THE WANTED SYSTEM

Crypto currency compensation network.

THE WANTED SYSTEM is a compensation based information col-lection, validation, and distribution application built upon our block-chain platform, the Wanted Network Engine. The Wanted System coin (XWS) allows the option for users to simultaneously make con-tributions to the victims of the crime connected to the campaign, towards assisting identification, and the recovery of individuals. Utilization of The Wanted System application will give private citi-zens or an entire community the power and confidence to ensure accountability amongst not only itself, but also with those in posi-tions of authority.

This is a living document. The Wanted System platform is also subject to change.

Abstract

One of life’s constants is the struggle for order and civility against those who seek their own gains at the cost of their community. Continuously, those living within our communities both locally and across the nation are reminded of the daily fight against criminal actions. Complicating the situation, most communities are often helpless in their struggle due to lack of accountability with centralized authority, a lack of anonymity for those willing to come forward with the truth, and particularly, a lack of incentive.

The Wanted System will develop a foundational blockchain platform, Wanted Network Engine (WNE), enabling the creation of a secure, anonymous messenger system to be utilized by users in creating Incident Based Campaigns (IBC) and making available information to be used by the authorities. Each individual IBC will allow information regarding specific unlawful occurrences to be shared with local authorities and those involved in all forms of media. We will use decentralized ledger technology to update and secure the process by which information of value is obtained by law enforcement, various media outlets, and other industries. Private individuals will be able to ensure a more rapid response to criminal activity without wasting time waiting for approval or resources from a law enforcement agency, outside of verifying an active investigation. Implementation of the The Wanted System network will give private citizens or an entire community the power to ensure accountability amongst not only itself, but also with those in positions of authority.

INTRODUCTION TO

THE WANTED SYSTEM

The Wanted System is a compensation based information collection and distribution system. The WNE will insure information provided within each IBC will be verified, assessed, scored, and monetized at levels in proportion with the private and public interests utilizing The Wanted System regarding a specific IBC. The methods, applications, and processes used by the WNE will create fundamental changes by which institutional elements within the criminal justice system and media engage the public.

The distributed ledger technology employed by the WNE will maintain information within each IBC in an unbroken chain of custody. Every IBC guarantees the option for a completely secure and anonymous transfer of critical information. The information is then brought to the attention of the authorities, the media, and the general public.

The Wanted System incident campaigns will not be limited to specific criminal offences. The Wanted System is to be used for campaigns ranging from misdemeanors all the way to espionage. No offence will be too small or too large for an IBC. The amount of financial and public support each IBC will receive depends on the reason the campaign was started in the first place. A campaign to recover a stolen bicycle will undoubtedly receive less attention than a campaign focused on solving a murder. As more IBCs are created, users will have a wider selection of campaigns they can assist according to their own interest. This will open opportunities for users to focus and potentially specialize in assisting those campaigns most important to them.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The complexity and inefficiency of the current compensation system derives from many factors which until now could not be solved with a practical solution. Several of the more prominent limitations encountered involve not only institutional failures, but the realities and risks involved in providing information: Law enforcement budgetary constraints

Inadequate reward amounts

Protracted payouts of rewards

Lack of anonymity for information provider

Complicated and risky payout collection methods

Fear of losing anonymity after providing information The Wanted System will be able to address these issues by providing law enforcement, private citizens, and entire communities the technological solution needed to overcome traditional problems in combating criminal actions. Combining the traditional compensation system with one based upon crowdfunding techniques.

Creation of a campaign without waiting for one to be issued by authorities.

Empowering private citizens to proactively participate in the safety of their community.

Providing a widespread platform to help raise awareness for compensation campaigns and support through crowdsourcing.

CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGNS COMMUNITY WIDE PLATFORMTraditional compensation based upon crowdfunding

techniques.

No waiting for authorities to create a campaign.

Encouraging community participation by

empowering citizens.

A widespread platform for raising awareness.

We predict broad support throughout all communities The Wanted System is offered regardless of whether it is a large city or a rural area. There are no potential competitors with our project at this time, and we are unaware of any competing system applying blockchain technology to address the problems The Wanted System seeks to mitigate. Platforms to donate funds for victims of a crime are abundant throughout the crowdfunding ecosystem, however, none are also affiliated with a reward campaign to identify or recover the party accused of the criminal action. While there will certainly be attempts to copy The Wanted System, it’s highly unlikely anyone will posses a business network as mature as our own or such a concentration of industry related experience to maintain our first movers advantage.

MARKET OVERVIEW CONT.

