At long last, we're excited to present to the bitcoinworld the release version of our
whitepaper, including our token sale that started November 1st,
10,000 ETH ($100,000 USD) raised in the first two minutes, 33,000 ETH raised so far. [

What is Arcade City?Arcade City is a
decentralized global community of peer-to-peer service providers and consumers. The core technical offering is an
Ethereum-based app for web, Android and iOS. Arcade City features an open ecosystem with forthcoming APIs to enable developers and entrepreneurs to easily create their own apps and service offerings as part of the Arcade City network.
Initial service offerings focus on the
ridesharing industry, with plans in motion for
peer-to-peer deliveries and
short-term home rentals.
Arcade City aims to reinvent the sharing economy by combining the power of blockchain technology, open-source development, platform cooperativism, and a decentralized 'swarm' organizational model open to all.

Join our slackResourcesHistoryWe've been banging on pots and pans
since January that we intended Arcade City to be the decentralized,
Ethereum-based answer to Uber.
In April we laid out our
multi-stage path to complete decentralization over time, then announced plans to submit a
DAO proposal ? oops! ? and just recently added a crew of
experienced Ethereum developers who've built a
functioning Ethereum ridesharing prototype in record time.
In the meantime we've made substantial progress 'on the ground' in cities all over the world, with our flagship ridesharing network in Austin giving tens of thousands of safe rides in a completely decentralized manner.
A hackathon, you say?Assuming our token sale sells out by the end of November, we'll be throwing an online hackathon open to any Ethereum developers, with a $100K USD value in prizes, payable in ETH or ARC.
We'll announce super final details about start and end dates, judges and such, after the sale, potentially as soon as the first week of November.
The basic idea of the first hackathon will be to build out the functionality described in the Arcade City Infrastructure section of the whitepaper:
the offers, disputes, guilds, referrals, reputation, and assurance systems, with a likely priority on the reputation system.
We intend to crowdsource the majority of our Ethereum development via multiple hackathons with everything open-source on GitHub.
