Topic: [ANN][ICO] POP Network – An open platform for video distribution - page 2. (Read 490 times)

Bounty program is in the planning stage for now and it will be announced in couples of shakes.

Thanks, we belive that YouTube is powered by dollars generated from advertisers. This means that viewers are interrupted by unwanted ads while content
creators are more beholden to YouTube and the brands backing the platform than to their own fanbase. POP Network is developing a new platform that aims to be better for creators and viewers (just not advertisers).

Popchest empowers Creators to name their own price-per- view and make the type of content that inspires them, not advertisers. PopChest’s no-BS stance on creative and financial freedom for all allows us to kick being “advertiser-friendly” out of the party. Popchest deeply believes in free speech and support a range of Creators. All videos are immediately available by direct link, although it takes a few paid views before showing  you in search results.

You are so right!!  Another point is that YouTube is not actually free. When you're on YT you pay for it with time spent watching ads. Advertisers call the shots while your favorite Creators get demonetized for not being ad-friendly and can no longer make videos you enjoy. This is the problem with 'free'.

hi!

interesting project! do you have a bounty program?

I liked the following information. Network seeks to solve problems through its decentralized peer-to-peer content platform, which offers the distribution of content creators with awards distributed in micropayments and without advertising. Perhaps, it is very attractive. I do not like obsessive advertising, watch TV, work on the Internet, you go in transport - everywhere advertising. I hate it.

Thank you for your comment! Continue to follow us

Interesting project, I will love to see it up and running.

The POP Network is a decentralized approach to monetized video distribution
using direct micropayments and token incentives instead of relying on advertising and paid
subscriptions. The result is a system where Creators form direct relationships with their
consumers, are liberated creatively, and get economically rewarded in a fair, transparent
manner. This new system gives Viewers more choice by making long-tail content
economically viable, allows deeper connections with Creators to form, and ensures the
people making up the network share in the tokenized value they create rather than having
that value funneled to massive, centralized corporations. In the same way Bitcoin, peer-to-
peer electronic cash, forces a profound re-examination of the modern financial system, The
POP Network is a tectonic shift in how humans create, distribute, and consume media. The
POP Network is not simply competition to existing models but rather an entirely new
ecosystem.

The POP Token is the native medium of exchange on The POP Network. To facilitate a massive
amount of high-frequency transactions, an Ethereum Payment Channel implementation becomes
vital.

The second YouTube?! very interesting. if the video is without limits, the project will foul with unnecessary content

Thanks for your comment and Bounty campaign will be announced in the coming days, We will
inform you again !!

The internet is filled with wonderful videos that entertain, educate, and excite us. Unfortunately, to enjoy that content we have to either give our most precious resources, our time and attention, over to advertisers inundating us with irrelevant commercials or we have to make a hefty commitment by paying for a subscription.
Thanks to PopChest, there’s a new choice: micropayments. Now, viewers can use bitcoin to directly reward content creators with as little as for an on-demand video experience. This is a feat not possible with existing credit card payment options.

Idea of an open platform for video distribution sounds great but everyone will ask you that why do we need micropayments for Video?

The POP Network is a blockchain-based, peer-to-peer video sharing platform that rewards content creators for their work and provides ad-free experiences for viewers. With decentralized video storage and streaming, The POP Network aims to eliminate reliance on 3rd party distributors and hosting platforms. The POP Network removes the need for advertisers from digital entertainment by enabling transactions in micropayments directly between creators and viewers and empowers both creators and fans to earn rewards for their contributions.


The POP Network is a multifold solution for a multifaceted problem facing content creators and viewers.

Content creators are limited to distribution through streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu, or via online platforms, such as YouTube or Vimeo, but streaming services are incredibly difficult to break into and tend to select mainstream, “commercial” content over more indie, quirky faire. On the other hand, content creators who post their content to digital platforms are beholden to advertisers for their income instead of to their actual audience.

Meanwhile, viewers paying for subscription-based streaming platforms who only care about 1-2 shows must pay the monthly fee for access to a bunch of content they never watch. Viewers of online content must deal with constant interruptions by advertisements and accept that their data is being harvested by the platform and sold to advertisers for ad targeting campaigns.

POP Network seeks to address these challenges with its decentralized, peer-to-peer content platform that offers content creators distribution with rewards distributed in micropayments and ad-free viewing experience for content fans who can also earn rewards for curating and serving content on the network.
