Meet the Cardstack team:

Chris Tse
Founder & Head of Product

Chris Tse is a technologist by trade, a designer in practice, and an entrepreneur at heart.

Chris has been a designer and architect of “Digital Ecosystems”, from decentralized peer-to-peer applications to federated social applications. He is a champion of applying Open Web technologies, such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, to create mobile experiences that allow interactions to move smoothly between devices, users, and brands. Chris is also an innovative thought-leader in scalable systems design, and has given talks on how to apply NoSQL techniques along with functional programming paradigms to build the next-generation cloud back-ends. In 2014, Chris founded the Cardstack project, a decentralized full stack application and integration framework that provides the Cohesive User Experience (CUE), which spans the blockchain and the cloud.

Chris is also the co-founder and CTO of Monegraph, where he leads the development of decentralized digital markets with a combination of cloud and blockchain-based tools. Chris is also the co-founder and tech lead of the dotBlockchain media project that is a new dynamic file format and supporting technology architecture, designed to modernize rights management of media files globally for all participants. His goal is to design and develop an open framework for decentralized interoperability for the music ecosystem.

Previously, Chris was the founding Senior Director of McGraw-Hill Education's R&D lab, and has worked on applying JavaScript tools to solve problems in the enterprise, built HTML5 interactive components using cards, and architected continuous analytics systems with NoSQL. He championed the creation of the open source projects like EmberJS, and was instrumental in driving the adoption of open source ethos in the development of enterprise products.

Chris led the development of social media and dynamic publishing applications at BusinessWeek Digital as the Senior Director of Innovation. Before joining the New York media industry through the acquisition of The Grow Network by McGraw-Hill, where Chris served as the Chief Technologist in charge of technology strategy and solution architecture, he co-founded three other technology startups: a database consulting shop, a messaging software company, and a network security research firm. Chris created one of the first peer-to-peer secure file transfer application called Civil Netizen, which was built on the Mozilla open source codebase.

Chris holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University and is still very much addicted to New York City.

Have you submitted KYC?

Some users have reported receiving a KYC rejection email, but having KYC verified through the KYC checker at dav.network. The team is working through this and has come to the conclusion that the KYC checker is correct, even if you have received the rejection email.

What is Vault 11?

On our Platform the safety of your tokens is paramount. That is why we created “Vault 11” - a high profile escrow solution designed to protect ONL tokens and encrypted using the latest cryptographic technology.

How does it work?

Say you want to have your one-to-one online guitar lesson through the OnLive Platform. You log in, book available time of your class, and make ONL payment. Your tokens do not directly go to your guitar teacher as they are deposited in Vault 11. They are now in escrow which means that they go to the seller only if the service is successfully completed. Otherwise you will get your ONL back. Therefore, Vault 11 ensures everyone gets what they are due at essentially the same time.

BANKEX is, indeed ahead of its time, BAS. Thanks for your kind words...

This was addressed today in the channel (https://t.me/cardstack)

"...thank you for your feedback. Indeed we are planning a larger marketing promotion close to and post TGE, with several interviews already lined up. We currently do have sufficient whitelist sign ups to be able to complete the TGE. Also in the works, we are translating our website and starting new telegram communities so we can cater to new communities in different languages - esp in China, Japan and Korea."

We did quite well in January by accurately forecasting a major correction and recovery ahead of time. From this, we created a modest reserve pool from which we could draw service fees without having to close positions unprofitably. We also hold positions in US equities (not just crypto), this also helped us to stay Sharpe in these turbulent market conditions. Oh, and we can also short crypto using CFDs.

Note: Service fee payments are, as described in the white paper, entirely discretionary, and not a fixed function of profit.

Of course, KYC isn't exactly the exciting part. But it is necessary to allow newcomers safe participation in events like these.

In addition to appealing to new and casual users, our trading platform will be equipped with a robust tool-set designed to meet the needs of professional investors. CoinMetro will offer customizable charting and analytics, support for a range of order types, lending options, and margin trading, here more akin to platforms like Bitfinex and Poloniex, but with a much cleaner UI, no reliance on Tether, more reliable uptime, progressive regulatory footprint, and transparent company policies.

Our Mission

Swarm Fund is the blockchain for private equity. It’s a fully decentralized capital market place that democratizes investing by using the power of the blockchain to open up high-return, alternative investment classes to smaller investors through asset-backed funds using cryptocurrency tokens. It makes traditionally exclusive investment opportunities, such as private equity and hedge funds, inclusive for the Swarm by pooling together smaller investments into larger, institutional-sized blocks.

As we now know, Facebook gave wildly disproportionate permission to third-party app developers to copy their users’ personal information. By exploiting this permission, Cambridge Analytica was able to use a single app to collect millions of personal records at almost no cost, and nobody was informed until it was too late.

Thanks for your enthusiastic support, Cryptochel!

This sounds like a topic more suitable for the trading channel: https://t.me/bancortraders

We are pleased to announce that our fourth service fee payment and prize draw has been successfully completed as of 13th April 2018. It has been an admittedly challenging quarter, with both the cryptocurrency market and US stocks in significant decline. Despite this, we are pleased to be in a position to provide our Sentiment Providers with $17,000 USD (equivalent), plus 10,000 SHP.
