LocalCoinSwap
(LCS) is a decentralised marketplace which allows buyers and sellers to trade
directly in any cryptocurrency using any method of payment. LocalCoinSwap
provides a safe, uncomplicated and fast peer-to-peer (P2P) trading platform,
allowing users to freely exchange without unnecessary verification requirements
or waiting times. The platform utilises a secure escrow system that solves the
inherent trust issues of online P2P trading. LocalCoinSwap is holding a
crowdsale event of LCS Cryptoshares. Cryptoshares are a digital asset which
will be used to facilitate distribution of all profits made by the
LocalCoinSwap platform, in addition to all profits made by new business
ventures under the LocalCoinSwap umbrella. Cryptoshare holders will additionally
receive airdrops of new ICO tokens listed on the LocalCoinSwap platform.
The platform
implements a novel approach to traditional company ownership by utilising
blockchain technology to distribute the entirety of the site's profits to
holders of LCS Cryptoshares. This asset entitles investors to regular dividend
payments denominated in all of the currencies traded on the platform. Holders
of the Cryptoshare may also participate in the long run vision and decision
making of the company itself through democratic voting in a proofof-stake
system. This replicates the dividend payments and shareholder voting of
traditional companies, with the added benefits of blockchain technology and
decentralisation.

Cryptoshare
overview
LCS
Cryptoshares are not like traditional ICO tokens. Instead of a vague promise of
possible future returns or idealistic visions which may never eventuate into
product, Cryptoshares entitle the holders to guaranteed rights to 100% of the
total profits from the Localcoinswap exchange through cryptocurrency dividends.
Cryptocurrency profits are paid to shareholders in the same cryptocurrencies in
which they are made, allowing the investor to receive a regular stream of
portfolio income. By holding a single Cryptoshare asset, the investor is
entitled to a wide variety of cryptocurrency profits across the entire spectrum
of the digital economy.
Cryptoshare
holders are also entitled to receive airdrops of new tokens when ICO’s are
listed on the LocalCoinSwap platform. In addition, LCS Cryptoshares entitle the
holder to voting rights in the platform’s decisionmaking process, such as the
listing of new tokens on the exchange, the direction of new business ventures
and design considerations or functionalities for the platform. Cryptoshares in
LocalCoinSwap are more than just a stream of dividends, by investing you become
an integral part of the future of the exchange itself.
Dividend and
voting tokens
Profits from
the exchange are calculated and distributed at the end of each fiscal period.
The total issuance of dividend and voting tokens will be the same as the total
supply of LCS Cryptoshares. These tokens are then issued to holders of LCS
Cryptoshares on a 1-to-1 ratio. When dividend and voting tokens are redeemed
they are destroyed by the contract they are broadcast to in order to prevent
malicious attempts to claim extra funds or manipulate votes. LocalCoinSwap
contracts holding non-issued Cryptoshares (such as the security bounty or
venture-fund contract) automatically burn all voting tokens they are issued.
Currencies
offered as dividend payment
LocalCoinSwap
will launch with as many of the most traded cryptocurrencies as development
time allows. The initial launch aims for a minimum of the leading 10
cryptocurrencies. The platform will add new cryptocurrencies at a constant rate
in order to encompass the majority of the cryptocurrency market.
LCS
Cryptoshares will entitle users to a vote in the listing priority of new
currencies through a direct democracy contract using their voting tokens.
LocalCoinSwap recognises that the cryptocurrency economy is a constantly
changing environment with new assets emerging on a regular basis. By actively
engaging with the holders of Cryptoshares, LocalCoinSwap will implement the
coins which the community wishes to trade.
Airdrops of new
ICO token listings LocalCoinSwap provides a listing service for new ICO tokens
to allow them to launch on the LocalCoinSwap platform or raise pre-ICO and
presale funding. The requirement for listing new ICO tokens is that holders of
LCS Cryptoshares receive an airdrop of some proportion of the new tokens in
advance. These airdrops are automatically distributed through the same
mechanism as the dividend and voting tokens. The specific requirements for new
ICO tokens to list on the LocalCoinSwap platform will be decided through the
proof-of-stake voting system.
