Hello,

The conference will be July 1-3rd.  It would be excellent to meet anyone in the area, and definitely would love to have a chance to talk about Bitland or anything else in person!  I am also speaking in Paris some time between June 30 and July 2nd at the Viva Technology conference, but that date has not yet been set.

Here is a link to the conference in Aix-en-Provence:

Not sure if anyone has seen the news today about Deloitte investing in blockchain startups, but the Netexplo awards were put on in partnership with Deloitte.  They are one  of the major reasons Bitland has been getting so much press in Europe, and part of the reason we will be presenting at two more conferences in France in June, one in Paris and the other in Aix-au-Provence.  More details to come!


Cheers!

If a scientist or a commercial entity wants to get computational power from Gridcoin they will have to setup their own Boinc project, which then has to be vetted by the Gridcoin community and voted on for acceptance into the whitelist: http://gridcoin.us/Guides/whitelist.htm

I will answer your questions in the order presented:

1.  Cadastrals will be the de facto currency of the Bitland infrastructure.  This will allow investors to enter contracts with organizations looking to get loans or investors.  The contracts and ROI will be decided by the contractor/investor, as Bitland will have no say in those terms, but the platform will be where the transactions take place and are recorded onto the blockchain.  The buyers would be people looking to invest in developing countries but also want to guarantee government oversight, as we are working with the Land Administration Project in Ghana to make sure all the transactions are legit and legal.  No new coins will be minted, and the token is hard capped.

2.  Yes, this is 100% accurate.  If you look in the White Paper, you will see that this project has a 4 year plan that goes beyond the Pilot.  We are trying to develop an infrastructure that can be applied across not only Ghana, but to other developing countries and developed countries as well.  Since Ghanaian land titles have an upper limit of 99 years, our distribution of 3 million Cadastrals to the Oracles that witness the smart contracts will happen over the next 99 years.  Any Cadastrals that go into the system will not be destroyed, but will be added to the Oracle pool to be distributed on the same 99 year cycles.  There are also tokens set to be sold to governments as we seek out government contracts to get the large scale development of infrastructure completed.

Here is the breakdown from the White Paper:

-10 Million tokens for ICO at phase 1
-10 Million tokens for ICO at phase 2
-1 Million To Establish Basket of Currency Reserve during ICO Period
-2 Million to Pay Bitland Employees/Independent Contractors
-3 Million Designated to Smart Contract Oracles distributed over next 99 years
- 4 Million For Reserve for Governments to buy tokens, then pay out contracts through Bitland

As far as why not partnering with Factom, there are various reasons.  I am a former Community Leader at Factom, and at one point Bitland was considering using Factom.  However, it was made immediately clear that Factom is more like SQL or Excel than a specialized land registry application.  Factom is not set up to handle anything except the actual "recording" of data.  In that regard, Factom is set-up for ANY type of record, and while simply recording titles would be great, we need much more indexing functionality than Factom has, and on top of that Factom cannot guarantee that the local electricity will be working.  The biggest problem with applying blockchain technology to developing areas isn't the acceptance, it's the physical infrastructure.  In most of Ghana, rolling blackouts happen multiple times a week.  Using technology that needs Internet access will not be a logical solution in a place like this. 

THIS is why one of the biggest aspects of the Bitland Project is to set up solar-powered wi-fi centers throughout Ghana so that the network will never go down due to electricity. 

I hope this gives some insight, and if you have any more questions, feel free to keep firing away!

Also, we are in the process of making partnerships, and will make announcements as soon as contracts are finalized.

I want to sincerely thank you for posting our ICO on your site without us asking   We appreciate it very much!

Cheers!

I don't think you understand.  All Entry Credits are derived from burned Factoids.  It doesn't matter if the Factom store burns them when getting a CC order, or by burning Factoids yourself.

Think about this from a business perspective.  How would they add data into the system?


1) Buy Bitcoins
 -this is a non-trivial step today.  Do they issue a PO order?  Can they use the department credit card?  Both sound like a no.  result: No Factom usage.  End of project prototyping.

2) Send BTC to exchange and buy Factoids
 -Doable as a business, but it would be operating under the radar since corporate accounts are not really a thing.  Shapeshift might work too, if it is up at the time.

3) Use wallet to burn Factoids and buy Entry Credits.
 -doable, but awkward, as the community knows.

4) Now the business software can use the Entry Credits
 -Actual business logic can progress and applications can publish on the platform.

5) Convince legal department + accounting department that the IT department dealing in Bitcoin is not risky for the business.
 -Most of the world is still scared of Bitcoin.



or:

1) Use company credit card to buy Entry Credits.
 -Factom, inc. processes credit card, pays CC fees, bears chargeback risk.  Factom inc. buys Factoids off the market.  Factom inc. converts Factoids to ECs and assigns them to the business's address.  Factom, inc has a strong incentive to keep the system working.

2) Business software can use the Entry Credits to publish.




Which part about this are you upset about again?  This is changing it from impossible to possible for businesses to use Factom.

If you think that we are making too much profit, you are free to setup your own Credit Card merchant account and try to undercut.  Complaining about a business taking too much margin without considering overhead means that more research needs to be done.

Yes, retail prices are typically higher than wholesale prices or the prices to make the product.

You should dump your FCT and move to ETH so you can be happy. I'm sure someone will buy your coins, maybe me  

you said in an earlier post that you bought in at 250K, so sell now and make a good profit and quit ur bitching.

1 IOTA = 2.8 NXT x 0.00001938 BTC/NXT =  0.000054264 BTC

1 BTC = 1 / 0.000054264 = 18428 IOTAs  

if person can confirm?!!  

I think this would not always easy. I have pledged 2'000'000 iota but I have bought this iotas by escrow in the Speculation thread. I can send the iotas once I have it.

People could incorrectly interpret the situation if they knew what amounts we put into the deal. It's smarter to take part in the very end if the others think that you have insider info.
