BABB pre-sale: Day one updatePlus: funding updates and cap increases. Day one updateThank you The first thing to say is a huge thank you to our amazing community. We faced sizeable Ethereum network congestion throughout the day with gas prices spiking and delayed transactions. Throughout it all, our Telegram community and social channels were lively, friendly and civil spaces — thank you for being awesome. Pre-sale participation statsAs of 10am GMT Tuesday 16 January, we have sold 7.2 billion BAX tokens out of the 10 billion allocation. Thank you and congratulations to everyone who has taken part in the pre-sale so far! Our goal for day one was to allow as many people as possible to take part in our pre-sale, and we’re very pleased to say almost 2000 people have participated so far — and it’s still rolling in! Announcing: day two capAs planned, we’ve had a 10 ETH individual cap for the first 24 hours of the sale, as an anti-whale policy to allow everyone a chance to participate. At 12pm GMT, Tuesday 16 January, we will remove the individual cap. We anticipate the remaining tokens will sell out quickly after we remove the cap. If you’re registered for the pre-sale and you haven’t yet bought your BAX, or you’ve bought less than 10 ETH of BAX and you want to buy more, we recommend you send your ETH before 12pm GMT Tuesday 16 January. You can send multiple transactions to the unique ETH address on your BABB account dashboard, as long as the transactions are at least 0.2 ETH and total no more than 10 ETH. After 12pm GMT you can send more, but please be aware we expect the remaining allocation to sell out quickly. We’re still accepting ETH transactions only; no wire transfers. If there are still tokens remaining at 12pm GMT Wednesday 17 January, we will open the pre-sale up to people wanting participate via wire transfer. https://medium.com/@BABB/babb-pre-sale-day-one-update-c6e340016bbd

Crypto Valley Association Issued its Own Code of ICOs ConductingIn an attempt to improve the quality of ICOs for companies launching this type of fundraising and for the participants, the Crypto Valley Association (CVA) based in Zug, released an official Code for conducting the ICOs. The code considers the moral and legal principles of safety during the initial coin offerings. The document is intended to guidance on moral, legal, and security practices and obligations in the ICO industry. The CVA president Oliver Bussman said that the code was developed in connection with the rapid development of blockchain and ICO space. “The Crypto Valley Association knows the best assets to the crypto space are the dynamically talented entrepreneurs that are our members. We want to be sure to provide these members and any new members of the CVA with an ICO-specific Code of Conduct as they embark on their ICO. It is an exciting process, a process that for many entrepreneurs and companies has the ability to change the landscape of the crypto field.” The Association of Crypto Valley is committed to remove some risks out of the ICOs practice and to improve the quality of the ICOs final products and services. In a press release, Bousman explained: “The rapid development of token launches has raised concerns around stability and security, and as a leader in this field, it’s [the CVA’s] responsibility to support the industry. The widespread adoption of this framework, combined with careful supportive regulation would bring stability to an exciting but uncertain trend in blockchain.” Descrow fully supports such initiatives — putting the ICOs into legal framework will give this field the opportunity to gain the trust of investors. However, the main thing we need to achieve this goal is to increase awareness for both startups and investors. ICO has yet to form its own community, and the tool of decentralized escrow will facilitate this process. https://medium.com/@Descrow/crypto-valley-association-issued-its-own-code-of-icos-conducting-7d3977ae194d

January NewsIn a few weeks we plan to have a closed pre-alpha for testing purposes. It will be a location shifting VPN service (without payments), accessible to the most active community members who have agreed to test it and share their feedback. With the pre-alpha we are aiming to collect network usage statistics, that would help us outline targets for future development. After the initial testing we’ll invite more people to use this version — check our Medium updates and Twitter. Once the pre-alpha is tested, we’ll announce approximate times of other releases. https://medium.com/mysterium-network/january-news-17072058b335

Welcome Dr. Marc Fleury to CyberMiles!Twenty years ago, the Open Source community was at a crossroad. The method of decentralized software production (aka Open Source collaboration), championed by a small number of ideology-driven developers, had produced very impressive results such as the Linux operating system, the Apache web server, the GCC compilers, and much more. Yet, the mainstream software powerhouses were still skeptical and even hostile to software decentralization (Microsoft called it a “cancer”, worse than scam). It was unclear how Open Source and decentralized software production can generate “real profits”. It had no “real business model” after all. It was very much like blockchain and cryptocurrency today. At the time, Marc Fleury was a fresh physics PhD from École Polytechnique, having spent a few years doing quantum research at MIT. He aimed at one of the most profitable software sector at the time, enterprise application servers, and started a new Open Source project called JBoss to disrupt the incumbent players. https://medium.com/cybermiles/welcome-dr-marc-fleury-to-cybermiles-a6dc43041823?from=timeline&isappinstalled=0

