So what will be this? A token on Sirius blockchain? Will there be an ico, or you will distribute tokens with bounty or airdrop to sirx holders?

[jacor]

Hi There,

Yes this will be a token on the Sirius Blockchain. Similar to an ERC20 token on Ethereum Blockchain. We will not be doing an ICO. We are always available on the Sirius Slack and our Telegram group for discussions.

Hi all, any news about this project? Thanks and good luck.

Hi all, any news about this project? Thanks and good luck.

Hi There @wendelee, yes we are very actively working on the project. 

We believe we need to build a successful self-sustainable business around sport and our token.  This will ensure that the economy works well and we can execute on our promises.  We have all the roll players in place in order to build a closed loop Minimum viable product from the full platform perspective.

•    We have our first application live.  The app is aimed at golfers and they will earn PODs for using our application and entering their data.
•    We are in negotiations with very large sports chains which will accept our POD token in their retail and online stores to create demand, which means we can build the payment gateways which can integrate directly into exchanges in order to ensure their is demand for the token on exchanges.
•    We already have advertisers which paying for brand awareness, but we are in the process of designing a full advertising engine based on the real world requirement. 
•    We are in final discussions with partners (Other Sports Applications) that want to integrate into our platform, which means we will are building the API’s and integration points based on a real world requirement.

We are currently funding the project ourselves, with limited resources and are in the process of speaking to various investors to secure funding to take this project to the next level. We will not be doing an ICO, but if you are interested in the project and want to discuss how you can get involved with assisting with some funding for the project please join our Telegram https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@SportsPodiumPublic group, where we can discuss.

We have introduced our platform to the world of golfers. But what is NEXT? What sport do YOU want to see transformed through technology?

#Fact Blockchain is where the real value lies: Despite the emphasis on trading virtual currencies, it's actually what underlies cryptocurrencies that could be particularly valuable. Blockchain technology is the infrastructure that cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are founded on. It is a digital and decentralized ledger that records payments and transfers transactions in a safe and efficient manner. It is no wonder that this tech is being adopted by big businesses.
#SportsBlockchain #SportsPodium

One of the many ways that we use to attract sportspeople to our platform is by using existing infrastructure like clubs and schools to encourage the use of our applications. We are going live with a new Golf Tournament management portal, which allows golf clubs and corporates companies to automate the full lifecycle of arranging a Golf Day or Tournament.

The market is just insane, as there are 30 000 + golf clubs in the world.  

At the same time we are changing the world that people look at apps. Thing of it is this way:

Golf Club Manager: How much will it cost me to use your Golf Tournament Management Portal?
SportsPodium: All features in our apps will always be free, no premium subscription for any features, to be honest WE WILL PAY YOU to use our apps




The majority of golf courses has at least 1 Golf Day with between 80 - 120 golf players per week.  If we get 0.1% of golf clubs which only 30 golf courses in the world, we will get around 3000 new registered players in our database every week.   We are looking at exponential growth when this goes viral!

SportsPodium Ecosystem

The SportsPodium blockchain algorithms are at the heart of this new ecosystem that enables athletes to capture daily training, dietary and competition information while being rewarded with cryptocurrency.

Through the elegant convergence of cryptocurrency technology, social interaction and real-world human activity, we will create a thriving ecosystem with innumerable commercial opportunities.

The best part of the solution? Regardless of the athlete’s age or level, they can earn an income and market themselves to the right clubs or sports bodies, empowering them to reach the highest level possible – all depending on their talent and drive.

SportsPodium is pleased to run a Bounty campaign on  Bitcointalk.  Here is the link to the Bounty annoucement:

It is explicitly stated that a POD is not intended to act as a security, but that it is intended as a utility token. It is earned by behaviours and effort of the community members and to reward them. There are various ways they can derive goods and services in exchange for the token. While value may increase in the future, this is only desired in as much as it will enhance the reward for the member for inputting data into the system.

Tokens will be available for acquisition on various crypto exchanges for the sole purpose to allow advertisers to acquire these tokens for spend on advertising in the platform.

At no time will any interest, dividend or other return be made on the tokens held. In the case of vested PODs, the token class will simply be rewarded for their platform management activity through a platform management fee.

Earn Crypto for partnering with SportsPodium



Our ecosystem is designed to encourage various partners to participate on the platform. Partners and promoters can earn a percentage of all distributed PODs in the partnership deal. We negotiate each deal on a per case basis as we strongly believe in a value for value economy.

Sports Application Owners

SportsPodium can create a new revenue stream for existing Sports Application providers when the integrate their application with our API. Current application providers will also be able to provide their userbase with incentives, which in turn provide the application provider with the potential of expanding their current userbase. Application providers will receive a share of all tokens allocated to their userbase as incentive should they be willing for SportsPodium to incentivise their userbases. This percentage will be determined by the value their userbase brings to the overall platform.

