Our SN is the first social media moderated by voting its users. This allows to favor indie authors more than Twitter (probably, our main competitor) does.

Zon will profit from “taxing” on:

• purchasing user’s items;
• donations to users.

The profit will spread between the company, the profit sharing token holders, affiliates that led buyer and seller to the purchase or donation. The affiliate timeframe is planned to be unbounded.

We hope to size 10% of Twitter’s market but profit more than 10% of Twitter thanks to our marketplace integration.

Zon will establish a profit sharing token (PST), proportional to holding of thereof the blockchain revenues will spread.

WARNING: Non-blockchain revenue, such as from possible running Google Ads on the WordPress site of the project, will not be distributed to PST holders. Anyway, it is expected that most revenue will be through the above blockchain-based “taxation”.

The PST will be created on the ICP network and its 15% will be allocated to launchpad investors (proportionally too their investment). In the first token sale, we sell 8% of our token. Transferring from the sold token to the ICP-based PST will be accomplished using either CK (chain-key) or other chain-fusion features of ICP blockchain, as we deem appropriate (most likely, CK). The profit from these 15% of tokens is not counted towards profit of our company.

PST holders will be able to swap (1:1) their launchpad token to PST and to withdraw profits through an ICP-based UI (note that this does not require you installing a browser extension) that will be linked to from the WordPress site.

Zon is in development. As of 18 Nov 2024, the project requires a new developer (to have whose salary we release the token early).

For more information, refer to the pitchdeck.

In the context of Internet, Network Effect means: If you post one post, it will go unnoticed. You need to post 1000 (or 1M) good posts to take influence.

Network effect may harm in such ways as:

• Somebody having an important message to the world (it may be a mathematical discovery, for instance, or a description of a defect in computers controlling nuclear weapons) maybe unable to do this, unless he/she is joined to a big institution (what is not always the case, for example because of receiving no science degree due to discrimination). By the way, there is exact same problem: I, the CEO of Zon, have a trouble publishing my grandiose math discoveries and I found an error in Ada compiler, a software used in thermonuclear weapons. So, I decided to start my own social network.
• It is difficult for the outsiders to build an effective online business. As a result, outsiders may for example become sick because of poverty and spend governmental medical foods or to become homeless. That’s no good.
• There is a whole article in MIT university site on how network effect may bring down multiple industries or even the whole economy (here “network effect” term is used in a wider sense, as inter-influence of different industries, but poverty of a limited set of people may spread to the entire economy).

So, you see how harmful network effect is. We need a means to overcome it. How to do it? We need a site that provides every user equal “rights” for both publishing and earning money. It doesn’t mean that everybody would have equal number of views of his/her posts. But it means that the outcome of publishing is roughly proportional to investment of work and time of the user.

How do I claim to have created such a site? How does it work?

My idea is that the site consists of items in folders. The user controls his/her owned folders (he may for example sell something at his item), unlike Facebook or Twitter that have rules harmful for users. But there are also communal folders, where everybody can post. A user can post to an already established communal folder that has many readers already.

Unlike traditional sites like Facebook or Reddit, there are no moderation rules (such as disallowing paid posts or somebody to advertise himself), but moderation is entirely done by the mood of users: They will vote down your item if it is offtopic or otherwise offensive. Hopefully, items won’t be voted down just because somebody tells about himself or requests money (unless it is spam). Can’t somebody’s telling about himself be interesting? If yes, why to disallow it?

In other words, you in a sense get almost the same treatment of your posts as if you were an owner of the social network: you can sell, you can advertise yourself, and you can post to whatever folder you deem appropriate.

So, again, a user can post to an already established communal folder that has many readers already and this way have success in publishing from the first try.

Have I really overcome network effect for both publicity and amounts of money earned from a blog? The time will show.

Please try our social network Zon, at least it is a nice way to put items in folders, that I hope you will like more than Twitter.

The post Network Effect And How to Overcome It Using Our Social Media appeared first on Zon Social Media.

