[ANN] Lina.Review | Community-Driven Review Platform | TGE Event 15th Jan

[Gibreil]

A single negative review can damage the company's prestige and profitability. So how could Lina.Review can tell if a certain review is not bias?

I guess these reviews can only be posted by helpers, and these helpers undergo qualifications before they can be appointed being a helper, so let us call that filtering process, and saying negative review as long as they have proof about it will never be biased and will help customers a lot and at the same time making the product owner to enhance their service and make more quality products.

So it means reviews written by common users to a certain business company are being filtered and approved first before it appears on their profile?

And after the filtering what are they going to do with the negative ones, hide or dispose?

Why would they need to hide a negative review? If this is the case the transparency is useless. LINA review is not about positive reviews. It is about using blockchain technology, qualifying the reviewers and giving the most reliable review on the market. Only when companies learn to accept criticism that they can grow. As for the common users review this may also be reflected but I think the helpers review will be used in rating the product being reviewed. Again, blockchain technology helps us trace the source of the reviews but the main thing here is hiring qualified reviewers, HELPERS, based on their qualification.

I agree that they are lack on transparency. if they keep hiding negative reviews then is useless. Blockchain is build for transparency,reliable and cability. I'm reviewing their whitepaper devs should update on this.

What could be the main purpose of Helpers? I mean are they are the one moderating the Lina.Review's website?

Helpers (a.k.a as Experts) main responsibility is to review products and services on the system. They also submit a certain number of reviews with acceptable quality every month. Another task of Helper is to vote for submitted user reviews

The fair review is depends upon the helpers. The obligation of the helpers are not easily. Essentially, if the helper will be accused of having a review, they will be removed from their service. Yet, it is good to be a helper but there are lots of procedure will undertake before a person will become a helper of lina.

Agreed, on what you said dude. But the duties and responsibilities of a Helpers is not that easy as you can see. Because once they didn't meet the quality standard of their task on lina.review they can be demote by the Helper board in my opinion.

[Agapelove]

In this case!

This is an example walk-through of a bid for advertising request from a Merchant and the reward sharing flows: (page 18)

7. Whenever a user clicks submit a review, the review details will be recorded on the Lina Core private blockchain. Note that the review could be subject to being approved by Lina.review staff or by votes from Helpers.

What if a company hire many people to click on their product and make alot of good reviews for it, what will LINA do then?
It is people who said that the product is good and better to have. If this people volume is more than a thousand, Let say every worker of the company required to do a review for their product then LINA will be oblige to make those review approve.

In my own understanding, The helpers will occupy those things to assist everything needed in the company, maybe that's the reason why there is a community of Lina.review such as common users, Helpers and others. Because the main target task of Lina is reviewing the products, items and etc.

[rhomzkie26]

It should some some positive and negative trust like what we have in bitcointalk.org so that people might know that those helpers are legit and not selling their reviews,so that the system wont be that easy to crack,because these greedy people will always find there way to make money.

It might not happen, why? Because the helpers will automatically remove from the service if the administration or the lina core will find something fishy with their helper. If the helper will always be given an opportunity to prove herself that she is not paid helper and if the lina review will turn to trust system, I think the helpers will take advantage the system.
In our life, we have only one chance, one opportunity to prove ourselves! That's why death is always the risk of life.

You might be right because if you are one of those helpers,you might find a way to get more profits even if you risk your reputation but lets wait for the developers to come and explain how this system will work.

Perhaps, I know what you mean.  It is true that there is a big advantage for being a Helper or experts. Due to before the approval the review is very high standard it has and it will only be pass by the Helpers according to their evaluation for the products, correct me if I'm wrong in this thoughts of mine, okay. Thanks

There are no statements in the wp regarding security of lina core other than there will be a security audit. This should be one of the top priorities for obvious reasons.

 They mentioned Reputation management in their whitepaper meaning that their will be security in their core because they wanted their reputation to be clean and trusted in order for their project to work and be known by every internet user. Maybe their busy highlighting their project in different country that's why they are not here to answers all of the questions here. I still have high hopes for this project to shoot up.

My concern is actually that crypto currencies can be hacked. If lina is creating its own network for the tokens, they should take standard security measures.

I know that lina core is too hard to enter or access by a hacker. Yet we all knows that there is no imposible in the internet but lina team already made it more secured in order to have a difficulties in accessing their system.

