Fantasybit Crypto Token Sale Target Date May 1
Sept 2017 NFL Week1Protoblock 2017 Projections Game/Fantasybit Skill mining and Distribution
Milestone: Full P2P Distributed Network + Proof-of-Skill consensus Launch
Blockchain Code Open Sourced
Season5 - 2018Milestone: Fantasybit Transfer Transaction - 3rd party exchanges ( full compliance with US Laws and regulations)
Milestone: Full Proof-of-Skill UTXO State
Full Nodes Code Open Sourced
Protoblock Innovation- NFL Players Mint ƑɃ by playing Football
- 1 Fantasypoint == 100 Fantasybits
- Distributed to "Fantastynames" with most accurate Projection for that player - Fantasy Football Skill Required
- Provides both Randomness and well known public Game Result Data
Virgin Coins are both ƑɃ and ƑɃskill
- ƑɃskill is always tied to coinbase tx address (not transferable)
- Transfer tx will send only ƑɃ, which is then detached from ƑɃskill.
- Fantasyname for ƑɃskill ~ Wallet Address for ƑɃ
- Projection TX for ƑɃskill ~ Transfer TX for ƑɃ
- State Transitions for ƑɃskill ~ UTXO State for ƑɃ
Why Token Sale?- Wider Distribution of ƑɃskill
- Token buyers more technical and will run stronger full nodes then average Fantasy Football Players
- Aligns incentives for a strong stable coin
Which Tokens are for Sale?- FantasyAgents' allocation of tokens from Season1 will be for sale.
- Distributed Engineered Autonomous (DEA) Agents, as described in our white paper, are responsible for data and timestamps.
- The default agent, "FantasyAgent" is our "satoshi".
We believe that value from blockchain comes by aligning incentives for all parties. When it comes to developent and design we find pragmatic and practical solutions to difficult problems.
Development- JayBNY wrote the white paper and most of the code.
- Thousands of lines of C++/QT code will be open sourced.
- We are open to Ethereum, Bitshares, Factom, CounterParty or NXT Assets for token sale accounting.
Proof-of-Skill DetailsWe will use a very similar algorithm to NXT POS "forging" for our block signer selection algorithm. The fact that ƑɃ
skill is non transferable solves the problem of "stake grinding". We use a kind of "slasher" technique to solve the "nothing-at-stake" problems with POS.
Our Proof-of-Skill solves POS issues and has been seen in other papers and designs with different names such as:
- Bergstake
- Virtual perpetual Mining Rig
- Proof-of-Proof-of-Work
Bounties- NAT
- p2p distributed network (clone)
- Token sale asset and wallet
- Coin design and UTXO with multisig and Atomic bitcoin operations
- Fantasyname Anti-sybil cost structure.
How to get involvedWe are only a couple of devs and looking to build a true distributed community. We need your help! please come chat with us in out Slack (
link) to discuss.
Opportunity
Fantasy Football is a 12 billion dollar revenue industry and legal in most of the US. We plan on staying the App stores and working with regulator to comply with all US laws.
We will follow up with an ANN in February with more details on Token sale.
