Seems like an interesting concept. This will definitely rule out various background check agencies/firms which sometimes report back with bogus/incorrect info. With this, in place its next to impossible to tamper the data and the best part is there is no human involvement as far as verification is concerned. This can be the next generation education verification platform using blockchain.

Will for sure keep an eye on this project and would love to see how this is developed.

Do keep us posted.

It is interesting concept which is good attempt to make the whole verification process easier. I have few questions but would wait for detailed information before addressing anything. It is possible those will be included in full announcement in future as those are common and basic concerns related questions.

Can you provide following details-

1) Is this a POW or POS coin? If POS, what's the ROI percentage?
2) If this is POW, what's algo of the coin?
3) Total supply of the coin.
4) Do you have any premine? If yes, what is the premine percentage?
5) Bounty details if any

Thanks and have a nice day.

Decentralized stores work really well when there are no trustable authorities. With colleges, you have multiple accrediting bodies which certify the trustworthiness of an institution.  How does a blockchain help with this?

You still have:

  • Need to trust the institution writing to the chain
  • Need to verify that the owner of the diploma token is who they say they are


How do you plan to address these problems?

For example, a school has a registrar's office. That office handles transcripts and validations, but multiple people work there. Would they publish all their degrees to the chain? Would they issue a keypair to every student? How would you ensure students don't lose their keypair? If they did, wouldn't you need a way to regenerate them, meaning you'd need a mutable blockchain entry, or you'd need to give a school to ability to move a "degree" from one address to another. Doesn't the ability to do that break the trust that a degree is associated with the correct individual?

1) 2) and 4) It's an Ethereum's ERC20 token
3) and 5) Coming soon
Thank you for your interest :)

How do you plan to address these problems?
1) More details in WP but in short, a third party validator acts as a guarantor for the school's identity, through a smart contract. Our solution makes it possible to link this proof with each diploma in an incontestable and immediatly verifiable way.

2) If I understand your question correctly, name, first name and birthdate will be written on the diploma which in fact is a URL. It's tamper-proof. So recruiter could easily check the identity of the job candidate.

1) It's the school's choice...

2) Students get an URL per diploma, this URL allows a decrypted access to the diploma and students are responsible of it ; they could post it on a social media or send it personnaly to a recruiter.

3) and 4) Students are responsible of their URL, it cannot be reissued ; it's a good way to guarantee the right to be forgotten (European requirement, among others).
In case of loss, the school 'invalidates' the lost diploma on the blockchain (detailed in WP ; cryptographic solution part) and issues a new one.

5) Given that the diploma contains the name, first name and birthdate of the individual, this is not an issue.

Thank you for your questions! Hope this helps...

Is this have and running or beta products?
You know that's a lot of ICO releases daily in this time and I just want to focus on the running projects for sure.

I don't think they have a ready-made working product available. The project itself needs to be funded first so they can start working on it right away.

Thank you for your interest, BCDiploma has detailed specifications and will be co-built with partner institutions in early 2018.

Edit: for translations go to the bounty topic please and fill the form.

Projects that care about the original certificate are very useful to everyone. with the existence of such projects the forgery of the certificate will certainly make it less and make a lot of people know its important a certificate in human life. so I really hope this kind of project can be successful and run its duty to look for talented people with the capabilities it possesses not through counterfeiting.