Your concern has its basis, but I think that is one aspect that Lina.review team needs to address as well. Ideally blockchain technology can help trace the links of transactions. Unfortunately, it is not enough to prevent hacking. We can only look forward at Lina making its platform secured. I think there is a portion of payment allocated for Bug detection or similar findings in Lina.review. Good luck to us.

Good luck to the hackers. There is a chance that the possible attacks of the hackers will occur in the lina but as long as the lina core is secured and accessible only by few people, hackers can't enter its system otherwise there are inside job. But then, let see on how does lina will protect their clients and firms in possible hack.

Even the secured token and exchange can attack by the hackers. In my opinion, there is no impossible in the internet. Hackers can access lina core though it has the hardest system ever. There will be a time that the hackers will make an access for them to enter. Internet is different from reality. The impossible may become possible by the internet.

That's right! everything is possible for the hackers, He can access everything, so since it is not preventive we must do something about this things to resolve it, isn't? For sure there's a way for it to give remedy on this kind of situation.  

It is true that everything is possible when it comes to programming and everything on the net. But please take note that "Everything is possible but it will take time" depending on how complex the system and the level of difficulty vary based on the depth of the used codes. Blockchain technology was one of the most difficult systems to hack and LiNA considered this characteristic to use the said technology. The people behind who plan to hack LiNA will definitely think twice before doing so. It is not easy and cheap to hack a complex system.

It is such an advantage to have direct access of ordinary users to experts or Helpers here at Lina Review to find the best value for money on the products and services that users are looking for.

The consumers are the real beneficiary of this project. Because nowadays people look at the internet to look for tge reviews and suggestion of place, service and products before they spend their hard earned money. This is very promising that’s why im still waiting for this project to boom.

Also the consumers are the heart of success of this project. For sure majority of the community of this project are expecting big on Lina.review, including myself due to I also believed on this project too.

The success will depends upon the investors. In my opinion, the project of lina is interesting and reliable. There's no problem dealing with their platform. The only thing I see is how the developers marketing their project. Because as of now, it seems like the lina team is not ready to a vast project. A lot of things they need to work on. But I hope that this project will successfully launch!

[bitrayder]

It should be well polished before it will be released to the public,because there will always be people who will take advantages using the system's holes.
Lets hear something about the moderator or the developers,so we would have more information about this project.

But overall i think thils will benefit most of the advertisers, because it will be much easier for them to connect to those targeted consumers.

The Lina project will make sure that before the launching of their businesses they will make sure that there will be no major problems when it comes to the reviews of the consumers to the products or services.

I hope there will be no major problem after their ICO projects, instead there is more improvement to be happen for their plan.
But for the past few weeks there is no update about this project of Lina.review

[bitzy1219]

It is good to hear that transparency also serve its purpose on the financial aspect of the LiNA review platform. It prevents corruption and overpricing on fees. Revenue of the LiNA is completely recorded and visible to the public.

So it means that the fees of the review will also transparent so that the customer will see how lina.Review is safe and trustworthy. So many people now find a reviewer that they think it can help a lot for them to review the product that they want before they buy especially online product.

That's the good thing about of Lina.review I really like the transparency where lina.review has, because of this things many of their investors or community will give their trust anyway. That's the specialty of lina.review

[s31joemhar]

What a great project,advertiser/merchants will be the main beneficiaries of this decentralized reviews,10% of advertising revenue will be put the whole system? so that the website will have something to pay those helpers so that these people wont need to sell their reviews to these brands or products.

Yeah you are right ,that should be the fees will go thru,to pay those people who are giving reviews to the products/services that these brands wants to get reviewed.So there will be no one that will sell their reviews? because they are already making money with just reviews.

Those experts should be examined very well so there will be no biased/paid reviews in the website.

Politicians and other government employee have high salary and pay roll, though they still corrupt the country they are serving, this can be apply with LINA.REVIEW!
Yes they have payment and budget for helpers, but what will happen if some company that want the best review for their business or product pay some helpers 2 years of their salary in just 1 review?

As far as I know, lina review will focus in the service of the firms and company, not in the government. And I think it is hard to integrate reviews in politics since we all know that the politicians don't have the plan to drop their position in just a matter of review.

Based on my own understanding the lina review is not connected in any political reviews because the focus of this project is to give reviews of the products and services of the said company.

The reviews will be reviewed, if a helper's reviews are not consistent, the helper will be demoted.

Definitely,yes you're right pal. That's why there is an evaluation to be happen in reviewing the products, also the restriction in it was very high standard. So I believed the quality will also be high standard.

