Do you compete guys already?


it's really awesome to get free FTR tokens

Already starting with 1 million users with the platform Open-Hours that is awesome not starting from the beginning from 0 but already a bunch of users and more and more will come because of that with the right amount of marketing things will get very big very soon.

Unlike many other blockchain startups, we have a solid starting point with an existing platform that generates
more than 1 million monthly users called OpenHours.
OpenHours is an online service and platform that provides users with information about the opening hours of
different businesses (shops, restaurants, hotels, shopping centers, services, etc.). The platform spread across the EU
and USA in the last decade. Due to superior SEO (search engine optimization), OpenHours receives more than 1
million organic monthly user visits. Years of advanced data scraping gave OpenHours a large database of businesses.
The current platform is not one dimensional though. It’s users engage with the platform by adding reviews,
photos, correcting opening hours and adding other business information.

With pleasure I will contribute to Futourist.

Futourist is based on reviews because they are one of the most helpful and trustworthy information found on the
internet. On top of that, reviews and star ratings are directly related with business revenue. This makes reviews a
perfect example where information should be monetized by the creator, not only the business.
Futourist is based on fair distribution of rewards underlined by the blockchain technology. The entire internal
economy within Futourist will be based on Futourist token (FTR). This will make Futourist a transparent, trustworthy
platform, where the economy and rewards are distributed among all the content creators in a fair way.

TRAVEL LOTTO GIVEAWAYS
Often when we travel we need different things for our journey — like for example a quality camera to take great photos to remind us of the places we have traveled to. When Futourist influencers (reviewers with a great deal of community respect) will want to reward back their community or increase their rep they will throw a giveaway of all the cool stuff they get from different companies related to traveling and tourism. Users interested for the giveaways will be able to use their FTRs to join the lottery and get the chance to win one of the prizes. Those will have an actual usage for the users next trip.

And don’t think we forgot about the business side of things.
SERVICE REWARD IMPLEMENTATION

This one will be one of our top priorities. Matching the right services with the right customers is the holy grail. For both sides. The platform will come equipped with a dashboard where businesses can offer time-limited offers for services or products exclusive to Futourist.

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

As more and more people start onboarding the Futourist platform the amount of customer data will begin to increase. This kind of information should prove very beneficial to travel providers, restaurants, leisure equipment producers, hoteliers and many others.

In-depth analytics will be available to businesses for every quarter in exchange for FTR tokens. We’ll provide them with:

• Measurable results of running contests and platform positioning,

• quarterly reviews, reach and audience reports,

• improvement suggestions,

• offer suggestions,

• time period comparison.

This information will improve their service and help them better understand their customers.

Easy as 1,2,3
There’s actually a few more features and we want to keep them for later in order not to overwhelm you with all of them. But for the end we want to highlight one of the most exciting ones.

Futourist Payment Card.
It’s our ultimate goal. This will bring the full benefits of blockchain to everyday users. Simple to use, it will allow you to pay with tokens anywhere, where the card is accepted. No hassle, no long addresses, no exchanges. And to make this happen we have already partnered up with an innovative payment card company. Futourist will get closer to the masses and will introduce them to the potential of the blockchain in an easier way with this card.

Who should participate ; EVERYONE ! 

thanks man I checked it out and this looks really potential project I want to invest.  Found you on twitter also https://twitter.com/futouristinfo  Pretty nice

We have been asked several times what main features will the Futourist platform offer its users. Sure, we could just list them here, you skim through and we are done with it. But we’re not going to do that. Instead, why don’t you let us take you on a little journey and try to paint the experience that the Futourist platform has to offer. You ready? Ok, let’s go.
 
Imagine yourself in an exciting moment at your dream destination. Take your pick, this could be anywhere in the world (or outer space). Release your imagination. Really, try it.
 
Are you there yet? Great. Now, think about how your experience looks like; what are you doing; what are you wearing; who did you meet; what are you eating? Let it all sink in then dwell on it for a second.

Do you have it? How does it make you feel? If you’re anything like us it’s probably one of the best things in your life and it would be great if you could share it with other people, right?

And here comes the real kicker — what if you could get rewarded for sharing this experience? With Futourist you can.

For all newbies



What is Futourist?
Futourist is the first travel review platform that rewards their users through building a fair blockchain-based economy where all - reviewers, businesses and casual consumers - get the most benefit for participating. It’s a place where future tourists will make decisions about where they are spending their precious time.

