For now you should start to see some of the crypto rewards we are giving our members – they will appear in your profile menu under Earnings

General crypto details.
Our crypto currency is still in development but we can tell you it will be used to reward everyone who contributes, helps with and shares our platform.

It is meant as a reward for members. Once it is publicly tradable we will eventually allow members to withdraw their tokens at which point they can sell them or store them elsewhere if they prefer.

We will also be offering staking and rewards for those who leave their tokens in place on the platform.

Our development plans include using our crypto currency as:

• a reward system to say thanks to all our wonderful members for everything they do
• a member voting system giving members a much greater say in the future of the platform
• a blockchain driven licensing system to help track and protect music sales globally

We will keep our members informed as new developments happen.

Our crypto currency is still in development but we can tell you it will be used to reward everyone who contributes, helps with and shares our platform.

It is meant as a reward for members. After it becomes publicly tradable we will allow members to withdraw their tokens at which point they can sell them or store them elsewhere if they prefer.

We will also be offering staking and further rewards for those who leave their tokens in place on the platform.

Our key crypto development plans include using our crypto currency as:

• a reward system to say thanks to all our wonderful members for everything they do
• a member voting system giving members a much greater say in the future of the platform
• a blockchain driven licensing system to use a transparent unbreakable ledger to track and protect music sales globally, within Go To Hear products and beyond them.

We will keep our members informed as these new developments are sent live.

For security reason, to withdraw funds currently you will need to make a manual request.

Notes:
1:  We aim to process all withdrawals within 24 hrs but in busy periods this may take longer.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

2: To minimise the flat fee of withdrawals via Paypal it is best to withdraw in as few transactions as possible.
We can advise further on this if required.

We are currently using Paypal as our primary payment processor so our fees are directly in line with their quoted fees for business transfers.

a) we will be adding other payment processors soon.
b) we intend to have the lowest fees in the industry, along with the highest payments this will be good for all members.
c) Our ambition is simple, we want to help all our members earn as much as they possibly can from their involvement in the music industry.

Note:  Payment processing fees are subject to change by Paypal and are not under our control.  We simply pass on the fees directly and do not profit from this process what so ever, in fact we personally charge nothing for our part in the process.

You can see details of your earnings on your dashboard 

Spending can include:  Music streaming payments (all members), music purchases (all members), tips (all members).

You can also find information about the money (USD $) you’ve earned on the funds page.
You can find information about the crypto rewards (GTHC tokens) you’ve earned on the funds crypto page.

Note:  This funds page includes all the money you’ve added, your income and spending on the platform and a funds balance.

It’s really simple to sign others up – later on you’ll get rewarded for doing so.

Just find some content you like and promote it using the share buttons on the site.

Share

You can use these buttons to share/promote articles, music, playlists, members etc.

• This will create a unique link to this content which tracks who visits via this link and when they sign up.
• Just create the link and share it anywhere – we do the rest.
• You’ll be able to see all the things you promote and how successful they are in your dashboard

Our system automatically – protects music, tracks shares and divides affiliate rewards between the member who creates the music/content and the member who shares the content.

Absolutely – yes.

If you promote someone else’s Go To Hear content (including their music, blogs/articles, member page etc.) and someone follows the link you created and then signs up you, then you will get a share of the sign up reward (see note below).

The person who created the content gets a share of the reward too.

If you share content that YOU created then you get all the reward, as you are both the creator and the sharer.

Our system rewards creators and sharers equally – so everyone wins – and everyone is rewarded for doing what they are good at.

NOTE: During our key growth phases members will earn our crypto currency (GTH) for all sign ups that are attributed to their account.
Eventually the platform will have dispensed all of it’s reward tokens, at which point future reward mechanisms may be used or we may offer affiliate rewards paid in US Dollars ($).
It is our intention that at this point our crypto voting system will enable members to vote on how the reward system evolves.  Go To Hear isn’t a platform run by oligarchs it is an eco-system designed to transition towards a blockchain protocol offering transparent decision making by it’s members.

Best of all the content you share doesn’t even have to belong to you.

We think the pressure to give music away totally undermines artist revenues.
It’s great for platforms who want to profit from artists by giving away millions of tracks for $10 per month, but we think your art is worth more than that.

Members/non-members who try to copy your content/music to use elsewhere will be stopped by our encrypted protection system.
This means your music can only be shared by using our share creation technology – the links created by this mean anyone who clicks on a link to your content anywhere on the web will be brought back to your content on Go To Hear.
If they aren’t already a member then when they sign up as a platform member they will be attributed to you as one of your affiliates – so it’s you who makes the money not people attempting to illegally copy and use your music.

This technology is designed specifically to protect artists and other content creators to ensure that the people who create the content always get the reward for their work.
