A lot of people are keeping a close eye on the Golem project. It is a pretty interesting concept which aims to become the Airbnb for computers. Doing so will require a proper infrastructure to accommodate demand and distribute computing resources. The project has now entered the beta testing phase and has been officially launched on the mainnet. The Golem Project Continues to Evolve As is always the case with projects which raise money through initial coin offerings, expectations are pretty high for Golem. Its ICO was quite successful, although it has taken a while for most people to try this technology themselves. That longPowered by WPeMatico
While much of the crypto world remains a speculative market for investments, exciting DApps are emerging on the Ethereum platform. Here are five DApps showing Ethereum is used for more than just investment purposes. 5. Augur – The Predictive Markets Dapp Augur leverages the hive mind of crowds to make real-time predictions using actual money. Since investors essentially bet on their predictions and earn a reward when their predictions are right, there’s a strong incentive to only place good bets. Predictive markets have been shown to be more accurate than individual predictions from analysts and traditional survey polls. Essentially, when you’re asked
Genesis blocks hold a symbolism that’s almost spiritual. They represent the birth of a new cryptocurrency, and when that currency flourishes, its foundation stone – the maiden block to have been mined – is referenced reverentially. Ethereum’s first address is a memorable one: 0x followed by 40 zeroes. It’s also a dangerous one that has […]
It’s said that 90% of all startups fail, and that we should expect nothing more from ICOs. But 10% success rate is still overly optimistic for ICOs, perhaps not for the reason you may think. You’re probably aware of examples of ICO “founders” who turned out to be a bunch of made up Linkedin-profiles. You’re […]
With the thousands of coins out there and hundreds more released every day, one can get overwhelmed with the vast amount of options when it comes to investing into one of these projects. This article will go over a foolproof strategy which anybody can use to assess and evaluate any ICO or token and decide based on their own preferences whether the project is a good fit for an investment. Assert In order to choose a fitting project one must first select the niche which one is interested investing in and assert one’s position. Each ICO, token, or coin has their solution to a
There are many blockchain-based projects in development which have the potential to transform certain aspects of our daily lives. The Golem project, for example, certainly has a lot of merit. Creating a global decentralized supercomputer is not an easy feat, though. So far, the team has made some big progress toward bringing this project to market, but there is still a long way to go. Now is a good time to see what Golem is really all about. A Brief Overview of the Golem Project People who have been keeping an eye on technological developments as of late may have noticed how
Now that net neutrality is dead here in America, you may be left wondering: is there anything I can do to fight this? Well, there’s a pretty strong case to be made for virtual private networks (VPNs) in light of the news, and there’s an even stronger case to be made for decentralized web protocols that run on the blockchain. Both VPNs and crypto platforms like Substratum and Golem could allow people to circumvent the potential manipulation of data access that net neutrality’s repeal may invite. Bye Bye Neutrality If you haven’t heard the news yet, we hate to break it
