Title: BlockTrust - Crowdfunding the Blockchain
Post by: BlockTrust on November 16, 2014, 03:54:00 PM


BlockTrust is a Crowdfunding Platform for Blockchain related projects with MultiSig Escrow and ClearingHouse notarization services

Please visit our website at BlockTrust.org (http://BlockTrust.org) for a complete summary of our services.



As Bitcoin finds its way into mainstream culture and blockchain technology spreads throughout traditional
technology platforms, there is exponential interest coming into the space from developers to venture capital firms.
In the last few years, blockchain technology has seen an enormous increase in attention and development.


As this innovation space continues to grow, more and more projects will need initial funding to take a
proof-of-concept to a production phase. Infrastructure development is currently being built out, such as payment
gateways which are capturing most of the venture capital. Service applications will soon be in demand that will
take advantage of this infrastructure. This next phase of development will be small projects that are not be able
to secure VC funding, let alone large institutional funding. This small business framework defined in title III of the
JOBS Act allowing smaller ventures the ability to solicit funding from the general public, will be how most start-ups
will be able to take their ideas from concept to beta. Our ambition is to provide blockchain related projects an easy,
secure, and efficient way to source development funding from their community of supporters.

Services
 
Crowdfunding Campaigns

BlockTrust will host Crowdfunding Campaigns of varying types for interested parties. In order for a Campaign
to be hosted, the developers of the project will need to have their code audited and fulfill the personal
authentication process requirements, which will provide assurance to future supporters on the legitimacy of the
project. Contributions will be stored in a multi-sig wallet and will be released according to the milestone distribution
model defined.

Campaign Types:

Unique Blockchain Campaign
Established Blockchain Campaign
Established No-Token
Share Platform
Affiliated
Donation
Charity

BlockTrust Certification Service

BlockTrust Certification is a validation process, where by interested parties with blockchain related projects comply
with several steps to confirm the identity of the owners and/or developers of the project, while also reviewing the
integrity of the code. Projects that satisfy our validation process will receive a BlockTrust Certificate, verifying the
integrity of the project.
 
Personal Authentication


Personal Authentication is a verification process, which will provide proof of a developers and/or development teams’
identity. The authentication will have no rating system, while every developer will complete the same process to meet
approval standards. This ensures that developers provide accurate and truthful information.

Authentication  process:

    Email Address/Facebook/LinkedIn
    Telephone number
    Official Government Identification
    Notarized Verification Form
    Repository access verification
    Interview with the developer
    

All essential information on the project and it’s developers will be notarized through the ClearingHouse protocol
on the Viacoin blockchain. All developers that have direct access to the project repository must complete the
authentication process.

Code Review

The blockchain codebase is the core element that controls a large number of its features. BlockTrust believes it
is critical that a code of a future currency is extensively reviewed, as well as the wallet along with any features.
BlockTrust requires that notable issues are fixed prior to the launch of the Campaign. Code reviews on each project
will be posted in extensive articles on the project's featured Crowdfund page.

If you are thinking about buying ARCH there is no better time than now while it's cheap. Soon, when the projects such as Blocktrust start rolling out.....you will not be able to afford it.

If you haven't noticed, ARCH is not just another shitcoin, in fact, the "coin" is the least important aspect of ARCH.

ARCH is a business, a true decentralized corporation. One example is moby.io , which is part of ARCH. Look into the whitepapers on archcoin.co if you have questions about how all of this ties in together.

http://coinry.com/ is another example, it aims to be the "Godaddy" of crypto. Blockchain technology is coming, like it or not, and the practical applications for real world business go far, far beyond pump and dumps on Shittrex and Craptsy.

ARCH's main goal is to bring outside fiat into crypto so everyone can stop trading bitcoins with each other and start making real money as well as providing real solutions for the world.

I think the reason the price hasn't blown up already is the ARCH network is so different, most people don't understand what's really happening and what it implies. Which is fine with me, I'll continue loading up my bags on the cheap.  8)

Friend, I wish I could say "On this day you will have 100x your money" but unfortunately I can not say, I do not know exactly. No one can know this. The ARCH group is working their asses off because all ARCH CEOs and HQ members are heavily invested, they want to see gains as much as anyone else, if not more as they have put their work and time into these projects as well as their money.

Things are happening every day, did you see the ArchX trading app that just came out for Android today?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.github.zholmes1.archtrader

Ztrader is popular, the same dev created this app, but Ztrader is going to be a paid app soon whereas the ARCH app will always be free. When the ARCHX exchange goes live all ARCH trading pairs will be on the app.

Projects like Moby don't happen overnight, but I don't know of any other "coin" that has this much real world development and use happening right now with this much potential.

When the first Moby sells, or when Blocktrust goes live, I hope anyone who wanted in got in before then. Because when that project starts to take off it there will be no more cheap coins.

Good luck to everyone.

This is my opinion of Blocktrust after the Sendchat CCO.

Well, the whole Sendchat CCO process show that Blocktrust indeed a good platform that will bring trust back to the cryptocurrency community, even though the goal is not met, the blocktrust team show that they can held good business ethics that repeatedly hurt by scammer and fraud, as with their resource and connection Blocktrust could easily make a secret deal and fund the CCO behind our back just to show a successful crowdfunding in their platform, but they showed their integrity by follow the term of agreement and process the refund without any problem.

With recent low trust for any crowdfunding/ICO from community, Sendchat raise nearly 200BTC while at the same time other good project crowdfunding like https://bitsquare.io (https://bitsquare.io) (decentralized exchange) that have a goal of 120BTC can only reach 45% from their goal.

Keep up the good work Blocktrust team, our community need to bring back trust and transparancy.

See you in your next work..

The MIN was not met for first CCO they had, therefore as promised to the investors the funds were refunded.

BT just announced the second CCO on their platform, SendChat II. https://twitter.com/blocktrust_org/status/595025953232945152

Cant wait to participate and will put even more in this time around, everything looks much more organized.

Great job!

Really like what BlockTrust is doing, different "aura" of crypto crowdfunding.
