Key Concept - Storage LifecycleOne of the main subsystems on the ProximaX Sirius platform is storage. This article describes a key concept of the Proximax Sirius platform which is the storage lifecycle. The specific actors of this storage lifecycle are the host, verifiers, and replicators. All nodes/actors go through a defined lifecycle as shown in the diagram below.  Storage Node OnboardingIn order for a user to utilize this service, there are several steps that must be taken. A storage contributor needs to run a cli that will then evaluate the storage and disk space. Information will be collected........ Full article: https://blog.proximax.io/proximax-key-concept-storage/

Is there a similar system in ProximaX to the Supernode rewards system in NEM? i.e. how many XPX are required in order to set up a supernode, and what are the prerequisites?
Yes, but still in design phase. So amount isn't known yet. |

ProximaX Sirius Launches Blockchain Test NetworkBlockchain Test Network We are delighted to announce today that we have deployed 5 nodes for our blockchain testnet. This testnet is based on the NEM Catapult private chain which has been augmented and amended to suit the requirements of the Proximax Sirius platform. We have included in this testnet a Proof of Stake - PoS, which we adapted from the NXT project. We have decided to use PoS instead of Proof of Importance - PoI, because we believe that the PoS will work just as well. Further, PoI has shown to have little impact on the overall score and is closely related to PoS. Eventually the PoS will only be one part of the equation that forms the Proof of Conflation Aggregate - PoCa. Leading to our main network launch, the testnet shall be used as a staging environment so that all changes and amendments can be tested by everyone in the community thoroughly. In carrying out this testing, we hope that we can highlight and address all security issues before moving to the main network. At the same time, we believe that this will be monitored closely by the NEM core development team. In so doing, we hope that they will learn from our experience, thereby making the NEM mainnet a better solution.

MINISTRY OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - MOCD, UAE ADOPTS PROOF OF CONCEPT BY PROXIMAXProximaX deploys the ProximaX Sirius platform for MOCD within 2 weeks.GIBRALTAR Nov 13, 2018 (Blockchain Wire) GIBRALTAR / DUBAI / 14 NOVEMBER 2018 - The Ministry of Community Development of the United Arab Emirates announced today that they have rolled out a Proof of Concept – PoC, powered by the ProximaX Sirius blockchain platform solution. ProximaX and NEM Foundation jointly worked on the solution, where ProximaX provided its Sirius platform, integrated the Apostille, and completed the voting module for MOCD. The ProximaX Sirius platform consists of a Distributed File Management System, a work collaboration module, and an enterprise version of the NEM Catapult private chain solution. The deployment of the platform has now enabled MOCD to continue to add in more applications as they start to implement their blockchain initiatives. The platform can further be enhanced by adding more components into the Sirius platform, such as streaming and messaging, decentralised database, and permissioning solutions. According to Mr. Saeed Abdulla, Minister's Advisor at MOCD, “We are impressed with how the PoC was completed in 2 weeks, and we are excited that with this POC we can continue to develop and deploy solutions on the ProximaX Sirius platform. In the following months, we shall be looking at how we can improve and add more modules and applications into this platform solution. With this PoC we hope to be able to achieve our vision of becoming a blockchain-enabled government by the year 2021.” The Sirius platform is also service ready for cross-ministry or department integration, allowing other blockchain solutions to integrate with the platform through a permission-based API access. "The solution is designed for easy deployment and hence we completed this PoC deployment within 2 weeks. It is indeed a world-class production-quality enterprise solution." - Lon Wong, CEO, ProximaX. Lon adds that this is a very powerful solution because it has most of the fundamental elements of an enterprise class platform to deploy any solution using blockchain as an underlying immutable transaction record. Coupled with other components in the system, it also allows for data transaction. All data is encrypted by default, giving rise to a highly secure information and data record, and store. "The Memorandum of Understanding with MOCD is a demonstration of how the NEM.io foundation charter is instrumental in bringing ecosystem players together to provide the best of breed solution for the client. ProximaX has proven how easy it is to implement the NEM Catapult solution and moving forward from here, we should see more Catapult adoption in industries.” – Stephen Chia, Council Member of NEM.io Foundation and Head of SEA Operations. ProximaX, through the NEM foundation will commit and continue to support the MOCD into full deployment eventually. It is hoped that this solution will be utilised by other ministries and departments.

