Lumenauts have been asking for a social network with Stellar integration for some time and we’ve been listening. We already had something like this in mind but with a slightly different approach. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a lot of small projects in SBC and now SCF that are trying to fill very small niches with very little potential markets. While this is commendable and I respect the enthusiasm, they are not viable long term without cash injections. On addirktive, we want to bring a lot of these ideas and more together into one platform with full Stellar integration and give developers with smaller projects a platform to easily connect with potential users. addirktive explained in short: addirktive will be the framework where the user signs up and gets a pre-funded Stellar account with the necessary trustlines to interact with the platform already set. No need to fund, no need to own XLM to get started. Services like ‘Paid Social Network’ or ‘City States: Medieval” will be developed as add-ons or plugins. The user can easily opt-in to these with a simple click/confirmation. This is to ensure that people can decide where to participate and where not. Think about it like adding mods to a game on steam. For example: To enable multi platform access for City States (to continue playing a game on different devices), the player needs to create an account with addirktive. Once signed up, they can opt-in to also participate in the social network, to earn XLM which they can then exchange on the SDEX to City States currency or just to be part of this awesome community and to learn more about Stellar. Of course this also works the other way around. Users of the social network will get introduced to City States and other services on addirktive where they can earn or make use of their crypto. SDEX interface, localization, Stellar community projects such as publicnode, lumenthropy, StellarPay, the different wallets, exchanges etc. A Paid Stellar Social Network As a Stellar user, when you want to keep up to date with projects and their progress, you need to follow them on twitter, facebook, instagram, discord, keybase, their own blogs or etc. Everyone seems to have their own preferred medium to publish news. I think we are ready for our own portal where hopefully everyone that runs with Stellar also uses the portal to publish and read their news first concentrating our efforts. But this is just the basic start, because what good is a social network that doesn’t onboard new users for the Stellar Network right? And that’s why we will be a Paid Social Network to attract and introduce as many new people to Stellar as possible. addirktive Earn The Paid Social Network is just the first service that will pay users of addirktive for their activity. City States with its economy on the SDEX is another project where players can trade and earn cryptocurrency. But there are a lot more add-ons with earning opportunities possible that we’re planning to develop and integrate over time. Stellar Integration Full steam ahead is a Stellar account created. For frictionless onboarding of new users that don’t have XLM or don’t know about Stellar (yet), the account will also be funded by us as soon as the registration is confirmed. OP#1: create Stellar account with 3 XLM OP#2: establish needed trustlines (2 at the moment) OP#3: Send welcome tokens to interact with others This is the first step to show how fast Stellar is. addirktive will offer the usual features known from wallet providers like managing assets, trustlines and balances, sending and receiving funds etc. You can add your public keys to manage all accounts from one place without compromising your secret key (sign with cosmic.link) and name them internally. You can add known accounts to your friends list for quick access or just to observe their movements. Set up automatic subscriptions for weekly/monthly scheduled payments (Patreon-feature possible in the future). Social Proof Similar to keybase, users can send XLM to people on other social platforms like twitter, reddit, but also facebook, instagram etc without the need to install a messenger. As soon as the social identity is confirmed, the new user will receive the funds in his account on addirktive. This will be a great way to incentivise people to sign up using the reflink of the sender. Send 5 XLM to your friend on facebook Tell your friend where to claim it (with your reflink) ??? Profit With the use of custodial accounts, the sender can send any asset to the user as long as he’s covering the fee to set the trustline of the new user. Else it’ll be converted to XLM using path-payments. Registered users can also set preferred assets to receive like XLM, BTC, ETH, or any other asset issued on Stellar. Using path payments again, any tips will be automatically converted to their preferred asset. Bitcoiners will be able to tip fractions of BTC for the low cost of only 0.00001 XLM (that we’ll pay). Of course there will also be the option to tip users inside our own network. Unlike other crypto social networks that use databases to move funds, all these tips and payments are happening ‘on-chain’ either using the custodial starting account or a non-custodial/private account. For signing of operations we’ll implement cosmic.link (Trezor, Ledger, Laboratory and other SEP-7 wallet providers) to avoid becoming yet another service asking for your secret key. Project Integrations Examples of existing project integration could be Lumenthropy, ContentBattle or Publicnode. Without constant promotion, it’s unlikely for people to return to their websites regularly to donate. If @[deleted] @pickingunicorns or @[deleted] create a fanpage on the social network, users can follow, see its updates in their newsfeed and can donate at any time they want directly in their newsfeed without leaving the website. Using the pre-existing custodial account, users will be able to set up recurring payments/subscriptions without the need to confirm every payment. As long as there is enough funding in the account, the payment will be sent automatically at set dates. If all of these and possible more good causes sign up, we can also create a tip-splitter where users can send assets to one account that then evenly distributes to all supported projects. Another project I personally really like is the bounty feature of cgig. As a standalone not exciting enough to attract users could it be rather successful if integrated on addirktive with access to an existing user base. A Marketplace to offer services or digital goods will already be covered by default. Photons We were previously planning to tokenize and integrate Photons into the platform. Since reddit tokenized and issues Photons now directly on Stellar we are going to observe how this develops before making a call or if it would be more suitable to have our own community points. Since Photons are very disproportional distributed and only benefit reddit users, we are probably going for the latter and donate our Photons or start a raffle. Our Proposal for this SCF round is: To develop the addirktive framework To fully integrate Stellar into the already existing Social Network Script To add social proof and sending to other social accounts (reddit, facebook, twitter) To integrate City States into the addirktive framework (API development) And hopefully more, if enough Lumenauts vote for us! Why vote for us? We've been developing on Stellar regardless of whether our own money was on the line. We put SCF funds to good use . As you can see with City States, after receiving the fund at the end of October, the team constantly updated the community with weekly devlogs and made so much progress that even I am impressed with what the team is capable of. We are trustworthy . We received a payment of 800,000+ XLM ($55,000) from SDF by mistake and sent it back just minutes later . But most of all: We believe in the Stellar Network and its usefulness and want to showcase this to the whole world. SCF puts the decision in the community's hands. Let's grow the community projects together!

