GravesidePreserving Music History Since 1993
The first distributed, autonomous charity
dedicated to preserving historical monuments
on the blockchain. We propose a DAO charity called GRAVESIDE, the first distributed autonomous organization whose mission is the preservation of music history. The mission is accomplished through the care, restoration and preservation of musicians' grave sites and tomb stones throughout North America, and one day the world. While many famous musicians' burial sites are well cared for (Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley and Hank Williams for example have endowments), many other influential yet lesser known artists’ graves are destroyed by vandalism, carelessness or time and the elements. While Graveside is starting from our original mission to preserve the sites of musicians, we hope to expand in the future to include other sites (athletes, historical figures, politicians) and hope to eventually include a fund for burial assistance for anyone in need. Graveside started as a community service in 1993, inspired by the words of bluesman Blind Lemon Jefferson whose stone reads "Lord it's one kind favor I ask of you/please see that my grave is kept clean". Graveside was briefly established as a non-profit in 2011, but abandoned as a public charity due to cost and logistics. Graveside proposes a new model, one where fans, historical societies, colleges or virtually anyone can nominate a site for assistance, donate even small amounts, and know those funds are going directly to the care and upkeep of the site they choose. Utilizing distributed ledger technology and a tokenized donation and distribution model, funds will go directly from donors to the cemeteries, churches and mausoleums that participate in the program. This structure creates a more efficient non-profit organization, one without the overhead of administrators, lawyers and boards of directors--one not subject to fraud or mismanagement. Through a self-governance model and a maintenance fund, the organization will function far into the future. Watch for the official whitepaper to be unveiled Halloween 2018.To see a presentation on Graveside (in PDF format) visit here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VX21UxlhSjrI6W-OjjBlcXTLQ9LNRHoA/view?usp=sharing Really, no feedback? Do I need to add 50 emojis and 40pt type? |

Ethereum is platform with smartcontracts, waves is only tokens.
Waves released smart contract capability this week, September 10th. Still waves away from being as popular as Ethereum. |

I believe the best site for crypto news is Brave New Coin out of New Zealand. Best, deepest chart analysis, too. Cointelegraph, Coindesk are also very well done.

If there seems far more effort at marketing pre-sales, crowd sales, airdrops and bounties--it could be a scam. Agree with comments to start with the white paper and team, see if they're doing anything unique. There are several ICOs claiming to focus on identity management, for example. But how are they different? It doesn't take $20million to develop code--most of those efforts are raising money to raise more money--and they waste it on worldwide conferences, nice offices, perks for executives--then they pay some developers to actually make something. This is how 80% (according to the WSJ) did it in 2017 and they're already gone. I finally found a project building something from the ground up, www.shardus.com |

"Bubble" #40 will begin and the value of a single bitcoin will shoot to $100K. By then people will use it to buy the latest, globally scalable cryptocurrency for micro-transactions called (name here).

Neither provide true global scalability without sidechains. Bitcoin will remain at the top of everyone's list but will not be for micro transactions. There are several projects addressing scalability at the state, compute and storage levels (instead of tacking on second layer solutions to existing networks).
In this comparison Bitcoin is the best choice. Roger's annoying personality alone keeps me away from BCH.

Surprised so many responded with a resounding "yes." I could see why some think that. Would need both Democratic leaders and Republicans to get him out before 2020.
Trump paid hush money to porn stars and Playboy models in violation of campaign finance laws, and Republicans don’t care. He’s refused to divest himself of his businesses and is clearly making (YUGE) money from the presidency, and they don’t care. He’s naively blowing up the nation’s alliances and kissing up to adversaries without the vaguest clue about what he’s doing, and they don’t care. He’s ruthlessly attacked the U.S. intelligence community and the Department of Justice, purely for self-serving reasons, and they don’t care. He's racist, xenophobic, not a critical thinker who imagines the impact of decisions. Most importantly, he is suspected of conspiring with a foreign government. And Republicans really don’t care.
All Democrats care. Trump base less than 1/3 of US population now.
Predictive markets says 10/3 odds he's out in 2019. Spiked since he cowed to Putin on camera.
I say no, he won't be re-elected.

