BITNATION : In Bitnation’s world, you can become a Citizen of any Nation through a smartphone application ArisTaufik16 Follow Apr 22, 2018 · 9 min read

“Every citizen is sovereign and has the right to self-determination and is at liberty to choose any form of expression or way to be human or posthuman and with whom to associate and cooperate.”

We are excited to introduce BITNATION !!!

What Is Bitnation?

Bitnation is the proof-of-concept Decentralized Borderless Voluntary Nation (DBVN).

Bitnation is vision is a global free market for governance services. A post-Nation State world of Voluntary Nations, City States and Autonomous Communities which compete for Citizens by providing a range of opt-in governance services. In our world sovereignty shifts decisively from the State to the Citizen, and humanity reclaims freedom of choice when accessing governance services.

What can we do?

We offer a range of services in-house or in partnership with other providers:

1. The Bitnation blockchain Public Notary is being used for a wide range of purposes — marriages, wills, birth certificates, company registration, land titles, freelance agreements, loan agreements, etc;

2. The Bitnation Refugee Emergency Response (BRER) provides a blockchain ID for stateless people. BRER’s software won the Grand Prix and Award for Best Idea at the UNESCO NETEXPLO 2017;

3. Partnerships with third party governance service providers such as Exosphere Education Program, SpaceChain’s open source space hardware and software program, resilience.me basic income protocol, and Dragonfly’s physical security service;

4. Bitnation organized the world’s first Blockchain Marriage and World Citizenship ID, Blockchain Land Title, Birth Certificate and Refugee Emergency ID during 2014 and 2015.

5. In 2016 Bitnation, recorded the world’s first DBVN Constitution on the Ethereum blockchain and has since set up a resource center for other aspiring DBVN creators.

6. The Pangea Jurisdiction which has been in development since 2015, and is currently on version 0.3, is built on IPFS, SSB and Ethereum. Two previous iterations have been released in the past, the first one using the Horizon chain, and the second one based on the SSB “gossip” protocol.

With PANGEA technology, we can do it easily. !!

What is the PANGEA?

Pangea is a decentralized jurisdiction for the peer-to-peer creation of voluntary nations and making and arbitrating solemn agreements. The Pangea frontend is built as an intuitive mobile chat application, while the backend is a mesh network which can be configured to communicate with any blockchain to create and execute smart contracts. On Pangea users, arbitrators and smart contracts can build reputation and are rewarded for fulfilling contracts and resolving disputes with Pangea Arbitration Tokens (PAT).

PANGEA Sistem Architecture

As emerging quantum computers will make RSA and elliptic curve encryption irrelevant, the DTN is designed as a quantum-safe protocol, enabling Citizens to send ephemeral messages and providing them with forward secrecy. To build Panthalassa we have developed new code and reused some work from other open source projects:

The SSB network is using a gossip protocol and its main ideas have been reused. Panthalassa uses the gossip protocol to allow Citizens to communicate in an isolated network (such as a home network) and synchronize with the main network later. We intend to implement SSB’s offline data replication functionalities.

SSB has been one of the first projects to let users choose which cryptographic algorithm they want to use and to retain interoperability we have kept this idea.

The IPFS project is the most advanced file sharing network and the main foundations of its BitSwap protocol and DAG have been reused.

While Pangea 0.3 has been built to write smart contracts to Ethereum, the network is blockchain agnostic and will provide users with a way to choose which chain they want to use. Once Polkadot or a similar protocol is integrated, citizens will be able to use the blockchain they want, in an interoperable way. Until a better language achieves mainstream availability, smart contracts will be written in Solidity. Bitcoin will be integrated through the Rootstock protocol which also uses Solidity. Emerging chains such as Tezos and EOS and post-blockchain technologies like Tangle and Bitlattice are future options that might be integrated along with other more secure alternative contract languages.

The Panthalassa prototype is developed in Golang, which is a memory safe language developed by Google. Go allows us to rapidly develop a safe working implementation. The Pangea frontend uses ReactJS, which permits the development of a responsive interface, emphasizing our mobile first approach. This choice was also driven by the size of the JS community and that many Bitnation contributors are familiar with JS, and prefer it to other languages. Bitnation will render the core to other languages to encourage alternative protocol implementations in JSReact, C++ and Rust — similar to the Ethereum approach.

PANGEA USE CASES

Creat Your Own Nation

DBVN is derived from the term Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), coined by

Larimer and Buterin in 20131.

