[ANN] UBIC:The cryptocurrency providing UBI for the masses using the E-Passport

[ubicorn]

@uboid, @freepellent: thank you!!
@uboid I have linked your block explorer in the announcement post.
I am still looking for contributors to build a mobile app and improve the core source code, you are welcome.

Explorer blockchain 13793. My client height 6890?

[uboid]

I am in for the android mobile app!

Explorer blockchain 13793. My client height 6890?

Some times it deadlocks when it is syncing from several nodes, it is a known issue I am working on.
The simple workaround is to restart UBIC using

Code:

/etc/init.d/ubic restart

The use of NFC enabled chip passport of awesome ideas, yet it might also be a big no no, since details and information or identity of an investor might be at risk if the system gets compromise. what are your plans about this matter?

There are no personal information published on the blockchain, in the current and future core implementation no personal information are extracted from the passport. Only the digital signature, the signed hash as well as the Document signing certificate are recovered.
What will be published on the Blockchain is:
 - The hash (checksum) of the chip content (name, lastname, passport number, jpeg picture of your face...)
 - The hash of the document signing certificate
 - A non-transferable proof of signature knowledge, not the signature itself

As a consequence only a government can know what UBI address belongs to who.
Non-UBI receiving remain completely anonymous.

Where all peers gone?

[ubicorn]

There should be at least 3 peers (https://github.com/UBIC-repo/node-list/blob/master/nodes)

Code:

195.154.106.30
198.245.61.118
89.249.64.172

You can use this command to add some manually:

Code:

ubic add-peer <ip address>

[ubicorn]

Checking peers is done through this command:

Code:

ubic peers

How will people know that more information is not read off the chip than what is necessary? Do people have a guarantee that you will not ready any PI data? With GDPR imminent this becomes a very important discussion.

They can read the source code and compile from it.

So the goal of UBIC is replacing the old version of passport that still has many security issues.
By providing more secure system on the passport, that will give extra protection for everyone and minimize the possibilities of a fakes passport.

How do you get to become Sr Member and not undestand to read white paper?

It uses the E-passport to distribute a UBI and defeat a sybil attack. E-passports are very secure!

If no PI data being stored on the blockchain, how is network aware of the passport country of origin?

Using the Document Signing Certificate, they are associated to a country.
You can also not register the same passport multiple times because the signed hash that is published is unique identifier.

As promised I just released my block explorer for UBIC, it's still in a very early stage. The url is: https://ubic.network

Well done!

[freepellent]

there is this app ReadID-NFC passport reader. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.innovalor.nfciddocshowcase.
I tried it and read the data on my passport chip. There is a lot of data. I can see on the block explorer only one passport registered. And honestly I was too scared to scan passport chip data in an online regime, I think the idea of this project to use nfc passport chip data is excellent. However, I would feel more secure to generate from the passport chip data the required key or seed in an offline mode.  Then enter it to create my unique UBIC wallet. Hope there is a way.

this is a very important project because now in the crypt there is an increasing need to confirm the wildness of the owner of the  wallet, I would invest in this project ..
