[ANN] [ICO] Foreground -- Affiliate Marketing and Advertising On the Blockchain

[devis]

An update for everyone: We're in the process of wrapping up the final touches on the beta version of our product. We're excited to show it off to everyone. Keep an eye out for our public announcement!

That is super exciting to hear. Please keep us posted as the update goes live. I will share it with my network.

Yeah same here!

This is a great idea. Just curious -- How did you determine the value of your tokens in relation to ETH?

We priced the tokens at 0.08 ETH (not including bonuses) to give early advertisers a large incentive to use/burn their tokens for the discounts (since face value is 0.5 ETH). This helps us build the network more quickly, making the product better for everyone. Logically, if the network is successful, then the tokens should be bought by advertisers at around face value.

The face value of the token/coupon is arbitrary, and is related to the token supply.

Because the face value of the coupon is denominated in Ether, the tokens are worth more to advertisers if the price of Ether goes up.

Thanks for asking a good question.

The platform seems great, but I am a visual learner. Is there any way we could see images of what the platform interface may look like?

I love the idea but I would really enjoy seeing a concept of the software in action so I can understand how your vision will be put onto the screen.

Hey m3ta, thanks for the comment. The best place to go is the DApp itself --> www.app.foreground.io

You'll see there is a quick tutorial video on how to generate your own affiliate link to earn commissions for the Foreground token sale, as well.

We know its not super sexy (yet) but the functionality is there and you'll receive credit for any sales your link generated (just like in traditional affiliate marketing). Let us know if you run into any issues with the product.

Lastly, I would encourage you to join our slack channel and become part of our young community.

Best,

Scott

I tried this, and got an affiliate link with FPID=1 (the demo video had FPID=2).  Somehow I don't think I got a unique link tied to my Ethereum address.

Hi Oleander,

The link you received is definitely unique to your Ethereum address (the one that you used to send the 0 ether transaction). The FPID is an indicator of which promotion the link is tied to. If you look closely, I'm using the ropsten test network for the video, so there is no realtionship between the IDs in the video and the IDs that you'll receive using the mainnet application.

The link you received is definitely unique to your Ethereum address (the one that you used to send the 0 ether transaction).

Here is the affiliate link your system gave me:  https://foreground.io?FDPAID=1&FPID=1

Can you see why I might question whether it's unique and tied to my ethereum address?

Perhaps you could explain how this works.  If you can tell me the ethereum address this link is tied to, that would convince me.

Hi Oleander,

The referrer address for that link is 0x54daebc3ec3a693f876f90f52d11d3fd65c47498

There were a handful created after you, but you were one of the first, hence the low ID.

OK, thanks so much!  I'm convinced.

I want to confirm to anyone following this, that the referrer address is indeed correct.

Good luck with the ICO.  You have a working product, and you're solving a real problem.  I like the bootstrapping aspect of it... activating the product to assist in the ICO itself.

Thanks for the kind words, Oleander. We're definitely a lot more bootstrappy than most of the other ICOs. We really hope that sets us apart

This is great to have ads on blockchain. I've just visited your website and watched the quickstart tutorial video. The platform has user-friendly interface and quite simple for a starter. Very nice concept...will keep an eye on this project

[onetoniro]

please update news about this project, so we can put to our threat translation..
there is no update here, or twitter from 29 nov till today..

[cryptocoinfreak]

Is this still up? Why this silence? How can I join the slack channel? I see I need a foreground.io email address. Is that correct?

[bezerk]

Any update on this? i think we got scammed. I cant get on the slack, no updates on twitter, no updates on blog. radio silience seems to me that they are long gone.
