Hello. If I need to change the terms of the offer, can I do it if there are partners who are working on it at the moment?
Hello. No. First you need to stop the offer, then you can change it.

Do I need any technical knowledge to create an affiliate network on the HOQU platform?
Register in the affiliate network application, configure at your discretion and work. Knowledge is needed when creating your network using our SDK

How long does it take to consider a partner's complaint about dishonesty on the part of the advertiser or the affiliate network?
Each lead has a hold time. If a lead is not bought within hold time, affiliate can file an appeal. Hold time is extended for appeal processing time. Ā

Hello. If Iā€™m planning to work on the platform via the affiliate networks, will I be able to choose any offer or must my choice be approved by the moderators of this network?
+
Can advertiser set a restriction on the minimum rating of partners that can start to work with his offer?
+
Can the partner network refuse to cooperate with the advertiser if it deems it necessary? Will rating be declined in this case?
In offer settings on HOQU, affiliates are filtered by reputation. In affiliate settings, offers are filtered by ranking and merchants are filtered by reputation. If an affiliateā€™s reputation is too low, they wonā€™t be able to work on HOQU. Advertisers can set a minimum rating of the partner.

Good afternoon everybody. Can users change their role after the registration? What should they do in this case?
Users can't change their role. Separate registration for advertisers Ā and webmasters.

Will the advertiser be able to add new offers using the mobile app or can this be done only with the help of the web version?
Mobile applications will be developed in February 2019

hello, i really want to know about exchanges which i can trade this token??Ā  Smiley
Weā€™re planning to do that a few days after the token sale is over. As for exchanges, weā€™ll provide further information. We already have listing on EtherDelta https://etherdelta.com/#HQX-ETH
Major exchanges are to be listed by the end of token sale as we are currently negotiating with them

Hello. If an advertiser approves lead, will a partner receive payment for it immediately?
+
Hello. If an advertiser approves lead, will a partner receive payment for it immediately?

Hello, yes he will. If all the terms are fulfilled, the payment less commission charged by a platform will be transferred to his account.
If an advertiser refuses the fact of generation of the lead, will I be able to challenge his decision in any way?

Webmasters receive money instantly on request. Momentarily for the lead is unreal, because here is the period of life of the lead in different subjects. Also antifraud can hold time. But in general, the holding period will be far less.
+
Yes, you will

If the partner works on HOQU via an affiliate networks, does this network charge a commission for lead generation?
Yes, it does. Every affiliate can choose own commission, but it will be much cheaper than competitors

Affiliate marketing is a tricky technique and sometimes seems untrustworthy for the people but connecting this with cryptocurrency makes thing easier and smarter worldwilde. Good luck on your idea(and as i dig down more, you created your own luck)

Can't wait to see a live product. I support this kind of solutions because actually Im an affiliate marketer. I know that Russians have best aff networks on the world, so I will register as a publisher for sure. Decentralization probably would give publishers a lot of benefits - more offers, bigger commissions and security.

Thanks for the support, mate!

We have already answered your questions in Russian topic here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.25094608, but we donā€™t mind to answer them again. Hope you are happy with the answers:


4.Ā Ā Ā Civic's identity verification ā€“ Why does a user need the application?

4. Civicā€™s identification will be implemented if they release the functionality that they promise to give to the users. We have tried to work with Civic and their real solution is different from their white paperā€™s product, which looks like a scam. Currently we plan to do KYC by our own.


6.Ā Ā Ā Item 2.6 ā€“ Affiliates will be obliged to return funds. How?

6. For this specific purpose we have implemented allowance method with HQX smart-contract which will deduct tokens from accounts of merchants and affiliates. Ā Merchants can demand to allocate a proportion of payed out tokens as Ā a deposit for affiliates with 0 reputation. This means that a webmaster does not receive an amount of token reward for his job until he earns a higher reputation level so you can say that this amount is always Ā«on holdĀ» until certain critters are met by a webmaster, which guarantees money back in case of disputes.


8.Ā Ā Ā Page 16 ā€“ ā€œA flow of leads that are collected and processed by tracking services for a particular offerā€ ā€“ What are these tracking services, and who controls them? It is a guarantee of validity of the affiliatesā€™ data, yet itā€™s not mentioned. The description is given only after 10 pages in technical part of the document. The issues of self-sufficiency and correct operation arenā€™t addressed. It questions integrity of the platform.