This is a database for the Internet Computer blockchain that allows software developers to make lists (for example, lists of posts on a social network, grants in a future replacement for Gitcoin, NFTs on NFT sites), and with the help of a special “plugin” NacDBReoder, also change the order of lists and remove (effectively) elements from lists. It is recommended to use it together with the well-known CanDB database. In short: without NacDB, neither a social network nor lists of NFTs, etc. can be made properly, and so on. By donating, you are also supporting science, because NacDB will be used in Salaries Science – my future science grant system.

Zon is a platform that sets itself apart from all other social networks. With global interest in such platforms ever-increasing, we’ve identified a unique gap in the market that will attract a substantial user base. Investing in this startup not only offers you the opportunity for passive income, but our specialized approach to the project will make success possible.

Any indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.

Here is our pitchdeck.

Why invest in Zon: the versatility of modern social networking

Zon specializes in organizing elements into folders, where each element can exist in multiple folders simultaneously. This means it can function similarly to Dmoz. However, if you’d like to use it like Twitter, you can: simply create your folder and populate it with your messages.

Our vision is to blend the best features of Twitter, LiveJournal, Dmoz and an online shop – Kindle into a single multi-application. What sets Zon apart is its versatility. We’re not just another social network; we’re an adaptable platform designed to meet diverse user needs.

An integral part of Zon’s innovative approach is our cutting-edge NacDB database, developed through extensive research in the actor model—a fundamental concept in concurrent computation dating back to 1973. The database will stand as a landmark in computer science, demonstrating how to build reliable systems out of unreliable components in the actor model.

Twitter deleting posts a moderation measure, but we just move low-quality posts downstream (accordingly user’s votes). Our aim is to give you the opportunity to organise your messages systematically, allowing you to better select the content that is important to you and our audience.

We’re not stopping there. First and foremost, the Zon platform will be able to be used like a Kindle, plus we are developing a comprehensive affiliate programme for both buyers and sellers. This dual approach not only enriches the user experience, but also allows us to effectively monetise the platform.

Allocate your money and invest in Zon:

The way to invest in Zon is by visiting our project page on WeFunder.com. There, you’ll find extensive information that will provide a comprehensive view of our venture.

Here’s how we plan to allocate the funds:

• Web and App Design: Approximately $1,200 will be allocated to developing the look and feel of both the application and website.
• Robust Software Development: We plan to allocate between $3,000 to $10,000 for bug bounty programs to ensure our software’s reliability.
• Marketing Plan Execution: we will use all the remaining money to implement our go-to-market strategy

At Zon, we prioritize your security from the very start of your investment journey. Primarily, we focus on a ‘Simple Agreement for Future Equity’ (SAFE).

This agreement between the investor and the startup guarantees the investor rights to future equity, similar to a warrant, without specifying a fixed share price at the time of the initial investment.

Before taking the next step, be sure to check out our dedicated investment page to gain a complete understanding of how you can become part of this promising startup investment.

The post Invest in Zon: A Modern Social Network That Stands Out from the Rest appeared first on Zon Social Media.

A component of this project NacDB database (that I am creating from scratch) required research on the topic how to make a reliable system out of unreliable actors in actor model.

I tried several variants and finally came up with a solution that I will tell later. Because it is a serious computer science research, I should publish a research article in a peer-reviewed journal.

I would probably not make it 100% reliable, if I were told in advance how much time and work it will take, better leaving it not 100% reliable but done in a simple way. It does not matter now anyway, as it is finally done! Now I can work on Zon Social Network itself.

But now I have a topic to publish in a computer science journal.

Invest into this innovative social network, based on a scientific research.

Our software also allows carbon accountants to collect a carbon “tax”, creating a free market of carbon accountants that compete for quality of service and this tax.

Our software consists of two parts:

• Ethereum smart contracts
• Colony-based DAO

Later we may release also a version of this software for DFINITY Internet Computer (and SNS-based DAO), because our corporate policy is to shift from slow and expensive Ethereum to efficient DFINITY Internet Computer blockchain.
