It's very great to finally mark a full circle, everyone stands profit!

Hi!

Yes, definitely! The accommodation providers (hotels etc.) will be able to post simple offers - e.g. "Spend a night in a double-bed room for 800 FTR". A user will be able to accept the offer with a click or two.

I do not quite understand, users determine the amount of the reward themselves or it puts automatically?

Hi!

Yes, besides the internal circular economy inside the platform, there is a loop where our token will go through the token exchanges as well. Eveyone will be able to spend FTR on the platform and get some benefits in return. But the loop I am talking about focuses on Businesses buying tokens on exchanges and spending it on the platform. Still, have in mind that every user (not just businesses) will be able to spend tokens on Futourist - buying offers the businesses are posting, subscribing to influencers, playing travel lotto and other features of the platform. So every user gets benefits by buying FTR on an exchange.

There is no allocation of tokens for this. The demand made by businesses will be satisfied by the supply offered on exchanges. If not, the token price will rise, which is good for all of you crowdsale investors.

now people read reviews about various places of rest in different sources.
and the idea of making a single source of reliable information is a great idea.
But how are you going to fight the responses that people will write themselves about their own company? how objective will they be?

Will your app contain advertising? Excepting businesses that added on the map and now promoted by tokens.

Hi!

Yes, a public pre-sale announcement will be released very soon, so stay tuned for a few more days! There will be a reasonable bonus for the pre-sale. And there will be a maximum contribution in the first week of pre-sale, later the contributions will not be limited. But as I said.. The next official announcement will make everything clear for you. The Bitcointalk announcement post will be edited after.

Hi!

The answer is that the most of the leftover funds will be spent on building the community, which is the key to success of a such consumer-oriented platform. Don't forget that having a very small hardcap still presents a huge potential for an increase of the FTR token price once it hits exchanges. Still.. You are not the first one requesting a larger portion of the token supply to be available in the crowdsale. Stay tuned, we're making a big announcement about our crowdsale model next week, and I think the changes we will implement are going to please you in this sense!

Hi!

Our categories will revolve around travel topics. Here are some examples of categories and subcategories:
- Around me now (all nearby reviews)
- Food & Drinks (Restaurants, Bars,...)
- Things to do (Parks, activities, attractions, nightlife, sightseeing, historic monuments...)
- Accommodation (Hotels, apartments, hostels,...)

Hi there.

Gamification pratices will be used across the app.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND BADGES
Achievements are milestones a user can complete. They give the user a future goal within the app and therefore
increases the user retention. Example achievements: “First to review a park in Berlin”, “Reviewed 20 places in 1
week”, “Curated 1000+ reviews”, “No. 1 reviewer in January”, etc.
Users will collect digital badges for doing something special. Digital badges are going to be displayed publicly on
user accounts. Achievements and badge collection are proven gamification mechanics. The point of them is to
boost users engagement, give users a purpose and just make the app more fun to use.
Apart from the achievements users may get additional badges like “Early supporter” for all of you reading our
whitepaper and being amongst the first supporters-.

LEVELS
Account level represents the state and trust of this account and is visible publicly. Users level up their accounts
by contributing to the platform in various ways (posting reviews, curating, reporting, creating guides…). High
level accounts get more respect from the community and getting to a high level unlocks additional features only
available to the most trusted reviewers. Levels is another proven gamification technique that incentivizes the user
to contribute more.

ONBOARDING
Nobody likes learning, that’s why the onboarding phase (tutorial phase) is one of the key points in user experience
where users must not be intimidated by the app. Game development industry has found various ways of implementing
tutorials without players even feeling like they are in a tutorial, but rather that they’re just playing the
game as it is. We’ll make the initial onboarding phase clear and easy, without much textual instructions.

Hi!

That's a good question. The answer is somewhat long.
Bot accounts can be identified and limited through things like phone verification and especially AI finding bot behavior patterns in the fake account activity log.
In the case of 1000 fake upvotes, our AI mechanism will have an easy task of identifying this pattern. A simple way of the top of my head would be comparing view count and reactions to video. Also looking at the geolocation and timeframes of the upvotes etc.
The point being here that fraudulent actions can not be prevented in advance, but they can be traced down. And rewarding users only after the community has their say about it gives us enough time to identify possible frauds.

"Contest has the following parameters:
• Title-e.g. "Review burger places in your Town"
• Location of the contest-e.g. United Kingdom
• Start date of the contest
• End date of the contest
• Token Rewards (reward pool) "
This part is clear to me, but on what principle will be the choice of the venue of the competition?

"A user can act both as A reviewer and a curator at the same time."
 In this case, will the curator be limited to the evaluation of his video? Does this happen in automatic mode? How is the fairness of evaluation guaranteed?

Here you are right this is a new era between users and business. And also quite another attitude of users among themselves. Every action should be beneficial. And it's cool.

I like that this should be beneficial for both businI like that this should be beneficial for both business and users. In my opinion this will create a very loyal audience and high-quality advertisingss and users.

"CURATOR
The curator is a registered user that reads the content and uses upvotes/downvotes to evaluate his/her chosen
reviews. A user can act both as a reviewer and a curator at the same time. The user must register on Futourist in
order to receive the rewards. "


How do I understand the curator can be any user of the platform? Or it will be necessary to pass the selection.?

In any case, when the tokens come to the exchange it will essentially be money you can sell them and get the dollars and even if the hotel is not in the system then you will pay for your vacation.

I can pay tokens for example hotel accommodation?

Before all, 25% that will be sold on crowdsale. Businesses will be able to add itself on the "map", users will been making their reviews and will get their rewards, they will be able to spend their tokens in added businesses by buying food or drink, businesses will get those tokens and will spend them on promoting, platform will take this tokens and give them to users for their reviews as rewards.
Loop.

I am sure that this application will help to develop business in the regions where the video will be made. All enterprises from the tourist infrastructure will be interested in the support of Futourist. It would be desirable to see on a platform Openhours addition of more cities.
 I will take part in ICO.
