Features in depth

What is the Block Main Technical Features

The Block is a fully decentralised e-commerce marketplace, designed for privacy and low fees. It takes the form of a standalone app based on Ethereum’s smart contracts and uses the ETH currency for all payments except merchant listings. As a global application with minimal technical requirements for users, this is free trade at its most free.

BitBoost’s aim is to facilitate truly free trade on a global scale. Building on the work of almost three years, The Block is their solution: a totally peer-to-peer e-commerce experience, without unnecessary costs, geographical limitations or arbitrary restrictions.

Fully peer-to-peer solution

As a downloadable app that connects to the Ethereum blockchain, The Block relies on no centralised website or other service by design (the developers’ Ethereum node can be used for convenience, but is not necessary). This entirely decentralised approach means that there is no controlling party limiting trade, restricting payments or collecting users data.

Unlike traditional e-commerce companies, there are no massive server farms supporting the platform; this functionality has been outsourced to the blockchain. Consequently, these savings can be passed on to users and there is no case for imposing fees, advertising, collecting/selling personal information, and so on, to pay business costs. It also means that The Block will never go offline, since there is no single point of failure.

Payments

The Block takes the form of a downloadable app based on the Ethereum blockchain platform. For a seamless payment experience, it features an integrated Ether wallet. Almost all payments are made in ETH, which is a well-known and very popular currency. ETH rivals bitcoin for its trading volumes and liquidity, and confirmation times are significantly faster than bitcoin’s 10-minute blocks. All items will be purchased by consumers for ETH, and escrow fees will also be arranged in ETH. The only exception to ETH payments is for merchant listing fees. To create a viable revenue model for investors, these will be payable in the BitBoost Token (BBT), which will be sold at crowdsale. A flat fee of around $1 in BBT will be charged per item. Many of our readers ask about the Pi Network project. Does the Pi Network have value and price? The project is in an early stage and it is better to ask this question to its creators.

The Block’s internal wallet will be created from a user-generated password. Private keys will be stored encrypted, and on the user’s machine – no keys are held by the BitBoost team or third parties. To fund the wallet, users can send funds from an external wallet (or an exchange), or they can use the built-in ShapeShift integration to convert other cryptocurrencies on-the-fly. This still requires some familiarity with cryptocurrency, although recent developments have made it safer and more convenient to buy bitcoins from an exchange than ever before. Nevertheless, BitBoost expects to integrate direct fiat-to-crypto solutions in the future, when these become available and their reliability and safety have been fully established.

No blockchain download is necessary to operate The Block, though users can connect via a local Ethereum node if they prefer for additional privacy. This also allows them to conduct offline transactions, which will be processed when they come online again.

‘Registration’ and use

The BitBoost team created The Block out of an awareness of the shortcomings of the existing e-commerce model. This is dominated by large corporations such as Amazon and eBay. These have significant costs, including personnel, offices and server hosting. As a result, they not only impose relatively high charges on their users, in the form of commission fees for sales (which have to be passed onto customers). They also collect information for the purposes of advertising, which has become increasingly sophisticated in recent years. Online advertising is now highly intrusive, and the harvesting of personal data is endemic, extensive and often takes place without the user’s explicit consent.

The Block does not require any personal information for users to access its services. No email addresses are collected as a condition of registration/use. Merchants and customers create their own aliases when they begin using the platform. This can be anything – a name, an Ethereum address, even a random string of characters. BitBoost does not send messages to anyone as a matter of policy, and the absence of user information collected means there are few channels by which to do so anyway. Whilst merchants will need to upload images for their products, these can be hosted on free, private web services such as. This functionality is built into The Block for convenience.

Communication

Security is a paramount concern for BitBoost, since any leakage of information could compromise the privacy of The Block. HTTPS will be exclusively used for all external services – for example, the ShapeShift integration that enables customers to pay in any supported currency. This avoids the possibility of a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack, whereby a hacker places himself in between the source and destination of the information being sent, intercepting it before passing it on to its intended recipient (perhaps unchanged, perhaps tampered with). Tor integration is planned for a later iteration of The Block for additional security.

All communication is encrypted using a session key that is generated when an item is purchased. That is, a new key is generated for each interaction and the old one discarded; keys are not reused. This one-time key approach is more secure than using a single key,

User experience

The brief but remarkable history of cryptocurrency has shown that it is not enough to have a decentralised platform that offers fundamental advantages over the existing centralised equivalents. Users will not switch unless it is easy for them to do so, generally proving satisfied with familiar solutions until they are forced to change or the benefits far outweigh the time and effort of trying something new.

