welcome to S5…
I would like to know how we the viewers can earn from this project, what’s your next plan after this hackatron (whether you win a prize or not).

Do you have any funding?
Are you going to create your own token to reward users or going to use $trx, usdd and/or usdt?

Yo @Prince-Onscolo :wave:

Flixe is an idea close to my heart and has been on my mind for quite a while. Now’s the perfect time to bring it to life. This hackathon is the ideal opportunity to kick things off. Win or lose, Flixe is hitting the public network and there’s no looking back.

Regarding the Tokens :thinking: Still figuring out what to go with. Should we go custom or stick with TRX? What’s your take?

And about the :moneybag: part for Flixe, I will give u a small galnce on waht is in my mind:

For Creators:

  • Got an awesome vid? Sell it, easy peasy.
  • micro-tips, it’s like your fans buying you a virtual coffee popcorn🍿
  • Ads? Yeah, pop 'em in.

For Viewers:

  • You like a vid? Just buy it and it’s all yours. Even make some cash off it later.

For Backers:

  • Wanna invest? You can literally own a piece of that vid, throuh croudfunding.
  • Get a slice of the revenue automatically through smart contracts.

@adroitakash so basically content creators can sell their content or rent it out to users,

Is the content going to be uploaded on the blockchain :thinking: doesn’t bittorrent have the right facilities for such a project, less cost with low gas fees?

Welcome to Season 5, it’s exciting to see your buidl and what you got going on.
After a careful read, here’s my assessment; Flixe appears to be a promising venture that taps into the growing world of digital entertainment through blockchain technology. Its focus on creating symbiotic relationships among content creators, viewers, and advertisers is intriguing.
This brings me to just two questions;

Could you elaborate on the process of pitching ideas and attracting investments through FlixFund? How will the community-like features for creators and investors work?

What strategies are in place to prevent ad overload and ensure a smooth viewing experience for users, despite the integration of advertisements?

Hi @fabsltsa

For Season 4, I developed a social media platform called Evoie. I couldn’t fully complete at the end due to some health issues. I’ve since rewritten the whole project and deployed it to the mainnet. Check it out at evoie.in!
I’m currently working on adding some DeFi features that will benefit social media creators.

So, need to know how Flixe is going to get benefit out of smart contracts, right? Picture this: You watch a movie and boom—everyone who had worked and invested in making it gets paid. No more chasing down payments or dealing with confusing contracts. It’s automatic, dude.

And here’s another cool part: dynamic ads. You know how ad slots usually work? Forget that. Now, advertisers can bid in real-time and the smart contract just sorts it out, giving the slot to the highest bidder.

Now, about decentralization, man, it’s a win-win-win for creators, viewers, and advertisers. Creators don’t have to stress about middlemen. They get their cash directly, and also, no one can mess around with their content ownership. It’s like written in stone—or, well, blockchain.

Hope I have covered your concerns , If not let me know.

About Evoie, I’m adding some DeFi features to help creators a bit more. The big plan in my head right now is to introduce a credit score system based on your account activity and views. Once that’s set up, you could actually get a loan within Evoie, using your content and account as collateral. I’m also planning to structure some investment options in Evoie to make sure there’s enough liquidity for the loans. So yeah, some neat features are in the pipeline.

I’m also considering taking this DeFi idea and making it a standalone project for Season 5. If you have any good inputs regarding this, please share them with me. I’ll include those things in Evoie to make the DeFi experience better.
