Matchpool: Fall In Love with the Blockchain
Was your valentine’s day a bit of a disappointment?
Well lucky for you it’s 2017 and the time has come to introduce the immutability of the blockchain to matchmaking and dating apps.
There is a new blockchain startup for decentralized dating and matchmaking called Matchpool.
I think this is such a cool way to bring blockchain tech and crypto currency to the masses.
The ICO for Matchpool begins on March 25 and will last for 28 days. Mark your calendar so you have the chance to be a bit of a venture capitalist on this one.
Here’s the low down from bitcointalk
Matchpool uses group dynamics in order to help as many participants as possible to find love. It can also be used as a more generic platform for any kind of paid membership community, which can clearly define two sides of a desired interaction or market.
Matchpool users will divide into two catagories – joiners and hosts. Joiners who wish to enter a pool of their choice, will have to pay the pool's requisite entry fee, which will be defined at the creation of that Pool by the Pool's Host.
In addition to this one-time registration fee, a monthly membership fee will be paid to the Pool.
All payments will be held in an Ether based smart contract and will be processed using Matchpool's network own tokens, Guppies (GUP).
Users can also play the role of hosts and matchmakers. The host is the one who opens a custom Pool and gets dividends from its revenues. Matchmakers can propose matches between two other joiners who they believe would be good partners. Those two joiners are then notified and if they both accept, the event is added to their public notebook, and the matchmaker get rewarded.
Both the host of the pool and its matchmakers are entitled to shares of the pools subscription and monthly fees, paid with the guppies token
Also, the first 200,000 Users will get rewarded with GUPs
They’ve also opened up the possibilities for dapplets. These are basically add-ons created by developers who want add to the Matchpool protocol. One example would be a dapplet that implements “Tinder” functionality, so users can swipe through other users. If one of their apps creates a match, then the dapplet developers are rewarded similarly to Matchmakers.
Why hasn't @steemit hired you (or any other woman) as their full time spokesperson?
Dash has Amanda, Waves has Grace and Steemit has been billed as the cryptocurrency with the largest female userbase.
Afaik, Steem has yet to have a female representative on an official basis speak for them. If that is not factual, please correct me.
I'm not making some political statement about hiring women, I simply think it's common sense marketing wise, for a platform claiming to have (my perception) the largest female userbase, to actually hire a female to market their product; at least a little. ;)
Because they're clueless about marketing.

I would have to echo the comment @thecryptofiend left up on top of the list though, but the video is indeed very well done. Thanks for sharing @heiditravels and please let me know if there is an advantage over what is actually available on the net or otherwise. Not that I am looking for anyone personally, but it would still be interesting to know... Are you underlining the idea that everyone as a matchmaker potential could make money for introducing successful relationship building?
Thanks a bunch, as always, keep your smile and namaste :)
Interesting. I don't see the advantage of matchmaking on a blockchain though. Seems a bit pointless. Great video though:)
I dunno.. I thought it was a pretty cool idea to experiment with a while back...
MrWang Wants A Girlfriend
We just need a gender option on our profiles and an app that works like tinder for steemit users and we're good to go. :D
This is true..
btw, My dating application is still active...
..just saying :/
Try linking your thread on a relevant subreddit, we don't have a huge userbase yet, I'm afraid :p
I got Robyneggs waiting to get on this... and my post karma on reddit is no bueno ;)
There is no advantage to doing it on a blockchain though.
If somebody gets stood up on a date... "what happen?"
"oo, I didn't think it was foreallz..."
pulls out phone and points...
"It's on the blockchain... yea, it's forrealz"
Lol I didn't think of that!
IT'S ON THE BLOCKCHAIN YOU JERK... xD
I think it's cool that it gives more people the opportunity to make money in an alternative way (matchmakers) And if you're successful you can prove it and vice versa if you're single and wanted to verify the validity or skills of other matchmakers.
I understand but I don't think there is any advantage that this would have over regular dating apps. I will be interested to see if it succeeds.
This guy will have a harder time hacking the block-chain:
lmao
hahahhaha!!
good job
Downvoted in disagreement with rewards created by concentrated whale voting
I see where you coming from on this one smooth.. but look at the engagement.. that's where the reward is deserving.. it produced engagement
Thanks for the article, Heidi! Looks interesting!
Haha I read GPU's first and was like "wut? why?". :D
lol.. cuz they reaching for target demographic
Every match has to bring the GPU's with them too, if its NVidia x AMD its an instant no-go. :P
LMAO
But Heidi you know ur all I want baby hehe
i think thats an awsome idee
Thanks for sharing this :) Btw join us if you like the SteemitWomenPower movement :) https://steemit.com/steemitwomenpower/@karaj/steemitwomenpower-who-has-woman-power-instead-of-steem-power

I am still waiting for a company, which will start build houses from blockchain. Maybe even yellow blockchain :)
