Harmony Partners with Contentos for the Future of Blockchain https://medium.com/blockchain-positive/harmony-partners-with-contentos-for-the-future-of-blockchain-907241242283

This was a really huge partnership announcement from the harmony back in June.
Contentos and harmony can really fit good together but do you what was the nature of the partnership?

that platform doesn't look good for me, that quote is only a speculation but the real will be different. At least the team create a partnership. But a huge drop in the price of one looks very annoying right now.
that partnership doesn't give any impact at all.

These things always happen with crypto currencies. Sometimes it falls, sometimes it rises, other times it corrects.

what's weird about this is there's no bad news related to harmony at all, no damaging FUDs whatsoever but it dropped so much like something is going on...
most alts are only down ~5% while harmony is down over 40% since June 30

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, you insightful soul.

Due to the lack of news from team, looks pretty suspicious.

I guess one of the main reason for this dump was instability in the price of bitcoin but anyhow it good to see that some of the launchpad projects are going up today.

Most of the cryptocurrencies are bleeding bad tonight do you guys think it's because of the latest tweet made by Trump where he calls bitcoin and crypto bad?

Most of the cryptocurrencies are bleeding bad tonight do you guys think it's because of the latest tweet made by Trump where he calls bitcoin and crypto bad?

Probably has nothing to do with it, and they were bleeding before he tweeted.  For reference here is the text of his tweet:

I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air. Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity....

....Similarly, Facebook Libra’s “virtual currency” will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new Banking Charter and become subject to all Banking Regulations, just like other Banks, both National...

...and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!

I think such a rant will only tickle more of his redneck followers' curiosities and overall good for crypto.

it is possible to run a masternode on ONE?
i have read about some nodes on the testnet but cant find any information about it on the official homepage - so i'm a little bit confused 

FN summary for everyone.
150 of the 600 nodes are external, the other 450 is run by us at the moment. This ratio also will gradually shift to be majority external by Mainnet Phase 3. We plan to add several hundred more in Q3 and the rest of 2019.
Release status check here https://nodes.harmony.one/harmony-status/release

What is the minimum staking amount?
For foundational nodes the amount staked is close to 1m ONE tokens...but we want to lower and make it more accessible to everyONE. We want to make it more accessible and even more decentralized.

How can I run a FN?
Foundational nodes onboarding  is currently closed but you can register your interest here and we will notify you if there is an opportunity to join in the future https://harmony.one/sodl

So those that are on the list and holding more than a million ONE waiting to get approved?
So we made a technical design choice to start the network with 600 nodes. This is to ensure the stability of the overall network. We have to start.

Is there someone who can explain how Harmony blockchain technology differs from Zilliqa, QuarkChain or Ethereum´s future sharding?
I know that Zilliqa has the simplest version of sharding technology. But comparing with QuarkChain for example? 

Q: Who are your main competitors and what are your main advantages?

A: The most famous previous sharding-based blockchains is probably Zilliqa, we respect their team and their technology but to achieve a truly scalable, decentralized and secure sharding-based blockchain, it takes more thinking deep into the technology.
Specifically, we employ state-sharding which break the scalability limit and really make our blockchain scalable to hundreds if not thousands of shards and potentially achieve hundreds of thousands of TPS.
So from a technical perspective, our technology and design thinking is actually at the level of Eth 2.0 where decentralization, security and performance are well-balanced. So for that, I would like to say that our true competitor is actually Eth 2.0. Our advantage compared to Eth 2.0 is a faster delivery time and more focused development. Besides, our chain is more preferring finality and speed while Eth 2.0 is more about liveness. Our staking model is also more efficient compared to Eth 2.0’s sampling-based model where validators have to wait a long time to be picked into consensus voting.
From the security aspect, a sharding-based blockchain needs to take care of the problem that a single shard is 1/N weaker than the whole network. So we adopt VRF+VDF based randomness sharding mechanism and Cuckoo-rule based resharding to effectively prevent a single shard being taken over.
From the decentralization point of view, we are the first PoS-based sharding blockchain, with a new staking model where more people rather than those big staker/validators can freely participate in the network. In our network, each shard can have 400 validators and in the whole network, there will be thousands of validators, which is a significant step upward for decentralization compared to other PoS projects with 21 to 100 validators in the whole network.
