[PRE-ANN] Synereo: A fully decentralized social network owned by you

[fthoughts]

Looks like good material to be implemented, but too much delay and inactiveness

We've got a set of updates to roll out in the next few weeks with more detailed information about what Synereo will bring to social networking. We've been working incredibly diligently the last few months to bring together more materials to help our community understand what we're building.

In contrast to other more mainstream social networks, Synereo is completely decentralized and is incentivized by a cryptocurrency. This represents our most recent developments which we have not had a chance to share with the community, and so we hope you can participate and join the discussion!

Looking nice.

We've been waiting for something like this--definitely going to make a page. Some of our directors have been unwilling to help moderate our Facebook page because they don't have accounts, due to privacy concerns about prying marketing companies and government agencies. A decentralized version would simplify things, and a blockchain-based reward system would obviously be better than Facebook's revenue model.

Synereo has just released Chapter 2 of their network dynamics presentation!
...

Glad to see some progress here. Keep it up!

Just seen a number of articles in the press today, looks like Synereo is getting some good attention.  

As it should - this is an impressive project with an equally impressive team.

Synereo's AMP crowdsale will be held in February and will be supported by the Omni Foundation.

More info can be found on Omni Foundation's blog post: SYNEREO IS A NEXT-GEN SOCIAL NETWORK

Here are some ways to get your first AMP tokens

• You can buy AMPs during an initial crowdfunding phase which will fund the development of Synereo and its deployment.
  The crowdsale will be supported by the Omni Foundation, and will begin sometime in February 2015. More details to follow.
• Registering for Synereo and migrating your information from an existing social network account.
• Expanding Synereo by inviting users who register on the network and migrate to it.
• Bounties. People working to contribute to the development, deployment, and expansion of the network will receive AMPs rewards for their efforts.

Great, looks like a very promising project !
Do you have any more details on the time of the crowdsale ? Are you covered already in the video area ?

[JohnnyBTCSeed]

When it says the Synereo is built on bitcoin technology are you referring to just using the amp token? or is data somehow stored on the blockchain?

Can you talk about how the data is going to be stored please?

Johnny,

We are not using the bitcoin blockchain itself for anything but AMPs, supported by the Omni Layer.

We have our own solution for distributing data across the network. Details will be released soon, with our whitepaper.
We are hoping to integrate some of MaidSafe's key features. Currently, we're looking hard into RUDP.
As our development progresses and both technologies mature, we'll continually asses the situation and may implement more features from MaidSafe, perhaps even joining our networks altogether, sharing storage (and compensation) between Synereo and MaidSafe users.

The crowdsale will be sometime in February we don't have an exact date set yet as we are working on the final details.
An announcement will be made soon on all our channels. Bear with us.

We are always looking for people with skills to volunteer. Feel free to get in touch via PM.

Kibbitzer here, not familiar with the term, would be grateful for a pointer.

I think they mean using the Omni Layer (Mastercoin) that makes use of the bitcoin tx timestamp and OP_Return feature to issue a cryptocoin/cryptotoken on the Omni Layer which is backed by the security of the bitcoin blockchain.

sorry for a noob question as i didnt understand well the description. will the revenue for ads be divided among coin holders?

[The Bitcoin Co-op]

No, they go to the users who volunteer to see the promoted content, minus the miners' fees. Users are the ones who create the value in a social network, so they should get the rewards.

more amps used more visibility? then the amps will be rewarded to the people who will view the ads?

and how many is the max number of coins or will it there be unlimited supply? thanks

There will be few ways to earn AMPs on the network apart from opting-in for ads, our whitepaper will have a lot more info.

More details about the crowdsale and AMPs will be released throughout our channels. We intend to keep the community well informed and updated as we progress.

We also recommend subscribing to our newsletter on Synereo.com.

We've just launched the Synereo Discussion forums at https://discuss.synereo.com/

Feel free to engage us there with any question you may have as we publish our whitepaper, and approach the much expected crowdsale. We'll still be available on this thread, but we'd rather structure all the relevant content on our discussion forums.

See you on Discuss Synereo!
