Volentix is a good project, I have joined their chat at telegram @Volentix if you want more!
The chat is really live and the admins super helpful and responsive.
Also, they are first at the Market Challenge held by Neironix in the AI section!

I think is worthy to check out!

Crypto is seen by a lot of people as a way to earn money! But it can be really dangerous if you haven't done your research first!
There are a lot of projects out there worth investing but a ton more that just want to scam you.

But crypto for me was a chance to free myself from all the centralization surrounding fiat money and many services! I am building a life and helping others as well.

As I said though everyone should do their research! 

Hey, guys, I found this article on Steemit, very interesting!
I just wanted your opinion, since i am new in the field!

The cryptocurrency community is growing and keeps getting bigger and bigger despite the great crypto depression currently depressing the entire spectrum including the legacy economy. People who are not only traders or investors, nor experts in the area of blockchain continue to enter this new, exciting and elite like society!

With this engagement and adoption, it now becomes vital - more than ever - to preach {and understand} the mantra “not your keys, not your crypto.”

For Blockchain to achieve mass adoption and enhance our lives, by freeing us from corruption, unsustainable tariffs, and middlemen, we need to ensure that new users and new entrants are safe. Because a bad experience of having coins stolen can be a devastating factor - and it has been and continues to be for the many lately.
While we recognize that it is a big personal responsibility to know about cryptocurrencies and its risks before joining, the already existing community could - with a feeling spirit of comradery, help the newbies understand and manage the risks involved.

On January 2nd, 2019, “The Proof of Keys” event was held.

It was an effort to educate people on monetary autonomy. Trace Mayers, the host of the event, wanted this event to be a turning point for everyone to take their keys off of 3rd party exchanges and raise awareness for new the people that enter the space.

Presenting the different levels of responsibility and autonomy helps people understand that just buying crypto doesn’t guarantee financial freedom or financial success. That said, holding your own private keys offline is the first and most important thing that can guarantee the safe storage of your investment long term.
Again, in Crypto, the saying goes ”Your Keys, Your Crypto. Not Your Keys, Not Your Crypto’’.

Example:

A private key is like the pin code of your VISA or AmEx card or online banking password. If someone has this information, they can pretty much do anything they want with your money. Use your money without your knowledge, and without your permission.

The same goes for private keys. It's this secret key that gives you access to your assets and allows you to complete any transaction and of course, it is the only way you can prove that you actually own the account. So, if you are not trusting anyone with your debit or credit card pin or password, then why would you do so with your private key?
At this point, we should also mention what a Public Address is. It is the paired address/number for your private keys, just by using cryptographic math functions. It is impossible to reverse engineer and reach the private key for which it was generated. This is the address used to publicly receive digital assets. This address is the one that is seen when receiving crypto - think of it as something like the IBAN for your bank accounts.

So, how do we keep private keys safe?

There are many types of wallets out there that do many different things.
Some allow the private keys to be stored and guarded by the user but they also keep a copy
Some “keep the key safe” instead of the users doing so themselves.

Most of the web and mobile wallet software services in the crypto market store user’s private key on their behalf on their servers. The keys get stored in an encrypted form which only the user can see after they decrypt it again.

You understand that the motto: "Not Your Keys Not Your Crypto" is apparent here. Talking about single point failure.

So, if we were you, we would only use VERTO! The wallet of wallets that wants to give you and easy interface to help keep your public and private keys safe in your possession.

Why? Because we believe in giving our community the power of their own assets. We believe that people should have control of their own money and use their private assets as they see fit without asking any middleman for permission.

We believe in freedom. Do you?
If you believe in yourself and your own ability to manage your value, download your own VERTO wallet here and say no to middlemen.

Very interesting to see, and experience myself also how this community can fit so many different people and give everyone a chance and a vision to count on.

Well, this is my story.

I am an engineer. That decided she likes to talk a lot! Marketing really gave me the opportunity for public speaking all around the world. It gave me the opportunity to start my own business in Greece, in the midst of the Greek economic crisis. And like that, I could talk to people. I could talk to companies. I never called them clients. I don't believe in clients. I believe in partnerships and synergies.

But mainly, true to my greek background and the philosopher's blood in me I believe in freedom. My motto since I can remember myself was and is the following:

We tried revolution to change our society. We tried it oh so many times. And we failed. Grievously. Time after time. Now it is time for innovation to take over and make things right!

So, one day a partner of mine from the past called me to let me know about this project called Volentix. When I first heard the name I was like "Ok. Now that's a name that a hero from Asterix village could have! Maybe the tech guy of the Gaullic Village could be named like this!". As a true marketer, a true comic reader and a true engineer that embraces fully my geek side I was completely hooked. I wanted to know more.

I knew that there is this new kind of technology out there. One that is seriously changing the status quo. One that is literally making our world a better place. With more trust and more abilities for everyone!

The more I knew the more I wanted to learn. The more I heard the more I wanted to read! I felt that this is it. This is the innovation I was talking about! The innovation I was expecting! I am happy I did that first step. The team, my team, our team consists of the most amazing and hardworking individuals I have met during my whole working life! Plus we are fully international, from Canada to Greece to Turkey to Georgia!

Volentix is my legacy! It is what I will leave behind! Should you have any questions please reach out!
