StacksCity - the official video from the project, which demonstrates how the project is organized and works, a decentralized advertising ecosystem in which all its participants earned in public places, as well as complete transparency for advertisers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxwYSSDOI7E&feature=youtu.be

...and time stop here.
Why is that?
What's up? Is there any news from admins?

Dear Wishxy,

We have been posting updates on the project through Medium and Twitter if you could take a look:
Twitter: https://twitter.com/StacksCity_ANN
Medium:  https://medium.com/@stackscityacc

The team had attended a blockchain technology-focused conference in Colombia and had received a lot of positive response.
We also have an additional number of business partners who had agreed to onboard StacksCity platform upon launching.

StacksCity will initiate a global ambassador program soon to gather the talents who share the same belief and vision as we do.

Thank you for your support.



Are you guys located in Colombia or what was the reason for attending a conference there?

Hi hazenyc,

The Colombia conference was an event organized by Colombian city and federal agencies and involved other blockchain projects. You can read more about it here:

Does this mean  if a large number of connections to the Wi-Fi point  were are a decrease in the speed ?

2.Who will control the content of the advertisement and how? Will the user be able to disable and block adult content of the advertisement such as parental lock?

I would also add a little about decrease in speed, although for a different matter, does the wifi owner has control over limiting bandwitch of each connected device? Suppose someone use the wifi to download files with downloader such as Internet Download Manager (she's a badass), what'll happen to other participants' speed?

SD-WAN is a specific application of software-defined networking technology applied to WAN connections such as broadband internet, 4G, LTE, or MPLS. We'll implement SD-WAN technology in the StacksRouter which solves the traffic jam by allowing applications on the network to prioritize bandwidth and determine how traffic moves. This will eliminate the space for bad actors who just connects to the free WIFI for downloading large documents, make it fair for everyone.

Besides that, we’ll have the function available in the future, where WIFI owner could adjust what percentage of bandwidth he’d like to share out of his own usage to the public.

Thank you for the reply, if you don't mind me asking further, let's say your project goes big in the future and a lot of people interested to be router owner, I assume you'll have a policy on how close each router will be? Like, I think it will be rather a waste if someone next to his neighbor both being a host, which would share a relatively same wifi range?


Hello holydarkness,

StacksRouter would just be an add-on which anyone could simply plug onto their existing router/modem. The internet speed from each WIFI provider would be different. When StacksRouter becomes wide-spread within a region, multiple connections may become available to WIFI users. There’ll be a difference in the stability and bandwidth of each WIFI provider. The one capable of providing higher quality service would attract more users, and advertisers are more likely to post their advertisement on the WIFI that attracts more traffic.

The areas with overload of traffic would attract more router providers and places with more supply in free WIFI would discourage additional WIFI owners to register to the platform. In short, we would like StacksCity’s platform to be a natural reflection of supply and demand of the market.

The competition will motivate WIFI providers to maintain a higher level of quality and stability of their internet connection, which will eventually benefit the WIFI user, creating a healthy ecosystem for the advertisers as well.

Suppose someone use the wifi to download files with downloader such as Internet Download Manager (she's a badass), what'll happen to other participants' speed?
I also want to ask, what if later we are in a remote area, will the connection on wifi be smooth or just same as other internet connections? one more, I'm still search for your team's information

I don't think that's necessary to think about because if you hate it, it's hard to connect to a network and you can't do anything with the digital world. it's simple

I honestly don't understand the relationship between personal emotional preference (love/hate/annoyance) with his question. He asked about connection speed in remote places, which I think is a good point to be asked.

And by the way, where is admin? I can see they're online everyday, posting on their bounty thread, but somehow they ignored their ann thread

There are a lot of things they might not reply to or they respond about everything that happened in this ANN thread. But I see the question above about remote places that make the internet network not so good or not at all.

You are correct. In case hundreds of users connect to the same WIFI, users are likely to experience a decrease in internet speed.

As for content review performed on the advertisement submitted on Stacks platform, we’ll work with companies that provide content review service using artificial intelligence aside from manual approval. This is to respect the law and regulation of the countries where StacksRouters will be deployed. 



And about bandwitch limiting? If I have to restate my question non-verbatimly, suppose there are several people connected to a wifi, where one user sucks most of the internet speed as he's downloading files, or streaming, what'll be the solution for this?

StacksCity is a decentralized advertising platform where all actors in the system are rewarded for their contributions. this project has a vision for a better future. by building smarter networks and transmission platforms and accelerating the process of technology integration.

I'm not a tech geek, so I am rather unfamiliar with this topic, but one thing that crossed my mind upon reading this project is privacy. Is there a policy for the router owner in regards to users' privacy? I didn't know much, but if I remember correctly, certain things are visible to whoever has access to the router, and certain malicious things can be done by those who have the access to those who access the router.

And by the way, just as a side note, your brief presentation (pitch deck) is not that . . . . . brief.


Hello holydarkness,

First of all, we really appreciate your time for reading through our pitch deck. We'll prepare a One-Pager in the future to meet the standard of being "Brief".  Grin

To answer your question, all router owners will undergo a KYC before being listed as an accessible WIFI hotspot in the public. Any chosen location for router deployment is a result of our analysis and review. Even in the future, after a year at least, when we have an automatic distribution and approval system, it would still be programmed to meet the necessary KYC standard.

Secondly, in the blockchain, no WIFI user’s information is stored on the router as it’s not required. The user’s information entered on WIFI login page is hosted on Stacks server, where we could encrypt user information and then decode it when information reaches Stacks server via the router.

At last, our tech team is considering schemes based on AI and neural network to classify and detect malicious attacks which are common in this sort of connections such as man in the middle and eavesdropping, further details on how we approach security concerns and protect user’s privacy will be discussed and shared through our official blog on medium in the near future. I could let you know once it's published so you could read more on this topic.

Thank you again for your interest and attention. Sorry about the delay in response, please email us at [email protected] if you have more questions.

Best regards.

You somehow also missed my post about the possibility of privacy breach by router owners and other malicious actions possible from connecting to "untrusted" network that supposed to be trusted?

As I said, I'm not a tech geek, so I purely asking questions here