BitBoost believe that the cost and privacy benefits inherent in The Block offer not just incremental improvements but a qualitatively better e-commerce solution. However, this has to be matched with a comparable UX if customers and merchants are to make the effort to switch. E-commerce platforms such as Amazon and eBay offer extremely polished user experiences that make the browsing process as low-impact as possible. BitBoost have taken considerable pains to create a similarly attractive and frictionless UX. This includes instant search, so that the products recorded for sale on the Ethereum blockchain can be queried and returned in real time, updated as the user types what they are looking for. The UI is as clean and intuitive as the major e-commerce sites.

The Block is designed to be a truly global solution to e-commerce that can be used regardless of location. Financially it achieves this with the ‘universal currency’ of ETH. However, since there is no universal language, BitBoost havelocalised website content in more than 20 major global languages, with more on the way. User experience extends further than these factors, however. As a decentralised e-commerce platform, there is no censorship – indeed, it is not possible for BitBoost to restrict or edit what items are posted for sale. The history of bitcoin shows that one of the use cases for cryptocurrencies is purchases of drugs and other illegal items on the net’s dark markets. BitBoost do not condone the use of The Block for these purposes, and they recognise in any case that items that are legal in one jurisdiction might be illegal in another.

The solution to this is to include optional filters that hide items within the given search parameters that fall outside of the required criteria. BitBoost will provide a standard filter that will be enabled by default, to hide items that are illegal in most jurisdictions (for example, most recreational drugs). Third-party filters will be created and can restrict the display of items on different grounds, including legal, moral and religious. It is up to the user to activate these filters according to their preferences.

Another problem that arises from the lack of censorship – in this case, financial intervention – is what happens when there are problems in the sales/delivery process. Whilst The Block’s peer-to-peer design has enormous benefits, it is fundamentally different to the typical model and raises questions regarding dispute resolution. The Block will use a built-in reputation system and escrow to address this problem.

To begin with, The Block will protect buyers and sellers with a system that scores users on reliability and trustworthiness based on feedback after completed transactions. This is similar to the system that eBay and many other e-commerce platforms use; merchants who offer consistently high-quality products, good communication and prompt and reliable delivery will naturally receive better feedback, and their enhanced reputation will lead to future business. This crowd-sourced reputation system will provide a first line of defence against substandard merchants and outright scammers.

Secondly, The Block features a new form of smart contract-based arbitration in the event of a dispute. Sellers can select an escrow partner. Like everyone else, escrows are rated based on feedback, so the best, fairest and most reliable escrows will become clear over time. Payment is lodged with an escrow at the time of purchase, but these funds are locked by smart contract and arbiters are only paid if their services are required. Otherwise, in the event of a smooth purchase and delivery, funds are returned to the buyer.

Features in Depth

BETA Features, Available Now:

Decentralized Decentralized

The App has no centralized authority - it's built on the Ethereum blockchain using smart contracts. Transactions are completed in a trustless manner, with no third party involvement, which means no one has to rely on trust for the system to work. Transactions cannot be censored. Listed items are available at all times, to everyone, with no need for sellers to stay online 24/7, since The App runs on thousands of computers worldwide. This makes it resistant to the kinds of attacks that force conventional websites offline. Decentralization equals greater privacy, freedom, and stability.

Protected Funds Protected Funds

Trading over an anonymous, decentralized system poses a challenge - how do you know you can trust other users? The App provides an escrow system, guaranteed by BitBoost. Buyers send payments to this escrow system. Payments are released to sellers only when goods have arrived as expected. Any disagreements will be handled through arbitration, further reducing risk. BitBoost's escrow system allows sellers to designate any provider they wish to serve as their escrow agent.

Absolute Privacy Absolute Privacy

Although transactions will be on the blockchain, The App is fully encrypted. Messages between buyer and seller are encrypted, and personal information (such as shipping address) is also encrypted by default. Your information is protected from any kind of leak or attack.

Low Fees Low Fees

Due to its unique architecture, The App is able to reduce our fees to 1 USD (in BitBoost tokens) per listing. The App doesn’t charge a fee to purchase items. Even image hosting is free, and The App takes no percentage from your final sale price.

Stable And Fast Stable And Fast

Features like searching are instant, as you type. BitBoost has enhanced The App with caching servers around the world to speed up interactions with the Ethereum blockchain.

Easy Payments Easy Payments

The App has a built-in wallet that stores ether, the native currency of Ethereum. Purchases are made directly from this wallet, and sales revenue goes directly into it. Users can buy ether from within The App using BTC.

