Our new article about Centz and Gift Card Market


Centz — Use all your giftcards like never before
One of Centz’s long term goals is to forge Gold Bucks into a stand-alone cryptocurrency that will be traded as an valuable asset itself while being utilized for all kinds of stored value transfers.

To reach that pivot point, Centz is constructing the most efficient gift card registration and trading platform in the world.
Registering all individual identities and gift card balances on the blockchain eliminates the biggest problems and restrictions for the safe and secure use of gift cards. Concurrently, Centz will disrupt the gift card market leveraging the blockchain to generate revenue in ways that have never been done before.
 
Blockchain technology allows Centz to deliver cutting edge security to totally eliminate fraud and money laundering. Similar to credit cards, the % of fraudulent activity is on the rise which ruins the shopping experience for all. Our proprietary blockchain solutions will be adopted by the retail industry once breakage is eliminated. Partnering with Centz is the only way that the industry can “make up” for the lost funds of breakage.
Currently the industry pays 4 ½% to both the issuer and seller of gift cards. Centz will provide both of these functions together more efficiently and at lower cost by issuing totally safe egift cards securely locked on to our blockchain.
 
As the shift to online, storage, sales and delivery of egift cards increases, the Centz wallet will become the only option which combines gift, reward, loyalty and coupon credits in one place, so they are always available for immediate use.
 
Centz’s vision is one where we see the true potential of gift cards by combining the use of the blockchain, which will enable Centz to revolutionize the payment industry in ways that are unimagined today by this sleepy and forgotten industry.

Centz Crowdsale Date has been changed to March 31st

As OpenLedger has managed to get a good amount of extra partners involved and to allow them all to benefit of the time to introduce US based Centz to their network, it has been decided to move the start date of the Centz token crowdsale to March 31st 2017. The partners will be announced step by step in coming weeks.

OpenLedger Investments ApS will be the inital beneficiary of all funds collected in this crowdsale and will make sure in co-operation with the designated escrow partners that funds released for Centz is happening according to set milestones.

OpenLedger Investments ApS as offical and lead investor into Centz will have equity in the company Centz and all investors having joined the Centz crowdsale will have an equivalent access to all as well as the revenues on the base of dividend so called token drop via the token CNTZ issued and distributed on OpenLedger and its BItShares network.  

OpenLedger Aps and its decentralized ecosystems will receive payment for the handling and operation of the ITO (Initial Token Offering) of which the asset holders ICOO will benefit receiving an approximate 3% of total amount crowdfunded as part of the revenue distribution. This future revenue will hopefully be the second significant indicator of the value of the future ICOO.

Since another estimated 1,5% will be used on OBITS and BTSR, Centz will be the second proof of value based on the incorporated crossmarketing features involving the entire OpenLedger DC.

Finally all Centz investors including OpenLedger Investments will receive an option to buy into OpenLedger revenues via the official token of the OpenLedger DC called OBITS in the form of a warrant. This warrant as well as the token CNTZ is to be distributed and possibly traded from second week of crowdsale.

I hope you will all enjoy and take part in these projects as part of building proof of work almost, of a Crowdfunding platform expected to launch finally last quarter of 2017, however, using the tools, solutions, network and partners to roll out one proof after the other in coming months allowing me to think we are about to present something special and unique not offered by anyone, anywhere in the world.

End goal here is to allow a Crowdfunding solution involving consumers, investors, developers and startups to enjoy great results on the base of digital leadership through a decentralized conglomerate of ecosystems.

CENTZ’s much-anticipated ITO will be delayed until further notice, stating that the owners of Centz, in view of the most recent developments, need to double-check the legal arrangements regarding USA citizens participating in the crowdsale.  It is commendable that CENTZ has this view and observes the highest professional standards in conducting business.

The future date of the ITO will be announced on OpenLedger newsfeeds, once determined.

Participants in the CENTZ ITO have flexibility in what they wish to do with the tokens they have purchased up to date.

Participants may:
- Hold on to their tokens until the confirmed, official ITO takes place
- Convert their tokens to OBITS
- Have their funds returned to them upon request by emailing Ronny Boesing at [email protected]

Ronny Boesing, Founder of OpenLedger, the platform hosting the ITO explained, “This can only be viewed as a positive as CENTZ will be more mature by the time they go public, and this will create less risk for participants.”

Should you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly at [email protected]
Kindest regards,

The OpenLedger Team

DO GIFTCARDS MAKE CENTZ?


Do you have unspent gift cards? Are you still worried about the remaining balance in gift cards that cannot be used totally? Gift cards are the most popular form of a prepaid product sold in the USA. In 2016 alone, $160 billion dollars of gift cards in the United States, and $750 billion worldwide, have been sold, and up to 20% of them have never be redeemed. Centz, based in Denmark is the first company to leverage and apply blockchain technology to fundamentally change the gift card industry forever.
 
Centz’s creation of a universal gift card registry will be blockchain based and represent a chance to reimagine existing businesses, and create new business opportunities. This is where not only the identity of each gift card holder will be registered, but also where every gift card, reward and loyalty credit will be placed, onto the Centz mobile wallet.
 
However, the recent explosion in the use of gift cards has created a situation where millions of people have multiple unused gift cards with fractional balances that now sit abandoned and unused in homes all around the world.
 
According to a Blackhawk Network survey, 53% of shoppers receive cards and forget about them and 26% of shoppers receive cards for a retailer, restaurant or other merchant that they don’t frequent. 97% of those with unused gift cards had up to 10 unused gift card.
 
The surge in gift card purchases has proved hugely profitable for the retailers that issue them and the Credit CARD Act did not do much to address what happens when the less than the face value of a gift card is used and then the fractional balance sit in the junk drawer in perpetuity.
 
Jon Bricken, CEO of CENTZ, says, “What is interesting is that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) allows companies to take unused gift-card money as income (breakage) once they can reasonably say the card won’t be redeemed, but there’s no set time limit. Many consumers do not use gift cards that they are given, resulting in unexercised customer rights, commonly known as breakage. We are giving the money back to the intended recipient.”
 
Bricken continued, “Retailers have recognized that it is increasingly to their benefit to sell more and more gift cards as up to 20% will never be redeemed and subsequently those unused funds can flow directly to the bottom line without having to deliver any goods or services.”
 
Ronny Boesing, CEO of OpenLedger agrees that Centz has found an ingenious solution to a genius system, stating, “Centz understands this as an opportunity to unlock or decouple these funds and turn them into universal forms of currency transfer and or payment worldwide. We believe this business model will give Centz the ability to unlock a large portion of this huge, multi billion-dollar market.”
 
The ITO for Centz will be announced shortly. Stay tuned.

COMPANY GIFT CARD PROGRAMS MAKE MORE SENSE WITH CENTZ


Gift cards are one of the most popular gift giving items, but the companies offering gift cards have programes which are inflexible or even misleading, giving users not many options to use their gift cards fully or replace the unwanted ones. This allows the retailers to get huge amounts of unspent balances. Centz, the world’s first gift card wallet and exchange, based on blockchain technology, will stop this by giving users the ability to use their gift cards in a flexible way, allowing companies to get more customers and gain additional income.

CEO and Founder of CENTZ, Jon Bricken, says, “Historical consumer behavior trends show that a portion of many gift cards will never be redeemed. Today, the gift card market is enormous and it is growing 10% per year, worldwide.“

As the world’s first gift card wallet and exchange system, Centz has a lot of benefits for users, as they can use their gift cards in a flexible way — but users aren’t the only ones who benefit from the Centz.
Centz also has great value for companies.
