What was once a small, tight-knit community, where everybody who was anybody and everything they were doing was known to all, slowly became a constant barrage of news and events. Bitcoin is increasingly present in the media and so much stuff is happening that it's hard to keep up. Whether the price is diving through the floor in another one of the final deaths of Bitcoin or rising in a gentlemenly rally, there is never a dull moment in the world of Bitcoin.
What if there was a website with a selection of the most important events in the Bitcoin history? And what if you could search, filter, slice and dice that data, correlate it with the price movement and drill down to see a timeline of specific chain of events such as the rise and fall of MtGox, Silk Road seizures, or China regulation?
We are about to build that site... if this campaign gets funded.
You can express your interest by pledging, but we're also thankful for any feedback and anxious to hear what you'd like to see on such a site.
CrowdfundingNow there is one thing that needs to be emphasized about this crowdfunding effort: it's not really about collecting funds. It's about you casting a vote. Do you want this site to exist? Would you use it? Would you put your money where your mouth is?
The crowdfunding is our way of gauging interest. If you're interested, we would be happy to provide this service.
Therefore, unless the funding goal is reached by February 29th 2016, the site is likely to be shut down one week after. If the funding doesn't succeed, all funds will be returned to the backers. We are using Lighthouse, a decentralized crowdfunding application, where backers can revoke pledged funds at any time before the project is funded.
For a sneak peak of the early version of the site, please check out our beta which covers years 2009-2013. Site is ready for first subscribers, who will be able to log in and see years 2009-2014. Year 2015 will be available to subscribers after the launch.
Why PledgeBy pledging any amount above 0.025 BTC, apart from bringing the site into existence, you get a subscription to the site after it launches. You are also getting full subscriber access to the site now, during the funding, whether the site gets funded or not.
As a way of thanking our early backers, subscriptions will begin on the launch date which will be scheduled after the funding is complete. This means subscription is a risk-free buy for pledgers: you get the access today, and use it for free until the launch. If the project doesn't get funded, you get your money back. If we are late and miss our launch schedule, your subscription is effectively extended.
If you pledge larger amounts, in addition to subscription you'll receive a Bitcoin-themed T-shirt and/or a poster that explores all events which led to bitcoin price movements. For the first time ever, this huge 48"x32" poster is able to show each day of price movements on a single sheet of paper, from the humble five-cent beginnings to the end of 2015. It is truly a sight to be seen, giving a new perspective of huge differences in bitcoin price.
In case the funding goal is exceeded, we'll be able to afford a few extra features. The stretch goal will be announced if and when we reach the funding goal.
