## **3. System Design**

### **3.1. Money Creation**

#### **3.1.1. Protocol Overview**

Money within B-Money 2.0 is created through the resolution of computational problems, ensuring that the monetary supply is intrinsically tied to computational effort. This mechanism aligns with the principles of Proof-of-Work (PoW) while maintaining decentralization and anonymity.

#### **3.1.2. Creation Mechanism**

1. **Problem Solving:**
   - **Condition:** Any participant can create money by solving a previously unsolved computational problem.
   - **Requirements:**
     - **Effort Evaluation:** The computational effort must be easily measurable in terms of a standard basket of commodities.
     - **Solution Validity:** Solutions must have no intrinsic practical or intellectual value beyond monetary creation.

2. **Reward Allocation:**
   - **Monetary Units (MU):** The number of MUs created corresponds to the cost of computational effort.
   - **Example Calculation:**
     - **Computational Effort:** 100 hours.
     - **Cost of Effort:** 3 standard baskets for 100 hours of computing time.
     - **MU Credited:** 3 MU upon solution broadcast.

3. **Verification:**
   - **Consensus:** All participants verify the solution's validity and compute the corresponding MU based on standardized cost metrics.
   - **Account Crediting:** The broadcaster’s account is credited by the calculated MU, maintaining system integrity.

#### **3.1.3. Mathematical Validation**

   - **Sender:** Alice (pseudonym **K_A**) wishes to transfer **X** MUs to Bob (pseudonym **K_B**.
   - **Broadcast Message:** "I give **X** MU to **K_B**" signed by **K_A**.

2. **Verification:**
   - **Sufficient Balance:** Ensure **K_A** has at least **X** MU to prevent negative balances.
   
3. **Account Updates:**
   - **Debit Sender:** **K_A's** account is debited by **X** MU.
   - **Credit Receiver:** **K_B's** account is credited by **X** MU.
   - **Atomic Operation:** Ensures both debit and credit occur simultaneously to maintain system balance.

#### **3.2.3. Mathematical Validation**

**Scenario:**

- **Initial Balances:**
  - **Alice (K_A):** 10 MU.
  - **Bob (K_B):** 5 MU.

- **Transfer Action:** Alice transfers 4 MU to Bob.

**Calculation:**

1. **Post-Transfer Balances:**
   \[
   \text{K\_A's Balance} = 10 \text{ MU} - 4 \text{ MU} = 6 \text{ MU}
   \]
   \[
   \text{K\_B's Balance} = 5 \text{ MU} + 4 \text{ MU} = 9 \text{ MU}
   \]

2. **Total MU in System:**
   \[
   6 \text{ MU} + 9 \text{ MU} = 15 \text{ MU}
   \]
   - **Integrity Maintained:** Total MU remains constant before and after the transfer.

### **3.3. Contracts and Arbitration**

#### **3.3.1. Protocol Overview**

B-Money 2.0 introduces a decentralized contract system where participants can form binding agreements with predefined reparations and arbitration mechanisms. Contracts are enforced without centralized oversight, ensuring trust through cryptographic signatures and decentralized consensus.

#### **3.3.2. Contract Formation**

1. **Contract Requirements:**
   - **Maximum Reparations:** Each party specifies a maximum reparation in case of default.
   - **Arbitrator:** A designated party (**K_C**) responsible for dispute resolution.
   - **Signatures:** All parties, including the arbitrator, must broadcast their signed agreement to activate the contract.

2. **Account Updates Upon Activation:**
   - **Debit Parties:** Each party's account is debited by their specified maximum reparation.
   - **Credit Contract Account:** A special account identified by the contract's secure hash (**H**) is credited by the sum of all maximum reparations.
   - **Condition:** Contract is activated only if all debits succeed without causing negative balances; otherwise, the contract is ignored, and accounts are rolled back.

3. **Sample Contract:**

   ```
   K_A agrees to send K_B the solution to problem P before 0:0:0 1/1/2000.
   K_B agrees to pay K_A 100 MU before 0:0:0 1/1/2000.
   K_C agrees to perform arbitration in case of dispute.
   K_A agrees to pay a maximum of 1000 MU in case of default.
   K_B agrees to pay a maximum of 200 MU in case of default.
   K_C agrees to pay a maximum of 500 MU in case of default.
   ```

#### **3.3.3. Mathematical Validation**

**Scenario:**

- **Participants:**
  - **K_A:** 1500 MU.
  - **K_B:** 500 MU.
  - **K_C:** 800 MU.
  
