Hello, here is Sky11, a strong anti-counterfeiting technology for real physical objects (IoT inside) backed by a token that enables the economy of these objects, as well as an ecosystem made of unlimited modular services, for the objects, users and companies: http://sky11.io/

Sorry I don't understand, which mentioned page ? There is only one project, called KissChain. It's the description of a protocol, the project would be to implement it.

Thanks,

Camille.

Ask me anything.


It's not a coin, it's an overview of a blockchain clockwork. It could be used to implement a coin, but not only. It's a blockchain that doesn't need to consume power and hardware like Bitcoin, and that is more simple and reliable that actual PoS.


It's not a service, it the description of an protocol that anyone can implement.

Yes indeed, but the main concepts are here, it needs to be worked on, if people are interested.

What other project? The root project? Checkoin?

Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce KissChain, a technical proposal for getting rid of tedious issues related to proof-of-stakes blockchains, instead of solving them, by following the KISS principle (Keep It Stupid, Simple): https://checkoin.org/misc/kisschain/

It is not an altcoin yet per say, but the base to implement new altcoins. Please tell me what you think, and if anyone would be interested in implementing creating an altcoin based on this idea let me know.

Thank you,

Camille.

Hello, I would like to propose a solution for authenticating physical goods that are subject to counterfeiting (gold coins, medicine, banknotes, artwork, organic seeds, collector's stamps, vintage wine, etc.). It would come in the form of a cryptographic microchip sealed by the manufacturer into the object to be authenticated, or into its packaging if the object is too small (packaging must irreversibly damaged once opened). The printed circuit would include a microchip able to make cryptographic signatures and communicate via NFC, and small battery (rechargeable via USB when empty).

When sealed into the object the microchip self-generates a cryptographic keypair. The manufacturer retrieves the public key from the microchip (the private key can't be communicated outside of the chip by any mean), generates a record data describing the object along with its microchip's public key, signs it, and records the data on a blockchain (dedicated or existing, not decided yet).

When anyone wants to authenticate the origin and the uniqueness of such an object, they just need to place their smartphone near the object, then:

1 - A compatible smartphone app retrieves the public key of the microchip via NFC.
2 - The app retrieves the corresponding data previously recorded by the manufacturer from the blockchain.
3 - The app authenticates the manufacturer and its signature of the data record.
4 - The app extracts the public key of the microchip from the data record.
5 - The app send random data to the microchip via NFC to be signed.
6 - The microchip signs the provided random data with its corresponding private key and sends the signature back to the app via NFC.
7 - The app checks the signature, and displays information to the user regarding the fact that the microchip and the manufacturer passed the test, or not.

That's it. I think this kind of technology could be very useful in various domains, I would like to develop it as an open, patent free and decentralized standard. I need help and advise for that, can you help me?

Thank you very much,

Camille.

PS: The microchip functionalities could be extended, e.g. carrying cryptocurrencies cold wallets (a bit similar too https://opendime.com/). This technology is a simplified version of my main project https://checkoin.org/, which allows to reach the same goal with low-tech solutions (but more complicated to implement, I cannot find any help, TLTR I guess…), more info about physical cryptocurrencies cold wallets exchangeable like cash on the site.

There is no reasoning, just pattern observation, which can stop matching, which could be matching for totally random reasons, or which is a real symptom of a bigger trend cycle, then yes it might go down. $1000 sounds very low to me too, but that's what I see by overlapping the curves. But I have no idea :-)

I have no opinion on this, I just shared some observations that have revealed themselves to be consistent over the past 2 years, I'm not saying that it will continue to match. But if it does yes it will go down after a second peak in about 50 days.

Maybe, we'll see, I was just sharing my thoughts. Nevertheless I do see the pattern because I've followed it for a long time, and it turned out to be very effective in anticipating ups and downs. About the 2 weeks / 5 months period I've answered below what my intuition came from (Hermetism), this is an old and well known phenomenon, but not an exact science, I might be wrong.

Maybe, but that's not what I've observed so far, when I anticipated a trend based on this pattern analysis and an event came to disrupt it, the trend catches up later. You can see that there is a hole that I circled in red when SegWit happened, if you look at the same 2013 corresponding segment, you see that the unexpected SegWit hole heals by itself in order to catch up the trend where it was supposed to be. But I might be wrong.

