[MahalQu2612]

When I glanced here, I noticed first the name of your project. Unfortunately, I don't see any reflection of the word Lina to your platform. I am pretty sure that Lina defines a woman. Anyways, what is the connection of you project name to your platform? I am just curious because name of a project is important to build it well and remarks to the people.

Indeed true, in some other point of view you are right dude. Literally, it is the name of an individual girl/female and I don't see any relation of lina  review in this industry. Though I'm a newbie only as I read the whitepaper you have I still don't understand so easily, instead for what I understood about this was Lina is a kind of blockchain platform that could give enhancement for the user in this industry.

It was an acronym of the Service ifyou just read the post above you. and once the service is established and become popular LINA will always reminds us of the Assessment system this platform offers.  After all Name is always tagged by its branding (if I am not mistaken)

The "Lina" in our project mean "Link(LI) and(N) Assessment(A)". We want to create a system where everyone (user,merchant,expert,advertiser) can be linked with each other and be assessed by the community. That mean merchant's products, expert's review, user's review can all be assessed/rated as well as given reward based on the result.

For example, experts (we will call them Helper) will receive Lina Token for their reviews. You can check this flow in our mvp: https://lina.review/mvp.html

I'm yet to finish reading the WP but I can say it is an interesting service though there are already some  payment platform that uses this kind of system  (feed back / review system) so if you won't mind can you differentiate the service of your platform to the feedbacks or review of some online store/payment platform review tab.

So your project is all about reviews? Well I think it will benefits for both costumers and producers. Giving a rate of suggestion in a certain services or goods may contribute for the wellness of all.
Producers will benefit more by this project, the evaluation of the people may uses as a basis of the company to improve their goods and services. However, what if there are people that paid by the company to support their products or to make a beautiful reflection to their products?

this is it: customer will fist check the review from the pro reviewer, lina call it "Helper" which is invited to joint lina platform and also needed to verify his/her pro on his review in the real world to decide buy or not. ex1: customer buy and UP vote again for this product and this helper, the thing they bought is good, like the Helper reviewed, the helper will stay at this position and continute to earn lina coin pay by seller who bought lina to review their product. ex2: customer buy and DOWN vote again for this product and this helper, the thing they bought is NOT good like the Helper reviewed, if it continue to happend again and again, helper will be kicked out from heper position, no more profit from lina platfrom for his bad helper any more, what ever reasion, he was bought by producer or his bad skill , he will out, and normal user, who only buy and vote exactly how the product is, for a time they will be considered to be a Helper and take profit from producer who want their product be reviewed in lina platform. that's how it work

LINA means LInk N Assessment. I found it on their video. You can understand more if you will watch video rather than to browse the whitepaper.
It is a kind of evaluation for a certain services that company's did for the customers. The reputation of the company will depends upon the reaction of their customers.

Its pretty good that there is a linkage between the project name with their platform. Name defines popularity and for sure this project will boom because of its name's uniqueness.
Reviews of the customers  may also boost the trust in a certain company. If many people will give a outstanding rate to the service, definitely it will contribute to promote a company. I hope this reviews will not be paid.
Another thing here is the usage of blockchain technology, I just got interest here when I saw how you use blockchain technology in accordance to your project. That is very innovative way because I knew already that blockchain is for transactions only.

i'm not agree for this red words, what make blockchain worth and diffrent? it's is 2 spesocial things that no other tech have: imposible to change data, and decenterline. When you review on yourfacebook, today u can say like this, but tomorow, when people complain affter buy in your review link, u can delete your review, or u can change it, it can't be on blockchain tech,unless all user agree for you to change =)) softfork . and decenterline: how many vote from users who realy bought your product can vote a bad quality for you? u can delete it easy. the power is in hand every user in blockchain tech

As I read in the white paper about this project,
it states that the lina project is a kind of platform in which we as a consumer can have a transparent review of a certain product or services but how can I make sure that the reviews of the Lina project are credible?

