Update (September 29, 2017): Another thread was posted for the airdrop campaign to keep it separate from the announcement / bounty thread but for one reason or the other it has been removed (not by us!) without any notification / justification. So it is assumed that it was creating some sort of a nuisance so we'll avoid posting any separate threads for the airdrop campaign. All instructions to join the airdrop campaign are being posted below, all Jr. Members and above can join the airdrop:
1. Visit the project site
https://librebazaar.org and click Libre Tokens Airdrop. You will see two tabs i.e. Sign Up and Check Status
2. In Sign Up tab, enter your Forum ID and Ethereum Wallet Address then submit the form to receive your airdrop key.
3. PM your airdrop key along with any sensible message to be rolled in for the airdrop.
4. To check your balance enter your airdrop key and ethereum wallet address in Check Status tab. Libre Tokens will be air dropped on October 15, 2017 after which you can go ahead and check number of LBT tokens available to you.
LBT will be sent to your ethereum wallet address before the pre-ICO that is scheduled to be conducted in later half of Fall 2017. All participants of the signature campaign have been automatically rolled in for the airdrop, however you do not need to be part of the signature campaign to join the airdrop.
Good luck!
Update (September 10, 2017): Forum signatures for Members and above have been updated. Everyone using Libre Bazaar Project forum signatures is recommended to update their BBCode accordingly.
Update (September 17, 2017): We are looking for community members to be our Treasurers for the pre-sale scheduled in Fall 2017. If you have a forum rank of at least Hero / Legendary then please visit
this thread to apply.
Civilization is the progress towards a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men - Ayn Rand eCommerce giants like eBay, Amazon and Alibaba are taking more and more control over what you sell and what you buy on the internet. With growing concerns of corporate data sharing and government surveillance, it is not surprising that users are demanding ways to preserve their privacy when required to deal with these corporations. Existing eCommerce giants need to be trusted for privacy but users need to know their privacy is safe without placing trust on a third party. Another problem is the fact that corporate giants have the liberty to allow or disallow an item to be listed on their platform purely at their sole discretion which means that any item that is neither illegal nor unethical might be unfairly prohibited from being listed on these platforms forcing the users to look for alternate means to buy and sell their items.
Libre Bazaar: A Decentralized Anonymous MarketplaceA decentralized marketplace that is accessible to the masses due to its simplicity and ease of use would benefit all eCommerce users who wish to protect their right to privacy. Libre Core Team has started building a Decentralized Anonymous Marketplace (DAM) that will run over Librenet that is a combination of Blockchain and Data Storage Network tightly coupled with peer-to-peer anonymous network routing. Librenet will use a walled garden approach to prevent users from using any platforms / technologies that might affect the level of anonymity and security being offered by the marketplace and hence Librenet will have its own Blockchain that is independent of any of the existing blockchain and its own Data Storage Network; both of which will be kept up and running by Keepers of the marketplace that are decentralized nodes maintaining a copy of the blockchain and encrypted random pieces of marketplace data on their systems. Libre Coins (LBC) will be the currency of the marketplace that will be used for all buying / selling activities.
Libre Bazaar will be built on three key ideas i.e. user friendliness, anonymity and decentralization. It is planned to be so minimalist and intuitive that even the most novice users will be able to conveniently install and use the marketplace. It needs to be completely anonymous with transaction history, sell / purchase history and messages exchanged between buyers and sellers only accessible to the parties involved in a transaction. It has to be completely decentralized with no centralized authorities and the community decides which items get promoted, demoted or removed from the marketplace. It will use a hybrid of proof-of-stake (PoS) and proof-of-keep (PoK) algorithms. PoS is a well known algorithm that rewards stakers for validating transactions depending on the amount they have staked in the network. A second algorithm that will be at works in Librenet will be PoK to incentivize keepers to provide their system resources including storage, bandwidth and CPU to make available contents of the marketplace to users.
Bounty, Airdrop and Pre-ICOLBT is an ERC-20 standard token that will be exchanged at 1:1 ratio with Libre Coins (LBC) once Librenet blockchain is online. All Jr. Members and above are eligible to become a part of signature campaign and airdrop.
Signature Campaign GuidelinesLBT will be rewarded to participants of signature campaign on a daily basis as per following:
| Rank | Tokens |
| Jr. Member | 100 LBT |
| Member | 150 LBT |
| Full Member | 200 LBT |
| Sr. Member | 300 LBT |
| Hero Member | 400 LBT |
| Legendary | 500 LBT |
LBT will be distributed to participants of signature campaign before start of pre-ICO in later half of Fall 2017. All unclaimed tokens allocated for the signature campaign (30% of the total supply of 19,000,000 LBT) will be airdropped and your chance of gaining additional tokens during the airdrop will be directly proportional to the shares obtained by you during the signature campaign. To join the signature campaign please follow below steps:
1. Visit Libre Bazaar's project website (
https://librebazaar.org) and click 'Libre Tokens Airdrop' button on the top.
2. Under 'Signup' tab, insert your Forum ID and Ethereum Wallet Address and submit to receive your unique airdrop key, copy it somewhere as you'll need it throughout the duration of this campaign. Please remember that your ethereum wallet address will be associated with this airdrop campaign and will receive LBT at the time of token distribution / airdrop.
3. Use any of the following forum signatures depending on your forum rank. Please remember to replace
YourAirdropKey in BBCode with airdrop key you received during the 2nd step.
