This could be really neat. I rather wish you'd focus energy on fewer ventures and really follow them through, but the blockchain offers great potential for land titles. Come on now, one bottle of wine got you this Forbes guy? If you need to send him a case, I'll chip in.

The Bitland Team has been working on this project for over 2 years now. We recently partnered with Openledger to work with one of the most prolific teams in the digital currency realm, and in that regard Ronny has been a tremendous force to help the project. I cannot express how awesome it is to work with Ronny, and in that regard, he is truly a visionary and a pioneer.

Cheers!

How can we invest?

As a Ghanaian (and Ghanaian real estate agent), I'm familiar with Bitland, Brok and Narigamba. Looking forward to some massive collaborations.

Funnily enough, Ghana was the no. 1 regional result for bitcoin on google trends a couple of days ago.

On top of all you have now a tutorial for all to use funding your OpenLedger account with bitcoin:

Bitland is one of the project that will take BitShares in another level. These are the reason BitShares community should support this project :

1- Ghana is one of the leading Bitcoin community in Africa - https://news.bitcoin.com/ghana-interested-bitcoin/
2- Bitcoin as a means of exchange is in High need in Africa
3- Lands titles are Huge Issue in Africa, the Bitland team understand these issues and have started building Bitland ambassadors in other African countries
4- Supporting this project means Success for Bitshares as people will want to know more about crypto-currencies (even local officials and government). And when they understand the power of crypto-currency, sky is the limit in how this can go far in local communities an rural areas.
5- This is a long term project and have a look at it as VC's going for something that could turn out very BIG. If we support this project BitShares will have a HUGE foodstep in Africa
6- In Africa good news go very fast! I've visited these countries (Ghana, Togo, Nigeria) and know how locals work and operate when the see something that can empower their communities.

I believe the right number of Faustino 1 was two bottles, and year 2001, they were were very nice.

From the Whitepaper

"4 Million tokens will be set aside to sell directly to governments as the entry tokens to list contracts.
Governments will utilize the Bitland GUI to list contracts and create requests for bids
that can then be listed for a contractor to claim. The Bitland System will utilize a double-blind
bidding system so that the Government does not know who is bidding for the contract, and the
bidder does not know the specific region of the contract or the owner of the contract. This will
be to keep the process from being corrupted through nepotism, inflated bidding, or funds going
to only a specific region."

interesting project!

in your whitepaper you show how much you need to spend, but not how you will make money. Do you have projections or
information how you will make money?

To be quite honest, it was left out intentionally because the potential for profit is too high to believe. Half of the arable land in the world is on the African continent. If this pilot project is successful, we are literally talking trillions of dollars of potential capital. The project is starting as a non-profit initiative that will establish the infrastructure, as the system must be unbiased and agnostic in order for this to be fair and work long term.

The profit model for Bitland is to get working infrastructure in the pilot as an example, then contract out the program and tech to governments. Essentially, we want government entities to pay for themselves to become transparent, not the people. There are 4 million tokens set aside to be sold directly to governments to support long term expansion. It is talked about in the white paper if you get a chance to look over it.

Cheers!

This seems to compete with Factom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYQ5icxGvmA

@ccedk that's free advertising right there. Ride the train.

Not at all! Factom is a record keeping mechanism that is a general database essentially. It can be applied to anything that needs to keep records. This protocol will be specifically for keeping track of land, and allowing users to survey land and submit the surveys with a mobile device.

The only thing it has in common with Factom is that they both have records attached to a blockchain. Other than that aspect, they are really not going for the same demographic of user.

Cheers!
