Proof-of-ROI™

The Marketing Proof Wallet

A Blockchain-Audited, Self-Funding Marketing Ledger

What this page documents

This page documents a real-world marketing system where costs, income, and operational adjustments are recorded transparently and anchored to the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain.

The figures shown here are not projections, screenshots, or estimates.
They are historical ledger entries supported by internal accounting records and immutable on-chain proof.

The experiment in one sentence

A marketing system was launched using a single fixed external cost of $2.24 (R38.31), after which all activity became self-funding, with income and expenses recorded over time using a fixed-cost rolling ROI model.

Why this exists

Marketing performance is usually reported through:

  • editable dashboards

  • platform-controlled analytics

  • selective screenshots

This experiment answers a different question:

What does marketing look like when it is treated as a verifiable financial ledger instead of a claim?

Relationship to the 1-Cent Challenge (important clarification)

This marketing system forms part of the broader


1-Cent → 1 BSV → $1 Million Proof-of-Skill™ Challenge.

Funding source (transparent disclosure)

The fixed marketing cost of $2.24 (R38.31) was not injected as new personal capital.

It was funded entirely from profits generated by the 1-Cent Challenge itself.

This means:

  • No new external capital was introduced

  • No additional personal risk was taken

  • The challenge rules were not altered

The marketing system was therefore bootstrapped from surplus, in line with the Wealth Creators Strategy.

Standalone replication perspective

For clarity and independent replication:

If an independent third party were to reproduce this marketing system from scratch, without prior challenge profits, the required external capital would be $2.24 (R38.31).

This page documents the system from that standalone perspective, so that it can be independently understood, tested, and verified.

The marketing action

  • Initial distribution executed on 2 December 2025

  • 50,000 SATS distributed per participant

  • 216 participants globally

  • Live on-chain transaction during the webinar

  • OP_RETURN messages embedded

  • Cryptographic SHA256 hash of a supporting PDF anchored on-chain

Valuation baseline

The first formal valuation checkpoint occurred on:

3 December 2025 at 08:00

This timestamp serves as the baseline for all rolling ROI calculations.
Figures continue to update as new income or expense events are recorded.

The Marketing Proof Wallet

A dedicated wallet (Marketing-Proof-2025) was created for this system.

This wallet is not used to store wealth.

Its sole purpose is to:

Preserve an immutable audit trail linking marketing actions to financial outcomes.

It records:

  • marketing-related TXIDs

  • OP_RETURN proof entries

  • timestamps and hashes

It does not function as a treasury.

The core principle: Fixed-Cost, Rolling ROI

Step 1 — Fixed external cost (taken once)

  • USD: $2.24

  • ZAR: R38.31

  • Executed once on 2 December 2025

This represents the total external capital at risk.

Step 2 — No dilution of the cost base

After launch:

  • No personal funds were added

  • No new marketing budgets were introduced

  • No costs were retroactively applied

The original cost base remains permanently fixed.

Step 3 — Self-funded growth from surplus

After the baseline valuation:

  • Additional SATS distributions occurred

  • Traffic generation continued

  • Operational expenses were incurred

All such activity was funded exclusively from profits generated by the system, not from new external capital.

This follows a core Wealth Creators principle:

Growth should be funded by surplus, not by increasing risk.

Step 4 — ROI reflects real system behaviour

Income and expenses are recorded as they occur, including:

  • positive income days

  • negative expense days (e.g. affiliate commissions)

ROI therefore reflects actual system performance, not idealised marketing claims.

Negative entries may occur due to operational expenses such as affiliate commissions. These are paid from internally generated profits and do not alter the original external cost base.

Accounting & reconciliation note

The financial figures displayed on this page are sourced from the company’s internal accounting records, where revenues are reported net of direct costs, including applicable South African VAT, affiliate commissions, and deal-specific bonuses.

In some cases, operational expenses are recognised after the initial revenue entry due to timing differences in invoicing or settlement. When this occurs, reconciliation entries are recorded transparently in the ledger to reflect the final realised outcome. Historical entries are never removed; adjustments are shown explicitly.

FAQ

Did this really only cost $2.24?

Yes — $2.24 (R38.31) was the only external capital injected to initiate this marketing system.


That cost occurred once, on 2 December 2025, and is permanently fixed.

All subsequent activity was funded from internally generated profits, not new personal or external capital.

But you paid affiliate fees — doesn’t that increase the cost?

Affiliate fees are operational expenses, not external capital injections.

They were:

- paid from profits,

- recorded transparently,

- reflected as negative ledger entries when applicable.

They do not alter the original external cost base used for ROI calculations.

Why is there a negative day in the ledger?

Because real systems incur real costs.

Negative entries reflect operational expenses (e.g. affiliate commissions) that were recognised after revenue due to invoicing or settlement timing.

These entries are included deliberately to reflect true system behaviour.

Are the numbers gross or net?

All figures shown are net realised amounts, sourced from internal accounting records after:

- South African VAT,

- affiliate commissions,

- deal-specific bonuses and direct costs.

This avoids inflated or misleading reporting.

Why doesn’t the ROI reset for new marketing activity?

Because no new external capital was added.

This system follows a fixed-cost rolling ROI model, where:

- the initial risk is taken once,

- surplus funds ongoing activity,

- ROI measures system performance, not budget escalation.

Isn’t this misleading compared to traditional marketing ROI?

No — it is simply different.

Traditional marketing tracks campaigns.
This tracks a self-funding system.

Both are valid, but they answer different questions.

Can someone else replicate this without the 1-Cent Challenge?

Yes.

From a standalone perspective, anyone can replicate this structure by deploying $2.24 (R38.31) as initial capital and following the same system.

The relationship to the 1-Cent Challenge is disclosed transparently for context, not dependency.

Can the blockchain records be altered later?

No.

TXIDs, OP_RETURN entries, and SHA256 hashes are immutable once confirmed on-chain.
Historical entries cannot be edited or deleted.

Is this an investment offer or promise of results?

No.

This page documents historical, verifiable events only.
It makes no guarantees or projections.
