[ANN] [ICO] [SCR] SCORUM | ⭐ ⚽ ⭐ ⚾️ THE FIRST SPORTS MEDIA POWERED BY BLOCKCHAIN

[John_Mct]

I'm guessing it's John McTavish that's handling this thread. How'd you meet the rest of the team and get on board?

That's quite the story but to make it short I've travelled quite a bit in Eastern Europe and made some great connections in the tech world by teaching English at a few of the tech firms in Minsk, Belarus. One thing led to another and the team at Scorum asked me to help out with some copywriting for them. After the mental whirlwind of catching up with the quickly changing landscape that is the current cryptocurrency world, I realized that this was really something worth being a part of full time (and TBH teaching verb tenses was getting a bit old...)

I've always loved reading and occasionally writing about sports online so this project is really engaging for me to be a part of.  There's still tons to learn but that keeps it fresh!

It was great to meet with the athletes for our video promo shoots!!

Your project look good, you have slack or discore ? Pls invited me. Thank you

We're all hanging out over on our telegram chat.

Do you guys plan on bringing in more advisors?

Sure, we plan to make it bigger, but only with people who will really bring something to the project. Not just putting their names on the board)

[John_Mct]

Let's get this train rollin with our first blog post over on Steemit.

We totally dig the work they've done to pave the way towards rewarding social media spaces so we're rolling out our project there and putting aside a fat Scorum Power token bounty that Steemians can participate in. Join up and follow along for all the dets.

I am guessing what is the base for tokens?
when token holder will be able to receive the first profit?

[John_Mct]

Meet up with our team at the ICO Battle in Moscow  tomorrow evening.

Those are some big name athletes. Pretty impressive.

Thanks, we on our way to adding more soon!

Sounds like a great time. I've also taught ESL, but I wasn't so lucky as you to meet such a talented team of tech entrepreneurs.

I'm guessing it would be over the line to ask how much you're paying world-class athletes?

The blogging platform seems pretty original. Is there a way to make money through it?

That's good to hear. They're there to advise, not as a wall trophy!

Sounds like quite an adventure. Thanks for the intro.

We see it as a way to integrate cryptocurrency rewards into the social media habits that are already part of sports fans' daily lives. It's not a get rich quick scheme. One of our founders is a long-time sports media journalist and he agrees that the time is now to disrupt the status quo in terms of compensation for sports writers. Readers get the work straight from the source and take part in the rewards system for things they're already doing (liking/up-voting, commenting, sharing)

Looking around the web at how publishing direct to reader systems are gaining traction (Steemit with their blockchain based platform and Medium with their "freemium" model) we see this as the clear direction at the moment and for the future.

It's definitely a right-place-right-time situation. Getting in during the early days of the start-up has been awesome because I get to work directly with the founders and pick their brains about every aspect of the project!!

That's definitely a big perk. I'm sure you will learn a lot from this experience.

Yeah I really like the way publishing/reading platforms are going. So there is a little bit of money to be made you're saying, but not career level?

[deeltje]

When will bounty compensation be released?

[GoBelle]

Do you guys have any plans to implement machine learning with your platform?

[okspam]

How'd the team come up with the idea for Scorum with the whole media infusion?
