Modern cloud storage technologies do not meet security requirements




Even cybersecurity professionals are becoming victims of hackers. In 2017, the international consulting company Deloitte, specializing in

information security, became a victim of a hacker attack. Criminals, having broken into the server of the company, had an access to

correspondence of employees, passwords, IP-addresses, personal data of clients.

However, the problem of confidential data storage has a solution. Casper API team launches an infrastructure project for decentralized file

storage that complements the blockchain of the smart-contract platform. That is, a single server, which can be hacked is simply not available,

and” smart “ contracts and blockchain technologies guarantee fast and transparent transactions.

Today is a historic day for the bitcoin industry. Eight years ago the programmer Laszlo Heinitz made perhaps the craziest purchase in the entire existence of bitcoin-bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. However, in 2010-this purchase did not seem to be something out of the ordinary, except that it was paid in digital currency.

Traditionally, on the 22 of May many crypto-enthusiasts buy pizza "Papa Jones" (it was in this restaurant Heinitz bought his pizza) and remember this event, which marked the beginning of the actual use of bitcoin as a means of payment, and also talk about the future prospects of the crypto industry.

Today, the amount of 10 000 BTC is a very solid amount (a little more than $80 million at the current market rate), usually with such figures on the Bank account people are included in the Forbes lists.

What do you think Laszlo Heinitz would buy today if there was find such a sum in his wallet?

Homer Simpson mines bitcoins

It took quite a bit of time and the words "bitcoin" and "blockchain" have become a commonplace, today we hear them every day



It took quite a bit of time and the words “bitcoin” and “blockchain” have become a commonplace, today we hear them every day. And it would seem, where else could you hear about bitcoin and blockchain? The latest version of the popular mobile game The Simpsons: Tapped Out has a new mention of bitcoin and blockchain technology.

In general, the game has not changed anything except new terms. In a new quest called Crypto Cool, Homer traditionally dodges his job of looking after the nuclear station, playing instead on a tablet in a variety of games.

But, another hero of the game and the cartoon — Martin during a conversation with Homer repeatedly says the word “blockchain” without explaining what it is.

However, he mentions that he has mined on his computer a few bitcoins, then the price skyrocketed. From the dialogues it becomes clear that until last week Martin had never heard of blockchain, but now considers himself a real expert in this field.

And the most interesting thing is that after the quest the user is also offered to stimulate three teenagers and start mining bitcoins on their computers.

I believed in you, well if that so why don't you send the link of their own blog which is explaining about their project as well as the other

community in this forum find out that we are telling the truth of the good progression of this project. So that more investors will get interest to

support and buy their tokens too.

I will also like to add also 'about how Casper became good and great dude, The main service of Casper provide is decentralized data storage, including upload, download, editing, deleting, access permission management, file random read function, unencrypted data modification without replacing it as well as the possibility to mount your virtual storage as an external drive. The decentralized data storage system reduces
possible delays and increases accessibility which means that all the data is accessible 24/7.

I was impressed by this project actually, it is obviously there are lot of people who supported this campaign actually. The end is not yet coming but their target was closely to happen and achieve now. For sure lot of their supporters will be happy for the result of this project as well. So lets continue to promote and share their project to others.

I agreed with you mate, in fact in the first quarter of 2018 Casper Api according to their updates they've raised 3.3 billion$ if I am not mistaken, that is actually a huge amount. Therefore, the project of casper Api was running smooth and great. And it has already a big impact also.

New solutions to familiar problems have appeared with the development of blockchain technologies


Casper API team took up the creation of a decentralized infrastructure for storing information. After starting the system, users will be able to access the following services:

Distributed file storage-means any operations with files (upload, download, edit, etc.) 24/7.

Creation and storage of backups on favorable terms (including in partner data centers).

Thanks to its architecture Casper API will provide quick downloading of files, will increase the loading speed of the sites and make them more resilient when traffic is high.

In addition, since Casper API is independent from one blockchain, its participants will be able to collect information from different platforms. That is, Casper API can be used for DApp on different platforms.

The world of crypto-currencies and blockchain technologies is regularly in a fever

The reasons are different: disturbing news from the Asia-Pacific region, loud statements of politicians, experts and pseudo experts. Not so long ago, CEO of FireEye, а leading cybersecurity company, Kevin Mandia, said that cryptocurrency is a way to monetize hacker attacks, theft of IP and communications. Note that the first hackers appeared long before the blockchain technology, and people hunted for valuable information long before the hackers themselves.

The creators of Casper API infrastructure, designed for decentralized data storage, are confident that their project is the future, and there are all reasons for that:

As for the degree of protection of Casper API it is out of competition-it does not have a single server from which it is possible to extract information.
In terms of volume — the infrastructure will unite thousands of suppliers around the world providing their capacity to store any information, so Casper API will successfully compete with the storage of transnational giants (Google, Amazon, etc.).

