The Smoke Exchange is a self-serve advertising platform for the marijuana industry. It will connect advertisers and publishers directly and make advertising opportunities readily available and affordable for cannabis businesses.

The legalization of cannabis has opened up a promising new market for many organizations and businesses. Research indicates that the legal use of marijuana is on the rise globally, and statistics show a steady annual growth in the industry. However, the industry is prohibited from using traditional advertising platforms such as Google AdWords, Facebook, Taboola, Outbrain, etc.

Washington, Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts, California, Alaska, Colorado and Oregon already allow the recreational use of marijuana. Also, a total of 28 states have signed up for medical use of marijuana.

Canada is scheduled to legalize marijuana in July of 2018 and many other countries around the world are following suit.

Using data provided by BDS Analytics, it is predicted that the legalized marijuana industry will grow from $6 billion in 2016 to over $25 billion in 2020. As a consequence, marijuana marketing will be bigger than ever from this year onward. Recently, Apple allowed marijuana applications into its app store after many petitions from several cannabis companies. This is clear proof that there is already a shift in the needle which will shift even more in the months to come.

The fledgling cannabis advertising industry is growing in leaps and bounds compared to a few years back when there weren’t a lot of companies that paid attention to that part of their business. The problem that plagues the industry is the restrictions that traditional media companies place on their ability to advertise. There is a lack of clarity surrounding why traditional media outlets restrict marijuana advertisements on their platforms. In some cases, publishers are banned, whilst others are allowed, even when they all follow the same guidelines. This has created an uneasy relationship between the legal cannabis industry and traditional media.

The steady growth of the cannabis industry means that many marijuana brands are making millions of dollars every year. However, the growth is stunted by the limitations faced in the advertising industry.

The only way to avert this is by reaching out to new customers through an efficient and effective advertising model. This is where the Smoke Exchange comes in.

The Smoke Exchange is the first platform to cater solely to the advertising needs of the marijuana industry. It is a self-serve digital marketplace for advertisers and publishers to connect directly and trade. Advertisers and publishers will be able to buy and sell advertising space in an efficient manner with no restrictions using cryptocurrencies.

The Smoke Exchange token-(SMX) will act primarily as the medium of exchange between publishers and advertisers. It will also be a store of value for investors.

This document explains how The Smoke Exchange will revolutionize advertising in the cannabis industry. This document will also cover The Smoke Exchanges diverse features, technology, crowd-sale (ICO), proposal, roadmap and the benefits of investing with us.

OPUS is a decentralized music sharing platform that leverages blockchain technology to guarantee fair compensation for artists, transparent and reliable payment rules; and extensive music content stored by the community. OPUS introduces its own digital token (OPT) for payments and revenue management for both artists and fans. These tokens give us new possibilities in the music industry: artists can decide how to split revenues between band members and for each song separately, can share their own revenue with the fans, who in turn can support their favorite artists or can purchase extra content. Leveraging the speed and redundancy of a decentralized and immutable file storage technology – IPFS (Interplanetary File System), OPUS can scale and deliver thousands of tracks per second in a very decentralized manner.

This is achieved by encrypting music tracks on the go and storing the encrypted music files permanently on the IPFS swarm.

The smart contract on the blockchain collects hashes of the statistics of the played songs which are the basis for revenue calculations for each artist – this data are available for public and its immutability can be checked by comparing hashes.

When everything is transparently stored in the OPUS smart contract, we also consider introducing additional governance mechanisms such as an OPUS DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) used for voting on new features, artists revenue sharing and a variety of other possibilities.

Due to the fast-paced emergence of blockchain technology, and high fees within the Ethereum ecosystem, OPUS has decided to start with hybrid technology stack: music files and payments are fully decentralized on IPFS and Ethereum and real time transactional data between players/web panels and the platform are API with off-chain data storage based. With technology growth and its business suitability OPUS will responsibly and gradually switch its remaining components to the blockchain.

Everyone is familiar with services such as Uber and Booking.com, but few people are aware that, in fact, they are affiliate programs. An affiliate program is a marketing model, where an affiliate intermediary is involved in a promotional campaign, and an advertiser pays for end results.

Any advertiser can create their own affiliate program. They can do so independently or by using existing affiliate program constructs. In the latter case, the advertiser is subject to the affiliate’s costs, as well as the need to combat potential fraudulent actions on the part of affiliates. Moreover, the affiliates lack trust in the advertiser, as no one can be sure that results are not being concealed or tampered with.

Such shortcomings are absent when an advertiser relies on the services of an affiliate network. However, costs rise as up to 50% of results could be commissions paid for the affiliate network.

But, what if a solution could combine the benefits of both approaches? Introducing the world’s first decentralized marketing platform – HOQU.

HOQU is a decentralized affiliate platform combining the performance-marketing model with blockchain technology. The aim of the project is to create a decentralized ecosystem, which will be used to build CPA services, ranging from affiliate programs to affiliate networks and related products. HOQU integrates advertisers, networks and affiliates into a single platform, significantly reducing the financial costs for all market participants.

The project’s mission is to make the distribution of rewards in the internet affiliate market more equitable, and to set new standards of transparency and efficiency to benefit all conscientious market participants.

Our goal is to provide advertisers, affiliates, and affiliate networks with a new service so that internet marketing becomes easy for its participants, thus creating a decentralized ecosystem where market participants can openly interact.

Since the introduction of Bitcoin, blockchain technology has grown by leaps and bounds. Blockchain has allowed not only cryptocurrencies to flourish but has allowed traditional sectors such as financial institutions to utilize this technology. A sharp rise in price and usage of Bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Ripple, NEM, Litecoin, Dash, Monero — has shown the world that the global financial system is ready for a change. The change that will take the industry to a whole new level where transparency, data integrity, and decentralization will become the main pillars of its growth.

Bitcoin is the most known and valued cryptocurrency by the market capitalization. Altcoins is a collective name for all other cryptocurrencies, and they have been diluting Bitcoin‘s market share in recent times. Blockchain has been the dominant design of peer-to-peer crypto currencies. However, blockchain technology is still relatively young, and have the potential for exponential growth, leading to new offerings in the market.

The ATB Coin is one of such new offerings. Its state of the art solution is built around most advanced technological capabilities of SegWit & Lightning Network to deliver blazing fast, secure and near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world. It is designed to overcome well-known inefficiencies within government central banks and other crypto currencies. It induces transactions that are fully secure, private and anonymous.

However, such a rapid upward trend in the popularity of cryptocurrencies came with its drawbacks that may threaten the further integration of the digital, decentralized currencies:

1. Increasing number of attacks and forks
2. Double spending
3. Poor network security
4. A limited number of available coins
5. Increasing complexity of coin mining
6. Slow transaction processing
7. Increasing transaction fees
8. Price fluctuations
9. Lack of malleability within the network

The solution to the problems mentioned above is ATB (Alternative Technology Base) Coin. ATB Coin is an innovative decentralized cryptocurrency incorporating the advanced technologies that tailor the needs of primary market players – users, investors, and business owners.
