1  Other / Meta / Is it worth it for now? on: July 30, 2018, 10:21:25 AM
I believe everyone on here joined the forum for a purpose. It is prevalent now how some of the members fret about issues relating to merits. My inclination tells me this due to the idea of maximizing their earnings from bounty programs(signature to be specific). Getting merits is nowadays is a bit difficult than before due to several factors. Is it even worth it for now? I have read comments of members with higher ranks stating they are no longer participating in bounty programs any longer due to most being scam.

My little advice for such people is to be patient and focus on the reason why you joined the platform. If you joined to share ideas and experience, make that the utmost priority. It could be trading, expanding your mental model on cryptocurrency, business, and even bounty hunting.

And for bounty hunters who are desperate about getting merits for the sole purpose of increasing their earnings, be content with your current position and focus and build your social media pages(with regards to increasing friends/followers). You can make content creation and translation campaigns your strongholds (some even pay off better than the signature campaigns).

Lastly, remember the concept of merit can be related to real-life occurrence. It is not appropriate to do something good and expect a reward in return. Stick to this rule and you wouldn't fret about merits again.
Cheers!
2  Other / Meta / Tips to increase the chances of your post being merited on: July 29, 2018, 07:42:01 PM
I have been in the forum for a while now and I have come across several threads and post by obsessed members relating to they not receiving merits for their posts(base on subjectivity). Most of these individuals have lower ranks in the forum and being part of this sect, I always take time to go through the submissions(replies) by other members and I found most of them being useful. Some of these submissions were from merit givers (merit sources, members with higher ranks etc), so I took them seriously and decided share with my fellows in this situation.

Reading the replies of other members, I realized that most of them made an emphasis on poor construction and issues relating to grammatical errors. Some people may have good ideas and submissions to share but expressing it becomes a problem. Bad grammar, spelling mistakes, punctuational errors change the meaning of intended messages and decrease the quality of a post.

Having these problems at hand, I will like to share with forum members a tool that I been using which I think might be of good use to everyone. And it goes by the name G R A M M A R LY.

Grammarly is a cloud-based English-language writing-enhancement platform developed by Grammarly, Inc. The software was first released in late 2009. Grammarly's proofreading and plagiarism-detection resources[4] check against more than 250 grammar rules.



Some benefits of Grammarly:
1. Get a thorough grammar check.
2. Fix tricky spelling errors.
3. Say goodbye to punctuation errors.

For flexibility and portability sake, they have a mobile application and a chrome extension to meet diverse user needs.

My personal advice:
The concept of merit can be related to real life occurrences. We are always advised to do good and expect no reward in return. The same idea applies to merit. At the right time, we will all be rewarded accordingly.

Visit https://www.grammarly.com/ now to get the tool integrated into your browser or get the mobile version on Google playstore.



3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / GOOD NEWS FOR BOUNTY HUNTERS on: July 18, 2018, 10:26:36 AM


If you have participated in bounty campaigns for a while now, most specifically the social media campaigns. You will realize that most the of them requires bounty hunters to make about three or more constructive post per week.  You will agree with me this is sometimes annoying and boring because you have to think for a while before coming up with something nice. The most difficult part is you participating in both facebook and twitter campaign which requires different custom post every week.

As a bounty hunter, I thought of it that there are others in the forum who find this process tiring, especially for those with fewer friends and followers (Someone with huge friends/followers list receives greater stakes than you for performing the same task lol Grin)

I have compiled few custom posts that i think might be useful for most of us. All that you have to do is have an idea about the project you participating in their bounty and just change the names and little things in my preset messages. I will be updating the list as time goes on.

ENJOY!!!!!

4  Economy / Trading Discussion / The hard Truth on: July 12, 2018, 10:20:41 AM
Throughout my trading education(self-learning) most contents I read or watch regarding crypto trading states it point blank that "about 90% of crypto traders lose their funds"in the cause of trading.

