Boolean.News Discord Channel Launching With Just About A Month To Go To Beta Functionality!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to send out a quick update regarding our Boolean Launch Cycle! We are launching Beta Functionality on just about the end of June and we are still on schedule to meet that date. Additionally, based on the request of Steemians, we have created a Discord Server where people can chat about the future of Boolean/Booleancoin, Make Feature Requests prior to the Support Site Opening and to just have general discussion regarding the state of Media, News, and Information across the Web, as there is always more to talk about there. If you'd like to join the Discord Channel, you can find it at:
This invite link will never expire, so feel free to share it around and if you have any questions, I can be reached at the Discord Channel (I'm Moderator there). If you're looking for where to buy Booleancoins in the meantime, you can navigate to:
Boolean Leads The Fight Against Fake News!
Fake news became a topic of wide public concern during the 2016 U.S. election season. GainingSteem.Com’s Platform Boolean acts as a guiding light within the public eye, giving users information on what is most accurate, based on the prevailing sentiment of its users and the way their votes land, in concert with the power of Machine Learning. We want to put a stop to Fake News And Misinformation across all media outlets, mainstream and niche. We will provide this real-time feedback through our mobile applications, browser plugins, and our web application. We will employ a number of AI-Powered Web Crawlers which will gather, curate, and measure different aspects of news, with an emphasis on news that is going viral. Our goal is for users to be armed WHILE they consume their news (our applications matching content they are in the process of consuming with existing analysis of content that is similar/the same). By empowering users against Fake News with this toolset, we hope to increase the efficacy of everyday people in skills of critical analysis and fact checking.
Utilizing the Ethereum Blockchain’s Transparency and Permanency, Boolean is a platform being created by GainingSteem.Com to end Fake News. Boolean will provide real-time feedback to users as they consume News on Social Media, News Sites, Blogging Sites (steemit included), YouTube, etc.! This will happen during their consumption, to prevent Confirmation Bias (the tendency of a person to disregard information that conflicts with their existing world view and to absorb that which supports it) and to promote a clearer understanding of topics and issues that they read about. Boolean will counter many of the problems faced by News Consumers on sites like Facebook and Twitter, including Machine Learning problems that lead to users only receiving information that supports/doesn't conflict with their pre-existing ideas. The Use Cases are endless, from keeping voters informed to providing a tool set to investors to have a more informed opinion regarding an asset!
Really great concept my dear friend.I would like to know that there is any way to earn these coins in the freebies
Yes you can earn 300 free tokens. To know more visit https://booleancoin.com/earn-booleancoins-1
Hi @anikearn, as @rajuyadav mentions below, you can earn them that way!
Can you explain as how will the project work, I went through the whitepaper but could not understand the mechanism.
Hi @ashayadav, so a really simple explanation of how it works is that we have utilized and begun to define additional industry best practices/standards of fact checking in this nascent field (news accuracy management) to create a set of Tests, both automatic and manual tests which can be carried out by users utilizing our platform and they can manage accuracy for their own sites or audit other sites that they are concerned are spreading fake news (facebook is a very common example, but there is a lot of viral fake news all over the internet, including on steemit, as things becoming viral causes a snowball effect, especially for misinformation/propaganda). Once our APIs roll out (August 2018), enterprise users will be able to integrate our automatic testing into their websites so that content can be flagged as it is created.
This is all done using our Boolean Prioritization Model, which utilizes the expert-defined standards of Fact Checking Forums in order to weight different negative aspects of content that point toward inaccuracy. The different weights will alter the influence of each given automatic or manual test on the overall risk score of a given article. The Prioritization Model will evolve over time utilizing AI and User Input, as well as change as industry standards change.
Our mobile apps will do auto-checking of pages that you open in your browser/in the app so that you have real-time checks of news accuracy. We will have a trending page which will display trending, viral articles that have high potential of being inaccurate or false. Automatic testing of pages will be as simple as inputting a URL and submitting it for testing.
They can manage their tests in created projects that they create with their account. Finally, they can create a permanent record of the Accuracy Audit and a permanent record of the state of a website page that contains the fake content on the Ethereum Blockchain.
Booleancoin will be needed in order to permanently upload content to the Ethereum Blockchain, another incentive to hold the token. This will be extremely useful in legislation/legal cases where the spreading of misinformation is important as a point of evidence of Fraud, Negligence, Slander, etc.
Holders of the token will be able to earn Booleancoin in the early days of the platform by holding the coin (details to come) and there will be a profit sharing mechanism for holders of Booleancoin as we begin to sell Enterprise Subscriptions, which will include the use of our Monitoring Team Services, the use of our APIs once they role out, as well as custom integration with their existing business processes for content editing and accuracy verification. Freelance Citizen Journalists will also be able to display public profiles of their past testing and analysis and users will be able to bid Booleancoin on jobs/tasks that they define in our forum/request bin. As with all successful tokens, we will also be expanding different economic utilizations of the token over time and adapting its uses, to incentivize people to hold the coin, thus increasing value of the coin. :)
There will be more clarification, support documentation, and even live and recorded webinars for people to utilize soon after the platform roll out.
Thanks for such a detailed answer, I have a much better understanding of the mechanism now. I am looking forward to be a part of the program.
Can’t wait for the end of June.
Nice, can't wait to see boolean in action!
Great, been waiting for this discord channel for a while now
The concept of Boolean is really great and time demanding... recently Elon musk also raised the point to stop spreading fake news
That's one use that's very important, voting. I know the future of voting would be on the blockchain, and Boolean would be right beside it