Why have we decided to launch Futourist?
Because there are only a handful of people who have managed to turn their content into profit, while the majority of content creators are left out without anything. Platforms associated with content do not pay their users for creating, sharing and curating content. And a large part of that content are reviews.

What is our solution?
Our solution is aimed to build the first platform in the world that rewards users for creating, sharing and curating reviews. That way somebody who has a regular job and creates content as a hobby now has a chance to earn money on the side. That comes instantly without struggling years and years to come to a certain point of creating some stream of revenue for themselves.

How big is the potential market?
Revenue of content industry was worth more than $ 190 billion in the year 2016 and is expected to be worth more than $ 313 billion by the year 2019
From early researchers it is estimated that almost $ 31 billion a year of UK consumer spending is potentially influenced by online reviews
The market cap of travel review industry in 2015 was worth more than $ 1 billion in North America alone
UN World Tourism Organization is projecting 1.8 billion tourists by 2030


What do we have available until now?
Unlike many other blockchain startups, we already have an existing and working platform – OpenHours – available to us with more than 1 million monthly users.


Wait what? How is OpenHours connected to Futourist?
OpenHours is an existing website with over 1 milion monthly users. We are going to connect OpenHours to our blockchain protocol, delivering contest and token distribution services, turning OpenHours to new product - Futourist.s


When will the Futourist platform officially launch?
Futourist platform will officially launch after the second half of 2018.


What is the grand vision of our team?
We want to build a platform that will change the perception of content creator’s value, bring balance between them and the world of business and by awarding them with tokens for their reviews. We want Futourist to become one of the most practical applications of blockchain technology, with the intention of bringing benefits of blockchain to everyday use

You want to know more about project?


Take half hour and read more

Also just a few suggestions for the project:

1) Inevitably people will start asking why does project need to be tokenized/need to be on the blockchain. Reward points would just as easily fulfill most of the functions of your tokens. Hope you have an answer and possibly add that to the FAQ section in your website.

2) Have some admins in the telegram group to cater to asian timezones. Seems admins are scarce during the late morning/early afternoon periods during asian times.

I am interested in the workings of futourists who focus on video reviews and catering influencers. We can  to review anything travel related, anywhere, at any time. From restaurants to accomodation, parks, things to do, transport etc. It's great, I want to know more about futourist.

Hi, could you upload pictures and information on your core team members + advisors on the website?

Right now i cant seem to find any info regarding the team on your website. I know that theres been mention of this in the forum thread, but it would help if you could get such info uploaded on the website.

Cheers and looking forward to participating in your ICO.

Great community response

We had and still have an overwhelmingly positive response from our awesome community

We get messages from travelers, bloggers, reviewers, photographers, crypto enthusiasts, people that have heard for blockchain for the first time and many others… There are also many influencers that have written us for possible collaborations and other people that want to help us in many different ways.

A very good indicator that we are also going in the right direction is our Futourist Community Competition. We have started it with the purpose of rewarding our supporters with Futourist tokens.

Security is important

Futourist.io 


To protect our users against diverse abuse scenarios, Futourist will deploy multiple layers of security and protection based on:

the Futourist protocol itself,
auxiliary protection systems including the existing OpenHours architecture and infrastructure,
unsupervised machine learning to identify new abuse patterns,
possible use of third-party systems,
ultimately, human involvement and decision-making.
Concerning fake reviews specifically, there are many factors of how to slow them, if not completely shutting them down. We can’t guarantee 0% abuse, but we have many layers of protection to stop it (as it was already written):

moderators that will be rewarded for curating and detecting fraud,
starting with pilot contests in order to receive data, learn from that and implement machine learning,
plain, short text reviews will have lesser weight than reviews with video and photos which means less reward for that review.

There is definitely room for an authentic review platform, no doubt about that. That's why an integration with other platforms where you can be sure that content is authentic (personal instagram posts and alike) could also make a lot of sense.

FTR token is not a one-dimensional token. It’s use is not meant for holding it and waiting to increase in value.

In order to keep the token circling it will have multiple uses inside our micro-economy system. Our token model is built around supply and demand between businesses, reviewers and other participants in Futourist micro-economy. Token in its utility form acts as a value transfer tool between business participants and ordinary users that bring value to the platform. Participants in the Futourist micro-economy can use FTR tokens in various ways. The core of it is that reviewers get rewarded with FTR tokens, and businesses give away FTR tokens in order to incentivize review creation through contests and many other features (1:1 chat and tip4tip, travel lotto — giveaways, bucket list, achievements…).

Looking forward to see what this project brings us  wishing you all the best
