OUR STORY
Hi all. We are a group of students from major universities across Asia, including the University of Hong Kong (HKU), National Taiwan University, National Tsing Hua University, etc. We've stumbled upon numerous ICO projects since the boom of the cryptocurrency market in 2017, and even personally invested in quite a few. However, the more ICO projects we invested in, the more we realize that a feasible and prospective ICO may not always be the one that succeeds in funding. Frankly speaking, moreover, we've seen several ICOs with shallow ideas, coupled with vaporware, flashy promotional animation clips and buzzwords scamming the crowd, running away with millions, if not billions of dollars, all are forged with the investors' blood, sweat and tears. Besides costing the investors dearly, the circulation of scams even landed the whole crypto-market a bad fame. It is most evident with the fall of BitConnect, a ponzi-scheme making hundreds of thousands of investors bankrupt.
We want to change that.
Our founder, Kai-hsiang Chang, is a 19-year-old Taiwanese student studying at HKU. As a "coding junkie", he loves spending endless nights in front of a computer screen programming since the age of 14. He has aspired to devote his professional knowledge into something he's passionate about, and hopefully, in the meantime, making the world a better place. One day, together with his roommate, Yi-tim Hsiao, they come up with the idea of ADGONOS, hoping to change the glaring issues that the current mobile monetization business model has: High Commission, Low Revenue, Poor User Experience, and Shady Data Collection. (We're watching you, Cambridge Analytica and ZUCC)
Admittedly, we do not possess the same financial caliber as many other ICO projects, e.g. buying a paid position on some of the demanding ICO listing websites, mass-advertising on social media, doing massive airdrops or even worse, spamming emails and forums with bots or cheap labors.
However, we do have the knowledge and proficiency to execute our project we do have highly skilled team members from various fields to achieve our goals. We do have a zealous passion of really establishing something beneficial to human beings. Heck, we even have the courage to launch an ICO during these sad times of bear market.
It's not just another aimless cash-grab to launder your cash, buy Lamborghinis or travel to some exotic Pacific islands. We truly want, and are capable of, building a product, that would last long, and reshape the traditional, outdated, and flawed business model of mobile ads. We just need your help, to make both our dreams, of improving the experience and revenue of app users and developers, and your dreams, of your crypto-portfolio mooning (well, with high probability ), come true.
Hence, We Present to You, ADGONOS.IO
ADGONOS INTRODUCTION ADGONOS ─ the first ICO launched by students from top-notch universities across Asia. The ADGONOS framework provides an ad-free environment for mobile app users, as well as increased revenue for app developers. Attractive to both app developers and app users, ADGONOS will significantly impact the current mobile ad market, of which annual turnover is 106 billion USD and annual growth rate is 18%. In the ADGONOS system, mobile app users and app developers are rewarded ADG coins, which are generated by Proof-of-Work (PoW) and anonymous usage data collection. The coins can be traded with other cryptocurrencies on exchanges or be spent as credit in in-app purchases.
There are three main roles in the ADGONOS system:
Miners: Mine and receive ADG using PoW algorithms on PC, generating an additional 25% of coins for users and developers.
App Users: Receive free ADG (can be spent in-app) from using apps (Proof of Usage), and generate anonymous data for the network.
App Developers: Adopt ADGONOS (instead of ads) in apps, and receive ADG as revenue while gathering in-depth analytic and usage data.

ADGONOS ADVANTAGES No ads, better user experience ADGONOS offers an ad-free environment for app users
Higher income for both app users and app developers RPKHU of app users: rises from 0 USD to 1.9032 USD** RPKHU of app developers: rises from 4.2144 USD to 7.5177 USD** (78% increase) *RPKHU: Revenue per kilo usage hour, index for measuring the revenue of apps **: Expected value based on the model, please refer to whitepaper for detailed information
97.5% decrease in commission fee Traditional ad agencies take away 40% from ad revenue. However, we only charge 1% commission fee to keep ADGONOS operational.
In-app purchase discount and zero transaction cost App users: enjoy price discount in in-app purchase App developers: gain 100% of revenue in in-app sales
Anonymous data collection with transparent policy App users: do not need to worry for shady data collection App developers: can acquire analytical data for app improvement

Hi, anovanalyst, thank you for your interest in our project! The difference between our project and conventional ad-blockers is that, ad-blockers would cut the content creators' revenue completely off, while ADGONOS aims to be a project to benefit both the app user and the developer. Well, we are a group of young students, wanting to make a change for the better for the world and the crypto-circle XD Feel free to contact us should you have any more questions.

We'll sure make great efforts to deliver this project, to proof that age won't be a problem for us. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Interesting project, may I know more details on how in-app purchase work in your project Sure. After users earn their ADG coins, they can spend it in apps where developers have implemented the ADGONOS framework. Users can get a discount, while developers can seize 100% of the in-app purchase income, not worrying about the high tariff Google and Apple charges, ever again. For more info, you can refer to our website. Feel free to ask any questions!

Some of the thought mentioned above are right, A project with fancy look doesn't always guaranty the success of the project itself. Sometimes a successful project came from a tiny little project and doesn't seems to be worthy to be catch.

About the model you have proposed, you mention that 25% additional coins will be generated on top of the coins mined by destop miners. From my interpretation, this means if PoW generates 100 coins, there will be 125 coins circulating in total, and no matter how long the usage time is, there are still 125 coins. Is my interpretation correct?

True, judging from our personal experiences of investing in ICOs... Hope you are interested in our ICO, as we are really building something that's real and not vaporware