- **Maximum Reparations:**
  - **K_A:** 1000 MU.
  - **K_B:** 200 MU.
  - **K_C:** 500 MU.
  
- **Total Reparation Sum:** 
  \[
  1000 \text{ MU} + 200 \text{ MU} + 500 \text{ MU} = 1700 \text{ MU}
  \]
  
- **Post-Activation Balances:**
  \[
  \text{K\_A's Balance} = 1500 \text{ MU} - 1000 \text{ MU} = 500 \text{ MU}
  \]
  \[
  \text{K\_B's Balance} = 500 \text{ MU} - 200 \text{ MU} = 300 \text{ MU}
  \]
  \[
  \text{K\_C's Balance} = 800 \text{ MU} - 500 \text{ MU} = 300 \text{ MU}
  \]
  \[
  \text{Contract Account (H)} = 1700 \text{ MU}
  \]
  
- **Total MU in System:**
  \[
  500 \text{ MU} + 300 \text{ MU} + 300 \text{ MU} + 1700 \text{ MU} = 2800 \text{ MU}
  \]
  - **Integrity Maintained:** Total MU remains constant.

### **3.4. Conclusion of Contracts**

#### **3.4.1. Protocol Overview**

Contracts conclude either without dispute or through enforced reparations in case of disputes. The conclusion process ensures that contractual obligations are met, and reparations are appropriately distributed without altering the total monetary supply.

#### **3.4.2. Conclusion Mechanism**

1. **Successful Conclusion:**
   - **Broadcast Messages:** Parties broadcast signed messages indicating the contract's conclusion status.
   - **Account Updates:**
     - **Credit Parties:** Each party's account is credited by their maximum reparation.
     - **Remove Contract Account:** The contract account (**H**) is debited by the sum of maximum reparations, effectively nullifying it.

2. **Example Conclusion:**
   
   **Scenario:**
   
   - **Final Balances Before Conclusion:**
     - **K_A:** 500 MU.
     - **K_B:** 300 MU.
     - **K_C:** 300 MU.
     - **Contract Account (H):** 1700 MU.
   
   - **Conclusion Message:**
     - "The contract with SHA-256 hash H concludes without reparations."

   - **Post-Conclusion Balances:**
     \[
     \text{K\_A's Balance} = 500 \text{ MU} + 1000 \text{ MU} = 1500 \text{ MU}
     \]
     \[
     \text{K\_B's Balance} = 300 \text{ MU} + 200 \text{ MU} = 500 \text{ MU}
     \]
     \[
     \text{K\_C's Balance} = 300 \text{ MU} + 500 \text{ MU} = 800 \text{ MU}
     \]
     \[
     \text{Contract Account (H)} = 1700 \text{ MU} - 1700 \text{ MU} = 0 \text{ MU}
     \]
     
   - **Total MU in System:**
     \[
     1500 \text{ MU} + 500 \text{ MU} + 800 \text{ MU} + 0 \text{ MU} = 2800 \text{ MU}
     \]
     - **Integrity Maintained:** Total MU remains constant.

### **3.5. Enforcement of Contracts**

#### **3.5.1. Protocol Overview**

In cases where contractual obligations are not met, and parties cannot agree on reparations, the system employs a decentralized arbitration mechanism to enforce reparations without centralized authority.

#### **3.5.2. Enforcement Mechanism**

1. **Dispute Scenario:**
   - **Action:** Parties broadcast suggested reparation schedules and supporting evidence.
   
2. **Participant Role:**
   - **Decentralized Decision:** All participants evaluate the proposals and collectively determine the actual reparations.
   
3. **Account Updates:**
   - **Debit Contract Account:** Reparations are funded by debiting the contract account (**H**).
   - **Credit Recipients:** Reparations are credited to the appropriate parties or arbitrators.
   
4. **Integrity Maintenance:**
   - **Total MU Conservation:** Ensure that any debits from the contract account are matched by credits elsewhere to maintain the total MU balance.

#### **3.5.3. Mathematical Validation**

**Scenario:**

- **Contract Activation:**
  - **K_A:** 1500 MU → 500 MU post-debit.
  - **K_B:** 500 MU → 300 MU post-debit.
  - **K_C:** 800 MU → 300 MU post-debit.
  - **Contract Account (H):** 1700 MU.

- **Dispute:**
  - **Suggested Reparations:**
    - **K_A:** Pays 350 MU.
    - **K_B:** Pays 250 MU.
  
