BitNation, a collaborative platform for do-it-yourself governance, has coded the world’s first, virtual nation constitution.

During a 3 hour live session in Rio de Janeiro, Bitnation:Pangea was created in 140 lines of code. The highlight of the event was codifying its ‘Liquid Holocracy’ based constitution, and its launch as the framework for the Bitnation Decentralized Borderless Voluntary Nation (DBVN) on the Ethereum blockchain.

The framework is inspired by the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), Bitnation said. The code is open source, and will be shared on GitHub for anyone to use, contribute to, or fork.

Bitnation has been using bitcoin blockchain. Explaining its reason for shifting to Ethereum, Janina Lowisz (AKA Blockchain Girl), one of Bitnation’s worldwide ambassadors, told AllCoinsNews:

“Ethereum`s smart contract capabilities better suit the needs of the coming Pangea platform, and Bitnation users will have a smoother and better user experience”.

Bitnation Pangea’ Github page describes it as the world's first blockchain powered Virtual Nation. It is a collaborative platform for Do-It-Yourself Governance, providing all services traditional governments provides. The platform relies on the ID and Reputation System (The BITNATION Passport), the Dispute Resolution System, the Public Notary and a DIY Governance (D)App Library where others can create, upload, share or sell their own Governance (D)Apps.

Additional services include marriage, wills, childcare contracts, birth certificates, land titles, corporate incorporation and equity trade, unemployment insurance, pensions, health care insurance, security, and diplomacy.

In a blog post on Medium, founder Susanne Tarkowski Tempelhof said that Pangea has been built using the technology of, and in partnership with, Horizon and The Blocknet. The platform has been built to be optimized for decentralization, and for mobile use.

Last May, Bitnation released a first alpha of Bitnation Pangea collaborative platform for DIY Governance.

Ethereum is basically Bitcoin+. It is an ecosystem that currency, and smart contracts can be a medium of exchange. Many companies are building on this ecosystem and the banksters are looking into its blockchain possibilities. It's a hedge against Bitcoin with the banks and certainly worth a punt at this cheap price.

People sum it up as: Gold is to Bitcoin what oil is it Ethereum.

The difference is people are starting to build stuff with the Ethereum ecosystem.

Congrats to kraken.

People are actually building stuff with the Ethereum ecosystem.

Does it matter what your squabble? Bitcoins dying in front of your eyes and the saddest thing is that you cannot see it because you are too busy squabbling over shite.

The bitcoin is dead. Long live Ethereum.

BlockchainBusters.

Bitcoin and its users need to get their house in order.

Was looking to follow Ethereum. Can't find anything so far.

Right now Ethereum seems to be a good hedge against Bitcoin.

Don't most folk frequent a different type of pump and dump party?

Thanks for clarifying. The OP should be amended or thread locked as its misinformation.

Kraken is a good place to buy.

Block size debate and all the petty squabbling is causeing capital flight out of Bitcoin.

Thanks. Know of any similar alternative app?

Worth hedging your bets.

Thanks. What happened to the dev?

Been waiting for this. Hope it's true.

What's the app called? Can't find it in the App Store.
