[ANN][ICO] Bubbletone Blockchain in Telecom

[Holopopstyir]

Hello! I have a question about your nodes. What kind of equipment will be needed? Is that a video card or some special device? Do you plan to service the nodes or manage if required?

Hello! Thanks for your interest. Our equipment are Linux servers optimized by HP (Super Nodes) and any modern smartphone (Mini Node).

Detailed equipment requirements are listed in investment agreement with Node owners. The whole network will be based on equipment from HP.

Very interesting. Will the node system work to maintain network stability or to make payments? What is the minimum threshold for entry into this business will be installed?

Do you have already beta product that people  could test it and understand how it works?

We have a BubbleTone messenger, it’s a fully operable modern messenger with 100+ features which is already available for download at App Store and Play Market.

We also have our OTA platform for downloading third-party mobile profiles via SMS developed and running on a commercial basis with our partners in 80+ countries globally.

We are currently finalizing on messenger’s convergence with blockchain to start launching smart contracts. Graphene blockchain platform is being currently developed as well, it’s 80% complete already.

Live business case of BubbleTone as working blockchain solution to eliminate roaming was presented during Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona.

What is the number of active users on your messenger now? How do you plan to attract new users?

Around 2k users on both iOS and Android platforms. However, it's not the entire userbase we have. Mobile operator Allo Incognito also.

The BubbleTone ecosystem as itself will expand through main agents below:

New mobile operators
New BubbleTone messenger users
New service providers (TV, music, cloud services available through bonus packages of mobile operators with several service providers in one package)
New Super and Mini Nodes

[Whitethoughts]

Every interaction between users, operators and service providers creates new smart contract in BubbleTone ecosystem.
The potencial is over 1 000 000 000 smart contracts by 2020.

On which blockchain will the system be implemented? Will it be able to withstand such a burden? Is it possible to encounter similar problems with the networks of bitcoin and ETH?

[Zeppelins]

Thanks a lot! Can you tell us what projects are you talking about?

Mobilink, TOR-Q-ALL, Blocksims. This is something that I could remember now. In fact, there are many more.

I've heard that the NEO network has the largest bandwidth.

With BubbleTone Blockchain, travelers can swiftly become legitimate local
customers of any foreign operator in the country they are traveling to. They
don’t need to replace their SIM card, and they retain their home number.

This would be a very convenient solution for all travelers, but how will you interest local mobile operators in participating in your platform?

With numbers. The more travellers use mobile services with no roaming, the more traffic they spend. More traffic means more money for mobile operators. Despite the roaming is very expensive around the world, it doesn't mean mobile operators earn a lot of money while providing it. Every mobile operator knows it. Thus, BubbleTone is just a way to increase revenue of mobile operators. How do you think, is it interesting enough for them?

Do you think that the price of roaming can be significantly reduced? Will this be an effective solution for small campaigns in the market for these services?

Most likely, there are still no exact figures as these prices will be determined by the market.

How will roaming be realized? Do you have partnerships will global / local operators? Which countries will be supported?

Now you can determine the number of tokens needed for this.

We offer 2 kinds of deposits:

1. To secure a Super Node (highly efficient server) 1 mln. UMT deposit should be placed. Generated income is 1-2% from mining smarts paid in UMT starting Q2 2018.

2.  To secure a Mini Node (any computing device, even a smart phone; mini-nodes will assist operation of super-nodes) a deposit should be more than 1000 UMT. This will generate an income of 0.1-0.2% from mining smarts paid in UMT starting Q3 2018.

We implement Graphene.
Graphene is extremely flexible, you can make smart contracts tailored for different service providers. Also Graphene is fast. We will be able to process more than 10K transactions per second. We have it tested.

Graphene is trusted and stable blockchain used in such well known projects as decentralized exchange BitShares, Steemit, Golos and EOS.

For more info please see our WP page 17:
http://www.bubbletone.io/BubbleTone_Whitepaper_29Dec2017.pdf

We are closely following what is happening with existing technologies. Graphene is the most suitable blockchain for us so far.
But if the number of transactions is so great that Graphene gets slow, we will move the platform to a faster technology. The main thing is to keep smart contracts.

very interested, the concept of your project will greatly help the problem for everyone who travels outside their area but can not get telecom access. but with Blockchain Bubble Tone, travelers can quickly become legitimate local customers of every foreign carrier in the country where they travel without having to change their SIM cards, and retain their numbers. good luck dev

[Zeppelins]

The technical side of the implementation is described in white paper and the first post. As for partnerships, I think it's impossible to plan it.

As far as I know, there are already some potential companies. Probably later we can find out which ones.

On the ICO trackers often there is a footnote "similar projects", you can check it out there.

Good opportunities to participate in the creation of nodes with any number of tokens. What do you think will be the loading of the node? Will they be cost-effective?

Nice to read such detailed and thorough answers, I see that this part of you thought far ahead.

I meant the cellular operators mentioned above. As far as I understand, negotiations are now under way with certain of them.

Thanks, I'll try to read and understand the technical details. Just thinking about the ambitiousness of your project, I understand that you will need a really high-performance blockchain.

The idea is very interesting to me!
Do you have a list of countries (operators) you plan to work with?

[BubbleTone_Support]

With BubbleTone Blockchain, travelers can swiftly become legitimate local
customers of any foreign operator in the country they are traveling to. They
don’t need to replace their SIM card, and they retain their home number.

This would be a very convenient solution for all travelers, but how will you interest local mobile operators in participating in your platform?

Mobile operators will benefit due to quick growth of provided services' volume. They will be able to quickly and without costly integration offer their subscribers global mobile coverage at local rates, start servicing traveling customers, offer their subscribers a unique competitive messenger app. We actively interacting with mobile operators in several countries.

Operators do not earn top dollar on roaming. High prices are related to high costs for roaming technology deployment and maintenance as well as high intermediator fees. The fact is that high roaming prices reduce the volume of communication services’ consumption. People use mobile less when in roaming just to save money.

The lower communication services cost for the user, the more he uses it. Thus, BubbleTone will help operators to sell more traffic.

It sounds interesting, if you can really reduce the cost of roaming, then the traffic will grow.

Exactly.
