Qtum one step closer to mass adoption after point-of-sale deal with Pundi X



TUM Tokens can be used to pay for goods in shops across the world
Qtum, the first successful Proof-of-Stake blockchain, is a big step closer to mass adoption after striking a deal that will allow people to use QTUM tokens to pay for goods in shops across the world.
Qtum will soon be a household name, appearing on the first 4,000 point-of-sale devices that are about to be shipped across the world by Pundi X – a cryptocurrency solutions provider for retail stores.
The Point-Of-Sale devices will be delivered to retailers in countries including Korea, Japan, Singapore and Switzerland.
“Pundi X has the potential to deliver the final nudge that opens the floodgates to mass adoption of QTUM,” Said Patrick Dai, CEO and founder of Qtum.
“It’s time that we offered individuals the option to pick between fiat and crypto when ordering a coffee or purchasing goods. It’s fantastic to be working with Pundi X to give consumers this choice.”

The Pundi X device is a game-changer in retail, enabling both merchants and consumers to do cryptocurrency-to-fiat or fiat-to-cryptocurrency transactions easily – the devices interface directly with the blockchain. Few solutions even come close to mirroring the potential that such a device has in the retail arena for pushing mainstream adoption.

The Pundi X project is the successor to Pundi-Pundi, one of Indonesia’s most prominent innovators in cashless QR code payments.
Qtum already has over 7,000 nodes across the planet, making it one of the world’s most decentralized blockchains.

We heard your confusion about spoons, timelines, parallel developments and milestones and we’ve done our best to address them here. The visual roadmap above is an overview of what we are building and our progress to date. We’ve been through many iterations of this roadmap graphic since embarking on the quest for clearer communications in response to your feedback.

It is important to note that in the graphic, boxes next to each other do not signify milestones being released simultaneously. Roadmap tracks and milestones are being built in parallel and not necessarily in sequence — and of course, in reality, tracks intersect and milestones interact.

We’ll be updating this roadmap as development progresses, milestones are achieved and new features are introduced to the OMG Network. We will maintain a roadmap repository on Github as well, that developers and others who think in terms of actual workflow may find more useful.

We are continuously evaluating the relative priorities of the milestones. Milestones that are more than one release ahead may be subject to change and as new information becomes available, priorities may also shift. It’s a dynamic, evolving process. https://blog.omisego.network/omisego-roadmap-update-94819e20ada2

Kin Blockchain — Taking Fate Into Our Own Hands https://medium.com/kinfoundation/kin-blockchain-taking-fate-into-our-own-hands-f5bdfa759502

Kin’s mission is not simply to make the digital world better, but to actually make it good. What would this look like? It would be a place that is fair, transparent, accessible, and that privileges co-creation and experience, over competition and possession. This is not just a fundamental shift in how we think about our digital lives, but also in how we imagine cryptocurrencies will be used.

Rather than seeing crypto as an investment vehicle, or something to be held, we are creating a new model in which crypto is something to be used as much and as frequently as possible. That means rethinking how the digital world is built — which is why creating the right blockchain strategy is so important to achieving our goals. Current blockchains aren’t set up to handle the level of transactions we are working to create, so we’ve decided to take things into our own hands and build our own.

When I think of where we started and where we are now, I couldn’t have predicted the decisions that have moved down this path to date. It’s like we are in the blockchain jungle trying to find our way through a thick forest without a compass or map. Since no one has tread this path before, there is no one to follow. We need to move step by step, learn as we go, and adapt to the challenges that we find along the way. This is exactly what we have done over the past several months.

Symbiotic Network: The Beginning



Cindicator’s initiative
Cindicator is creating a symbiotic network of tokenised startups and network organisations. It is a living rhizome, a new type of intelligence that unites all DAOs during a historical moment of transition from one era to another. This is a new system for the collective management of the ecosystem’s shared resources. This is a model for effective decision-making with Hybrid Intelligence.

The Cindicator Symbiotic Network is a step in the evolutionary development of human society. Its manifestation is aimed at solving the major issues of human civilisation through antifragile, synergetic cooperation, in order to improve the quality of life on Earth, expand into space, and create orderly decentralised rhizomes defined by mathematical beauty.

We are facilitating a network of partners and preparing for synergies with teams of a new type — tokenised companies. The network ideology is ingrained in the DNA of these organisations. They understand the importance of uniting and sharing resources and knowledge, which is essential to operating in today’s world.

Chances are you have a social media account or know someone that does. As social media accounts grow in popularity and, among certain people, in necessity, so, too, do questions about personal privacy within the framework of using these social media platforms. Whether it’s information about your relationship, your children, travel plans, or even basic personal interests, there are a lot of things that we are willingly sharing with the world that might just end up posing problems from us and the people we care about.

There are many reasons that people choose to have private accounts. These include not wanting to come across as being judgmental, not letting others know who follows you, and maybe even feeling insecure. Ultimately, it is the user’s choice whether to have his or her account be public or private. It’s important to know, though, that having a private account isn’t a guarantee that unauthorized people won’t be able it to access it. And if you choose to have a public account, you should be smart so as not to jeopardize, say, your job.

Probably one of the most obvious tips when it comes to privacy is to watch what you post if you have children or work with them. A father was recently scouting out preschools for his child and remembered from a public post years ago that a quite opinionated woman mentioned that she worked at this school. Turns out, she still does, and, though she no longer mentions it on her personal page, she does include quite provocative photos of herself that probably wouldn’t make any parent feel particularly comfortable about her teaching their young children. Somehow, this has slipped through the school’s filter for now. In any case, that father chose to go against the school and actually ended up using the more appropriate public social media profile from another school’s teacher as guidance in making the choice he did.

