Hello, I am looking to be hired for a role with any startup, project, or related group. I have much experience with technical writing, business development, legal advisory, and technological advisory. I also have much experience in trading along with technical analysis. I am currently running an early stage startup in which I have written over 17 pages explaining the legal and technological concepts of our platform. While we are at an early stage and not currently creating enough income to pay a suitable salary, I am pursuing an online position that will empower me with the free time needed to work on my startup. Below you will find examples of written work I have created showcasing my knowledge of the concepts and writing ability. I am also willing to take work as a freelancer or work through bounties and long as the payment is in USD or a tradable cryptocurrency with reasonable liquidity.

3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the Cosmos framework in a place right now to start developing a blockchain? on: February 20, 2019, 03:45:21 AM
A project that I know of (ShareRing) already started building their blockchain using Cosmos/Tendermint, but it's still very early. They said it is still in beta last time I checked and they've been doing commit/upgrade by themselves. So probably, Cosmos is not production ready but you can start using it and fix the bugs by yourself.

But according to Cosmos blog update, they'll roll out mainnet soon, so I assume it has become better. Why don't you try and make a testnet first?

We would make sure it works before deploying the main network, but we want to come to a definitive decision on what framework to use very soon.

You can look https://skynet.co/
But mainet is not launched yet
whatever blockchain you will like choose you can integrate with https://skynet.co/ then
Don't know about Cosmos there is also China Bytom

Really only interested in Cosmos for this discussion, thanks though!

Hey, so my startup is trying to build a platform called Divistock, which aims to be the ultimate platform for the tokenization of financial assets. We want our own independent network to be a public decentralized one, but at the same time, it has to be for Divistock's specific use case. We are building architecture right now and are trying to decide a network/framework to build our network from. I came across a project called Cosmos, which seems like it could be perfect. Their framework allows developers to build independent networks for their specific use cases, both public and private. But is it in a state now that we can start building Divistock with it? I know that they want to connect the networks on their platform and create "the internet of blockchains" and they haven't completed that part yet, but we don't need that at all. All we need is the framework to build our independent network with. So is its framework developed enough to do so?

What is your background in? What work have you done besides the white paper and an idea?

Sorry for late reply, I guess I btctalk didn't email me. I am an avid cryptocurrency trader and have studied blockchain technology as well as business concepts for the past couple of years. Besides writing the 17-page whitepaper I have also marketed the entire startup and brought on 3 other partners making us a team of four.
8  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can you secure a sidechain with it's main chain? EDIT: Ardor does this. on: February 01, 2019, 07:21:46 AM
I don’t want to use or clone Ardor, I was just showing them as an example that it’s possible to secure a side chain from the main chain. I actually want to side chain Stellar.

To sum it up, it depends 100% on the main chain technology, and if it can implement this.

You can create a side chain of ANY coin, if you plan to provide the nodes & hashing power to maintain it.

If you want to transfer that burden to the main chain, there needs to be some way for you to tell the main chain nodes to validate your sidechain transactions, and mine the blocks that contain these transactions for you.
Not every coin has the technology for this, and if it does, you need to figure out how to achieve it (like ardors centralised way to broadcast your child chain to the nodes).

Do you (or anyone else) think that that would be a good solution? I thought of ways to do that but would it be easier just to clone our own, completely independent chain and then just figure out great incentives for nodes? Also does merge mining require a 2 way peg?
9  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can you secure a sidechain with it's main chain? EDIT: Ardor does this. on: February 01, 2019, 07:11:18 AM
EDIT: I was doing more research and I read more about Ardor, in which I saw that Ardor claims that their child chains ARE secured by the main chain and that those who create child-chains do not have to worry about security. How does that work?

I looked up ardor, searched around for a few minutes.

1. How are you going to make this child chain? I only found information which says "Contact Jerulida, and file an application."
That sounds hilariously centralised, but it makes sense because :

2. Your child chain is only some sort of partially mirrored chain on the main chain. When a transaction happens in your child chain, it's technically validated by main chain nodes. Your blocks are blocks created on the main chain, and so on.
You can even transact coins between different child chains.

You can read : https://www.jelurida.com/child-chains-and-side-chains

So to sum it up, if you only want your own blockchain, to be able to create your own transactions, peg the coin value to another one, and not worry about node security, sure, you can make a child chain of this ardor. From what I read, your child chain is secure because ardor nodes keep the utxo and the blockchain of your child chain, but it gets pruned by default after n blocka, unless the node wants to keep the full history of your child chain on purpose.

51% attacks are reduced because your child chain blocks belong to the main chain. All the nodes are not technically just holding txes for you, but for every child chain.

The weird concept is how centralised this is.. you can't create a child chain unless you ask jerulida, and they create the sidechain for you, and have the nodes start storing your txes. I couldnt find anything about the "how" that works. But thats as far as I'm willing to go.

I don’t want to use or clone Ardor, I was just showing them as an example that it’s possible to secure a side chain from the main chain. I actually want to side chain Stellar.
10  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can you secure a sidechain with it's main chain? on: February 01, 2019, 06:03:45 AM

What you could also do is to let the main chain nodes validate the newest blocks of the sidechain without requiring to store or validate them entirely. But in this case you sacrifice some of the scalability and independence advantages. And, obviously, this can only be done if the feature is supported by the main chain protocol.



Would this work with the main chain such as Stellar? Also could this be controlled to the point in which you could gradually move away from the main chain once you gain enough securing power to secure your own network? Like, say design the smart contracts on your front-end platform so that the transactions that go through them are validated with the main chain?

Hey so I am researching sidechains, I see how useful they can be for new coins that want to remain independent but still draw power from an already established network, but one problem I saw is that "Sidechains are responsible for securing their own network". Does this mean that it's impossible for a side chain to use the securing power of it's main chain to secure itself and it's transactions or is there a way around this?

Hey there. I did thought about the same thing. It should not be like that. look at my tweet to @TruthCoin

https://twitter.com/hosseamin/status/1090459542364848133

It should not or is not? Are you saying that it should be changed or that sidechains are not like that inherently?

I'm saying re-org structure made by @truthcoin at twitter is not a necessity.
Oh I see, interesting.
13  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can you secure a sidechain with it's main chain? on: January 30, 2019, 05:42:41 AM
Your side chain needs enough nodes and hashing power to counter 51% attacks.

You're pegging your side-chain coin value to the main-chain, but your transactions, blockchain, basically everything becomes independent. It's obvious that in the case someone gets control over 51% of the nodes or hashing power of your chain, they could pick transactions to double spend, or through a sybil attack if they control too many nodes. Your problems are exactly the same of every other chain, with only 2 differences :

1. The initial coins you used to create the side-chain are what you would hypothetically call your "genesis block".
2. You can exchange those coins to main-chain coins at the designed rate when you distribute your side-chain coins.

So there really is no way to use the main chain that a side chain would be linked to secure it's transactions? Not at all?

Whether this will be ICO or STO? Or  you are creating on it's own ?
Will you charge subscription fees from the user ?  How you are going to earn/benefitted from project?

We plan for our users to be able to create custom STO platforms for their assets but Divistock will be holding an ICO for it's main currency. No subscription fees, just a transaction fee (on top of the ones that are used to secure the blockchain) that will be sent to a liquidity wallet as well as other fees that may be assigned to parts of Divistock's various features. Those fees are how we will earn profit off of Divistock.
