[ANN]🔵🔵 OYSTER 🔵🔵 Anonymous Storage Generates Revenue for Websites

[xpzycox]

This project is a very unique one for sure... Im not sure I even grasp the concept 100%.  Everything I do understand sounds great and I love the idea behind it all. Screw ads and captchas! lol I see this having big future especially being Tangled up with IOTA Tangle

"Website visitors contribute a portion of their CPU and GPU power to enable users' files to be stored on a decentralized and anonymous ledger. In return, such users indirectly pay the website owners for maintaining the storage of their data."

I have never seen this concept before, are there any competitors in this field?

Hi Guys, i am from Germany and i think your idea is great.
I am using different websites to storage my data, but i'm never sure if it's save enough.
Here is where your idea comes in. I think people will like it and people will use it.
Hope you have a great start if you need help to translate in German, i would give it a try.

No, this is a completely new concept and there are no similar projects. However Oyster simultaneously competes with BAT, Datum, Storj, Siacoin, Filecoin etc.

Despite the coinhive fraudulent usage recent news, the idea to mine coins instead of displaying ads to users could work in next future.
But will your solution give the opportunity to users to opt-out by paying, watch ads or any other more "standard" solution or it will be the responsability of the website owner to propose that and switch to the model according to users choices?

Yes, users can easily opt-out with a small consent notice that appears by default. If they deactivate the proof of work by manually opting-out, or their antivirus/browser extension blocks it, then the policy of the website will be activated which may or may not block/limit the content, require advertisements etc.

Why would you list them as main competitors?

Oyster is able to do what each of these projects try to do but better. On the other hand, they cannot individually compete back at Oyster because Oyster accomplishes three major things at the same time:

1) Anonymous Storage
2) Traffic Monetization
3) Decentralized Application backbone

To this extend, Oyster even competes with EOS according to point 3.

I wrote about competition in this interview: https://blog.icoalert.com/ico-alert-report-oyster-ffda53924db6

[Mstandish]

Only just found out about this one, glad there's another contender in this area as im sure ditrubuted file store is going to take off, but the question is who's gonna get the network effect as noone seems to have yet?

Ill be interested to see how this competes with filecoin,sia and maid

[Moonshine4321]

Very excited about the project, it must have been late last night when I applied for airdrop, I missed the part of posting here and already submitted the form, is there a way to update my response this project sounds awesome and I would hate to miss the drop. Im not much in technicals yet still learning, but I'll follow the project closely and look into ico.

[JK47XdeCrypT]

Very interesting project and team. I like the combination of IOTA and ETHEREUM and believe this can be a game changer in the future. Also nice logo and Marketing, because community is very important in this field.

Suggest OYSTER looks to:
Really empower the people to earn money for watching adds
Build a strong community of advertisers and publishers
Focus on real use cases and immediately start implementing
See how to work and embed bitcoin - in every project bitcoin should be looked into as our global store of value - LETS COLLABORATE

if you need Polish translation, let me know. I'm a native Polish speaker and I study english translation at one of the best Polish universities. I'm experienced in translatin almost every sort of text, like literatura, drama, legal translation, medical translation, poietry and many others. jf you are interested send me a private message.

[illiki23]

Ok.  I have decided to put some time into this coin.

Because coins like this are awesome.  They are very functional - so many people have so much CPU and GPU space to offer in terms of payment to help the web work but everyone is currently relying on advertisers to fund the web.  This solution not only pays website owners for user throughput but solves one of the funding problems by paying for things such as server space.

And it has a github!    

[styca]

Very interesting. IOTA and Ethereum are both great coins, and if Oyster can combine the powers of both in a single coin, this could well be a fantastic project. The bit about creating a revenue stream by adding a single line of code sounds fantastic, as ease of integration with crypto is a big barrier that is holding the industry back.

[cacingkremi]

I am sorry im just newbie,but i also believe this project has good potential to grow steady with reputable development team so that I will keep following this thread for further news and update..good luck with the project

[funcho]

im in
 
im interested
 
you got my attention

i started learning about icos about 1 month ago and i think im fit for supporting new technologies
with my right to vote #

there is only 2 things i never feel comfortable in sense of user experiance
reddit and telegram
its just too unorganized when you ask me i join and i get confused by too much input

Is there still room for translation? I speak Italian, let me know if possibe

[Fliegender Schnee]

 IOTA and ETHEREUM are a very interesting combination I am looking forward to. Besides, I am looking forward to the start and wish you good luck!

[blozo]

Hello all, the project seems interesting for two main reasons:

- Advertising market is really huge (currently almost google and facebook monopoly) and it is keen to take advantage of the blockchain technology
- use of IOTA and Ethereum technology

[boscoarinze]

Though the ideas behind this project sounds great but would like the Dev Team to putting more efforts to distgush this project from others.Lots of the projects in cryptospace are banned to fail because when there is no serious dedication Team the project is meant to fail

[hous26]

This is genius!  So ad-blockers cannot block the usage of users CPU and GPU's as they visit the site? 

I personally wouldn't have any objection to supporting a website I visit with a nominal use of my hardware so long as it doesn't increase my electricity bill or slow my computer down.  I like this a lot and will be following.
