Blockchain Ventures is an experimental blockchain project aiming for self-sustained growth and development.

Blockchain Ventures Operations

Blockchain Ventures will acquire stakes in other blockchains or blockchain related projects that it views to be either undervalued or showing great potential. Blockchain Ventures will attempt to minimize exposure to failure through proper assessment and diversification.
For initial launch purposes, Blockchain Ventures has acquired stakes in the following blockchains or blockchain related projects.

-

Funds are kept on exchange for now unless wallet address is provided.
Value will be determined by most liquid exchange and average between bid and ask.
Operations will scale up over time and new ventures will be pursued.
Funds used for operations will go back towards operations.

Normal operation structure

25% of profits put into Blockchain Ventures Development Fund (XBVDF).
35% of profits put towards the value of XBV: 25% put towards buying back XBV which will then be burned,
10% put towards XBV stabilization fund (XBVSF).
30% of profits going back into XBV operations
10% of profits going to XBV Team

Blockchain Ventures Stabilization Fund (XBVSF)

BTC Address -

A fund to provide liquidity and stability in value for Blockchain Ventures.
60% on exchange at minimum target (MinT) for liquidity
40% off exchange, available for anyone who wants to exchange their XBV at market value
(XBV exchanged this way will be burned)
MinT will be determined based on the status of Blockchain Venture and ongoing operations.

MinT = ___ BTC/XBV

Burn Address -

0 XBV Burned

The burn address for which the XBV to be burned will be sent to is xe2EibataUsN8Vop3nV7JhHUWTRgjsstjs.

This address is a p2sh address with a redeemscript of

Code:

OP_2 OP_3 OP_EQUAL

which is an unspendable script because 2 does not equal 3 and thus will always fail.
In hex this is

Code:

525387

Anyone can verify this with the command

Code:

decodescript 525387

in the command console.

Example of operations

XBVs START position was acquired for 0.0001 BTC/START.
START rises to 0.0002 BTC and the position is fully liquidated.
10,000 START acquired at 0.0001 BTC/START = 1 BTC.
10,000 START liquidated at 0.0002 BTC/START = 2 BTC.

1 BTC + 1 BTC in profits = 2 BTC.
   - 1 BTC goes back to operations for Blockchain Ventures
   - 0.25 BTC goes to XBVDF
   - 0.25 BTC goes to buying XBV and burning
   - 0.1 BTC goes to XBVSF
   - 0.3 BTC goes back into XBV Operations
   - 0.1 BTC goes to XBV Team

Blockchain Ventures Development
BTC Address -

A fund for the sustained and ongoing development of technical features for XBV.
By analyzing the technical developments of other cryptocurrencies, Blockchain Ventures will pick and choose features that are best suited for the long-term success of XBV, making full use of the second mover advantage.
Input from XBV community will be taken into account so please discuss or suggest what features you need/like in a cryptocurrency.
Funding for all development will come from the Blockchain Ventures Development Fund (XBVDF).
Developers will be brought on or contracted to provide addition of technical features for XBV.
For launch purposes a developer was contracted to create a simple functional PoS cryptocurrency for Blockchain Ventures (V.1).
There are plans to migrate or swap to an improved blockchain (V.2) in the near future once operations are established and running smoothly.

Technical features for possible implementation in V.2
- Deposit function for blockchain that enables up to 5 10% PoS per annum depending on how long deposit is (Ref. XDN, HODL)
- API integration into wallet to allow for live updates and monitoring of Blockchain Ventures
- 0.1% Transaction fee and burning to counteract inflation while incentivizing staking and holding
- Proposal and voting functionality

Example of distribution after donation period ends

Operation funding = 6 BTC
Donations received = 4.5 BTC

If profits from operations at end of donation period = 2 BTC
- 60% goes to operation funding (1.2 BTC)
- 20% goes to XBVSF (0.4 BTC)
- 20% goes to XBVDF (0.4 BTC)

Total operation funding on April 23, 2016 = 6 + 1.2 = 7.2 BTC.

At the end of donation period ≈ 950,000 XBV will be split between 7.2 + 4.5 BTC (≈ 81,200 XBV/BTC).
