What is the minimum contribution to this project and what currencies are accepted for payment? I would like as much as possible to buy these tokens. I think they can fly to the moon in the future as the platform will be connected with the real business sector.

Yes, it would be interesting this award would be like in adsense or more. And also what are the requirements for the quality of content.

The project looks just fine. It looks like it will be in demand by society. Where can I read more about the award for authors.

Attending more conference will also help you to get more awareness about the project and your development. Through NEO blockchain you will become very prominent in the market with the developments you do? Do you have any plan to launch your own main net in the near future?

And yet, I believe that there should be alternative YouTube channels. They began to restrict the authors of the video too much.

Looks very interesting. I had a similar experience with Youtube.

Yeah, NEO has many strengths - one of them being a very enthusiastic and engaged community. It's still early days for marketing the Conjure project, and our Private Presale begins in a few weeks, but we're grateful to be part of such a wonderful community.

We will also have a couple of our guys at the NEO DevCon next month, so if you're around, stop by and say hello!

Wonderful I know about the bounty planning, your project will get more awareness when people start spreading the word about your project but one thing makes me convinced is because you project is being launched under NEO blockchain which will get huge applause from the community.

Thanks for the question, dzkrb. Help me understand your question a little better.

Are you talking about the excessive amount of advertising on the web and content platforms?
And how the more and more advertisements a person views, the less effective they are?

The question is the following. Don't you think that there are a lot of marketing and advertising platforms? When there are too many of them, they lose their meaning. How to overcome the immunity from excessive advertising in the inhabitant?

Yeah, working directly with content creators is a big component of our marketing plans. It will be a mix of targeting both Token Sale participants and content creators.

What we've learned from other projects who have dabbled in this area, is that they actually seem to "scare off" a lot of creators because of the complexity of their product and pitch - many content creators aren't all that familiar with the concepts of cryptocurrency and blockchain. We want the Conjure product to reach both the crypto community and the creator community. This is something we focus on with the demo we're finishing up as well, which is meant to show more of the unique UI/UX design of Conjure.

Thank you so much for the very clear explanation.
Now, you have to sell that to all the content creators out there. They need to see the benefits of your platform at a glance.
I know you can't get them on board so fast. But word of mouth is a very good marketing tool.
You should develop your platform fast and expose it to as many creators as you can.

in my opinion this project is very complete. forward and developing depending on their efforts. if it's run according to the road map, I'm sure this project will be very advanced

We are currently finishing and polishing up the Conjure demo/prototype, we'll add it to the Conjure website in the next week or so. It focuses mostly on the unique UI/UX design of the Conjure platform. Once that is released, we will be taking the feedback from the community into consideration and using it to help build out the MVP.

All news related to development progress will be shared on our Telegram, Twitter, and all the other social media accounts, so follow us for updates!

Thanks for the feedback and questions, TimeTeller.

In response to the first portion of your reply, I agree with you and acknowledge the existence of other content platforms. Not only BuzzShow, but a handful of others that seek to address the issue of content monetization. But when looking at these projects collectively at face value, that's really the main benefit they plan to provide. Many seem to clone a YouTube or Instagram, slap blockchain on top of it, and say "here ya go!"

We see this as solving only half of the problem. The other half is the idea of content discovery - how users find content and creators.

Content discovery and content monetization are directly tied to one another; the former is how users find content, and the latter is how ads are placed on that content. Advertisers want to show their ads to people who are most likely to act upon them. How do existing content platforms accomplish this goal? They operate on traditional horizontal search technology - monetization is facilitated through centralized algorithms that allows the platform to place ads on content at a large scale. The system acts as a bridge between users and advertisers; it offers users a way to find this content (keyword inputs), and it offers advertisers a way to place ads on that content (keyword inputs).