● Decentralized: Decentralization is the process of redistributing or dispersing functions, powers, people or things away from a central location or authority. In the realm of a DBVN, decentralization translates into both technological and human decentralization through the use of P2P (Peer-to-Peer) technology, modular interfaces, API (Applications Programming Interface) layers, and forkable (duplicated) code. This means that every user can become its own node and transform the platform to their own liking. Decentralization also means not having any single point of failure in the event of an attack. Human nodes should be able to reorganize themselves in resilient nodes no matter what part of the network comes under attack — be it human or other technological factors. In practice, this means that various clusters, regional or otherwise, are entirely autonomous.

● Borderless: DBVNs do not limit their services to any specific geographical area, ethnicity or other category of populations. They have no borders or ports of entry: no land boundaries, airports, coastlines, or seaports. DBVNs provide services to all areas, regardless of where it is geographically located. Some would claim that a DBVN is ‘virtual’ by design. Although virtual-by-design is an intuitive assumption, a DVBN does not have to be based entirely in the virtual world and neither does its services.

● Voluntary: DBVNs do not use force, fraud, or coercion, nor do they subject their citizens to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. Due to the fact that DBVNs are voluntary in nature, they are inherently free of persecution, intimidation, reprisals, and other forms of systematic violence. DBVNs compete in a free market where customers, the “citizens” of the platform, voluntarily choose which DBVNs they want to use. Citizens may opt to use several DBVNs, none at all, or create their own DBVN.

● Nation: A Nation is a large group of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, or history. In the case of DBVNs it is likely that people would be as connected through mutual interests and goals as they would be connected by more traditional commonalities such as culture and language. A nation is a voluntary formation rather than a governing entity (i.e. a state). We provide the tools for governance but do not impose them, nor do we impose any specific code of law or regulations.

2. Peer To Peer Contract

Imagine being able to make complex legal agreements at ease from your smartphone, through a user-friendly chat interface, similar to WeChat, Signal, WhatsApp, or Facebook Messenger, but without the time, costs and bureaucracy of public notaries, lawyers and regulators. And if a dispute arises, you can select the arbitrator of your choice on a free market for arbitration, depending on your budget and preference, the same way you would choose a rental apartment on Airbnb or a vendor on eBay.

Examples of Agreements and Dispute Resolution:

● Business Agreements: Imagine being a freelance in Brazil, assisting a UK based Bitcoin Exchange to translate their website into Brazilian Portuguese. Until now there has not been a practical jurisdiction for these kinds of international, online agreements. Pangea providesan easy way to draw up a contract peer-to-peer, resolve any disputes that may arise, and incentivize contract compliance through the reputation system.

At a later stage, Pangea will evolve into a marketplace for smart contracts, and legal professionals and developers will be rewarded for creating, auditing and improving smart contracts.

INTRODUCTION PANGEA ARBITRATION TOKEN

The Pangea Arbitration Token (PAT) is an ERC20 compatible in-app token for the Pangea Jurisdiction. The PAT token rewards good reputation and is issued on Pangea when Citizens accumulate non-tradable reputation tokens through creating a contract, successfully completing a contract or resolving a dispute attached to a contract. PAT is an algorithmic reputation token, an arbitration currency based on performance rather than purchasing power, popularity or attention. The distribution mechanism for PAT tokens on Pangea is an autonomous agent, Lucy, which will initially launch on Ethereum as a smart contract. This mechanism is blockchain agnostic and can be ported to any viable smart contract platform.

ICO LIVE NOW

The token sale is split into three phases and a total of 14.28 billion PAT (34%) will be sold across the three phases of the sale.

Sale phases:

• Phase 1: Presale — completed in December 2017.

• Phase 2: Public auction — 1 month auction of up to 7.3% of PAT supply.

• Phase 3: Slow release — the remaining unsold tokens will be sold via exchanges over the following 24 months so that a total of 14.28 billion (34%) have been sold by April 2020.

The total amount of PAT in circulation 24 months after the public sale finishes (25 April 2020) will be 14.28B (34% of 42 Billion) in addition to the PAT allocated to the core team and issued for bug bounties.

The public sale begins March 25th, 2018 4pm CET and finishes when either the hard-cap is reached ($27.3M of Ether has been bid), or on April 25th 16h00 CET. The sale is hard-capped at $27.3M USD and the token price is set by the market. This is achieved using a reverse auction with a variable price for the token. One of the effects of this model is that we do not know how many tokens will be sold during the auction. The higher the market-set price of PAT, the fewer tokens will be issued in order to reach the hard-cap.

Do not miss a good opportunity. Get PAT now !!!

PAT tokens are issued by BITNATION AMERICAS LTD. Belize City, Newtown Barracks, Marina Towers, Suite 508. Reg. number 170.093.
