Dubloonz (DBZ) is an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency by a good friend of mine. Tied to this token is GhostKat, an Ethereum decentralized application that requires different amounts of DBZ to access different levels of the platform via "balance gates."
The test site loads WebTorrent-compatible magnet links posted to the GhostKat ledgers, which then are streamed via peer-2-peer file-sharing. The more users who stream, the more seeders there will be to pick up additional load, meaning far less reliance on a central host server. Posting the magnets on an Ethereum smart contract also means no single nation can censor access to GhostKat's ledgers (looking at you, China) if people have the smart contract information, unless they banned use of the entire blockchain platform.
The creator hopes to inspire more work in this direction and kick off a community that builds itself in the name of a more open and diverse internet. To advance this idea they are creating bounties in exchange for DBZ rewards to seed a 'Decentralized Autonomous Organization' (DAO) around GhostKat. There are only a few initial bounties as the creator is clueless whether there will be any interest. They're taking any and all input.
Otherwise, you may support the platform by exchanging ETH for DBZ by using the buy() function in the smart contract. If you are new to using Ethereum smart contracts, follow the tutorial at the link above.
The 'EKO' price is 1 DBZ per 1 ETH, and only 999 are currently up for exchange at a minimum buy price of 0.01 DBZ for 0.01 ETH. There are 3,999 DBZ total to begin (more can be minted), with 999 to be distributed to the community through bounties and giveaways, while the 999 up for exchange will provide resources for development, as they are currently very limited. I did the artwork and alpha testing to help them, and I'll probably help manage giveaways so keep an eye out.
Thank you!
