Envion Whitepaper introduction

When cryptomining was still in its infancy, it was well distributed among a couple of thousand private miners, governed by transparent rules and not harmful to the climate because its energy requirements were microscopic. All that has changed: the exponential growth of cryptocurrencies has led to a dramatic increase in the sector’s energy consumption and a concentration of mining activities in countries with low social and environmental standards – where electricity is produced using predominantly fossil fuels. Even worse, the concentration of mining power in the hands of a couple of large corporations is distorting the formerly democratic decision-making process in these networks: changes in protocols and hard forks are in danger of being influenced by the economic interests of a few. Envion has developed a system of Mobile Mining Units (MMUs) that can tap electricity directly at the source: at hydro, solar, wind and fossil power plants in every corner of the planet. Our MMUs are based on standard intermodal (sea) containers, equipped with mining hardware, communication and industry 4.0 automation features, remote control capabilities and a break-through cooling system that only makes up ~1% of the system‘s total energy consumption. Altogether it’s a high-tech solution that can be seamlessly deployed globally and allows us to use the cleanest and cheapest energy mix wherever it is available. The flexibility of the MMU system helps us to fuse two of the most important sectors of the 21st century: blockchain technology and renewable energies. Using the dynamics of exponential growth for both, we promote climate preservation and the welfare of our token holders. It is the physical incarnation of the blockchain spirit: a robust and decentralized system that can withstand disruptions in government policies, price structures and the energy supply.

The solution envion provides has all the necessary competitive advantages, follows a decentralized approach and provides voting rights for an experience that has been under pressure from the concentration of mining power

CRYPTO20 white paper introduction
CRYPTO20 is an autonomous cryptocurrency-only portfolio composed by utilizing an index strategy. The token sale funding will be used to buy the underlying cryptocurrency assets and CRYPTO20 will hold the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. CRYPTO20 cuts out the middleman, the platform, and is thus able to offer significantly lower fees. Index funds have consistently beaten the average managed fund since their inception.

CRYPTO20 is not a platform, it is a fully functioning product and its token value is not based on speculation but rather the product benefits and net asset value of the 20 underlying cryptocurrencies. There are no broker fees, advice fees or exit fees. CRYPTO20’s utility token is called C20. It can be traded at any time, holdings are fully transparent and there are no legacy banking fees or expensive fund managers. C20 tokens are directly tied to the underlying assets with a novel liquidation option that can be exercised via the smart contract. This function ensures a greatest lower bound (infimum) on the market value of all tokens.

CRYPTO20 allows for access to a diverse cryptocurrency portfolio by holding a single token. The tokens will be tradable on exchange post-ICO and no further tokens will be issued. The top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization change, and so will CRYPTO20’s holdings. This rebalancing process allows for tracking of the cryptocurrency market index and is an effective risk mitigation strategy.

A cryptocurrency portfolio based on a hybrid index system consisting of the top 20 coins by market cap, with weekly rebalancing and a component cap of 10% produces a combination that has broad market exposure and acceptable turnover without allowing a single asset, and thus single source of risk, to dominate. This paper seeks to structure and justify our hypotheses and conclusions.

Abstract

The app economy has three main problems:

1. Advertising. Relies on many inefficient middlemen, increasing the cost of user acquisition for app developers, reducing transparency and generating fraudulent transactions. Nowadays, only 4% of the app downloads are triggered by advertising.

2. App monetisation and in-app purchases (IAP). Still not massified and can be costly. IAPs rely on payment methods and flows that are not accessible to many users. Especially in emerging markets where the transactions costs are high, with significant margins being taken by payment processors and other FinTech middlemen. Currently, only 5% of users purchase items in apps.

3. App approval. Inefficient process related with users’ cybersecurity and apps quality assurance that is currently being handled by each centralised app store with non-transparent flows and policies that affect developers’ and users’ trust.

The solution is AppCoins, an open and distributed protocol for app stores based on the Ethereum blockchain. It proposes to move all three flows to the blockchain. This removes intermediation and redistributes the value released in a way that creates incentives for end-users, developers and app stores alike.

In advertising, the protocol guarantees not only that the users install apps but that they pay attention to it for at least 2 minutes. AppCoins calls this Cost Per Attention (CPAt). The value invested by the developer in CPAt is used to award users with AppCoin tokens. IAP will grow with users using their earned AppCoins or by purchasing them through exchanges. App approvals are made universal and more transparent through a developer reputation system. The reputation is tied to the financial transactions on the public ledger and is auditable. A dispute system will be created so that AppCoin owners can vote to rank developers.

The AppCoins business model will have a considerable impact on the app economy. It enables a transition towards a circular economy, reusing value that was previously drained by intermediaries.

For now, the AppCoins protocol will focus on the Android market, which has 81.7% of market share.

The first app store to integrate the AppCoins protocol is Aptoide. With over 200 million active users, 4 billion downloads and 6 years on the market, it is one of the biggest third-party Android app stores.

Aptoide projects that more than 1.3 billion users will use app stores powered by AppCoins in 5 years.

MinexCoin is a global payment system built on the eponymous low-volatility crypto-asset regulated by an autonomous algorithm with methods proven in traditional financial markets. MinexCoin asset is a low-volatility cryptocurrency with predictable and dirigible price development. It may be employed both as a means of settlement and a means of saving. The long-term value of the coin is based on its annual growth of 33.6%. In order to reduce its volatility, such supply/demand regulation tools as market interventions and coin parking are used.

Abstract

VIBEHub is a technology platform with the capacity to create virtual reality marketplaces and hubs, allowing users to buy and sell experiences far beyond the possibilities of traditional technology. Imagine a virtual seat at a live concert that feels like you’re actually at the show or a virtual meet-and-greet with your favorite artist who lives 2000 miles away from you. VIBEHub makes it all possible. Lessons ranging from boxing, guitar and yoga are examples of this VR technology. The instructor can be scaled as life-sized or as small as a butter-fly instead of being limited to the confines of traditional technology. All transactions on these hubs will use our VIBE token, a cryptocurrency based on the Ethereum blockchain.

What elevates VIBEHub above traditional Virtual Reality applications is the ability to ncapture visual performances in Volumetric
Video (Holoportation Technology). Utilizing holograms of artists, educators or ninstructors and placing them in our own ncustom (VR) environments is what will ensure VIBEHub is at the forefront of (VR) technology for years to come.
