The process of ‘filing’ the document in the blockchain is called time-stamping -- it proves your record existed at a given time, eliminating any possibility of forgery.The record is secured through the one-time use of digital keys. We recommend you use the keys from your BITNATION World Citizenship ID or the number of your Estonian e-Residency ID, for additional security.Blockchain notarization is an effective way to record marriage contracts, wills, birth certificates, child care contracts, land titles and business deals, among many other records. The security of the blockchain protects the document permanently, ensures its easy access, and proves its authenticity and ownership anytime you need it.After you've signed and timestamped the contract, the notary will generate a time-stamped certificate._bf7d093e-b421-11e5-a76e-66e9ca82de10IDsTime-stamp personal identities and start a Web-of-Trust on the​ blockchain._bf7d0a06-b421-11e5-a76e-66e9ca82de102BITNATION WORLD CITIZEN ID (BID) -- Become an official World Citizen through time-stamping your Identity, and start of a 'Web-of-Trust' on the​ blockchain:​ an immutable public ledger distributed across hundreds of thousands of computers around the world.

All you need is a desire, and we will provide as much support as we can...Self-Determination in international law is so fundamental that not even nation-states can deviate from it; it is the raison d'etre -- the reason for existence – and without this principle, there is no will, thus there is no 'nation'. BITNATION members have that will, and we are indeed exercising self-determination. See: The Principle of Equal Rights and Self-determination of Peoples & Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969, Preamble & Art 53.Free will, or the freedom to choose, is the basis to form any variation of social association. Just as a contract expresses the will of an Individual, a Compact or Charter expresses the collective will of a People, or a Nation, and even a State. BITNATION is a Nation.BITNATION Pangea is the world's first blockchain powered virtual nation, and as such, we too are formalizing a social compact as part of the process of exercising self-determination. Our Ambassador Network, currently Goodwill in nature, must transition to authorized Diplomatic and Community Support positions to foster peaceful relations with other Nations, as well as providing more tangible services to the BITNATION community.When BITNATION was established, we had a distinct group called "Ambassadors" which were various type of Contributors from Application developers, to writers, and more. As BITNATION moves to a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) model, all barriers to entry will be removed so everyone can be a Contributor. However, new definitions of Ambassadors are necessary, and certain education will be required for these new roles, defined as follows:Self-GovernanceDevelop educational courses so any member of BITNATION can take on greater responsibility to advance global Peace and promote Blockchain technology as infrastructure for self-governance_bf7d0e2a-b421-11e5-a76e-66e9ca82de104.1DECENTRALIZED AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATION (DAO) -- We are working towards development of self-paced educational courses so any member of BITNATION who is interested can take on greater responsibility to advance true global Peace, and promote the legitimacy of Blockchain technology as Our infrastructure for self-governance. You decide your own level of involvement. All you need is a desire, and we will provide as much support as we can.Needless to say, the net is vast and infinite, and with these opportunities comes equal rights and responsibilities. Please do not feel daunted by the old, lofty perceptions of whatever an Ambassador may hold for you, because we need everyone to essentially be Ambassadors. If you are interested in participating, creatively solving problems, and promoting true Peace to leave behind the obsolete Westphalian domination called ‘peace’, and help BITNATION to reshape the sociopolitical environment with blockchains beyond borders or boundaries, then YOU ARE THE ONE, and We have been looking for you.Please contact an Ambassador in your region on the BITNATION Ambassador Network listed on the team directory or #BITNATIONEducation NetworkHost immersive learning experiences in technology, science, and startups_bf7d0f1a-b421-11e5-a76e-66e9ca82de105ExosphereExosphere runs the Hydra Startup Lab in Viña del Mar, Chile.

Explorers used it to plot their course through unknown territory. Ancient civilizations gave name to constellations after their gods and beliefs, laying the ground of today’s religions.As our civilization matured with the industrial and scientific revolution, the heavens constantly changed, challenged and shaped the perception of our place in the universe.It is only merely a few hundred years ago when we thought that our planet was the center of the universe. Modern science proved our sun to be one of trillions among the infinite stars in the universe and with the new discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics and theories of multiverse, giving us a hint that our universe might just as well be just one of many others.Since the beginning of the space age, which began with Sputnik in 1957, space-science has given us countless new technologies, from the simple Teflon in our frying pans to innumerable scientific discoveries ranging from new drugs for curing deadly diseases to inventions that laid the ground of the information technology, Internet, and global communication and positioning using satellites orbiting the planet, and yet we are still in the beginning of what lays ahead of us.With this in mind, it is quite obvious that space-science is essential for us as species to evolve further, to invent new technologies and make new discoveries.There will also be a day when our planet no longer can sustain the need of resources for the growing population and it will be necessary for humans to colonize other celestial bodies and planets. The resources of our planet are shrinking at an increasing speed, and it is needless to say that resources have been one of the two main reasons of countless wars through our history, the other meaningless reason being religion. The day that we have to leave the cradle crawls closer and closer for every minute. It is therefore a necessity of survival of our species to develop space-travel at a large scale available to everyone at any time.That is where the BITNATION Space Agency comes in play with the SpaceChain space program. The very special essence of this idea is open source and decentralize space-travel; a space agency that is not bound to any nation or state, free for everyone to participate regardless of nationality, geographic habitation or current political situation.We at BITNATION Space Agency welcome you to a new era of human adventure. To seek and find new ways of making our lives better and to make new discoveries and create new technologies that will ensure the survival of our species._bf7d11e0-b421-11e5-a76e-66e9ca82de10Emergency Services and Humanitarian AidFacilitate and provide Emergency Services and Humanitarian Aid to refugees_bf7d12da-b421-11e5-a76e-66e9ca82de107RefugeesBITNATION REFUGEE EMERGENCY RESPONSE (BRER) -- A Humanitarian Aid Project of BITNATION to facilitate and provide Emergency Services and Humanitarian Aid to refugees...Bitnation Refugee Emergency Response (BRER) is a Humanitarian Aid Project of Bitnation to facilitate and provide Emergency Services and Humanitarian Aid to refugees during the European Refugee Crisis of September 2015.
