Let’s meet Orvium’s founders

Most Blockchain startups fail only months after launch. Why? Because the teams don’t have enough experience.
Fortunately for Orvium though, our rockstar 🎸 founders have plenty of experience, having worked for institutions such as CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), Fermilab (U.S. Dept. of Energy), and NASA.

Why Ethereum?

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the software that runs on the Ethereum network and allows for the creation
and development of different applications all on one platform. It has an unparalleled track record in hosting
decentralised applications which enable the execution of smart contracts, which parties can fulfill certain conditions
and validate those conditions automatically using code. Due to smart contracts’ self-executing nature, single-party
manipulation is averted because control over the execution of the smart contract does not fall into the hands of a
single party. Autonomy, trust, speed, and safety are Ethereum’s key strengths and these will be pivotal to the CTi
ecosystem.
While there are other DLT platforms in the space that promise a superior transaction speed per second, these
promises have not yet been realised.
Ethereum’s proven, viable and ready-to-use blockchain is the perfect platform on which to host the CTi eco-system.

What do you guys think about using ETH for this project? Any thoughts?

Unique Selling Points
The Clintex CTi platform aims to drive cost efficiency by providing affordable clinical data analytics services.
Pharmaceutical companies gain deep insight into the operational and clinical aspects of their trials without the
necessity of major investment into backend technical infrastructure and data science expertise, whilst benefitting
from the security of blockchain architecture.

The CTi platform distinguishes itself from other tools used in clinical trials by:
Bringing machine learning to clinical trial management;
 Allowing for workflow management that “closes the loop”;
 Enabling full audit-trail functionality to identify, action and resolve issues detected by the tool;
 Eliminating the need for hardware costs to be borne by the client;
 Introducing an attractive pay-per-use model for clients;
 Applying powerful and insightful data analytics functionality across administrative, operational and clinical functions in clinical trials;
 Exploiting the immutability and interoperability of data filtered through the blockchain to create an ecosystem that fosters collaboration across the entire pharmaceutical industry;
 Being the first ever collaboration platform for clinical trials.

So this was stated in the recent update from Ambrosus

The first stage of cooperation between Ambrosus and certain client companies involves making contact and sharing information about how the Ambrosus solution could fit together with the company’s needs. Contact with the Ambrosus team originates in a variety of ways: either Ambrosus team members use their networks to reach out to the corporate players to pitch the solution; or a company who is already looking for a solution discovers Ambrosus online and sends an initial correspondence via email based on what they have seen from the various online communities and the website; and finally, the team attends, exhibits or presents at a variety of industrial events and workshops where they meet potential clients and partners.

The question is do you know anyone that is in business that would benefit from the team's innovations?

The minting and distribution will take some time as the team have 2 tokens to mint and distribute. The next batches will be distributed soon

Hi guys there is an update here https://medium.com/codexprotocol/codexcoin-sale-update-airdrop-3af53c6a5e9b

The Codex sale is no longer being continued

At Codex, we believe wholeheartedly that for our technology to reach its full potential, we must see it distributed as widely as possible. Decentralization is the heart of the crypto movement and we have always endeavored to foster a sense of democracy in our project and build a strong community. That’s why, even though we have raised USD$12 million to date, an amount we believe is sufficient to build the protocol successfully, we opened up the sale to community participation (to the extent allowable by law) — because community engagement and user adoption, especially in the form of token distribution, is our first priority. Thank you to the more than 3,000+ community supporters who believe in our vision and completed the exhaustive KYC process to be able to participate.

Over the first three days of our community sale, the contributions we received were highly concentrated and we have not seen a broad enough pool of purchasers participate in the sale to meet our goals for distribution. Given this, and on the advice of our advisers, we have decided to cancel our token sale and instead proceed with the most democratic option possible — a token airdrop to the community.

The first airdrop will be to the 3,500+ community members who successfully
passed our KYC process and provided us with a token wallet address. Those members will each receive an airdrop of 500 CodexCoin tokens (CODX). Purchasers who bought as part of the public sale will each receive a refund of the ETH they contributed along with an additional airdrop of 2,000 CodexCoin. We expect to do further airdrops in the future, so this is just the beginning. Please note that details are not yet finalized so this information is subject to change. We will announce further details as soon as possible.

Please ask in the rewards group chat on telegram: https://t.me/joinchat/H58cR03LDuB9LFlobwVDIg

So there will be an AMA on the 31st.

It will be a video AMA and you can submit your questions here on Telegram and we will collect them.
Just use #AMA (and add your question).

The deadline for sending questions is 30th, 2pm CEST time.

The smart contract was audited by Hosho, confirmed by Andreas in the Codex team  


There is a story behind the name that Jess and Mark came up with:

A Codex is itself a collectible object. Because codices were handwritten, there were few copies of any single codex, and sometimes only a single copy. This makes them rare and often significant.
A Codex was used to record important information - just as The Codex Protocol will record important information for collectors.
“Code” is a nod to cryptography which underpins blockchain technology as well as to writing code for software applications.

The teams Sebastian Tory-Pratt , Design Lead is the one pulling the strings on the website front.

Hi there, there is information floating around about the team, there is a podcast with CEO Mark Lurie here where he shares information on his past and how he got into blockchain. It is good to look through the team's blogs, there is great stuff there
