http://cointelegraph.com/news/113724/synereo-attention-economy-and-distributed-cloud-to-deliver-next-generation-social-networksSynereo, a next generation decentralized and distributed social network, has released its whitepaper in which it reveals in great detail how the technology and network model work.
The introduction to the pioneering service, which CoinTelegraph was able to access in an exclusive preview, reads more like a “how to” manual in the spirit of open source rather than yet another social network manifesto.
The tech stack underlying Synereo has been in development for over 4 years and is already being used in existing commercial services. Combining the blockchain with an independent, self-tuning decentralized content delivery network (CDN) is an intriguing idea. The fact that the CDN has been in commercial use for two years quietly slipped under the radar of the cryptocurrency community.
Even more radical is Synereo's proposal that the Internet could achieve a higher order of self-organization through a kind of smart contract they call social contracts. The piece de resistance, however, is their attention economy model.
The unveiling coincides with Synereo’s crowdfunding campaign, where their AMP token, which plays a crucial role in the attention economy, will be sold. The crowdfunding campaign is set to be announced imminently.
Synereo has also launched a new “Learn More” section of its site, complete with a succinct overview of the major pieces in play, all with links to the whitepaper, to blog posts, and to presentations drilling deep into every subject.