7 Reasons Why You Should Consider Holding Tradable Insurance Policies in Your Portfolio Tradable life insurance policies are insurance policies that policyholders can sell to third-party buyers who want to add life insurance policy exposure to their investment portfolio. Tradable life insurance policies can include endowment, whole life, universal life, key-man, and investment-linked insurance, among others. Most life insurance policyholders are actually not aware that their policy is actually an investment asset that can be sold to third-party buyers instead of simply surrendering their policies back to the insurer when they want to access their policy’s cash value. The market for tradable insurance policies is currently very illiquid, difficult to access and involves using several intermediaries in the process of buying and selling policies. Hence, this asset class has never managed to grow into an attractive market for investors. However, this is about to change as Singapore-based fintech startup fidentiaX is developing the world’s first marketplace for tradable life insurance policies. The new blockchain-powered platform will bring together policyholders and insurance policy buyers in a transparent, user-friendly and trustless trading environment. This will not only empower life insurance policyholders to sell their policies for a potentially higher cash value to third-party buyers instead of surrendering them but it will also attract investment managers, corporations, and private investors who want to gain exposure to this interesting alternative asset class. The most prominent features of this asset class are capital preservation, stable returns, a fixed tenure, potentially higher returns than comparable asset class, and zero correlation to stocks and bonds, among others. https://medium.com/@fidentiaX/7-reasons-why-you-should-consider-holding-tradable-insurance-policies-in-your-portfolio-a050f5b72114 |

DATARIUS – THE FIRST SOCIAL P2P CRYPTOBANK Datarius Cryptobank invites all to become participants of the first social p2p cryptobank. The p2p model is no longer innovative in fintech, however, the socialization of a financial company, and especially in the cryptocurrency segment, is a unique and completely new approach. Datarius main target is to demonstrate that fintech can be completely different. Datarius Team decided not to impose any services at all upon the users. Ecosystem will propose three listings with different trust levels – from the borrowers minimally verified by the system algorithms and to the completely transparent borrowers, thoroughly reviewed by the project’s Risk Department. Any interested user, at any time, can personally order one or another related service – in-depth computer evaluation, evaluation by project partners, evaluation by the Risk Department, evaluation by user-managers and so on. The results will be immediately available to all other users. Accordingly, one or another application can automatically shift from one listing to another in keeping with the wishes of the project participants, and not merely as preferred by the submitting user. Thus, Datarius provides its users with complete freedom of choice both in terms of actions and cost. There will be a very symbolic fee if users haven’t used the services of project. Moreover, this will allow partner projects, including blockchain, as well as simple professional users or trained users, to independently determine the cost of their services and to earn with the project, acting both as a project participant and as a consumer of its services. This model offers great opportunities to all market participants. Datarius Cryptobank has very ambitious targets for the expansion of the fintech market. It is the only one Cryptobank who declare the socialization of the fintech, full freedom of action and formation of service fee by users, declare and have the expertise in implementing instant money transfer systems such as Western Union, Moneygram, Transferwise. Datarius is the first project to declare the whole fintech market in a single window. Datarius Cryptobank will provide automatic package closing of offsetting orders (at the user’s request), as well as the assist at the closing to expedite the interaction. This means that if a number of offsetting orders meets the user’s requirements, such orders will be closed automatically, and if there are orders in the system that do not meet any criteria, they will be shown to the initiator and automatically recommended for acceptance. The whole system is aimed at making the interaction between users possible without involving the team core. Datarius reserves only the power to ensure the operation of the platform and to provide a wide range of related services. Thus, project plans to completely cancel out the shortcomings of traditional systems – lobbyism and the promotion of toxic bonds. Information about the project is fully open and can be found in their draft of White Paper. Every member of the team is an expert in his/her field. The entire Datarius core has no less than 10 years of continuous work experience within its field of competence. The core management team has experience in banking and financial spheres, including work with non-performing loans, experience in large international companies. The technical arm of the project is ultra-class professionals, enthused about their work and pioneers in the field of decentralized technologies. Datarius also has a strong support in legal issues. Datarius Cryptobank has opened the doors to participate in the project to all and has gone to the pre-ITO stage which will ends on 12:12 UTC 31.12.2017. A SoftCap of $125,000 has been reached within just a few hours from the start of the campaign, as stated by information now available on the official website of the project. The main round – ITO is scheduled for February 2018. You can follow the progress of pre-ITO in real time on the official https://coinsmoon.com/datarius-first-social-p2p-cryptobank/ |

