Why choose Flipstarter?
On April 17, Flipstarter initiated fundraising for the full-node projects Bitcoin ABC, BCHN, BCHD, Bitcoin Verde, and Knuth of the BCH community. The total fundraising was 3039 BCH , and the BU team refused because of sufficient funds. The fundraising plan. The fundraising also quickly brought the Flipstarter project to the public's perspective. The birth of the project stems from the criticism of some developers in the community on IFP (BCH Basic Financing Program). Assisted in creating the financing platform Flipstarter and BCH full node project BCHN.
Flipstarter provides a new method of project financing, which can not only incentivize projects to increase credibility, but also treat donors fairly. The biggest feature of the platform is that it does not require custody. It has already cooperated with charity organization EatBCH. The platform will fully display the use of funds raised by the project and the results that can be accepted, so that the use of raised funds is more open and transparent.
The platform uses the Assurance Contract (AC) mechanism, a game theory mechanism for solving public construction, collective action, and free-riding problems. It is also a financial technology. That is, a group of people, under binding conditions, agreed to donate collectively to a project if the total amount reached a certain amount. If the total amount is raised before the deadline, the project will be funded; vice versa, participants don't need to donate and can get back donated funds. That is to say, if these five full-node projects did not raise the set amount within the stipulated time, BCH will automatically be refunded to the user, and the fund-raising declaration failed. Of course, if the fundraising goal is completed within the stipulated time, the excess BCH will also be automatically returned to the user.
