...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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Hey Panpan,

Thank you for your interest.
To answer your first question, the coverage of StacksNetwork reaches more than 26 provinces in China. Stacks' networks have been connected to a large number of offline businesses, including chain hotels, core businesses, community-based public areas, schools, and residential complexes.
It would be an easy transition for Stacks’ existing user base and clients to onboard StacksCity’s platform on top of the service they are already receiving from Stacks.
A selected number of clients already agreed to onboard StacksCity's platform in the Alpha and Beta testing stage.

I can see a solid company behind this project. IoT is a booming industry now, and it's definitely the future of technology. It has changed our way of life and we are gonna need better infrastructure and more secure connections to really get to the level of a fully smart city. Stacks looks like it's poised to break ground in the industry.


Thank you for your support. We'd appreciate any questions or feedback that you may have.
