XPRIZE Foundation’s Peter Diamandis Joins Guardium Token Sale As Advisor And Participant To Support Decentralized Emergency Response
Innovation Pioneer Known For His Work to Solve Global Problems Backs Guardian Circle To Reinvent 911 Emergency Response

Santa Monica, CA, May 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Guardian Circle, the first global, decentralized emergency response system, today announced Peter Diamandis, XPRIZE Foundation Founder and CEO, has joined the startup’s Guardium ($GDM) token sale as an advisor and participant. The Guardian Circle platform gives users in an emergency situation immediate access to a designated circle of trusted friends, family and neighbors located closest to the crisis, significantly reducing the emergency response time and improving a victim’s chances for survival. Guardians who respond to requests for help are then rewarded in Guardium tokens, which can be redeemed for more services or sold for fiat currency.

Diamandis is an innovation visionary who has founded or co-founded 19 entrepreneurial ventures, including Singularity University, Human Longevity Inc., International Space University, and Planetary Resources. He launched the XPRIZE Foundation in 1994, which leads the world in designing and operating large-scale incentive competitions for “radical breakthroughs” that benefit humanity. XPRIZE is currently teaming with IBM to offer the IBM Watson AI XPRIZE, which in 2020 will give $5 million to the artificial intelligence system that gives the best TED Talk. Diamandis is also an engineer and Harvard University-trained physician, and in 2014, he was named one of Fortune’s World’s 50 Greatest Leaders. He advocates the importance of living with an abundance mindset.

“We are humbled and honored to earn the endorsement of one of the most influential names in innovation today,” said Mark Jeffrey, Co-founder and CEO of Guardian Circle.

“After learning of the immediate impact Guardium can offer its users and the alliances Mark has built around him, it was an obvious fit for me and the work I do,” said Peter Diamandis. “I look forward to working closely with Mark and his team, to save more lives and change the world for the better.”

Available for free on iOS, Apple Watch, Android and Alexa, Guardian Circle is currently used by tens-of-thousands and has established partnerships with Anu and Naveen Jain Women’s Safety XPRIZE, Upchannel, Bee Token, and 0Chain. The app was recently named as a finalist in Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards.

The Guardium Token whitelist, an advanced registration for its token sale, is currently open to applicants where purchasers can receive a 20 percent bonus if they buy before the first five million tokens are sold. The token sale ends on June 1. Those interested in learning more can visit https://guardium.co/ or join the Telegram group here.

ABOUT GUARDIAN CIRCLE
Guardian Circle is a new worldwide public utility offering global, decentralized 911 emergency response. ​It is the first blockchain-based emergency response system to crowdsource safety, enabling users to access a decentralized pool of pre-selected citizen-rescuers who are alerted in the event of an emergency, dispatching aid closest to the situation. These guardians are then rewarded in cryptocurrency with Guardium, a token that can be redeemed for more services or sold for fiat currency within the platform. Guardian Circle is headquartered in Marina del Rey, CA and backed by Magnus Capital, Distributed Network Advisors (DNA), and prominent investors including Jason Calacanis (LAUNCH, Inside.com), Peter Diamandis (XPRIZE Foundation), Falkora, Michael Terpin (CoinAgenda, BitAngels), Eric Pulier (Digital Evolution, US Interactive, Akana, Desktone, ServiceMesh), and John Valenti.

Guardium tokens and virtual currencies, in general, are not legal tender, in any country, and are not backed by any government as legal tender, nor should they be treated as such.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global emergency response software company Guardian Circle announces that it took home top honors at d10e in Gibraltar. d10e, the leading conference on decentralization, ICOs and blockchain technology, awarded Guardium one third of the $100,000 prize provided by Victory Square Technologies to the top three winners.

Guardian came in fourth place among the 18 presenting ICOs, but since the second place winner, FansUnite is already majority owned by the main provider of the prize, the organizers of d10e and Shafin Diamond Tejani, CEO of Victory Square Technologies, decided to award Guardian the cash prize and the special mention. This is not just a cash prize but a contribution to Guardian’s ICO, which effectively makes Victory Square Technologies an investor in Guardian.

Guardium is the world’s first blockchain-based emergency response platform built to crowd-source emergency responders and reward them in cryptocurrency. Guardium’s platform brings a decentralized 911 emergency response to over four billion people without access and features an open API capable of plugging into any device to turn it into an Internet of Things (IoT) alert system and a token rewards system. Guardian Circle will have its Guardium public token sale in November 2017.