This has somehow made me lose interest in learning to trade. Does this mean, that as a new trader or even the professionals have a marginal percentage of being successful in crypto trading? if your answer is no, then I guess there is rules or ethics you abide by that has made you successful in most of your trading.

I would be glad if members could share with us some of their tips and guides they've adopted in trading. I think good submissions will be of help to most people in this forum.

Thanks in advance!
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / The Blockchain approach to modern day water problems on: July 12, 2018, 09:44:09 AM


The rise of environmental degradation is becoming a topic that no one seems to pay attention to. The depletion of resources such as air, water, and soil would be a big blow to human existence when we act dormant and do nothing to address this uncomfortable problem.

As the famous saying goes "water is life", this attribute of water shows how important humans need water in their daily life. Unfortunately, it's only about 2.5% of the earth’s surface water is drinkable and usable. This is heartbreaking! All continents are being affected by the issue of water scarcity. An unusual instance is the Flint, Michigan water crisis which could be dated back to 2014. Till date, there haven't been any comprehensive solution to curb it. For the wise one, it's conclusive that, potable drinking water is a world problem that needs to be rectified once and for all.

Having this problem at hand, Mit-ra (A knowledge-based industry) focuses on utilizing the blockchain technology to produce water in the world with a high level of quality and consistency. For maximum security and safety, the Ai-Mit(a sophisticated software) will be used to evaluate and analyze the quality of treated water at any Mitra sites around the globe.

6  Economy / Economics / Security issues relating to Private Keys storage on: July 03, 2018, 07:40:27 PM
To my hypothesis, there are a lot of crypto enthusiasts who are fond of keeping their private keys, Keystore / JSON File, seed words, mnemonic phrases etc to their wallet on cloud storage platforms like google drive and the several others. From my little research and experience, I personally think to keep these sensitive data isn't the best due to its nature of proneness to unauthorized accesses.

I'm positive there are individuals in this forum with profound knowledge regarding this topic. We would be grateful if you share with us your experience, tips, advice and most importantly, secured ways and means we can manage our private keys.

Thank You!

9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / NAVIADDRESS- A digital addressing system for the 21st century on: June 19, 2018, 04:55:37 PM


Introduction
The emergence of modern services has led to the discovery of the essence of digital addressing systems. It is now common for customers to place an order in the comfort of their homes and get their items delivered safely. People who find themselves in entirely new environments might need addressing system to make life a bit easier. Digital addressing systems aren’t something new to us. However, most of these systems are known to have geographical constraint. A typical example is the new addressing system in my country (Ghana). The system’s functionalities are limited to locations within the country. Having this problem at hand, Naviaddress seeks to develop a global unified addressing system (based on the blockchain technology) that uses only digits as means to address locations around the globe.

Problem Space
Current addressing systems have been exposed to be less efficient. The issues of bad addressing have been a core element of these systems. Most of these systems lack accuracy, others have left some locations and objects unaddressed. Language barrier has been a great challenge to these systems, long address format that is relatively difficult to memorize and recall. Those that could be considered reliable and effective also have geographical restrictions.

Naviaddress Solution Model

Working hard to develop a decentralized global addressing system, Naviaddress focuses on engaging individuals and companies across the globe to assist in the assignment, modification, and exchange of addresses in their database. This will help meet the addressing needs of the world. On the Naviaddress platform, physical addresses will be depicted with only digits for easy recognition (e.g. [71] 0022).

Another interesting feature of the Naviaddress platform is the simplicity nature of its address and location description. This is entirely made of a precise, hierarchical sequence of digits beginning in most cases with a Container (corresponding to the international country code) and followed by a sequence of digits based either on information from a specific postal address or automatically assigned by the System.


Besides the unique addressing, there are other criteria to differential addresses on the Naviaddress platform. These may include three distinct categories:
* Custom naviaddresses, representing dynamic objects, that may be moved;
* Postal naviaddresses, representing static objects, such as buildings, structures or locations; and
* Global naviaddresses, depicting mobile objects;

Users can create premium naviaddresses instant via the mobile application or the website. This is a comprehensive initiative to improve the services of online business directories.

