Elysian Employee Spotlight: CFO Jesse Brandenburghttps://medium.com/@Elysian_Ely/elysian-employee-spotlight-cfo-jesse-brandenburg-7f6f6fe0844f Jesse Brandenburg is a graduate of Rutgers University with a B.A. in Economics. He is an early investor and cryptocurrency advocate with experience in managing an IT business and advising entrepreneurs. Jesse holds the position of CFO for Elysian — a responsibility that should not be taken lightly in a startup environment. Many start-ups (especially in the ICO space) have trouble managing the money invested. Proper asset management is key to the health and longevity of the business. Due the fashion in which companies procure investments in the ICO space vast amounts of investments come from micro-investors. These investors have easy access to investing in products associated with a particular use or purpose on a company’s platform all while doubling as a crowdfunding method, enabling the company to build out their business idea or software platform without the need for venture capitalists and parting with company equity. Unfortunately these types of investments come with a lack of oversight or accountability for the funds raised. A qualified and trusted CFO is the keeper of these assets, ensuring that proper decisions are made and funds are allocated appropriately in a way that furthers the companies’ goals and ensures continued success on behalf of the organization.

RISE OF GIG INDUSTRY AND CHANGING WORK HABITShttps://medium.com/gigtricks/rise-of-gig-industry-and-changing-work-habits-f45a8b3c0daaThe freelance and on-demand community’s rapid growth is no secret to anyone but do you know how it has changed the work habits in our society? And what factors participated in its growth? Well, for starters let’s first explore the past. It became renowned since America’s economic downturn. Workers gave up on office work and started flocking towards freelance work. They found a thrill in being their own boss by completing online gigs. In the beginning, freelancers were very limited but with the passage of time, the gig industry gained momentum and has now grown globally and has extended immensely.

Tribalism in Crypto is Shortsightedhttps://medium.com/@Murkymerkleroot/tribalism-in-crypto-is-shortsighted-b12d7acc70bdWe all know how lucky we have been in terms of new community members and their willingness to write quality articles about this crucial, decentralized ecosystem. From the concise, educational, and highly technical writing of jstarhead, to the more analytical format of gogo’s offerings, there is no shortage of quality Stakenet content. While having lots of people writing about Stakenet is wonderful, I do think that the Stakenet community — not to mention crypto enthusiasts more generally — deserve to be kept in the loop about other cryptocurrency projects. One of the great quirks of the cryptocurrency space is that the coins that produce the most outlandish whitepaper claims command most of the attention. Here at the XSNArmyBlog, we want readers to break out of their respective echo chambers and at least begin to consider some of the other, equally fascinating projects. In addition to helping XSNArmyBlog readers gain a better sense of the market, this fresh approach will help the crypto world as a whole. Moving forward, be on the lookout for XSNArmyBlog content that reflects this healthier, wide lense approach. As I write this editorial, there are a number of cryptocurrency developers that are quietly innovating but recieving very little recognition. Moreover, if the project doesn’t deal with outright commercialization or is more humanitarian minded, the silence is all the more deafening. Not withstanding the short term, market obsessed FUD, the crytpocurrency ecosystem is as as bright as ever, and there is no reason why notable projects and causes should go unmentioned. The inspiration behind this nuanced approach stemmed from discussions with Stakenet’s head of social media, Rebecca , and our fearless leader, Wolf. While talking with them about the various ways in which a decentralized community might broaden its appeal, it occurred to me that despite its decentralized, community driven roots, crypto can be far too insular. Projects only seem to want to talk about themselves. Frankly, this is a short sighted approach; one chain will not rule them all and the broader decentralized movement is rife with opportunities for collaboration. Despite what the cynics might say, a lot of us are here for the technology.

Shivom was featured in the title story of major German computer magazine Com!https://medium.com/@projectshivom/shivom-was-featured-in-the-title-story-of-major-german-computer-magazine-com-200f6ca00760This month Shivom was featured on the cover of the well know German IT-Magazine Com! The story goes beyond the current hype around artificial intelligence and blockchain, introducing resourceful start-ups that are currently developing solutions that use both techniques. The main message: AI improves Blockchain, Blockchain improves AI. AI and blockchain are the technologies Shivom aims to use to revolutionize healthcare, increasing the speed at which precision medicine is implemented at a lower cost. One central part of it will be artificial intelligence-based diagnostic and drug development. Why? The human genomic machinery with all its facets is exceptionally complex, and we can safely assume that no human being will ever be able to comprehend even a small part of such a complex system. Fortunately, technology advanced to a point where scientists can tackle this problem. The solution is machine learning, where in contrast to lab scientists or physicians, computers look at huge anonymized data sets and use algorithms to classify and recognize features. Already, these algorithms can capture discriminative patterns from genomic data, and using these patterns for prediction hold promise to extract actionable information via data integration. Accordingly, machine learning methods are likely to become ever more critical to genomics as more large data-sets via the Shivom platform become available. The magazine introduces a series of AI blockchain use-cases and explains how they benefit from each other. Smart contracts become more flexible, maintenance predictions more accurate, transactions more verifiable, big data analytics more understandable. In addition, Blockchain experts explain why of the many application scenarios for Blockchain, even small and medium-sized companies can benefit.

Low price will help KEP token on exchange markets — with small starting value and decreased hard cap, KEP token price will rise faster and bring benefits to all KEP holders (Explanatory video will be released next week on our YouTube Channel, so be sure to subscribe — https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnx0TE5MFeLe1uAIYNRqyfA).

Kepler lab From now on, Kepler lab will be a separate project. Due to large interest in obtaining equity share from investors, we decided to give them the opportunity to become shareholders of Kepler Lab. By separating Kepler Lab project, we managed to significantly decrease hard cap and therefore, increased the benefits to KEP holders. 12. Hard cap Hard cap has decreased to 25 000 000 USD. We took into account the suggestions from our community and we made a new plan: to decrease the hard cap and increase the value of benefits for token KEP holders. 13. Token / equity Those who wish to buy tokens can still make an offer on KEP and those who are willing to become shareholders can make an offer on equity.

5 Ways the DataBlockChain Could Revolutionize Big Datahttps://www.newsbtc.com/2018/07/02/5-ways-the-datablockchain-could-revolutionize-big-data/When we think of the blockchain, most of us probably think of finance, cryptocurrencies, and digital ledgers. That makes sense because the blockchain is the tech that supports Bitcoin. However, the blockchain has the power to disrupt and solve problems in other sectors — and one of the most promising and overlooked areas is definitely marketing and advertising. DataBlockChain is a platform seeking to alter how entities and individuals market themselves. The platform democratizes data by making it readily available, less costly, and was dubbed by Forbes as “a fast-rising brand”. Here’s a look at how the platform will merge big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology to disrupt the advertising industry.
