It has become apparent that scalability in the world of blockchain technology will remain a pressing problem. While cryptocurrency developers are working on addressing these issues right now, there is no unified approach. BloXroute Labs is working on a proprietary solution that will allegedly offer scaling and be compatible with all existing and future blockchains without too much of a problem. It’s an ambitious goal, and one worth keeping an eye on. What is bloXroute Exactly? The bloXroute solution, developed by BloXroute Labs, primarily aims to resolve the bottleneck presented by blockchain technology today. If things go according to plan, this concept will provide scalabilityPowered by WPeMatico
The following opinion piece was written by Jonald Fyookball. In part 1 of this series, I highlighted the importance of education. A community that is educated will be less influenced by propaganda. The second principle is that of clarity. The community needs to be “on the same page”. There is never going to be a perfect alignment […]
There’s something romantic about the notion of the struggling artist. Sketching portraits in the cobbled streets of an aging city, scribbling novels by candlelight in a dimly-lit apartment, eating noodles from a cup… Who doesn’t love a struggling artist? Struggling artists, for one. Let’s be honest. Writers, actors, dancers, singers, filmmakers, creative types in general… most of them put in hours of endless slog for very little reward. Once the door of opportunity slams in their face enough times, they begin to buy into the belief that “making it big” is a mere pipedream. Or that they have to be
The Hack Heard ‘Round The Net “I’m fairly knowledgeable in blockchain and have a lot of exposure in the space,” says Michael Fauscette, the chief research officer at G2 Crows, a platform and community where people connect and share experiences about business software. Having spent over ten years as an executive and senior analyst at tech market research firm IDC, Fauscette, like countless others around the world, is no stranger to the dangers of brute force attacks and crypto-mining hacking attempts. But with Fauscette, he endured an automated bot brute force attack over a period of five days. Michael’s Story
It is estimated that a staggering $350 trillion in global assets are held and traded daily via the use of conventional fiat banking systems. These systems, while highly prevalent, are ridden with innate issues of poor liquidity, low transparency, and little accountability. This is because banks and other financial institutions are governed by central operators and thus are confined in terms of overall operability. CommerceBlock is an all-new blockchain-based platform that has been designed to facilitate global economic trade in a secure, private, and efficient manner via public blockchains. All of the project’s technology is based on peer-reviewed research by experts
If you’re a gamer, you know the feeling of spending countless hours trying to boost your player’s level, rank, weapon arsenal, and fashion attire. With video games like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and World of Warcraft, players are able to either earn in-game points or purchase downloadable content (DLC) through their video game console’s online store (Microsoft or Sony) to enhance their gaming experience. But in the gaming world, all players are not created equal. In multi-player gaming, some gamers have better in-game experiences than others on their team or opposite them, because of the DLC available. You
Centralized platforms have revolutionized the way in which employers and business owners source their workforces. However, the organizations which own these systems are able to retain ownership of massive amounts of individual data and information, leading to market monopolization as well as a lack of innovation. Dock.io is an all-new blockchain-based technology which aims to solve the issue of data hoarding via the implementation of a protocol that encourages data exchange and transfer between different digital platforms. The dock.io protocol is a special purpose decentralized data exchange protocol which is meant to incentivize the exchange of work experience, reviews, and professional
In the current economic climate, most financial institutions prefer to loan out cash for cash. This basically means that banks will lend users the same amount of money as they possess in their savings accounts, using fiat assets as collateral. As a result, it becomes difficult for businesses with low liquidity to get much-needed capital in order to grow. FintruX can be thought of as a global P2P lending ecosystem that employs a no-code development model and is powered by the Ethereum blockchain. The FintruX Network makes it easy for small businesses to quickly secure affordable loans with no collateral in any currency, thereby allowing
Cryptocurrency service providers have been a prime target for criminals for as long as most people can remember. Most recently, security researchers came across FacexWorm, which targets cryptocurrency trading platforms accessed through affected browsers. It is another worrisome development for crypto enthusiasts. FacexWorm is a big Problem Researchers over at TrendMicro have outlined the potential problems caused by FacexWorm. As the name somewhat suggests, the malware in question is mainly distributed through Facebook Messenger. This is one of the downsides of using increasingly popular instant messaging apps, as they will attract criminals of all kinds sooner or later. In this particular case, it seems
When it comes to cryptocurrency, getting more consumers interested in this form of money is a big challenge. This is why things such as tipbots and airdrops often work quite well. It now seems Nano can be distributed through any messaging service one can think of. This is all made possible by the NanoMate project, which will take this altcoin to the next level if there is enough interest. The NanoMate Service Gets an Upgrade People familiar with the Nano ecosystem will have heard of NanoMate before. This service is designed to take Nano to the next level by letting people introduce their
