0chain announces partnership with NEOhttps://medium.com/0chain/0chain-announces-partnership-with-neo-5aeb061718ca 0chain is pleased to announce its partnership with NEO Council to work together and help dApps scale their computing and storage needs using 0chain’s fast, free, and flexible decentralized cloud platform. 0chain is the fastest and most flexible, free decentralized cloud that allows dApps on NEO blockchain to move its off-chain storage and compute requirements to 0chain’s dCloud platform. Additionally, 0chain help dApps create their own chain specific to their needs and optimize their performance. 0chain is developing several groundbreaking protocols, including 2D-BPoS consensus, self-forking, storage, and inflation protocols to achieve massive scalability, a fast finality, and a free dCloud. NEO is a blockchain project that utilizes blockchain technology and digital identity to digitize assets, to automate the management of digital assets using smart contracts, and to realize a “smart economy” with a distributed network. Saswata Basu, Founder of 0chain says: “We are excited to work with NEO and their dApp ecosystem to help their needs with a fast, free, and flexible computing and storage platform. With 0chain, dApps can create their own blockchain, achieve decentralized computing, record micro-transactions with fast finality, and have a fast guaranteed storage capability. Best of all, it’s totally free. Unlike traditional cost model, dApps hold tokens for free compute and storage. So, cost becomes an asset.” This is useful for all dApps currently on the NEO platform. NEO, which is aiming to be the leader of the “smart economy,” will also benefit from the new relationship, and can attract more dApps on their platform by offering 0chain dCloud features to fast-track their development and go-to-market strategy. 0chain plans to release their testnet Q2 2018 and mainnet towards Q4 2018.

Industry feedback — a crucial element when innovating https://blog.auctus.org/industry-feedback-a-crucial-element-when-innovating-76dbb1f33242 Over the past months, we’ve conducted several design sprints. The purpose is to think outside the box, brainstorm and to find new innovative ways to solve problems. However, industry feedback is crucial and helps us put ideas into perspective. Next to having collaborated with robo advisory experts and other industry leading companies, Auctus has shared information with and received feedback from The Lab at Prudential Financial (part of Prudential’s Workplace Solutions Group). The Lab is an innovation lab of Prudential Financial, the Newark, New Jersey headquartered financial services leader with more than $1 trillion of assets under management as of December 31, 2017. The Lab focuses on designing unique next-generation solutions that have the potential to be implemented into Prudential’s product offerings, and that simultaneously transform the relationship the company has with its customers. Its mission is to help Prudential become the company its customers need in the 21st century. Roshina Nandra, Vice President of the Lab said: “Prudential first began exploring blockchain technology three years ago, and started building proofs of concept two years ago.” Raphael Vantroost, CEO at Auctus stated: “Over the past months, Auctus and The Lab at Prudential have engaged in valuable information sharing, that ultimately had an impact on our business model and the Auctus Platform.” Besides being at the forefront of innovation, our team will always seek to bridge gaps between established businesses and new concepts in order to have a balance between proven concepts and new ideas. |

New Hollywood coworking space is exclusively for cannabis companiesA Hollywood office building is being converted into the city’s first coworking space exclusively for startups and freelancers working in the cannabis industry. The Paragon Space, which is located at 1452 Tamarind Avenue is being funded by Paragon, which calls itself the “leading blockchain technology platform for the cannabis industry.” In fact, the building is being fully paid for using Paragon’s cryptocurrency, PRG Coin. The Paragon Space will be one of the more exclusive coworking spaces in the Hollywood area, as amenities like desks and offices will only be accessible to PRG Coin holders. Members of the greater cannabis community will have access to public spaces, meeting rooms, and a communal area that includes a cafe (although it looks like you’ll have to use their cryptocurrency to pay for food and drink). One of the benefits of such a space, according to Paragon, is that it may be difficult for cannabis companies to access office space from traditional developers or property owners. “We know how hard it is for those in the cannabis industry to rent office or desk space,” it says on Paragon’s website, “so we are providing you a helping hand.” There’s also an interesting crowdsourcing element to the coworking space’s location. Paragon put the call out to its coin holders to choose where the space should be, and created a voting system where community members used PRG Coin to vote. Paragon is working with designers at PITCH Concepts to build out the space, which should be open by July of 2018. Recreational sales of marijuana began in the state of California on January 1, 2018. https://la.curbed.com/2018/3/14/17120748/legal-weed-los-angeles-marijuana-office

Dev team is wasting no time and is moving swiftly towards completion with no foreseeable delays. Adbank is now taking the final steps toward our first acquisition — some additional financial and operational due diligence is required before the deal is signed and funds are transferred. The company we are looking to acquire is one in an interesting niche that makes it a very suitable candidate to pilot new tech like ADB.

Insights from EthCC 2018 in Paris with the REMME team Members of our team are just back from the Ethereum Community Conference in Paris, and they’ve got good things to report. We learned a lot, networked a lot and talked a lot about REMME, blockchain scaling, decentralization and other matters that are close to our heart. EthCC was a great success, and the excitement within the conference hall was palpable. Over 650 attendees and 130 speakers from all over the world converged to discuss four major topics: Scalability, Anonymity, Development Tools, and Governance. This latter topic was tackled by Bob Summerwill on Thursday in his address, in which the Ethereum community manager urged an end to “tribalism” in favor of a renewed spirit of cooperation. Ethereum developer Vlad Zamfir also weighed in, speaking of the “coordinance problem” that governance needs to resolve. https://medium.com/remme/insights-from-ethcc-2018-in-paris-with-the-remme-team-463853c811b6

It would be no exaggeration to say that the whole market was waiting for this moment. Dropbox hallmarksToday Dropbox evidently dominates the race of cloud services. Even though it has to compete with such giants as Amazon and Google. Equally noteworthy is the fact that the company was incorporated just over 10 years ago, in 2007, — and managed to become one of the best from the best in the industry. The key strength of Dropbox lies in its shift towards the corporate segment. This provides for stable growth of paid subscriptions. For the moment the company counts over 300 thousand corporate clients. Totally the service has over 500 (!) million users from all over the world. Dropbox has access to a very serious server infrastructure due to close partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This provides for scalability of the company in context of steady growing demand for storage place of a large bulk of data. Moreover, the service evolves also in terms of functionality expanding in mobile segment and extending the range of additional services, and this seems quite promising too. Financial performanceDropbox applies quite an unusual model of development and costs compared to other companies with such number of clients. It does not allocate great funds for marketing, but relies on self-service channels. Monetization is mainly due to corporate tariffs and additional services. As a result revenue of the company annually grows. Last year it was 1,1 bln $ compared to 845 mln $ in 2016 and 604 mln $ in 2015. Net loss of the company is decreasing at a steady rate — in 2017 it reached 112 mln $, which almost twice less than in 2016. Public offering and deadlinesDropbox will be listed at Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ‘DBX’. The company chose 12 investment banks including reputed Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan as underwriters of the project. The company expects to raise 500 mln $ during IPO, and its total capitalization may reach 10 bln $. Investments to Dropbox shall be counted as mid risky. We forecast the average annual return at the rate of 80%. Minimum investment amount is equal to 5000 $. The exact date of trading has not been announced yet, but it is more than likely to happen by the end of March. https://medium.com/@Uttoken.io/investing-in-dropbox-ipo-d27f8c55d3d2
