referral program on the blockchain? what exactly does this mean, how will you achieve it?
The referral program is for users to be come advocates of the Postalgia platforms, and to get rewarded for introducing new users to the platform.
We aim to tokenize this with the use of smart contracts.

probably an ICO? should be some more info on that if any, or the token itself, seems confusing for new users, very little info here
Why a new thread? they tend to hold alot of critical thoughts people should see...

Every photo is a capture of a moment that’s forever gone and impossible to recreate. Today, we archive life's special moments by capturing them with our camera phones. Yet many of these digital photos are forgotten and become unnecessary bytes in our phones that take up memory space.

Every photo print is a physical memento that holds a special story, each waiting to be told and reminisced. You see, sharing a photo print allows us to connect in many ways that wouldn’t be possible with a digital image. It is a wonderful way to share snippets of your life. It fosters relationships and brings us closer together with a moment that we all care about.
At Postalgia, we put our heart and soul into delivering High Quality photo prints to you. They are great as gifts, framed up, or simply sprawled all over your wall.

The Business
Postalgia Prints and its related services are fully owned by ALUNA CREATIONS PTE. LTD. (UEN: 201311961G), a legal entity registered in 2013 in the Republic of Singapore.
What started out as a side project and proof-of-concept has come a long way and now grown into a fully profitable business with over 10,000 registered users, and hundreds of unique monthly users. As the leading online photo printing app in Singapore, our products have gone through drastic improvements, and we can proudly say that our photo prints are made with tip-top quality material and printing technology, and hand-made and hand-packed with love.
Based on the feedback from the users and our understanding of the market, we have planned major changes to our business plan moving forward, as we seek to expand globally beyond the shores of this tiny red dot we call Singapore.
Plans include a complete design revamp, improving our existing mobile apps and allow for scalability, building a new e-commerce platform, adding new range of products and merchandise, introducing an improved pricing strategy, improving production capability, integrate cryptocurrency payments, and many others as we get ready for our global launch.
So let’s get started…
June 01, 2017, 05:57:04 PM
Brief History
The Postalgia project started out with Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) in the form of an Android and iOS mobile app in 2013. Our goal then was to build a product with the minimum features required for the idea to work, and launch the proof-of-concept only to Singapore users, to take the time to iterate with feedback from customers and improve both the physical and digital products.
Since then, we have learnt many valuable lessons about the limitations of our current product, largely in terms of scalability. For example, some problems with the current system include:
> App can only be downloaded for users in Singapore.
> App is restricted and limited to the specified existing product types only.
> Current database built in django with very messy code, a very primitive backend, with occasional bugs occurring in payments and order management.
> Currently product & print production is done in-house.
In addition, one of the critical challenges we still face today is the lack of a technical partner, so all development was outsourced and hence costly, and it took a long time for us to push out updates or fix technical problems.
Roadmap
To bring the Postalgia project to the next stage, we have set out the following roadmap as our top priorities moving forward:
> Expand the business to serve an international market
> Expand physical production capability
> Develop version 2 of the app and e-commerce website
> Expand team and find technical partner
> Seek partnership with various complementary services
> Hire full-time staff for 1 year to manage activities such as marketing & sales, technology development, daily operations, production, customer service & community support
> Integration of cryptocurrency payments including Bitcoin and Postalgia tokens
> Research & development for a decentralized blockchain based referral program
> Research & development for a decentralized blockchain based photo storage solution
Product Improvements
Since day one, our sole platform for conducting business was via our Android and iOS mobile apps.
The apps are free to download, and users pay in-app for purchasing physical photo prints and products, which provides a direct revenue stream and immediate monetization model for the business.
Therefore it makes sense for us to first focus on improving our core product, these mobile apps, and this will be our highest priority moving forward. Version 2 of the mobile apps and backend engine will enable:
> Access by global users and delivery of physical products worldwide
> New user features such as photo editing and photo filters
> Improved user-friendliness and UI for placing orders,
> Cryptocurrency payments starting with Bitcoin payment integration,
> Improved scalability of platforms,
> Content management system (CMS) to provide flexibility to add multiple new product categories and products
> Vendor management system (VMS) to decentralize production capabilities
In order to support the new influx of customers and orders from the global launch, it is also imperative that we improve our production capabilities in parallel to the tech development. Furthermore, we will forge partnerships with several photo production houses to add new product lines and to keep up with production volume.
As the next priority, we will be developing our e-commerce website to provide the same services as the mobile apps, but with more features suitable for desktop usage. In addition, we are currently designing a user-generated content marketplace where users will be able to share their photographs and get rewarded when other users use these photos.
Blockchain Research & Development
With decentralization being the backbone of cryptocurrencies, we feel it is prudent that we abide by Satoshi’s principles in the development of the Postalgia token.
The token will be fully open-sourced, decentralized, and utilize smart contracts to remove the need for a middleman.

> Referral & rewards program system integration into Apps and Website
> Photo storage on the blockchain

Postalgia Blockchain
By harnessing the power of blockchain technology, Postalgia aims to create a referral program baked into the blockchain.
This also contributes to marketing the product, by relying on word-of-mouth of our loyal users and advocates, because where else do you look to these days when researching a purchase; well you turn to your friends and social network of course!
Further down the line, we plan to integrate photo storage onto the blockchain, where we can literally make your memories last forever. We can learn from the likes of Factom for their data storage technology, or Siacoin, Storj, and Maidsafe for their storage sharing technology.
Postalgia Token
We believe that the core principles of cryptographic currencies, as Satoshi clearly pointed out in his Bitcoin whitepaper, are decentralization and immutability. As such, we have decided to build the Postalgia token, $POSTA, as an erc20 token secured by the Ethereum Classic network. By doing so, all updates to the ETC network will also be enjoyed on the POSTA network.
Technical Specifications
Name: Postalgia
Ticker: POSTA
Maximum Supply: 10,000,000 POSTA
Token Allocation & Redemption Details
95% supply of total POSTA tokens will be distributed to all participants via the ICO. The remaining 5% will be kept with the Postalgia team as reserves in the development fund.
At the end of ICO, ETC will be calculated in BTC value according to the Poloniex market price.
All POSTA tokens will be distributed proportionally to participants based on their share calculated as above, including bonuses.
ETC Development Fund Reserves Allocation
The Bitcoin and Ethereum Classic tokens received from the ICO will be used for the following:
1. iOS & Android app development
2. E-commerce website development
3. Integration of referral program to mobile apps and website
4. Production & operation costs
5. Salary for developers, community support, marketing, operations, and customer service staff
6. Partnership with photo production house
