I would like to clarify, is Lina also having its ICO? Since there will also be LINA Tokens I'm sure they will be for sale right? This thread focuses on what is LINA and we might have been missing out how to invest in LINA right? I hope you can clarify this. Thanks.

This thread purpose is to find what LINA project's weaknesses and strengths tp make the project better and perfect before it Launches to the public.
YES, there will be an ICO, It will last from January 15, 2018, until March 28, this Crowd sale will have 200 million tokens at 1 USD each.

Where do I buy Lina Tokens? I'm a bit new so I'm still trying to learn about wallet and all and I think for 1 USD each I can buy a few tokens. I'm looking forward to this and maybe I can also apply as  a professional reviewer for Lina clients. If only I did put more effort on posting and reading here in the forum I'm probably able to join the bounty campaign now.

Kindly go their website for you to know more about the ICO of the lINA token, this will help you for that https://lina.review/
How to participate in the crowdsale? kindly go here directly https://lina.review/How_to_participate_in_Lina_TGE.pdf

just a reminder pal: Do NOT use Exchange wallet when depositing, or your token will be gone forever.

I hope this is a good help for you and i did well to assist you.
By the way, this is a good investment as i invest some here too.

Thanks for the link. I missed the Powerpoint presentation. This is really helpful. Yes, I do hope that LINA's ICO is a success. Good luck to us.

Online review is also a way of advertising a certain company to use "word of mouth". Good online reviews bring in new customer. We as a consumer, we want to look first for the reviews or feedback before we spend our money. By Lina's platform, this could help consumers to give us the most legitimate and trustworthy online reviews.

[Bitbitchy]

If you have a business that wants to advertise Lina is a great platform for advertising, Advertisers are businesses or individuals who want to advertise on Lina.review or other
review systems running on the Lina blockchain platform. Naturally, a merchant could be an advertiser - and standalone advertisers are treated as a special merchants on Lina.review. Hereinafter, Advertisers could be also referred to as Merchant.

I guess you have misunderstood with the lina platform. Lina is not for advertiser nor commercial of the company. It is a platform that will give a fair and appropriate review for the services and products of a certain company. The platform itself wants to make reviews equal to all! They use blockchain technology in order to eliminate fraud and make reviews decentralized and more transparent.

I might have misunderstood LINA platform as well. You are saying that LINA is directed to "the reviewers/helpers" themselves rather than the paying customers/merchants right? More of an honest review whether its positive or negative one. If you are getting paid to give honest reviews, LINA will be welcomed by more reviewers/helpers and companies who are confident with their products or services will go forward to be subjected to reviews using LINA platform. Blockchain technology will be put in good use for the transparency of the reviews and hopefully when the quality of reviews are maintained LINA can be a top review platform preferred by more clients and trusted by the consumers.

But that is the main question here. How is the quality of the reviews being assured? Since every reviewer or user and helper want to get paid and every negative review they will give will not be given credit so they will be forced to give only positive reviews regardless if they really know the products or not.

[maariyaam]

I just thought of something about the reviewers on the website, how can Lina validate if the reviewers are certified buyer of a specific product? Do you have qualification before someone can write a review on the product?

They actually need to sort this issue, it's easy to put a review these days with just simply signing up an account, clicking a rate you want to put in and throwing some nice or harsh words but in fairness with lina.review, they want to build specific standards in order for users make a system for the review of a specific product and service in order to evaluate and assess overall performance or quality of the service/product not just by randomly selecting a number from a scale of 0-10 or by clicking a star based on what they think.

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.

No. But every review will pass through the platform. Im sure they are going to scrutinize every single review before they let it out in public whether it is positive or negative. And i was thinking, if it negative, will they let it out also to the public or they will eliminate this negative review? And of course i believe that the advertisers will not pay the platform for recieving negative reviews.

[Bitbratt]

To strengthen Lina Review Platform’s credibility, i think it would be best if they have a different and unique way of sifting reviews as well as the ability to avoid review fraud or fake reviews. Online reviews have been so untrustworthy now a days and i hope lina will make that difference.