[Cassy14]

4.6 The LINA User Profile
LINA users mean those who are using review services on the Lina Platform to search the information on products and their reviews as well as write their own reviews and assessments. Each user will have their own profile where they can input their interests and preferences.
User levels (Common or Expert) can be determined by the owner of the review service.
In order to receive token rewards, users will need to register valid addresses to receive LINA tokens.

This is everyone's concern and really a big problem for having the transparency, how can LINA know if the review is unique and not just to have the payment? If ii am a company want to be listed on LINA and I want the best review for my product I can easily use money like what most companies do to the mainstream!

[b1marlin]

To LINA project and its TEAM!
If the reviews can be paid to do fake ratings for those products and some related thing in your platform, how can people and readers be assured that you are being transparent too? Sorry for the words and Q, but let us be real even MAINSTREAM MEDIA and reporters are being paid to be BIAS!

[Wallflower28]

Hi Wallflower28! Reading through their WP, it seems a merchant or advertiser needs to sign up and register for Lina.review, thus, listed goods and services will vary from interested companies who deems reviews are to be essential part of their marketing strategies. And yes, they are ready to be both applauded and critized at the same time (since they willingly entered and signed up for Lina.review).

Well I guess, it is hard to get companies who are willing to criticize. They will not put their reputation in a risk. They have there own reviews and I assure that they always want a liitle bit of criticism but a lot of applause.
Just imagine you are the CEO of a famous company. You completely sold your products in a limited time with a high marginal revenue. Will you put your reputation just to criticize your company? How about some people found out the weakness of it? I guess you will not also put the risk in your name.

As per your last question, i'll say this will very much benefit the consumers arming us with relevant reviews and feedback, but at the same time, will also benefit merchants whose products and services are really worth our coins.

Yes! this is just for the sake of the customers. In order to guide us consumer in appropriate products and services that we will be satisfied. On the other hand, are you sure negative feedback will bring the wellness of the company? It is for those companies who are openminded to cure their lack in service.

I guess the better question here is, with merchants needing to pay for signing up and registration, won't the list of goods and services be limited compared to platforms where participation is free? Is it not possible to keep the platform free to increase and diversify products and services listings?

I guess few firms will just enter with this review. Companies who wanted to have negative and positive feedback. Unless they required to join in this review. For sure, companies that will join this review are those who wanted to advertise their company and has more positive criticism. I know companies will enter here anticipated already the feedback of the customers.
Thank you for answering my questions. I know that I will get more with their WP. I will review the review's platform again and again. Well, we have our own perceptions and this is important to tackle here for the improvements and reliabilty of the project.

As I read in the white paper about this project,
it states that the lina project is a kind of platform in which we as a consumer can have a transparent review of a certain product or services but how can I make sure that the reviews of the Lina project are credible?

The Lina Token (LINA) is the native token of the Lina Platform. It will be ERC-20 token based on Ethereum, a blockchain-based decentralized platform for applications that run exactly as programmed without any chance of fraud, censorship or third-party interference to facilitate online contractual agreements in a cryptographically secure manner.

Based from that statement, we can conclude the credibility of this project. It will give feedbacks in accordance to the review of the customers. A genuine statement will help the customers to believe in this project.
We don't need to worry anymore if the reviews is fraud or has a third-party interference. Hoping that lina will become the great source of basis in terms of reviews.

[lance04]

The reviews of the buyer for a certain product is very important to other consumer because the reviews will determine the quality of the certain product.
The lina project is the first block chain platform that has a reliable reviews that is based on the buyers.

  - I just got confused Lina is the native token of the Lina platform. What does it means? Does lina is a kind of platform or a native token of their platform? And it will be ERC-20 token base on ethereum, in which means Lina is not yet ERC-20 token yet base on ethereum. Is that right? Kindly help me on this matter.

