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

[sambuki]

Is sphere planning to have their own blockchain, or will they be dependent on etherium network?

They mention token so probably ethereum.

SAT is an ERC20 token and yes, it will depend on ethereum network.

Any bounty for facebook and Twitter?

Yes, here is the bounty thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2437617

ICO ends on 26th February or this is ends of 1st round only?

1st round only, its written on their site.
And Period of Sale: 12 February 2018 UTC 21:00 to 9 April 2018 UTC 21:00 

it's gonna take a long time for this sale to end. I'm really curious about how the price of this token will do after the ICO.

There will be four rounds for the token sale. The first one will end in around two days while the token sale will end at April, 9th. Each round has different bonuses as I know.

Rounds usually have different bonuses being the first rounds those that have the highest bonus to attract investors.

now they have around 45% bonus. and they already achieved their soft target so that's great.

Soft target reached. That's a good news for all bounty hunters

[mandibleclaw]

Before that you must ask yourself, are you a bounty hunter because you want to join an ICO but you don't have enough liquidity or because you just want to make some money right after ICO ?

This ICO round ends in couple of days, the sale slowed down. The fact that they reached the soft cap and already exceeded it is great, but are they doing any marketing at the moment in order to boost sales a bit more? There are three more ICO rounds...

He is probably asking a future swap, as far as i know there is nothing right now.

But they may change their minds in the future if ethereum blockchain won't be enough for them.

i think there are many competition in this socialmedia field.

Thanks for the updated information and explanation above. I tried to sign up this evening and could not get past the Captcha response. I clicked on the active fi field below and there was no response. Is it still possible to purchase presale SAT tokens?

I agree but there is a fine line between censorship and snuffing out the lowlifes that live to ruin other peoples day. Moderation is a better term than censorship in these circumstances.

Such problem exists in all social networks, at places where going discourses about politics, religion, or history there always will be individuals who will try to hook up and provoke another by imposing their version of the truth.

yep happens everywhere. it's up to the moderation team to discuss and implement a cohesive policy.

Sure, there should be a kind of censorship in this network. However, the devs have to be cautious in terms of not being out of line in this stuff.

Sphere is certainly the kind of project that requires continuous work, in all stages of Ico and after it, Team seems to me aware of realizing a platform that covers the failures of today's networks, surely it is necessary to include ways to inhibit harmful behavior to other

Of course, censorship will have to be dealt with even in such a decentralized social network as the Sphere. Perhaps they could impose it on users. For example, a kind of dislike from the information, when a certain limit is reached, this information marked with dislike should be checked for compliance with the rules. Although this scheme also has drawbacks.

I also think that moderation is better than cersorship. I think censorship should only be in the most extreme cases.

Of course, but as for me, moderation is just a particular case of censorship in this case. Moreover, the latter can be done automatically, and for moderation we need people who will perform it.

You are right. I think we will need a system, where a content will be blocked, if 51 % of the users voted to block it. So you can avoid censorship from only a few privileged members.

Very interesting idea! A kind of controlling body that will monitor the information flow will be the users themselves! It's just brilliant.

But this can also lead to censorship of things the majority doesn't like. I think they should not concentrate that much on it.

I do not think it's a good idea that 51% of the users can vote to block content.
Everyone has his ideas, his principles, different characters.
Maybe some like something, others do not like it.
There is also the fact that someone has an altercation with someone else, and may want to block all their content.

in a sense, you are right, but do not forget that even the most decentralized network needs to be moderated, otherwise it is chaos!! And who can be a moderator not to lose the status of decentralization??? Only user! and only most!

Presale is over.
Currently it's running the round 1 of ICO with 45% bonus that ends in 2 days.

Make screens of platform inside please. How many users registered on decstop version already? Is there any statistics?

So far, I can see only how many members are online. And when I try to search for how many members already registered, I still can find it. Maybe such feature doesn't exist yet.

Im also trying the web version and was looking for similar information on the traffic as well but it seems there is none.

For what do you need the information about how many people are currently using the web app?  As they also have mobile apps I assume most people are using those. Beside that the all in all user number is most important, at least for me.

The only important question is how many people use it daily. The users which only logged in for one time will not bring revenue.

It will be tough to start growing user numbers, they'll need some big marketing campaigns. Maybe they're waiting with it until they introduce more features to the platform, so they have more to offer to potential users.

Maybe they will wait until the end of ICO when they have more money to develop these features and to start extensive marketing campaigns to attract more users.

There are a lot of ways to attract people to the working platform! Therefore, now their task is to concentrate on ICO. And after the launch of the platform to connect marketing to attract users!

Basically, they have to have time for both things to have good results. But at this stage, the devs should really concentrate more on how to do and afterwards for whom to do.

What's the significance? You could be both.
Once Sphere's token is up on the exchanges, the interplay between all the various kinds of investors/bounty-hunters naturally becomes the 'market'.

these are excellent news soft cap already reached and a good bonus to invest now (45%)in these two day that are remaining, i see that the good advertising continues https://icotop.io/en/project/sphere-social/...

after successful ico, that won't matter anymore. 

[helloal]

after successful ico, that won't matter anymore. 

I think, after a successful ICO, the Sphere community including the development team, investors and supporters must altogether unite to make this project more successful. I mean everybody must do their part for this project to accomplish its goals.

The community will need to celebrate and spread word of milestones and achievements.

they can take advantage of the opportunity of time to maximize promotion
maybe the next round of sales will be greeted more enthusiastically after seeing the success in round 1 and 2
the project team is working hard to keep investor confidence

Hitting the softcap target will eventually trigger more investors to fund this project with the fact that they know this project will push through with its development. That is good news.

Yes that is usually a good turning point which can convince more people to invest.