Online and Retail Stores

Online and retail stores are key to the success of the Sportspodium economy. SportsPodium are looking for partners in the online and retail stores to accept our token as a method of payment for their goods and services. SportsPodium is a decentralised payment mechanism and we are in the process of developing payment gateways which will be free to use for both online and retail stores. SportsPodium will not charge any fees for the stores, to the contrary, we will give retail stores 50% of all transaction fees paid by users of our token for their specific online or retail stores.

Sport Clubs and Schools

Sports Clubs and Schools will earn a percentage of all tokens allocated to athletes within their school or club. The tokens will be paid directly into the SportsPodium wallet of the specific School or club. Should the golf club be introduced by any club member or another outside party, a commission will be included in the distribution (see golf example at the end).

Ambassadors

A percentage (0.2%) of all tokens emitted will be allocated to the ambassador’s pool. PODs from this pool will be distributed to the SportsPodium wallets of the sports ambassadors according to their specific agreements.

Entrepreneurs — Take the SP Golf solution to your market

Entrepreneurs are people like me and you. All you have to do is go to your nearest golf club and introduce our golf solution to the club. There is enough incentives for any golf club to use our system and it should not be a difficult conversation. If the club sign up t use the application -at no cost-, the partner who introduced us to the club will earn PODs on an ongoing basis.

SportsPodium has developed a golf solution consisting of three components. An events management portal, a mobile scoring application and a live leader board. Any golf club, golfer or partner can earn our POD tokens for participating in the SportsPodium ecosystem.

The events management portal is key for driving usage of the mobile application. All golfers registered for a specific golf day will automatically be added in the mobile golf app and users need only download the golfing app before or on the day to be able to record their golf scores on their scorecards. The scorecards are populated with the data for the specific golf course being played that day.

The golf app supports more than 34 000 golf courses around the world. The golf app is key for delivering detailed data into our sports database, which will allow hyper-targeted advertising to the golf community. As scores are recorded on the day of the event, a live leader board is updated in near real-time. The leader board is accessible through any television screen or computer which has Internet connectivity.

The live leader board calculates scores for many types of golf competitions and supports golfers that play on various courses on the same day — even on the same leader board. Considering that we take Handicap Index, Course Rating and Slope Rating into account, we are breaking new grounds in the golfing world.

Anyone who are interested to earn POD tokens on an ongoing basis can take our product to their golf market. The person taking this to market will receive a percentage of all tokens distributed to the users he brings to the platform.

SportsPodium Anti-Bot Mechanics




Because a lot of value will be placed on diligence, completeness and accuracy of athlete training and performance data, bots will have the ability to completely skew data services and devalue the SportsPodium economy.

User Registration and validation in communities, to make sure we are dealing with real users, are the essence of the reward system. SportsPodium will have strict policies around bots and also implement mechanics into the blockchain to prevent bot abuse and users gaming the system for financial benefit.

SportsPodium Token Emission

Token Emission
Token emission is linked to a smart contract and ensures that tokens are fairly distributed when activities occur within the ecosystem. The emission model takes the following variables into consideration to calculate activity rewards:
Total PODs in circulation, User Rep, Total Rep, Activity Weight (Set by App), Weight Sum, Source App Weight, App Weight sum, Verification factor, Community pool split.
Emission rate will be directly proportional to the number of activities recorded on the blockchain and the value of the data. Activity value is calculated purely on potential ad revenue from the users logging their activities.
Token Value Drivers
Token value should remain stable if token emission rate is proportional to the value of the data – speculation aside. We realise the importance of protecting POD holders and have built in measures in the platform to protect POD value. (Also see POD vesting later in this document)
In short, all tokens printed today are worth more compared to the tokens printed yesterday as demand was created by emitting less tokens than were required to incentivise the userbase for the activities which they performed.
 Inflation Resistance Multiplier
We are reducing the value-based target inflation adjustment by 50%. E.g. if the previous activity reward was 200 PODs and the current activities to be rewarded should get 300 PODs, we will only print 250 PODs (200 + 100 * 50%) and share those among the activities. This reduces sudden jumps in inflation due to fast network growth.
Additional Network Services
Data value is only estimated with ad revenue potential, but many other services are planned on the platform that will drive demand for PODs and increase their value. These will include talent scouting, self-promotion, sponsorships and event management.
Inflation Hard Cap
We are capping the maximum possible inflation at 0.33% per day (or 10% per month). If SportsPodium experiences sudden growth and takes on thousands of new users, inflation will be clamped to not exceed 10% per month even if the network value grows by 100% or more.
 Negative Inflation Adjustments
If the number of activities is reduced over time, the emission calculation allows for negative inflation adjustments and reduce inflation to match the activity data value and other parameters.

Hello, the project looks interesting, but neither in this thread nor on the website I could find a whitepaper, could I ask for a link? As well as information about roadmap and token economy.
Thank you