There have also been instances of people’s posts being reposted by others and those other people ending up getting money from the posts. The original poster, who should, in theory, have rights to what was posted, walks away with nothing. It seems so wrong.

Monoreto is a social network that wants to reward users posters for their original content. This is a social network where users pay to like the posts that they really like and help boost the creators of original content and reward them in the process. Users who pay to give likes also move up in the feed. To find out more about this user-driven social media network, go to www.monoreto.com.

Sunday reading. How Waves smart contracts will be working in Tradingene platform



The first iteration of Waves smart contracts just has been activated on Waves’ TestNet. It has been announced at Friday, 04th of May.
Waves’ initial release will allow the community to test non-Turing complete contracts, which will enable various account controls and other functionality.
After a series of high-profile problems with Ethereum’s smart contracts, Waves has taken a carefully-considered approach to implementation, with phased rollout, predictable computational overheads and fixed fees.
Only when these features have been thoroughly tested and activated on the main net will fully Turing-complete contracts follow.
Smart contract functionality will be activated in May, pending approval of the new code by miners under the Waves Feature Activation Protocol.
Tradingene, the new ready-to-use Blockchain-based platform that allows investing in trading algorithms, will be one of the first projects to implement Waves’ smart contracts.
Tradingene smart contracts effectively manage the relationship between creators and investors throughout the auction process and the investment period. The contracts also allow TNG token holders and algorithm creators to agree upon success fees and other criteria of auctioned algorithms.

AX1 explained — The future of large scale crypto mining



We wanted to do something more than launch just another token that distributed mined coins. Instead, we wanted that mining pool to actually help create long-term capital value for the token itself.

Mining Adaptability
Many current mining operations spend huge amounts of money on hardware, in many cases that hardware is not very adaptable between coins. We wanted to avoid this as far as possible as we would rather mine coins more likely to increase in value than less likely to increase in value for the same net cost. The ability (within the obvious constraints of current technological possibility) to switch our rigs from mining one coin to another at short notice as directed by the Strategic Advisory Committee is a key consideration in our overall plan.

Avoiding over-concentration risk
This factor is closely connected to mining adaptability. When analysing many of the current miningoperations that have been established for some time, we observed that in many cases the operationswere too focused on one particular coin. We wanted to avoid this and instead mine several coins, fromday one.. The layout of our data centre building lends itself very well to this as we can easily demarcateour miners by coin, even down to individual bays. With planning permission already approved for a second site, AX1 will build an additional structure that will also facilitate the above.

Research & Development
Concentrating absolutely all resources on today’s mining operation only makes sense in a totally static mining space: one in which coins never deplete and the difficulty of mining them never increases. We know, of course, that no such mining space actually exists. We also know that in order for our token to be the best token in this category, we will need to constantly innovate and adapt our operation to keep up with both new technology and the dynamics of what coins to mine. To this end we are placing a major focus on R&D so that we can be sure we are the leaders when it comes to finding new avenues of profit.

Operational Scalability
The whole project has been designed from inception with scalability in mind. The target amount to commence work on the second site in England is $10 million and when this amount is reached, work will commence on the second site and funds deployed to fit out this custom built mining centre. Planning permission has already been approved for the second site. If the crowdsale raises more than can be deployed on these two sites, the issuer already has commitment for use of space in an existing operation in Canada and is in discussion over precise terms — this will be operationally integrated with, and controlled by, the base site in Manchester.

The Opportunity
As time has passed, more and more people have got involved in crypto mining. With increasing numbers of miners attempting to solve the problems each day, it would follow that the hashes of blocks are being calculated at increasingly faster rates. To avoid things spinning out of control, the community agrees to increase the difficulty of the problem miners need to solve to ensure the consistency of the block generation. Due to the complexity of the problems, it is now almost impossible to mine profitably from home using standard computer equipment. However, there is still a great deal of profit to be made for those who can access the right equipment, suitably managed, cooled and administered. People looking to mine cryptocurrencies in the near future are likely to be much more successful if they have access to a centralised mining pool that is built to withstand this increasing complexity of the block solution.

With AX1, we are offering token holders thechance to participate in a managed mining operation and enjoy capital appreciation via contractually guaranteed economic rights in the portfolio of mined coins. After deduction of any costs and liabilities incurred by the issuer, at least fifty percent of the value of the mined coins will be placed in a segregated account in order to assetback the AX1 Tokens. This represents a real, contractual, substantive and auditable value guarantee and is a key strength of this offer in addition to the other attributes of the AX1 Tokens discussed elsewhere. Under this arrangement, the Issuer will have NO further entitlement to withdraw, or otherwise use for any purpose of the issuer, ANY of the assets of this segregated account: its value therefore provides a solid basis for the perpetual assetbacking of the AX1 token and peace of mind to AX1 token holders that the Tokens are true and verifiable store of value. The assets held in the segregated account, though off limits to the Issuer will not just languish, however, but continue to be advised upon by the Investment Advisory committee and therefore could be deployed in Proof of Stake activities and or by being traded as part of exchange operations to the increased value of the token holders. The segregated account will even be audited on a quarterly basis to provide yet more confidence to token holders with the results posted onto our online portal for review. https://medium.com/@support_98049/ax1-explained-the-future-of-large-scale-crypto-mining-de78758364ec
