Lampix: One of Blockchain’s Buried Treasures

Lampix is a hidden treasure buried deep within the confines of the cryptospace. Usually to be buried you’d have a token with no working product or a token that has no legitimate purpose other than to be a money grab riding off bitcoin’s coattails. An example of such a token is PAC coin, a cryptocurrency whose website boils down to a hastily-modified e-commerce template (note the shopping cart in the top right corner).

The Company Behind Voxelus.com and Cryptocurrency Voxels (VOX) Rebrands to Address Bolder Vision and Broader Opportunity in Cloud VR Gaming, Developing New Game to Showcase Infrastructure

SAN FRANCISCO, UNITED STATES AND BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA – JANUARY 15, 2018 – Voxelus Studios, Inc., creator of Voxelus.com, the world’s leading virtual reality world builder and marketplace, and the cryptocurrency Voxels (VOX), announced the expansion of the company to embrace broader opportunities in VR and Crypto by starting R&D to build a cloud VR gaming infrastructure utilizing blockchain-enabled VR rendering.  Related to this expanded, bolder vision, the company is rebranding to RevolutionVR, Inc. and Voxels tokens will soon become RevolutionVR (RVR) tokens to reflect their utilization in games and products beyond the Voxelus platform. The Voxel will be rebranded to the RVR token in the following months after the company rebrand and after work with exchanges and partners is completed, the ticker will change from $VOX to $RVR and when this is in effect it will be announced in a following press release.  The company also announced the forthcoming release of its new VR game, Xtraction Royale, to showcase the capabilities of the RevolutionVR infrastructure.

RevolutionVR’s mission is to bring VR gaming to players all over the world without requiring each to have a high-end computer in the home – necessary today to deliver great immersive experiences over headsets and related gear – but expensive and used infrequently.  With today’s game designers pushing the boundaries to deliver ever-more compelling gaming experiences, even the most powerful home computers can struggle with rendering VR.

RevolutionVR and the RVR token aims to address gamers PC expense and gameplay inefficiency through cloud gaming infrastructure allowing VR rendering to be handled in the cloud via the blockchain.  RevolutionVR graphics servers will render VR utilizing cloud connected powerful computers that are distributed around the world creating an accessible service to a broader base of consumers.  As a result of delivering VR games through the RevolutionVR cloud streaming infrastructure, gamers will be able to experience advanced gameplay on VR headsets and related gear that will be less expensive, portable, and more powerful than the home PC-tethered solutions required today.

To demonstrate the power and capabilities of the RevolutionVR infrastructure, the company is developing Xtraction Royale, its new VR game. Xtraction Royale is an upcoming Battle Royale virtual reality experience developed using the award winning Unreal Engine 4 that will place you against other players in a fight to escape an island and win RVR Tokens.  Xtraction Royale is aimed to be released as a Steam Early Access game for Windows PCs compatible with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR headsets during 2018. Expecting a 1.0 final release by early 2019.

“In order for high quality immersive VR experiences to be accessible to anyone, anywhere rendering and compute technology must be cloud-based and integrated with responsive, dynamic streaming solutions to make the economics practical for both creators and consumers,” said Martin Repetto, CEO of RevolutionVR, Inc.  “As a VR gaming technology company we understand that only by utilizing the blockchain and expanding the application of our Voxel token, now to become the RVR token, can we solve the VR game industry’s biggest technology challenges.”

RevolutionVR’s development and implementation of its VR gaming infrastructure will be supported by a partnership with the VideoCoin Network, a blockchain-powered global infrastructure for the encoding, storage, and distribution of video. The VideoCoin Network and its token, the VideoCoin (VID), were recently announced and are supported by many of the biggest names in crypto and entertainment.

RevolutionVR will work closely with the architects of the VideoCoin Network in the evolution of RVR as a useful proof of work token. “The blockchain is the new architecture of cloud computing.  It is enabling exciting new applications and capabilities making incredibly efficient use of these global computational resources,” said Halsey Minor, majority shareholder of RevolutionVR and head of the VideoCoin Network.  “Together, the VideoCoin Network and RevolutionVR are writing the next chapter of entertainment and media. For me this is more exciting than the days when we dreamed the future of corporate computing as we launched salesforce.com.”

Adel: Investor perspective

One of the most exciting projects that launched on the NXT blockchain in 2017 was Adel.

Adel is an idea incubator that focuses mainly on blockchain projects. Submitting ideas and the execution of these projects are delegated to the Adel Members with the Adel core team supervising the end to end process.

An Adel member is a stakeholder who holds at least 64000 ADL coins (32000 if they participated in ICO). This allows the member to have access to all the community modules (eg. the collaboration module), participate to the project incubation and also submit own ideas.