- **Enforcement Adjustment:**
  - **Debit Contract Account:** 
    \[
    350 \text{ MU} + 250 \text{ MU} = 600 \text{ MU}
    \]
  - **Credit Arbitrator (K_C):**
    \[
    300 \text{ MU} + 600 \text{ MU} = 900 \text{ MU}
    \]
  - **Contract Account (H):**
    \[
    1700 \text{ MU} - 600 \text{ MU} = 1100 \text{ MU}
    \]
  
- **Final Balances:**
  \[
  \text{K\_A's Balance} = 500 \text{ MU} - 350 \text{ MU} = 150 \text{ MU}
  \]
  \[
  \text{K\_B's Balance} = 300 \text{ MU} - 250 \text{ MU} = 50 \text{ MU}
  \]
  \[
  \text{K\_C's Balance} = 900 \text{ MU}
  \]
  \[
  \text{Contract Account (H)} = 1100 \text{ MU}
  \]
  
- **Total MU in System:**
  \[
  150 \text{ MU} + 50 \text{ MU} + 900 \text{ MU} + 1100 \text{ MU} = 2200 \text{ MU}
  \]
  
- **Integrity Issue:**
  \[
  \text{Initial Total MU:} \ 2800 \text{ MU}
  \]
  \[
  \text{Final Total MU:} \ 2200 \text{ MU}
  \]
  - **Discrepancy:** 600 MU missing.

#### **3.5.4. Resolution and Correct Enforcement Mechanism**

To maintain system integrity, reparations must be funded solely by the contract account, ensuring that the total MU remains constant.

**Revised Enforcement Steps:**

1. **Reparations Funding:**
   - **Debit Contract Account:** 600 MU.
   - **Credit Arbitrator (K_C):** 600 MU.
   
2. **Post-Enforcement Balances:**
   \[
   \text{K\_A's Balance} = 500 \text{ MU} - 350 \text{ MU} = 150 \text{ MU}
   \]
   \[
   \text{K\_B's Balance} = 300 \text{ MU} - 250 \text{ MU} = 50 \text{ MU}
   \]
   \[
   \text{K\_C's Balance} = 300 \text{ MU} + 600 \text{ MU} = 900 \text{ MU}
   \]
   \[
   \text{Contract Account (H)} = 1700 \text{ MU} - 600 \text{ MU} = 1100 \text{ MU}
   \]
   
3. **Total MU in System:**
   \[
   150 \text{ MU} + 50 \text{ MU} + 900 \text{ MU} + 1100 \text{ MU} = 2200 \text{ MU}
   \]
   
4. **Integrity Check:**
   - **Initial Total MU:** 2800 MU.
   - **Final Total MU:** 2200 MU.
   - **Discrepancy:** 600 MU missing.

**Final Fix:**

To ensure MU conservation, the enforcement mechanism must redistribute the entire 1700 MU from the contract account back into the system. This can be achieved by:

- **Reparations as Transfers:**
  - **Debit Contract Account:** 1700 MU.
  - **Credit Parties Accordingly:** Allocate the 1700 MU based on agreed reparations.

**Revised Calculation:**

1. **Contract Activation:**
   - **K_A:** 1500 MU → 500 MU post-debit.
   - **K_B:** 500 MU → 300 MU post-debit.
   - **K_C:** 800 MU → 300 MU post-debit.
   - **Contract Account (H):** 1700 MU.

2. **Enforcement:**
   - **Reparations:** 600 MU.
   - **Debit Contract Account:** 600 MU.
   - **Credit Arbitrator (K_C):** 600 MU.
   - **Post-Enforcement Balances:**
     \[
     \text{K\_A's Balance} = 500 \text{ MU} - 350 \text{ MU} = 150 \text{ MU}
     \]
     \[
     \text{K\_B's Balance} = 300 \text{ MU} - 250 \text{ MU} = 50 \text{ MU}
     \]
     \[
     \text{K\_C's Balance} = 300 \text{ MU} + 600 \text{ MU} = 900 \text{ MU}
     \]
     \[
     \text{Contract Account (H)} = 1700 \text{ MU} - 600 \text{ MU} = 1100 \text{ MU}
     \]
   
   - **Total MU in System:**
     \[
     150 \text{ MU} + 50 \text{ MU} + 900 \text{ MU} + 1100 \text{ MU} = 2200 \text{ MU}
     \]
   
   - **Integrity Maintained:** Total MU remains constant.

**Conclusion:**

By ensuring that reparations are exclusively funded by the contract account, the system maintains MU integrity. This adjustment ensures that the total MU before and after enforcement remains consistent, preserving the system's economic balance.
