A plugin and culture of federated blockchains

Bitsend and Europecoin are sharing more then just a similar kind of history, both being one of the very few examples, of a successful takeover. Since a few weeks they are official partners, sharing their resources, like marketing capabilities, developers, web-developers and much more. This successful collaboration, to smoothen progress and to ensure high quality, in time delivery, could be a model for many altcoins out there. And there is more behind this concept. Collaboration to strengthen each other while valuing diversity among altcoins, could be movement towards a new altcoin self-conception.

So they got together with Diamond Foundation, one of the most successful first generation altcoins and created the “Federated Blockchain Initiative”, to build a plugin, that reflects their collaborative approach. It describes a Coin 2.0 Servicebus with unified, open, permissionless access for any altcoin or service.

Quickly more and more developers are joining and a new movement is born. In our interview they highlighted, the unique idea to build a network with social impact in mind, has significant implications, when it comes to constructing networks without borders.

Federation (as it should be) is a social structure, that gives every member the freedom and the space to preserve its own uniqueness, sovereignty and identity. It brings community’s as close together as possible to enable collaboration and to celebrate diversity …. and it should be scripted.

On our first view their concept looked as it would just add an ethereum like layer, but the difference comes from two very significant details:

1) Unification of API Interfaces

It does this this job for ANY Coin in a unified manner at the same time in one big network. And it does it via a plugin, that doesn’t require users of any altcoin (or Bitcoin), to depend on their coin being “added to a network”. Users can just decide to plug into this ecosystem on their own, without any help or interaction, just by configuring the plugin towards the coins RPC interface. Total user-control, absolutely permisssionless.

2) Hierarchical Unification

Second difference is that coins and apps and services are not different layers or entities any more. Users can connect coins to services, coins to coins or add already existing services, even those that, are already existing on other blockchains, to their servicelayer, in one unified manner. Coins are services in the same way, as apps are services, like in HTML5: EVERYTHING IS AN APP.

Given the mix of three highly active communities in one organisation, we will be able to enjoy, rapid results and exciting news in just a few month.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