Cryptaur Announce Partnership with NEM and Proximax a the Gitex Future Starts EventSource: Cryptaur
Place/Date: DUBAI, UAE - November 5th, 2018
Contact: Anastasia VestfalCryptaur has signed a partnership agreement with renowned companies ProximaX and NEM following the first public demonstration of their new gaming platform, X-Game, in Dubai. Cryptaur, a decentralized ecosystem for P2P services, has signed a partnership with ProximaX and NEM following the first public demonstration of X-Game at GITEX Future Stars 2018 , held in Dubai on October 14th – 17th. The cooperation agreement will support Cryptaur promotion and localization in new regions which NEM and ProximaX are present in. ProximaX will be used within X-Game to host the ePassports of all users and to store the data of game characters and their elements. NEM, on the other hand, is used as a decentralized registry for Cryptaur users. Cryptaur, a decentralized ecosystem for P2P services, has signed a partnership with ProximaX and NEM following the first public demonstration of X-Game at GITEX Future Stars 2018 , held in Dubai on October 14th – 17th. The cooperation agreement will support Cryptaur promotion and localization in new regions which NEM and ProximaX are present in. ProximaX will be used within X-Game to host the ePassports of all users and to store the data of game characters and their elements. NEM, on the other hand, is used as a decentralized registry for Cryptaur users. The agreement was signed personally by Lon Wong, First President of NEM and Founder of ProximaX. For Cryptaur, the partnership comes at a time of exciting developments, having recently been recognized as an industry leader by the likes of CNN, Global Coin Report and ABM Crypto, and with the launch of various new platform extensions such as Lifewise and X-Game . X-Game is an innovative blockchain-based game that implements a unique P2E (Play-to-Earn) concept to reward users for their time and efforts. Users can earn Cryptaur’s native token, CPT, within the game which can then be withdrawn as CPT or fiat. X-Game aims to reinvent the gaming industry by rewarding users rather than relying on hidden P2W (Pay-to-Win) models that currently dominate the gaming sphere. F2P (Free-to-Play) is the most common gaming structure in which gaming companies do not charge users to play the game but rather rely on in-game advertisements and sales. These sales could include upgrades, special abilities, additional lives and special items. The popularity of F2P games is limited. F2P games are not truly free to play and instead rely on P2W (Pay-to-Win) purchases to ensure in-game success. Players spent $22 billion on in-game purchases in 2015 with this figure expected to reach $32 billion per year by 2020. Despite the popularity of this industry, users are unable to convert these earnings back into real money. Dimitri Buriak, CEO of Cryptaur: ‘ProximaX will be an important element in ensuring user confidence in the Cryptaur platform. In the near future, we plan to implement the storage of personal documents of our participants based on ProximaX, reliably protecting them with modern encryption algorithms.’The partnership signals an exciting expansion of the Cryptaur platform. 2018 has been a productive year for the Cryptaur team, who have been steadily overtaking their milestones throughout the year. X-Game follows the successful launch of credit cards by Fintech United Group in June earlier this year, and the launch of automatic KYC at Fintech United Group in August. About Cryptaur Founded in 2017, Cyprus-based Cryptaur increases efficiency by eliminating the middleman from a wide range of social and financial transactions. The project’s blockchain-based decentralized ecosystem supports peer-to-peer transactions, pay platforms, online gaming, and more.

ProximaX Tech - September 2018Full article: https://blog.proximax.io/proximax-tech-september-2018/The month of September had all of us focused on finalizing most of our applications as well as our core platform research. Most of our applications are either in UAT or Pre-Production Stage. Our core platform research has been ongoing, parallel with the development of its respective modules. Core Platform - Development StatusOur research has mostly focused on solidifying the approach, including the set of actors, modules, data flow, the token, and consensus. The scope of these all is just too big to fit into a single blog post so I will dedicate an entire post to share the high-level design, consensus schematics and a white paper on a separate update hopefully within the month of October. ProximaX Platform - SiriusThe codename for this platform that we are rolling out is called Sirius. Sirius is taken from the top ten brightest stars in our galaxy which clearly represents what we want to achieve; the initial rollout of what will define ProximaX that will shine the brightest of them all. The ecosystem of ProximaX revolves around the network actors we have. These actors are the nodes that work together to achieve the platform services that it'll offer.  Please see full article to read more about the platform...Application DevelopmentMost of the applications we've been developing are functionally done but almost all of them are being transitioned from NIS1 version to Catapult. Below, are some of the following key updates we have. ProxiDocs to ProxiSuiteProxiSuite is an office application based on NextCloud, OnlyOffice, and integrated with ProximaX technology. The office suite is fully capable of supporting real-time document management based on Microsoft / Open Office document files. The OnlyOffice extension backed by Proximax technology allows users to create and manage their documents using the decentralized storage and blockchain encryption mechanism. We may decide to rename ProxiSuite at a later date via a competition once there is clarity on the functions of the application.  ProxiBox ProxiNote ProxiForms - Framework and Middleware Ongoing Contribution ProjectsProximaX, as a company, is also contributing to the Catapult/NEM project. Below are some of the projects we are building as a contribution to NEM. Catapult Desktop WalletWe're building a ProximaX Catapult desktop wallet that can be used to manage our coins, in particular, the XPX coins. This is now ongoing and we have a few screens to show its progress.  Once done, we will contribute this to the public, so that everyone can use our powerful desktop wallet and extend its functionalities for their own use. The desktop wallet is not your typical wallet. We are building a framework and SDK service on top of it so that anyone can extend and use it for their own set of applications. Anyone can develop using our plugin framework on typescript/javascript and customize the wallet. Catapult SDKsWe're building 3 Catapult SDKs as our contribution to NEM Foundation technology, written in Golang, Python and Swift 4. This essentially means that once this is released, platform developers will be able to use the SDK to build their powerful applications on top of the Catapult blockchain. We'll be opening these SDKs to the public soon. https://github.com/proximax-storage/nem2-sdk-swifthttps://github.com/proximax-storage/nem2-sdk-pythonhttps://github.com/proximax-storage/nem2-sdk-goWrapping up SeptemberIn September, we are extremely happy that much of the core development has been progressing well. We have started building some design components pertinent to the overall ProximaX platform, as we have almost firmed up the development architecture. Below is a summary of what we've done for September: Storage SDK Java, Typescript/Javascript is 90% complete. Most of our applications right now are migrating from the use of NIS1 SDK to the new Storage SDK. PoC of Consensus Algorithms. Node Onboarding Process Building of Reputation System for Storage Nodes Continue building the Storage Layer Components Continue building the Streaming Layer Components Full article: https://blog.proximax.io/proximax-tech-september-2018/