Thank you. Well I had this intuition while studying Hermetism 2 years ago, especially the Principle of Correspondence, encapsulated in the term As Above, So Below that I mentioned before. It is an old Egyptian philosophy explaining that Nature works like fractals, the more you zoom in or out, the more you find the same thing. Like a galaxy is a center with things revolving around, zooming in you find stars that are a center with things revolving around, zooming in you find planets that are a center with satellites revolving around, down to an atom which is a center with particles revolving around (very small and fast). So when seeing a very small and fast pattern like the 2013 November trend I tried to see a bigger and a little slower pattern, here it was.


I guess too, cycles ends, this might be the last Bitcoin cycle, who knows. That's also why I looked more to the global cryptocurrencies chart than the Bitcoin chart itself. Bitcoin can disappear, but not all cryptos which will fill the void, so the trend may repeat again at a global altcoin scale.

It appears to be closer to $1000 that $1500, but it is very possible. There are several parameters in this trend, it can be simply stretched out and onionskinned, but I could also distinguish bigger waves that would morph the totality of the shape (As Above, So Below), and there is also pretty big contrast change in waves' heights, the ups and downs match in their chronology, but not necessarily their heights.

Hi mltbg, thank you, no I did not cash much because I'm more an observer than an investor, but I made a little extra :-)

If it follows the pattern it should go back around $1000, yes indeed.

Hello, I have noticed some strong pattern matching between November 2013 and the 2014-2017 period. Maybe some analysts have noticed it too, but as I'm no investor nor trader I may have missed it, so I take the liberty of sharing this with you just in case. I started to see the beginning of this trend about 2 years ago, as it seemed to confirm itself day after day, I took the risk of making a forecast back in January 2017, estimating a price peak between $5000~$4000. It appears to have followed the trend since this forecast, I could roughly figure out with no much surprise if the price would go up or down, knowing where we were at in the November 2013 period (I use global cryptocurrencies price charts, not BTC only, but it work as well), by recognizing the pattern with more or less contrast in waves' height. If this theory is correct, the 2017-09-02 price peak might be the highest price of the trend, it might test again this limit in 45~50 days, what do you think?

Hi all, I've added examples of coins that could be manufactured in order to help visualising what it could look like: http://checkoin.org/#examples-of-emcoinsem

Tell me what you think,

Thanks,

Camille.

Hi Dink, thanks for you reply and for taking the time to read. To be honest I'm a bit sick with technology, this idea just popped in my head last month and I made the effort to lay it down because I think it can be useful, so I shouldn't keep it for myself, but now I devote my volunteering time to other things than technology (I'm a software developer, I spend enough time in front of a screen). So, if the idea gets traction and I can get paid or pay others to do it, I'll do it with pleasure and care, but I won't sacrifice myself on it voluntarily if there is no support. I have proposed rewards for crowdfunding, and left the door open for people to choose their own rewards, so if companies find their interest in it they can imagine their business models and ask for an advantageous positions as a reward (blacklight application developers, blacklight hardware manufacturers, minters, auditors, etc.), if they don't then there is no point of developing such a technological standard.

For price stability I suggest that blacklights displays the price of the asset held by the coins in local fiat currency, so in one scan the common people have an idea of its value right away. Checkoin is not a cryptocurrency, it carries other cryptocurrencies, so stability of the value is out of scope (until we develop the dedicated Checkoin currency on top of it, but it's not for first release).

Thanks again Dink keep me posted on your re-read! :-)

Camille.

No, you just check the Visible Scan Data, there is no more data seal in that case, but a nugget seal (it can be a tiny slice of gold valuing 50 cents), the Visible Scan Data validates the fact that the coin is unique and coming from the legit minter. We can fake gold coins, if we put a Checkoin Visible Scan Data on it it becomes much harder. And if we make plastic coins with a little nugget it can be used for daily purchase, it's easier to fake plastic coins, but with the Visible Scan Data you get a pretty good guarantee.

Thanks r0ach, you gave me great idea! Indeed, Checkoin could secure the circulation of gold itself!
