You're right, it's a personal opinion of how I feel every day.

I lived near a big city, in the evening, I smelled like a smell of burning in the air, yet nothing to worry about.

But I didn't feel it every night but a few years later, it came back more and more often.

It's a bit like when you put syrup in the bottom of your glass. you don't feel it. but if you stir a little more. you taste like syrup with every sip.

Today I live in the big city and I smell this burning smell every night.

I have traveled to beijing, shanghai, paris, toulouse, los angeles and I know from personal experience that 7 billion people who use cars, consume electricity and buy phones every year consume a lot of CO2 and pollutes our planet.

it may seem denied. I am not an environmentalist in my country. (France). Just a developer.

I believe that together we can do something big and profitable for everyone and not just the TOP 100 billionaires.

The first investors will be the most rewarded.

I am looking to work with agroforestry associations to set up this project.

The website will appear shortly with all the answers to your questions. Stay up to date on twitter

We are optimistic that the transaction fees are high.

Visa / Mastercard : 0.50% + 0.50% for banks and much more for some banks
or even Bitcoins and others altcoins taking fees, big fees for very small transactions

0% of thoses are injected in ecology or social projects, only miners. We can solve this problem by a solution that creates jobs, the greening of our big cities and unused land.

Today paypal plants 1,000,000 trees per year. It's greenwashing when we know that to absorb the quantity of CO2 we need nearly 1000 billion trees. by the way, they take almost 2% per transaction ( only 0.05% for our solution )

Gigatree could grow 1 billion trees per year and more using this token, only with fees.

I understand your doubts, I take into consideration your remarks which are very interesting and which will help to enlighten some reluctant people on our platform.

Project name: Gigatree


Context: We agree that today bitcoin generates as much CO2 as Switzerland or Sweden. Transaction fees are 6€ for small payments for bitcoin, even 50€ on ETH on peak days and these same transaction fees go back to the miners who consume even more energy to buy new and more powerful graphics cards. These transaction fees mainly go back to the miners. Money that goes away and is not recovered by the users. The same goes for merchants, merchants pay about 1 to 3% when paying by credit card, these fees are very high for micropayments, which leads some merchants to refuse the card. So I had an idea.  

The concept : To answer this problem, I propose to create a new blockchain, decentralized, where there is no proof of mining, where the transaction fees are 0.25% (or 0.0025€ for 1€ spent) and where 80% of the company's profits are donated to reforestation or ecological associations.
Thus this project allows to create a virtuous circle where the money spent is then injected directly into the economy by your spending but also through associations that employ employees.

Number of phases : 140
Starting price phase 1: 0.05€.
Maximum price in phase 140 : 7€.
Increase level : Every 140 000 tokens sold, the previous phase ends and the price increases.

All the unsold tokens will be distributed among the buyers, this will dilute the selling price but will increase in quantity the number of tokens obtained for each investor.

UPDATE 09/12/2020 : Opening of the site on December 25th 2020.
Presentation of the team
Presentation of the services
WhitePaper
Roadmap
Opening of the pre-registrations

UPDATE 02/09/2022 : Blockchain under development
The blockchain is currently under development, it uses the NODE JS technology, LEVEL (database used by bitcoin), the blockchain will be in Proof of stake what allows to improve considerably the performances, notably the speed of validation of the blocks.
After all the remarks that have been given, the laws that have changed since 2020, Gigatree has taken an incredible turn. And I thank you for that