A group of computer engineers, lead by a former NASA and Yahoo systems architect is working to solve two of the biggest issues in distributed ledger technology. Started as the Unblocked Ledger Project in 2015, it continues today with the same core developer team and a new name. The project is called Shardus, a fourth-generation distributed ledger that utilizes a blockless architecture. By processing each transaction separately, instead of into blocks, Shardus is confident it can achieve true scalability, sustainability and decentralization. Shardus will be the first decentralized ledger that utilizes sharding techniques to evenly distribute compute, storage and bandwidth across all nodes. It features a unique consensus protocol, the Shardus Consensus Algorithm, to support immediate processing of transactions without grouping them into blocks by a leader or a temporary leader node. New Code Base — not forked from any other network The Shardus Consensus Algorithm — unique consensus model The Shardus Distributed Ledger — adding more nodes increases compute and storage capacity of the network while bandwidth remains constant The Shardus Token — incentive token for development and licensing Liberdus — a coin and peer-to-peer payment network will feature the first application of Shardus technology Shardus technology aims to support global-scale decentralized applications, reaching billions of users and require millions of transactions per second. Connect with Shardus Website: www.shardus.com Github: https://github.com/shardusTelegram: https://t.me/shardus Medium: https://medium.com/@shardusTwitter: https://twitter.com/@ShardusLedger Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shardus/We encourage everyone to read about the features and see a comparison chart in our white paper: https://shardus.com/Shardus_Whitepaper_20180816.pdf or visit our Wiki. |

Hey, thanks for the relo. Thought Project Development was the question.

I would be interested in writing some for you. I've been a professional writer for over 15 years, mostly for corporate communications and technical documents, not so much a blogger until recently (momma said if you do something well, don't do it for free). I have a Masters in Creative Writing and a year of PhD work in Professional and Technical Writing (Bitcoin and the dark web site Silk Road). I'm currently providing communications services for a blockchain development project. See some of my samples here: https://medium.com/mpg-research-communicationsemail: michael@mpgresearch.io |

I'm working with a project that has a unique approach to blockchain software development and would like to get opinions from those on the forum. Instead of fund-then-build (maybe) as many ICOs have done--usually getting fat and complacent--the project I'm working on is completely bootstrapped, and has created a token only issued to developers and early contributors of the project.
Those tokens are not sold by the project or shilled, instead they become part of a licensing model in which commercial projects must obtain (purchase) tokens and submit them for a license for the first 10 years. Tokens for commercial licenses get burned, creating additional value for the (incentive) token holders (founders, developers, contributors).
The software is released under Creative Commons, allowing anyone to view the code (and non-commercial uses are allowed with sitation/credit). After 10 years, the software becomes open to everyone, even for commercial use.
Has anyone hear of a model like this? Bootstrapped all the way to main net, build-then-reward instead of fund-then-build? Maybe there are lots of sleeper projects like this. (And even big projects may only have a handful of dedicated heads).
*Note I'm not getting into how the project will achieve distinction, you can do your own research. The project is private, not open source.

Great source for this topic. DYOR, DGYPK (don't give your private key!). |

I have seen a lot of threads here asking about whether people will invest in a coin or do bounty. Its high time we all understood that, investment is not only about money. To me, any effort put into something to make it a reality can be regarded as investment. People who buy coins invest with their monies whiles those who participate in bounties also invest with their time and energy. Money is a replaceable resource but time can never replaced. To me, bounty hunters are also investors. What do you think?
Looks like consensus here is that bounty hunters are investors--they invest their time and energy. It's the word that strikes fear these days "investment" or "investor"--let the US SEC (or any other government body) try to regulate my time and energy to a project, see where it gets them. I own my time and energy @ulcproject! |
