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

[reRaise]

I just noticed you guys have a lot in common with GetGems. Your introduction is almost literally the same, same goes for your model which is based on attention economy and you are also from Israel. Are you guys related some how?

Daniel of GetGems is a friend of mine. I wrote the intro at his request as I was working on Synereo at the time and with the spirit of the projects indeed being similar. Synereo is a full social network, of course, whereas Gems is only a messaging application.

Synereo takes it all a few steps further - in terms of complete decentralization and distribution, a developed attention economy model (there's a lot more to this than getting paid to see content!), network resilience, identity and data ownership, community moderation, smart contracts, and so on.

Also important to note that Synereo does not operate for profit.

Yet you still going to run an IPO..   Would you be willing to make a Proof-Of-Burn crowdsale ?

Things require resources and energy to materialize in this universe.

When the Synereo social network is up and running, there will be no mechanism in place creating profit from ongoing activity on the network. Nothing will be monetized.
No premium services, no pay-to-participate, no walled sections, no advanced features for donors, etc. The company in charge of the development and maintenance of the network and its technology - the one receiving the funds from the crowdsale  - cannot generate profit.

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!

I was looking forward to Synereo's own forums. See you on Discuss Synereo!

cant wait for the ico. when will it start?

[The Bitcoin Co-op]

The crowdsale should be sometime this month! One of our directors looked at the white paper and wrote a comprehensive explanation of Synereo and how/why it works the way it does: http://www.coinssource.com/new-decentralized-social-network-synereo/

Alright, i got one very important question: To acquire the AMPs. Will we require MSC's or BTC's?

Bitcoin only.


Here's a great article posted on Coins Source by Andrew Wagner. It's the first that really manages to capture some of the Synereo essence nicely.
http://www.coinssource.com/new-decentralized-social-network-synereo/

Users are nodes in the Synereo network, and they connect directly to one another. User data is encrypted and divided among the nodes, with redundant copies (in case of node failure) only retrievable by those with rightful access. If you don’t want to expend the small effort to start your own node, it can be done for you by a “gateway,” which “doesn’t have any access to your information, and the key it sends you… can be used to boot up your node locally,” stated Founder and CEO, Dor Konforty.

Synereo Announcement: Bitcoin 2.0 Technology Mass Adoption

See the original announcement of the Synereo project at a Bitcoin 2.0 panel hosted by Dor Konforty.

Dor asks about applications which may lead to mass adoption, and receives answers by Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum), David Johnston (Omni), Lior Yaffe (NXT), and Gideon Greenspan (CoinSpark).

We already have Nxtty, GEMZ even Sendcoin, why do we need this new one?

May it will be different in future.

U should add in oath id social login authentication it will add a bit extra to your coin u may need

Synereo is a whole new, fully featured Social Network, it is not a messaging app like Gemz but a much more complete solution.

Synereo goes a few steps further, some are below:

• complete decentralization and distribution
• a developed attention economy model
• network resilience
• identity and data ownership
• community moderation
• smart contracts
• etc.

Another important fact to note is that Synereo does not operate for profit.

For more info have a read at the OP Post and you can also checkout our blog: blog.synereo.com.

Our whitepaper is soon to be released, you fill find a lot more info about what is Synereo and how it works.

How would you maintain the network with lack of future funding ?  Where do you plan to keep the database (pictures/videos..) and who will pay for that ?

[The Bitcoin Co-op]

Nodes who volunteer to serve those functions get a small portion of all the AMP tokens used as a "transaction fee," not unlike Bitcoin miners getting bitcoins for verifying transactions trustlessly.

[mishax1]

Do you think those nodes can maintain hundreds of petabytes of data ?

Collectively, yes. File sharing networks hold way more than that. For each person with data to store, another node is added to the network. In the real world, volunteers don't even seem to need an incentive like AMPs to seed files, which would be analogous, here.

Hey Misha,

Thank you for these questions. We're happy to see that you're interested.

We're going to have a hangout with the community, answering questions live, this Wednesday 21:00PM GMT.

See the details here:

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Here is an interview with Dor Konforty Synereo's CEO by NewsBTC.

He answers some interesting questions:

• How closely does Synereo's network model follow the brain?
• Are people going to be into AMPlified content?
• How long before our social media is fully decentralized?

And don't forget todays's Synereo Community Hangout at 21:00 GMT.

This week, the Tech team will provide some updates and teasers from their work over the past several weeks.

You are all welcome to join the discussion.

this is a nice project.
