DCore Technical Roadmap 2018 Released

DECENT has just released a technical roadmap created by the developers of their proprietary blockchain called DCore. In the DCore technical roadmap, the development team outlines new additions, improvements and fixes coupled with a short explanation about each. This is the first roadmap from the development team which strictly focuses on DCore. In November 2017, the team publicly launched a series of DCore updates which covered some main features that are unique to their blockchain architecture. Significant points from the November releases are highlighted below followed by the development plans for 2018.

DCore November 2017 Recap

Custom tokens

  • Gave DCore account managers the ability to create their own custom tokens, based on DCT, similar to what ERC20 tokens do for Ethereum. For a real-world application of custom tokens please check out what is being done with ALAX.

Messaging on blockchain

  • Allows users to send messages to one or more accounts – this message is recorded on the DCore blockchain and is encrypted and readable only for the sender and receiver. Plus, since the message is on the blockchain, the message is automatically permanent, tamper proof, and time-stamped.

Seeder ratings

  • Performance and reliability ratings are now monitored and reported.
  • This is useful for publishers to see which seeders are trustworthy and reliable before they choose who will host their content. There are many attributes that are rated and all the info is securely stored on the DCore blockchain.

Seeder settings (option to set seeding costs in FIAT currencies) and seeder plugin

  • It was not possible to set price in fiat currencies at the time of launch. With the November update around 30 currencies were added.

Geolocation of seeders

  • As a seeder, you can set your location. Content providers can then see and choose seeders which are nearby. Location is set in 2-letter country codes (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2).

March 2018 Release

Improved: API enhancement

  • Enhanced documentation — improved comments in the source code that will result in better documentation (Doxygen).
  • Wallet API source code — split into logical groups.
  • Useless APIs removed and new APIs added.

Improved: ElGamal keys remembering

  • Old ElGamal keys will be remembered after account key-pair change
  • Explanation:
    • When a user changes the key-pair, new ElGamal keys are also generated
    • Content purchased under an old key-pair would be rendered inaccessible (as ElGamal keys control access to content – new ElGamal key will not match with the old one)
    • This change fixes that — old content will be accessible under new key-pair
    • This change only affects the CLI wallet

Improved: Ability to firmly set max supply for custom tokens (UIA)

  • Custom tokens (UIA) can be used for ICOs on DCore blockchain

New: Public testnet launch

  • Testnet for public usage. Technologically a mirror of mainnet. It also has a set of public test accounts.
  • This will be linked to detailed documentation upon release.

New: Payment tied to content

  • Support of additional payments and revenue splitting on one piece of content.
  • Previously payment could only be sent to an account.
  • This allows payment to be linked to a digital item, thus allowing in-app purchases.

New: Desktop wallet update

  • Blockchain sync with better descriptions
  • Desktop Wallet Voting

New: CDN support for digital content storage

  • Currently we only support IPFS, however some partners require CDN support. This will also allow applications to bypass seeders.

New documentation

  • More detailed dev and end user documentation with new topics, showcases and guides.

Bug fixes

  • memo decryption.
  • payment splitting.
  • seeding price overflow.

July 2018 Release

Content streaming

  • Upload and download functionalities.

Support for non-transferrable custom tokens (UIAs)

  • Enables larger amount of UIA use-cases.
  • Non-transferrable tickets — usage e.g. school credits.

Vesting

  • Possibility to lock tokens for specified time intervals to get some extra features e.g. transactions without fees.

DMCA notifications and process

  • Possibility to stop the seeding of illegal content.

 

The team at DECENT looks to be focusing on their technology, making usability and infrastructure for dapp developers a big priority for 2018. They released a company roadmap at the beginning of this year which highlighted the importance of DCore.

“DCore is a platform, not only for content distribution but for a wide range of use cases. Since our technology is open-source, developers and companies can use DCore for their projects, making the list of use cases essentially endless.” – DECENT Roadmap

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

The concept of a blockchain – a distributed, tamper-proof and time-stamped database of transactions that can be managed without intermediaries – is highly attractive in the supply chain domain, and the industry has launched a number of proof-of-concept initiatives.

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
