John Rice has taken his love for crytpocurrency and Deed to a whole new level. Rice, who resides in Leeds, England, first started researching crypto in November of last year after reading an article about blockchain technology. “I love technology. It was the blockchain technology that really got me interested,” Rice said. “I studied and studied it and realized it was going to change the world in the future big time. I thought to myself what businesses that are going to use blockchain will be pioneering. I settled on real estate and advertising.” His interest in real estate led Rice to Deed, an innovative platform that allows property buyers and sellers to secure transactions with a large reduction in agent commission. The standard commission in the industry is 6% for someone selling their home. Deed ( https://www.deedcoinlaunch.com/) has built a national network of brokers in all 50 U.S. states covering 163 cities that will sell homes for a 1% commission when clients use the Deed token. Rice researched several real estate related projects before deciding Deed was a great solution to the high real estate commissions being charged by agents. “Deed’s idea is very concise and simple,” Rice replied when asked about why he chose to support Deed. “It’s a well thought out and planned project. Deed’s direction is clear and managed in a very professional way. It’s the best real world project in its sector.” How did the idea come about to wrap his van with Deed? Rice first thought about the idea because of his strong belief in Deed as a company and a project. He wanted to get awareness out there in his own way so it made perfect sense to use the space on his van. He sat down with a designer and the project became a reality. “We’ve been very fortunate to have strong support from the people in the Deed community,” Deed Co-Founder Charles Wismer said. “What John did with his vehicle was really something special and a great testament to his belief in our project.” For photos of the car you can see the full story below. https://medium.com/@TeamDeedCoin/deed-fan-drives-the-message-home-72f65dbb2fff |

Evolving and adapting to change are key factors in the long-term success of any business. The blockchain platform follows this same creed. Acknowledgement and acceptance of new technology that will strengthen product and customer usability is how companies control their future growth. Deedcoin is a company that embraces change for the better in all aspects of their company. One of the potential changes in blockchain is the type of token being used. The ERC20 token has been the most utilized and accepted cryptocurrency up to this point. It has supplanted itself in the market and become the standard for tokens. ERC20 is not without flaws, however. One main drawback to using ERC20 is the loss of money that is occurring due to locations where tokens can be sent from it’s platform. It allows users to send ERC20 tokens to non-ERC20 token addresses. When a user sends the ERC20 tokens to an Ethereum contract that doesn’t recognize ERC20 tokens, the user loses access to their tokens forever. The tokens aren’t rejected, they are just entirely ignored by the receiving contract. ERC223 allows users to send their tokens to either wallet, or contract with the same function transfer, thus eliminating the potential for confusion and lost tokens. The ERC223 token also allows developers to handle incoming token transactions and reject non-supported tokens which ERC20 cannot do. Cost analysis is always a concern with new technology and ERC223 reduces the amount of gas consumed. Gas is the internal pricing for running a transaction or contract in Ethereum. ERC223 reduces it to a one-step process instead of the two steps with ERC20. The result is two times less gas used and no extra blockchain bloating. Deedcoin completed a smooth transition from ERC20 to ERC223 this week in preparation for the launch of their sales phase on April 30th. This places Deedcoin in an elite group in the top 2% that have tokens running on the ERC223 protocol. Deedcoin has focused on maintaining its goal of always being a front-runner in the blockchain world. “Staying current with the latest technology is a key factor in our business strategy,” Deedcoin Co-Founder Charles Wismer said. “Implementing ERC223 was an easy decision for us knowing the added benefits it will provide both for us and our users. This will be a very effective solution moving forward.” Deedcoin realizes the importance of user confidence when making transfers, especially for people new to the technology. Knowing the risk of losing tokens forever is now eliminated will put users at ease when making transfers. ERC223 tokens are backwards compatible with ERC20 tokens. The simply means that ERC223 supports every ERC20 functionality. As a result, contracts or services working with ERC20 tokens will work with ERC223 tokens correctly. With adaptation like the ERC223 transition, Deedcoin is committed and dedicated to providing innovation that is second to none. The company continues to be an industry leader and sets the pace that other companies are looking to emulate. https://medium.com/@TeamDeedCoin/deedcoin-integrates-cutting-edge-erc223-protocol-b5cf8030a8d6 |