The requirement
for new ICO tokens wishing to raise pre-ICO funding is that LocalCoinSwap users
and Cryptoshare holders must be entitled to special discount offerings. The
expansion of LocalCoinSwap to provide a comprehensive listing service for new
ventures to perform pre-ICO, presale and ICO is a fundamental priority for the
platforms development after initial launch.
Decentralisation
of ownership
Cryptoshares
owners are valuable members of the LocalCoinSwap community. As such, they are
entitled to provide input in all facets of site development, new business
ventures, as well as having complete ownership of their respective share of
profits. These voting rights include uses of the sites revenue. No significant
new ventures will be undertaken without a vote amongst holders of the public
issuance. All holders who wish to participate will vote in a proof-of-stake
system handled by the issuance of a voting asset which can then be used in a
public and transparent democracy contract. The democracy contract is open
source and the outcome of votes publically tallied.
Transparency
LocalCoinSwap
will provide an open and transparent exchange to its shareholders. The
blockchain itself will provide an unforgeable record of all dividend payouts to
Cryptoshare holders. LocalCoinSwap will have a continuous, transparent, and
blockchain-based overview of all cryptocurrency revenues generated and to be
distributed. Each monthly Cryptoshare holder announcement will detail
developments of the exchange and issues which will be voted on by Cryptoshare
holders before the next announcement. These issues will include new-venture
projects, new coins added to the exchange, design considerations, and more.
Cryptoshare holders may submit questions to be voted on through the platform’s
integrated community forum.
Cryptoshare ICO
Issuance
Allocation
breakdown
- 100,000,000: Total supply of Cryptoshares which are minted in advance of presale. The contract for the Cryptoshare locks this limit as unchangeable so no more Cryptoshares can ever be created. This limit was chosen to give higher possible future values to individual Cryptoshares. This contract is open source and publically available on the LocalCoinSwap Github repository.
- 70,000,000: Maximum issuance of the Cryptoshares through the pre-ICO, presale and ICO period. At the end of the crowdsale period all unsold Cryptoshares from this portion of the issuance are destroyed to increase the value of remaining Cryptoshares.
- 10,000,000: Reserved for special community venture fund. These Cryptoshares and associated dividends are frozen for 1 year. After the end of the freeze LCS Cryptoshare holders may vote on the use of these funds and dividends for the purposes of developing the company. Staff members are ineligible from voting on the use of these funds. This fund provides incentive for holders of Cryptoshares to participate in the community aspect of the platform.
- 10,000,000: Reserved for equal share between the core development team. These Cryptoshares are frozen for 1 year to incentivise staff to grow their value.
- 5,000,000: Allocated to security reward program. This will increase the security of the platform by incentivising malicious actors to report any exploits found rather than taking advantage of them.
- 5,000,000: Reserved for the bounty program. This program will assist with the promotion and marketing of the platform users. These bounties will be paid out for services such as translation, content creation and brand development.
- 30%: Allocated to increase the security of the platform. LocalCoinSwap offers trading in a large variety of digital assets. To protect against all possible threats multiple layers of redundancy have been implemented in wallet systems, and security critical processes abstracted to separate servers. A large allocation of crowdsale revenue towards security will provide users assurance that LocalCoinSwap is a safe platform on which to trade.
- 30%: Allocated exclusively for the addition of new coins. LocalCoinSwap aims to provide the maximum diversity of trading options upon launch and will hire dedicated staff solely to investigate and implement new cryptocurrencies.
- 20%: Used for further development and expansion of the platform. This will enhance scalability and the number of features which will be offered on initial launch.
- 15%: For business development, marketing & advertising. LocalCoinSwap will implement broad marketing & advertising strategies to increase the user base of the platform upon launch. These strategies are refined and focused campaigns based on the data and analytics gathered during the Cryptoshare issuance.
- 5%: Allocated for administration costs incurred during the final development of the platform.
- 80%: Distributed through the dividend system equally to all holders of LCS Cryptoshares.
- 9%: Used for administration costs which consists primarily of staff wages and fees paid to contracted workers. LocalCoinSwap staff are paid a maximum of a market wage in line with their relevant qualifications and experience. All salaries and contracted rates will be detailed in LocalCoinSwap’s financial announcements to increase the transparency of the platform.
- 6%: For maintenance of the exchange platform. This includes costs of servers, replacement of physical equipment and fees paid to technical services.
