About LikeCoin
LikeCoin is a blockchain based platform that aims to reward content creators for the amount of likes they get in social media platforms. By taking advantage of blockchain, attribution and cross application collaboration, LikeCoin offers a great way to monetize likes and give content creators a chance to make money from their art. By bringing their work to LikeCoin platform, artists will be able to get profit from their art that they uploaded to the internet directly instead of just use it as a means to promote their work.
Vision and Mission
LikeCoin has a goal to reinvent how like works for artists in the internet. When an artist uploads their work to their internet, they still get money. However, it is mostly from the advertisements instead of their art. The more likes they get, the more money they will get from the advertisement.
However, there are some flaws about this model. Firstly, it detaches the profit from the art itself since the artists are gaining money from the ads, not their creations. Furthermore, the cost of advertisement itself is far from cheap. As a result, content creators are not able to get maximum profit from their skill. This is exactly what LikeCoin wants to change. By reinventing the like, artists can earn money directly from their arts. This way, content creators can focus on their arts instead of figuring out the most lucrative ways to make money.
Benefits of Using LikeCoin
LikeCoin offers some features that will make this platform very attractive for creative workers. Firstly, the like button in LikeCoin is different with similar functions in the other social media. The function is same, which is to show appreciations for the creators, but it comes with bigger advantages.
When a user sees a content they really like, they can tap the like button up to five times in one post. The likes gathered from the users’ appreciation will be used by content creators to mine LikeCoins from the Creators Pool. Beside tapping the Like button, users also can click Super Like. When users tap the Super Like button, they basically “pay” the content creators with tokens from their wallet.
It also comes with a system called Proof of Creativity which is used to measure how “creative” a content creator is. Higher Proof of Creativity can be achieved in two ways. Firstly, by measuring the LikeRank of the content and secondly by measuring the amount of Likes a content receives.
Elements in the LikeCoin Ecosystem
An ecosystem of collaborated content creation involves various elements and stakeholders. Their roles in the LikeCoin ecosystem are defined with the following example, where Alice takes A.jpg and upload to Apple.io, Bob writes B.txt on Banana.com, Carol adopts their work to become C.doc on Cherry.net; and finally, David shares A.jpg on Durian.org.
Creative content
A digital photo, illustration, article, footage or sound clip. In contrast to private data, a creative content allows consumption by other people under certain copyright terms, such as Creative Commons. Each creative content is represented by a unique content fingerprint in the LikeCoin ecosystem. In our example, A.jpg, B.txt and C.doc are creative contents.
Content creator
A person who produces a creative content. Alice, Bob and Carol are all content creators.
Service provider
A web or native application supporting LikeCoin, by incorporating the LikeCoin attribution protocol and/or the reinvented Like button. In our example, Apple.io, Banana.com, Cherry.net and Durian.org are all service providers of LikeCoin.
Derivative work
Adopt one or more creative contents produced by oneself or other content creators, on the same or another service provider, to generate a new creative content. C.doc is a derivative work.
Content adopter
The creator by whom and the service provider on which a derivative work is produced. Carol is a content adopter.
Content source
The creative content on which a derivative work is adopted from. A content source itself may have its own content source. A.jpg and B.txt are content sources of C.doc.
Content origin
A creative content without a content source. In other words, a creative content which is not a derivative work. A.jpg and B.txt are content origin.
Original creator
The content creator by whom and the service provider on which a content origin is produced. Alice and Bob are original creator.
Distributed Content
Without modification, use a creative content produced by another creator in the same or another service provider. Image A on Durian.org is a distributed content.
Content distributor
The content creator by whom and the service provider on which a distributed content is used. David and Durian.org are content distributors. In the LikeCoin ecosystem, original creators and content adopters receive LikeCoin through Proof of Creativity from the Creators’ Pool or out of audiences’ own wallets; from content adopters; and from content distributors. This profit sharing mechanism is the key to incentivise content creators and service providers to adopt LikeCoin protocol.
LikeCoin Attribution Protocol
LikeCoin creates unique fingerprints for creative contents and traces footprints of all derivative works along with content creator and service provider of them. Further than that, LikeCoin incentivises attribution and cross-application collaboration with Proof of Creativity mechanism.
LikeCoin Token
LikeCoin token is a utility token based on Ethereum and is ERC-20 compliant.
Token Distribution
The total number of LikeCoin token is capped at 2bil and is divided into 4 pools: token sale (600 mil), ecosystem development (200 mil), team (200 mil) and creators (1 bil).
Token Sale
LikeCoin tokens are only exchangeable with ETH during token sale period. The standard rate is 1ETH to 40,000 LikeCoin, with optional bonus of lock up period of 6 months.
Tokens will be sold in 4 stages: Early Believers (50% bonus, i.e. 20,000 extra LikeCoin per ETH), Institution (50% bonus), Early Bird (25% bonus) and Public Sale (no bonus except referral bonus). Remaining token at the end of the token sale period, if any, will be transferred to the Ecosystem Development pool.
For the avoidance of doubt, LikeCoin is designed to be used in the ecosystem and LikeCoin holders will not receive any voting rights at board meetings or shareholder meetings.
Use of Proceeds
While LikeCoin tokens will be used for settlement of majority compensation of the team and part of the ecosystem development, proceeds from token sale will be used in ETH or converted fiat currency in other areas 50% of the proceeds are budgeted for development and operation, especially hosting of the creative contents; 30% to marketing and development; 10% legal and administration and finally 10% for contingency and long-term reserve.
LikeCoin Foundation
All the LikeCoin tokens and proceeds from token sale are managed by LikeCoin Foundation Limited, which is a tax-exempt NGO under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong. The Directors of the Foundation are independent and are responsible for monitoring the issuance of tokens, payrolls or material contractors’ compensation and use of proceeds in general. The financial reports of the Foundation were and will be released to public.