It’s all about the Bots. Deedcoin and AI Gaming are teaming up to bring Bots that possess state of the art technology into the real estate world. To help incorporate what Deedcoin and AI Gaming are implementing, let’s first get an understanding of how Bots work. Also known as web robots, Bots are software applications that run automated tasks (scripts) over the internet. The key to Bot technology is they perform tasks that are both simple and structurally repetitive, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human alone. The exceptional value added by the access to live transaction processors through the customer cloud portal is revolutionary in real estate. No platform currently has an online portal in which you can track your real estate deal every step of the way with live support. This provides a perfect opportunity for AI (artificial intelligence) integration. Deedcoin ( www.deedcoinlaunch.com) will sponsor a game through AI Gaming ( www.aigaming.com) that will allow Bots to be rewarded for assisting in the real estate process. The protocol with the game will be accessing information from standard real estate forms to answer customer questions. The Bots participating in this game will help decentralize the real estate industry and can work independently to contribute solutions that strengthen the broker network. Deedcoin does not intend to use AI to eliminate live help but instead to augment the human support network. By having AI work alongside with human support answering questions such as “What is Hud?’ and “When is my closing date?” it can begin to access documents and learn these elements of the network. Teaching an AI system to handle data and operation-related questions allows the human element to move to more extensive questions while teaching the AI continuously along the learning curve. Real estate agents and their clients are always looking for the smoothest path to the closing table. Until the transaction closes no one is satisfied. Incorporating AI technology to streamline the process drastically reduces stress and doubt that can often occur during any real estate purchase. Strength in customer confidence confirms the validity of the Deedcoin Broker Network and helps it flourish. Deedcoin’s partnership with AI Gaming will help implement AI technology for the purpose of scaling. Harnessing AI to optimize human labor costs will allow larger customer assistance processing along with providing valuable insights into the efficiency of the network. AI networking will allow Deedcoin to predict markets when customers are content with the platform and increase marketing accordingly. In inverse, AI can also provide insight into markets that have concerns and address struggling brokerages or understaffed local offices before they impact the quality of the solution. Deedcoin and AI Gaming have a common goal of making customer satisfaction vital in the performance of their platforms. Utilizing AI technology to maximize the fulfillment of the Deedcoin Network will ensure its long-term strength and success. https://medium.com/@TeamDeedCoin/deedcoin-and-ai-gaming-partner-to-integrate-real-estate-technology-caad43a792c4 |

Building an international real estate platform through the blockchain Originally published on cryptoninjas.net https://www.cryptoninjas.net/2018/04/08/building-an-international-real-estate-platform-through-the-blockchain/Sunday, April 8, 2018 Deedcoin aims to tokenize and reduce real estate commissions down to 1% on the purchase or sale of property It’s important not to let hype overshadow blockchain’s revolutionary and exciting capabilities. Blockchain creates an immutable transaction ledger. This immutability means that transactions are inherently trustworthy; any attempt to tamper with them by, say, duplicating a Bitcoin would be automatically recorded, rendering fraud readily detectable. It means blockchain users can conduct a secure digital transaction, including international transfers without the oversight of a third party such as a bank. Just like someone can send an email to a friend across the world as quickly as they can email their neighbor down the street, blockchain, and the cryptocurrencies built on them are inherently simple to perform without borders. Many blockchain companies are using this technology to launch platforms that can handle local and international transactions with equal ease. These companies are bringing blockchain to international finance, healthcare research, and plenty of other global industries. Deedcoin, a new real estate company, is using blockchain to create a dynamic international real estate platform. The Deedcoin Platform Deedcoin was founded in recognition of the fact that selling property often costs too much. Realtor fees in the U.S. are typically as high as 6% of the home’s selling value. For a house sold for $200,000 (the median price of U.S. homes sold in 2017), the sum is $12,000, huge for the average seller. High fees are perpetuated by powerful trade lobbying groups such as the National Association of Realtors, who have made efforts in recent years to stomp out more efficient online competitors such as Zillow. Deedcoin uses blockchain-based transactions to reduce costs to home buyers and sellers. Usually, fees split between the seller’s realtor fee and the buyer’s realtor fee. In the typical U.S. market, this means that the home seller is paying 3% of their home’s value to each realtor. But sellers and buyers alike can experience dramatic savings by using a Deedcoin-approved agent. These agents will accept a portion of their fee in Deedcoin rather than cash. If both the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent are Deedcoin agents, for example, the seller only has to pay 1% of their home’s value in cash. The other 5%, split between the two agents, can be paid in Deedcoin, with 10 Deedcoin representing 1% of the home value. Deedcoin only cost about $1.50 per token during their initial