CLOUT aims to become the standard in quality for everything crypto; news, media, and investment.
It is an online based integrated software that gives cryptocurrency investors a home.

CLOUT Video

THE DETAILED VERSION

CLOUT is a blockchain database that promotes the cryptocurrency community’s growth and
commitment to providing users with quality information in this massively growing space. The
platform combines a social media concept with roots in users generating their own content to share
with the added functionality of monetizing the online content market, specifically related to
cryptocurrency.
CLOUT is the first of its kind in the new and rapidly growing world of crypto. Currently, there is no
other reputable tool to bring users quality information. For the first time, each and every member of a
user generated content community will be financially incentivized to consistently monitor the
platform for quality content. CLOUT will be the authority on monetizing online content and
providing crypto investors with a home for all news and media crypto related.
CLOUT monetizes online content for users, incentivizing quality content. Using CLOUT’s daughter
token CLC, we reward users who provide valuable content contributions. Through this model, the
CLOUT network will eventually be the standard for media and information.

CLC

CLC is generated by holding CLOUT tokens in your wallet.  All CLOUT tokens purchased during the ICO will receive FREE accompanying CLC on a 1:1 ratio. Following the initial disbursement to ICO participants, CLC will generate on a staggered release schedule. For 1 year following the ICO, 1 CLOUT token will generate 1 CLC per year. The following year, 1 CLOUT token will generate 1 CLC every 2 years. This will continue systematically until 1 billion total CLC are generated. CLC becomes more scarce and more valuable over each passing year



CLOUT SECURITY

1. ERC-223 Token
The CLOUT ecosystem is based on an open source cryptographic ERC-223 token named CLOUT
(CLOUT Token). CLOUT is fractionally divisible, transferable and fungible.

2. Homomorphic Encryption
Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption that allows computations to be carried out on cipher
text, thus generating an encrypted result which, when decrypted, matches the results of operations
performed on the plaintext. This is a desirable feature in modern communication system
architectures.

CLOUT TOKEN DISTRIBUTION METHOD

CLOUT’s 100 million tokens are allocated to three categories:

1. 1st Allocation- 10 million tokens (crowdfunding)
3 million tokens (3%) will be distributed during the Pre-ICO at $1/ CLOUT
4 million tokens (4%) will be distributed during Phase 1 ICO at $2.50/ CLOUT
2 million tokens (2%) will be distributed during Phase 2 ICO at $5/ CLOUT
1 million tokens (1%) will be distributed during Phase 3 ICO at $10/ CLOUT



2. 2nd Allocation- 70 million tokens
10 million tokens (10%) will be used to motivate the CLOUT developers and executives over
time.
10 million tokens (10%) will be vaulted in cold storage
50 million tokens (50%) will be distributed to the CLOUT network.
A. 10 million tokens will be used to motivate developers and pay bounties used to develop
the CLOUT network.
B. 20 million tokens will be used to cross-invest in other block-chain projects, owned by
CLOUT execs and only used for CLOUT projects.
C. 10 million tokens will be retained in order to reinvest into the ICOs promoted on the
CLOUT network.
D. 10 million tokens will be held on “standby” which are ready to be released into the market
immediately to protect the users and the network from hacks and phishing attempts.

3. Third Allocation- 20 million tokens
10 million tokens (10%) locked in cold storage only to be released via smart contract
2 million tokens (10%) to be released every 1 year over the next 5 years, based on certain
milestones in the CLOUT roadmap being achieved.


CLOUT PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT

The CLOUT Network is more than just an idea. We have already begun developing the CLOUT
platform. We are focused on creating a revolutionary platform with maximum functionality for the
user our top priority. CLOUT functions differently from other blockchain networks by its design.
The coding reflects these difficult and intricate advancements within the system.
The CLOUT Network will run the following programming languages:
Angular 2
Python
PosgreSQL
Ethereum Smart Contracts
Our vision for utilizing the blockchain with CLOUT is revolutionary. In terms of storage, the
CLOUT Network is going to use decentralized distributed storages such as IPFS and FileCoin.
CLOUT developers will incorporate distributed application execution and are monitoring many major
distributed computation platforms such as the Golem Network. CLOUT plans on hosting major parts
of the system on such platforms once they are in the production-ready phase of development.
CLOUT smart contracts functionality will reset the standard. Being able to release tokens at a
decaying rate over time is a new advancement in smart contracts that allows CLOUT to help protect
users. Investors no longer will lose contributions immediately after an ICO following a massive selloff
of tokens at one time.
CLOUT smart contracts developed using:
Solidity v.0.4.13
JavaScript Truffle + Mocha (for automated tests)


ROADMAP


FUNDING BREAKDOWN

The CLOUT projects expected the use of proceeds from the crowd sale, assuming $33M USD is
raised.
• 40% Growing CLOUT brand
• 30% Research and Development
• 15% Employee Salaries
• 10% Misc.
• 5% Legal

Marketing: Our marketing efforts include enhancing cooperation with potential new members and
operators to allow as many to join the platform as possible. Additionally, we plan to focus our efforts
on marketing CLOUT to broad audiences with traditional social media platforms.

R&D: The CLOUT network will be on the cutting edge of today’s technological advancements.
Funding to develop the platform as well as the CLOUT token and CLC daughter token and all of their
many vast functionalities.
Employees: Developing the CLOUT platform involves considerable time and energy. This component
includes all of the members of the CLOUT team salaries including the developers of the tokens,
platform and open source app.
Miscellaneous: For unexpected financial situations, or if any other category’s total cost was
underestimated.
Legal: To retain legal counsel for the CLOUT network.
*The expected breakdown above may be altered as the project progresses*

How to invest in CLOUT?

CLOUT is having its ICO soon! The first Phase starts on October 27th, but there’s a Pre-ICO for the early birds and accredited investors. Check out the ICO section for all of the details!

ERC-223 tokens are still not compatible with many big exchanges. So would you consider downgrading the token to ERC20 if the same thing continues?

Hi
Thanks for reaching out.
We are in direct contact with ethereum team and this is a very common question.They have assured us that everything will be smooth in a month and this token will be far superior.
We are very confident that it will done. If in case something doesnt workout, we will adopt .
Cheers

Hi
Thanks for contacting !
Indonesian Translations reserved for you. 1000CLOUT Tokens for it.
Cheers

What will happen if not all tokens will be sold? Will they be destroyed?

Hello,
Yes, the unsold tokens will be burned.
Cheers

[MelodyCrypto]

wow revenue share because become token holder. i like this same as automatic income
what is ERC20 and ERC223 different bro ? i do not understand about this

[whoeier]

Hey guys,

If translation are required to Dutch ( + thread management in sub-forum), give me a heads up.

Besides this, I find it awesome to see an launch on ERC-223, I wish you good luck and I'll be following closely

[ealarry]

How does the media disperse the word? Do not understand the block chain in the media industry applications

[greenbuff]

Wow, this is the project I've been waiting for! Can't wait guys!

[greenbuff]

wow revenue share because become token holder. i like this same as automatic income
what is ERC20 and ERC223 different bro ? i do not understand about this

ERC223 is the code for crypto's that are protected from quantum computing. Which is basically the biggest threat to over 98% of crypto's out there right now.

Is there any plan to have some bounty campaign here?
I'll be waiting for more information provided in the first post.

Hi,
Thanks for reaching out.
Yes, we do have a bounty campaign here. I will update the post very soon.
