Hello Matchpoolers!
As our ICO starting in just 5 days, let me explain again to all of our newcomers what is the basic idea behind the Matchpool protocol and App.
When our team sat together and thought about a field which we think can be further improved by the Blockchain technology, we immediately all thought about the social aspect of life and that is the reason we decided to create a network of social connections on top of the ETH blockchain.
What we basically do through our platform is giving people the opportunity to get together, to make introductions and to build a network of connections that can be used for many different use cases. We first decided to focus on the Romantic connection aspect. enabling one to join a pool of its interest and the other to play the role of a matchmaker and get rewarded by doing so. This primary field as I will further describe about in a minute is just an example of a use case for our platform. With the same ground rules we can use the platform for the Recruiting industry -
Imagine what Chronobank is bringing to the table but with the addition of good references that are lowering the chance of bad services. Let's illustrate with an example: Say Mustafa is HR person in a big high tech company and Brian is a gifted young designer that is currently looking for a job. Approaching each other through the standard channels will not give the sides the needed information and certainty they are looking for. Imaging now that Ricardo a mutual friend of these two is also in that pool/community and he is the one creating the intro. Knowing the two sides and what they are looking for Ricardo has by far the best chance for creating a successful match. without suggesting that the connection shall be closed only by Ricardo reference and that further checks and meetings should be held by the sides, with that intro the whole process takes a different light and is turning immediately to much more positive experience with better success rate.
Just as described above the platform can be also used for referencing other service providers, real estate markets, promotions of restaurants, truism and much moreNow, a few sentences on our first primary field - Matchmaking
Imaging your entire Facebook and Twitter community arranged in Pools with defined parameters - EU residence, bachelor degree, day job, Animal lover, "Not into marriage", and so on...Each user will have the opportunity to create his own pool in the form of an Ethereum smart contract with his own defined parameters. In order to open such pool the user will be asked to send a few GUP's which will be held in the contract until it closes - this will prevent over flooding of pools.
From its formation, the pool can actually be seen as a financial unit, holding every joiner entrance and monthly fees. On the other hand pool participants will have the opportunity to engage conversation with people with whom they have a shared interest and even create them selves financial benefits by making intros and suggesting matches with in the pool. After making such intro, the introduced parties will get the invitation and will have the opportunity to except or decline the proposal. A successful match will be an approved proposal, setting the parties to meet and rewarding the "Matchmaker" with the pre defined matching fee of that certain pool.
The platform will have a lot of different features in order to be more appealing and to give its users the needed tools to interact efficiently.
Each pool will have a "Thermometer" indicating its matching ability and conversation rate, a thermometer will also be used personally and will indicate each user reputation of being a good matchmaker, pleasant person/abusive and much more. In addition we are building an entire Dapplets eco-system which will give the users themselves and opportunity to create tools and games they feel are necessary for the platform. By doing so this users will be rewarded with GUPs that can be used later on in the system.
To sum it up, our whole eco-system is built with the notion that Intros are the most effective way to create a connection. Just as used in creating business relationships, intros are perceived as the safest and most effective way to create connections between two or more parties. Using them lifts the first buriers in every relationship engagement leaving the sides with the opportunity to dive straight in to the important parts.
Well that's is what we do in a nut shale...We encourage you all to ask as many questions as needed in order for you to fully understand the huge potential in our forging eco-system and to share our feeling that Matchpool is going to change the traditional ways this multi million industry currently operates.You are all invited to join our AMA (ask me everything) on the coming Wednesday on our Reddit channel, where we would be more than happy to address all of your questions. find our Reddit channel link here:
Reading this makes me feel sorry Matchpool didn't focus first on recruitment market...I'm sure these guys could have produced a better product than lousy Chronobank....