ICO sale, so this represents substantial savings for both the seller (who pays less) and the buyer (who doesn’t have to pay the price for the home that’s been inflated to cover the commission). Only approved and quality-controlled real estate agents will be part of the Deedcoin program. Because their pricing structure gives them competitive choices for buyers and sellers looking for agents, they’ll have to spend far less on advertising and customer acquisition. Deedcoin’s International Reach By building their platform on the blockchain, Deedcoin is laying the groundwork to expand their business model beyond the U.S. And plenty of other countries could benefit from Deedcoin’s blockchain-based efficiency. The company is planning expansion into five other high-commission nations in 2019: Mexico (7.5%), Japan (6%), Italy (5%), Germany (4%), and Canada (3%). Deedcoin has already made partnerships with agents in all fifty U.S. states and over 140 major cities, proving that they can operate across broad geographic areas and unique and disparate marketplaces. Deedcoin will also prove a useful platform for international buyers interested in U.S property. For shoppers from low-commission countries, Deedcoin will be a feasible alternative to the sticker shock realtor fees. Deedcoin is designed to have long-term utility and scalability to provide democratic efficiency to customers regardless of how large the Deedcoin network grows. Because Deedcoins can be freely traded on cryptocurrency exchanges, their value will be determined on the free market. It’s possible that the value of these tokens may eventually be high enough that Deedcoin property buyers and sellers aren’t saving any money by using them instead of cash. In this case, Deedcoin’s “Alpha” pricing protocol is activated to lessen the number of Deedcoin needed to complete a sale. This control ensures that no matter what price fluctuations the token undergoes, it will always be a useful tool for property buyers and sellers. Blockchain is allowing industries to operate on an international level in a way they haven’t before. It is also allowing the creation of platforms such as Deedcoin, which enable property buyers and sellers all over the United States (and soon, all over the world) to access a smarter, more efficient alternative to outdated real estate models.

How Blockchain Will Disrupt Real Estate Excerpt from Article published on startupgrind.com. Read more at: https://www.startupgrind.com/blog/how-blockchain-will-disrupt-real-estate/DAVID WITHER | The blockchain is already revolutionizing the digital currency landscape. A few years ago, a decentralized currency was unthinkable — how volatile would it be when not backed by a government? However, with the success of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that are supported by the blockchain, people are realizing that it could have far more uses than expected — and the next landscape blockchain has the ability to disrupt is real estate. What blockchain can do. Make the process faster: The process of buying a house can be a long one, and even longer with government entities adding additional restrictions meant to slow down said process thanks to high demand. The blockchain has little power over sales restrictions and legislators’ decisions, but it is a powerful tool regarding financial verification. Techcrunch reports, “At current, most buyers and sellers make use of escrow and title companies for third-party verification — a safety net to make sure both parties keep their end of the deal, as well as to reduce the risk of fraud.” This third-party verification is important, of course, but it can cost around 1 or 2 percent of the property’s total value (and it takes extra time, of course). Blockchain, however, could replace the escrow company or other third parties by vouching for parties’ identities with its far-reaching distributed database. Reduce the risk of fraud and offer complete transparency: The real estate industry is rife with fraud, unfortunately. It’s a prime nesting ground for scammers especially because there are so many steps during transaction processes where it’s easy to trip people up. However, thanks to some of blockchain’s key and most famous qualities — the abilities to record every transaction and protect them with cryptography — blockchain is almost impossible to hack, therefore decreasing the potential for fraud. Fraudsters can forge all sorts of things, like IDs, deeds, and necessary documents. On the other hand, “blockchain-based digital certificates would be linked to a single real estate property in the system, which would make it impossible for an actor to sell a property they don’t own. It would also make it impossible for a fraudster to put themselves between the buyer and the title company to steal funds.” Fundamentally, putting real estate transactions on the blockchain makes them a whole lot safer. Deedcoin: a new player on the block(chain). Bitcoin changed banking, so now Deedcoin is set to change the future of real estate. Deedcoin is a platform that “replaces the way customers find their next real estate agent. Instead of choosing a random 6 percent commission agent, customers access [the] platform, input their property information, and link up with their local Deedcoin agent for 1 percent commission.” You don’t need to alter your entire understanding of how the market works because Deedcoin fully integrates with the real estate infrastructure you’re already familiar with. Why does the commission rate matter? Well, according to their website, US property owners hold $15 trillion in private property but are on the verge of losing $900 billion to future commissions. That’s money you don’t have to be spending. Because they decentralize and streamline the way real estate is exchanged, Deedcoin “returns up to $750 billion to homeowners by tokenizing real estate commission and connecting customers with agents directly.” To sign up for the Deedcoin whitelist go to www.deedcoinlaunch.com |