Customizable Customizable

Our App is available as a native app on all major desktop platforms: Windows, macOS, and Linux. The app includes support for themes and even comes with two themes built in. Users can bookmark searches, sellers, and items, for later use. And, more options are planned.

Global Global Marketplace

At launch, our app will support 20 languages, with more to come. The BitBoost team wants to lower barriers to trade. We feel that access to a global marketplace is an option every human being should have.

LIVE Version Features
Coming in Q2 2018:

Arbitration Arbitration

In the case of a dispute between buyer and seller, an arbitration service is available. We encourage sellers to choose an arbiter, as it increases the trust level for buyers and also the probability that purchases will be made. If both parties dispute a transaction, the seller will pay the arbiter out of the escrowed funds. For buyers, arbitration is always free of charge.

Filters Filters

To make Our App as inviting as possible to all users, BitBoost will maintain an optional filter that will be turned on by default. It will filter out items that are illegal everywhere, as well as sellers with extremely poor reputations. Ultimately, the choice of what you see should be made by you, so we have left plenty of room for customization.

Third Party Themes Third Party Themes

BitBoost has included 2 themes already, light and dark, to help users see in different environments. We are also building support for customization, which means you will be able to use our source code to create themes of your own to use with The App. Make templates on any theme, even winter themes with icons in any format, for example snowflake icon png. Time to get creative!

Privacy Level Settings Privacy Level Settings

Users will always have access to a remote copy of The App, maintained by BitBoost, which provides a level of privacy that will meet the needs of almost all users. But, by the time The App moves to the Ethereum live blockchain, you will have the option of using your own copy of the Ethereum blockchain for even greater privacy. Choose the arrangement that works best for you.

Aliases Naming System

When you first log into The App, you are asked to create an account and a wallet. This process generates an Ethereum address for you, which is also your identity on The App. If you do not wish to be known to other users by your Ethereum address, you will have the ability to choose a Sig, short for "signature" or "designation". You can also assign Nametags to other users, to help you remember them, but only you will see your Nametags.

Additional Languages Additional Languages

During our beta testing period, we already have 20 languages available for The App. We plan to add as many as we can over the lifetime of our app, so that our marketplace is as globally friendly as possible. If you'd like to contribute translation services for a language we don't yet have, get in touch with us. We'd love to hear from you!

Planned Features
Coming After Live Release:

Mobile Versions Enhanced Mobile Versions

We're very excited to be building mobile versions of The App for iOS and Android. This is a feature that is at the top of our planned features list, because mobile devices are so important to our users. You should have the freedom to choose when and where you use The App. (We're looking forward to it too!)

Reputation System Reputation System

Every seller and buyer will have a reputation rating derived from their conduct during every transaction. Users with a low or negative reputation score may be filtered out, in order to protect other users from fraud and wasted time. This reputation system will encourage legitimate merchants and customers to act honestly and to build up a solid reputation. Arbiters will also be rated.

Tor Integration Tor Integration

The Tor Project has been a boon to millions of people, and for some of our users, Tor is the only way they can use the internet in safety and privacy. We will support the Tor protocol within The App, so that everyone can peacefully trade in private.

Fiat Payments Fiat Payments

Ether, like all cryptocurrencies, is volatile, changing in value on a daily basis, relative to national currencies like the dollar and the euro. To improve your experience with The App, BitBoost is developing an integrated payment system that works like ether, but converts to currencies (like the dollar and euro) at a ratio of 1:1. Finally, items can be priced in a national currency, and you will know exactly how much you're spending or being paid.

Multiple WalletsMultiple Wallets

You may wish to maintain different wallets and aliases for different family members, or for yourself. Multiple wallet support will let you do this, so you can keep some of your money and transactions segregated from others.

Third Party Filters Third Party Filters

We understand that our users have different needs and desires, based on where they live, their personality, their religion, and many other factors. We invite the community to create a wide array of filters that will satisfy the needs of everyone. You will have the chance to get creative; build filters that will benefit the global community, or maybe just build one for yourself!

BitBoost Announces Token Sale for The Block

We at BitBoost are happy to announce the dates for the token pre-sale of The Block, our marketplace built on the Ethereum blockchain. We will offer BitBoost Tokens, called BBT, that will be needed to sell items through The Block. Pre-sale will begin on September 18th. Our main sale will be held in October.

