2 i. Abstract There are many cryptocurrency projects out there today and too often investors get sucked into the false promises, glamour, or vaporware of a project, only to be left losing at the end. Ondori (ticker: RSTR) wants to give investors an opportunity to be a part of a promising project from the start that is fair, logical and utilizes strategic planning. There s no hype here, just a focus on progress. We don t promise to revolutionize cryptocurrency, nor are we trying to add glitz to the ideas that we place before you. Instead, we choose to work hard on an ever-evolving path that will deliver results without over-hyping our efforts. We will build off each success, one after the other, as we move towards our goal of being a cryptocurrency for everyday use. We have already accomplished the mission of being a working coin that can be traded on exchanges and be built upon over time. Forward outlook is to continue expanding on our development and growing community and allowing for organic growth of support. As our community numbers and community responsibility of spreading our vision grows, so will Ondori. Everyone within the Ondori RSTR community has an obligation to be open and willing to share the knowledge with others because it s important to give exposure to those outside of the space if we want to grow crypto interest. It's on us to make the entry into cryptocurrency as easy as we can to take down the difficulty in understanding it. We want those fresh faces and we need to work hard in our community endeavors to help push cryptocurrency into the everyday lifestyle. 1

3 ii. Acknowledgements Ondori RSTR would like to give a big thank you to all the cryptocurrencies that laid the path for us to be here. If it wasn t for the likes of Bitcoin, Zerocoin, Dash, and PIVX all sharing their ideas collectively in open source we wouldn t have had this opportunity in helping to share in their efforts. All of these projects, including ours, have the common goal of hoping to have a real-world use case that will help bring global adoption to cryptocurrency. With all of us coming together to work towards that effort, global adoption is just around the corner. We want to also give a big thank you to each and every one of you out there who have chosen to take part in this journey with us. Many of you have shown your support for RSTR by stepping up and helping where you can and sharing in our long term vision by continuing to hold thru the ups and downs of the market. Your support is appreciated, thank you! 2

4 iii. Overview The cryptocurrency market is filled with many coins that have great ideas with more are being added daily. Unfortunately, there is saturation with coins that offer no more than one or two of the same features that do not accomplish anything other than being merely a fork of something else. While many cryptocurrencies try and lay claim of being something different in their plans, many are simply just selling the news and running on the hype with a lack of implementation. Our vision has always been to focus on the progress and let that speak for itself. Ondori seeks to solve the usability problem by offering a coin that is usable, fun, and rewarding to those who use it. We want to offer real-world usability for peer-to-peer purchases of goods and services thru our RSTR Market, in stores or online, or as a means of social payments (tips, online gestures, p2p, etc). We are built on the foundation of sound technology, that offers privacy and extra security thru masternodes and Proof of Staking. Reward features are set in place to reward for this participation in the RSTR network, which also aids in adding additional security to our network. 3

5 iii. Overview Our capabilities include, but are not limited to: Optional private and transparent transactions Fast, scalable, reliable and secure transactions Reward incentives Global accessibility and ease of use Continued expansion of the Ondori blockchain to include, but also not limited to: Proof of Transaction RSTR Market Exchange services Atomic Swaps Partnerships with other cryptocurrency platforms and retailers The most important part of our development processes, non-technical, will be in the success of expanding the community to reach everyone in every part of their lives. A good coin should be easy to use and easily accessible. Ondori is a coin for everyone and it s our goal to make sure that it will be easy to acquire and easy to be exchanged for goods and services on our RSTR Market and all over the world. 4

7 Quick Intro to Cryptocurrency What is Cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrency, in essence, is digital money created from code. It is a decentralized peer-topeer digital cash network that can be used to purchase goods or services for persons or businesses. Cryptocurrency plans to get rid of the fees people must pay in order to use traditional forms of currency when making transactions from one person to another in different parts of the world. Without the hassles of a middle man, there is a lot of time and money saved to the business or persons transferring money from one to another. There are many security advantages over traditional forms of currency as well, in addition, transactions cannot be reversed randomly by the sender or counterfeited. What is a Block? A block is where all the information of a recent transaction is stored. It s a section of a blockchain and is added to the chain one after the other, and stores the input and output of transactions thus creating a ledger. A method called Cryptography is used to add these blocks to the blockchain, which makes it resistant to modifications. Data can be distributed, but not copied. Each new block records the new information to the chain in a secure and verifiable manner, that is permanent. This chain goes all the way back to when the blockchain was created at the genesis block. What is Blockchain? A cryptocurrency s ledger is known as a blockchain. It stores and records all activities and transactions from the past. These records help to validate ownership of the currency at any given point in the blockchain. A blockchain reverts all the way back to the beginning of the creation with its first transactions. It s the full history of the cryptocurrency. Like a bank statement, it s a virtual ledger. Blockchain technology does not stop with just finances because it can simply be used in many different operations. Efforts are being worked to adopt blockchain technology in other aspects like proof of ownership for assets, voting systems, registrations, and much more. 6

