I wonder if all scenarios were considered for all actors in the system, for example if the bidding stage is over and the advertiser decided to change the Advertisement format, or for an unknown reason the router just went off-line ?
is there a procedure or a protocol to handle theses scenarios?
thank you

To clarify on the term you used, "if the bidding stage is over", the bidding/auction is always in action in the Alpha to Beta version.
Whoever is the highest bidder will have their advertisement displayed first when someone connects to the WIFI.

As for router going off-line, if it's caused by power shortage, it would be shown as offline on the map UI. While the router is gone offline, no user would be able to connect to the WIFI, and therefore nothing is charged from the advertiser.

Thanks for the clarification, I guess it is a solid view for the situation, especially if the project expands to other geographical points where power distribution is not very reliable.
are you guys restricted geographically?
is there any plans to employ this initiative in other areas or any other partnership abroad?
Thanks again and best of luck.

Stacks already have the plan for international expansion on the roadmap. We are constantly open and seeking potential partners to help us better facilitate our international operations.
Please read our latest pitch deck to learn more about what we have in plan. Thank you for your support again.

The road map image is very small so we can't see the details, I have read PITCH DECK with a good idea so this will run smoothly.

Thank you for your interest and support. We'll include a larger and clearer road map in our nearest website update.

Why don't you answer my question about the partnership with Alibaba? You should be transparent and fair about it and explain what that is about if there is anything with them.

Please see the reply above and kindly consider emailing us at [email protected] for faster response if you have more questions related to technical and business development.

Thank you again for your time and attention.

If you mention Alibaba under your clients and partners sections, I think it can also be misleading. It would be a huge partnership, but what does that mean and how do you work together?

Hey Hazenyc,

Stacksnetwork built the infrastructure (laying the fiber optic cable), to help Alibaba establishing content transfer connection with China Radio and Television Network Co., Ltd. (The fourth biggest Basic telecommunications carrier in China), in four different provinces.

Stacksnetwork was also able to take advantage of having approx. 55 rented data center and 17 self-built data center across 26 provinces, 30 cities in China, to become a certified partner of Alibaba Cloud IDC (Internet Data Center), for our stabled, secured connection and service since 2014.

hey again, thanks for the replies.
just had a quick look on the Pitch Deck, which is not quite brief, and I think it is a solid scheme for a project contributing to the Smart City. but one thing came to mind since you are based in China, which is that Chinese mobile companies such as Huawei will release the G phones by the end of this year. this will have an astonishing internet connection speed. so, do you think that will be a point against your shared Wifi routers with avarage speed?

Yes, I'm an asshole

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 the 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 is visible to whoever has access to the router, and certain malicious things can be done by those who has the access to those whom accessing the router.

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

It was mentioned, that "Our lightpaper and whitepaper will be updated once ready."
Almost 2.5 months has passed since topic was created and there are still to whitepaper in ANN thread or webpage.

How are you going to work without such basics ?

Hello there,
I checked your diagram and presented architecture, I wonder if all scenarios were considered for all actors in the system, for example if the bidding stage is over and the advertiser decided to change the Advertisement format, or for an unknown reason the router just went off-line ?
is there a procedure or a protocol to handle theses scenarios?
thank you

Thank you for your question.
The option of making changes to an advertisement format will be made available in the future. As of the testing stage, the advertiser could do so by delisting the advertisement first then repost, since a review of content has to be made before publishing.

Looks like an interesting project, but can you answer the following questions?
...
3. Why do you need blockchain?

The choice to implement blockchain technology is based on the need to fight fraud in digital and mobile advertising. Blockchains are decentralized peer-to-peer networks and have no single point of failure and access point for hackers. Given the user behavior and location data gathered for precision targeting by Stacks Routers, a blockchain is critical to enhancing data safety and security. A fully verifiable and immutable ledger or database that is available to all members of the WIFI ecosystem also provides a layer of trust and transparency across parties. Finally, blockchain prevents ad fraud by providing a validation mechanism for user actions such as multiple connections, views, and clicks. A decentralized system creates a check for malicious connections like bots and protects advertisers from loss caused by ad fraud.
