what is the requirement to become your affiliate?

All you need to do to become an affiliate is to go to the Foreground DApp and generate a referral link for the advertiser that you want to promote. The Foreground DApp should be launched in the coming weeks, so we're already starting to build a list of affiliates who want to earn Ether by promoting ICOs and crypto merchants. If you sign up for our newsletter we will let you know when the DApp is live and you can start earning Ether as a publisher/affiliate.


That about sums it up Smiley. @feizy, once our app is live we'll have supporting documentations available and will also be able to assist you with your signup via slack or email.

okay not too bad to look at the project on this thread of course in this case I still need to see more about how it would be great to use it in the future. Make just some other examples

Our initial customers are anyone who sells goods (ICO tokens, crypto exchanges, hardware wallet retailers, etc...) for cryptocurrency. We allow these sellers to integrate our product directly into the smart contracts that receive their payments, providing them with an instant affiliate program. There are already 3 billion dollars worth of crypto transactions occurring (even excluding exchange transactions), and these sellers/merchants don't even have access to the most basic affiliate tools.

Our product is also broadly applicable to the general affiliate industry ($7 billion market). We can reduce costs in this space by establishing an efficient market for affiliate services using the blockchain as a common protocol that connects advertisers and publishers.

Crypt0e, Foreground plugs directly into the smart contracts that facilitate the advertiser's transactions. This allows us to log every transaction that occurs and provide affiliate's with a 100% accurate record of their conversions (this works beautifully for ICOs). This is dramatically different than the status quo, where the affiliate network usually has little-to-no integration with payment services the advertiser is using.

There are a lot of things we can do from an analytics standpoint. The Beta will provide more basic functionalities. As our userbase grows, we'll leverage the feedback from our community to build more elaborate and needed tools as requested to improve Foreground consistently as we move forward.

Like I stated in your bounty, I am liking the sound of this platform.

When do you anticipate the beta to be released so we can interact with it?

Thanks for the follow-up @ Cryptosaint$. We will be launching the product by having our ICO be the first ever affiliate campaign on our own platform to show future users and customers that we are confident in our solution and to get a feel for the implementation. That way, we can immediately work on improvements.

With that said, we are on schedule to release the platform and have affiliates sign up starting on November 28th (the start date of our ICO).

Hi advisorsetup, I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you be more specific?

Hi, guys, tell me where are you incorporated?

Hi wickedabc,

We are a company operating out of Chicago in the United States. Foreground is incorporated in the state of Delaware for legal reasons (as most United States tech startups are).

Very specifically, our office is here:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/11+E+Illinois+St,+Chicago,+IL+60611/@41.8906454,-87.6362069,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x880e2cade0c3760f:0x5487f3105e140498!8m2!3d41.890722!4d-87.627451

We love visitors, so if anyone is in the Chicago area and wants to drop by the office, please PM me. Smiley

Assuming you're asking what blockchain we use for our token? If that's the case, our token is ERC20-based (Ethereum).

Yes, both the token (ERC-20) and the platform are on Ethereum. This makes sense for us because ICOs are natural customers for us, and most ICOs are issuing ERC-20 tokens.

Awesome description. But leaning even further into the future, do you see your platform as only staying specific to ICO launches and the crypto-market? Or do you also forsee some other real world implications where digital marketers and brands can leverage it?

IMO its always extremely comforting to hear about an ICO and a company that actually has a real face and is willing to meet up with anyone who is interested.

The ICO market is getting so damn muddy now a days.

So this is really refreshing Smiley

That is a very interesting idea! Love it. If there is one thing publishers are bad at, it is being transparent. Sure there are power-houses like Google Adwords that are transparent to a high degree, but the smaller ad networks are sadly not always as transparent - this cuts right through that so that publishers and advertisers can trust eachother. Well done!

When do you estimate having a working prototype ready by?

Appreciate it! We completed a prototype in May of this year and will publish our Beta in the coming weeks. We're already taking emails for signups for both ICOs and Affiliates who want to use our platform once we launch. You can find the email signup on our website Smiley

The number one thing that I love so much about this idea is that you already have a working prototype. Knowing that gives me a lot of comfort that I can trust this ICO and idea. Great work!

Thanks @devis - we're really excited about getting the product live soon, getting feedback, and improving it.

We've also made some edits to our homepage with more info about the roles (advertiser vs. affiliate etc.) that you should check out.
