6 reasons to invest in StockBlock
StockBlock solves a century-old copyright infringement problem for media artists. StockBlock empowers a media artist with copyright protection and provides first ever marketplace to securely sell digital art online using Ethereum BlockChain and SmartContracts.

1) A project that helps & honors media artists.
Media artist plays an important role in our daily lives. They help us smile, inspire, lift our feelings, freshen up our moods with images, music, movies and more. Millions of such artwork are shared in commercials and online through social media. Do you know where the image or video came from? Who the author is or did he get compensated for it or even got credited for his work?
StockBlock is here to help such artists earn a livelihood and be honored with credits & attribution.

2) You like investing in a project with higher chance of value in future.
The platform helps media artists fight for their rights and also helps them in making a better living. Based on the trust and value proposition, the project is likely to excel in business worldwide. We are narrowing our focus to photography until our beta release. With expansion into various digital assets like videos, music, the expected project growth multi folds along with greater returns for your investments.

3) StockBlock is here to disrupt the media industry.
If the media industries were to embrace blockchain technologies, they could reduce costs for distribution, royalty and licensing collection and allow consumers to obtain the content they want and are willing to pay for. Photos could be recorded on the ledger immutably, with their copyrights protected and their creators confirmed.

4) Worlds First Marketplace platform using blockchain for media artist.
Current stock photography websites pay peanuts to the very artist who creates content for these agencies. These agencies are nothing without the artist artwork. Agencies earn over 70% of revenues generated selling the artwork. StockBlock is here to end this centralized intermediaries and provide better living standards for the artist.

5) StockBlock ICO investment at the lowest price.
With blockchain innovation and ICO, it is now feasible to raise operating capital. StockBlock is a much-needed project to solve real-life issues of media artists. We look forward to making this a reality with your support. Our StockBlock ICO offers the lowest price for our tokens to invest in. Anyone can join and support our cause and make this project a reality.

it is a mission, then Good job!

Not just eBay. It's way more than that. It helps creativity. It encourages to be more creative. Most of the artist are fed up coz of the copyright infringement... This project helps them in many ways.

Sounds like an ebay for artists on the blockchain good

There's more to it. Since all payments are made using SmartContracts the transaction history is visible to all. It's an open ledger. Anyone can view it. We will also publish the buyers details and the sellers can rate their buyers. Credibility will be maintained for both buyers and sellers thus creating trust. The artist will be honoured for his artwork.

The tokens also play an important part for the investors. The entire ecosystem is based on tokens. Other activities like blogging for upcoming artist, contest, incentives for volunteers will be honoured with tokens. This will help in token appreciation on exchanges.

The system automatically checks for plagiarism and bans the user. To keep fraudsters away we plan to keep the system invite only. Unless you have invite, you can not join the network.

The marketplace platform is for the artist. They can sell their artwork with different editions. Single bulk etc. Everything works using ethereum SmartContract.  Since the system works on SmartContract, the photographer gets paid instantly. A small percentage fee will be charged for the services and it will be defined in the SmartContract.

The entire ecosystem works on xmc token.

Byers buy artwork using the tokens. Sellers receive tokens.

Ok but banning a fraudulent user is one as effective as the actual barrier to entry the platform. If I can make a million accounts banning is not a real solution to the problem. Does your platform also allow for commerce of copyrights? Like, when I want to use a picture I could send some crypto to the original owner and get a certificate or something like that?

Yes. The algorithm works and detects plagiarism. The same user can upload different versions of the image but it is flagged if some other user tries to upload someone else's image. The system bans the fraudulent user for ever.

This system is a real weapon for photographers. It protects them from copyright infringement.

It sounds extremely interesting. Is your algorithm already working and has its success rate been proven? If that thing gets to work properly, you'll provide a real weapon against ownership infringement.

project and idea are very good. we will see if it will have a big success. They need to launch the platform first.

Another great weekend. Working on the image search monitoring system.

Guys, what do you think about the ICO? how promissing the project is?

Monitoring UI coming up...

That sounds like a nice feature for a blockchain website. nice

We are working on the monitoring system. We will keep posting updates here and on @medium.

Any update on the image monitoring system?

Good progress. Keep it up.

Since the last post, We received 4 more emails for paid promotions in just 10 minutes.

We are serious.

We do not have a huge budget to create the hype or have a PR team resources to attract investors. Nor do we have a huge list of advisors. We received a lot of emails offering paid promotions from blog post to getting listed on top ICO listing websites. We also received emails from "advisors" willing to join the team in exchange for bitcoins. The packages where from 0.5 BTC to 5 BTC and more.

We are a small team with vision, MVP product, and a roadmap.

We are genuine people with a genuine product that solves a real-life problem. This project puts the power back in the hands of the artist and makes a better living.

Yes, We are serious about this project.

Hi,

The system uses perceptual hashing to identify similar images. Please check our algorithm test page: https://stockblock.io/fingerprint/

The system uses perceptual hash/ Fingerprint to identify an image. The system can identify images even after the image has been seriously altered. The similarity score defines how similar the image is. So similarity score above 90 is the same image.

This fingerprint is used to find duplicates in the platform itself. The same fingerprint is used to find/monitor the images on the internet. The monitoring system will be a background process. The system will crawl the internet and find images and report the same to the photographers monitoring dashboard. The photographer can decide what actions need to take regarding the infringement.
