Cryptoworld: Boosteroid-platform that provides convenient access to computing power, storages and software products.

What is Boosteroid

Boosteroid is a cloud services platform that provides convenient access to computing power, storages and software products.

Cloud computer will allow to process video, create 3D-graphics, play games requiring high computer performance or carry out machine learning even on the device with the lowest performance. The only thing that user needs is a stable connection to the high-speed Internet.

It will be possible to access computing power both via browser and a desktop app that will have a single account on mobile devices and PCs.

Users will be able to choose programs they need and launch them immediately: the system will choose necessary computing power. Advanced users will be able to change the settings of their cloud computer themselves. Users will pay for the service with BTR tokens, as well as USD, BTC and ETH.

Boosteroid project implementation

Technical implementation of the Boosteroid project consists of software and hardware parts.

Hardware part will include a lot of heterogeneous computing systems,

combined into a single high-speed infrastructure:

servers based on modern general-purpose Intel or AMD processors;
servers, which include NVIDIA or AMD graphics accelerators and graphics cards;
servers, which include Intel graphics accelerators;
high-speed switching equipment.

Server architecture will be based on:

Intel Xeon E5, E7 v4 or 5 processors;
AMD EPYC 7000 series processors;
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards;
NVIDIA Tesla P100, Tesla V100 and AMD Radeon Instinct graphics accelerators;
Intel Xeon Phi 7000 series accelerators.

High Performance Computing Cloud Structure

A fault-tolerant, distributed, redundant storage system will be used in the Boosteroid project. Also, block-level stores are provided. In addition to the main data stores, a long-term storage with a large amount of memory will be built.

10Gb and 100Gb Ethernet switches will be used as communication equipment. They support the operation of the system infrastructure, high-speed computing network and data warehouse replication.

Software part will be based on software products, designed for server, storage and network virtualization, as well as IT-infrastructure transformation into stable automated computing environment.

This concept will allow to create many virtual computers within a computing cloud based on Intel Xeon processors and graphics accelerators (cards) NVIDIA with minimal capacity losses.

It will be possible to use the service both on PCs and mobile devices as the access to Boosteroid will be provided via browser, regardless of the operation system.

We will develop user-friendly interface to provide convenient work in the cloud and ensure quick access to Boosteroid services. Users will be able to connect to a cloud computer via VPN and use particular apps, models and games.

To start using the service a user should sign up on the website or in the app, providing their email or their login and password.
Then the user will receive an email with a link to activate an account.

After that the system will offer to choose needed rental time (hours) and several payment options for a configured cloud computer. It will be possible to skip this step and complete it later.

There will be several payment options:
- with BTR tokens purchased earlier;
- with BTR tokens purchased via Boosteroid exchange service;
- with a credit card. Any currency converted to USD is accepted;
- with cryptocurrency.

Then the user will see a main screen where icons of the most commonly used apps, settings, cloud storage and Boostore application store will be displayed. It will be possible to change the location of icons and move them.

There will be both paid and free apps in BooStore. In the application store the user can choose software products and cloud computer rental time if it has not been done earlier. The user will select needed time and add apps to the cart where a final cost is calculated. The system will offer to pay for selected apps. To make a payment users should connect their credit card providing card holder’s first name and last name, type of the card — Mastercard or Visa, card expiration date and card verification value (CVV number).

Users will see their reserved rental time and selected apps in the personal account when the payment is made.

Then the user can choose the needed app and start it. Each app is launched in a separate window. It is possible to launch several apps available in the personal account at the same time. When users access Boosteroid services via browser they will receive a notification that they can enjoy maximum performance if they download BoostApp desktop application.

It will be possible to play games or use apps that require high resolution video stream only via BoostApp desktop application. 15 minutes before the end of the session the user will see a pop up message with a timer and an offer to pay for additional time so that the user will be able to keep unsaved changes and prolong the session.

For casual users cloud computer performance and processing power will be selected automatically (considering the required performance of software products that a user needs).

Experienced users will have an opportunity to select the needed features of their cloud computer on their own.

Boosteroid tokens

A total of 1 billion tokens was released and called BTR.

BTR tokens are created on Ethereum blockchain-platform under the ERC20 token standard.
There is no reissue of tokens after the financing is completed.
Tokens accepted as a payment for services will expire.
All undigested and undistributed tokens will be destroyed after the ICO.

BTR tokens distribution

Tokens will be distributed in the following way:

Boosteroid fund will be formed proportional to the number of sold tokens.

Sale of BTR tokens in ICO

1 BTR corresponds to the cost of one hour computing power on the basis of eight NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards; two processors Intel Xeon E5 2680v4; RAM 256Gb; SSD 960Gb.

It is possible to buy BTR tokens on the Boosteroid.com website during pre-ICO and at all ICO stages.

All undigested and undistributed tokens will be destroyed after the ICO is completed.

ICO of BTR tokens

ICO

Date: January 15th — February 15th 2018.
Total number of BTR tokens: 400,000,000
The starting price of 1 BTR token is $ 1.88, the final price is $ 2.78.

* All stages of the ICO can be completed ahead of schedule in case the necessary investments are attracted.

Distribution of collected funds

Total amount of attracted investments — $ 1 359 000 000. They will be distributed in the following way:

Boosteroid became interesting for large investors who are ready to support us and help create the service.
Considering this we decided to limit a total amount of funds that we want to attract — now the hard cap is $100 million.

Boosteroid financial model

Expansion of computing facilities, purchase of equipment and the number of accepted BTR tokens dependson the amount of investments attracted during the ICO.

The table shows total number of computational nodes together with 189 already available and operating nodes.

One computational node costs approximately $15 000.

Value on the market

Considering the large number of users and limited number of released tokens, BTR exchange rate will increase and investors will get maximum return and gain profit.

Every BTR corresponds to a real service — 1 token = 1 hour computing power rent. Currently the lowest cost of 1 hour cloud computing rent is $6,5, thus the token rate will increase up to more than $6.

After the service is launched we will start BTR buyback on the exchange, so the number of tokens available on the market will reduce.

Payment (exchange) mechanism description

We will develop the exchange service that will allow to make fast exchange between USD, BTC, ETH and BTR without registering and trading on external exchanges. Users will be able to pay with USD, BTC, ETH and BTR tokens.

The exchange service will be integrated into the web interface, where the payment for computing power rent will be made.

Exchange rate and payment details will also be displayed there. The exchange rate will be close to that on the cryptocurrency exchanges and will update within particular periods of time. There will be a small charge for the exchange operations.

The exchange service will have reserves of USD, BTC, ETH and BTR. Exchange requests will be processed immediately. If the reserves of a particular currency end, the exchange service will automatically order it on external digital currency exchanges.

The exchange service will be launched on a separate server and connected to external exchanges, traditional payment systems and cryptocurrency wallets modules. The service will have a public API to accept exchange requests and inform about the current exchange rate and status of eserves.
