Topic: [ANN] ♬ Opus - Beta-Ready Decentralized Music Sharing; Running on IPFS and ETH ♬ - page 97. (Read 108610 times)

Despite the fact that I wear the signature, I have many doubt about this project.

We got Bitcoin & Ethereum. IPFS is simply just the next big thing and thus, seeing that this project is use both IPFS & Ethereum is a good point.

I've been reading the whitepaper really fast, it might be possible that I missed the point. It is also possible that you already answer the question (a basic Q&A could be good, there are always too much gerbish comments on announcements thread to read everything). Do not hesitate to point me out to somewhere that have the answer instead of losing your time repeating things  


You are comparing your service to Spotify and Deezer which are streaming platforms. Both allow us to :

- Listen music for free (no subscription plan), even if they pay for, because adds are giving enough income.
- Listen music without adds or limit with a pay subscription plan.

I may have badly understand Opus, but it doesn't seems like it is a streaming platform and doesn't allow any of the 2 points above. But then, why would you compare to Spotify & Deezer ? If it is not a streaming platform, how is it different from some kind of decentralized marketplace we already have ?
Do we have to pay for each song we would like to listen ? (big deal) Can we download and listen music offline ? (this one isn't a big deal because in ~ 10 years, we'll all have unlimited data and network everywhere).


Your are speaking about 0 censorship. I don't understand. Is there a team at Opus who will valid songs ?
Let's study a case with the lovely Taylor Swift. Let's say she releases a new song :

- Spotify :
She connects to her account who has been validated by Spotify team. She had to provide documents proving she is Taylor Switf while registering her account.
She sends her song to Spotify and negotiate a price per 10k/listening. Spotify release the song.
If someone other than Taylor Switf try to send Taylor Swift song, it will not get accepted because the guys doesn't have the right on it.

- Opus :
Does the artist have to provide proof of ownership on the song ? How do you protect artist from stealing ?
If Opus team is monitoring new songs to protect artist from this, who tell us that you're not censoring others song ?

Also, does an artist have to pay for uploading one song ? Because IPFS storage cost some money. If not, who pays for it ? Opus ?

What will be incentive for users to pay for song?

Sure, we have also developed most of Opus out of our own pockets. However, to go mainstream and take on the giants of Spotify, that raised $1B on debt, a few donations will be difficult.
Having musicians at this stage is a little early, we would like to make sure all aspects of the platform are as easy to use and technologically smooth for the average listener before going mainstream.
It would be anti-productive to have mainstream listeners at this point while the tech is still in the infancy.

Nevertheless, having some artists are beneficial, and we have 4-5 musicians ready to join us and test the program.

What do you think of Musicoin that already have working alpha platform, every day updating and improving, plus they have a lot of musicians already posting their music? And all of that was done without any money involved. Just a bunch of people working on project.
They even dont have ICO and premine. Just a little donations from mining pools.

I'd say maybe look at a few things in the bounty program that are less questionable.  Some people here make valid points then these guys on the bounty program come in without getting into much detail straight to something positive and how much they love Opus without addressing the persons concerns/views.  I think that you'd be better off and have better credibility without these posters as no constructive discussion comes about it.  There have been very credible ICO's like Civic which I believe did not have a bounty program so any enthusiasm or positivity is from real discussions and more so organic than incentivized positivity, which I dare say is more to be used for pump and dump ICO's and the like.  Hope that helps

We definitely do not ask people to spam and post only good things. We always recommend bounty participants to read and fully understand the technology. If there are any constructive posts or posts that add to a discussion, it's completely fine.

To be honest, we are mostly developers and engineers so we are learning the bounty program as well

It sounds like you're the idiot here that doesn't know how to speak or comprehend english buddy.  "your question were idiot"
"the team won't give free tokens to those who say shits on their project". No kidding?!  Damn you're a genius, you should start your own ICO!

do your due dilligence. your question were idiot. the team won't give free tokens to those who say shits on their project

I'am an investor,i bought the pre sale and i believe in that project.

Great feedback!  Why don't you educate me since you're so smart? 

Oh by the way you're doing a great job at representing Opus seeing that in your signature.  Keep it up!

idiot!

It's most likely not just the team and more so the people who bought the ICO's because people who buy them outnumber the developer holdings usually.  The ICO buyers do a quick flip and so the prices go down.  It's almost pointless to buy during ICO like you say, the prices become cheaper when it hits the exchanges, but I've noticed some exceptions and that depends on a few things.   I don't like that Opus has a bounty incentivizing people to post positive comments etc blindly.

You're right, I've seen that and it's why I believe in this project.
But I would like to have the point of view of Opus more globally on this point.

Yes I did and what happened all ICO is cheaper to buy from exchanges as the value will be the same as it was in the ICO but then the Team will sell their coins to make profit and make lots of money for their own pockets, Same old story, I have been here for more than 4 years and this is what will happen, want to bet?

Is the opus bounty program basically paid enthusiasm and positivity?  Because that's how it sounds like atm.  

Yes, the team's maintenance and updates are very important for coins, and I believe the team will develop the coins very well in the future.

Whatever happened to some of the past projects that failed, doesn't reflect any projects credibility and authenticity nowadays.
Opus has a great and active team. A clear and visible plans for the future as seen on the Roadmap.

Hi, thanks for your support. Here the details

Token Name: OPT
Address: 0x4355fC160f74328f9b383dF2EC589bB3dFd82Ba0
Decimal: 18

Hi

Looks very promising. How can I add the token as a custom token in myetherwallet?

Not at all, Did you invest at all the ICO's lately?

Opus has unique concept. This project will be successful after the ICO end.

I rather buy after,,,all the ICO so far later when it sells in the exchange is cheaper as the team will sell their coins to make more money like it happened with TENX, we have learnt our lessons! no more ICO!  Team will sell their coins, DO not invest in ICO you will lose your investment