THE WANTED SYSTEM CAMPAIGN STRUCTURE AND ADMINISTRATION

We expect a combination of private individuals, public industries, and all spectrums of law enforcement to participate in the creation of IBCs. Each IBC created will be broken down into these separate divisions providing participants and IBC creators multiple avenues by which contributions can be directed and compensations received. Information Payout Fund

Victim Donation Fund

Law Enforcement Resources Fund While the first two divisions of The Wanted System’s IBC are appreciated at a glance, the Law Enforcement Resources Fund will become yet another tool by which the public can hold law enforcement accountable. Should an IBC be disregarded due to complaints about low investigatory budgets by law enforcement, the creator and supporters of a respective IBC can raise direct funding to help solve the law enforcement budgetary shortcomings. These three divisions within an IBC are for now the structure by which participation in The Wanted System can be accomplished. However, additional divisions can and likely will be added as broader adoption and use of The Wanted System increases.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT AND PARTNERSHIPS

Community leaders, the bail bond industry, and law enforcement have demonstrated great enthusiasm for The Wanted System and are eager to participate in its development and implementation. In particular, companies within the bail bond industry have been the most vocal in their support and likely will be the first partnerships we establish. We have secured and are pursuing deeper relationships with both civic and legal communities as our project continues to grow. Of course, a project such as ours must partner with law enforcement, the legal community, and with local civic leaders, however, that is not enough. Strategic alliances with both traditional and new media outlets will be crucial in not only generating public awareness of The Wanted System’s applications, but also as a means to promote newly created IBCs. Lastly, far too often we see public interest and care for victims and their families forgotten in the wake of whichever new tragedy has occurred. With that in mind, we will be seeking partnerships with nonprofit advocacy groups focused specifically on working with those individuals and their loved ones left piecing their lives back together.

UTILITY OF THE WANTED SYSTEM COIN

The Wanted System (XWS) coin will be used exclusively as a utility method by which services offered within The Wanted System may be pursued. The only method by which a user may participate in an ongoing Wanted campaign or create a new one is through the obtainment and use of the XWS coin. XWS coins will be available for purchase through the Wanted crowdfunding campaign and when the ICO concludes, through cryptocurrency exchanges.

HOW USERS CAN EARN

Users starting a campaign will be termed as Campaign Initiator (CI). A CI will be able to financially benefit from starting their own IBC and will be eligible to receive a yet undetermined percentage of commission on all funds they raise. To be certain, the percentage will be substantial enough to warrant individual risk of providing critical information. More than one user of The Wanted System can start a similar campaign, however each will be subjected to a round of verification in order to prevent fraudulent IBCs. While our goal as a business is to generate and support massive adoption rates of The Wanted System, we will not enter into this large task until all avenues of protection for individual users right to anonymously collect compensation has been proven effective and secure. We understand putting one’s safety at risk for the sake of one’s community is a daunting task, and we look forward to providing a simple solution to an admittedly complicated issue. This will work most effectively with the right incentive and we look forward to creating it with the help of you, the community.

MARKET OVERVIEW CONT.

STRUCTURE AND ADMINISTRATION CONT.

Along with maintaining the anonymity of information providers, the creators of The Wanted System are just as dedicated to preventing fraudulent IBCs. A team of former private investigators, retired law enforcement, and investigative journalists will help filter and verify user generated campaigns. An IBC will not be publicly released until the campaign has undergone complete review not only from the team of experts The Wanted System will employ, but also by the respective law enforcement official investigating the case. We appreciate the risk The Wanted System places itself in by submitting its IBCs to law enforcement approval prior to a campaign release. Should an IBC encounter confirmed resistance due to fear of potential corruption being exposed, we trust private citizens and local media in all forms to apply the appropriate pressure needed to bring about an IBC approval. This will be a large operation requiring several full time staff in our Las Vegas field office and as The Wanted System grows, the process will be adapted accordingly.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

CROWDFUNDING

Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributionsfrom a large number of people.

- - -

BLOCKCHAIN

This represents a distributed ledger database, where no single copy exists. Instead of storingdata in a monolithic server (or server farm) and make it available to the users through acentralized point of access, distributed ledger technology allows for a more sparse approach,where many redundant copies of the data exists all over the world. The data is stored in blocks,which are chained one to another to keep a logical and sequential registry of the operations ofthe network.

- - -

WALLET

An application allows a user to have a public address where other users can send funds orwhere funds can be sent from in the The Wanted System Platform. The wallet contains a privatekey and stores the current state of the user funds expressed in XWS units. Normally, though,the people refers to the G.U.I. as the wallet itself, but this is only a practical case. Walletswithout G.U.I. can also be used but the difficulty is bigger because the commands must bemanually entered by the user and the results are not easily interpretable. The wallet can also bestored as a paper copy of the master private key, so it can be rebuilt later in a different machinewithout losing value.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS CONT.

COLD WALLET

This is a way to store the essential information allows a wallet to be recreated in softwareform at a later time, while at the same time avoiding having it available (and hackable) throughthe Internet. When you create a paper wallet, you essentially make a special copy of the walletmain values (private keys) so you can delete the file physically from the computer. Doing thisstill allows to receive funds (you just need to send people a copy of your address or public keyfor ) but you cannot use/spend those funds until you activate the wallet again in a node.

- - -

NODE

A node is a wallet also is connected to the internet. There can be different types of walletsand nodes, but they’re internally equivalent.

- - -

INITIAL COIN OFFERING (ICO)

This is a process started by the coin creators in order to make an initial distribution of one partof the available total amount among the interested parties. The contributors to the crowdfundingwill receive a certain number of coins proportional to their contribution in BTC or ETH.
