Synereo Community Hangout - Music Publishing

For our second Community Hangout we'll be focusing on music publishing, and the next generation of digital content distribution.

This time, we're featuring some very special guests: Matt Black, of Coldcut fame and founder of the successful indie record label Ninja Tune, and joined by DJ Oil.

Stay tuned for more guests who might be joining!

Join us for the Hangout next Wednesday February the 18th at 21:00 WET on our Google+.

Community Hangout – Content Creation and Distribution TODAY, at 21:00 GMT.

We’re going to talk about content creation and distribution on Synereo, where artists will be able to take complete
control over how they express themselves and enjoy a direct line to their fans, present and future.

Joining us are our advisory board member, Matt Black (Coldcut, Ninja Tune) and DJ Oil.

We’ll also discuss Synereo’s collaborative filtering system as well as how Amplification will help content creators
both by spreading their message and through compensating them for their contributions.

Join us on Google Hangouts on Air.

Fascinating project. I genuinely hope them success. Just don't be evil, Synereo. We'll be watching very closely.

Fascinating project. I genuinely hope them success. Just don't be evil, Synereo. We'll be watching very closely.

We're building something different. We're leaving "don't be evil" behind and going with "can't be evil".

It's work in progress, Synereo's distributed p2p stack is ready and we're creating our social networking application on top of it.
The team is also working on music sharing features so to allow musicians, record labels, etc to be able to share and distribute their content on our platform.

Stay tuned as we will update on progress regularly going forward.

Really great listening to Greg last night, he was enthusiastic as ever about the project and in talking about Synereo's technicals! When I looked into this project there were several pieces that got me really excited, and the incentivization strategy (AMPs) combined with the promotion and social grouping (Reo) I think will make this project succeed. There are a few others who are attempting to provide a decentralized solution, but none of them are nearly as well thought out and put together as Synereo. Its the making of a successful project and definitely something I'm keeping a close eye on!

Here's a question for you fine folks. If the network is decentralized as you've said what controls the development of the platform? Suppose we want to make modifications to the system's architecture and design. Would I be right to assume your plan is to build a self-sustaining autonomous system, e.g. using intelligent algorithms that learn from user behavior to adjust the platform's parameters? I ask this question because of concerns over the potential long-term survival, flexibility, and evolution of Synereo. I realize you don't want any single person or group to have arbitrary control. However, if the system is adaptive as I imagine it then it seems very likely there could be many unforeseen consequences and highly desirable changes in its design which would require some level of human intervention. I'm sure you've considered this. In which case, I need to ask, are the developers in absolute control? What role does the community play in influencing the future of Synereo? In my view, there should be a means to democratically engineer and regulate this system. I'm not talking about the superficial content layer, but the deep structure underlying the network's activity. Will the technically-minded general public have any power to vote or achieve consensus about these matters?

Apologies for putting you on the spot, but I think issues like this need attention.

Now that's my kind of question.
I am a big believer in the wisdom of crowds and in deliberative processes. One of my main passions for Synereo is that it provides cutting-edge collaborative tools for people to engage each other with regardless of physical proximity.
While the Synereo developers are going to be the ones steering the ship, we expect our community to be heavily involved in defining the destination through these tools that we aim to build.

We're also planning on providing simple ways for people to interface directly with the various layers Synereo is built of. Expect a blog post on the subject soon.
Considering the above and with Synereo being open source, it is infinitely open to experimentation. We're planning on making it so you may use different versions of Synereo - and completely different applications - that are still compatible with the network at large, enjoying a different experience and experimental interaction types and governance laws without leaving your friends behind.

Groups are particularly open to such experimentation.

Came to have a look after hearing the pod-cast on LTBcoin  https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/lets-talk-bitcoin-190-the-attention-economy

Will be watching.

Join us tonight at 21:00 GMT for the Synereo Community Hangout on music sharing & social networks.

Our special guests tonight are Bert Lambs & Paul Richards (California Guitar Trio) and Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, and more).

[SynereoCommunity]

When will IPO start?

Details are being finalized. We will make announcements on all our channels when ready, stay tuned. 

[SynereoCommunity]

Learn about Synereo's attention model as well as how Amplification will help content creators spread their message.

Joining us during our Community Hangout were Bert Lambs and Paul Richards of the California Guitar Trio and Tony Levin Official Page (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson).
Interesting to hear Bert, Paul, and Tony share with us their views on music sharing, connecting with their audience, and social networking.

Maybe use prediction markets to figure out which features add most value?

Or do something like what bitshares did and create n of m oracles that sign blocks via dpos and are voted in for what they promise to work on.. They get paid for the work.. And later a vote takes place to see if the code should be merged with the base making a fully autonomous system or DAC... But the idea is the same just applied to social media

great,i wonder when will IPO start?
