It's a nice idea however I feel you're creating a solution in search of a problem.

Any links to team bio?

I love this concept, Yelp and even Google Maps, as large as they are still fail to get me exactly what I am looking for. They are ripe for disruption and flipping the script to focus on products (meals) as opposed to places has a good chance to do I think. When I was visiting Napa last weekend, we wanted find the best smoothie. Yelp sent me to a location that had closed six years ago. Google Maps wanted me to drive 25 miles away. That night we wanted to find a GREAT bottle of gin, again, yelp and google maps were unable to process my request effectively.

Agree. What's the point? Removing features is not innovation IMO.

will be there any bounty like translation ?
if that bounty available can i reserve for indonesian languange ?

[halaby_avi]

I'll have to download the app to check it out, but on the surface, this seems like a great idea. I'm constantly failed by Yelp and the broad ratings that users give. I may not be as picky as somebody else is about service, or ambience, noise, etc. When it comes down to it, it's the food that I'm concerned with. I'm constantly scrolling through endless photos on Yelp, most of which are garbage. With a photo-based app specifically about food, I feel like I'll get a much truer representation of what I'm in search of.

this could work... looking for a good place to eat while abroad is not as easy as it seems. and many times it would have been better to eat at the hotel

[halaby_avi]

I have a few friends who are social influencers (Instagram food accts with 20k+ followers). Does Munchee make it easy to set up collaborations with influencers, and would you compensate in Munchee Token?

Hey i really like the idea of the project, but  some info about the coin would be great. Is this coin a bitcoin fork or a etherums contract?
Also i don't get it how you want to prevent false reviews. Are the reviews of the dishes/restaurants checked, before the author is credited with mun?

[sver2000]

Hello,

Thanks for your question. It is Ethereum Contract. We are planning to implement peer review system to make sure that reviews is not a false review. Some of the obvious false review can be rejected based on some key words and checking whether the submitted photographs are genuine. Also, we will store the fingerprint of the accepted reviews on the Blockchain so that we can audit them later.

I hope that this answers your questions,

Best regards,

Sanjeev

Thanks for your question. This is Ethereum contract.
In order to prevent false reviews, we have a peer-review system in which users can check the validity of the post based on criteria like the existence of the restaurant, the address of the restaurant, whether the dish exists on the menu, etc. Once the post is validated, it will be posted on the blockchain and the poster will get tokens for successfully submitting a valid post. Also, to encourage quality content, users, whose posts receive the most likes and "pins" in a payment period, will be rewarded with extra MUN tokens. That way, not only users are rewarded for submitting valid content, they are also rewarded for contributing QUALITY content; content that the community finds useful.

You can find more details regarding how to prevent false and fake reviews on page 12 in our white paper at https://s3.amazonaws.com/munchee-docs/Munchee+White+Paper.pdf. Thanks!

Seriosuly, can 1 person explain  why my mom or dad would use this app? Doesn't seem like a real mass appeal thing.