I must agree with you sir/mam the lina project review set their own standards and criterias in choosing and creating reviews that is why we must trust lina as our review company.

[Babyjamz3026]

If the users would have a chance to be promoted to be a helper,how will the system knows when these people arent from the brands that these helpers should be reviewed?

I am a little confused on how will this system prevent those abusive people,please enlighten me.

The lina project have a set of qualifications for them to hire an individual or consumer but i don't think that lina will hire someone with out a high set of qualifications or without reviewing their backgrounds

It says in the WP  that LINa Review's Helper Board will be very strict i n the approval for being a Helper due to user-oriented  assessment of the system.

That's right! meaning to become a Helper you will undergo to their process accordingly for you to reach that position. Then once you approve by the helper board, big responsibility is waiting for you too as a Helper. Or else you might get be demote if you didn't comply completely the task of being a Helper duties and responsibilities.

[Agapelove]

Merchants are the parties providing the products or services

Does this mean like for movies, free movie premiere tickets? or free hotel stay? or free gourmet experience? Who wouldn't want to be a helper?

There are no freebies! to be a helper will be undergone in so much trouble, you need to have a good background first with reviews online.
to be this on the team is not a freeman, you need to prove yourself to be worth one of them.

I certainly agreed on this, to become a helper you will start from a common users first before anything else. Then once you meet the qualification  for a Helper position you will be screen and evaluate by the helper board which is they're the one who will approve you to proceed in the position of a Helper.

Right dude, The review system, such as Lina.review, is a review service built on top of the Lina Platform. It is designed to be easy for individuals or companies to build their own review systems on the Lina Platform using the Lina SDK and sample applications.

[Babyjamz3026]

Besides, Lina.review will be implemented on Blockchain technology, which will address issues related to transparency and immutability of the score, as well as develop mechanisms to help users and experts earn profits based on system development and the quality of their reviews (via smart contract).

[Agapelove]

It should some some positive and negative trust like what we have in bitcointalk.org so that people might know that those helpers are legit and not selling their reviews,so that the system wont be that easy to crack,because these greedy people will always find there way to make money.

You may have a point on this one mate, but I think those people that who are greed will no longer be disappear in any form of business, especially in this type of business isn't right? So the better way for us to avoid this things is we must be careful in everything we choose to be involve in any project like this one.

I think this is possible, we really are waiting to see what Lina.review platform will look like and how will it function. I hope I can participate in the testing of Lina.review.

The lina project review wants to reduce the fake information or fake reviews that are  given by the fake reviewees who are being paid by the companies for the sake of their reputation, giving accutate reviews is the main function of yhe lina prjoct review .

DO you really wanna take it?
do we really need to have those comments and review? how can we be sure that those are true and will be done in a good way?
what is your measurable way to say that?
if y0ou have! tell me cause I wanna know.

Do we really need to have those comments and reviews? I think yes. In the advent of technology where almost everything can be bought online a practical review or even comments can help a buyer make a better decision in buying. Personally when I buy a mobile phone for example, aside from checking the specification of the unit I want, I also make sure to read comments, feed backs or related review so that I can get a better grasp of what I am buying before I finally buy. If people will find out that Lina reviews are reliable and Lina.reviewed products tend to be more competitive, I think this will greatly affect the market. Do we really need it? Yes we do.

To save time and avoid wasting my money on products that won't satisfy me, I usually read reviews and feedbacks about the product that I am going to buy. This will help me decide which one should I buy. So a reliable review site is very important to avoid scams.

I guess you're not the only person here doing on what did buying the products. Of course all of the customer like to do that first before giving the payment for the items which they like to choose to buy in anyway. So that full satisfaction as a client will achieve, isn't?

[bitzy1219]

A single negative review can damage the company's prestige and profitability. So how could Lina.Review can tell if a certain review is not bias?

I guess these reviews can only be posted by helpers, and these helpers undergo qualifications before they can be appointed being a helper, so let us call that filtering process, and saying negative review as long as they have proof about it will never be biased and will help customers a lot and at the same time making the product owner to enhance their service and make more quality products.

So it means reviews written by common users to a certain business company are being filtered and approved first before it appears on their profile?

And after the filtering what are they going to do with the negative ones, hide or dispose?

For me sir every business  has its own negative feedbacks from the consumer and it is natural and in order to have transparency and for the project not to be labeled as bias lina review has its own criterias on how to filter the reviews that is being given by the people.

