Israeli Blockchain startup Synereo destroys half of its native cryptocurrency holdings, worth about $146 million dollar

Synereo announced Saturday that it has destroyed an aggregated amount of 731,108,937 AMPs – the company’s native cryptocurrency (worth close to $146,221,787 on the market) – essentially eliminating half of all AMPs in existence.

The destroyed AMPs have been held in various cryptographic wallets, controlled by Synereo, and were originally intended to be part of Synereo’s long term budgeting strategy.

In a blog-post announcing the move, Dor Konforty, Synereo CEO, explained that since Synereo’s platform will utilize a Proof-of-Stake Blockchain, “it would not make sense” for Synereo to control more than 50% of the its Blockchain’s native currency (a Proof-of-Stake Blockchain can be manipulated by the majority holder of its native currency).

“This project will not help anyone if Synereo maintains an entrenched, centralized position. That is why we want to distribute AMPs as soon as we can, to begin establishing a truly decentralized economy. […] It was never our intention to be the central bank for our currency. Such centralization goes against the very principles Synereo stands for, but merely standing for principles is not enough.” – he added.

Synereo further announced that AMPs remaining under the company’s control will be used to compensate developers as an incentive to build decentralized applications that run on top of Synereo’s platform. Additionally, a large part of Synereo’s AMP holdings will be distributed among “new users joining the network, musicians and other content creators […]”, in order to incentivize them to use Synereo’s system as a content distribution platform.

Synereo’s announcement comes 48 hours before the official start of its second fundraising campaign, on Sept 19th, during which a limited amount of the company’s AMP holdings will be offered for public purchase at a fixed price.

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 ...