Role of the Navitokens™ on the Naviaddress platform
The platform will make use of the Navitokens™ (NVT) as the primary mode of sending and receiving payments. As a means of promoting naviaddress, users on the platform will be rewarded for performing tasks such as registration, invitation of others, creation of popular Custom naviaddresses and other activities and also serves as a payment method for the right to a Premium Naviaddress through auction.


Why use Naviaddress?
Naviaddress seeks to offer a wide range of benefits to diverse people and cooperates. The platform is made to satisfy the requirements of most individuals and industries (Restaurants, real estates, religious centers etc.). We identified some of the benefits various stakeholder could derive from the use of the Naviaddress platform:

1. First and foremost, being built on the blockchain technology comes with great benefits. Transactions executed on the platform would be secured, cost-effective and fast with the aid of smart contract. High level of decentralization and transparency.

2. Simple and unified address to make it easy to memorize and recall. It also helps to accurately address a given location.

3. Extension of the naviaddress services to all places and objects (mobile and static) with a 3-dimensional area coverage capabilities.

4. Collaborating with individuals and businesses to make Naviaddress addressing system better, with the geolocation information, anybody may contribute by adding an address to the system provided it is not already there.

5. Provisions have been made for government and firms to own a premium address which comes with great features.

Most importantly, Naviaddress goes beyond offering an addressing solution. It is an Internet platform that focusses on assisting businesses, non-profit and government organizations alike gain the exposure and a good reputational resource.

Conclusion
Based on the points discussed earlier on in this report, I think Naviaddress is a project worth considering for investors. It has many use cases and serves as a solution mechanism for almost everyone on earth. The most interesting and encouraging part is, the first version of the Naviaddress Platform has been developed on the basis of security guarantees as provided by the following modules:
• NaviToken, ERC20 token based on the Ethereum platform;
• Wallet of Naviaddress Platform, where the tokens created during the TGE are initially stored. A commission from the auction sale and resale of rights to addresses is collected on this wallet.
• Naviaddress metadata stores based on BigchainDB (https://www.bigchaindb.com);
• Content storage based on IPFS (https://ipfs.io) for media files linked to a naviaddress metadata;
• Naviaddress rights store smart contracts based on Ethereum;
• Auction, an external module based on a blockchain (e.g. DomRaider) for obtaining the benefit of a naviaddress.

10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / An insight into the Sparkster Platform on: June 13, 2018, 06:06:04 PM
In simple terms cloud computing is referred to as the delivery of computer services over the internet (i.e. cloud). These services may include databases, storages, networking, servers and several others. Cloud computing is widely adopted across the globe with many people having no idea they make use of it in their day-to-day activities. A typical use case of cloud computing is storing and managing files in your Google Drive account or creating new app and services on the internet. Besides having numerous benefits, the traditional way of proving cloud services have been proven to have gaps and loopholes (security and privacy, performance and bandwidth cost, architecture transparent etc.). The staffs of Sparkster, having once faced these challenges decides to find a way out (i.e. improving the services of traditional cloud storage providers). They focus on developing a decentralized cloud network that will facilitate the deployment of smart software across a network of cell phones, notebooks, laptops or other personal devices held by their network of miners.

In order for Sparkster to compete with the guru in the industry like Amazon®, Microsoft® and Google®, a cost-effective product with great utility should definitely be a matter of interest.
The Next Generation Sparkster Decentralized Cloud will use devices of miners on their network to harness cloud services at a very cheaper rate as compared to traditional cloud computing. With traditional cloud computing, increase in the number of nodes does not have an influence on operational cost. The average cost per operation remains unchanging. However, with the decentralized network, increase in nodes (economical) means a decrease in the cost per operation. This feature will make Sparkster achieve competitive over the others in the market. SPARK tokens will be the primary payment mode for institutions who wish to run software on the Sparkster Decentralized Cloud. A portion of these tokens earned will be distributed to participants in the Sparkster Decentralized Cloud.