Почему технические гиганты злоупотребляют своими пользователями?(Протоколы без платформ - часть 1 из 2) Независимо от того, целенаправленно ли он вредит мобильному опыту, жестким обновлениям и дополнениям к продажам, или перенаправлять пользователей в заранее отобранные партнерские компании, каждая крупная технологическая компания, как представляется, упреждает пользователя. На конкурентном рынке такого рода злоупотребление клиентами не должно происходить. Но прежде чем мы перейдем к вопросу, давайте определим проблему. Проблема. Каждая крупная потребительская интернет-компания активно работает, чтобы сделать пользовательский опыт еще хуже. И это не просто кабельные и телефонные компании, которые сразу приходят на ум, поскольку монопольные монстры, занимающиеся этим поведением, - все, кто виноват в интернет-фаворитах, таких как Reddit, Facebook и YouTube. На прошлой неделе мы попросили наших пользователей отправить несколько примеров тех компаний, которые плохо относятся к своим клиентам, и ответ был ошеломляющим. Взгляните на эти примеры из самых популярных сервисов и компаний, которые используются сегодня. Это не должно быть исчерпывающим списком компаний, которые активно враждебно относятся к пользователям, поскольку весь список, вероятно, может заполнить свою собственную книгу. Tech Giants Hate You: доказательство facebook У Facebook была (есть!) Полностью работающая, основанная на Интернете версия их платформы обмена сообщениями. Они активно отключены на мобильных устройствах для увеличения загрузки приложений. Зачем они это делают? Когда вы остаетесь в своей экосистеме приложений, они могут извлекать больше демографической информации (услуги определения местоположения, какие другие приложения вы используете и т. Д.) И доход от рекламы. https://lbry.io/news/why-do-tech-giants-abuse-their-users?utm_content=buffere162c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

(Protocols Not Platforms - Part 1 of 2) Whether it’s purposefully crippling mobile experiences, hard selling upgrades and add-ons, or shuttling users to pre-selected partner companies, every major tech company seems to proactively damage user experience. In a competitive market, this sort of customer abuse shouldn’t happen. But before we get to the why, let's define the problem. And it's not just the cable and phone companies that immediately spring to mind as monopolistic monsters engaging in this behavior - internet favorites like Reddit, Facebook, and YouTube are all guilty. Last week, we asked our users to send over some examples of tech companies treating their customers badly, and the response was overwhelming. Take a look at these examples from some of the most popular services and companies in use today. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of companies being actively hostile to users, as the whole list could probably fill its own book. https://lbry.io/news/why-do-tech-giants-abuse-their-users?utm_content=buffere162c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer |

Byteball asset registration and issuance under the hoodCustom assets have been first class citizens in Byteball since the launch of the live net. Few may know that blackbytes, a widely distributed currency for private payments, is the first asset issued in the Byteball network. While creating new assets requires some programming skills, Byteball Market makes it easy for anybody to issue custom Byteball assets. In general, assets can be created with certain characteristics: they can be made private, defined with different denominations or they can require cosigners or attestation when transferring etc. We call these as the asset definition. When creating an asset via Byteball Market, some of these features are not available yet In addition to the asset definition, Byteball Market allows the user the option to associate additional metadata to the asset such as decimal places, short name, ticker symbol, description, issuer name or contact information. Important to note, however, that most of these metadata are only stored in the database of Byteball Market and are only displayed in the asset directory within the Byteball Market website. Byteball Market performs a number of steps on behalf of the user when creating an asset for a small fee since these steps require to post permanent and immutable data in the Byteball database. Once the user fills in the asset order form, the process starts with a payment cycle: the user has to transfer the fee in order for the asset creation steps to start. https://medium.com/@byteball.market/byteball-asset-registration-and-issuance-under-the-hood-c030ea6739ac

Get to know closer, what Service AIDA is offering into the market — Solution.In the process of development and world globalization, humanity has become a hostage of intermediaries in all spheres of trade and services. Mediation has become a huge layer between producers and customers. The involvement of one or more intermediaries in the chain increases the final cost and risks. Instead of improving product quality and productivity, the factories are distracted by sales, marketing, communication with the customer and delivery. Service companies in the field of logistics and warehousing of goods face the same problems. There are no good universal tools for managing enterprise resources and a sufficient number of orders. There is no planning option. The incoming information is very often distorted and not relevant. Corruption has become another obstacle to the full development of the private and public sectors. Without software to automate business processes, it is not possible to plan and analyze activities qualitatively, to prevent costs and to ensure sufficient data security. And if there is, it is not cheap. There is almost no confidence in anything today. But over time, everything changes and with the advent of Blockchain technology, the process of eliminating intermediaries has accelerated. There is ability to solve the problems of all participants in the supply process. It consists in providing tools that will work as a single organism. Our team took responsibility, change the usual sales pattern, developing a service that will gradually eliminate all the above problems. https://medium.com/@aidaservice/get-to-know-closer-what-service-aida-is-offering-into-the-market-solution-58618b9d767a