8. Tracking services are the service which track leads. For instance, if you want to track calls - we have an Asterisk server.
During first stages of platform development HOQU will offer tracking service and as platform develops we assume community of merchants and web-masterss will be using other tracking providers.
Another instance: an affiliate networks wants to organise leads auction.
They create separate tracking service which receives leads and sorts them between auction participants.
This feature of registering independent tracking services is possible only if following criterias are met:
- There is a processed deposit which will guarantee tracking service work
- Founders are voting Ā«forĀ» this tracking service registration
- Community members with high reputation may also vote for or against this tracking service registration
This list is not finished and full methodology is to be developed further and will be available to everyone.


9.Ā Ā Ā Item 4.3 ā€“ ā€œData from the blockchain will be collected in real time, then processed and stored
in a relational databaseā€ ā€“ Who owns this database? Are we back to centralization?

9. We will create blockchain explorer on HOQU.com basis with open API. No centralisation is included we just make things easier. If a user wants to create an aggregator he has no need to download and install the blockchain node and read all the info from it.
3rd party programs will also read all the info from explorer and not from blockchain because it is not always appropriate to allow to do this: sometimes we read from the blockchain for a fraction of a second and sometimes more than 60 seconds.



10.Ā Ā Ā Who makes a decision in the appeal centers? Is it under control of the platform? ā€œThe appeal centers have their own rating that is dependent on the adoption of equitable and prompt decisions on appeals arisingā€ ā€“ What is that supposed to mean? What is this rating? Who decides whether it is a fair decision?

10. Appeal centers, similar to Ā tracking services development will be implemented by hoqu.com for the early stages of platform running. Later on there will be a possibility to register independent appeal centers. Lets say that you are an affiliate network and you can create your own appeal center. Other community members and enthusiasts may create independent centers and take a fee for disputes settlement.

11.Ā Ā Ā The calculations inside the system are strange ā€“ ā€œIt is also possible to fix the cost of a lead to any fiat currency. In this case, the value of a lead will be calculated in HQX tokens at the internal exchange rate current at the moment the lead was created on the hoqu.com web serviceā€ ā€“ Exchange-rate volatility may cause profit or loss out of nothing. None of the system participants can predict it.

11. Volatility - is a headache of all the crypto projects. There are a lot of ways how to decrease or eliminate it. The example of connection payout rate to a fiat currency is just one of them. Each participant places his own offer parameters and others decide to work or not on these terms. In other words to take the risks or not. There is a room for intermediaries who will take volatility and FX risks and provide services for platform participants in fait currencies.


12.Ā Ā Ā Page 23 ā€“ Description of the connection to the API ā€“ So, if I donā€™t get an API-key, then I wonā€™t be able to work with a customer? But what about openness? No one will give the keys to newcomers, thus an artificial barrier to entry is made.

12. That is correct. Many affiliate networks do not take in just anyone. There may be restrictions and minimum experience and reputation demand to qualify to enter a particular affiliate network. Others network may create a separate offer for a particular partner. But we imagine most of the affiliate networks to be open.

13.Ā Ā Ā Page 24 ā€“ Anti-Fraud system - Where are these neural networks launched? What was used for machine learning?

13. Neural networks are learning from customersā€™ characteristics. Input parameters: Ā time spent on web-site, activity (number of actions per time), pages jumps, clicks, mouse movements and scroll buttons hits, browser info and etc. To make neural network lear we outsource this feature from a partner so they serve the traffic. Ā Concerning calls - we provide all the info for a neural network by ourselves. We analyse more than 20 characteristics such as call length, time of the day, region code, telephony service provider and etc. Currently we have around 342 thousand calls for studies.

14.Ā Ā Ā Page 25 ā€“ "Each affiliate network can use different plugins for customization, and it is also possible to create custom plug-ins to be made available to affiliates" - What is it? What for?

14. Currently we integrate MarketCall affiliate network into HOQU. Plugins: personal manager panel, on-line chat, affiliate networkā€™s news and ticket systems.

19.Ā Ā Ā Page 34 ā€“ "Potential revenue from these directions for the HOQU platform is not taken into account in the financial model, but it will be present in the actual operation of the platform" - How do leads from these channels get into tracking and system?

19. For each source a partner uses separately rented telephone number of an affiliate network. This allows to track phone calls from any source including radio, printed sources, outdoor and etc. This model is already implemented and successfully working in the MarketCall company.

26.Ā Ā Ā According to the roadmap, NOTHING is ready thus far.

26. We already have almost finished smart contract prototype on a blockchain and MVP, here is the screenshot


The video with the MVP is going to be presented on Monday, 27 of November. For institutional investors we are planning to do a live demonstration face-to-face..