Having made provisions for a better cloud computing services (than that of the traditional cloud computing), Sparkster goes a step further to introduce another interesting feature that allows novice (having no knowledge about computer programming) to develop smart software with plain language (English to be specific) by themselves via an intuitive interface with drag and drop capabilities. This innovation is proven to be 100x faster and cheaper than Traditional Software Development. There have been many software development methodologies like the spiral model, the waterfall, V-model etc. Using these methodologies requires the software engineer to gather, analyze and prepare a stable requirement via consistent interaction with user/client. Recent research works have exposed how these traditional software development life cycle can be time-consuming and its contribution to software project failure. On the Sparkster platform, all that you need is an idea and it will be transformed into a working software. Life in this technology age has become much simpler, thanks to this innovative idea by Sparkster.

The Sparkster platform aims to empower individuals to sell their ideas, find patrons and fans to help bring their dream into a reality. And also providing businesses with the tools to build the business process of the future that will assist them in achieving a competitive advantage. Security, privacy, architectural transparency etc. are issues that have been giving high priority in the Sparkster system.

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / AUTOMATED BUG BOUNTY–Subsystem of the Uncloak's cybersecurity threat mgt. model on: June 12, 2018, 09:30:18 AM
Prior to this article was a general overview of the UNCLOAK project in which we looked at the problem space, the proposed solution and some of the benefits that could be derived from the use of the system. In today's post, we are going to look at an essential feature of the uncloak cyber security management system. Developing a comprehensive solution to solve the issue of unauthorized access to sensitive financial data, UNCLOAK focuses on introducing “AUTOMATED BUG BOUNTY” as part of its cybersecurity threat management tool.

What are bug bounties and its present structure?
A bug bounty program is a deal offered by many websites and software developers by which individuals can receive recognition and compensation for reporting bugs, especially those pertaining to exploits and vulnerabilities ("Bug bounty program," n.d.). The traditional way of bug bounty isn’t that effective and lacks proper management. Anybody with a skill in hacking can take advantage of systems in the name of being a bug hunter. Some of these people pay no attention to professional computing ethics and lack credibility (i.e. You can’t trust them with your confidential data even after rewarding them for identifying vulnerabilities in your system). This is due to scares regulatory body.

What makes Uncloak's automated bug bounty different?
It might be of less importance if UNCLOAK tries to come up something that we already know of or a product that does not add value and improve the existing nature of bug bounty programs. We identified certain features of the bug bounty that makes it unique from the others.

Being developed on blockchain 3.0 will assist in creating a database of registered ethical hackers that goes through a thorough verification process. These hackers, software engineers and penetration testers, also known as hunters are granted access to the UNCLOAK platform to identify a companies (partner of Uncloak) security flaws and vulnerability. And also foster proper management and regulation.

A voting system as a means of threat validation. The use of blockchain and a smart contract will assist in validating vulnerabilities as to whether they are true threats or not. The voting system will be used as a mechanism for validators (accredited hunters of Uncloak) check if a claimed vulnerability by their fellow hunter is genuine. A positive outcome will trigger an automated rewarding of Uncloak tokens (UNC) to the hunter and the vulnerability being stored on the blockchain as a real cyber threat. These token can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies and also fiat money.

Why Uncloak's automated bug bounty?
For companies and individual, the Uncloak platform will provide a real-time protection of their financial data. They wouldn’t worry about losing assets and reputation. They will have the option to work with a specific hunter without having trust issues with regards to their information and data being compromised.

Bug hunter may earn extra cash form their skill and also gain recognition. Several ways to earn tokens (i.e. either by validating vulnerabilities or discovering some) and regular update of cyber threat vulnerabilities for subscribers on the platform (for research purposes and resolution).

Conclusion
Having identified the numerous features and benefits of the automated bug bounty of Uncloak threat detection system (a part of a whole), it calls for worldwide adoption and support to fight mass data breach and unauthorized access.

