Bringing Stockmarket Exchange Quality and Convenience to Cryptocurrency Trading

CURRENT PROTOCOLS & ISSUES
At present, cryptocurrencies are scattered across multiple exchanges, which means that users are often required to sign up to multiple platforms. This causes inconvenience and trust issues for users, as well as missed trading opportunities due to time lapse whilst funds are in transit between different exchange platforms.

OUR SOLUTION
Blockbid is an ultra-secure cryptocurrency trading platform with the goal of facilitating the highest volume of trades from the most cryptocurrencies on one platform. No more having to register and login to several exchanges or use poor quality exchanges just because they are the only platform to list a coin you have researched and wish to purchase.
Listing will be free for all coins, and in addition, we will proactively approach the teams behind each current coin and new coins as they are created to arrange listing.

We also plan to solve the inconvenience of needing one provider to exchange fiat to Bitcoin/Litecoin/Ethereum, and another to purchase and trade the hundreds of smaller altcoins, by accepting fiat currencies directly.

CORE OBJECTIVES
  • Trade all CoinMarketCap coins with an up to date blockchain on our exchange
  • Ease of access — catering to new and experienced traders
  • Security built from the ground up
  • Operating in accordance with AML/CTF Act
  • Low fee, feature rich, intuitive trading platform
WHY BLOCKBID?
  • Trade with the highest number of cryptocurrencies available on one exchange
  • Low transaction fees
  • All cryptocurrency assets are insured
  • Fully compliant with Australian AML/CTF Act
  • All funds are secured by multi-signature wallets

BENEFITS OF USING BLOCKBID TOKENS ON OUR EXCHANGE

Blockbid tokens can be used on the Blockbid exchange to reduce the transaction costs of trading by 100% during year 1, and a 50% discount thereafter.

HOW TO PURCHASE BLOCKBID TOKENS
Blockbid tokens will be for sale at our ICO which you can participate in by entering your email under the Join ICO section of our website www.blockbid.com.au

Users can transfer ether to the address we will provide in exchange for Blockbid tokens. The ICO value of Blockbid tokens will be:
Week 1: 1 ETH = 360 BID
Week 2: 1 ETH = 340 BID
Week 3: 1 ETH = 320 BID
Week 4: 1 ETH = 300 BID

The minimum contribution is 0.1 ETH and the maximum is 100 ETH per transaction. Final BID per ETH ratio will be adjusted according to ETH price to ensure cost per BID in USD terms is no higher than it would be at a USD$250 ETH price. Blockbid will endeavour to lock final Blockbid token price as close to $1USD = 1 BID. Participants will receive a MINIMIM 8–20% bonus during initial weeks of ICO.

SOFT & HARD CAPS
The soft cap for the Blockbid ICO is 1 million tokens. In the event that the Blockbid ICO does not achieve this, all participant funds will be promptly refunded. No more than 30 million Blockbid tokens will be created and we will not be accepting more payments if this token count is achieved.

HOW ARE THE GENERATED TOKENS DISTRIBUTED?
The generated tokens will be distributed at a rate of 80:20 between general sale and Blockbid. From Blockbid’s 20%, founders and team members will retain 12% and 8% will be available for bounties and rewards post-ICO.

USE OF FUNDS
Proceeds raised from the ICO will be used to fund platform development and expansion coinciding with anticipated strong user growth. 15% of of all funds raised during the ICO will be kept in cold storage.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BLOCKBID TOKENS ONCE YOU’VE USED THEM?
We will redistribute all of the redeemed tokens back to the Blockbid trading community free of charge in the form of rewards. Some examples of rewards can be in the form of referrals or continued support of our exchange.

90% Reduction in Maximum Coin Supply

Blockbid is pleased to announce that it has reduced its maximum coin supply from 30m tokens to 3m tokens. This decision has been made following investor feedback and to ensure investor confidence.

This will be done by pausing the smart contract once 3m tokens are sold. As before, our soft cap remains at 1m tokens. If this figure is not achieved, all ETH received is automatically refunded via the smart contract.

The initially planned and stated maximum potential coin supply of 30m, if the ICO was fully subscribed, would result in a Blockbid market cap of approx USD$20m, which is higher than justified given our relatively early stage of development.

The original hard cap was formulated to provide adequate supply for a large number of traders to receive free or discounted brokerage on our exchange, as no additional coins will ever be minted.

We also feel it is important to only raise the funds that are required to build the exchange, and USD$2m will be sufficient for this. If further funds are required in addition to USD$2m, they will be raised via private equity.

With a reduced maximum supply of 3m tokens, the highest possible market cap Blockbid can attain based on ICO pricing is approx USD$2m; this figure is commensurate with our current stage of progress.

This will support BID token value upon commencement of trading, which will be shortly after ICO completion on one or more of the many existing exchanges.

Blockbid is and will continue to be highly attentive to user and investor feedback, and one of our primary concerns is to ensure that the on-market value of our tokens meets or exceeds the price paid by ICO participants.

With this adjustment, the maximum market cap and coin supply upon commencement of trading will be 90% lower than stated in our initial ICO announcement.

The whitepaper and all future press releases will also be amended.

If you wish to participate in the ICO you will require an Ethereum wallet such as MEW.

The ICO participation link and Ethereum address to send ETH to can be found at https://blockbid.com.au

Blockbid is pleased to reveal our Demonstration User Interface for our upcoming exchange launch.

There will be many more features implemented for and during beta testing, and many more again in preparation for public launch.

We welcome and encourage all feedback and criticism. Also bear in mind that for live launch we intend to provide the user with a choice of colour scheme (as opposed to simple night/day mode offered by some current exchanges).

Thanks again for all your support and let’s continue to work together to make Blockbid the best exchange that Crypto has ever seen.
