How it works?

Advertisers 

Advertisers can upload promotional videos to the platform. Advertisers can set prices per view, then target viewers based on country, city, gender, age, and interests. 

Advertisers can add their banners or place a short promotional video of up to 30 seconds in the videos listed by the uploader for free. 

Advertisers can add videos promoting specific products or services to the market Viuly along with text descriptions, specifications and prices.

Videos will only be shown to users in the selected target group. Advertisers pay the cost of each view for the platform, the author receives 65% of the amount and the user receives 25%. If users are interested in a specific product, they can buy the product or service advertised in the video by clicking on the "Buy" button and paying XRM tokens directly from their wallet to the customer's wallet.

Content Creators

Video creators can upload their videos and specify prices on a per-view basis only. Users interested in viewing premium content may pay the specified cost, then immediately they may have access to the video. This allows content creators to sell video lessons at high prices, for example.

Video creators can also create paid channels. Users can pay a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly subscription fee for that channel. 

Ads embedded in each video. Video creators can specify which videos are free to watch, supported by ads (not based on subscriptions). However, users can also launch the video as a "free advertisement" and place a donation button below the video. Viewers can support creators by sending them XRM tokens.

Users

Users can watch videos for free without ads. Or, they can assist content creators via donation buttons, paid channel subscriptions or watch ad supported videos.

However, users also have the opportunity to earn money by only viewing ads. Users may choose to watch advertiser-uploaded video ads. In this case, they receive 90% of the price per view specified by the advertiser

Users can use XRM cards directly from their wallets. They can buy the goods and services advertised in the video they are watching, for example or pay the seller with XRM tokens.

XRM Tokens

XRM Tokens is based on smart contract Blockere Ethereum (ERC20). All transactions on the platform are clearly recorded and stored in the blockchain.

Blockchain and tokens are two important kernels that can make payments transparent, anonymous, towards decentralized video platforms, video storage and common user agreements.

Refine Medium Verdict

Video sharing platforms like YouTube dominate the market. However, they provide a secondary experience for advertisers, content creators and viewers. Viewers are not paid to see ads. Content creators receive only 40 to 50% of the revenue generated by their videos. And advertisers lose intermediaries. Meanwhile, the platform Refine Medium aims to solve these problems. All common agreements are made directly between advertisers, content creators and users, and intermediaries are excluded. Users who view and subscribe to the Refine Medium video will receive between 25% and 95% of the amount allocated by the advertiser. Creators upload their video content on this platform, receive 65% of what advertisers pay and 90% of the money received as a payment from users viewing their premium content . Refine Medium provides advertisers with accurate statistics for each ad view. All data is recorded on the blockchain and can be re-examined by both advertisers and third party auditors. Advertising costs are 20% lower than centralized video platforms. Payments are made directly, without intermediaries and completely transparent.

Toqqn: An Ad-Free Social Media Platform Focused on Your Privacy and Security

If you’re like any of the 2.5 billion people out there who use social media, then you probably start your day checking your smartphone or other device for notifications. Yes, we’re all guilty of this, one time or another. We spend more time on social media than actual socializing. Interestingly, Gen Xers spend more time on social media than Millennials, although teens reportedly spend around nine hours of each day connecting with their friends online.

I think many of us fail to realize what kind of impact social apps already have on our lives. Case in point: Don’t you ever wonder why these social networks are able to uncannily and accurately direct advertisements based on your likes and preferences — even if you try to be discreet with your online habits?

That’s because social networks are keeping tabs on what you do online.

Anything you say or do on social networks, the places you go, the photos you share and take — these are all digital breadcrumbs that make up your online profile. And let’s not even get started with how social networks are potentially listening in on what we say.

Accept it, we’re not merely social network users, but we’re becoming a product of the social networks that we use. All the major social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and others are free apps — but we are paying for it with data and with identities.

In fact, social networks are increasingly asking us to share more and more parts of our lives. Even Messenger services now have a function that lets us share “moments” of our daily lives.

But how about those of us who merely want to connect, communicate, and keep in touch, all without being tracked?

Decentralizing ownership of the social network

Here’s where I think blockchain technology can make a big difference.
By combining a decentralized consensus mechanism with a private and secure platform for exchanging messages and information, we might be able to finally get connected without the risk of exposing too much to those who own the platforms.

This is just what Toqqn aims to do, with its social platform, a blockchain-based platform for messaging, data sharing, which also supports cryptocurrency as a means of sending money.

The platform was designed from ground-up with the user’s privacy in mind. The core vision of Toqqn is to bring a decentralized alternative platform that respects users’ privacy, and disallows advertising time has come. People can enjoy the benefits of interacting with friends and family on social media, without fear they will be manipulated and exploited at every turn just to generate more ad dollars.

The Toqqn developers claim their solution will not store any user data. The Toqqn users will be rewarded with TQN tokens for various activities, e.g. sharing content. 50% of the TQN total supply (1 billion TQNs) will be reserved for these rewards. Additional revenue to support the platform operation will be generated through the fees the users will have to pay to access Toqqn marketplace, which will offer various digital services.