- 5%: Allocated to enhance security of the platform. These expenses include security audits, penetrations testing and costs of implementing additional protection measures.
LocalCoinSwap
Trading Platform
Platform
overview
Development on
the LocalCoinSwap platform began in August 2017 and is estimated to be ready
for initial release by the end of August 2018. The platform borrows the best
elements and features of existing platforms but has been redesigned with an
enhanced focus on user experience, coin additions and incorporation of social
media interactivity. The core development philosophy for the LocalCoinSwap platform
is: safe, easy, enjoyable.
Primarily the
platform has been developed with the security of the user in mind. Careful
attention has been taken to implement intrusion detection mechanisms and
segregation of critical components. Extensive research was conducted on
previous hacks and the security models of comparable exchanges before
development began.
The ease of use
of the platform was the second most important design consideration. It is
important that the user has a smooth experience, can quickly find and use the
features they need, and is not burdened by excessive pages or complicated
interfaces. Where possible the focus has been on offering as many features as
possible while maintaining visual simplicity. The signup process has been
streamlined with no identity verification required for registration. Users are
able to quickly access the platform and begin trading immediately with no
restrictions.
The final
consideration, and of equal importance, is that the platform is enjoyable for
the user. The development team is integrating several social media aspects to
the site designed to enhance the community element of the experience. This
includes trending coins, interactive charts & graphs, achievement badges,
custom profile pictures, and a fully integrated forum.
Coins offered
LocalCoinSwap
aims to offer trading on the majority of cryptocurrencies and digital assets to
benefit the greatest number of users. The platform will open in stages due to
development budget, opening with the widest possible selection of coins and
continuously integrating more. When there is uncertainty as to whether certain
crypto assets should be implemented, or the order in which cryptocurrencies
should be implemented, a vote amongst Cryptoshare holders will take place.
LocalCoinSwap has a non-discriminatory attitude towards coin coverage. The
platform’s focus is on servicing the needs of the greatest number of users
possible, rather than providing preferential treatment to any single
cryptocurrency.
Escrow system
The
LocalCoinSwap escrow system acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers
to create a trustless solution to the inherit trust issue which hampers P2P
transactions. LocalCoinSwap will implement a multi-signature transaction option
for users in currencies where this is possible. This will allow users to
exchange with zero platform risk.
When a new
trade is initiated between traders, LocalCoinSwap takes possession of the
cryptocurrency portion of the transaction, while the fiat currency payment is
made directly from the buyer to the seller. Once the payment has been made, and
the seller can verify the fiat currency transaction has been received, the
cryptocurrency is released to the buyer. To prevent users funds from being
locked up during volatile market periods, time limits for each step of the
contract process can be specified by the buyer or seller and are agreed to in
advance.
Dispute
resolution
If a dispute
occurs, the escrow release is paused and supporting documentation is requested
from each party to mediate the settlement. LocalCoinSwap has scenario-tested
all reasonably foreseeable instances where disputes may be initiated and has
created stringent processes to fairly deal with each individual case. A global
support team will ensure that staff members are available to mediate trading
issues at all times.
User feedback
User feedback
about buyers and sellers is an important component to maintain a community of
reliable traders. Both parties have the opportunity to leave feedback and
respond to it after the transaction is complete. Traders additionally may view
feedback before deciding whether or not to accept incoming trades.
Community
engagement
A key catalyst
to user disenchantment of many cryptocurrency exchanges has been the lack of
active community engagement. To ensure LocalCoinSwap users are fully aware of
all important changes or news regarding the platform, regular contact will be
disseminated through frontpage updates and announcements from the operations
team. Additionally, LocalCoinSwap will engage with the trading community
through its public Telegram groups, Slack channel, social media accounts, and
integrated forum.
Security
A full-time
dedicated security team has been enlisted to safeguard all vulnerable
information at all times. 95% of cryptocurrency deposits will be stored in
offline wallets to minimise potential loss due to hacking. Regular security
audits by penetration specialists have been scheduled to ensure the security
system is fully up to date. In addition, third party monitoring systems have been
implemented for all servers with automatic shutdown mechanisms in cases of
detected intrusion.
Simplified fee
structure
LocalCoinSwap
only charges commission to the market maker of the transaction (the trader
advertising their services on the platform). The price advertised is the price
paid, without withdrawal or deposit fees, and no other hidden charges.