How and what are the criteria for filtering the reviews on their platform then? Can they really manage to pull off a big Project like this? because this can change the perspective of how the review industry works in the near future.

It traceable if there is something fishy in the review. I think it is hard to set some criteria in filtering reviews because we cannot say if a negative or positive review is a genuine.
Lina will launch this project because they are confident to use their blockchain technology to provide a fair review system for all.
Yes it can be, the review may manipulate the people from their utility. We all know that reviews can change or engage every mindset of the people. That's how review works.

All reviews are subjective, depending on the taste of the person reviewing the certain products, unless they (lina.review) have guidelines on how to make a feed back on a certain service or product.  but I believe they already brain stormed about this stuff and already have an answer on how they will keep it fair and genuine.

Correct, each individuals had their own criteria for the goods which they are looking for, right? But sometimes or most of the time our taste or our basis of criteria wasn't good  enough to say that we choose the and high quality. But with Lina.review, we can become comfortable if we entrust everything about them to review our items we like to get in.

[bitrayder]

How can be sure that these helpers wouldnt sell their good reviews to these products?Because if they can earn money from giving reviews im sure few of these people would take advantage the system's weakness?

The lina review cannot assure us that they can moderate all of their helpers. Moderate in terms that they know that their helpers are accountable to their own obligation. But the project will make a way to tract the helpers who will sell their reviews in the firms. I am sure that there is no possibility to eliminate fraud reviews but it can be decreased as time goes by.

They can moderate but not at all time as customer expecting it to be happen. I think they have the right procedures on this matter actually. Because as we all know Lina.review are completely transparent to the users then the assessment is decentralized so it cannot be faked.

[Yooshijin]

Surely this would be better than those review websites that are getting paid with their good reviews,blockchain technology should be able to resolve the problem,transparency will be acquired if those people who will be accepting helpers arent going to sell their reputation too.

Yes mister/miss the lina project review will be more better than the other review websites that are being paid by the other companies just to gain positive reviews.
The legit and unbiased feedbacks will become one of the strength of the lina project, so lets  be excited to this project.

Moreover, for you to understand it easily try to check the strength of Lina.review in the old current system there is a lack of motivation for reviewers to improve their review quality. While in the current system of Lina users can become Helpers if they have many high quality reviews. Aside from that in the old current system revenue was not transparent, while in Lina.reviews revenue is completely recorded on the blockchain and very visible to the public.

Paying review companies to manipulate review results is definitely one of the problems that block chain can resolve. They now can't just pay and poof with target percentage and no accountability. With lina, we can trust the end result to be accurate.

How will the blockchain be able to resolve that problem? those greedy people who wants to earn money will always find their way to get advantage to the system's holes.

Don't be so negative about this things, though there is truth on what you stated here. Lina.review is no that stupid to make that happen. Of course they knew about it, that's why if you are going to check thei differences from the current system in accordance to lina's WP you can check it over there the strength of Lina.review

That's why Lina's platform was created. To avoid this kind of manipulation. Lina's objectives are very clear. He's right. Avoid negative issues and let's just hope for the best. I know Lina wants to end the problems and improve the system.

[Babyjamz3026]

A single negative review can damage the company's prestige and profitability. So how could Lina.Review can tell if a certain review is not bias?

If you read the whitepaper of lina.review I am 100% sure you won't ask this question. But let me tell you the strength of lina.review such as follows:

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

[Agapelove]

To be a reviewer of LINA.REVIEW "HELPER" you need to pass your CV to their team and they will review your portfolio if you are eligible to be one of the team members to make a decent review for their client's establishment or product. The team just want to have a great company and will run long for better and will give right feedback and unbiased blog for anyone.

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 Huh  Huh Huh

Because in my idea only the Helper board has the right to approve the users to become a Helper. Once you become a Helper it is understood that you one of the experts reviews that can be considered of lina.review, However you need to be cautious or else there is a chance for you to be demote by the helper board.

[rhomzkie26]

This is great transparency for the reviews should benefit all the merchant because the reviews cannot be influenced by anyone.How would these mecharnts pay the website?is it thru lina tokens or other cryptocurrencies?

What if these mechants tried to pay those helpers/experts to give a good review to their product? how would we know ?
Transparency means all the reviews arent biased how sure these people arent going to sell their postive reviews?

I think possible to be happen mate, and anyone can do that actually. But since the transparency is the Lina's main catch for the users they will be visible for this matter anyway. So, in this case honesty also must be implement of this project.