Feel free to test: I invite everyone to create a dummy account to check out the base social network script here: https://socialtest.website . Accounts don't need to be verified by email or have correct information. All accounts will be deleted on launch date. In the final version we won't ask for any personal information. We created a few fanpages of well known Stellar projects so you don't feel so lonely and get an idea how it could look like in the future. Obviously, these are NOT official accounts. I also highly recommend to switch to the NIGHT mode. For clarification: Development so far has been privately funded. SCF funds will not be used for payments of paid4 services. Paid4 services are designed to be self-sustainable or profitable. Funds will be used for development, initial funding of custodial accounts and marketing. City States and addirktive belong together, but are not one. While there is overlap, there are different core teams working on each project and each has their own budget. No SCF funds for City States have been or will be used for addirktive development. The integration will be for communication between game-server and web-server to enable players to manage their game-account, trades etc more conveniently in the web-portal. Other games or websites may follow this path using the same API. Images are taken from a design work in progress and used for visual effect. Texts and design can change in the final version and are not part of the proposal per se. Links: Twitter: https://twitter.com/addirktive Social Network: https://socialtest.website

[unknown] I wasn't aware of sngine, we didn't buy this from code-canyon, but you can be assured it's not the $35 version. If you'd read our proposal, you'd realize that this is not about the existing script but about the changes we will integrate. The social network is just one brick in the whole building. Our plan previously was to develop from scratch but we took the advice of other Lumenauts to heart and started looking for an existing script that we can build up on. Inventing the wheel again because we want to add a different chassis doesn't make economic sense. The script as is was only posted (and explained as such) so people can see the already existing functions of the base script. I feel weird that I need to defend the social network script here while the real meat is the addirktive concept and the network just a by-product to grow the audience... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I wish you the best of luck with your own proposal though, whatever that is good for...

