After a fast reading of your WP, I think the theory behind the concept is interesting, but...

You talk a lot about servers and possible attacks against servers. So this idea of yours is more like a semi-centralized one, right? Its not fully decentralized P2P.
Correct, the technology behind the insurance is semi-centralized.
But the insurance it provides is fully P2P.  One pays directly to their peers and gets paid the same way. 
And no attack on the server can result in loss of users' funds.

And BTW, when dealing with Insurance you deal with high risks, how do you intend to face that risks using a volatile cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or any other altcoin?
One doesn't need to bind significant amount of funds to our system. In big teams it will be "pay as you go" amount of money.

Wouldn't be better using pegged altcoins like Nubits for a high risk experiment like that?
We do our testing in Bitcoin's testnet. So should our users that want to try out the system.

Get insurance that is fair and transparent







A truly P2P insurance powered by Bitcoin


There are no middlemen.
You and your teammates cover each other. If you submit a claim within your team, your teammates pay it.

Fair:
"Treat others the way you want to be treated." Teambrella enforces the Golden Rule and aligns every teammate's interests.

Transparent:
It's not just about seeing where your money goes, it's about controlling it. Every decision in your team is made by discussion and voting.

Affordable:
Your team doesn't have the expenses of a regular insurance company. Oh, and you keep 100% of your money if there are no claims in your team.




How does it work?

There are no pools.
You get coverage directly from your teammates.

1. Join and Get Covered
To get coverage you need to join a team. You may apply to several teams at once and join the one that proposes the best terms for you.
  • When you apply to a team, existing teammates decide how risky you are. If they deem you less risky, then you pay less than the average.
  • Fund your personal wallet to accept the terms and to get covered by your new teammates.
  • Invite your friends to the team – no matter how big your team, the interests of all teammates are aligned.

2. Vote or Delegate
As a teammate, you can vote on everything: new members, rules, and claims. But you don't have to – you can appoint proxies to vote on your behalf.
  • Proxies may be professionals – and they work for you, not for an insurance company.
    If you're not happy with how your proxy votes, you can override their vote or just ditch them.
  • Voters are compensated by the team for their time and expertise. The more people trust a proxy to vote on their behalf, the bigger the compensation is.
  • Your vote weight grows as you pay for other teammates' claims. In Teambrella, it's "he who gives the gold makes the rules."

3. Pay and Get Paid
When the team approves your claim, you are paid directly from the teammates' personal wallets.
  • Your personal wallet is jointly controlled by you and your team via Bitcoin multisignature. Teambrella doesn't keep clients' funds.
  • Teammates make payments using our open-source client software. Payments are made automatically. However, if in doubt, you can prevent a transaction from your wallet.
  • Our open-source client software allows teammates to collectively retrieve their funds if the server is compromised or shut down.
