How does Partiko (plan to) make money? [Partiko 2018]

in #partiko6 years ago (edited)

The Partiko mobile client has been around for about 8 months, developing faster then many other projects.
We have seen several interviews with the lead developer @crypto.talk and many posts have been published about Partiko, but nowhere was i able to find what the business model of Partiko is and who is paying for it.

Don't get me wrong, the client is amazing and it's great to see actual useful apps being developed for the STEEM blockchain, apps that even grandma can use.
BUT what the commercial internet has taught us is that if you are not paying for the product, then you are the product.

I'm very surprised that few ask the important questions, while everything else on the the STEEM blockchain is very open and transparent.

I hope Partiko can one day share their view on this matter.

Very glad you asked! Once we integrated wallet we will allow people to accept micropayments on their content. And we are going to take a cut on that. Does that make sense?

Thanks for replying. However one important question remains unanswered.
Where does the money come from for the last 8 months?

Have you heard about Partiko? It’s a really convenient mobile app for Steem! With Partiko, you can easily see what’s going on in the Steem community, make posts and comments (no beneficiary cut forever!), and always stayed connected with your followers via push notification!

Partiko also rewards you with Partiko Points (3000 Partiko Point bonus when you first use it!), and Partiko Points can be converted into Steem tokens. You can earn Partiko Points easily by making posts and comments using Partiko.

We also noticed that your Steem Power is low. We will be very happy to delegate 15 Steem Power to you once you have made a post using Partiko! With more Steem Power, you can make more posts and comments, and earn more rewards!

If that all sounds interesting, you can:
