Intro

Is this announcing the end of Google's dominance?

I signed up lately for Presearch Beta testing and it's just awesome! This is aiming to get a share of Google's monopoly (and hopefully, replace it as our default search engine). We all know by today Google's methods and how they made it to the top while their users never got rewarded, meanwhile they are selling our personal data and targeting us with ads.
This era should be over soon!

Some similar projects/competitors (Bitclave, Nebulas) are ongoing but none of them has a beta platform already.

How it works

Your search requests are saved to the Blockchain and are used to know your preferences and send you targeted ads. Until now, that's pretty much the same way Google works...

The only difference here is that you get rewarded directly with PRE coins in your account. These coins can be withdrawn/traded (Will be announced during Q2) or be redeemed as directed ads (the same way you would do using Google's paid advertisement service)

So the more users, the better it would be as advertisers would be attracted to buy targeted ads on this platform and thus raising the coin's market value. Again the same way Google did to reach today's status.

Roadmap

Beta Program

IMPORTANT NOTE : Presearch is in BETA and has not yet deployed its own search engine and is more like a search tool for now. It's also important to know that's it's still centralized for now and will move to a decentralized state in Q3.

For those interested in their White Paper https://www.presearch.io/uploads/WhitePaper.pdf

If you want to sign up for Beta : https://www.presearch.io/#beta

Once all set - And don't forget 2FA setup is always a good idea - You are presented with a page like this one:

As you can see above, you can search in all your favorite websites and platforms. You can "Customize" your search engine display and suggest the addition of other resources.

Presearch (Beta) is basically an index of lots of websites and search engines. You can look at the full list by category:

So far, you receive 0.25 PRE/search (right now, 1 PRE= 0.2$) and you can go up to 8 PRE tokens per day.

Advantages

1- You get paid when you search
2- Your personal data is not sold, but you get targeted ads based on your search requests
3- Open-Source : No secrecy, no banning (As google and FB have announced their ban on cryptocurrency ads, all of them will have to move somewhere..., and it's the only one working as of now)
4-Just for the sake of dethroning Evilcorp and jumping into the next generation Internet!
