What is Syntropy?
Syntropy is a web 3.0 focused company that has created ‘an overlay’ to the internet. You can think of it like a filter between your connected device (mobile, cell, laptop, any internet-of-things device, etc) and the internet, serving three purposes:

Syntropy is a service that transfers data. So, let’s think in terms of gigabytes and also take William Nortons’s guide of $0.02 per GB of data being the sweet spot of relay cost to operators. Let’s use this to estimate the cost of adopting DARP for different apps.

In April 2020, 36M hours were streamed on #Netflix. Six hours of viewing = approx 1GB of data. Annually we might say that Netflix streams 12 * 36M hours, so 432M hours / 6 = 72M GB of data. At $0.02 per GB that works out at an annual spend of $1.4M USD on $Noia

If #Netflix were to charge 2.5x, or $0.50 it may not have a significant effect on viewing numbers (I’m assuming viewers price elasticity is quite elastic, probably up to 20% changes but would welcome input on this). Plus it would get marketed to users as a premium upgrade.

The networked game #CounterStrike (CS:GO) uses approximately 200MB (generally speaking) of data per hour of gameplay. There are approximately 700,000 daily users, averaging around 6 hours of gameplay per week, so 1200MB per user per week.

So, it would be wise to consider those points when pricing in new contracts or when looking to see if $Noia is overpriced or underpriced.
For example, if they sign #Amazon, it’s probably not smart to immediately consider that to be a $20M annual value right off the bat.

What risks do Syntropy face as a business:
Operators could decide that they don’t need all three aspects of the DARP system and seek out or build a cheaper alternative that meets just the requirements they need, e.g. the speed of a mesh network, without the encryption.

Users could decide they don’t want to pay anything extra for reduced lag, perhaps it’s not a big issue for them in many cases.
It could fail on a massive scale for a tier 1 operator, for whatever reason, and then become an off-putting proposition to other tier 1 operators.

Some crucial Syntropy team members could leave the team, causing internal chaos.
Governments could try to interfere either directly or indirectly, e.g. A senior Govt. official takes a dislike to everything being fully encrypted and creates problems for encryption businesses

@elonmusk could decide to be anti-Syntropy for some reason. Or perhaps you’d like a seat at the table, Elon, with like-minded geniuses?

Question:
In terms of the flow of $Noia I am wondering: Where do the $Noia tokens go when they have been used / spent by an operator? Do they go back into Syntropy’s personal supply to be resold again?

Is this the flow?
Exchange > Operators > Syntropy > Operators > Syntropy > Operators? Is that how Syntropy will continue to make money as a business themselves?

In that case Syntropy would accumulate $Noia at no cost (apart from team / operational expenses) and then resell them for market value. So, token investors will get to sell once, Syntropy get to sell repeatedly without purchasing any themselves?

Of course, token holders can always buy in over and over too but the marginal $ gain will be lower than Syntropy’s.
(I expect I am probably wrong about this aspect of the tokenomics. Perhaps @jsimanaviciusmay may be able to clarify the facts here).

What about Staking?
Firstly, what is staking?
Staking is a way to support the token infrastructure as well as provide security and transaction confirmations to it. Stakers are rewarded with an interest bearing account (In crypto it tends to be 10 - 20% APR).

The Syntropy Staking System - Street Gang Model
The Syntropy staking system is made up of Validators and Nominators. I like to think of it as a street gang. Here’s how it works:

The gang leader (Validator) has loads of $Noia tokens and he (or she) walks around his neighbourhood and recruits gang members (Nominators) who hold smaller amounts of $Noia Tokens.

He incentivises them to join his gang, mostly in the form of being a reliable gang leader who won’t screw them over. (Technically, he has really solid infrastructure).

So, collectively they form a gang and they all pool their $Noia tokens together. This pool of tokens will serve as a form of security to the Syntropy network, and will also support the validation of transactions over the network.

In return, Syntropy will pay out an annual interest rate (paid monthly) to each gang leader and gang member. The gang leader gets a bigger cut for organising and running the gang and may charge you a small additional fee too.

If Syntropy have 25% of $Noia total supply staked, the gang leaders (Validators) will be paid 25% APR on their staked $Noia and the gang members (Nominators) will be paid 15% APR on their staked $Noia. There are a few caveats but that is the general gist.

Are there any risks?
Yes. The gang leader (Validator) could validate transactions incorrectly, or not meet tech requirements, in which case he will be punished by Syntropy with a penalty paid in the form of some percentage of the total amount of $Noia staked by the gang.

So, basically if your gang leader does something stupid, or his tech fails, you will have some amount of $Noia removed from your balance at the end of the month. So, if you decide to stake, choose your gang leader wisely.

Staking rules:
To be a validator you need to stake a min of 20k $Noia, and a max of 200k. There will be 500 validator slots available.
To be a nominator you need to stake a min of 100 $Noia and a max of 100k. Unlimited slots available up to the full 25% of total supply.

Validators and nominators will also earn a share of all transaction fees, or a discount on transactions, but the amounts are still to be determined, so let’s leave that aside for the moment.

I see this team and project as being one of the most interesting and professional in the whole crypto world. Considering the scope of the project and the focus on serving enterprise customers, I would expect the roadmap to be something like this:

Staking system to be proven to be working effectively
The mesh network / DAO is proven to be working efficiently.
Announcement of some partners, gradually at first and over the course of years (read: slowly). Enterprise sales and integrations take a long long time.

Listing on better exchanges. I don’t see any need for new exchanges before major partners are announced and mainnet is running at full throttle. In fact, the longer this period of limited exchanges continues, the better price you’ll be able to accumulate $Noia.

I see $Noia as an excellent mid term and long term investment. Syntropy is unusually attractive in that I find it attractive financially and support it ideologically.
(@souljaboy, here is the recommendation you asked for).
