You can go to btc.us to purchase the decentralized domains and get more info.
This looks like a great deal to purchase domain for $5 valid for five years, if regular websites can also work with that domain.
Thank you for detailed explanation about auditors and screen operators, last question I would ask if this service is available in all countries or there are some restriction?
Bitfari will be available globally from day 1. Docs, websites and apps will be available in English, Spanish and French before Jan 2022. Testnet launch is Aug 22. There are no restrictions depending on the location to use the platform, however, some legal disclaimers will be different according to the region in which you deploy the screens. Two quick examples:
- You install Bitfari in your personal laptop to see contextual ads of your community and preaudit ads to make extra money - no limitations anywhere. You get paid in bitfaris from day one. If you happen to see an ad that was paid (not a free ad and not a Bitfari Foundation ad, you also get paid for that ad in BTC, STX or DAI, your choice).
- You install a Bitfari connected dashboard app as a favorite link in your Smart TV in your home - no limitations anywhere. You get paid in bitfaris from day one. The developer of the dashboard app also gets paid a cut. If you happen to see an ad that was paid (not a free ad and not a Bitfari Foundation ad, you also get paid for that ad in BTC, STX or DAI, your choice).
- You install a storefront screen anywhere in Canada, for example. You will see a legal disclaimer that reads along the lines of: "In Canada all advertisements should be displayed in English and French", therefore, as a screen operator you should only choose ads that meet this condition in Canada, Ads will come preaudited and flag to help you with this, but it is ultimately the responsability of the screen operator to abide by the law of his/her jurisdiction. We understand that people want to make BTC and that mining with your screen will be easier than with a server farm of asics but we do not advice breaking the law anywhere. Each screen is mapped to an area (lat, long plus country), in this fashion we identify applicable laws and notify you before hand. We also select local auditors whenever available. BTW, on average storefront screens are expected to earn about 100x more than private screens.
- Let's asume you life under a government which is banning all sorts of outdoor advertisements. This happened in Brazil in 2006:
https://newdream.org/blog/sao-paolo-ad-ban. Now, Bitfari is used for more than advertising. You can distribute messages or art, you can display store signage, etc.
In this case, you will still be able to use the platform in Brazil but we would show a legal disclaimer with a link to the law and a brief description. In this case, several agencies (the term we use for ad distribution channels) might disable ads in Brazil, but the blockchain will always be opened to all due to the nature of the service (it can be used for messaging and signage as well as advertisements).
- There are other markets with complicated rules (see this controversial article
https://www.wired.com/story/google-ads-sanctioned-countries-iran/). Again, we show the appropiate legal disclaimers, maybe some advertisers choose to only show contextual ads in mobile phones due to the nature of the market, maybe screen operators need an aditional feature that will allow them to make money and comply with regulations. In this case, we ship an updated screen projection app (essentially the wallet app used by screen operators) and then the market can keep growing.
Hope that helps clear things up.
