Hello @socialdesign

From the very beginning, all of our competitors tried to accuse us of being their clone. We didn't react at all and did not allow ourselves to attack competitors in their threads on the bitcointalk forum, in chat rooms, etc. But this case has gone beyond all the limits of decency and we will answer.

We can not be someone's clone for several reasons:

1. our domain name Viuly.com has belonged to us since 2014. It was not bought a few months ago.

2. We have been working on our project for over 7 months and our fully working alpha will be released in the next few days.

3. We discovered the whitepapers of all our competitors so brazenly attacking us, and found nothing in common, except for using IPFS protocol for file storage. But I want to note that to date, all projects related to the storage of files, use IPFS protocol, since this is the only real and working solution in the blockchain industry. So it is logical that our project uses IPFS protocol for the video file storage.

4. As for accusing us of cloning, what did we clone? We have a completely different concept and logic behind the project:

a) We pay our users for viewing the video
b) Advertisers have the opportunity to add their ads and pay VIU tokens to the video authors and users directly, without intermediaries.
c) We give our content creators 4 streams of income: advertising revenue sharing, sales of their premium content, subscriptions to their paid channels and receiving tips.

None of the above is available online on any other platform to date. Absolutely all competitors try to solve just one problem, while we approach the issue in a comprehensive manner and solve all the existing problems of centralized video platforms.
