Blockchain Ventures is an experimental blockchain project aiming for self-sustained growth and development.




Blockchain Ventures Operations

Blockchain Ventures will acquire stakes in other blockchains or blockchain related projects that it views to be either undervalued or showing great potential. Blockchain Ventures will attempt to minimize exposure to failure through proper assessment and diversification.
For initial launch purposes, Blockchain Ventures has acquired stakes in the following blockchains or blockchain related projects.

-

Funds are kept on exchange for now unless wallet address is provided.
Value will be determined by most liquid exchange and average between bid and ask.
Operations will scale up over time and new ventures will be pursued.
Funds used for operations will go back towards operations.


Normal operation structure


25% of profits put into Blockchain Venture’s Development Fund (XBVDF).
35% of profits put towards the value of XBV: 25% put towards buying back XBV which will then be burned,
10% put towards XBV stabilization fund (XBVSF).
30% of profits going back into XBV operations
10% of profits going to XBV Team


Blockchain Ventures Stabilization Fund (XBVSF)

BTC Address -

A fund to provide liquidity and stability in value for Blockchain Ventures.
60% on exchange at minimum target (MinT) for liquidity
40% off exchange, available for anyone who wants to exchange their XBV at market value
(XBV exchanged this way will be burned)
MinT will be determined based on the status of Blockchain Venture and ongoing operations.


MinT = ___ BTC/XBV





Burn Address -
xe2EibataUsN8Vop3nV7JhHUWTRgjsstjs

0 XBV Burned

The burn address for which the XBV to be burned will be sent to is xe2EibataUsN8Vop3nV7JhHUWTRgjsstjs.

This address is a p2sh address with a redeemscript of
Code:
OP_2 OP_3 OP_EQUAL
which is an unspendable script because 2 does not equal 3 and thus will always fail.
In hex this is
Code:
525387
Anyone can verify this with the command
Code:
decodescript 525387
in the command console.



Example of operations

XBV’s START position was acquired for 0.0001 BTC/START.
 START rises to 0.0002 BTC and the position is fully liquidated.
10,000 START acquired at 0.0001 BTC/START = 1 BTC.
10,000 START liquidated at 0.0002 BTC/START = 2 BTC.

1 BTC + 1 BTC in profits = 2 BTC.
     - 1 BTC goes back to operations for Blockchain Ventures
     - 0.25 BTC goes to XBVDF
     - 0.25 BTC goes to buying XBV and burning
     - 0.1 BTC goes to XBVSF
     - 0.3 BTC goes back into XBV Operations
     - 0.1 BTC goes to XBV Team




Blockchain Ventures Development
BTC Address -

A fund for the sustained and ongoing development of technical features for XBV.
By analyzing the technical developments of other cryptocurrencies, Blockchain Ventures will pick and choose features that are best suited for the long-term success of XBV, making full use of the second mover advantage.
Input from XBV community will be taken into account so please discuss or suggest what features you need/like in a cryptocurrency.
Funding for all development will come from the Blockchain Ventures Development Fund (XBVDF).
Developers will be brought on or contracted to provide addition of technical features for XBV.
For launch purposes a developer was contracted to create a simple functional PoS cryptocurrency for Blockchain Ventures (V.1).
There are plans to migrate or swap to an improved blockchain (V.2) in the near future once operations are established and running smoothly.



Technical features for possible implementation in V.2
- Deposit function for blockchain that enables up to 5 – 10% PoS per annum depending on how long deposit is (Ref. XDN, HODL)
- API integration into wallet to allow for live updates and monitoring of Blockchain Ventures
- 0.1% Transaction fee and burning to counteract inflation while incentivizing staking and holding
- Proposal and voting functionality

Donation Process


Operations will be in process during the donation period which will last for two weeks:
10:00:00PM April 11 – 10:00:00PM TBD (Western Standard Time).

Voluntary donations will be accepted from anyone who wishes to assist with operations and the continued development of XBV.
Blockchain Ventures is already funded project so an ICO is not required.

5% (50,000 XBV) will be set aside for developmental and promotional purposes.
- 30,000  for use during first year
- 10,000 for use in 2017
- 10,000 for use in 2018


The remaining 95% (950,000 XBV + XBV staked) will be split by all donations at the end of the donation period.
Initial funding from Blockchain Venture’s operations will be counted towards donations.



Total Donations = _ + _ = _ BTC
≈ _ XBV/BTC (as of April _, 2016)





Donations will be used for the following purposes
- 70% to Blockchain Ventures operations
- 20% to XBVSF
- 10% to XBVDF


During the donation period profits from Blockchain Venture’s operations will also follow this structure

Example of distribution after donation period ends

Operation funding = 6 BTC
Donations received = 4.5 BTC

If profits from operations at end of donation period = 2 BTC
- 60% goes to operation funding (1.2 BTC)
- 20% goes to XBVSF (0.4 BTC)
- 20% goes to XBVDF (0.4 BTC)

Total operation funding on April 23, 2016 = 6 + 1.2 = 7.2 BTC.

