Whitepaper - Smart Contract - Specifications - Roadmap - Request CLIXToken




What is CLIXToken?
CLIXToken is a global and fully transparent cryptocurrency for all Paid to Click websites.
It is built on top of the proven Ethereum network as an ERC-20 compliant token which
means we can use it in the future in all Paid to Click and Get Paid To related decentralized
applications and services that run inside the Ethereum virtual machine.

Technical specifications

Total supply: 200,000,000
Total distributed: 170,000,000
Developer's reward: 20,000,000
Bounties: 10,000,000
Airdropped: 10,000 tokens exclusively to PTC website owners
Burnable: no
Public sale: no




Why use it?
The Paid to Click industry as a whole is heading towards a downward spiral mainly due to
large amount of scam websites and centralized e-currencies like Liberty Reserve
being shut down. There's very little trust left in the Paid to Click industry and we believe
a truly decentralized cryptocurrency will help eliminate a lot of the negative aspects of
Paid to Click websites (Full analysis in our Whitepaper)

Main benefits for Paid to Click owners

1. ERC-20 tokens are very popular right now so
when you reward your users in CLIXToken,
a token specifically meant for PTC websites, you
are attracting a much wider audience than before.

2. Show your users that you can be trusted when
you use a fully transparent cryptocurrency
where payment proofs cannot be faked.

3. Replace the points system on your website with
CLIXToken instead. This way you will use
a token that has roughly the same value throughout
the network of websites that use it.

4. Affiliate networks don't like cash incentive websites.
CLIXToken is not cash so you can now
promote offers that weren't available to you before.




How to get CLIXToken?
We are going to give 10,000 CLIXToken to every Paid to Click and Get Paid To
website that requests it. No strings attached. If you are not a PTC/GPT website owner then
you will need to wait until your favorite website starts using CLIXToken to reward you.
It works pretty much the same way as other types of e-currencies: You watch ads on a
PTC website and then you withdraw your earnings in CLIXToken.

Please note that there will be no public airdrop for CLIXToken due to the nature
of the token itself. Since CLIXToken is meant to be used to reward people who view
advertisements on Paid to Click websites, it makes sense to only provide CLIXToken to
Paid to Click website owners who can then start using it to reward their users.

Please use the request form found on our main website.




What's the significance?
At first glance you may ask yourself: what's the big deal? It's just another token, right?

Well, yes and no. While it's true that at present time CLIXToken is simply another ERC-20
token, we have envisioned a real utility for it in the future when we release a truly
decentralized Paid to Click service that runs inside the Ethereum virtual machine.
Modern businesses are all gradually moving their platforms into the "new internet" so it makes
sense that Paid to Click services will follow.




What is a Paid to Click anyway?
At its core, every Paid to Click service is simple: an advertiser posts an advertisement
and users view that advertisement to earn money (each click earns them about $0,001).

Back in the day this was actually something that worked pretty good. But nowadays
there are just too many scam websites popping up everywhere so the average user really has
nobody to trust. You know exactly what I mean if you have ever worked on a
Paid to Click website for months and then discover that the admin has decided to shut it
down without paying anyone.

Things like this happen way too often and it's time for us to do something about it!




Proposal: A Decentralized Paid to Click service
In a decentralized Paid to Click this above process will be completely transparent
and therefore things like bots, fake payment proofs, admins not paying, etc. are going to
be eliminated entirely. This is possible thanks to the Ethereum network and Smart Contracts
that work exactly as programmed without the risk of being manipulated or tampered with.

For example the advertiser will create a smart contract and deposit some CLIXToken to
cover the rewards. Now when a user views the Smart Contract's advertisement, the
Smart Contract makes sure to send the reward to the user on the behalf of the advertiser.
This way nobody can suddenly "decide" to not pay the viewer. The viewer will always get paid!

financial loss that happened as a result of the Liberty Reserve shut down.

Remy Berrevoets (Head of Marketing) is a full time internet entrepreneur and has been
involved with countless of Paid to Click websites like 5centminimum, No-Minimum, Global Cash Clicks.
Remy is also a part of the Multimoney Group alongside big names such as DonkeyMails,
JillsClickCorner and MyFreeShares just to name a few.

Alessio Mercurio (Developer, Beta tester) has worked his whole life as a computer
technician and developer. He entered the crypto world 3 years ago and started studying Blockchain
technology. He is a full time trader and Smart Contract developer since 2017.




Our mission
The goal of CLIXToken is to eliminate fraudulent activity that is around the Paid to Click industry
by providing Paid to Click website owners a fully transparent cryptocurrency that they can use
to reward users for viewing advertisements.

In the short term we hope to see more and more PTC websites hop on board with us and request
their initial free CLIXToken to fill their supply. We are just about ready to go live later this month
but first we need to see at least some amount of interest in our token. We have tested it in Ropsten
testNet for a while and have made numerous adjustments to our Smart Contract to make sure
it will work as intended once it is released on the mainNet.