12  Bitcoin / Project Development / FLUXORIN- Decentralized music streaming platform. on: June 07, 2018, 01:45:31 PM
Music has been described by many people as “food for the soul and heart”. This is a clear insinuation of music being vital to human development for the past centuries. As the world evolves to a technological epoch, it has had great influence in the music industry. There are varieties of ways in which music is used nowadays, and new royalty streams are created as the music industry and technology continue to progress. Adoption of digital music has created a source of revenue for artists and companies like YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, Beatport and several others. Having lacking transparency and security in the process chain of music production and distribution, FLUXORIN seeks to utilize the blockchain technology to address the problem of artist royalties and payments and facilitating the digital distribution of music. Besides, offering a new model of the music creation process via the Decentralized Autonomous Labels

New forms of digital distribution of music have made music readily available with the aid of device with internet capabilities for a little fee or downloaded illegally for free. This has narrowed the numerous opportunities that an artist could benefit from, with regards money. Social Media and blogs have also made the promotion of music much easier and have also aided artist to establish a good relationship with its consumers. Unfortunately, change of trend in the music industry has gone further to help certain parties (i.e. Artists and customers) to achieve a strategic advantage over others (i.e. Record labels).

FLUXORIN being built on the blockchain technology focuses on developing a comprehensive decentralized system that will make use of smart contracts that will allow artists to patent their works (i.e. arts) and also provide the services of automated collection and deployment of royalty payments which will remain in the control of the artists themselves. Distributed Autonomous Labels (DAL) will be a key feature in their system. Talking in terms of use cases, various key actors can be identified including consumers. They play a very important role in the process chain. An artist’s returns (monetary) is highly dependent on the consumers. With this information at hand, FLUXORIN is taking a step towards developing a system that meets consumer requirement and needs. They are trying to incorporate the blockchain technology and strategies to assist in customer acquisition and retention. This would be achieved by designing portable and user-friendly interface to improve the overall user experience.

The FLUXORIN system comes with amazing benefits to various actors in the ecosystem. In the subsequent paragraphs, we are going to look at the benefits some stakeholder could derive from the adoption of this innovative project.
Generally, the FLUXORIN system utilizing the blockchain technology will promote decentralization leading to transparency through the music creation and distribution process. Trust issues won’t be something to worry about any longer. Improved transaction speed, security and a very low operational cost for the various stakeholders.

Smart Contracts are blockchain based contracts that work like functions. They are executed automatically when certain conditions are met. Thanks to decentralization, these contracts are free from fraud and alteration and can be used to facilitate the exchange of valuable things like money, shares, content, etc. As a result of this great feature, individuals involved in the music creation process would be able to set the percentages of the ownership, and thus the part of the revenue stream generated by the track.

To address the issues of cost on the side of the consumers, peer to peer storage and delivery technologies is employed. This will lead to a cost-effective way of distributing and publishing music of high quality. Besides, usability and user experience goals will guide the developers in coming up with products that will satisfy user’s requirement and needs.

Implementation of the Sharism model will enable artists to earn money in the form of FLUXORIN tokens (a fast and secure payment mechanism) for access granted to listeners for their work. When a listener plays a song, payment in the form of a digital coin is sent to the artists' account. The smart contract will assist in the payment process known as “Pay per Play” license (PPP) safely. The contract can be modified to perform complex instances like distribution of tokens earned from a playback to several individuals involved in the content creation (individuals in a band).
Serving as an all-around solution model to the music industry, the big record label can benefit from the system due to its flexibility in shares allocation. They can put their patented works onto FLUXORIN blockchain and keep enjoying the upscaled consumption. Other key stakeholders like marketers, promoter, DJs, and social curators can also utilize the system.