8 Welcome to Ondori RSTR The Ondori Mission Ondori is a rapid secure transaction resource for a private peer-to-peer cryptocurrency network. Inspired by Bitcoin, we will be a growing global decentralized digital currency that will allow you to move money with lightning fast transactions with minimal to no fees. Simply send and receive RST from one address to the next anywhere in the world. We plan an ecosystem that will be easily accessible to anyone from anywhere. The Ondori Vision Our vision is to be a decentralized peer-to-peer cryptocurrency payment resource with realworld usability that will be used all over the world by the citizens of the world to be able to buy and sell goods or services within our RSTR Market, and in stores or over the internet. It's our vision to help introduce Ondori RSTR and cryptocurrency to the large global population that isn't knowledgable about crypto by strategic marketing and the targeting of everyday people doing everyday things in life (work, play, and the everyday lifestyles). What is Ondori RSTR? Ondori RSTR is a fun and easy to use decentralized cryptocurrency with optional privacy that is currently tradeable on our partner exchanges. We offer block rewards in the form of Proof of Stake (PoS) and Masternodes (MN), and in the future, we will also offer our Proof of Transaction (PoT) feature. PoT will be similar to how you can receive cash back for using credit cards, PoT will offer incentives to users who actively spend. These all will work together to also add additional security to the network. Ondori also offers instant transactions (QuickX) with optional privacy (zrst). Privacy allows the user full control of the privacy and anonymity of their transactions. 7

9 RSTR Blockchain Parameters Proof of Stake Many cryptocurrencies use a reward system called Proof of Work (PoW). In PoW, miners spend their computer resources to secure the blockchain by creating new blocks and solving cryptographic math problems, thus being "work". Miners who create the blocks successfully are rewarded. This system requires a lot of computation and electricity to do its job and has been considered to not be economically friendly due to the wastefulness of energy consumption. Rather than having miners spend their computer resources to verify the blockchain thru PoW, Ondori RSTR doesn't require this to generate new coins or secure the network. Instead of PoW, Ondori uses Proof of Stake (PoS). PoS bases the rewards on how much stake each participant has in the network. Users must leave some of their RST undisturbed in their wallet and must be kept online to support the network. For their participation in validating and processing transactions and blocks, and because a user has put their "coins at stake" and they can't be spent, they earn PoS rewards. These participating nodes receive a portion of the block reward per block. These rewards are a portion of the total block reward that is also distributed to masternodes. The distribution is currently split 45% to PoS and 55% to masternodes. Block rewards will be set with a capped staking system at 774 RST per block. These users who stake also secure the network by increasing the difficulty for someone owning a majority of RST within it because those RST are not available to be obtained when being held in wallets. PoS will require the user to leave RST untouched for 51 blocks (51 minutes). RST that has not reached this minimum amount of time are not considered mature and is not staking. The user receives a reward for every time a block is found, and reward time will vary depending on how many RST the user stakes or how many coins are staked by somebody else. The PoS system does not give more weight to RST that is older or to users with longer consecutive uptime. The mature balance is the only weight users have staking. Users can consider each block reward as a lottery with each mature RST as a ticket that increases your chances of winning PoS utilizes less computing power and electricity to secure the blockchain versus Bitcoin and other PoW currencies, making it be economically friendly and much less in fees. PoS also allows for a greater decentralization since RSTR nodes can operate inexpensively and there is no need for large centralized mining farms that you would generally see with many PoW coins. 8

