatbot del “bar Il Vizio” di Padova, l’utente può formulare una qualsiasi delle richieste rese disponibili dal locale:

  • listino prezzi e servizi
  • prenota un tavolo per 2 persone
  • offerta 2 cocktail a 8 euro valido fino alle 23:00
  • compra biglietto concerto
  • info sul locale, orari, ecc.

Il proprietario potrà con pochi semplici passi personalizzare la propria chatbot o addirittura permettere ad altri utenti di ottimizzarla attraverso una ricompensa.

La ricerca potrà essere possibile attraverso la tecnologia MAM (Masked Authenticated Messaging, già utilizzata da Bosch in collaborazione con IOTA) offerta da IOTA, garantendo che tutti i messaggi vengano automaticamente criptati e trasportati in sicurezza. Ogni dato, messaggio o informazione viaggeranno in parallelo con la Tangle (la blockchain di IOTA) rendendosi accessibili e decriptabili SOLO a chi ha l’autorizzazione dal proprietario delle informazioni.



Perchè locale e non globale? Come può giovarne il mio locale/attività?

In questa epoca in cui le informazioni sono sempre più veloci, connesse e global vogliamo concentrare l’attenzione delle persone su quello che sta succedendo intorno al loro. Internet è il mezzo più veloce e completo per la ricerca delle informazioni, ma quante di queste focalizzano l’attenzione degli utenti sulle attività locali? Quante volte capita di non sapere quello che succede in città o di non sapere che un locale fa un determinato sconto o iniziativa in un determinato giorno? Pubblicizzare i propri contenuti su attività/offerte ecc. è molto complesso, poiché il mercato è sempre più saturo di informazioni. Per incrementare la propria visibilità le aziende sono costrette ad assumere nuovi professionisti nell’ambito del web marketing, social marketing, web design ecc. con il rischio che gli utenti nemmeno visionino i loro contenuti perchè stanchi di applicazioni pesanti e obsolete o di ampollosi siti web. La nostra barra di ricerca mostrerà gli eventi o attività localizzate solo nella zona richiesta e gestirà le informazioni che vorrai dargli con la massima privacy possibile. Non ti spingerà a mettere like a nessuna pagina, ne ti guiderà verso attività e/o eventi che hai cercato anche solo una volta.

I business locali potranno quindi vendere i loro prodotti o offerte direttamente dalle chat, utilizzando pagamenti in fiat euro dollaro (con carta di credito) o tramite criptovalute (IOTA o EWA). EWA è il nostro token ERC223 basato sugli smart contracts Ethereum.


Perché utilizziamo la blockchain e gli smart contracts? Perché IOTA e EWA?

La piattaforma sarà connessa al Tangle (il ledger decentralizzato di IOTA) per offrire un servizio aggiornato con le nuove tecnologie e perfettamente in linea con il nostro scopo. Le transazioni saranno regolamentate dagli smart contracts, contratti intelligenti che permetteranno di personalizzare le proprie offerte e di ricompensare gli utenti che pubblicizzino o condividano la chatbot del nostro locale. IOTA è una criptovaluta che circola su una rete distribuita: la tangle. Per sua natura il token IOTA circola con commissioni dello 0%, evitando le commissioni di tutte le altre blockchain e garantendo una rete più sostenibile, sicura e più compatibile con le IoT (Internet of Things). Voglio creare un evento che possa partire con un minimo di 30 persone? Gli utenti che vogliono prenotarsi/iscriversi all’attività anticiperanno i soldi che verranno bloccati nel nostro sistema. Se l’evento raccoglierà meno di 30 adesioni i soldi (fiat, IOTA o EWA) verranno restituiti agli utenti, mentre se ci saranno 30 o più partecipanti i pagamenti si sbloccheranno dopo la conferma via GPS (richiesta all’utente e non automatica) dei primi partecipanti. Tutto questo per evitare eventi o attività truffa e per definire il traffico dei partecipanti reali e non degli utenti che “parteciperebbero” senza realmente essere presenti. Verranno incentivati i pagamenti in IOTA rispetto a quelli in fiat (EUR/USD) perché soggetti ad una commissione dello 0%, mentre i pagamenti in EWA verranno ulteriormente incentivati con sconti aggiuntivi sulle transazioni. Sarà presente anche un convertitore IOTA/EWA/FIAT nel proprio wallet per semplificare la comprensione del meccanismo e lo sfruttamento del servizio.

Gli smart contracts serviranno anche per distribuire le ricompense a tutti gli utenti che incentiveranno o condivideranno all’interno dei gruppi l’utilizzo della chatbot.

Il proprietario del locale potrà destinare dei fondi per la pubblicità che potranno essere distribuiti tra tutti i membri che riusciranno a portare membri reali ad utilizzare la chatbot o a partecipare agli eventi/attività proposti. Noi chiamiamo “Influencer” questi utenti che incentivano le attività condividendole all’interno della rete. Qualsiasi miglioria, sia tecnica che commerciale verrà ricompensata all’interno della piattaforma.

Qualsiasi utente che aderisca o che aiuti ad aumentare la visibilità del mio evento/attività/locale verrà ricompensato a 0% di commissione e senza svantaggiare anche gli altri utenti. Guarda alcuni degli esempi di utilizzo dal sito. Una rete, il tangle, che permette a qualsiasi locale o attività di offrire i servizi senza necessità di nessun intermediario, in modo rapido, economico e trasparente. Una rete trasparente, economica e veloce in costante aggiornamento con la tecnologia che sarà la principale protagonista del prossimo web 3.0.


Local Flow sarà la prossima ICO nata da un progetto italiano (più precisamente di Padova), e con respiro internazionale, che vuole rivoluzionare il modo in cui comunichiamo.
Il mondo è sempre più connesso al Global permettendo uno scambio di informazioni sempre più frenetico e controllato. La nostra idea è di spostare l'attenzione degli utenti dal mondo globale al mondo LOCALE e a quello che succede vicino a loro.


Saranno disponibili tutti i tipi di pagamento (FIAT, ETH, IOTA), incentivando sempre più gli utenti ad effettuare e ricevere pagamenti con IOTA token per sfruttare a pieno una rete decentralizzata a 0% di fee.


Scambi locali, senza commissioni, sicuri ed immediati
LocalFlow è una piattaforma per la creazione di chatbot veloci ed efficaci, profondamente connessi a servizi, business e attività locali.

Potenzia i microservizi locali: Promuovi il tuo business e le tue attività, portando offerte e servizi direttamente nelle chat.
Incentiva le attività genuine: ricevi EWA tokens contribuendo con moduli chatbot, condividendo attività e organizzando meetups.
Esegui transazioni a zero fees: paga i servizi e i beni locali in IOTA. Traccia le tue transazioni e converti valore tra EWA, IOTA e moneta fiat.
Beneficia di elevata riservatezza: comunica nell'ecosistema locale attraverso il 'Masked Authentication Messaging' di IOTA. I tuoi dati saranno condivisi solo se lo vuoi (e ottieni EWA token in cambio).

Nel White Paper tutte le informazioni dettagliate sulle tecnologie utilizzate (capitolo 4), tutti i casi esempio su come la moneta circolerebbe (capitolo 5) e tutte le informazioni complete inerenti al progetto. La ICO e il token launch partiranno nel primo quadrimestre del 2018 e la prima versione della piattaforma già i primi mesi del 2018. Il nostro team si sta espandendo e sta raccogliendo sempre più advisor (Stefano Della Valle, Jacopo Tagliabue e Yesin Schiegg) e fondi, cercando di ampliare il bacino di collaborazioni e partnership.
