Business Interactive Reward Coin
What is BIRC?
BIRC is an innovative and interactive reward ecosystem that combines local shops, O2O and blockchain. This cryptocurrency on blockchain will generate from interaction with local shops, so mining of cryptocurrency will be no longer funny toy of internet geeks and normal people can also mine in daily life. People can earn cryptocurrency easily when shopping, dining or go to movies.
BIRC defines specialized interactive rewards for every interaction scene with local shops. For instance, you go to restaurant with your family members and dine may produce actions like “rating”, “commenting”, “like” and “Photo uploading”. These actions constitute a set of “collection of interactions in restaurants”. People can receive corresponding “Business Interactive Reward Coin” when finishing an interactive action. When you participate in a concert, it will generate actions like “buying tickets”, “listening/watching”, “video uploading”, “check-in”. These actions will constitute a set of “collection of interactions in exhibition activities”. We will define every physical interaction in daily life. Both local shops and users will receive corresponding rewards when they generate interactions.
This is the first innovative application which combines physical interactive actions and cryptocurrency in the world. We will develop a sound ecosystem from this interaction process at most effort in the future. Users or local shops of BIRC will also create more unforeseen commercial applications, then BIRC will become a really valuable cryptocurrency!

Our Vision
A local business platform better thanGoogle's My Business:
Because of its openness and fairness, the commenting function of Google's ‘My Business’ has gradually replaced promoted posts from traditional bloggers. Coupled with the ‘Local Guide’ mechanism, which can accumulate points, My Business has become a useful tool for local businesses. BIRC salutes Google and releases a commenting and rating mechanism that is more attractive. A cryptocurrency acquisition mechanism based on concept of interactive mining will give a substantial value to the interaction between customer and business. It is expected to compete with Google in three years, and to build better O2O platforms for local businesses together!
Open API Structure:
BIRC Local Business APIs will be enabled in 2020. 3rd party developers can develop reward systems or other creations.
Future Perspective
BIRC is the first cryptocurrency system which is designed for interaction with physical shops. According past experience, we find that mining is only a funny toy of few engineers. For normal people mining and cryptocurrency are very difficult things to get close to. This is diametrically opposed to demand of currency. For now cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum are just investment products and can’t reach the goal of widely accepted by more normal people. But BIRC makes it. With very simple mechanism of interactive mining all people now can receive cryptocurrency. When everyone holds cryptocurrency and can deal with it easily, it meets the demand of circulation. We expect that the following things can be achieved in the future:
- To increase interaction between retailer and guest, also give value
- Ultra-low mining threshold: interaction is mining
- Intuitive reward mechanism
- Create O2Oecosystem, make electronis money useful in daily life
