I hope you get paid, it's been a long wait.
Yep, ty ! I think so Nearly four days i've asked for a withdraw, process is launched but ... i still got nothing Did you get yours, @ Warfare ? No, I'm still waiting for the email that unlocks the tokens. Received !
I have taken note of the great improvement in communication since you came in, and I will let know that around me. After all, it's one thing to be demanding/uncompromising when not satisfied, but I think when service is good, i have to admit it !
Thank you, and good luck!
Congrats!

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Congrats! Hey Warfare! Could you message me on Telegram via @colinpape or email colin@presearch.io? Happy to look into it for you. Also, we're releasing a new automated system the first week of February that should speed things up and make them much more clear. Thanks! Colin

PRESEARCH BEST PROJECT THAT EXISTS ..GOOD PRESEARCH .. RECEIVED THE PRESEARCH THANK YOU
Ha! Thanks, Poll! I gave you a red trust for deceiving people that they will get paid until now it's been over 3 to 4 months and there is no news about my payout there are people complaining that people never get their rewards after a year of waiting, yes you are paying some so people will vouch for your project is a scam one.

Sorry, robelneo - this is not a scam. I've asked anyone here having issues to message me. I don't recall seeing anything from you. There are tens of thousands of people trying to scam the project, and just collect tokens. We've had to develop a complex automated system to protect Presearch, which is rolling out this week. If you want to wait until the system is live, you can. Otherwise, feel free to DM, email or message me on Telegram and I can take a look at individual cases. This Poll person is someone who was authorized to withdraw. No one asked him to post anything on our behalf. Thanks, Colin

Thanks, Colin I was asking legit questions on your telegram channel this is on behalf of those who participate and your project as well, because only a bot is answering in our queries, I'm surprised at what you claimed a big number of participants and yet you employ a bot to answer important questions. if you send one guy out of thousands who are waiting for his payout this doesn't make you legit in the eyes of participants, imagine there are people who are still waiting for over a year now, a bot cannot give a proper explanation for this.

Thanks for your feedback, robelneo. It's a bit of a complicated situation. I appreciate your perspective and understand it. Time will show that the dissatisfaction experienced was due to growing pains, but that ultimately, a solid value model arose and provided the project with a powerful growth engine. The primary telegram group is at https://t.me/presearch. The withdrawals-specific group you were on was set up in response to literally more than 10,000 people in 60 days hitting the main community channel with the exact same question 'when withdraw', and the community members getting sick of it and asking us to direct people to another group. It has taken us much longer than we anticipated to develop an accurate and scalable anti-abuse system to automatically curb abuse - people just mining the token. Had we have known it would take this long, we would have probably communicated things differently. Unfortunately, our earlier attempts at automating the token withdrawal platform let through too many people who were gaming the system. We now have a significant confidence factor in our automated results based on a multi-faceted risk assessment algorithm that can identify and score patterns and classify users accordingly into a scale that can be communicated clearly and minimize unwarranted withdrawals through floating thresholds. And for those edge cases when the system is wrong, we're implementing an anonymous appeals process that is handled by community members. There is a fee to request an appeal. Denoted and payable in PRE, of course. And if the appeal is successful, the payment is refunded and is covered by the project. That is our incentive to continue to make the algorithm more and more robust. The amount paid compensates the community reviewer. Anyway... Thanks again for taking the time to comment, and sorry for the poor early experience. Hopefully we get the opportunity to make it up to you at some point.

Greetings, Is it legitimate to think that you have been overwhelmed by the events? Have you never seen the eventuality that thousands of people were going to launch silly searches to get the 'promised' rewards? Maybe you have opened the door yourself to these derivatives, what do you think?

Have you never seen the eventuality that thousands of people were going to launch silly searches to get the 'promised' rewards? Maybe you have opened the door yourself to these derivatives, what do you think? Oh, absolutely. And it was anticipated that we'd have people trying to game the system. We just did not think it would get as big as fast as it did at this early stage, and there's been fallout from that lack of preparedness. Overall, it's a good problem to have, and the new system we are rolling out puts us in a strong position, because any blockchain reward / incentive program is going to have the same issues with gaming. But instead of relying on KYC to discourage abuse like most, we have an algorithm that is more effective and much less intrusive, which will lead us to mass adoption much sooner.

Are you guys a competitor of Bitclave? Which others would you also consider being your competitors in the space?
Yes, Bitclave would be a competitor. There are a large number of alternative search engines - ex. DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, startpage.com, and many others. Google of course. We are the only one with a working search engine that actually utilizes a token tor reward members and pay for ads though. I don't expect that this will be the case forever, but right now, we are leading the blockchain/crypto search space.

Ok I confess I didn't know how far you've gotten then as I lost some interest in decentralized search a while ago. It is probably the hardest space to conquer with google being in the driving seat. The synergies they can create with all the data they have are just amazingly strong. It may take decades to get even close to them, wouldn't it?

