DPoS – The Hottest Thing in Blockchain; A Look Inside DCore DPoS Mining

DECENT is on the verge of releasing a new miner voting tool for their DCore network which will make it easy for DCT holders to vote for miners in DCore. On the brink of this news, it’s beneficial to look deeper into how DCore mining works, why voting in DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) is so important, and why DECENT chose DPoS for their blockchain technology and platform.

In DCore DPoS consensus mechanism, stakeholders (DCT holders) have a responsibility to make sure the network is appropriately distributed to ensure the health and security of the blockchain. DCT holders do this by voting for delegates to become witnesses. It is important to point out that in DPoS, miners are often called witnesses and they are responsible for creating blocks in the blockchain. The number of active witnesses running the network is voted on by DCT holders and the more DCT one holds, the more impact each vote has. Currently, the DCore blockchain is maintained by 33 active witnesses.

Witnesses have a huge responsibility and are crucial to the integrity of the blockchain, therefore, they should not be chosen at random, instead, they should have a proven track record before being considered. Witnesses run servers (nodes) which process and organize data into blocks and validate them into the blockchain. Every block is created by one active witness who is chosen at random from the list of active witnesses. That witness is tasked with creating and validating a new block and adding it to the current blockchain. If a witness misses a block, it is passed to another active witness. This process happens extremely quick making DPoS the fastest consensus mechanism to date (5 seconds in DCore). Active witnesses also vote collectively for several parameters of DCore such as block size (2MB), block creation intervals (5 seconds), fees, and more.

Stakeholders also have the power to remove their votes for any witness if they become unreliable (miss too many blocks), which helps reinforce a democratic environment. Votes are counted every 24 hour period and the list of active miners changes accordingly. Another feature of DPoS, is that stakeholders can delegate their voting rights to another stakeholder, allowing for voting pools and other trusted users to vote by proxy for those that don’t wish to vote directly themselves but still want to protect the network.

The insanely fast speed of transactions and energy efficiency makes DPoS perfect for a blockchain focused on real world applications, such as DCore. In this regard, it’s not difficult to understand why DECENT chose it for their blockchain technology and platform.

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

Blockchain Supply Chain Forum will be held on January 10th in Hong Kong

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. However, awareness of how blockchains work and what they can accomplish for supply chain is still relatively low. The lack of knowledge is exacerbated by the fast pace at which the technology is evolving. A success Blockchain Supply Chain Forum was held on October 24th in Shanghai, professional blockchain organizer EventLinker and Global Supply Chain Council will organize the Blockchain Supply Chain Forum on January 10th in Hong Kong, it is the forum connecting blockchain experts, supply chain and logistics decision makers and tech innovators. This intimate gathering will explore how companies are investigating the use and deployment of the technology to help their supply chains in China. Organizer: EventLinker EventLin

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
