I agree. Online transactions are gaining popularity nowadays and same goes for the use of cryptocurrency. So I guess Bidium team came up to these concepts of creating new and different platforms using blockchain technology. This is really a great project that we should support and watch out for.

I believe many prefer to be a freelancer since they can work anytime and anywhere as long as there is an internet. Plus they get higher pays as compared to typical office work. Less hassle Less traffic More money. This is something new that Bidium has to offer. I am just curious how the blockchain technology and the crypto world can change the game?

That's correct! Now that everything was digitalized and everything was made easy. There's  BIDIUM who came up with an idea that revolutionized the traditional way of hiring a freelancer and the way we buy and sell in an auction. I may say that this is really a great product of Blockchain technology.

Just like any other gigs, we find on other freelancing platforms wherein you can name your price so employers can choose among those gigs? My only question is that what kind of gigs would be offered in Bidium Platforms to choose from?

I agree that everything is possible on the internet. But with Blockchain technology, I think the hacker will have a very hard time to hack it. Imagine that every computer connected to the blockchain tries to update the blocks. Since the platform will have millions of blocks involved, the hacker also needs a powerful computer that can simply overpower every computer that is connected to the decentralized network. So I can conclude that no one will dare to hack LiNA, the time and the money that you need to spend to hack the system will not be worth it.

Merchants are simply called in layman's term as Sellers. They sell products or services.

Do I need to clarify if you are referring to freebies? Being a helper is not about freebies or anything. The Helper does the quality review for a product or services, vote for a review and do a monthly report about quality reviews.

This is what a helper receives::

LiNA is way better than the existing review sites. The technology used was too different from the current review sites. The Helper Board approved the qualified Helper who submitted his/her CV together with proof of domain knowledge, personal value, etc.

Please see below for the strengths of Lina compared to the current system (*based on the LiNA Whitepaper)

Current system

1. The result of the evaluation is not transparent and it is easy to lose trust from users.
2. Easily influenced by outside factors due to centralized review.
3. Users do not have the ability to monetize on the system.
4. No specific review criteria for each subject
5. Often only focus on certain products or services
6. Lack of motivation for reviewers (Common Users and Helpers) to improve their review quality.
7. Revenue is not transparent.

1. The results are completely transparent to the users
2. The assessment is decentralized so it cannot be faked.
3. Users and Helpers can earn Lina token basing on their contribution.
4. Build specific review criteria for each subject with the assistance of available team of Helpers.
5. Unlimited types of products or services.
6. Users can become Helpers if they have many high-quality reviews. Helper may lose their position if there are many poor-quality reviews.
7. Revenue is completely recorded on the blockchain and visible to the public.

True enough that reviews are vital in making a decision before we buy a certain product or avail services. Most of the time, I look for quality reviews if I want to travel or buy some stuff on the internet. The success of every project was based on needs so I agree that this will be a successful one.

I am interested to be a Helper too. Aside from receiving a substantial portion of the advertising revenue, I can also have the first-hand experience of how LiNA really works. Being part of  LiNA team will be an honor especially on creating quality reviews that cannot be bought by some huge companies who wanted to manipulate the review industry.

Good Point! It is a win-win situation for both companies and consumers (end users). If there will be a fair review, product quality will certainly be improved and the companies reputation will surely be uplifted if they've done the right countermeasures to improve their product and services.

It is true that the user is often influenced by the interaction and review of other users of the product. Therefore, every review platform is very important to be reliable and trustful. I am glad that LiNA fits that characteristics plus its transparency.

I also tried to locate the LInA Rating App on Google Play but failed to get one. I want to explore the said App so we may know how it works.  I also search for an APK file on Google but I don't think that the existing downloadable "Lina Rating" APK file on the net is the real LInA Rating App. Be careful about what we download on the net because it may contain viruses. Be safe than sorry guys.

You do have a good point there buddy. On my own point of view, if LInA will be validating a certain user/buyer. They should be requiring proof of purchase or anything that will prove that the reviewers really own a certain product. But is it really necessary to be a certified buyer before you can give your product review as a user? What if the product was given to you as a gift? I think this will be a great challenge to LInA team because not all products have serial numbers as reference.

In connection with your question about qualification. If you are a plain user, you don't have required qualification. You may post your own quality review about a certain product anytime. But, if you are a Helper, the LInA team requires you to submit your CV and you should have created tons of quality reviews.

I don't think that bad reviews from Lina users will be deleted. That's a NO-NO for reviews. When we say that the review that is posted was based on blockchain technology, there is no way (or I may say close to "no way") to delete a certain review done by anyone. According to what I have read and understood in the Whitepaper (kindly read white paper page 9 where it says "Publish lots of quality reviews, which are widely accepted (like/agree). After reaching the specific level, the reviewer will be promoted to Helper.") This is the reason why users' reviews will be evaluated by the LInA Team, if the review was "widely accepted", meaning even if it is good or bad review but if it is "reliable" and "based on facts", it will certainly be widely accepted and may be used as a basis for promotion in becoming a Helper.

That was the very reason why LINA got the idea to put the Reviews to Blockchain Technology because of the transparency of the reviews as well as the reviewers. They also strengthen the reviewers' reputation by means of evaluating them according to their expertise.