In the longer term we will of course look for opportunities to enter the exchanges market
however this is not our priority for the time being.

the PTC industry is really big in the current times. but entities involved are not fairly compensated because of hierarchy?? maybe its time to revolutionise this industry thru blockchain.
clixtoken users should be many to make this valuable for ptc owners. will look forward how many ptc owners will utilise your platform...

It's true that the amount of websites in the ptc industry is at an all time high. It's also true that most of these websites will be closed within a couple of years either because the owner is a scammer or because they rely on centralized e-currency platforms that can disable their accounts for no reason and the owner of a ptc simply goes bankrupt.

When Liberty Reserve was shut down I took a pretty big loss (I know, I was a fool for keeping all of the profits in a single platform) and ended up paying a lot of my loyal members out of my own pocket. This loss eventually led me to close the website. I'm sure there are people here who remember this.

I have recently relaunched GPTOffers and this time made it CLIXToken exclusive. We'll see if it becomes popular or not 🙂

This is good for generating traffic and improving SEO , it can be automated through app that automatically :
searchs the website name and access it via google and automatically jumps to next website  , .

[CLIXToken]

We are glad to announce that the CLIXToken project has officially been launched on the MainNet which means any PTC website owner can request free 10,000 CLIXToken to fill their initial reserves.

Additionally we have started working on an add-on module for EvolutionScript because it is currently the most popular script used widely among the PTC community.

You write. "Overall, the Paid to Click industry is moving towards a downward spiral, mainly due to
a large number of fraudulent sites and centralized electronic currencies, such as Liberty Reserve
is turned off. There is very little trust in the Paid to Click industry, and we believe
a truly decentralized crypto currency will help to eliminate many negative aspects. "And this is really a big problem.Many coins and projects are currently fraudulent.

[CLIXToken]

Many coins and projects are currently fraudulent.

This is an excellent point and I have seen a few site owners look at our project the same way. I have been putting off trying to address this for some time now. Well, I guess it's time!

Yes. It's true that some 80% of ICO's launched in 2017 were scams.

First things first- we do not classify as an ICO since our token is never sold publicly. Furthermore, once the PTC owners start rewarding the token, the user clicking ads on the PTC is in complete control of how much token they earn (it is not controlled by us). And finally we are trying to do our best in explaining that the value of CLIXToken may very well never be more than 0. In other words we are not hyping anything.

We do plan on entering the exchanges market, but this will happen sometime in 2019 when we have our prototype Paid to Click DAPP ready and functional. The priority here is the utility, not launching the token on some exchange.


Of course none of this proves that we are not scammers!


I'm not sure anything can prove this other than time itself. In the beginning we are going to start rewarding CLIXToken on our own websites and we hope that in time other sites will follow. This will be an ongoing process.

I get approached by many "professional" crypto investors regarding this project and what's funny to me is that they immediately claim they can bring in new investors in exchange for some ETH or our token. This is funny (and sad at the same time) because if they would have bothered to read just a little further on our website they would have realized that this project is not a public sale. Yet, they still approach it like any ordinary ICO.

It's a very "niche" project that will be only accessible to Paid to Click website owners who we personally verify and whitelist on our smart contract. The contract will not function unless the address is whitelisted first. Of course anyone who receives the token from the PTC site owners can use it in any way they like.

What I am trying to say is that the majority of people never bother to look into the details of a project and immediately dive into the hype. Of course these people will lose everything and blame it on the system. It's the easy way out.

Warren Buffet once said something along the lines of "Never invest in a business you don't understand." Think about it. The guy is a billionaire so he must know a thing or two about investing

I really, sincerely encourage everyone to look into our smart contract's code. If anything seems off just ask us about it publicly. Or if you happen to find a bug we hope you will let us know also (hopefully in a PM so we can take appropriate action).



There are mainly 3 ways CLIXToken will reduce fraud within the Paid to Click industry:

1. Since the majority (85%) of our token is out of our control there is little to no risk we can one day artificially manipulate the price (IF there even is a price) in the future by dumping our token on the market.

2. The users are the only owners of their token and unless they lose or give away their private keys to their wallets, they will always remain the sole owners of their token. This avoids another "Liberty Reserve incident" where a centralized institution closes down and makes the money disappear.

3. Since every transaction is publicly accessible, malicious site owners can no longer rely of fake payment proofs to artificially inflate payout statistics in order to lure in new people.



You may ask yourself why not simply use Bitcoin?

Well, Bitcoin is very limited in what you can do with it. For example Bitcoin does not support smart contracts to the same extent as Ethereum does. This means that you cannot do things like Cryptokitties or Cryptozombies on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Ethereum on the other hand has its own high level programming language and developers can deploy all sorts of interesting applications on the blockchain. Additionally it has hundreds of thousands of active developers playing around with it looking for bugs and fixing them. The Ethereum platform has proven to be a good place to launch a reliable decentralized application and our token will simply be the cryptocurrency of choice for future Paid To Click related dapps. (this is why we don't simply use Ether either).

I'm a strong believer in Ethereum and personally I see half of the internet running on the Ethereum Virtual Machine years from now! But again only time will tell if this will really happen.
