[COMMUNITY OPINIONS]
Presearch is a community project:
built for the community, by the community.
The power of centralization lies in the monopoly, which guarantees maximized profits and control. Decentralization however, is powered by the opposite: the unification of multiple distributed forces, the strength of the many - thousands of Davids worldwide against one Goliath. Decentralized projects are built upon a community of supporters and believers. For that reason, the Presearch Community is the true backbone of the Presearch project. But “who” are these members of the community? Basically, anyone who wants to join and support us is part of the community - Presearch does not discriminate. We believe in working together to make progress, stimulate growth and promote adoption - for the Presearch project, but also the entire crypto& blockchain space.
To give you some insight into the community we have collected community opinions: We asked Presearch Community members Irvine and Anders, who are very active in our Telegram chat, to answer a few questions and share their views.
Here’s what they have to say:
How and for how long have you been involved in the crypto space in general and do you support other crypto projects besides Presearch?
Irvine: How long, abt 3years. i have a portfolio of Crypto Projects, but not active in their comunities, 
Anders: I been in crypto for around 3-4 years and yes I support multiple crypto projects Presearch. Basic attention token. Nano. DeepOnion. Flash coin. There's my main interest ...
1)When and where did you first hear about Presearch, 2) what got you interested in this project and 3) what do you think distinguishes Presearch - why do you support this project instead of others?
Irvine: when,end of 3rd quater/begining of 4th quater last year(2017)_thats September-October.
Where,well the internet as i searched,lol,coz as i was researching blockchain,to me it appeared evolutionery to internet which was revolutionery,so i made a list of companies that pioneered internet and stood out.so as blockchain is evolutionery to what internet definition has been,therefore Blockchain based(decentralised) Projects,DAPPS,services& inovations will eventually replace centralised companies,so in my "list"_search,i met presearch,& it clearly stood out. As the centralised search engine companies,the -relay stick- goes to Presearch as it pioneers blockchain based-decentralised Search Space,without " violations" that majority centralised Search companies feed on. E.g, for those who use android devices,in settings-apps,then open any of them,the Permissions those apps have access to is Creepy,yet if u deny them,they stop functioning,lol,so its shoving it down people's throats,lol,thats messed up. Well Presearch doesnt collect that info,and one can customise,& I understand more is coming obviously, Thats Perfect for a search engine. Books have always been the greatest portal to information&other trajectories,even other ways of thinking&many more,but,internet is slowly replacing that,yet e existing providers,from ISP rates' exploiting costs(
Anders: I found the project back in the ico days can't remember exactly how I found it.. but after reading all info in the website and white paper I just knew this project was something I needed to help succeed.. then I started being active in the community and found some of the nicest people I have met in the crypto space so I feel right at home. .. my main reason for helping this project is there's nobody else doing anything like this and we really need something like presearch
What does community mean to you and how engaged are you with the Presearch community?
Irvine: Very 'well engaged',actually,,Thanx to Presearch community,my definition of community has evolved as i now have a beter appreciation of it.Here it is,community,See,involvement in the value addition,by use of the engine(in this case),contributions in the networks, eg, social;feedbacks, participations, actually being heard,your views,people's inputs being implimentented in addition to mere&related conversations,&connections of so unique individuals globally,is now my new definition of community:).
Anders: I love the Presearch community and I feel like am also pretty involved with the community.
Why do you believe in this project and where do you see it in the future?
Irvine: There is value in non violations of users' data,priceless;transparency,particitipation& engagement, by people(users),&the team,&credibility based on how timelines are met eg,according to the roadmap,or as promised, stated or planned,be it from the whitepaper,or as announced.Again Presearch is intended not to be blinkered,that is,if new better ways come up,technology-inovation-wise, right now particulary Blockchain, that can be backtested,and are a good addition/change,they can be implemented.The difference between trading,&invesitsting is otherwise timeframe,trading being shortterm,investing=longterm,this one i'm investing,swinging for the fence if u will,lol,doubling down,bit by bit from exchanges,(something i NEVER do unless first position is locked_guarantee so to say),yet with PRE im doubling down anyway,lol,why i'm HODLing this one:).So i see Presearch really deep in the future.
Anders: I believe in Presearch because there's nobody else doing the things Presearch do and in a world where pretty much all search engines steal your data and sell it too the highest bidder. So it's nice to know they try minimise the private data they use and pay us for our time .. it's a win win in my book. Like for example the brave browser are doing for content creators .. just combined them and you have a great PC experience.
What is the biggest perk about this project for you personally, what do you like most about Presearch?
Irvine: well i dont know what the definition of perk is right now,guese i should Presearch it,Lol,but i assume its the benefits,plus/positive,advantage&related.So i will start with an example&wil use google (as most are familiar with it),in eg,google's 20year span,how many of your queries or inquiries where responded to,i mean google has billions of users right,but really,&who do you know from google who has entertained any of your/anyone's queries or enquiries, how many of those were responded to,personally,:),"pratically",as if non of those inquiries/queries matter,so means u dont matter right?_like u just making iritatiing noise to them,lol. I understand there are good guys who work there,but sorry google,had to use u in this example,as otherwise everyone knows google:).In my 1year with Presearch project,(i'm not a Search/I.T specialist), but i understand building a Search Engine is no easy task,yet in that period i have known Presearch,these guys are not hiding,the community involvement/engagement,definitely is assuaring..Presearch is way easy to understand_clarity,in addition to the whens,whats,hows,whys, and related,other potentially good Cryto projects are yet to clarify most these.Other perks i would have to sumarise a lot of the above,which still will be very few of the list of many Presearch perks,and,ultimately,the PRE rewards as i search,(in this desert),i have long waited for the rain,Lol.
Anders: privacy no doubt.. and I love we get paid for our time online ....
Would you recommend Presearch to your best friend, and if yes, why?
Irvine: well thats easy,absolutely,in a heartbeat,i mean,why not,right,really,why not. Well if there is a boat to a way better place somewhere,1)i would NEED my friends there2)if they realise i knew about Presearch& dint tell them sooner,they'll kill me,Lol.So among my friends,i may be,actually "am", the specialist in the environment,so after months of following&reviewing Presearch,its absolutely safe for them to jump in. (Sigh),i almost snuck in my referral link,but, lets keep this one professional shall we,Lol.
Anders: yes and why is easy, everyone use there phone or PC to get online all of them use Google or DuckDuckGo but with Presearch they can get paid for it at the same time ...
Thank you, Irvine and Anders for your support and sharing your thoughts and views!