At the end of donation period ≈ 950,000 XBV will be split between 7.2 + 4.5 BTC (≈ 81,200 XBV/BTC).

Bounties will be available for the following:
- Mac Wallet
- Multipool

In return you can choose to receive XBV or the equivalent value in Bitcoin.
If you plan on selling the XBV bounty right away, please opt to receive the equivalent value in Bitcoin.

Yes it is PoS only.
Mining may be available through multipool after launch if there is demand for it.
If demand is very high from miners there will be a bonus of some sort when mining for it through multipool.

I do like mining but for purposes of XBV, actual PoW would not be as beneficial because of unnecessary sell pressure.
Awarding XBV (with a slight bonus of maybe let's say 20-40% bonus?) through multipool will still allow for people to earn XBV through mining while help create buy pressure for XBV instead of sell pressure.

This project is already funded and will start with or without participation from others.
There will be a small period of time for people to get some XBV.
More information coming shortly.

do you have any long term projects or partnership to make sure that this one will grow? I'll keep on checking it as of now maybe much better to do some promotion and keep us updated for any development. wish you luck with this new project OP.

There are long term operational plans to ensure that XBV is self-sustainable and viable in the future.
There will be some promotion for XBV but not much because it would be better if this project starts smaller. More room to grow!
Keep an eye out for updates! More information will be provided soon.
Everything is getting finalized now.

Algo will most likely be scrypt but this should not really matter since it is full PoS.
Initial supply will most likely be 1,000,000.

There will be no "attempt" to remain anon.
Anonymity will be kept for two main reasons.

1. Revealing identity has no real bearing on this project because this project is already funded so it will start on the chosen launch date.
2. Revealing all identities associated with Blockchain Ventures will most likely lead to bigger interest in this project which is not what is wanted at launch.

We are choosing to start small so that the operation model for XBV can be tested and then it will scale up.
This is not an ICO and we do not need one for XBV.

Before actual launch there will be small period for public participation.
Anyone who wants to donate towards to the progress of XBV can do so.
As appreciation, XBV will be sent to any donors.
This donation process will be escrowed.
We are working out possible ways for people to mine and earn XBV but this is not promised.
Even if no one donates funding has already been allocated for this project and the it will start.

Revealing identities will be considered further down the road but unnecessary at this time.

Primary purposes of this thread is for the transparent documentation of operations, activities, and growth of Blockchain Ventures.

Thank you for your interest.

So, just to clarify, you will hold all XBV that are not "donated"?  Thanks for the info.

If no one chooses to participate, then yes all XBV will be held by Blockchain Ventures.
This scenario poses no problems for Blockchain Ventures and operations will start regardless.
More specifics will be posted soon so it will be better to just wait and see all details at once.

XBV is not promising any ground breaking new achievements or developments.
Instead XBV will first focus on providing the cryptocurrency scene with something viable and self-sustaining.
Once this is complete technology and development of XBV itself will be focused on.
Specific details will be posted soon.

It was a scam attempt and the imposter was using Poloneix instead of the actual Poloniex username.

This was a very suspicious email because poloniex would not do this.
It's been a very long time since they hosted an ICO.
The idea for Blockchain Ventures is already complete but just waiting on everything to be finalized.

Even if Poloniex did host ICOs, XBV would not need it.
The cryptocurrency scene has been performing exceptionally well lately.
Blockchain Ventures is excited to be part of it all.

Thank you for your interest but you should never judge a project because of nice pictures, that can be very dangerous.
Instead look at what the project is actually doing.
Some of the most top quality project in cryptocurrency do not have the nicest presentation like BitcoinDark.

Hi dev any bounty for translating? Thanks!

Right now there is no need for other languages.
After everything is  running smoothly and XBV expands operations and target audience, then translations will be required.
Thank you for your interest and offer to translate.

I'm assuming OP is going to attempt to remain anon while collecting BTC in an ICO?

There will be no "attempt" to remain anon.
Anonymity will be kept for two main reasons.

1. Revealing identity has no real bearing on this project because this project is already funded so it will start on the chosen launch date.
2. Revealing all identities associated with Blockchain Ventures will most likely lead to bigger interest in this project which is not what is wanted at launch.

We are choosing to start small so that the operation model for XBV can be tested and then it will scale up.
This is not an ICO and we do not need one for XBV.

Before actual launch there will be small period for public participation.
Anyone who wants to donate towards to the progress of XBV can do so.
As appreciation, XBV will be sent to any donors.
This donation process will be escrowed.
We are working out possible ways for people to mine and earn XBV but this is not promised.
Even if no one donates funding has already been allocated for this project and the it will start.

Revealing identities will be considered further down the road but unnecessary at this time.

Primary purposes of this thread is for the transparent documentation of operations, activities, and growth of Blockchain Ventures.

Thank you for your interest.


I dev i would like to donated some bitcoin, But just few , dont have many yet! Where and when i can send the donation?

