Interesting project. What are your future plans?  As in how do you plan to expand this project? Videos? Music?

Thanks theunbeatable,

The Annoucement Thread (LOCAL PHILIPPINES) is done : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.22572497

Hello @eye4bd,

The community has been very much positive about the project. It is very much for the people, by the people. A lot of professional photographers have shown interest in the projects.

We do not have deep pockets to pay for press releases who charge from 0.5 - 2 btc to publish news. We have been approached for such activities along with brand promotion, even getting listed in popular exchanges and we simply did not respond. Instead we opted to go with the community support. Total 10% is allocated for the marketing of which 5% is for ICO and 5% for photographers campaign. Both campaigns are doing well and growing support each day. The reason to allocate 5% to photography campaign is to get their views and support. Most of these photographers are fed up the agencies who charge them more than 70% of the revenue.

Regarding the ICO & investors, its open for all. Regarding the authenticity of the project, all updates about the project have been public and will be shared as and when it is ready. All updates are posted across all registered  social platforms

We request everyone reading this to join our telegram, facebook, twitter for updates.

@eye4bd thanks for watching this thread. Your questions helps others too.

We need community support. Please comment and share your views.

Hi
Got your DM! It was 4
totally. Last few days was busy.
Finally today i have been able to watch them all.
I was told earlier the idea
Stockblock can easily work and attract people join as well contribute by submitting arts!
But getting funds
from investor are totally different thing.
Just wondering why you guy's are allocated that huge amount for tokens for the
bounty campaign? I think that won't help getting positive feedback from future investor but
will harm the authenticity of the project itself!

Regards

We have been working on this for long time. It has been a side project for long and we need to go full time on this one. Pre-alpha demo will be released in 2 weeks.

Hi
Already told you, the
image feature won't work for
Newbies of Btct.org! And quoting once again your
post for giving the above visual look.   
By the way not seeing any feedback has been
made of my last comment yet!

Thanks!

Blockchain technology & community around it plays an important role in different ways.

1) Solve Copyright issues
2) Transparent transactions & artwork history
3) Better/Cheaper transaction rates
4) Secure delivery of the artwork
5) Instant payment to artist.
6) Secure and verified artwork for buyers

There will be many more down the road as per communities creative suggestions. People can suggest more ideas and make this platform even better. This project will be community driven. Be it artist or buyers or even who is reading it.

That's the idea. Help each other and grow.

Giving our 200%.

shutterstock base on blockchain. like this idea. hope price will be cheaper than purchase stock on shutterstock

nice to read that you are doing business with storj and I guess its good to see that another crypto project will use the service for sure it will bring some
impact with storj value if they already got some good partnership with your project, looking forward for your success.

I think storj is the best bet. We host files with them and we buy hardware to rent 50% of the space to storj. Thus cutting down the expense. That ways we get the infrastructure and have local in-house backups. Win-Win situation.

Yes. Anything from 30 to 90 similarity goes through next set of algorithm. There will be a couple set of hashes generated for flipped H or V and more.  That is the technical automated moderation.

Finally the moderator checks for quality of the image and approves it.

Once approved, the author can generate editions of the artwork for sale. These will be the actual SmartContracts that buyers will pay for.

The transactions will be transparent and can track the history of the artwork. Who sold it, who bought it, editions, and everything in between. Protection for both buyer and seller to prove their sale and purchase. This info will be displayed on the artwork page. (The buyer chooses privacy options to display info.)

Since the payment is final and no possibility of getting reversed, the author gets paid instantly using the SmartContracts with automated instructions to transfer tokens and commission for the platform.

It make sense. I like it.

But I think Flipped V and Flipped H also should generate result over 90 points as it still the same image.
Filecoin is a good option. If I recall it correct, they've managed to collect over 250M which is more than enough to make a working infrastructure.

That's a very good question. I will be able to elaborate the concept more clearly.

Check this page: http://stockblock.io/fingerprint/
The first image is the original image. Check the other images, the phash value under every image and the similarity score. Anything above 90% is same image.

When a user uploads images, same user can have multiple similar images(altered like blurred, grayscale etc) as the same user owns it. There can not be two same images (similarity score more than 90) in different user accounts. The system checks for similarity score and approves it automatically.

This also helps keeping fraudsters off the system. If someone uploads a stolen image, the account is flagged and a ticket is opened for dispute. The fraudster is flagged for plagiarism. The system search also uses the perceptual hashing system to display the search results.

➢ Finding similar images (With phash similarity score more than 90%)
➢ Finding visually unique images. (With phash similarity score less than 30%)

The marketplace platform is fraudster-proof. With unique, verified, attributed content, the buyer is assured of buying genuine artwork. To secure the platform further, the registration of artist is invite only. It is a
blockchain of trusted media artist.

Storing images:

The images are not stored on the block chain for now. It is very expensive to store images on block chain. But there's are some projects like storj and filecoin with whom we can collaborate and workout some deals instead of creating the entire file storage system ourselves. As of now we are storing the images on cloud server for test purposes.

Does this make sense?

Let me know,

Thank you for the information.

I have just one more question. If you will protect the artists, will you have some algorithm to detect slightly edited image versions of images which are already on the chain or you will just use the chain if somebody manually report copyright violation?

Thanks Angel,
