Hello OPUS

Just wanted to know

How would you differentiate yourself from

Voise
Musiccoin
and other
similar coin in Decentralized Music Sharing industry?

Less than 2 days for the Pre-sale to start, cant wait.

Hi, Thanks for asking us. In regards to this, I'm not too familiar with Decent but from what I know, they are trying to build, and I cite, a reputation system of some kind, some kind of netflix, An Amazon(?) and I quote "Are Into internet of things". And a chrome cast device. (To be honest I'm not sure how they are planning to do this and their whitepaper not very detailed and they seem focus mostly on buying tokens rather than the technical side; I cite here. "The best way how to make money when you see the potential is to buy DCTs". I won't make any comments regarding their legitimacy as I do respect all competition in the field, but I do question their grandiose ambition of targeting every market, even IOT which has very little to do with music.

What Opus is building is specifically and targeted towards music sharing. We have a working infrastructure IPFS/ETHEREUM demo and our Beta is public. http://opus-foundation.com/demo.html Our code is also written and open-source you can check it out here https://github.com/Opus-foundation/contracts Unlike many projects we dont just make wild claims, we are mostly computer scientists and developers and so we focus on the product.

For more info please do refer to the fAQ http://opus-foundation.com/faq.html and read our whitepaper.

My goodness
Main posted here
No wonder I never found a list of avatar activities
Look for the wrong list and always think I'm not in the list

These days i am much confused about certain similar projects  , please let us know what the different between recently lunch tokens Decent platform and Opus ? also do you plan to develop owned blockchain ?
Thanks

On the music project, I think it will be very popular in the future and look forward to its success.

These are good questions.
On the core player (Player by the Opus foundation) we will follow all measures to identify and remove the infringing content that exist on the network. We will not permit copyright infringing content. If we found copyrighted content we will try our greatest efforts to claim revenue back if the artist can prove ownership.

Regarding 3rd party players. These are using APIs and not endorsed Opus foundation but, like anything blockchain related, they can also use the infrastructure that the running on IPFS and Ethereum. This means that they may be a small risk of rogue players sharing copyright infringing songs. But you should keep in mind that this has nothing to do with Opus foundation. Think (Bittorrent and Piratebay) are nothing related but they use the same infrastructure (P2P)

Ofcourse on the internet there will always be imposters and rogue 3rd party players, however, so does Piratebay exist and fewer and fewer people use it. This is because most people care about the artist and want a great experience vs pirated content on a rogue player that could be shut down at any moment. Think (Napster).
Nevertheless, in both situations the Opus network will grow and our budget would increase because the more people use the infrastructure, the great the value of the system. (This kind of reminds me of Bitcoin in 2012, people were afraid it would only be used for crime, but nowadays people use it for everything because in the end the legitimate service will always win)

Also the dev team is considering to implement an Oracle system that people can "Judge" on legitimate uploads, but because we don't have this planned or experimented this Oracle system just yet we have omitted this from the post.

Hope this clears it up and for more information check our website

If you read the whitepaper, you will find that the development located in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

While the CEO and CTO are chinese, this project is not from China. We will however be focusing on the chinese market as it is a expanding market in terms of music.


Polo can never be guaranteed, however we are reaching out to major exchanges such as bittrex to incorporate our ERC20 compatible token as soon as possible

Very interesting project 
As someone in the Media Industry there is just a few things I hope you don't mind clarifiying

- How will you protect copyright material and infringment?
Anyone can just pass themselves off to be an artist and upload tracks belonging to other artists..and claim it is for them

How will you protect these artists and what measures you have in place to verify those making the copyright claims are actually genunine..

Also in the event of this happening and say the real artist discovers that their material is being used by someone else several months later and revenue has been generated..would there be anyway of
a) Claiming the revenue back
b) Finding out the identities of those that have "Stolen" material and passed it on as theirs


Just this little bit if you can clarify would be great

apart from that excellent project

I see the CEO and CTO  are Chinese, so this project is from China, am I right?

Does it mean opus will be added by polo once the ico sale finished?

Yeah maybe this project will be the revolution in the music industry

Very good project. Very good team. I want you to succeed.

I took an hour to read the whitepaper and got thunderstuck. great-planned project is coming and will completely bring freedom to the whole world with their evolution.

Okay, thanks for the information and other bounty offerings, I will go there. 
Have a good day Dev and team. 

I am happy to be part of this movement. This is one of the best sports I have ever joined.

It's right here sir

Also, Last day of submissions for applications as a Community Manager!
Read the Bounty Thread  (very top part of the post for more details!)

NOTE: CM's are rewarded with their work with bounty stakes
So I you have what it takes to manage the Opus community threads, apply now.

Thanks  

Wow.. The reward given is very interesting. His project idea is cool, nicer than your competitor.
But I did not find a bounty thread in the sub marketplace, maybe I missed it, can you tell me?

I really wouldn't call them a competitor. Voise is just a rename of a coin that you can only use on their "concept platform".