Who has invested should not make a difference as long as the project is funded, which it is.
As we stated previously, we would prefer to start off small so that we can make sure operations go smoothly before scaling up.
Revealing identities serves no real benefit other than drawing attention to Blockchain Ventures but will be considered after launch.
All transparency that is necessary for Blockchain Ventures to function and operate will be provided when details for launch are updated.

You should wait to see the details of this project before making a decision to donate or not.
See if XBV is a project you agree with and see potential in.
Thank you for your continued support and willingness to donate.

The value per XBV has not been determined yet.
The project funding will ensure that XBV starts at a minimum value and can rise with participation from others.
Things are currently undergoing testing to ensure that everything is fully functional at launch.
Thank you for your interest.

I just have read the updated OP. The project is interesting, however the prospects for the success of this project are 100% dependent on who is running it.

You write "Blockchain Ventures will acquire stakes in other blockchains or blockchain related projects that it views to be either undervalued or showing great potential.".
The main question here is - who is deciding whether some some "blockchains or blockchain related projects" are undervalued or overvalued? The abilities of that person are crucially important for the project.

Thus comes the question - are you going to reveal some identities behind this project? If not, how would you show you have the required knowledge or qualifications to successfully invest the funds into the right projects? Everyone could just write "I will take your capital and increase it due to profitable trading". But not everyone can make it profitable. How could potential investors be sure (or at least hope) your trading is going to increase the funds, instead of decreasing?

Sorry for my English. Hope my questions were clear enough...

You are correct, the abilities of those in charge of operations is crucially important for Blockchain Ventures.
This project would not have been started if we were not confident of those in charge of operations.
Everyone can write "I will take your capital and increase it due to profitable trading" but not everyone is doing what Blockchain Venture's aims to do and using our methodology.
Although XBV is starting off as a small project, time and resources was put into making this possible so XBV was not created to waste time.
Every aspect of this project was considered and is being carried out in a way that is best for Blockchain Ventures in the long term.
Revealing any identities would either have a neutral effect or possible other effects of possibly creating unnecessary hype or expectations for this project and bringing more attention to it.
The results of Blockchain Venture's operations will be transparent and will speak for itself.
Initial operations and development was intended to start small and then scale up once thoroughly tested.
As Blockchain Ventures scales up and expands operations, revealing any identities will be considered.
Thank you for your concerns and interest

hmm , ok, well now this is confusing ;\
so it's one thing to say that we give you our btc as a donation and get a token (woot?) as replacement
the newbie account, and asking for it as a donation, why would anybody in their right mind send you their btc?
for a worthless token anyone can make in five mins?
and you knightdk, why would you put yourself involved in this shit?
how easy would it be for this newbie dev to take this btc
hell we couldnt even bitch, it's worded as DONATIONS
what incentive is there for you? seems alot of risk...
or is this dev your alt account?
cause no reputable member would escrow this unless they were involved imo

hmm , ok, well now this is confusing ;\
so it's one thing to say that we give you our btc as a donation and get a token (woot?) as replacement
the newbie account, and asking for it as a donation, why would anybody in their right mind send you their btc?
for a worthless token anyone can make in five mins?
and you knightdk, why would you put yourself involved in this shit?
how easy would it be for this newbie dev to take this btc
hell we couldnt even bitch, it's worded as DONATIONS
what incentive is there for you? seems alot of risk...
or is this dev your alt account?
cause no reputable member would escrow this unless they were involved imo

The donation period was made possible so that in the future people would not be able to complain about not being able to have a fair chance to get XBV.
Everyone will have at least two full weeks to observe and decide for themselves if they wish to have anything to do with this project.
We considered a completely closed launch but decided that it would be better for the future of Blockchain Ventures to give the community a fair and early chance to participate if they wish.
Anyone can make a worthless token in five minutes but considerable time, resources, and consideration have been put into XBV than what is needed for a basic coin.
Higher risk typically yields higher returns, it is rare to find high returns with low risk.
We understand your concerns with this project.
Blockchain Ventures expects and has planned for minimal initial involvement from the community.
Instead of simply calling this shit or being suspicious please feel free to bookmark Blockchain Ventures so you can continue to watch our progress.
Time will prove everything and you might find yourself pleasantly surprised at what you see in the future.
Thank you for your interest.

We would like to apologize for the lack of communication and updates.
There were some delays as a result of unexpected events that needed tending to.
There will some more information provided shortly.
As a result of this delay, there will be an extension of the donation period.
Thank you for your patience.

A quick update:
We have been observing The DAO and find that a structure like The DAO might be better suited for XBV.
We are looking into transitioning XBV into a model similar to The DAO.
This project is still alive and will commence when everything is ready.
Sorry for any delays but they are to help make Blockchain Ventures successful.

This scam is a very clever operation. Don’t fall for it!! Everyone can make a pro-like whitepaper but that doesn’t mean it is a valid organisation.

Study the team members and you will find out, that some of them left a ponzi scheme and deceived lots of investors! Be warned!