Starts-up can develop sophisticated technologies on the FLUXORIN system to meet demands that may arise in the course of the system usage.
To sum up, the conceptual model of the FLUXORIN project is great and aims to solve a real-world problem. Seeking to improve the process chain of the music market via effective royalty allocations, transparency, low operational cost, use of DLA which helps in the distribution and several others.
The project is also being pursued by team members with great skill of expertise in various fields of work.

The world adoption of remitting services has become popular and easily accessible to the extent, individuals can send and receive money from virtually any part of the world. It has also led to the emergence of various institutions offering or assisting such great services. Unfortunately, the rise of the financial crisis has led to the disclosure of flaws in the traditional way of sending and receiving money across the globe. The consequences of these flaws are being suffered by both established companies and new entrants in the money transfer market.

As tertiary students working on research-based projects focus on producing original works (reports, products) which will contribute to worlds’ knowledge, so as new entrants into the money transfer market aims to resolve existing problems (ie. High transaction fees and slow speed of money transfer due to many intermediaries involved throughout the process, poor customer service and several others. ) faced by those already in the market. The failure has made the giants in the market monopolized greater shares.
The team members of find.EXCHANGE with an unusual foresight and having discovered gaps in the market, seeks to build an ecosystem that will resolve or fill these gaps.

The introduction of the FEX token to the existing platform (A Decentralized Global Comparison Money Transfer Platform Based on Blockchain for Fiat/Crypto Currencies) seeks to make money transfer around the globe cost effective. Eliminating trivial intermediaries means lesser chargers through the transfer process leading to a relatively cheaper transaction fee.

The KYC process can sometimes be frustrating and time consuming. It takes between a day, to sometimes weeks in order for an applicant to be verified. The find.EXCHANGE ecosystem (based on the blockchain technology) is focused on making the verification process one time and hustle free, making it accessible to trusted partners on their platform. This will speed up the transaction process.

15  Bitcoin / Project Development / UNCLOAK -The Next Generation Cyber Security Threat Management on: June 02, 2018, 05:27:13 PM
As the world moves towards a technological epoch, data processing, managing and security is becoming relatively important. Confidential data of businesses and individuals are being gathered by specialized systems (eg. Transaction Processing System, Health Information system, Customer Relationship Management System, etc.) throughout their daily interaction and communication with these systems. This has led to rise of cyber-crimes in recent times. These cyber threats may take different forms (e.g., application attacks, malware, ransom ware, phishing, exploit kits).

Unfortunately, cyber criminals have cost effective and easily accessible resources to assist them in carrying out sophisticated attacks. This deviant behavior has led to the collapse of institutions, loss of wealth and lives, etc. Cyber threats are mostly targeted at secret, political, military or infrastructural assets of a nation, or its people. Deductively, it’s clear the cyber security industry have flaws and these flaws to be dealt with. UNCLOAK, a blockchain based technology seeks to develop a comprehensive ecosystem to help fill the gaps in the cyber security market.
Uncloak is a distinctive and fully scalable blockchain based technology that enables businesses and individuals to monitor, protect themselves against and eliminate cyber threats, staying one step ahead of the cyber adversaries. It incorporates several mechanisms to achieve a maximum cyber security needs of its users. Some of the mechanisms are elaborated below:

•   Block chain powered bug bounty campaign to help fight cyber security issues. The introduction of the Uncloak token (UNC) with the aid of smart contract will be used to develop a voting right system that allows community of Uncloak accredited IT security specialists, software developers etc. to performs system and network analyses for vulnerabilities. Provisions will be made for verifying vulnerabilities identified by hunters and rewarded with UNC tokens accordingly.

•   An alliance formed with Krzana™ to build an advanced Artificial Intelligent (AI) that will scan the public internet and dark web for potential threats and vulnerabilities. Serving as Intel for further investigation and research to help maintain an up-to-date solution to security related problems.