The Block is a blockchain-based marketplace, built on the Ethereum public blockchain. The BitBoost token (BBT) will provide sellers with listing power: BBT will be used to pay the listing fee, in order to sell items on The Block. A total of 100 millions tokens will be issued on the Ethereum blockchain using a smart contract. Our BitBoost token (BBT) will comply with the ERC20 standard and will be freely transferable on the Ethereum platform. These tokens will be the only BBT ever issued. Token allocation during the sale will be as follows:

  1.  25 million BBT (25%) will be sold in the forthcoming token pre-sale. BitBoost aims to raise $5 million in this initial funding round. Subsequent token sales will be made at significantly higher prices.
  2.  41 million BBT (41%) will be reserved for the main token sale and future token sales and activities (see below).
  3.  12 million BBT (12%) will be reserved for future contributors (see below).
  4.  10 million BBT (10%) will be reserved for the founding team and partners, of which 8 million (8%) will not be tradeable for one year.
  5.  5 million BBT (5%) will be reserved for early angel token owners and advisors, of which 3 million (3%) will not be tradeable for one year.
  6.  5 million BBT (5%) will be reserved for existing NxT Freemarket holders.
  7.  2 million BBT (2%) will be reserved for bounty campaigns.

As stated above, 41 million BBT will be reserved for the main token sale. If part of these tokens are not sold during the main token sale, they will be used for future sales and will be locked for a minimum period of one year. These remaining tokens will be sold at a significantly higher price than the initial pre-sale of 25 million and the main-sale tokens. They may specifically be used for:

  1.  Continuous business development of the BitBoost ecosystem after the launch of The Block, including strategic or business users, or token swaps with other blockchain and distributed ledger projects.
  2.  Legal fees, compliance, accounting, and consultancy expenses necessary to ensure that BitBoost continues to operate in a lawful and commercially sound manner.
  3.  Various marketing and promotional activities for BitBoost, such as media exposure, events, and PR.

Compensation for future contributors to The Block from the 12 million tokens reserved for this purpose is at the sole discretion of the founding team. Details regarding future asset sales or related joint ventures to fund the development of The Block advanced features will be announced in due course. The global promotion of the platform will be addressed at a later time, once all features outlined in the roadmap have been implemented.

For further information, please read our white paper. If you are interested in our token sale, please subscribe below to our token sale mailing list. We will send you updated information about this matter on a regular basis. Thank you for joining us on this first step to redefine e-commerce!!

FAQ

About The App

What is The App?

The App is an app developed by BitBoost. It is a global, encrypted, online marketplace where you can buy and sell with privacy. For a good introduction, check out our video above.

How does The App work?

The App is an application that you install on your computer. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is built on the smart contract blockchain Ethereum, and is therefore completely decentralized.

How can I use it?

To use Our App, just download and install the application, and then create a Wallet. You can load your Wallet from within the application.

Do I need to register to use The App?

No, there is no registration process, and you do not need to disclose any personal information. You only need to create an Ether wallet, which is part of the initial setup process when you run The App for the first time. Ether wallets are anonymous.

Why should I use The App instead of another service?

Tired of having your personal data collected and sold to third parties? Concerned about the risk of data hackers? Our App doesn’t collect or sell your information. Using our app reduces your risk and protects your privacy. Also, do you like low fees? Our App charges very low fees compared to many other markets. Improve your profit margin!

Is The App anonymous/private?

The App does not require any personal information, nor does it track you in any way. Transactions are written to a public blockchain (Ethereum), but accounts are anonymous. By using best practices, you can keep your account anonymous if you choose.

Are internal messages encrypted?

Yes. Messages between buyer and seller, including address and shipping method, are encrypted.

What if The App is not available in my language?

We want Our App to be available in as many languages as possible. If you are able to translate into your native language from English, please contact us.

How can I refill my wallet?

It is possible to fill or refill your Wallet in two ways. Once you have created your Wallet, you may either send Ether to it directly, or you may buy Ether from within the Wallet, using Bitcoin.

Can I create more than one wallet?

Not yet, but multiple wallet support is planned.

Buying and Selling

What can I sell?

You may sell anything that complies with the Terms of Use. You must agree to these Terms before you can buy or sell using The App. For example it can be services similar to services of Taas stock companies.

Can I buy/sell illegal items?

BitBoost does not encourage or support the sale of illegal items. Be aware that The App is built on a public blockchain, and law enforcement can track illegal items. Do not use The App for criminal activity.

The App is a global marketplace. Not every item is illegal, or legal, in every jurisdiction. The Terms of Use require that you comply with your local laws, which is your responsibility when listing items for sale. Use the provided filter, which is turned on by default, to avoid seeing potentially illegal items.

What happens to my listings if I am offline?

Your item listing lives on the Ethereum blockchain, so you do not need to be online for your item to be found by shoppers and purchased.

What are the fees?

