How Crypterium is going to change the world", - Austin Kimm, COO & Co-founder. Austin Kimm, co-founder of Crypterium, has run businesses that have a market evaluation of well over a billion dollars. But those are not the companies that can change the world. Crypterium is. Austin explains why:

"My career has mostly focused on the financial services sector, and it's very old and very dull. It repeats itself over and over again, there is nothing new in this world right now. That’s why Crypterium was such an exciting prospect for me. It can really change the world."

Vote of Confidence: Who Paper Hurts the Most
https://medium.com/votem/vote-of-confidence-who-paper-hurts-the-most-c2e851cc7868

Last week, we explored why the arguments for paper-based voting systems don’t stand up as well as they may seem. As previously stated in this series, paper certainly resolves some of the most pressing issues with today’s outdated voting machines but a regression to exclusively paper ballots will do harm to the voting public our civic infrastructure is designed to serve.

Accessibility: Traditional polling places are an archetypal image in what we associate with our elections. Long lines around the corner, happy voters wearing “I Voted” stickers on their lapel; the image is repeated virtually every election season. This image, however, casts voters of different abilities out completely.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted a study of 178 polling places spread across the United States during the 2016 elections. According to the GAO, ⅔ of the polling places, both for early voting and during election day, had some sort of impediment for voters with disabilities. That number was up from ½ of polling places during the 2008 study. According to the results of the study, published as part Pew’s “Stateline” series, impediments ranged from lack of wheelchair access to a polling place to special machines equipped with earphones and other modifications that weren’t even powered on the day of the election. As sobering as these figures are, things would get worse if there were to be a mass regression towards paper. Traditional paper-based voting systems have little to no accommodations for the visually impaired or hard of hearing. Furthermore, the traditional locales where paper balloting often do not meet minimum requirements for accessibility as determined by the United States Access Board.

https://fair-coin.org/en/new-200-faircoin-donation-campaign-non-profits-has-started-apply-now



In light of the desire of FairCoop to expand its reach globally, and in order to take new realities into account, the donation campaign in its second phase is re-starting with new a value (this time 200 FairCoin are offered to those groups that adhere to our criteria). This will serve to further increase our visibility at a time of growing real-world success and practical growth, and function as a positive feedback loop, where more cooperatives hear about FairCoin and start using it, and more goods and services become available, resulting in a slow but steady increase in our ecosystem.

In the first part of this FairCoop donation campaign, launched almost three years ago, 62 applications were received. Now that FairCoin is growing stronger as a cryptocurrency, supported by a growing community all around the world, we hope that this second part of the campaign will generate even more success between the collectives and FairCoop partners.

Momentum Review — Part 1: The New Way of Marketing & Customer Loyalty



In the competitive business world, companies are desperately trying to bond their customers and provide them with the necessary appeal to do so. Momentum is a new project that’s speculated to make a tremendous impact on how brands and retailers interact with their shoppers. A blockchain based solution running on the Ethereum network; Momentum was founded upon a rather unique concept that will enable brands to effectively collect actionable and insightful data on their customers through an incentivized approach. With the launch of the MobileBridge Momentum Token taking place on April 26th, 2018 — hype is building as we near the release of a Cryptocurrency that many believe will solve one of the biggest problems that retailers face today.

https://medium.com/@izetex_project/izetex-evolution-d8eca57e0ff9



our deals are developing rapidly: we are preparing to conclude a partnership agreement with US VR Global and planning to integrate IZX token into the largest VR-parks of the world — in SouthEast Asia, Macao and North America. We plan global scaling of the project — to integrate new games into IZETEX platform and to attract advertisers of the largest international businesses.

We made a decision to amend some points of the project in order to speed up the development of the platform and to facilitate understanding of the technological process for all parties.

ERC-20 IZX tokens’ holders will be able to use IZX Drive tokens for advertising in games based on our platform. Therefore, the price of the IZX Drive token must be substantially less than the price of ERC-20 token, so that advertisers can purchase enough tokens to test the platform’s work.

According to the data collected from our MVP, the average advertiser must simultaneously have hundreds of IZX Drive tokens for an effective marketing campaign. The low price of tokens will help to attract new advertisers to the testing process and to improve the beta version of the platform. Our tests show that the current price of a $ 1 token is an obstacle for many advertisers, since the budget of the trial advertising campaign will be hundreds of dollars.

In this regard, we carry out a number of changes in the structure of our token-model, which we present below:

1. Reducing the price of the IZX ERC-20 token to $ 0.01 *
* For those, who bought tokens IZX ERC-20 for $ 1, the balance will be recounted and tokens will be automatically accrued in proportional amount.

2. Recounting the issue of ERC-20 tokens
Now total supply is 5 000 000 000, at a price of 1 ERC-20 = 0.01 USD

3. Increasing the share of ERC-20 tokens allocated for the bounty program
21% of the total will be allocated to the bounty, and the program is extended for 35 months, with payments once a month.

CREDITS over 400K TPS Alpha Test. CREDITS development team completed testing Alpha version of the platform and is ready to present the results. The goal was to check the maximum load of the system and how it is resistant to processing large volumes of transactions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS_Z41r4sCs

The Alpha version of CREDITS showed a speed of 488 403 transactions per second during the testing



The technicians of the CREDITS blockchain platform completed testing of the system Alpha version. The goal was to check what is its maximum load and how it is resistant to processing large volumes of transactions, identify its problems and resolve them.

- At the peak load the system could process pool (block) of 488 403 transactions per second. We reworked the entire big data storage architecture, API, and some of the individual platform components during testing. The video of the testing procedure is posted on our YouTube channel. Below is the text with technical detail as a supplement, — says Eugeniy Butyaev CTO at CREDITS.

https://medium.com/@Serenity_financial/important-announcement-change-in-road-map-and-future-plans-abf5aaf2ff6e

A week has passed since the end of our ICO. Thank you to all who participated to reach our final sum! After all the calculations our total amount in USD at the time when we stopped the crowdsale was $4,034,745!

During the past week we have managed to fulfill almost all SRNT payments, and all available tokens are already in circulation. In the next days we will still be transferring tokens for some of the last small credit card purchases, which got delayed due to KYC. Since all unsold tokens had been already burned, for these transfers we will be taking tokens out of the team’s pool.

During the campaign, we have encountered heavy interest from both crypto and institutional contributors.

CEO & Founder of a Blockchain startup KickCity

Gideon is an Engineer and an experienced team builder, visionary and leader. He studied in Geneva Business school Barcelona Campus and recently graduated from 'Y Combinator' Startup School Accelerator.

KickCity is an event marketing and management platform that uses the power of Blockchain technology and crowdsourcing to create a more efficient community for event organizers, promoters and attendees. It creates a decentralized protocol that gives event organizers a means to effectively market and get more sold out events, allows event promoters (the crowd) to get rewarded for inviting people in their network to events, and event attendees to receive a loyalty reward for attending events.

We believe that creating this community of the future around the event space will create a stronger revenue generating industry for all parties involved.