For sellers who
regularly engage in high volume trades, a special pro-trader status will be
awarded, conferring lower trading fees and an official ‘trusted’ banner on
their profile. Fees for trading will be set based on comparable exchanges, with
the aim to match or beat the fees offered by any competitors (currently this is
1%).
Development
overview
The
LocalCoinSwap platform is developed using a modular process. The platform’s
development has been divided into 5 core systems and approximately 350
features. Each feature is developed individually and then reviewed by the
entire development team before integration into the master branch of the
project repository. Unit tests have been implemented to ensure that no element
of the website is compromised by the addition of a new feature.
The
LocalCoinSwap non-technical staff work independently as bug finders on the
development website. Additionally, an independent contractor with experience in
penetration testing continuously attempts to find vulnerabilities in the
websites security.
New business
ventures
In the event of
a highly successful crowdsale there will be several new community ventures
immediately available for a vote by LocalCoinSwap Cryptoshare holders. In the
event of a less successful crowdsale the votes will be undertaken as soon as
sufficient revenue has been made by the platform to expand. Holders of
Cryptoshares are encouraged to submit ideas for new ventures to be taken to a
vote. These could include but are not limited to :
- Full integration of all ERC20 tokens through a dedicated development team.
- Translation, marketing, and support staff for the platform in new geographical locations where English is not a primary language.
- Enhanced token listing services for new ICO’s including rating systems and seed funding.
- Customizable themes and trading interfaces.
- Secondary atomic-swap marketplace built on top of P2P platform.
- Strategic partnerships within the cryptocurrency community.
Roadmap
Value
Proposition
Value overview
Of significant interest to investors in this project is both the potential
returns and initial valuation of the company. The exact valuation of the
company will be decided by the public through the crowdsale event. As 70% of
the Cryptoshares are available on market, and the hard cap for the crowdsale
event is 20 million ($20,000,000) USD, the maximum initial valuation of LCS
through the token generation is 28.57 million ($28,570,000) USD. This limit was
primarily chosen so that Cryptoshare holders could be assured of attractive
potential dividend return on their initial investment, and also because it is
unnecessary to raise further funding for initial platform development.
This initial
evaluation also allows room for the market capitalisation of the company to
rise naturally, through demand for Cryptoshares on secondary markets. The
following research has been conducted so that investors may have some idea of
potential dividend returns of their Cryptoshares. All research is speculative
so the following projections should be considered optimistic (though still
reasonable) as a good-case scenario.
Cryptocurrency
markets - Sector analysis
The
cryptocurrency market is fast approaching a 1 trillion ($1,000,000,000,000) USD
market cap, with a total capitalisation that has peaked over 700 billion
($700,000,000,000) USD. This growth has been exponential in nature. This trend
is expected to continue, as cryptocurrency adoption becomes increasingly
mainstream.
As of writing
there are 1426 cryptocurrencies in circulation, with an average of more than
one cryptocurrency being created each day. The increases in market
capitalisation are also reflected in trading volume across major exchanges. In
2017 the average 24 hour trading volume across the entire market was 120
million ($120,000,000) USD. In early 2018 the average 24 trading volume was
already approaching 50 billion ($50,000,000,000) USD, the same as the New York
Stock Exchange.
P2P markets -
Industry analysis
Since Bitcoin’s
inception in 2009, P2P exchanges have been a key instrument in its
dissemination and popularity. Trade volume for Bitcoin has increased
exponentially alongside the overall cryptocurrency economy. The week starting
23rd of December 2017 saw over 130 million ($130,000,000 ) USD worth of Bitcoin
change hands via Localbitcoins.com – comprising the largest week of P2P trade
in Bitcoin’s history. LocalBitcoins.com currently hold the title of the world’s
largest P2P Bitcoin exchange. LocalBitcoins.com has no plans as of writing to
support additional cryptocurrencies.
Revenue
projection
The following
revenue projection is based on current trading volume data taken primarily from
“Coinmarketcap.com. Bitcoin P2P market share was calculated using
LocalBitcoins.com data taken from Coindance.com. A full breakdown of
calculations is contained in the appendix to this whitepaper. Care has been
taken to base the following analysis on justifiable and realistic assumptions.
