A giveaway website that pays streamers and audience

[Lorence.xD]

Has anyone here have heard of incent.com, it is mainly used by streamers to interact with their audience via giving away codes that will give you cryptocurrency, which as the title says also gives a cryptocurrency to the streamer as well. I was watching a Dead by Daylight Streamer named Paulie Esther and there is a time interval for a new code that can be used to redeem. I haven't personally used or participated in one because there is only a limited number of users that can use the code. You can check the website if you feel like it.

Link to their website: https://incent.com/

Probably another vapourware project with no real use case? They have launched their ICO 4 years ago and I think that the project has been delisted from Bittrex and Livecoin which has been hacked recently.

delisting from bittrex.

I've read about them in the past but didn't dive into it but having said that, I looked up on YouTube and found a live streamer that was rewarding incent and IMHO, it's not worth it ^{[rewards are quite insignificant]}.

Since we need to download their app in order to redeem codes, I went on the Play Store and saw "many complaints".
The idea is great but it needs more polishing.

I guess that it is not that good of a service then, the complaints in the playstore all complain about the ads, I guess if they do what Youtube does where there is a skip ad, I think that it can be better. I have to agree with you regarding the website, if they polish it more on mobile phone I think that it will garner audiences.

...They have launched their ICO...

This is all we need to know to be honest lol; reputation immediately goes down the drain. It's once again one of those projects that has unnecessary tokens but still conducted an ICO to earn some munnyz.

Well, some streamers still use this and some of their audiences are using it too, I just find this idea good because it helps you support your favorite content creator and at the same time getting some reward for it. Maybe if they used bitcoin as a reward, I think many will flock.

Sure, I never said that literally no one would be using it and that it wouldn't gain traction. But then again, them conducting an ICO says a lot about the company/project.

Depends, Bitcoin seems to encourage those that seek privacy to use it. Therefore, a platform awarding Bitcoin, might not be the best idea especially since this platform would have little reason, other than providing Bitcoin compared to the competitors. I do believe, users on the popular streaming sites allow you to accept donations via Bitcoin, so there's already a place that you could accept donations via that. I think I've seen streamers at least put it in their description if not within the stream itself.

The platform is getting via advertisements in their apps is not a bad deal, the problem with their approach is that the ads are insufferable which means that there is no skip and every time the user leaves the app, they need to log in again. Stream sites that are accepting cryptocurrency donations are not that big because most of the time it is frowned upon their community because most sites do not get a cut from crypto donations. I have to disagree with it not being the best idea because I think incent just had a bad execution of their platform but if it was otherwise, it will be praised.

I don't mind advertisements, as long as they aren't the usual drab. A few places actually do advertisements well, but its not common practice. Its usually using the business model of lets make as much money as possible, and we don't care what we advertise, which is something that I can't agree on. Adverts should be handpicked, and relevant to a websites users. No advert that is unrelated should be displayed.

I don't think its frowned upon by the community, rather its frowned upon by those that own the streaming sites since they aren't getting a cut. Although, there's ways to incorporate Bitcoin into the streaming site, and allow a cut very much like you would with traditional currencies.

I personally don't think its a good idea right now. Not in its current climate, because I'm just trying to think of the demographic of Bitcoin. Most of its users prefer privacy, and tend to stay away from revealing their identity. I suppose streaming doesn't always have to reveal your identity though.

That's not suggesting that Bitcoin's demographic wont change down the line though.

That's what I just said, Twitch gets a cut every time there is a donation.

Cheers, I do agree about that, making money without concern for the well being of the client is as archaic as banking systems. I don't want to end up like that Black Mirror episode where your room is surrounded by ads.

Maybe someday we will see something of the same nature, I do not think that the current climate is a problem, it's just that most start ups are subject to being a fraud if a failure and a innovation if successful by the people of the Internet.