The ICO was launched on May 1st and ended on the 31st of May 2017 collecting 442.5 BTC. Adel was the first KYC/AML/CTF (Know Your Customer, Anti-money Laundering, and Counter Terrorism Financing) compliant ICO in the world.

The result was below the minimum target of 900BTC so the members had to vote for keeping the project alive or if the collected BTC had to be returned to the investors. Members voted to go on with the project and Adel started its plan of developing the collaboration modules and follow their defined roadmap:

[ANN] PXS token split

We have been receiving numerous request from our participants to split the tokens into smaller fractions, the (false) rationale behind is because the current token price is high.

Mathematically it has no difference whether the token is priced 2.736USD or 0.002736USD as the difference in total supply means the total market cap is the same. However, after receiving multiple requests and evaluating the token economy, we have decided to make the split. After the split, a token will be worth 0.002736 as of today’s ETH price (13/01/2018).

As we perform the token split, for every PXS token that you own, you will get another 999 tokens via airdrop. Please keep your PXS in a wallet which you have ownership of the private key, including but not limited to, MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, Trezor device and others so that you can safely receive the airdrops.

The split will happen anytime after ICO and no latter than 1st March, likely sooner than later. Exchange trading will commence a few days after the split.

Note: Request for comment articles are reviewed by Pundi X and will only be activated once it enters “ANN=Announcements” phase.

Mike’s weekly message to QUOINE community (January 13, 2018)

With cryptocurrencies gaining more popularity and taking the financial world by storm, we are witnessing an explosion in customer signups on both QUOINEX and QRYPTOS. The demand in the industry has been too overwhelming to the point that many exchanges are turning away new customers.

However, we feel it is our fiduciary responsibility to continue to accept customer registration while scaling our customer support. We are doing our best to speed up the process without compromising security and safety.

AELF Progress Report

Hi everyone, here is our first progress report, thank you for your support in aelf!



https://medium.com/@aelfblockchain/aelf-progress-report-5ed02058bef2

The history of BitBoost team.

The BitBoost team has been working together for years on their blockchain marketplace. We are not talking about a rush-for-the-ICO half-baked idea, but a practical application born of the innovative thinking of some real pioneers, who started coding on the blockchain as far back as spring 2014. They saw a need, and an opportunity. Three years later, The Block is a reality and moving towards beta testing.

The initial BitBoost team first met within the community of the blockchain platform NXT, and they built their first marketplace – NXT FreeMarket, a downloadable, functional shopping app on the NXT blockchain. This project was started by Paul Mahone, our CEO, and Andrew Lekar, who was involved in NXT blockchain from the beginning. In the following video, you can watch Paul introducing this app in Amsterdam in 2016.

However, the limitations of the NXT blockchain for a marketplace quickly became apparent and the user base was limited from the outset. Seeing these issues as roadblocks to future success, the team decided to move to the Ethereum blockchain in the summer of 2016. At this time they were joined by Samuele Maran, who was in charge of initial marketing and business operations. These three are the founders of the BitBoost project.

Shortly after, several more people joined to help to craft The Block. Maksim Sergeev started working on the user interface early this year, as the founders recognized the non-technical challenges of a decentralized marketplace to user adoption, such as the requirement to localize The Block in many different languages and to tailor and adapt it for the needs of widely varying legal jurisdictions. The team also incorporated developers to craft mobile apps, such as Riccardo Scanavacca for iOS, and Gianluigi Davassi. BitBoost believes that mobile e-commerce has a strong future, so the plan is to make The Block mobile friendly from the very beginning, allowing people from both mature and developing markets to use the app on their smart phones.

As a result, we have been developing The Block app, in its current Ethereum form, for more than one year. Specifically, we have expended more than 7 months and 222 days crafting the code. You are welcome to join us for beta testing!

As the application was going through development, the team decided to start building a business around it. BitBoost started researching markets and business models (read more about this in our white paper). The team expanded to include people from digital business and marketing, to form the backbone for a fundamentally sound company. Alessandro Tozzi, from Boston Entrepreneurship Center, and Alvaro Rodriguez, in charge of marketing and communications, were added. Yessin Schiegg, a seasoned financial and blockchain expert, joined as an advisor at the same time. Finally, we became officially registered as a company in Zug, also known as Crypto Valley, in May 2017.

Now, BitBoost is facing a last sprint towards launching at the end of 2017. A token sale to fund The Block will be announced this summer, but unlike the vast majority of these events, BitBoost is not asking for money based solely on an idea. Tokens will be sold to use on an existing platform, as soon as we go live. You will have less time to wait before you can actually use them.

The BitBoost team is confident that 2018 will be a great year. With a running app, and many ideas for more features to implement, you will see The Block expand within the e-commerce and digital platform markets, redefining services through the blockchain and decentralization. Updates will come soon. Stay tuned!
