[ANN] [ZAP] Zap.org - Decentralized Data/Oracle Marketplace for Smart Contracts

[ben_btc]

For some reason I'm unable to quote the poster above, it said that post was deleted but I refreshed the page 10 times and it was there every time lol.
You got it all wrong, zap is not a blockchain to create any platform on it, LISK, NEO and Ξ are not hosting any content, they just add blocks and process transactions. even zap is hosted on a different server, transactions are handled by smart contract. this is something like nexus.social. I registered an account and I was talking to myself for an hour. lol

Zap is certainly not a blockchain but it is a platform that helps extend the list of potential use cases for smart contracts/dapps, building for Ethereum first with other smart contract platforms/blockchains to follow after.

After reading the the op, I would like to understand something and I am sorry because I am not someone who is understand the technicalities behind block chain projects. I understand that Zap is a store but my confusion is the oracle, what is oracle and what is it's relationship between selling and buying of it on the Zap store because this part seems to be confusing me.

Oracles are data feeds that are connected to smart contracts. What we are providing is an open marketplace of data that is also readily converted into oracles. Essentially we are providing an easy to use method of integrating outside data into smart contracts.

The Founder of Zap, Nick Spanos, was a big player in the Dotcom Era, amassing over 12k domains.. He created the precursor of Uber called LiveryCab. He had created an app when IPhones first launched but the technology was ahead of its time. He was one of the first Bitcoin adopters, seeing its potential when people were laughing at the concept and was on Netflix Documentary Banking on Bitcoin.
This guy is truly a visionary and he’s creating a platform for the next logical step of the decentralized world… Bridging the Gap between Real world Data and Smart Contracts… Oraclization

I’m watching what he’s doing because time and time again he’s proven his forward thinking ability. THE ORACLE OF MATTITUCK!
And he has behind him some of the greatest minds in the blockchain space! The ZAP TEAM IS for real! I believe in this vision.

Was reading the white paper on the popular upcoming ICO “Mercury Protocol”.. There white Paper reads... “In order to facilitate communication, we will use oracles... While we plan to integrate Oracles into the protocol in the future, the specific implementation is yet to be determined” I posted this because it goes to show that there is a Massive NEED for an efficient Oracle Marketplace where developers can purchase and receive Oraclized Data.. Found it interesting that the one limiting factor of this Company could be solved with the Zap Market Place.. who knows what other ideas can spawn from the Democratization of Data!

Appreciate it Valestostoma! We hope to facilitate more development from others with our marketplace.