Current emergency response services, if available, take too long to answer emergency calls. Emergency centers might not be conveniently located to the emergency situation, escalating the risk of danger for the caller seeking help. Recognizing this gap in service, Guardian Circle platform allows subscribers to have access to a decentralized pool of pre-selected citizen-rescuers who are automatically alerted in the event of an emergency, dispatching aid closest to the emergency.

“The emergency response system being used by governments today is broken,” said Mark Jeffrey, CEO of Guardian Circle. “Our platform empowers communities, because it makes certain a person in an emergency situation has access to rescuers in their community right away. We are honored to receive this special mention and the cash prize.”

Guardium tokens will be used to reward response-related transactions. For example, an off-duty EMT registered as a professional paid Guardian that centrally located to an emergency and answers an alert will be rewarded with Guardium tokens. Token holders may redeem the tokens for more services within the platform or sell the tokens within the platform for fiat currency. All transactions will be recorded using blockchain-based smart contracts.

Using its proprietary intelligent grid to manage alerts, Guardian Circle’s distributed response ensures emergency aid is always geographically located to the situation, bringing safety to remote areas.

“We are happy to have Guardian among d10e’s ICO pitch competiton winners. As millions of people will be benefiting from Guardian’s reward-based emergency response system, we will be proud to have been among its early contributors,” said Mike Costache, co-owner of d10e and founder of the Blockchain Investors Consortium (BIC).

Q:  How will this work with ambulances and 'regular emergency response'?

A:  Guardium / Guardian Circle supplement it with faster, closer, and a larger number of MULTIPLE responders.  Time matters in an emergency.  Every second matters. 

These additional eyes, hands and brains working on your emergency can help get you to the hospital faster than an ambulance -- OR -- they can help get the ambulance to you faster than you could on your own.  Also, you now have MULTIPLE PEOPLE (not just one) working on gettin you an ambulance in parallel. 

Even if all they do is all call 9-1-1 for you
- You now have multiple shots at getting through busy signals / calls that just ring and ring endlessly
- They know where you are!!!!! 9-1-1 has no idea.  If all they do is read your GPS data to the 9-1-1 operator, they've just shaved down a LOT of precious minutes you may need to stay alive.

And if there is no ambulance where you are (remote towns and villages) -- your ambulance may simply be "the one guy with a truck" -- and now you have a way to get to him. 

Q: Will you need tokens to use this?

A:  The base level product -- No.  That will always be free.  Alerting between friends, family and neighbors does not require tokens.

However, enhanced protection -- paid responders, EMT's, security, emergency transport, etc. -- will cost tokens, yes.  So will storage of emergency lock box and transcript management, etc.

Guardium Whitepaper Abstract:
Physical safety and security is essential for everyone, yet four billion people have no access to on-call emergency
services such as 911 in the United States. This paper calls for the formation of a decentralized emergency response
grid that would be more widely accessible, faster, proximal, scalable, user-friendly and technically advanced than
any existing network. Like the creation of ride-sharing services like Uber, Smartphone ubiquity is a precondition for
the establishment of such a global network. But the emergence of protocol-based decentralized organizations,
distributed ledgers, cryptographic currencies fundamentally shift the economics of providing such a global service.
Services like Filecoin, CIVIC, and Tezos have demonstrated that a new class of Global Public Utility provider that
is decentralized and protocol-based enables the creation of a unified decentralized network that evolves and updates
through its governance framework. Distributed ledger technology can provide an immutable record of responses to
emergencies for auditability, accountability and trust. Finally the availability of cryptographic tokens and smart
contracts enables a framework for establishing protective relationships, compensating responders and rewarding
positive behavior within the network. No government is capable of providing a global network, yet the economic
benefit of having a single, final, global provider is evident when considering the user experience of multiple
competing networks during an emergency situation.

Some have asked for a 'non whitepaper' explanation of Guardium and how it will be used in our 'global decentralized 9-1-1 (emergency response)' vision.  Here's the 'In English' simple explanation:

How Is Guardium Used? 

FIVE WAYS:

1) Creation of Emergency Response Contracts and Form of Settlement (so it’s an economic framework for the 4 billion unbanked people with no 9-1-1).
   - Local EMT or doctor
   - Ambulance / transport
   - Security Response

2) Remote Sponsorship of 9-1-1-like protection for people in the developing world (i.e. send Guardium for them to spend on emergency response)

3) Alert Room transcripts stored on Guardium blockchain
   - Transcript of chat
   - WHERE everyone was during the Alert
   - Timeline of all of the above
   - Immutable / tamper-proof evidence
   - ONLY the Alerter has custody / access control, not centralized officials

4) Emergency Info Lock Box - Inscribed on Guardium blockchain
   - Location of key under the rock
   - Secret health issues
   - Private keys to cryptocurrency
   - Opened only when Alerter declares Alert
   - Openable only by Guardians

5) Doubles as a Loyalty Program.  Earn Guardium when you:
   - Send invitations to Guardian Circle
   - Guard others
   - Respond to an Alert

It's not Pokemon Go However, you COULD say it's sort of 'Snapmaps for Emergencies' -- except with much better security (i.e. you won't summon a stranger who might mean you harm).

