"B-Umbrella" Security Sharing Service

[Rokos2009]

Introduction

The global security market is destined to growth due to the instability and uncertainty that remain dominating in the contemporary world. Just watching the daily news is enough to find that the terrorist acts and cyberattacks emerging every single day, unprecedented hybrid warfare (Syria, Ukraine), religious violence and nationalist hatred caused by enormous migration, a rash of street crime based on further polarization between the rich and poor, and the rising suicide rate related to overstressing due to financial and social problems constitute only a few of numerous preconditions and reasons of why people need a highly developed and easily accessible online security service.

B-Umbrella Mission and Structure B-Umbrella project aims at creating a decentralized application based on the blockchain technology which can provide users with a possibility to find and hire the security guards of various specializations as well as the opportunities of sharing the personal and corporate security services offered by those individuals, groups, and companies whose security skills and capabilities can be in demand on the market. The application will provide peer-to-peer cashless transactions based on pre-designed smart contracts (templates) identifying the relations between clients and executors as well as the terms and conditions basing on which the security agreements are considered satisfactorily completed.

As the DApp implies the peer-to-peer interaction between clients and executors, there should be no any compulsory requirements to both communities. It means that everyone who is confident about his/her ability to deliver security service can register with the relevant section of the application offering oneself as an executor. It is up to the clients to select the most appropriate candidate from the pool of the executors. The executors in their turn are responsible for the information indicated in their profiles. In each particular case, the clients can make their choice basing on the “skills – fee”, “experience – reputation”, or “availability – location” ratio of the executors as well as on any other relevant and important characteristics indicated in the executors’ profiles. In other words, the B-Umbrella application offers an online platform where clients and security specialists can find each other in order to sign security agreements without having to correspond any official authorization. Both the functionality of the app and the relations between communities of the clients and executors are to be built upon concepts of the self-governance and genuine freedom of choice. The B-Umbrella DApp is intended as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) operating within the district0x Network as one of the districts under control of a corresponding entity created on the Aragon governance and management network. The final version of the architecture and UI as well as the specification, number, and functionality of all sections and features of the application will be developed in accordance with suggestions and advices of both district0x Network and Aragon executives along with opinions and proposals of district0x Community Advisers. Social Mission: B-Umbrella intends to reduce the global unemployment by representing new blockchain-based opportunities for those social strata whose environment, situation, and skills currently keep them out of the official employment for whatever reason. Besides, B-Umbrella offers a new level of accessibility to various security services for everyone who needs protection and security without being able to appeal to the conventional security service providers. The Users' Audience Everyone can create a profile on the B-Umbrella platform selecting a relevant security section of the application. The only formal procedure necessary to enter the service is an online registration. A potential executor will need to fill in a profile data including an avatar, a nickname and an informal description of skills and services he/she can offer. Besides, the interface of the app will propose selecting an appropriate type of available security services by adding to a profile specially designed icons identifying the types of services and some specific skills of the executors (possession of weapons, martial arts knowledge, remote service possibility etc). In addition, a candidate for executors will have to indicate his/her crypto wallet and buy some specific tokens to be able to use all B-Umbrella services. The rest functionality of the executors’ section of the app is to be similar to other various online freelance job platforms. Executors will be able to gather in groups (pools) basing on their interests, skills, locations etc. There will be a ranking system based on the clients’ feedback where executors can be classified with 1-5 stars. In addition, a special messenger-like section will provide executors with an ability to share their experience in two rooms – the “Walk of Fame” (for positive feedback) and the “Whipping Post” (for something negative). Clients will have a similar section too. Potential Executors

• military veterans and retired personnel who face problems with official employment due to various reasons;
• former and actual athletes looking for extra earnings;
• unemployed bodyguards having no official opportunities to be employed by the conventional security service providers;
• white-hat hackers capable of delivering cybersecurity services on a private basis;
• martial artists and coaches looking for extra earnings apart from their training jobs;
• former inmates having difficulties in finding their way in society;
• taxi and truck drivers capable of providing confidential courier and delivery services of valuable assets;
• guides, survivalists, and traffickers capable of arranging safety visiting of various dangerous locations;
• well-trained and able-bodied students looking for some side business in their spare time;
• spiritualists, healers, and psychics whose extrasensory capabilities can deliver some atypical security services to those clients who feel vulnerable to the forces of evil from the beyond;
• actual officially employed bodyguards whose work schedule allows them to have a secondary job;
• everyone throughout the world who is confident in his/her ability to deliver a particular security service. Potential Customers
• business persons who operate within highly corrupted environments where appealing to official security service providers may likely entail persecution by governmental and criminal organizations practicing racketeering activities (former USSR countries);
• individuals whose business, political, or social reputation may be negatively affected when their contracting with security guards is widely publicized (discreet protection);
• people who need protection and security service for one-time situations (events, tourist and business trips, negotiations etc);
• people and organizations who suffer from cyberattacks having no sufficient financial resources to contract official cybersecurity specialists or being distrustful to their professional capabilities;
• people who want to arrange bodyguard service for their children, parents, relatives, friends, partners etc, on a confidential basis in order to keep their loved ones unaware about the service due to psychological, social, ethical, or any other possible reasons;
• individuals, groups, and communities seeking for security services while their official status (migrants, refugees, national or sexual minorities etc) does not allow them to be officially protected;
• people who need to visit some high-risk areas or criminalized districts where escorting by a local guide is necessary;
• people who need security service rewarded through the mutual exchange of another service (cybersecurity – hairdressing, security courier delivery – dental service, etc);
• individuals who believe in danger and threats rooting somewhere beyond the conventional physical reality (vampires, aliens, evil spirits, ghosts etc) and thus being unable to ask for protection of the conventional security service providers;
• individuals, groups, and communities who seek for remote protection of people or object locating in distant areas (memorials, cemeteries, cultural or business facilities, etc);
• everyone who feels vulnerable to the actual or imaginary threats without intend to publicly disclose any fear and vulnerabilities, however.

Hey @Rokos2009

This is more relevant now more than ever. Would love to see an update!

I'm not sure if you're aware but we recently launched a new bounty to migrate your proposals to the actual District Registry: https://registry.district0x.io/

We're replacing the old voting app with the registry. Let me know if you need help but I would love to see you migrate this over so you can claim your DNT.

It does take a 10,000 DNT submit to submit your proposal but this gives you an extra 2000 you can stake in the registry beyond the deposit amount.

Hit me up on Telegram or Discord if you need help or have questions.

PS, please excuse the canned response. I am encouraging everyone here to start migrating so they can claim their 12000 DNT.
