Isracoin Phase-II Staggered Release Model
The Isracoin Staggered Release Model (ISRM) was created to allow for a smooth distribution of coins to recipients nation-wide in a way that benefits both the developing Isracoin economic network and the market it relies on for stability and buying power.
Rationale:The process of distributing Isracoins to the Israeli public – the “Airdrop” – is set to begin soon. This will lead to a significant increase in the existing supply of available coins. As we’ve seen and learned from previous national-coin airdrops, this can put a strain on the ecosystem of the coin. It is a case of the Tragedy of the Commons, as this move often immediately crashes the market value, with receivers rushing to sell their coins before everyone else does, and the market, anticipating this move, panics and sells as well.
The ISRM aims to solve this problem by distributing the coins over a long period of time and by limiting the daily released amount to correspond with mining rewards. By staggering the release so, we aim to increase the value of the Isracoin network without jeopardizing the Isracoin market. Metcalf’s Law suggests that the value of such a network grows in a polynomial manner, meaning that it is proportional to the number of its participants squared. As each participant – Israeli citizen – receives only a portion of his coins each week, using them to participate in the rapidly growing Isracoin network becomes a more lucrative choice than simply selling them on the market.
The Model:- The distribution will proceed in four phases, each lasting 4 months, with the last continuing until every eligible person has received his coins.
- Each phase will be marked by a “mining multiple” – a maximum amount of coins that can be distributed daily, tied to the Isracoin daily total mining reward. This increase in available supply provides less coins to more people than mining does, also putting them directly in their smartphones, ready for use.
- The mining multiple will increase with each phase. With the launch of additional projects for the maintenance and growth of the network, it will be able to sustain more concurrent receivers.
- Each person will receive 10 coins every week for 3 months for a total of 100 coins. The amount of people receiving coins concurrently is capped by the maximum amount of coins as determined by the mining multiple.
- Note: the mining multiple sets a cap – the maximum amount of coins that may be distributed each day. We predict that this number will not be reached frequently.
The Numbers:Phase Duration: 4 months
Current Daily Total Isracoin Mining Reward: 72,000 coins
Mining Multiple for phases 1 - 4: x4, x7, x10, x10
Daily Maximum Distributed Reward (Daily Mining * Multiple): 288,000, 504,000, 720,000, 720,000 coins
Weekly Maximum Amount of Reward Recipients: 201,600, 352,800, 504,000 people
A look to the Future...The Isracoin national coin allocation will proceed slowly and in a staggered manner, putting coins in the hands of more people than allocation by way of mining. This will greatly increase the amount of users and the actual value of the network while significantly increasing market stability.
We invite everyone who has been participating and following Isracoin to get more involved and take part in making history.
