Can a representative of Snip expand on the recent announcement of a partnership with Bancor and Matchpool. What are the pros for these partnerships? Do these partnerships change any of Snip's plans?

Additionally, can you explain how Snip will address the issue of plagiarism? How will Snip know if an article has been plagiarized by a writer from an outside source? Are there concerns by Snip of financial consequences due to plagiarism associated lawsuits?

Hey this is Ran, glad to expand. Actually the two partnerships are quite different in style. With Bancor, the goal is to improve the management of the token and making it easier to use for our community. The token changer protocol could be quite useful for that. With Matchpool, the focus is on adding more high-quality writers which will improve the Snip product. Like with AdEx, we're constantly looking for partnerships which make sense and complement the things that we're focused on, meaning we'll partner on things that aren't our core business (ML, Writer Relations, Website dev).

Regarding plagiarism, in the upcoming months we'll be checking every uploaded article manually to make sure that it's authentic. Over time we'll improve our technologies to make the manual process unnecessary. This is a technology that already works well for YouTube with a much harder problem (video copying) and we're confident that we can manage it. Btw, copied snippets are bad snippets since the idea is to explain the topic in a short and concise way that's usually different from classical media writing.

Hope the answer is clear.

Thank you for the quick reply!
