Graft Blockchain Launches Mainnet Ahead of Schedule

Graft, the first global, open-sourced payment gateway blockchain network designed for Point-of-Sale, moving ahead of schedule and have launched its main net on January 16, 2018, before the start of the company’s Initial Coin Offering (ICO), which starts on January 18.

Graft is a rare ICO project with its own blockchain. The team is so dedicated to mainstreaming cryptocurrency and making a merchant-friendly solution that they have developed a blockchain that is built around the merchants’ systems and processes, bringing together the most advanced techniques in the space and resolving the issues with the other cryptocurrencies.  Soon, merchants with Graft will be able to accept crypto at the point of sale as easily as they do with cash or credit cards.

Running on its own blockchain sets the GRAFT project apart from its competitors that are based on the ERC20 tokens. As such, the Graft blockchain-based network will not be subject to the underlying Ethereum blockchain conditions such as latency and fees, putting the company in a strong position to be able to offer optimum payment services.

Since the introduction of bitcoin, blockchain technology has been said to change the financial system forever. However, nearly ten years after the launch of bitcoin, not much has changed in the traditional financial system due to the impact of blockchain. One of reasons why the adoption of blockchain-powered cryptocurrencies has not gone mainstream is that many of the existing cryptocurrencies were not designed to be effective as a transaction medium (at point of sale) relative to the existing options such as credit and debit cards.

At present, using bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies is more expensive for consumers than credit and debit cards. A consumer could pay up to $30 in transaction fees. In addition, existing cryptocurrencies do not offer merchants, who are unsure about the legal or tax implications of accepting cryptocurrency payments, the freedom to decide in what currencies (fiat or cryptocurrency) they would like to cash out. Graft is on a mission to solve these existential problems and mainstream the acceptance of cryptocurrency.

Transactions on the Graft network would be confirmed in real-time and transaction fees will be a fraction of those of existing cryptocurrencies, and will be driven by the transaction amount rather than network load as in the case of bitcoin. The Graft network is also built to encourage micro transactions. Moreover, Graft works with existing payment behaviors and infrastructure, allowing merchants to accept payment in both local fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. In other words, Graft enables crypto payments to work as easily and conveniently as MasterCard, Visa and Amex.

The Graft ICO will run between January 18 and February 18, with hard cap of $25 million.  Don’t miss the early contribution to get a 10% bonus in the first 48 hours. If you’re interested in the Graft Network ICO – you may find more info below.

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 ...