Here's a simple example: a user visits YouTube and searches "best gaming PC builds" and selects a video from the page of returned results. A few minutes in, he is served an advertisement for NVIDIA's newest graphics card. YouTube need users to participate in the keyword-carousel of horizontal search, so they can feed them into their monetization system and generate ad revenue.

A platform that operates on this horizontal model of content discovery has a number of disadvantages. For one, it is extremely difficult to break through and gain traction as a new creator. Searching "gameplay" will return the same number of videos on the first page of results in 2019 as it did in 2010. However, the amount of content creators operating in the gaming niche is exponentially greater today. Content discovery remains static, while the content pool swells. With static discovery models like this, new entrants (creators) face a discouraging, uphill battle. They're much more likely to get buried than show up in a user's search results. This environment brings with it a number of problems, which only get worse with growth and age. How do new creators get discovered? How will users find new and interesting content?

So when other blockchain projects, that may seem similar to Conjure, seek to create a better alternative, they identify monetization as the key issue. This is true, however, they fail to capitalize on the new ecosystem they create as a byproduct of decentralizing monetization. By shedding reliance on centralized monetization, there's no longer an obligation to adhere to the outdated methods of content discovery - but these other projects do. They provide decentralized content monetization, while retaining centralized content discovery.

Conjure's Approach

So, we decided to not only solve the issue of monetization, but to capitalize on it and provide a new architecture for content discovery. To do this, we looked for classification systems that scale with the growth of information. Eventually, we began toying around with Linnaean Taxonomy. This system has been around for a few hundred years, and has successfully organized all life on Earth into a logical framework. No matter how diverse the organism, taxonomy can accommodate - from the gentle sunflower to the humpback whale.

We chose to take this structure and incorporate it within Conjure. Where Taxonomy sorts organisms based on characteristics, Conjure will sort content based on community. We took horizontal search model and applied vertical depth to it, providing specific communities and niches for creators to operate in. This provides room for new entrants, and specific places to find new content. To offset this vertical depth, we apply an aggregative structure, so no matter how specific a niche is, quality content can rise to greater audiences.

So, in summation, I would say that the difference between Conjure and the rest is a focus on new, superior methods of content discovery. I apologize for rambling on, but it really is an important question to answer - I hope all this gave you some insight on how we're unique!

There are several content platforms already launched here in the forum like the buzzshow (they have the beta app already).
What would be your main advantage over them? You are aiming to raise a $3M-dollar soft cap to start this project?
I would say, that's more than enough to get you going.
Also, if you can release your alpha app before your main sale, that would be nice for the investors.

Great question. So, the 20% "Rewards" allocation is an umbrella term (abbreviated in the graphic above to save room) that includes mainly 2 things: rewards for quality content contribution, and business development.

The business development portion includes amounts that will be used to pursue and build strategic partnerships, as well as conduct bounty and/or airdrop campaigns.

So to answer your question, yes, we have plans in the works for bounty or airdrop campaigns. We will be sharing more details in the near future, so be sure to join our Telegram, Twitter, or subscribe to our newsletter located on our website to stay updated!

I think till now they didn't announce anything about the bounties, rewards will be treated here maybe they will share those with the people who hold their coins. Otherwise, we need to get updated information from the team whether they will announce any bounty campaign or not.

You have token allocations of around 20% or 20 million of the total supply for rewards, so do those allocations include campaign or bounty programs? Are your MVP available?

Yes, after hearing all the creator complaints on YouTube, I decided to launch my own channel back in late summer 2017. I spent a few months building it up, testing niches, and figuring out the best ways to reach users. It grew pretty quick - a subscriber base of around 16k subscribers. Much of what I learned has been extremely useful in the development and design of Conjure.

Ironically, my channel got demonetized a couple months ago. I hadn’t posted a video in over a year, but I tried my best to get the channel remonetized and go through that process the same as any other content creator would. It’s been a huge pain and YouTube has been of little help, so I can imagine how frustrating it is for full-time content creators who depend on the ad revenue.