When this project will be implemented?

[Bitbratt]

Still not understanding how Lina stops fraudulent/bought reviews. I just keep reading how the blockchain is immutable and transparent and decentralized.... but what exactly is the process that makes Lina different from anything else. It is not laid out enough for my understanding.

I also keep on coming back to the whitepaper but i cannot find such as you mentioned. Maybe one from the team can give us a clear and specific explanation. That will be an additional point for the credibility of the platform.

You gotta take a look at their roadmap madam. It is in their white paper.

but how they can assure us that those online reviews are worth it? transparent and no back jobs?
Can reviews be funded right? as you are here on the forum and do such campaigns. how can you make sure that those people are ot making reviews to earn money?

Well if you read the whitepaper, people will  be doing the review because they can make a living out of it. Helpers, as specified will need to submit his/her CV, highlighting his credential as a reviewer. Similarly, regular users can apply as helpers.

They can't assure us but blockchain technology will be of help in the transparency and tracing back the reviews from the users and the helpers. Using blockchain technology, I think LINA can monitor the progress of each activity and check on the quality of the reviews as they will be given by qualified helpers based on their submitted credentials. Currently LINA will be having its ICO or it is gaining investments for the development of the project. The success of the project will really be dependent on the acceptance of the merchants on using LINA as the preferred platform for reviews. For helpers, I myself may apply in the future. As of now we can help LINA thru decimating information and joining the Campaigns and Bounties. Good luck to us.

A blockchain based review platform! What a wonderful idea! The reviews will be unbiased. Feedback will be easily provided. Everything transparent. Am I getting it right? Good luck

I guess Lina Review wants to put a ratings/reviews on every business model that we are conducting. Blockchain is very transparent that's why governments are very serious to make a token and i think Lina Review will help to conduct a project!.

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.

Hi Tatalin! At first i was actually skeptical on Lina.review's registration fee for Merchants & Advertisers, then your concern came along. I guess the registration fees will somehow protect the consumers (and the whole of the review platform i guess) from businesses you are concerned of. First of all, if Lina.review is requiring users who wanted to be helpers a set of binding & legal identification, then we can expect more strict requirements for businesses.  Secondly, with the registration/advertising fees in place, i'm pretty sure it's gonna be an expensive (and ridiculous, if i may say) strategy to bring down a competitor.

If the competitors register their name as a common users, then registration fees are free. As common users they can freely write their own review and assessment. My concern is this, how can Lina avoid this kind of tactics? (If everyone can be a common user and each of it can write their own review). I guess there should be a limitation as to what extent a common user can write a review based on what he has experienced.

For users to become helper ( the one will give reviews) they need to be approved by helper board and as soon as lina.review community grow, approval from helper board will become strict so i think we should not worry that much regarding fake reviews since they are assessed first before making reviews in certain products and services. Having negative feedbacks is good actually, companies will be forced to elevate the quality of their service and product and people will acknowledge lina as strict due to standards they made for user's reviews.

Finally I'm a Jr. Member, where can I join any bounty for Lina? I'm interested in joining Lina and Looking forward to this project.

[Gibreil]

I have read the whitepaper and Lina is focused on review system of products and services. Im a fan of review and your right most of the reviews I read is in favor of the product and not to mention bloggers who are paid to review products as well. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing anything that’s new to me. I just have a question is the product & service review limited to US products and US reviewers?

Actually the subjects they will review is quite limited as of now, they are medical services, hospitals, hotels, movie, restaurant, cryptocurrency, and smartphone. all are good subjects for review since this are all high in demand, adding online shopping websites for reviews is a must add as well, people tend to get scammed from those sellers so reviews from users of these online sites will be a good benefit for the public.

I guess reviews will focus more on oligopolist because we all know that these companies are too powerful in the market. They dominate the market and at the same time, they control the price that they will issue upon the market. In short, it is good to know that people will give reviews to these oligopolist in order for the consumers to know who is better among them.
