To make the reselling of things among peers thereby eliminating charges charged by middle merchants and also verifying the products with the help of nearby peers of the seller
Consider person A is seller and B is buyer.
- A puts a product on the site.
- B wants to buy it. But B wants to eliminate the charges inculcated by the middle merchants like olx or droom.in(in case of automobiles). B also doesn't want to compromise with the quality of the product.
- Thus, we offer a reward( in terms of a currency or ether ) to the peers in the vicinity of the seller A to check the product in person for buyer B.
- The first person( let's say C ) who approaches A records the quality and features of the product and makes a statement whether it is good to buy or not which is to be verified by other peers.
- The following people approaching A after C( say D, E ), counter check the statement of A so as to not have any kind of fraud. They also get a part of generated currency on counter checking the first person's decision so that they won't be without reward.
- If majority of people( minimum 6-7 ) confirm about the quality of product, then we add the transaction and thus many transactions are combined to form a block which we append in our blockchain.
- If a peer tries to fraud, we have a factor called 'Reputation', which would eventually decrease if he tries to do deceit.
