Sale of markers in the VIP section of MapMess.com interactive platform

Draft open proposal for the consideration of the MapMess team

Russian version

What is the MapMess? Please refer to MapMess White Paper

Introduction

VIP category markers are expensive markers. Thus, other users of the interactive MapMess platform will understand that the owners of VIP markers are wealthy people. However, other users will not know the real names of the VIP markers’ owners, but they will be able to communicate with them through a built-in messenger. VIP markers can be purchased by investors or by authors of projects that are looking for investors and have already achieved a certain status. The VIP category marker allows to filter users on the basis of “financial well-being”.

The owner of the VIP category marker can set a restriction on receiving emails from other VIP marker owners only. Thus, s/he will be sure that the person sending a message in the marker is also a wealthy person.

The VIP category marker can be re-sold later.

Definitions

VIP Category

Section VIP — category in the MapMess ad classification, at the moment having the following properties:

• Markers posted in the VIP category are not affected by the time filter within their category. Meaning that when a user selects a VIP category in the filter, all the markers available in this category are going to be visible at the same time, regardless of the creation date of the marker. When “All Categories” is selected, VIP markers are visible according to the time filter setting. When anything but “All Categories” and “VIP” is selected, the VIP markers on the map are not visible.
• VIP markers can be posted by the administrator only.
• Markers in the VIP category use their own logos as icons. Logos are forwarded to the e-mail address of MapMess and adapted for use as icons.

Marker

Marker — the ad placed on the interactive MapMess map. Marker has the following properties:

• 1 — icon — icon in the size of 38x38 pixels, displayed on the map and in the upper left corner on the marker itself.
• 2 — name of the marker’s owner — displayed in the top left corner under the icon.

Formula calculating ratings has adjustable coefficients for each parameter. This formula is going to be hidden in the platform code in order to avoid artificial ratings.

Proposal for the commercialization (tokenization) of the VIP category

Introduction

At the moment, the markers of our strategic partners and team members’ companies, who showed a desire to place a marker on the map and sent their company’s logo, were placed free of charge in the VIP category. These markers will be permanently placed on the map, unless their companies request these markers to be removed. Marker’s categories can be changed at the discretion of administration.

I suggest, starting December 1, to introduce paid placement of markers in the VIP category as a part of the tokenization testing.

Conditions for placing markers in the VIP section

During the tokenization testing phase, markers in the VIP section are placed on the following conditions:

Payment currency: crypto-tokens:

• Ethereum
• MessCoin
• Alternative Coins

The cost of placing one marker in the VIP category (prices are valid until January 31, 2018):

• 0.1 Ethereum for an annual placement (or 0.01 for a monthly placement)
• 0.1 MessCoin for an annual placement (or 0.01 for a monthly placement)

Bonuses to the buyer when purchasing a marker in the VIP category before January 1, 2018

• When paying for a marker in the VIP category with Eth coins for an annual placement, the buyer receives 0.1 MessCoin as a gift. MessCoin can be kept by a buyer or used to purchase one more marker in the VIP category.
• When paying for each marker in the VIP category prior to January 1, 2018, the buyer receives additional 100 points to the value of his/her rating. Rating is calculated using the following conversion: 10,000 points of rating = 1 MessCoin.
• When paying for the annual placement of the marker in the VIP category, the buyer receives an additional placement for 4 years free of charge. That is, the placement is valid for a total duration of 5 years.
• VIP buyer gets a free membership in the private MapMess club. This membership provides the following benefits: discounts in partners’ businesses, the right to participate in closed meetings of the club members, participation in the drawing for free tickets for offsite corporate events at the best resorts in the world (description of the club to be developed)

Term of marker placement

Markers in the VIP category are placed for a period of 1 month to a year, depending on the term chosen by a buyer.
Markers placed and paid for before January 1, 2018 for a period of one year, are placed for a period of 5 years as a bonus.

Additional conditions

The user can edit the marker’s text and change the photo unlimited number of times. Markers placed before January 1, 2018 are allowed to be relocated to any place on the map within the original country of placement and to change the icon of the marker no more than once a month and no more than 10 times for the entire duration of placement.

The sequence of marker’s sales in the VIP category

Placement of markers in the VIP category is carried out through VIP Representatives of MapMess. VIP representative places a “marker sales terminal” in the Contact Us category. An example of the “marker sales terminal” is: https://mapmess.com/marker/4194.

The “marker sales terminal” specifies the conditions and the instructions for the payment for the marker in the VIP category and indicates the Ethereum wallet address where the funds should be transferred to. Each VIP Representative receives tokens to his/her wallet and then sends the tokens minus his/her commission to the central wallet. The commission percentage is determined with each VIP Representative individually and is a function of local conditions. Each VIP representative can only sell VIP category markers in his/her own region.

A buyer willing to place a marker in the VIP category transfers tokens to the VIP Representative’s wallet indicated in the VIP Representative marker.

VIP Representative Marker

After that, the buyer places his/her marker in any category, writes the necessary text and uploads a photo. Logo to be used on this marker should be e-mailed to the marketing department of MapMess. When a regional VIP representative confirms a payment, the MapMess administrator attaches the buyer’s logo as an icon and transfers the marker to the VIP section.

VIP Representative’s commission

The commission of the VIP representative is negotiated with each representative separately, depending on the efforts and conditions for attracting customers, advertising volumes, the size of the region and other parameters. The first representative to sign up a representation agreement with MapMess, will receive a commission of up to 80% for the first year. That is, 80% of the collected funds the representative will keep to him/herself.

Limitations of VIP category

Since the markers in the VIP category are visible without the time filter, their number in the VIP zone will be limited in each region and in each square of the map. A specific number of VIP markers will be determined as the work progresses. In the case of a huge demand for VIP markers, the cost of placing a marker will increase. In addition, new markers will only be placed when a previously placed marker either expires or not paid for in time. Bonuses are valid for no more than 3 active markers, paid for from the same wallet and placed from the same MapMess account.

Refund policy

Within one three month of payment, a user can request a refund in the amount of the original payment minus the commission for transfer. Besides the commission for transfer, no other fines or deductions will be withheld. In the case of payment refusal, the user cannot post another VIP marker from the same account. User rating will be decreased by the number of previously added points for placing a marker in the VIP category.
