[ANN][ICO] Sphere - Decentralized Social Networking >200,000 users

At least the data privacy advantage of sphere will be a good argument to change.
But untill then the project needs money and a good start to publish a product which got features the people expect from a social NW platform.

data privacy only matters to a small group of people. but it is a start. draw those people in and get bigger, then move to draw in others.

Sad but true. Most people are ignorant when it comes to data privacy. You need a different killer feature to draw people away from Facebook.

And you said, it seems most people don't really care anymore about their privacy. A good example is WhatsApp, I think. Even though there are more secure messenger apps, people wanna stick to WhatsApp. Sphere has really a long way ahead, but I am confident they can do it.

How long is their platform running already? I wonder how many users are joining monthly and how long they needed, to get to the current number of registered users.

Their website was created in August 2017, so that's probably the time when everything had started

Well, social platforms are usually giving away more private data and they are all public and easy reachable, while in other websites, they should be more secured but you still never know, what are the owners doing with it.

how many users are now at the spehere social plattform active?

anyone got numbers?

I don't know how many are active, but these are the total numbers posted by Sphere_Official:

Greetings to all Sphere Supporters!

We actually have more than 500k users that registered for SAT now.

We are glad to report our progress is growing since we are drawing closer to the ICO.

Some of our users have been inquiring about the status of the Pre-Sale as of late. So we feel obliged to shed some light on these questions.

Starting with statistics about the Sphere App.

So far, we have over 40 thousand users on the App. This generates plenty of activity — so we are pleased to report the following numbers:

There have been 27,326 photos uploaded.
606 videos shared.
384 groups created.

This is a good sign that app users are anticipating our marketplace.
We also now have over 6800 community in our telegram.

Here is some data about the amount of SAT we have distributed thus far:

We have reached our minimum soft-cap as well with over 1.5 million USD raised.

Roughly 70 million SAT, or 11% of our SAT hard cap has been sold in the presale so far.

Please stay tuned for more updates.

The numbers are satisfactory and reflect the work of the Team in this. I do not know if the airdrop was official, but if so, is there a percentage to report on the coins distributed free of charge and those that were sold?

Who tried their app? This working good? Its full version or demo? Share impressions, please 

The application looks and works very well, and is very easy to use.
Try it, you will not be disappointed.
I have a question for devs:
Will the social platform be available for the browser or just for mobile devices?

[OZmaster]

What is the token price now?

Presale price $0.05 per 1 SAT
Ico price $0.14 per 1 SAT

Very big difference. What is the percantage of the tokens will sell on presale? And also are there any locking period for buyers on presale?

That's indeed a massive difference between presale and ICO. Is there also a tiered structure during the ICO or is it all $0.14?

How do you calculate $0.05?
According to https://sphere.social/de/presale/ there's different prices.

maybe with the 60% or 70% Bonus fpr Big Investors

Hopefully there are no people just buy a high amount with 70% bionus to sell it fast.
Normally the project try to avoid this.

That would require the team to agree on vesting periods with large scale strategic investors. Not sure if that happened or not, but if it didn't that could lead to massive sell pressure.

You are absolutely right. Maybe the transaction feature can be a killer feature which helps them to attract more users

As far as I know besides the android and ios version the platform is also available as a web version.

You are right they have a very gradual growth which is, of course, a good sign. Let's look how this develops until the end of the ICO.

On sphere.social you can login only to the token sale backoffice.
Do you know of other website for the social network?

People do not worry that their personal information can be used by attackers against themselves! But when they encounter this problem and then start thinking about safety!

[Francewhoa]

I feel like you are fundamentally misunderstanding what stage of development the company is in, and even what the purpose of an ICO is.

Good point that some readers might think I was referring to a developed product, not an ICO. I updated my post accordingly to clarify that my review is about the Sphere ICO, not about a Sphere developed and released final product.

You utter the words "for profit" as if they were some sort of crime.

I was not implying that. My point is that "usually" a corporation first priority is to hoard money. Not serve the users and protect their privacy. Compare to other ICO which are owned by not-for profit organization.

My point is that open source software are more secure. Because the code is available publicly. So it can not be review by the public. And open source software is usually focused on people-servant, instead of money-servant. Related video for users and buyers, about why not-for profit open source software is better for you at https://youtu.be/ZPPikY3uLIQ

How about we agree that we have different priority? Feel free to have your own priority. To each their own.

Open-source has its place, and it's certainly fun for those working on it, but there are benefits to not being open-source as well- namely fast, organized decision-making, and being able to pay the experts we need to make the code work, rather than just hoping someone will come along with the expertise needed.

I founded a corporation 23 years ago. Since then we where able to achieve all of these benefits with open source software. Have you previously successfully tried a business model based on fully open source software? Again how about we agree that we have different interest about the type of software and their respective future? Please do feel really free to not use open source. To each their own.