[unknown] you probably got scammed. cus its same as the one on code canyon There are different version at different price levels... It wouldn't even matter if it was $1 as long as it's good for what we'll use it . [unknown] i also signed up and cant find any way or method this use the stellar blockchain , no wallet or anything just . So how does this use stellar. Feel free to read the proposal again. Or the ELI5 reply I posted for stellarkeys.

[unknown] fact remains its the same script. you still have not replied on how it uses Stellar. I never said it's not? I understand that you also can't comprehend the rest of my reply.

[unknown] Are you being serious? Re-read. Stellar integration is mentioned and explained like 100 times in this proposal and I'm not going to hire a translator for you.

Well, if you actually read, it doesn't mention any existing integration. That's what a proposal usually is for, to outline future plans. And I think I've proven with City States that we are our moneys worth and speed up development unlike a lot of other projects that just vanished after winning in the SCF. If you'd read the guidelines again, you will also notice that the qualification rule you think of doesn't exist in that way, else City States and others would have been disqualified in previous rounds. I understand that you are mad because I criticized how you handle swplug so I'll just leave it at that now.

Here a few quotes that I thought make it clear that it's not using XLM (yet). check out the base social network script here Accounts don't need to be verified All accounts will be deleted on launch date In the final version And then you might want to check back how much of the proposal was about the social network script ... (◔_◔)

[unknown] when will this be ready. Probably before swplug has more than 10 active merchants.

[unknown] Thats sad . whatever your vendetta against me or what i have worked on is , i hope you let it go , i was only asking questions like everybody else would by pointing out what i saw , i registered and all i saw was a bought script off codecanyon, with no changes only you proposing to add stellar blockchain , i asked when the final version will be out and you take a jab at swplug.com a service that have been proven to work, currently works . i will stop replying cus you are toxic and the community needs better people than what you portray . i will leave this to @StellarZac You can twist it like you want but you know that is not true. I did criticize you and I had the decency to remove it after your answer to not taint your proposal thread. You come in here, half-read my proposal and shit about one minor thing in the big picture and seriously think I'm not going to lash back? I made a snarky comment because you kept insisting. You are toxic to no end in this thread and were trying to escalate it. Didn't happen now you call for the mods?

addirktive framework + Paid Social Network

stellarkeys

I can't see any difference between the social network software Sngine and your website. Modifying and joining with $35 worth script is not ethical even you really didn't add Stellar support your project is mostly created by Sngine owner not you.

Sngine software : https://codecanyon.net/item/sngine-the-ultimate-social-network-platform/13526001
Sngine Demo for comparison : https://demo.sngine.com/

Those screenshots looks great & I'm looking forward for navigating the whole thing & throwing a couple of posts in. Curious to see how this is going to play out.

addirktive

I was involved in the first anchor iteration and for b1tcc defense, we proposed exactly that anchor design. What happens is that Reddit didn't want to be held responsible for issuing a cryptocurrency and thus, asked for the complete thing to be moved out of their website.

I'm confused how this is even a valid submission when City States already won and the above is more or less a placeholder CodeCanyon-esque social network. I honestly like the work of City States, but let's not get greedy here and lose focus. Stay on task with City States until it's fully completed and out of alpha/beta.

I'm also fairly certain the TOS of SCF states you can't win twice.

Barring that, let's just talk about the actual proposal here and what's been delivered:

Does it integrate with Stellar currently at all? I wouldn't consider it applicable to the SCF if it's not already integrated into the network.

Hi i got a question how would you challenge Facebook twitter or other Socail Networks? What is your marketing strategy?
What is your USP?
I think if i look at twitter, instagram, or tiktok they only are changing some use case, and they user interface if i look at your page it is similar to facebook.

the other thing is how would you handle server costs, etc.....