Name of a company is very important, It is the one that will make the people think of the company and same product of other company!
KFC when people heard that it is a food chain that you can tell instantly that is CHICKEN!
NIKE people will know that is SPORTSWEAR! does Nike fit the brand and product? it's just a CHECK!
REVIEWs company! what can you recall? well LINA is not related name to that the first I read the name DOTA crossed my mind like LINA INVERSE!
well the name does matter but it is not like the way you think, NAME will be NAME once the company get success and well know on its community and people will say the name LINA once it is about REVIEW soon! JUST MY THOUGHTS!

You know what for you to have an easy to understand what Lina really all about, here is my answer  Lina Token is the native token of the
Lina  Platform.  It will  be  based  on Ethereum,  a  blockchain based  decentralized platform for  applications  that  run  exactly  as programmed without any chance of fraud. And Lina platform aims  to  create  a  social  review  platform  built  on trust  and  reputation
with the  revolutionary  blockchain technology and enable  users  and  experts  to earn  profit
based on the quality of their reviews. Hope this will give an answer to your question dude.

[Tigerheart3026]

I guess we all have the same primary question on Lina's reliability and trustworthiness. As they cited reputable review companies to be flawed (and yes at times could be bought too), how are we guaranteed that the same will not happen to Lina? I mean, who wouldn't love to finally have a review platform that is unbiased, transparent and simply put, dead honest. I've encountered people from review companies for restaurants and they have nearly the same structure as Lina with expert helpers and all, but the results of their review and write ups could still be influenced in one way or another. It would be a charm to know from Lina how they could guarantee that this ain't gonna happen to them, not now, not ever.

I know what you mean, you are comparing LIna into other system of the company. Now you are looking for assurances isn't?
Here are the strength of Lina;

1. The results are completely transparent to the users.
2. The assessment is decentralized so it cannot be faked.
3. Users and Helpers can earn Lina token basing on their contribution.
4. Build specific review criteria for each subject with the assistance of available team of Helpers.
5. Unlimited types of products or services.
6. Users can become Helpers if they have many high quality reviews. Helper may lose their position if there are many poor quality reviews.
7. Revenue is completely recorded on the blockchain and visible to the public.

[tatalin]

What if competitors register under a variety of names and post negative reviews about a certain business? Does LINA will check every single review that comes to their platform if the review is credible? If anyone can have access to put a review to a certain business, then that could be no difference with other review sites we have right now.

So there is absolutely no anonymity right?

Hello linareview. I just wanted to point out that the definition, or may i say acronym, for LINA as "Link (LI) and(N) Assessment (A)" seems to be nowhere mentioned on your WP. If by chance i missed it while reading, please do point me on the page and section. I do believe that it is essential that this is stated on your WP.

[mylifeisfullofalts]

i like how a LINA users can receive Lina token rewards by writing their reviews on the services and products on the Lina Platform, this will encourage users to give reviews irregardless if it is good or bad and these reviews would be recorded on the Lina Core private blockchain. But what i don't understand is, why is there a need for Lina users reviews be subjected for approval by Lina review staff and needs to get votes from Lina helpers? Does this mean bad reviews of Lina users could be deleted  

[s31joemhar]

for me For a consumer to purchase a certain product or services it is a must for them to take a look at the performance of the company whom they want to have and for this to become possible the buyer must take a look to the reviews that is being given by other people whom the company have worked with Lina project is being developed for the costumers to have an unbiased review of the company and also to have a complete listing of the original price of materials.

[ivanst776]

LINA review will have the user profile will have level if the user is a common or an expert one in this way we can make a profit and make this aa job too. WHY? look on bitcointalk.org the higher the rank the better the profit we earn, as a reviewer of a product a company can hire me and pay me depends on my level just to make sure their product will get a really high score. I'm pretty sure of that! I hope this will be resolved soon before the platform launch.

[mylifeisfullofalts]

Lina.Review's helpers and users review is really something that concerns all of us, but for now, i guess we gonna have to hope that Lina.Review will be able to produce a good Lina helper that would give honest reviews on services and products on Lina.Reviews platform. Once the final verdict or result of the products and services are out in the market, people can go back on the recorded reviews on Lina Blockchain to check weather Lina Review's review are credible or not.
