Presearch - A decentralised crytocurrency driven search engine

datascience (55)in #cryptocurrency • 6 years ago

I recently came across an interesting cryptocurrency project which is in beta development - a cryptocurrency driven search engine.

They say that they are trying to build a decentralised search engine, although in the current beta phase the searches just get sent to your choice of current search providers (although this in itself is actually pretty handy). Each time you make a search you earn 0.25 presearch tokens (to a max of 8 tokens per day).

I'm not sure if they will be successful - search engine algorithms are extremely complex and people tend to develop very set habits on which one they use (sorry Altavista, Excite, Lycos, and friends). If you want to sign up for the beta testing (and earn presearch tokens) you can do so here: https://www.presearch.io/#beta.