How To Select A Real Estate Agent And Justify The Worth. By Amy Tori Selling your home can be a very stressful and arduous experience. Choosing the right real estate agent is arguably the most important part of the process. Before reviewing the best criteria for selecting an agent, it is best to start off by determining what the agent should do for you. Here are services that a strong agent should provide. Do thorough research on similar homes in the area and assess the condition of your home to determine an accurate listing price. Pricing it too low or too high can be equally devastating to the seller. After reviewing the condition of your home, an experienced agent can recommend which repairs are worth making to gain the best resale value on your home. A defined marketing plan including a strong internet presence is vital to getting your home in front of the most potential buyers. Providing and reviewing the terms and conditions of properties in your area who are competing with you for the same buyers. Making sure the paperwork process is going smoothly once the sale process has been initiated and resolve anything that would prevent the closing. Strong negotiations to ensure you receive top dollar. Significant advances in technology and the use of the internet has reduced the amount of time the agent has to dedicate to selling your home. Most agents also employ transaction coordinators to monitor the paperwork. And the selling agent doesn’t participate in the showings unless it is an open house. The buyer’s agents show their clients the homes. Before considering what a fair commission to pay your agent might be, let’s delve deeper into what criteria to consider when hiring one. Referrals or testimonials. Don’t take this at face value. Try to find clients that worked with the agent that they don’t provide you. They will always provide referrals that are happy. Contact a current client with a listing that the agent didn’t mention. Interview the agents and don’t settle for the first one that you speak to. Ask tough questions about their credentials, experience, and knowledge of the area. What is the significance of their internet presence and how does it stack up against their competition. We all have friends and or family that are in the industry. Avoiding hiring them would be a smart idea. It keeps it on a professional level, and if things don’t go smoothly, you are not ruining a relationship over it. Simply because an agent has sold a lot of homes doesn’t mean they are an effective agent. Ask what percentage of their listings they have sold. An agent that only listed ten homes over a certain period but sold all ten they listed could be more effective than someone that sold 20 homes but had 25 listings. An agent with fewer clients will have more time to dedicate to you when you need them. When you interview multiple agents and one stands out with a much higher listing price than the rest, you should consider that a red flag. The agent might be desperate to gain a listing. The goal should be to attain realistic numbers that allow your house to sell at a fair price in the shortest amount of time. This is undoubtedly a lot of information to digest. Contemplating what services an agent should provide and what to consider when selecting one are important, but what commission to pay is the debate that continues to rage on. The internet has reinvented how the entire real estate industry functions. At the same time, it has been considered a threat to agent commission rates since its inception. The standard 6% commission has withstood the test of time while surviving the onslaught of for-sale-by-owners and flat-fee MLS listings. If you interviewed two agents, and all the criteria discussed above was equal, why would you pay more commission than necessary? Deedcoin can help with that very dilemma. Deedcoin is taking the real estate industry by storm with a blockchain platform to provide a solution that will allow homeowners a viable alternative to paying high commissions. Deedcoin’s platform simply replaces the way you find your next real estate agent. Instead of finding their next agent on Google for a 6% commission, customers access the platform, input their property information, and link up with their local Deedcoin agent for a 1% commission. Deedcoin customers use DEED to decide the commission or rebate before linking with the Deedcoin agent. Deedcoin integrates fully with the existing real estate infrastructure. All discounts are reflected on the standard HUD forms during a property closing, and all homes are listed or purchased through standard MLS. Customers have access to a groundbreaking technology dashboard allowing 24/7 access to an agent or licensed transaction assistant. Deedcoin’s DEED tokens will access a better real estate network that is already usable in 130+ cities and all 50 states. They streamline real estate to run on 1%, allowing future commissions to be set by the free market based on the price of DEED. Patent pending (App. No. 62/552,038) To learn more about how Deedcoin is putting the entire industry on alert and sign up for their whitelist for the next sales phase go to www.deedcoinlaunch.com.

