Loteo: Lottery needs a revolution


What is Loteo?
Loteo is a Digital Automated Lottery Platform that used blockchain and smart contracts to create a fully transparent lottery, where your chances are incomparably higher compared to conventional lottery.
Current issues
Lotteries, like any form of gambling, can be manipulated against its participants, despite the high
degree of scrutiny claimed by the organizers. Due to the high degree of centralization, organizers
wield a considerable amount of power that is liable to abuse due to the current lack of transparency
in lotteries.
Even without manipulation, lotteries are profitable for organizers, with many claiming a profit margin of up to 50% on ticket sales.
In the United States (U.S.), lotteries are subject to very differing state laws. There are 6 states,
including Nevada, that don’t allow lotteries. On the other hand, the states that do allow lotteries
maintain a monopoly on the practice.
Similarly, across the world, there are many state or national lotteries, organized by governments who use lotteries as an additional source of income. Some governments, including those of Brazil and Germany, have a legally-secured monopoly on lottery operations. However, other governments, such as those of Turkey, India and Indonesia, have banned the practice, citing moral or religious grounds.
Although various countries differ greatly in their approach to lotteries, this form of gambling is globally popular. The emergence of digital lotteries has tapped into the large global market of customers who live in countries with strict legislation. However, access to online lotteries is often restricted with requirements for personal information or the need for a bank account.


The Loteo solution
LOTEO is a fully automated lottery platform that uses blockchain and smart contracts to create a
fully transparent lottery, where your chances are incomparably higher compared to conventional
lotteries. There are several problems with ”classic” style lotteries, that we’ve addressed with LOTEO.
  • Winning chance
Unlike conventional lotteries in which you bet against an unknown number of drawn numbers10, in LOTEO you only bet against other purchased tickets, an amount that is several thousand times smaller than the number of potential winning combinations in standard lotteries. Thanks to the blockchain, the system is transparent and you can track all transactions. You have a chance to win everytime the lottery takes place as you are only betting against a certain number of participants and there is winner by every drawing.
  • Transparency
All transactions and prizes are viewable on the blockchain at all times.
  • Trust
By being governed by smart contracts rather than governments or private individuals, the drawing
process becomes automated.
There are many problems with current blockchain-based digital gambling platforms. They are often
too complicated, suited only for crypto enthusiasts, offering an unsophisticated design that is neither
attractive nor user friendly

ADVANTAGES
  • Chances to Win
Chances to win are much higher than in conventional lotteries because of our mechanism.
  • Trustworthy
By being governed by smart contracts rather than governments or private individuals, the drawing process becomes automated and trustless.
  • Transparency
Thanks to blockchain technology and using cryptocurrencies for lottery entry, LOTEO is 100% transparent and all transaction as well as prize splits can be viewed at all times, instead of traditional lotteries, where you don't know the number of attendees, prize amount, nor even if its fair nor manipulated, as there is central authority.
  • Winner every drawing
Unlike in classic lottery, where you need to tip right combination of numbers and the winner is once/year.
  • Biggest slice for the winner
LOTEO feels a strong need to provide the best user experience, that our customer, especially non crypto familiar, are used to, that's why there will be integration of credit card payments as well as mobile message payments.
  • Speed
Thanks to blockchain technology and cryptocurrency usage, Loteo is incomparably faster than traditional lotteries.

Crypto Market Ads: Democratize Crypto Advertising & Marketing


Crypto Market Ads (CMA), is a new marketplace which solves all problems related to crypto advertising and marketing by connecting crypto market publishers and advertisers under a single platform. Due to free market conditions, publishers will have a healthy competition which will inuence them to keep prices as low and competitive as possible to attract advertisers. Publishers will also get higher demands from advertisers since they are more affordable and quickly available through the CMA marketplace for new advertising or marketing campaigns.
Advertisers can signicantly reduce advertising and marketing costs by utilizing the CMA marketplace. They will be able to launch big advertising and marketing campaigns towards the entire crypto community and secure themselves against scam or fraud. They can also use the built-in chat system to directly negotiate with CMA publishers and get unique terms and prices.

PROBLEMS
  • Crypto ads getting banned

High volumes of crypto project and ICO advertising in 2017 led to a lot of scams and fraudulent practices. As a result, many big corporations decided to ban ads related to the crypto market on their platforms.
  • Crypto advertising is expensive

Even today, many projects pay up to 10 times more for the advertising of their ICO or any other crypto project as compared to traditional markets. Publishers who have a lot of trafc are taking advantage of the crypto gold rush, which leads to unfair market practices since advertisers have no options other than to utilize what is being offered by publishers.
  • Crypto marketing is overpriced

Many agencies and professionals appeared when the crypto gold rush of 2017 started. They saw an opportunity to earn a lot of money by offering marketing services which would have cost much less for any other market.
  • Hard to find influencers and publishers

The crypto market is very chaotic, and newcomers find it difficult to find the right people for promoting their ICO or crypto projects.

