i have asked the devs team on telegram and they said they dont pay for dividends

That is right. There will be no dividends, but there will be rewards for social activity, etc.

that's fine, but what exactly does that mean? Is it per post? per likes like steemit?

I think you get rewarded if you share your social activity. It's not your likes they're interested in, but your general patterns of behavior in social networks, what you like in general, which topics, channels, pages and stuff like that. Nowdays, social networks like Facebook gather this information without our knowledge and make huge money on it. With Sphere, we should be in control.
Probably rewards gonna be fixed like a certain amount of tokens for a certain amount of activity, don't know exactly what the measurement unit will be.

Yeah, I don't think they have officially stated how rewards are calculated. It's all speculation at this point.
Hmm, so have someone tried the app? and want to share a review about it?

I have been also looking for some kind of list with the rewards but can't find it.

Maybe at this point they haven't developed a system of rewards yet, but I would sure also like to know how it will work.
Also, haven't seen any reviews about the app. Has somebody tried it? What do you think about it?

Will someone moderate this social media? Because what is with topics which are not really so nice, people whith racistic background or stuff? Could this be a darknet 2?

Why not moderate it yourself?

You know, that strange old idea of if you don't like something, don't look at it?

Do you have to have someone else deciding what you can or can't look at on social media?

Yee man!  

So many snowflakes in our society, no one can ever say or do or post something that may insult or make someone feel uncomfortable- this is such utter bullshit I have not enough words.

people need to learn to be confident about them selves, they cant "feel" so easily offended by every small or, for some big, disagreement.

That is actually an interesting question. On almost every social media, you can report unacceptable content, like racist content. How will that work when the social media is decentralized??

There you have it, report button for criminal or unauthorized content. It could be put on a vote, wether to remove content or not. Say 1000 random and active platform users will get an invite to vote on some content. When first 100 have voted, and 75% says remove content then it will be taken down. The rest dont have to vote. There's many variations of how this could work

This is of course a subject that is very complicated and our solutions to it will need to keep evolving over the years.  Sphere advocates free speech, but some content simply must be prohibited.  We will be removing :
  • Speech that would incite hatred or violence
  • Advocating illegal activity
  • Copyright trademark and patent
  • Illegal contents such as child pornography

We can easily create a "Report This" button and incorporate it in our next release as suggested by KryptoTark to remove such content by community voting.

That's good to know. How will data be stored in Sphere? I mean the network is decentralized as much as possible, right? But what happens if someone is uploading unwanted content like for example child pornography, will it stay in the network, even if you have "deleted" it?

+1 on this question. Also, what about people selling Guns and Drugs on the platform like they did with instagram once?

When is the next update for the app, what does it involve? thanks!

Yes, one of the team just recently clarified the misunderstanding regarding dividends. But I'd like to know how this reward program is working.

Where can I find the clarification statement?



Hello!  There’s been a lot of talk about dividends on the thread.  We’d like to thank you for bringing this to our attention, because our marketing team actually used the wrong word.  “Dividends” is not in our white paper, but it was on our website.  This was a serious error on our part and that word has been removed and replaced with “rewards”.   We apologize deeply for the confusion.

As for the questions about how SAT will be utilized on our platform for profit, we have plans to have users spend SAT as a currency within our network. We will incentivize the use of SAT in many ways, including the marketplace to trade tokens for goods or services, paying users micro-transactions for ad clicks, and various types of social connections.

Users will also have the choice of remaining anonymous or getting paid by making decisions about what personal information and browsing data to sell.  Several other incentives are still being planned and developed and will be announced to the public at a later date.



I'd like to further clarify our plans to incentivize SAT so that it will increase in worth:

1. Social transactions - Make use of SAT to send money to another user.
2. We plan to integrate a Marketplace. - Users can simply create products or advertise services that their friends can see and purchase using SAT
3. Sphere Ad Platform - Users can easily advertise their products by displaying targeted ad pieces in the news feed. Users will have to pay for the advertising space. The platform will feature per-click and per -impression functions and cost will be deducted automatically from the seller's wallet.
4. Users will be getting paid if they allow a portion or all of their of their data to sold. 

Now it is clear, as I expected, social activity will be rewarded depending on the turnover of user's tokens. Are there any specific calculations for the size of all these rewards? At least preliminary calculations?

is there a plan for exchange listing after ico?
This is obvious that there will be many exchanges after ico. This is the reason why people are investing in ICOs

good to hear, i hope 1 big exchange from the top 10 trading volume are will be listening too. Smiley

We always have Etherdelta Smiley
Nu i'm joking i also hope for one of the bigger names ..

etherdelta is good enough, but yes, other exchanges, especially some pure chinese exchanges could let this token to moon Smiley chineses people are wild to buy cryptos Smiley

Don't forget the Korean exchanged they tend to skyrocket coins and tokens when they are listed.

This seems to be perfectly reasonable, the line must be drawn somewhere otherwise people will start take advantage ending up in a mess

Thank you for this reply. When I thought about decentralized social network, I didnt know you can still moderate the content. I think being able to remove texts like you have mentioned, is very important and much needed

Does Sphere has any statistics regarding in its pre-sale particularly in amount of ETH raised? I hope they would put it in their website.

No, they dont have counter on the site. At last I didnt find. Only this:

Quote
1643 PRE-SALE CONTRIBUTORS

Yeah, I guess it would be better if they could put the overall amount of token sold as a general information to investors. Smiley

Companies always stay more discreet while pre-sale is happening. After ico start they start becoming more transparent. I think we will see the numbers after start of the ico.

I ask for simplicity for incorrect information. I guess I did not understand correctly. Is social activity an active participation in the life of the network? What exactly do need to do Huh
