Mar 29th Terracoin Update – Infrastructurehttps://steemit.com/bitcoin/@clockuniverse/mar-29th-terracoin-update-infrastructureThe web infrastructure for Terracoin is growing fast! TheSin has rolled out another amazing web page that gives everyone the ability to monitor the whole masternode and governance network. This new page is called Overview ( https://overview.terracoin.io/). It joins Services ( https://services.terracoin.io/) and Insight ( https://insight.terracoin.io/) as important links in the usability and monitoring of Terracoin. Overview gives everyone the ability to check out the masternode network in an easy to use and helpful way. It also gives you the ability to look at current and past governance objects. Having this data available to the public is extremely important because it helps us work together as a community and provides clear information on the network. Now that we have three websites all with different uses I am sure you are wondering which one is right for you. If you have a masternode and want to monitor it, have one click voting then sign up for Services. If you want to look up an address, a transaction, or look at blocks use Insight. If you want to check out the whole masternode network, the status of masternodes, and governance objects then check out Overview. At this point, because of TheSin’s hard work, our web infrastructure rivals Dash’s infrastructure. Besides Dash, I don’t know of any other masternode coin that even comes close to this level of framework. Next on the list! Did everyone check out the Zazzle store that Abettorpin set up? It has Terracoin swag that you can get so you can help spread the TRC word in real life. The Terracoin Foundation doesn’t make any money off it, and Abettorpin has seriously tried to make no money off it too, so check it out! I specifically like this thumb drive because you can store your wallet.dat file on it and know which thumb drive your backup wallet is on. I am running out of space here, so I wanted to also mention that the Superblock is about to happen so now is the time to get in your proposals for the next Superblock! If you need help putting in a proposal feel free to ask on Mattermost, but the easiest way right now is through Services. On the testnet I have used the in-wallet proposal creation and I must admit that it is awesome, and I can’t wait till we can roll that out! Thanks to everyone in the community who has made Terracoin what it is today. I see a major price jump in our future! Active Proposals – Newest to Oldest – Voting has ended!

Stepping Away From The Oracles Concept: Voting Rules Reconsideredhttps://medium.com/theabyss/stepping-away-from-the-oracles-concept-voting-rules-reconsidered-e6fe43d545faDear all, we loved the Oracles idea, and still it is good enough, we think. But, to be honest, we couldn’t find a universal way to prove to all our supporters that the Oracles would be and would act 100% independently. Despite all our efforts, we’re still hearing doubts and see a disbelief. We understand it though, and we respect our community members’ opinion.

The AdEx Roadmap [UPDATED] As the AdEx project evolves, so does our concept and timeline for its development. Below is the revised and updated roadmap for AdEx. Stage 1: Research [Completed] June 2016 — June 2017 During this stage we researched the feasibility of the vision to create a decentralized and transparent ad network. We worked closely with the WINGS Foundation and other advisors to arrive at the current concept and assemble a suitable team. Stage 2: Token Crowdsale [Completed] June 2017 — July 2017 This stage marks the deployment of the first AdEx smart contract and the announcement of ADX token. The ADX token will launch with the help of WINGS. There will be a crowdsale in which 80% of the ADX token will be offered and the rest will be distributed to the team, advisors, bounty program and WINGS DA. The crowdsale is necessary to fund the development of the prototype and the business development required to drive initial adoption. Stage 3: Prototype/AdEx Dapp Beta [Completed] July 2017 — February 2018 The first AdEx prototype will be delivered as early as February 2018, and it will include a basic ad bidding system with a front-end for advertisers and a front-end for publishers, as well as an SDK for publishers. This prototype will focus on native advertising and display advertising. It will be completely open-source and independently audited. Stage 4: Adoption and Improvement February 2018 — July 2019 This stage includes heavy business development. The software development is driven by the market needs and feedback as we increase the adoption rate of the AdEx system. We will continue to bring new functionalities and enhance the user experience within the AdEx dapp. Additionally, during this stage we are bringing other forms of advertising to the dapp — for example video advertising. Stage 5: Rolling Out the AdEx Protocol July 2018 — September 2018 At this stage, we are releasing the AdEx protocol. It is a generalized advertising infrastructure that includes smart contracts and our node (i.e. a scaling solution). This protocol aims at fully bridging the advertising and blockchain industries in order to allow for more and better blockchain-based advertising solutions. During this stage, we will experiment with various scaling solutions like Plasma. We will also test options for reward systems for attention monetization. Stage 6: Dapp Improvements July 2018 — September 2018 During Q3 2018, we are introducing new functionalities to the AdEx dapp. This stage brings massive improvements to the user targeting and reporting. We also plan to enhance the user experience — most importantly, we will work towards making the integration of the publisher SDK as easy as possible. |

Converting yourself into your main asset  Unceasing evolution is part of human nature, as we live in an environment that is continuously changing and we need to adapt to it, at all levels. Only a few decades ago, a person used to work for one or two companies all along his/her life. Nowadays situations change fast: companies’ downsizing, mergers and acquisitions, automation, restructurings or strategy redefinitions, are just a few of the reasons that cause professionals to face a career shift, in a shorter time than they were used to. Since our job is an important part of our life in all aspects, we have nearly forgotten how to define ourselves as a person. We begin our life being the son/daughter to someone, then we start higher education, and suddenly we start identifying with our studies, introducing ourselves like: “I am a student in economics… I am in a PhD program… I have a degree in Engineering…” We enter the professional world and rapidly we start identifying ourselves with our position “I am a web designer….I am a marketing manager ….” We seem to have lost the habit to define ourselves as unique individuals, without mentioning a standard title. Unpredictable circumstances frequently affect the psychological condition of individuals. Sometimes challenging situations force us to improve ourselves and grow in a new direction. If we are planning to redefine our career path, we will need to redefine our competences and our goals, with a new and fresh perspective. Whenever defining a new path, it is key to set up our personal GPS with a starting point and a target point. What is the hardest part in this process? Identifying where we, as a person, stand; spot our main ambitions; recognize our talents in order to boost them. We should shift our focus from an identity-less approach (“I work for a company, I am part of an organization, etc.”) to a proactive, action oriented and more human-centered one (“I am talented in…”, “I must learn how to….”, “I must improve in…”). |

