CryptoThrust X Landbox AMA

Guest: Etham (marketing head)

Hello. My name is Etham and I am in charge of marketing in Landbox project.
Landbox is a blockchain real estate project established based upon professional experiences in the existing real estate development and education industries. By utilizing “prop-tech” — a tech solution combining blockchain with real estate development — business development can be expanded. The first service product offered is “AuctionOK”, an online real estate auction service based on blockchain. This product is aiming to solve the various inconveniences of the existing offline-based real estate auction system. A patent application has been filed to provide an online, non-face-to-face real estate auction service using blockchain.
Online real estate auctions lower the entry barrier for customers to participate in online real estate auctions and thus contribute to the expansion of this field.

Yes, blockchain is key for the trust in the Auction Platform.
“method for providing intact [contactless] real estate auction service using block chain.” The patent technology allows the encryption of auction bids and the storage and management of such information on a blockchain network, which prevents unauthorized manipulation of the bids entered online.

Segment 2- Questions from Twitter

Q1) How can LANDBOX solve problems of the current Real Estate Market?
It is important to identify what is the problem in the first place.
We are focusing 1 problem first. One of the major issue with Real Estate Auction system in Korea is that you have to go to offline court to participate the auction.
Reason is that online method cannot be ensured by participants that the auction bid data is not manipulated.
“method for providing untact [contactless] real estate auction service using block chain.” The patent technology allows the encryption of auction bids and the storage and management of such information on a blockchain network, which prevents unauthorized manipulation of the bids entered online. By providing a contactless blockchain property platform, this technology also significantly eliminates the inconvenience of conventional auction system which requires bidders to be present at each bid site

The patent also includes a method of encrypting multiple bid logs after the conclusion of each auction sale. AuctionOK platform encrypts all properly entered bids so that the information about the bid price is hidden from everyone. After the bidding period is over, the bids encrypted into the blockchain network are decrypted so that the bids may be compared, and the winning bid selected. This allows the winning bid amount to be compared and verified with the one recorded in the value encrypted in the blockchain and ensures that there was no data compromise.
Also, usually information is not provided to every player in the real estate market.
Buyers usually do not have enough info to make decisions as far as auction goes.
So, we will provide platform that experts share their knowledge and information can be consumed by others.

Q2) Could you explain to me how the Landbox real estate auction platform works “Auction OK”? If you run real estate auctions, will it be able to hold a lot of money? How can users trust this Platform? And is it available for both IOS and android?
It does not need to held a lot of money in it. It is platform not actual buyer. Buyer(winner) and seller shall transacted to each other.
Users can trust platform by confirming the data on blockchain. every bidding data is stored on blockchain and can be confirmed.
Yes, we are developing apps now, it will be launched by this year.

Q3) You refer to yourself as a “Global platform for the exchange of information and real estate investment”, but could you really explain us about this “exchange of information” that Landbox provides?
Auction OK is auction platform and it should have community in it.
Auction OK School is a community service where users can share their knowledge about real estate. The users are able to share the information and knowledge regarding the real estate, and share the answers, columns, videos, etc. of the real estate specialists that are verified by Auction
OK. The participants of Auction OK will be receiving community activity rewards and LAND points depending on their contribution rate, which can be traded into LAND tokens

Q4) Will Landbox be directly associated with large local construction and real estate franchises? So Will Landbox seek to be a totally independent real estate and construction company?
We are more associated with real estate agencies not the constructions. Currently working on the on-boarding platform for real estate agencies so that they can sell their properties on the Auction OK.

Q5) The LandBox’s Business Model is based on a remote real state education platform and real estate investing platform, how do you plan to optimize the real states transactions in a smart-digital way incorporating blockchain?
Blockchain stores the bidding data not the actual real estate selling transactions. Korean government already have the system for it. We are providing the auction system for better liquidity and selling method.

When executing the bidding process, the bidding & key information is managed using the block- chain, and when this information is controlled by one server the problem will grow when the security issue occurs. To disperse this information, it uses 2-way management, which separates the key server and web server so that each server only manages on information (key server manages the bidding password key, and web server bidding information). Here, it is designed to indirectly control the blockchain by having the controller server in the middle, rather than controlling the blockchain directly. This is to manage the owner key information required for controlling the blockchain more safely.

Segment 3- Live Telegram Session

Q1 What if there is a dispute between the seller and the buyer, how will Landbox mediate it? and is there any aspect of legality and legal force in this transaction?

Real estate is not just crypto or stock. Its not traded by exchange. :) And yes there will be legal stuff. Haha. They need to register to korean government
