**Introduction:** We believe that true innovation and meaningful impact come from the collective support of people who believe in the power of giving without expecting anything in return. In place of traditional startup funding, we are introducing a Unilateral Gift Protocol that allows you to contribute to projects you believe in, while also potentially receiving future gifts from those who appreciate the positive change your contributions helped to create. **How It Works:** When you make a gift in increments of $10, $100, or $1000 in bitcoin, you receive what we call "Stored Value Blocks" as a token of appreciation and record of your contribution: - For every $100 in total gifts, you receive one "Silver" Stored Value Block. - For every $1000 in total gifts, you receive 10 "Gold" Stored Value Blocks. - For every $10 in incremental gifts that total $100, you receive one "Bronze" Stored Value Block. Your Stored Value Blocks represent the value you’ve contributed to a project during its early, uncertain stages. **Future Giving and Reciprocity:** If the project you supported succeeds and receives substantial future unilateral gifts from the world, we’ve designed a system that allows for these future gifts to flow back to the Stored Value Blocks that were recorded for you. This process, known as "Unilateral Give Back" or "Giving Reciprocity," is managed through a simple JavaScript formula that calculates the amount of future gifts you receive based on the time elapsed since the initial monetary contribution, 1st stored value block recorded: ```js // Shape A JavaScript Formula let month = 0 // Valid for months 0 to 40 let multiple = Math.round(Math.E ** (-month/12 + Math.E)) ``` For example, if a project you supported receives $100,000 in bitcoin from the world 60 months after you gave $1000, the value of your early Stored Value Blocks would increase, and you could receive up to $15,000 in return. This formula is designed to reward those who support projects during the critical first 40 months (approximately 3.3 years) of their development. **Value Block Multipliers by Month:** - **Months 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6:** Value blocks can fill to **15x, 14x, 13x, 12x, 11x, 10x, 9x** - **Months 7, 8:** Value blocks can fill to **8x** - **Months 9, 10:** Value blocks can fill to **7x** - **Months 11, 12:** Value blocks can fill to **6x** - **Months 13, 14:** Value blocks can fill to **5x** - **Months 15, 16, 17:** Value blocks can fill to **4x** - **Months 18, 19, 20, 21:** Value blocks can fill to **3x** - **Months 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27:** Value blocks can fill to **2x** - **Months 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40:** Value blocks can fill to **1x** **Digital Certificates:** In addition to your Stored Value Blocks, you will receive a digital certificate as a record of your gift. This certificate ensures that you can successfully claim any future gifts that flow back to you, and serves as a tangible acknowledgment of your early and generous support. **A New Vision for Giving:** This multi-way unilateral gifting strategy is more than just a way to support projects—it’s a movement toward a kinder world where giving is driven by passion and belief in positive change. While you give expecting nothing in return, our system ensures that if the project flourishes, your early support is recognized and rewarded. Together, we are creating a sustainable, fair, and beautiful strategy for a world where giving is a joy, and where those who support visionary projects in their infancy can be honored for their faith and generosity.46:T523,Plot.plot({ y: { grid: true, ticks: 16, }, x: { grid: true, ticks: 20, }, color: { scheme: "PiYG", legend: true, type: "linear", domain: [0,15], // Set the color scale range from 0 to 15 label: "Give Back Fill Multiples", tickFormat: d => `${d}x` }, marks: [ () => htl.svg` `, Plot.areaY(monthlyChanges, {x: "month", y: "next", fill: "url(#gradient)", curve: "step-after"}), //Plot.lineY(dailyChanges, {x: "month", y: "next", stroke: "darkviolet", curve: "step-after"}), Plot.ruleY([0]) ] })47:Tb76,giveBack = { function distributeFunds(participants, totalFunds) { let remainingFunds = totalFunds;