•   Improved tools that will allow users to scan their internal network and cloud environment for threats and vulnerabilities and report back to the central dashboard.
Uncloak project being a problem-solving oriented, comes with great benefits to all kinds of users. In the following paragraph, we will look at some of the benefits one can derive from the adoption and effective use Uncloak services.
For individuals, Uncloak is focused on developing usable products that will lead to achieving a usability goal (ie. developing a product that is safe to use). Client’s private data will be protected from unauthorized access, hacks and breaches effortlessly, making them feel confident and well protected whiles connected to the internet.

Most companies are highly prone to cyber-attacks due to them having data that are of interest to hackers. These data ranges from highly sensitive government data to customer private data like credit card and bank details, social security numbers (SSN) etc. Improper management of such data comes with great consequences. The uncloak platform has been designed to adopt all business processes that involve data transmission. Partners enjoy a whole lot of benefits including;
securely sharing of  data with external environment (suppliers, customers, etc.), real-time analytics and automated reporting with a locked audit trail of everything, acquisition of tamper-proof databases for maximum data security, the opportunity to request for hunters(certified by Uncloak Team) to perform pen testing on their systems and several others.
Uncloak platform seeks to provide bug hungers on their platform the credibility and exposure through an effective KYC process. Besides, hunters are also rewarded with UNC token for pursuing activities on the platform such as identifying vulnerabilities. This is an opportunity for skilled persons to earn extra cash online by doing what they like to do for fun.

In the long run, data security is a very important issue that needs to be addressed for once. Even though we have existing technologies with similar motives, there is the need for a permanent solution to cyber threats. Uncloak a block chain 3.0 powered project comes with numerous benefits including decentralization, cost effectiveness, transparency and much more, making it interesting and worth implementing.
Uncloak has a great team members who have worked on similar projects and already have products that are being utilized by small to large institutions.

16  Bitcoin / Project Development / HYDRO RAINDROP-A Public Ledger for Private Systems. on: May 27, 2018, 08:22:46 PM
The world is evolving at a very faster pace than we thought of. The incorporation of systems (with regards to technology) in various aspects of life, such as health care, governance, accounting and finance, and several others has led to the big data era. Sensitive financial data are being exchanged over local networks and the Internet as well, making confidential data prone to unauthorized access by intruders and breaches. The occurrence of such unethical practices has negative effects on the financial institution and its stakeholders.

The Hydro project; a public ledger for private systems built on the blockchain technology seeks to provide complementary security features to financial service providers. Even though there are already existing and great private authentication protocols such as the Google authenticator and OAuth 2.0, ODE HTP, Authy etc. A significant improvement in these technologies will yield a greater good (ie. Achieving a maximum level of data security).

Raindrop: An additional feature of the Hydro public ledger (a blockchain authentication service) to offer reliable and immutable globally viewable level of security. This service helps in verifying whether or not an accessed is coming from an authorized source. Raindrop-based verification with Hydro is analogous. A transaction is defined and the user must execute it from a known wallet. The only way the user can conduct a valid transaction is by accessing the wallet in question.

Hydrogen comes with great benefits which we would like to a review few of them in the subsequent paragraphs. Key benefits may include the following:

Hydro can exist independently, which makes it different to other services. For easy deployment, it is developed to layer around new or existing systems without requiring systemic change. This makes adoption of hydro cost effective, hustle free and easy accessible. Users plugged into the Hydrogen API can access the blockchain conveniently.

It provides additional security for highly sensitive financial data. This will curb the issues of vast data breach and unauthorized access to financial data. Indirectly, it will help financial institutions achieve a usability goal (ie. developing products or services that are safe to use).

With regards to developers, Hydro Raindrop will be made available worldwide as open source software for modification and integration with other REST APIs to aid in developing products that meets their needs and requirements.

It promotes decentralization. Smart Contracts are blockchain-based contracts that are executed as soon the underlying conditions are matched. Since there is no centralized authority, these contracts are free from frauds, interference or speculation. These contracts can be used to facilitate the exchange of anything valuable like money, shares, content, etc.

In conclusion, the HYDRO project has come to solve crucial financial problems, which makes it worth deploying. Besides, there are great team members behind the project, making it very promising.