  • Lack of escrow and a lot of scams

The market is also rife with scams and fraudulent practices. Many crypto projects are getting scammed by unprofessional marketing service providers. A lot of money is lost through these unprofessional or fraudulent/fake channels. There are many scammers who pretend to be inuencers, and scam crypto companies by offering “good” deals.


THE SOLUTION

Considering all these challenges, the market needs a platform to bring crypto market bounty hunters,
inuencers and publishers together. This can be a platform for anyone who wants to:
  • Promote or offer marketing services
  • Provide consultancy services
  • Purchase services related to existing crypto projects or new ICOs
One of the best solutions is a secure, healthy and active marketplace which has many earning
opportunities for the entire crypto market. People in this market need good earnings from their content, websites, forum activity, videos, webinars, email campaigns and many other related services. Currently, there is no such platform for them to offer their advertising and marketing services.
Advertisers need to nd all service providers in one place for competitive and reasonable market prices. This way, their marketing teams can outsource almost every aspect of marketing to inuencers,
professionals, bounty hunters and other related service providers in a seamless fashion. They will also
be able to negotiate with publishers and get customized deals according to their needs.
This solution will help the entire crypto market become self-sustainable, rather than relying on big
corporations which do not support this new paradigm shift. The crypto market is big enough to evolve by itself without having mainstream publishers supporting it.

AhrvoDEEX - Future of Brokerage Transactions


AhrvoDEEX is a peer-to-peer decentralized equity exchange that enables profitable trading by using multifactor ranking systems and deep learning algorithms that create smart equity scores and price targets to streamline the trading process.

PROBLEM
Clearinghouses and other intermediaries cost the brokerage industry billions of dollars a year, creating bottlenecks that limit order-matching transparency and settlement speed. Wall Street lacks objectivity and often produces inaccurate equity ratings and price targets. For example, in 2017 only 5% of the 500 S&P companies were rated ‘sell’. This leaves investors and traders without a roadmap to find stocks that are suitable for investment. A study conducted in 2016 found that from 1981 to 2016 the top 10 percent of stocks analysts were most bullish (optimistic) about generally performed worse than the 10 percent of stocks analyst were bearish (pessimistic) about. In fact, an investor who bought stocks analysts were bearish on over that time period would have gained 15% in excess return over the following year relative to the stocks analysts were bullish on.

AHRVODEEX SOLUTION
AhrvoDEEX is a peer-to-peer decentralized equity exchange that enables profitable trading by using multifactor ranking systems and deep learning algorithms to create smart equity scores and price targets that streamline the decision-making process. Ahrvo DEEX transaction speed is comparable to centralized exchanges and much faster than Bitcoin and Ethereum. Centralized exchanges settle in 1 to 3 seconds. Ethereum DEX transactions take ~3 minutes. Bitcoin transactions take 10 minutes to settle but can often take longer. Transactions on AhrvoDEEX settle in ~3 to 5 seconds. Ahrvo’s proprietary equity scoring model looks at over 4 dozen subfactors that are highly correlated with price performance, subsequently grouping them into four main factors. For the past ten years, our system has consistently outperformed the stock market (benchmark Russell 3000 w/dividends).

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

  • Patent Protection Ahrvo is building the first blockchain-based decentralized equity exchanged powered by artificial intelligence. Over the past two years, Ahrvo’s management team has garnered the necessary protection for its growing suite of investing and trading solutions. Ahrvo has filed two provisional patents (March 2017/November 2018) and one utility patent (March 2018). Pending patents cover existing and upcoming products and features that are under-development or slated for release. In addition, native aspects of the network's protocol and integration of multifactor ranking systems and neural networks into a peer-to-peer equity exchange are covered.
  • Traditional Broker Experience An advantage of being a traditional broker instead of a tokenized exchange is the ability to custody and onboard traditional equities. Tokenized platforms frequently state, “we are only a software firm and do not participate in regulated activities such as custodial or clearing services, order execution, investment advice, asset management, and other such financial services.” We believe this is to their detriment. Ahrvo’s custodian platform will offer front and back office services for firms. By focusing on a larger market
  • Competent Blockchain Developers Ahrvo is working with a seasoned team of blockchain developers. The development firm is CMMI Level 3 and ISO 9001: 2015 certified. In total, we have access to a team of 35 blockchain developers but will be working with a team of 5-7 developers initially. Their experience includes: launching public and private blockchain by forking, creating native coins, changing specifications like reward logic, inflation rate, etc., and configuring mining tools.
  • Infrastructure Current market participants (mainly Ravencoin and Equibit) are forks of Bitcoin. We view this as a structural impediment given the nature of the industry (high transaction volume). The consensus protocol of their blockchains is Proof of Work (POW). In POW, miners require a lot of energy to validate transactions. The implicit and explicit cost associated with bitcoin-based platforms has become apparent when transaction volumes rise with the price of the underlying cryptocurrency.