The synergies they can create with all the data they have are just amazingly strong. It may take decades to get even close to them, wouldn't it? Yes, it's a massive challenge, but also a huge opportunity. The space is so large and valuable, that you really don't need to dominate the category. We believe that due to our community-focused model and the integration of our PRE token to align everyone's interest, that we'll be able to make a significant dent over time. And besides, we don't need to beat Google - you can search Google through Presearch. We are just driving a thin wedge between people's existing search behaviour to minimize the friction. Once people start accumulating tokens, they have some skin in the game and are more willing to do some additional work, spread the word actively and build the network. We're on track to exceed the early growth of both Google and DuckDuckGo already, and we haven't really even tried to expand yet. We just did a major release yesterday of a new anti-abuse platform to prevent people from gaming the system. There's a bit of work involved to bring everyone up to speed, but so far the feedback has been largely positive. Now that it's in place, it's almost go time! Thanks for your interest! Please feel free to join at https://www.presearch.org if you like.

As for the skin in the game part that you mentioned, I generally agree with that. The only issue is that I read about some other platform which aims to monetize data, that the actual reward is just not really big enough to get the Western world to care about their search behavior. Are there any realistic quantitative examples you could provide?

Are there any realistic quantitative examples you could provide? Thanks, dzonikg28! Yes, I think that's definitely an issue to contend with, especially during crypto winter... I think we've been fortunate that many people believe Presearch has the potential to be highly valuable in the future, and are thinking more about the future value of their rewards than the current value... It seems to help a lot... But the other thing is that it's really about gamification - not just the monetary value... People like the real-time feedback they get when they search and the coin flips, and their balance is prominently displayed and increases constantly. We will also be creating different ways for people to spend their PRE and are focused on making it as easy as possible for them to convert their PRE to things they value significantly. On top of that, the platform itself does offer significant advantage for power users - we're basically providing people with a faster, easier way to search specific resources. Ex. I do domain name lookups, search our CRM system, our admin portal, etc., all from the same field, rather than having to bookmark them, wait for each site to load, click into the search field and search. Instead, I just pull up Presearch, type my query and then click the icon for where I want to direct my search. This doesn't appeal to everyone, but we've been impressed by how many people find it valuable. It's a nice little hack. And then there's our mobile app for voice search. Not sure if you're on iOS, but if so, you may want to check it out in the app store. There's an invite code - 'tapandhodl'... Basically, to search, you just tap the Presearch logo and hold it down while you speak... You can deep search various apps on your phone - ex. say 'Presearch Google Maps for buffalo, new york' and it'll launch Google Maps and run your query there. There are currently 80 or so providers in the system, but hundreds more are on the way. It's an exciting space to be in because it's so significant in scope and depth... Many, many opportunities to integrate tokenomics to create feedback loops that incentivize behaviour and generate value... As long as we denominate our sponsorships / ad units with PRE and make that the central unit of account, as the platform grows, the need for tokens will also increase. We are also seizing the opportunity to connect with people who are fed up with Google and Facebook dominating the web, and who want an alternative. We protect and respect their privacy, and so that is a significant selling feature as well. Now, most of that was anecdotal, quantitatively, we've chosen not to install analytics on the platform to go with our focus on privacy, and that makes it a little challenging. From our token sale, where we did collect location information, more than 60% of our more than 4,000 purchasers were located in North America. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. We'll keep the BitcoinTalk community posted as things progress!

Always good to see the people behind projects taking questions seriously. I'll pay close attention to Presearch now and will give that mobile app a try.

I think we've been fortunate that many people believe Presearch has the potential to be highly valuable in the future, and are thinking more about the future value of their rewards than the current value... It seems to help a lot... But the other thing is that it's really about gamification - not just the monetary value... People like the real-time feedback they get when they search and the coin flips, and their balance is prominently displayed and increases constantly. We will also be creating different ways for people to spend their PRE and are focused on making it as easy as possible for them to convert their PRE to things they value significantly. On top of that, the platform itself does offer significant advantage for power users - we're basically providing people with a faster, easier way to search specific resources. Ex. I do domain name lookups, search our CRM system, our admin portal, etc., all from the same field, rather than having to bookmark them, wait for each site to load, click into the search field and search. Instead, I just pull up Presearch, type my query and then click the icon for where I want to direct my search. This doesn't appeal to everyone, but we've been impressed by how many people find it valuable. It's a nice little hack. And then there's our mobile app for voice search. Not sure if you're on iOS, but if so, you may want to check it out in the app store. There's an invite code - 'tapandhodl'... Basically, to search, you just tap the Presearch logo and hold it down while you speak... You can deep search various apps on your phone - ex. say 'Presearch Google Maps for buffalo, new york' and it'll launch Google Maps and run your query there. There are currently 80 or so providers in the system, but hundreds more are on the way. It's an exciting space to be in because it's so significant in scope and depth... Many, many opportunities to integrate tokenomics to create feedback loops that incentivize behaviour and generate value... As long as we denominate our sponsorships / ad units with PRE and make that the central unit of account, as the platform grows, the need for tokens will also increase. We are also seizing the opportunity to connect with people who are fed up with Google and Facebook dominating the web, and who want an alternative. We protect and respect their privacy, and so that is a significant selling feature as well. Now, most of that was anecdotal, quantitatively, we've chosen not to install analytics on the platform to go with our focus on privacy, and that makes it a little challenging. From our token sale, where we did collect location information, more than 60% of our more than 4,000 purchasers were located in North America. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. We'll keep the BitcoinTalk community posted as things progress! Awesome, thanks for taking the time to respond in such detail. Always good to see the people behind projects taking questions seriously. I'll pay close attention to Presearch now and will give that mobile app a try. My pleasure! Thanks for the great questions and kind words. Let me know if you have any others or feedback on anything!