In terms of cost-Casper API sets rates three times lower than competitors.
Casper API has already attracted the attention of decentralized application developers (DApps) as an ecosystem capable of providing services for the storage of a large amount of information at low rates

Well-known information stores do not meet modern security requirements

Casper API team, having assessed the scale of the problem, started to create an ecosystem for distributed data storage, which will complement the blockchain with smart contracts.

The platform reliability will be ensured by p2p architecture — its participants will communicate without servers and this will protect the system from DDoS attacks. Platform users are not limited geographically, this allows them to choose the nearest provider by downloading and uploading files at high speed. By the way, copies of the files are stored by several participants, making them available even if one of them leaves the network.

Confidentiality of transaction is achieved by transferring encrypted smart-contracts. Smart- contracts are encrypted by method of the zk-SNARK, which is also used in ZCash. This approach allows to use Casper API in order to work with DApp at the corporate level.

In fact, Casper API is not only a cloud storage service, but also an entire infrastructure for decentralized applications and for their interaction creators provide a set of SDK developer.

Decentralized bases are gradually becoming part of everyday life

For example, in India, the police of Andhra Pradesh has ordered the owners of the hotels to install the blockchain as a system of registration of

visitors.



in India, the police of Andhra Pradesh has ordered the owners of the hotels to install the blockchain as a system of registration of visitors. The ecosystem, developed by the local Zebi team, is designed to collect and store hotel customer data. In the future, this experience will be disseminated throughout the country.

For reference. In 2017 India met 10 million tourists (hotel guests), and if to add at least 1% of the resident population (1 339 180 127) then for such quantity of data you will need a very large data warehouse. It is unknown how Indian developers solve the problem, but for the creators of Casper API, this is a visible confirmation of their forecasts — the information that people operate every year is constantly growing.

How Cloud storage service has become a usual thing, Without hesitation? we store music, movies and documents on the clouds.

Meanwhile, such reckless trust is sometimes punishable. So, in 2011, any user could view the data of the Dropbox service members (which was

15 million people), a similar incident occurred with UNESCO — the personal data of 100 thousand people, including salary information, were freely

available.

No doubt that this project was extremely good in terms of updating their campaign to their community. Where the community became more interested to support casper api including myself. And I knew that they have good plan in the future for us to be more progressive in terms of data storage.

yes that's right! I do agreed on your statement dude, I remembered for what is written in their whitepaper that Casper Api is " The main service

we provide is decentralized data storage, including upload, download, editing, deleting, access permission management, file random read

function, unencrypted data modification without replacing it as well as the possibility to mount your virtual storage as an external drive. The

decentralized data storage system reduces possible delays and increases accessibility which means that all the data is accessible 24/7.

How DApp market faces the challenge of storing information

Popularization of blockchain platforms has aroused interest in many related areas?

Popularization of blockchain platforms has aroused interest in many related areas. One of them is the decentralized application (DApp). Today 1092 Dapps are registered only on Ethereum and this trend continues to grow.

However, the DApp market faces the challenge of storing information. The usual solutions are not suitable for decentralized applications and proposals based on blockchain technologies are too expensive and inconvenient. In other words, DApp needs its own infrastructure.

This updates was according to twitter and medium.com

I wondered in what way trustlogics can really be helpful to unemployed people? Because, in every country this is one the government which is up to now

they are still resolving this problems. I guess trustlogics would be key of this one to fulfill the answer of each government looking for.

What is DAICO?

The world of cryptocurrencies and ICO has replenished with the new term “DAICO”, let’s find out what it is.

DAICO is a decentralized sutonomous public offering of tokens. Similarly to ICO, during DAICO tokens are sold by the project team for cryptocurrency. In the future, they can be used within the project itself, exchanged or sold on exchanges.

How does DAICO differ from ICO?

DAICO is a new fundraising model that combines the classic ICO and the benefits of DAO (decentralized autonomous organizations). Thanks to this model, the process of collecting and spending funds will be able to become as safe and transparent as possible.

How does DAICO work?

DAICO works based on the smart contract governing all actions for attraction of investments and work with them. Token holders receive enhanced control functions and can, for example, temporarily block the free sale of tokens after the completion of their public sale or determine the monthly amount of payments to the developers of the project. At the same time, in the case of DAICO, only the development team works on the project, not everyone (as in the case of the classic ICO).

Keep in mind that DAICO is not project management, but only control over the amount allocated to the project team beyond the limits set by the budget. DAICO contract excludes the possibility that the team may write off all funds at one time and disappear, protecting the interests of token holders. In addition, if holders feel that developers are not performing their tasks, they may initiate a refund.