The partnership brings trusted, secure identity services to the token sales participants identification and enables FIC Network to streamline the identification and KYC process, enhancing the token sales privacy and security. “Choosing Civic as our KYC provider was an easy choice as currently their ID verification technology, friendly user interfaces combined with security measures outperform the competition.

Metaverse would like to introduce Manlin Dai, our first female ambassador this week. Manlin is a Metaverse ambassador in the Bay Area, San Francisco, United States, where she currently lives as well. 1. Can you first tell us a bit about you? Maybe a fun fact we wouldn’t expect? I am Manlin Dai. I graduated from Nanjing University with a bachelor’s degree in electronics and I attained my master’s degree in materials from the University of California, Berkeley. Currently, I’m working in an IoT company and deal with hardware. I am also teaching myself software. I have acquired skills such as Java, JavaScript, MySQL, MongoDB and so on. 2. What is it that you do at Metaverse? How did you hear about the project and what made you apply for your role? I am Metaverse’s ambassador for the Bay Area. I met Eric at the blockchain connect conference held in San Francisco in late January and heard about the project. I was impressed by Metaverse’s technical prowess in blockchain development and its focus on strong execution. Its products are also of great practical importance. I hope to become a member of the team and contribute my share to improve Metaverse’s influence in the Bay Area. That’s why I applied to be an ambassador. 3. When did you first hear and start learning about blockchain? What is the most interesting thing about it to you? Through digital currency, I started to learn about the blockchain last summer. My great curiosity about this new concept prompted me to learn more about the underlying technology. By reading a lot of white papers and watching videos of speeches, I gradually felt the potential of blockchain technology to reshape the world. 4. What do you hope to achieve being Metaverse ambassador? What are you particularly excited to work on? What I would like to accomplish most is to bring together people interested in Metaverse in the Bay Area and actively contribute to the promotion and development of Metaverse. The most exciting thing is that I can work in the blockchain industry, work in one of the most promising blockchain projects, and do what I can to help with its development. We look forward to Manlin’s start of work at Metaverse, to to help it deliver the New Reality to the Bay Area! |

Vestarin outpaces the world trendsSo-called ‘March to acknowledge the cryptocurrencies’ already spread around the world! Currently it is a global trend - governments all around the world determine their position in regard of digital coins, gradually legalizing them everywhere. Striking example relate to the news spread all over the world that the first national cryptocurrency Venezuelan Petro had collected an impressive USD 5 billion on the presale! This result is a huge step in appreciation of true potential of cryptocurrencies as a financial tool. Other countries will definitely act in this way to experience it. Another country of Latin America, Mexico, went another way. The Mexican parliament has adopted a law on digital coins regulating having defined their legal status as a commodity. Despite the fact that cryptocurrencies have already been legalized in another form, different from Venezuela, Japan and Germany, it is still a big plus and major asset for crypto industry. Positive decisions on cryptocurrencies legal status have already been made by a number of countries, and this tendency gains momentum. Gradual recognition of cryptocurrencies ensures its increasing usage as a means of payment. Vestarin outpaces the trends - we have already created a multifunctional platform to meet all requirements of crypto community around the world and to simplify cryptocurrencies usage in everyday life. https://www.facebook.com/vestarin.io/photos/a.173373966577245.1073741828.173221989925776/215083815739593/?type=3&theater

Shaping the Request Network DNA — A story on how our shared values connect us.As I’ve just arrived in Singapore again to work closely together with the Foundation team, I think it’s a good idea to take one step back and go in-depth on what has caused me to join the Foundation team as a community member and why I felt very connected with the team. Let’s dive a little bit into my history to understand where I’m coming from. As a marketing guy I have worked in several positions at commercial companies like The Walt Disney Company, where I was mainly responsible for creating creative marketing campaigns and content, both online and offline. While I’ve always loved doing my job, it caught my attention that contributing to the blockchain ecosystem by helping out several communities was the thing I’ve always spoke most enthusiastically about when coming home from work. I felt truly connected with everyone that was growing the same community and ecosystem as me, which rapidly resulted in spending more and more time in the blockchain space (and on my phone… sorry!). Fast forward to the end of 2017, I made the decision that I wanted to be professionally involved with this movement. I wanted to find a way to contribute as much of my time to further build this unique decentralized ecosystem consisting of thousands of people that make the Request Network as awesome as it is today. But what was it that caused this burning desire? I’ve tried to write down what I’ve always experienced as the core cultural values that connect us as a community, a team and a revolutionary movement within the blockchain ecosystem. You probably recognize yourself with some of these points and I hope to inspire you by sharing my thoughts. We’re in this revolution together, and experiencing that the community and team have so much in common is what makes me very happy. https://blog.request.network/shaping-the-request-network-dna-a-story-on-how-our-shared-values-connect-us-d0cf12ceeedc