A brief summary:
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā The project is described poorly ā€“ it is unclear to an investor who is not engaged in advertising; there is no mention of the projectā€™s revenue source in the part about Project Economics.
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā Decentralization is very much an open question ā€“ particularly with regard to the relational database, tracking and appeals.
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā Key details of the project i.e. anti-fraud and lead tracker are not described in implementation plan.
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā There are no prerequisites for the rise in the value of tokens in the project. It doesn't really make any sense for platform members to keep tokens in the wallet.
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā To date, the team doesnā€™t have any element completed.


I want to note about your Ā«summaryĀ»:ā€Ø
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā white paper is not a technical paper
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā Our product is really complex to be understood using only technical terms
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā While writing the white paper a lot of material has been cut by our advisors not to clog it and make easier to read and understand. Otherwise the volume would be enormous.
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā There are a lot of preconditions for token price increase. It is a matter of a few week and we Will announce the agreements with partners who are doing marketing by pay per ICO model

From complited features we can name
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā Smart contract prototype
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā Web-application of a web-master
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā Web-application of a merchant


P.S. All technical questions May be asked directly to @eclmadfly by telegram chat.
P.S.S. Respect us and yourself, do not ask the same questions in multiple threads and Telegram chat if you are so savvy in this area.

Melania.io Audit/Creation, Whitepapper, Specs etc.
1.Ā Ā Ā The first WP page is written in terms that are incomprehensible to a person not engaged in advertising business. There is a dedicated editor in the team; the document is intended to send a message to an uninitiated audience, but nevertheless the market issues wonā€™t be clear to an investor.
2.Ā Ā Ā Glossary of key terms appears right after the gist of the project. Why? To read it twice?
3.Ā Ā Ā The quotation: ā€œThe International Advertising Bureau identified the main
problem for internet advertising and performance marketing as the establishing of
common client action accounting mechanisms between advertisers (merchants) and affiliatesā€ requires further specification (name of the Bureau) and references for the text of the paper/report/artcle/.
4.Ā Ā Ā Civic's identity verification ā€“ Why does a user need the application?
5.Ā Ā Ā Item 2.3 is not described at all.Ā  Take it on trust?
6.Ā Ā Ā Item 2.6 ā€“ Affiliates will be obliged to return funds. How?
7.Ā Ā Ā There is a lack of real-life examples ā€“ How does the market work now and how will it work with HOQU. (the second part is partially described on page 16)
8.Ā Ā Ā Page 16 ā€“ ā€œA flow of leads that are collected and processed by tracking services for a particular offerā€ ā€“ What are these tracking services, and who controls them?

4952+97421!=104684
16.Ā Ā Ā Who needs tokens? A merchant buys them for fiat to pay for his task. A realizer gets them and converts back into fiat. What's the point of the tokens? Who will need them on the exchange?
17.Ā Ā Ā Predictions for the future growth of the platform are not well-reasoned.
18.Ā Ā Ā In the part about Project Economics, how the platform raises revenues is not mentioned. Previously in the text, a passing reference to 0.5% fee was made, but there is no information about it in the main section.
19.Ā Ā Ā Page 34 ā€“ "Potential revenue from these directions for the HOQU platform is not taken into account in the financial model, but it will be present in the actual operation of the platform" - How do leads from these channels get into tracking and system?
20.Ā Ā Ā Page 34 - HOQU team gets 30% of all tokens issued and an additional 10 % of 65% of all realized tokens? Why both?
21.Ā Ā Ā Page 34 ā€“ What is the difference between Global Expansion and Marketing? Why are these items divided?
22.Ā Ā Ā A chart on page 35 lacks sufficient substantiation; even an "optimistic growth scenario" in macro parameters (market share etc) is not described.
23.Ā Ā Ā Page 38 ā€“ Fiat deposit and withdrawal fees are not taken into account. In respect to big companies, there is an accounting issue ā€“ How do you balance the books? Target customer segment is big companies, and bookkeeping take precedence for them.
24.Ā Ā Ā Page 38 ā€“ ā€œEasy startā€ ā€“ Iā€™ve visited the current team project, upon which everything is being done - https://www.marketcall.ru/ - There is no hint of Easy start, FAQ at the beginning of the project occupy dozens of pages.
25.Ā Ā Ā  Pictures are not translated to Russian. Comments below are given partially.
26.Ā Ā Ā According to the roadmap, NOTHING is ready thus far.


A brief summary:
ā€¢Ā Ā Ā The project is described poorly ā€“ it is unclear to an investor who is not engaged in advertising; there is no mention of the projectā€™s revenue source in the part about Project Economics.