Here's a snippet from the whitepaper that addresses your questions:

Less than half of the world has 9-1-1, a government centralized emergency response system. Invented in 1968 for a world of landlines, it has not advanced significantly.

John Oliver, Last Week Tonight: “9-1-1 Sucks” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-XlyB_QQYs

Emergency services, particularly in remote areas suffer from these problems:
● Antiquated: 9-1-1 operators do not know your location 90% of the time if you call from a mobile device. (See 9-1-1’s Deadly Flaw in USA Today2).
● Congested: In March 2017, 9-1-1 was completely unavailable nationwide3 on AT&T mobile. In that same month, a child died4 because a caregiver was put on 9-1-1 hold for half an hour.
○ Here is an blog post5 with more details.
● Expensive: In Africa, the largest employer on the continent now is private security. The rich can pay
for safety ... but the poor can't pay for it and they're left unprotected. Guardium can put security within
reach of the poor for the first time.
● Corruption: In India, it is common for victims of sexual assault to be assaulted yet again by the very
police they call to for help. The solution is clearly not ‘more police’.
● Lawlessness: In his 2015 TED Talk6, Gary Haughan argues that the number one cause of poverty
worldwide is not a lack of food or water, but lawlessness, which is a direct consequence there being no adequate protection grid. He demonstrates this with the example of a 12-year-old girl named Griselda:
“... perhaps the most powerful thing that Griselda and her family can do to get Griselda and her family out of poverty is to make sure that she goes to school. The experts call this the Girl Effect. But when we met Griselda, she wasn't going to school. In fact, she was rarely ever leaving her home.
Days before we met her, while she was walking home from church with her family, in broad daylight, men ... just snatched her off the street, and violently raped her. See, Griselda had every opportunity to go to school, it just wasn't safe for her to get there ... Around the world .... victims of the everyday violence of domestic abuse and sexual violence ... account for more death and disability than malaria, than car accidents, than war combined. The truth is, the poor of our world are trapped in whole systems of violence.”
Problems of Centralization
1) Proximity of help: Emergency services are dispatched through a central switchboard, and local resources are routed to the scene of the emergency. Emergency resources may have a long distance to travel, especially for people in remote areas. In many emergencies including sudden medical crisis or violent crime, this is an unacceptable time delay.
2) Location of Emergency: Emergency responders need a detailed explanation of the location of the emergency, in many cases this location is not automatically available through the device GPS when calling a traditional 9-1-1 service
3) Scalability: Centralization reduces scalability. In disasters such as recent hurricanes Irma and Harvey, emergency response was swamped with calls and those calling would often be faced with a busy signal. During hurricane Irma, CNN announced that 9-1-1 calls would simply go unanswered in Florida for the duration of the storm. The inherent centralization of current emergency response limits scalability.
4) Distribution: Four billion people on earth have no access to 9-1-1 services.
5) Knowledge of responder: In many cases, first responders are entering into situations where their
knowledge may be extremely limited. This may limit their ability to provide appropriate care.
6) User Interface: Typically emergency response is handled through a 9-1-1 phone call. In cases where the
person cannot speak (for example if they are having a stroke), they will be unable to summon help. For those conditions where the person in crisis has foreknowledge of a possible problem (a person on a heart pacemaker, or someone with life threatening allergies, etc), creating a “panic button” that doesn’t require a detailed phone conversation can be a life saver.
Worse yet is the condition of the four billion people on earth who have no access at all to 9-1-1 emergency services.
The widespread availability of smartphones provides a precondition for solving this problem, and the emergence of ride-sharing services like Uber provide a model of user interaction where distributed providers and consumers can interact and create a multi-sided marketplace for transportation.
But the provision of worldwide emergency services is not only beyond the scope of any individual government, but also beyond the scope of a traditional corporation like an Uber. An inherent part of the problem is the creation of a new organizational system for delivering protocol-based decentralized marketplaces.

Wondering what the Hivemind here thinks os EOS at this point?  The price is below the initial ICO price of .80 cents ... so the market seems cool on it.  However, Laramir's scalability vision seems pretty legit to me -- and ETH seems lost in the woods on scalability.  What you all think?

Interesting.  I've been contemplating what a 'no ICO' debut would look like. It's not so odd: this was exactly how Bitcoin began. It might not be such a bad idea.