10 RSTR Blockchain Parameters Zerocoin Protocol (zrst) Bitcoin transactions are public. Each transaction is recorded and everyone has the ability to see who sent and received what, and for how much. A lot of information is revealed about the owner or sender and can be used by analytics of blockchain data to guess which addresses belong to what wallets. The information can then be analyzed for patterns and other data to possibly find out the identities of the owner. The Ondori protocol (zrst) is beneficial even if it simply is to not want to allow your personal data to be analyzed for purchasing patterns to be accumulated and sold without your consent to big corporations just to make money off of you. Everybody should have the right to privacy, and there should be some manner of privacy offered to order to keep these transactions private for our users. The RSTR blockchain utilizes a customized version of the Zerocoin protocol that we call zrst. Zerocoin is a type of zeroknowledge proof or zero-knowledge protocol that allows a user to prove specific information without conveying anything other than that they know what it is. This is the key to providing private transactions. The zrst protocol uses a combination of coin mixing and zero-knowledge proofs to allow the masking of a user's balance of RST. Using zrst, we are able to mask a user's true balance by creating the ability to hold a stealth value that cannot be easily traced back to the user's wallet. This eliminates a user concern about being targeted by a hacker because of a high balance that may be on their account. The user has the option to mint units of zrst in their wallet. There are specific denominations that are set up in zrst for this process. When a user decides to send zrst, the person on the receiving end gets RST, and they receive it without anyone knowing where it came from, anonymously. This security is granted by methods of stealth addresses. With stealth addresses, both the sending and receiving wallets would be impossible to trace. When implemented, this is a very powerful tool for any cryptocurrency. This protocol allows users to be assured that their transactions cannot be traced, and uses stealth addresses and encrypted messaging to ensure anonymity. The stealth address feature is incorporated into all wallets in the RSTR network. (Sending with zrst will be enabled in a future update.) 9

11 RSTR Blockchain Parameters Consider the following example of a zrst transaction from buyer to seller 10

12 RSTR Blockchain Parameters Masternodes Ondori RSTR masternodes (MNs) provide the extra services of instant transactions (QuickX) and the processing of zrst private transactions in the network (see Zerocoin Protocol). MNs differ from normal nodes in that it offers the useful functions of facilitating instant transactions, can be able to offer itself as an instrumental tool for governance and management of the blockchain if needed, and allowing it to be possible to help with budgeting and treasury. In addition, owning a MN is a great opportunity for passive income. The ability to set up and operate an RSTR MN can be done by anyone with 3,000,000 RST. The MN will need to be kept online (24/7) and adds additional performance, reliability, and security to the blockchain. These can be run on any port and multiple MNs can use the same IP address (see our multi-node guide). Thru the RSTR wallet, MNs can be monitored to check on status and transactions. Ondori RSTR MN owners maintain the integrity of the blockchain and help in the growth and value of the blockchain over time. In addition, we can't stress enough how much the MNs help to secure the network from 51% and other attacks. For this service, MNs share in a percentage of each block reward with PoS. To set up a MN, a user must lock in a 3,000,000 RST collateral which can be done in the wallet. MNs can be set up to be run via a Virtual Private Server (VPS), on a PC, or even a Raspberry Pi (see our Raspberry Pi guide). Ondori MNs will support IPv6 and multiple MNs can be run on a properly sized IPv6 enabled VPS. For those that cannot operate their own MN, shared MNs can be set up with our third-party partners. MNs can be stopped at any time by the owner. Those taking part in MN hosing or shared node services will need to abide by the termination rules set forth by the platform. For additional privacy, MNs can be set up to also be run using Tor/Onion routers. In order to conceal and protect user information, onion routing is used by Tor, bouncing communication around the distributed network of relays that are run globally. The use of Tor encrypts all network traffic, and the users IP address and data cannot be accessed. 11

13 RSTR Blockchain Parameters QuickX QuickX works through the network of masternodes, to offer the user instant transactions where the transactions are confirmed within seconds. Rather than wait for confirmations, QuickX transactions do not need multiple confirmations like other cryptocurrencies before they are spendable. Proof of Transaction Proof of Transaction currently is in development. PoT will be incentive for users that use RST actively by spending it. Consider it like cash back just for using your RSTR. In addition, PoT will help to secure the network. PoT will be incorporated in our RSTR Market and used to incentivize users to actively participate. 12

