  "text": "Hey HN! My name is Junqueror, and want share with you a project I&#x27;ve been working on the last months.<p>I am a software developer, I build my own apps, but I have always had problems in the marketing side.<p>Some time ago I struggled with affiliation marketing.<p>I thought that blockchain characteristics (transparency, security, reliability, payments) can really help to improve the weaknesses of current affiliation and referral systems:\n - program restrictions and conditions\n - unreliable tracking and attribution\n - hidden actions\n - commission rates\n - bad incentives\n - payment delays\n - platform commissions\n - contractual terms\n - fraudulent activities<p>So I&#x27;m building BreadCrumbs, a decentralized platform dedicated to the promotion of products wand services with crypto rewards and using blockchain as a tracking system<p>Not only improves deficiencies of affiliate and referral marketing, but also opens it yo anyone in the crypto space.<p>I would like to hear feedback and know what do you think about it.<p>- Do you think that blockchain and crypto can add value and improve traditional systems?\n- Is it interesting for crypto business and crypto users?\n- Does the &quot;Share To Earn&quot; make sense? Well, it already existed, but improved and moved to crypto",
