BOScoin: Self-Evolving Cryptocurrency Platform
BOScoins decision-making process will be made by a Democratic Congress where node operators will have one vote for each node. BOScoin holders who want more than one vote will have to forgo rewards and need to have a separate IP address for each node they control.
BOScoin constitutes a governance system whereby node operators referred to as the Congress Network can participate in creating and voting on proposals in order to continuously improve the software and ecosystem. The Congress Network interacts with non-congress users in three ways; transactions, proposals and coin freezing.
You will be regarded as a Congress member if you meet the following criteria:
a) You have Internet access with stable network speeds.
b) You freeze at least four units of BOScoin (40,000 coins).
c) You participate in voting.
New coins are issued in four ways;
Initial development budget (0.5bil, 10%),
Confirmation rewards(1.8bil, 36%),
Freezing rewards(0.9bil, 18%)
The Commons Budget(1.8bil, 36%).
Boscoin aim to issue a total of 5.0 billion coins over the next 100 years. These values are subject to change.
Each year freezing rewards will decrease by 5%, confirmation rewards will decreased by 6.1% and a transaction fee of 0.01 BOScoin will be charged per transaction, 70% of the transaction fee will be rewarded to node operators and 30% will be used to fund the Commons budget.
Congress members vote on proposals that are put forward by anyone holding a wallet that seeks funding from the Commons budget that want to build something on BOScoin's platform or promote BOScoin in any kind of way, there are two types of proposals:
Systems proposals.
Funding proposals.
Systems proposals are proposals that automatically change the code of the BOScoin platform and funding proposals are proposals that seek funding from the Commons budget, proposals need to pass by more than 10% to automatically get the funds requested. The main role of the Commons budget is to expedite growth of the coin in the early stages of its life.
BOScoin aims to launch with 2 ready-made apps:
Stardaq (and international celebrity popularity prediction market)
Delicracy (a collective decision-making tool that can be used by any organisation).
These applications serve as outlets to spend BOScoins and serve as channels for air dropping free coins.
Trust Contracts
Trust Contracts are securely executable contracts based on a decidable programming framework called owlchain, which consists of the Web Ontology Language(OWL) and the Timed Automata Language(TAL). Trust Contracts aim to overcome the issues regarding non-decidable smart contracts by using a more contained and comprehensible programming framework which provides secure and decidable transactions of contracts.
The owlchain’s hierarchy was designed as a general blockchain model to accommodate multiple ontology models. The owlchain combines the feature of the reasoner and consensus protocol to handle the Trust Contract.
The Congress Network interacts with non-congress users in three ways; transactions, proposals and coin freezing
Transactions
When a transaction of digital assets is requested by a user, the request is sent to the Congress Network. For a simple transfer of BOScoin, when a node confirms the block –roughly every 5 seconds– the user’s transactions will be confirmed, and the BOScoin will be transferred to another walletProposals
Proposals are Commons Budget spending plans that are submitted to the Congress Network. When a proposal is made, the ‘net percentage point difference’ between the positive and negative votes must exceed 10% for the proposal to be passed. When the proposal is passed, the requested coins will be sent to the proposerCoin Freezing
Coin Freezing is a Proof of Stake concept where if a user locks-in their coins and in return they will receive interest based on the number of coins frozen and the length of time the coins are stored. Frozen coins are used as collateral in case of attempted forgery of the blockchain
