Hi Steemit, a quick headsup first. I will be writing posts regularly, mostly about upcoming projects or lesser known projects in the cryptospace. The articles will ideally be a short description by means of the 5 W’s & 1 H.
"I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who."
If anything needs to be improved, please let me know in the comments below. Also, as this is my second post, let me know if I should continue writing these posts by upvoting. Thanks in advance! With that being said, on to MUSICONOMI!
What is MUSICONOMI?
Musiconomi aims to reshape the way listeners and musicians engage, building on the capabilities made possible by the Musicoin blockchain. The Musicoin project is a blockchain-based pay-play platform that pays artist and rights-holders immediately and directly, using smart contract technology. With MUSICONOMI they envision a rich ecosystem where sharing and promoting great music deserves its own reward and where artists can incentivize social sharing to suit their needs.
Why MUSICONOMI?
Fans are one of the biggest assets artists have. MUSICONOMI will offer a feature for artists to reward them for their support. By having a simple mechanism to incentivize social sharing and exposure, the artist will be able to automatically give back to the fans. For example, on each track, artists will have the ability to adjust how much they want to allocate for sharing rewards. New artists can fuel social sharing by giving a higher reward, while more established artists may choose to keep more of their revenue.
Another example is to build your own playlists across genres. Share them, and generate revenue each time someone presses play. Curate your content and broadcast a streaming radio station, and generate revenue with each song played. Or publish a high quality music review blog and generate revenue each time a visitor clicks ‘read’.
There are countless additional features and tools that the Musiconomi team will consider, develop and deploy over the coming months and years. But at the root of the platform lies the premise - those who provide significant value to the network will be rewarded, and artists/rights-holders will be empowered to control their own content and stipulate the terms of its distribution in ways that have never been possible until now.

Any questions? Any improvements on my article? Please comment below. Oh, and if you have a upcoming or lesser known project in mind that you would like to see next time, let me know!
Ps: Read my article about the upcoming ICO Santiment (30th june): https://steemit.com/santiment/@steewrit/santiment-what-why-who-when-how-where
so how will the MUSIC token interact with MCI token?
any idea?
or should we just wait for future announcement?
thanks for the post btw. keep it up!
Here is the answer to your question :)
Thanks for asking!
Any updates yet?
Would accumulating music tokens now be the equivalent of buying into the ico, profit wise?
No update yet!
again a great article :)
If I may suggest, I dont know how well known it is, but I find interesting 0xproject. Upcoming ICO in Q3 or Q4, focusing on creating a platform for decentralized token exchanges. I just watched an interview with two of the developers, the project is very ambitious, I am a bit concern if the team as it is now could really make it to their plans.
But if you have an opinion about 0xproject, please share :)
Thanks! I will defo look into 0xproject, really appreciate you sharing it with me.
edit: I found someone who already looked into it in a way similar that I would do --> https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@tomshwom/0x-protocol-analysis