15 RSTR Market The RSTR Market (RM) is still in early conception. We have many ideas that we wish to implement, but also must be cautious with how much we do reveal. It s very hard these days to announce an idea without having someone else likes it as much as you do. In brief summary, the RM will be a place where people can come together to buy or sell their goods and services, and where users will be able to buy and pay with RST as payment while earning rewards thru PoT as incentives for their use and activity. The RM will be a peer-to-peer network backed by RSTR blockchain and powered by Proof of Transaction. You will be able to utilize our network to buy and sell goods or services to one another. In addition to buying and selling, the marketplace will be developed to allow you to buy RST direct, set up e-commerce, merchant accounts, debit cards, chat with other users thru our social platform, and much more. While you utilize the RSTR payment system for the intended purposes, you will be eligible to be rewarded with free RST as an incentive for your activity within the network. You can consider PoT like "free cash back" just for your active use and helping to add an additional layer of security. It's important to point out that those that have been loyal community members will be eligible to apply to participate in our beta testing of the RM when the time comes. We suggest that you take the time to remain active loyal participates within our community and do your part to help the Ondori RSTR movement if you'd like to be eligible to participate at that time. 14

16 Marketing and Crypto Market One of the biggest opportunities we have right now is with marketing. In the beginning, there was much optimism for where the market was going to head, but slowly we grew to understand that the market wasn't going to head in the direction that we thought. In an effort to adapt to the declining market we really pulled back on any type of marketing. We elected to allow our project to organically sustain itself. We lost many quick for profit holders and retained many that were interested in the long term aspect of the Ondori RSTR project. We remained stable in the market at 1 satoshi with our BTC pairing. We knew that in order to begin rebuilding upon our value, however, we would need to allow the market to decide the worth. We decided that we would open ETH pairing to help spark the reinterest. While our partner exchange opened RSTR/ETH a bit sooner than scheduled, it still resulted in the effect that we were after. Since pairing with ETH, we took a slight loss of value, but still, are not far from 1 satoshi. Only a handful of orders prevent us from retaining the value of 1 satoshi (and more), and currently, each day we are inching closer as we continue to work thru weaker holders in exchange for new interest. Even with our limited marketing approach, you can see (next page) that our YTD volume since September 2018 has been almost $370k in both BTC and ETH (as of this writing). This is a very good number when you compare our very small community and limited marketing to other comparable projects that have a huge following and have done a lot of marketing in the same 6 months, yet we have been able to still perform better. 15

17 Marketing and Crypto Market Every project does need a good marketing strategy in order to bring new members to the community and to help get people excited about blockchain technology, and marketing also needs to be applied at the correct time. There is no way to succeed and get closer to our vision and goals if we do not work hard together to help educate others about our project and community. Some of the ideas that we will be doing are, but not limited to: Random reward and bounty campaigns Social media campaigns (FB, Twitter, IG, Pinterest, etc) Team Ondori and Ondori Ambassadors program YouTube partnerships (video reviews and/or promotions) Ondori media initiatives (commercials, videos, memes, gifs, etc) 16

18 RSTR Funding Ondori RSTR has been self funded since the start in order to not effect the value of the project by dipping into the set aside budget. At a time in the future when Ondori value is more sustainable, out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed. In the future, Ondori will be funded by a self funding treasury program that is built into the block rewards at 10% each block. As noted, Ondori RSTR does have a project budget set aside of of 4.57b RST for all project initiatives. Community donations are always welcome, and donation drives will be set up to help with future Ondori initiatives if and when needed. 17

19 RSTR Road Map We do have a development path (aka Roadmap) for Ondori RSTR. While we have targeted objectives and goals set place, timeframes for exact implementation and/or releases of products are subject to change. The ideas presented may also be subject to change as well due to events, adaptations and situations that can or may occur. 18

20 Ondori RSTR Summary Ondori was launched without hype and with no marketing push. We wanted to ensure that we offered a promising project with a fair start. Nothing shilled or hyped just to inflate price and dump it on the unsuspecting. We work to produce result and allow progress to speak for itself. We are a project that will be fueled by community involvement to help spread our project to the masses. We are based on honesty, integrity, and doing what s right. We are built on sound technology and our plan is to be at the forefront of the efforts and to become a decentralized payment network that will be used all over the world by the citizens of the world to be able to buy and sell goods or services peer-to-peer, in stores or over the internet, or on our decentralized RSTR market to come. Our vision is to see Ondori RSTR having real-world use and helping to bring cryptocurrency to those in the work, play and everyday areas of life. We hope to see you be a part of helping us fulfill this vision. 19