The listing fee for an item is only 1 USD, paid in BitBoost tokens. The BitBoost token fee will be adjusted frequently to stay as close to 1 USD as possible. The price of a BitBoost token will depend on the market. Unlike other popular markets, The App takes no percentage from your final sale price.

Can I use BTC or other coins?

Not at the moment. However, you may buy Ether using Bitcoin from within your App Wallet. We are investigating how to offer support for other currencies, including Bitcoin and Komodo.

What if I lose my password?

Your password is important. Do not lose or forget your password, or you will be unable to access your Ether. Since The App is completely private, the developers will never have access to your information or passwords. They cannot help you if you lose your password, so be careful.

How does escrow work?

If a seller chooses to offer an item for sale with escrow protection, then the seller must select an “Arbiter.” When a buyer purchases an item with escrow protection, then his funds do not go directly to the seller, but instead are locked in escrow. The Arbiter is a third party who takes control of the escrowed funds in the event that the buyer or the seller opens a dispute. It is the job of the Arbiter to review the dispute and distribute the escrowed funds as he sees fit. If there is no dispute and the buyer and seller both finalize the transaction, then the escrowed funds are released to the seller automatically, with no Arbiter involvement.

Other Questions

Why is it necessary to log in?

It is necessary to log in to unlock your Wallet. Your Wallet is protected by your password, so you may only buy or sell if you logged in first. In other words, you are logging in to access your own Wallet, which stored on your own computer.

What is a Filter?

Filters are a way for you to control which items you see in The App. There is no censorship in The App, but some items are filtered from view by default through blacklisting. The BitBoost-maintained filter is turned on by default, but it is possible for you to turn it off if you want to see a completely unfiltered view of all items available in The App.

How do I turn filters on/off?

Filter controls are in the Preferences section of the application.

What is a third-party filter?

While the developers provide a single, default filter, it will be possible for you to subscribe to more than one filter. For example, you may wish to subscribe to a filter which only removes items that are illegal in your jurisdiction, or that are inappropriate for children, or that are forbidden by your religion. We hope that providers will make a wide variety of third-party filters available.

How can I subscribe to a third-party filter?

You will be able to subscribe to filters in the Preferences section of the application.

Is there a reputation system?

Yes, you can rate both buyers and sellers on The App. Reputations are important in establishing user confidence. We will be making every effort to improve this system as we go, to ensure as much user integrity as possible.

What features are in development?

Check out our page on Planned Features and also take a look at our Technical Roadmap to find out when implementations will occur.

What if I have an idea for a new feature?

Be sure to check the Planned Features, to make sure your idea is not already in development. You may send feature requests from within The App application, using the Feedback feature, or by writing to us.

How can I report a bug?

You may report bugs within The App application using the Feedback feature, on the BitBoost forum, or via email us

About BitBoost

Where are you based?

BitBoost is based and incorporated in Zug, Switzerland. Our team, however, is global.

How long have you been around?

Some members of the team have been working together for over ten years. The first e-commerce blockchain app we released was in 2015. BitBoost as a company was officially incorporated in early 2017.

Who are the developers?

The core development team is:
Andrew Lekar, Smart Contract Developer
Paul Mahone, Lead UI Developer
Max Sergeev, Application Architect

Why make an e-commerce app?

We strongly believe in the power of trade to change peoples' lives. We envision a global economy in which all participants can do business with each other peacefully, efficiently, and privately, regardless of their location and without interference, censorship, or high fees. We will work with the community to develop The App and meet these goals.

Are you hiring?

If you have skills related to Smart Contracts, cryptography, Angular 2, or UI/UX design, we’d like to hear from you. We are always looking for new language translators to help us localize The App for as many regions as possible. And, if you have an idea for making The App a better app, talk to us. We might have a spot for you.

Are you looking for advisors?

We are looking for Advisors who have experience in e-commerce and are familiar with blockchain technology. Those with banking connections would also be extremely helpful to our long-term goals.

How do I buy an item on The App?

First, you purchase the item by clicking the Buy button. Ether will be withdrawn from your wallet and placed in escrow. The seller must approve the purchase and send you the item. Finally, both you and the seller must mark the transaction as completed for the seller to be paid, or either one of you may open a dispute with your selected Arbiter instead.

Where can I find information about Arbiters?

A list of known Arbiters will be available at the BitBoost website soon.

How can I become an Arbiter?

To act as an Arbiter, a seller simply has to use your Ethereum address as the “Arbitration Provider” when listing an item. Any disputes will then fall to you for resolution, and you will have control of the escrowed funds. It is up to you to set your fees, but understand that you will be competing with other Arbiters for sellers’ business.