Property Investors Raise Income 33% with Deedcoin Deedcoin is reinventing the way real estate commissions are paid. The Deedcoin broker network provides real estate customers an opportunity to retain thousands of dollars in equity when selling their home. Homebuyers are also benefiting from the Deedcoin network by receiving money back at closing. Real estate investors that are flipping several properties each year stand to benefit on a large scale with the reduction in commissions paid to their representing agents. To better understand how real estate investors will benefit, here is briefly how Deedcoin works. With a real estate investor using Deedcoin for flipping a house, they would have the ability to receive 2% back when making the purchase and save another 2% when selling the property. Most investors work on a 12% margin when flipping a house. With the potential to add a total of 4% margin to each transaction, the investor stands to gain a whopping 33% in gross income. Adding those type of dollars to each deal’s bottom line will have an amazing impact on the investor’s business. Deedcoin is on a blockchain platform and is available for purchase ( www.deedcoinlaunch.com). Each Deedcoin is worth a tenth of a real estate commission percentage. Simply, 10 Deedcoin equals 1% in commission or 1% of the actual value of the home. Each Deedcoin currently sells for $1.50. If a customer is using a Deedcoin agent, they can use Deedcoin to reduce the buyer’s side of the commission from 3% to 1%. This 2% would be returned to the buyer. On an average home in the U.S. of $250,000 that would equate to $5,000. When the house is ready to be flipped and sold by a Deedcoin network agent the selling commission reduction can be from 3% to 1% as well. The Deedcoin broker network is robust and growing with over 140 agents represented throughout all 50 States and Puerto Rico. If an investor flips 10 houses in a calendar year here is a look at the financial impact on his business. If each house sold for $200,000 on average that would be $2 million in annual transactions. While transacting $2 million in business through the Deedcoin network, the investor stands to earn an additional $80,000 in annual income. The 33% gross income increase raises the annual income from $240,000 to $320,000. The long-term effect of this added income is very substantial. With these numbers It would take just over 12 years to gain an additional $1 million in gross income. The real estate investor is doing the exact same amount of work while earning a 33% increase in income. There is no reason for any real estate investor to not take advantage of this amazing opportunity working with the Deedcoin network. Considering the 40 Deedcoin for 4% cost $60 today per property, the solution is game changing for the industry sector. Deedcoin (DEED) are for sale on deedcoinlaunch.com currently, with the next sales phase happening at the end of this month. https://medium.com/@TeamDeedCoin/property-investors-raise-income-33-with-deedcoin-a5b907661975 |

While innovators in the blockchain community drive the world forward, the scammers sharpen their schemes. The newest technique can be effectively dubbed the “copy-and-paste.” Token purchasers must now ask themselves, “Is my favorite token launch an counterfeit of a functional product?” That’s right, gone are the days of the cloned site on a slightly different URL. Now, the cockroaches of the startup world have begun copying entire sites and “rebranding” the materials to begin a duplicate “launch.” Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery. Unless it involves plagiarism and fraud. A new “ICO” called Atomvilla has literally stolen word-for-word, the content from Deedcoin’s website and whitepaper. First, let it be known that Deedcoin is in no way affiliated with Atomvilla, and the content stolen was originally produced by Deedcoin, and then butchered by a novice graphics editor, assumedly on the Atomvilla team. “Deedcoin is in no way affiliated or connected with Atomvilla. They are not real, they have no national broker network, no platform, and I doubt even a token,” Deedcoin Founder Charles Wismer said, after having read the counterfeit white paper riddled with new logos and token symbols. “This is not a college essay. Plagiarism in crypto will not be tolerated and we will take aggressive action immediately.” Phillip Mrzyglocki, Deedcoin’s Media Director commented, “The only intelligent choice these people made was ripping off a legitimate and vetted project.” Atomvilla also makes references to SEC registration and legal representation that are false. Atomvilla uses copied SEC information, and states in the copied material that they are represented legally by Thomson Bukher LLP, Deedcoin’s legal counsel. This continues to confirm throughout their whitepaper that they are literally copying Deedcoin information word for word, simply replacing Deedcoin with Atomvilla in the copied text. Thomson Bukher LLP does not currently, and has never represented Atomvilla in any way. Tim Bukher at Thompson Bukher LLP has said, “Atomvilla is in no way related to our firm. They have simply plagiarized Deedcoin, a client of ours, and copied their content. We only work with positive projects, and have warned the rest of our clients about this activity. Token purchasers must be careful in the future, search Google for exact sentences, and vet projects carefully with these new schemers trying to defraud the marketplace.” They made no keen attempt to hide the fraud, using the exact same graphs and charts throughout the whitepaper stolen from Deedcoin. Atomvilla also claims to have the same national network of brokers throughout the U.S., like Deedcoin. Deedcoin in fact has a real estate broker/agent network representing 150 cities, across all 50 States and Puerto Rico. The legitimate Deedcoin website, and its original content is located at www.deedcoinlaunch.com. For a good laugh, the Atomvilla site can be Googled, but will not be linked to from this article. |
