Whenever I see AI and machine learning, I think of how these buzzwords are used every day in the blockchain world. However, Kaasy network is taking this a step further to get machine learning into the general public, who can contribute data for the training part of the program, and get paid for it by KAAS tokens which are 0.1 Euro per token. I also understand that a lot of the players from the Romanian national team is supporting this ICO, so this means that there are a lot of people behind this platform. This does not necessarily mean ready and rich investors with lots of money, but it means public support and these people can definitely support the platform by contributing to the training dataset. Here is a nice video that explains Kaasy: The platform uses the Knowledge as a Service principal, which suggests that you can purchase knowledge. If that is true when you are learning something in school from a paid teacher, why not make it true for all types of valuable knowledge people or companies are willing to pay, right. So, if I have a soccer company and I want to sell more tickets, I would like to know which player would get me more ticket sales. When people on a blockchain are providing me with this knowledge, then it is the best knowledge there is because I can tell that it is genuine and it is not messy. However, what is best about this platform is that they are proposing a GPU that is designed specifically for mining these tokens. It will be doing the machine learning and offering coprocessor power as well. You know those ASIC machines that do nothing but mine cryptocurrencies? What they are offering is similar to that, but they will be using GPUs, which are cheaper, and they will have these GPUs make additional tasks whereas the ASICs can only mine Bitcoin. Because Ethereum is made ASIC resistant to making it more decentralized, it makes sense that GPUs are used for the KAAS token and for machine learning. Miners will be rewarded for all the activities, not just for mining. So, you add the information from your GPU and your AI, and whenever this information is used on a test data (once the machine learning is done, the principles learned are used on test data), you get to make money again. This provides the companies or people using these data with the option to pay once they use the knowledge, as opposed to paying ahead of time. I know I would not want to pay for something if I decide that I am not gonna use it.
The system they are using is similar to what is called server hopping, which is widely used by companies like Facebook. However, they will be using this innovative system on the blockchain, which is an innovation by itself. It decreases the overall load on a single server, or a node in this case, and thus, optimizes shortest run time and minimizes the electricity consumption. So, in addition to preventing server/node crashes, this system is good for the environment. And, guess what, now you have a decentralized data assistant that can do tasks for you!

The picture above shows that GMB is fast!We are at the end of 2018 and every day there is a new stable coin coming out. We used to have tether only, and now I do not know the names of the all stable coins including the one from the V twins. What if there was a coin that had the normal volatile coin and a stable coin along with it. The most distinguished feature of the GMB platform, as far as I can see is that it is using these two types of coins. One is a master coin and one is a branch coin. The branch coin is a stable coin and the master coin will have its price based on the market. The branch coin will be stable but it will not simply be stable based on USD, it will be stable based on each country’s own money. So, it will be worth 1 Euro in Europe, 1 Sterling in England, or 1 Yen in Japan. Here is a video with nice music that explains GMB Platform and how it works: So, basically, the idea of using a stable coin for each country is that people simply want to be able to purchase things they love with digital money, but not everyone is a trader. I know from myself that a lot of times I tend to act emotionally and every trader knows that if you act based on your emotions, you lose. Anyways, not everyone wants to be involved in such activity anyways. People simply want to earn and spend their money. The exchange is where the master coin is bought and sold. There will be a decentralized exchange platform where people trading or dealing with cryptocurrencies can convert that to the stable coin (called branch coin) of that country, and spend it in real life. This means that when you travel to another country, you will not have to carry your money with you. Instead, you can simply remember the exchange password and go wherever you want to go. To get this to the reality, real stores in every country of the World needs to start accepting the branch coin of this platform. Since they have their own dex exchange, the platform can simply establish an office in airports and train stations, providing you with the service of getting your branch/stable coin. Once people see these ATM type deals, they will be more likely to accept or spend the branch coin of GMB platform. The disadvantage of bitcoin is that there is nobody who is willing to spend its own money to establish such shops, and in the absence of these things, bitcoin adaptation is taking a back step. GMB’s first SPACE Dapp: TravelSpace is a blockchain-based travel community service. However, the platform is not limited to travel, they will soon be expanding into entertainment and trade. Current blockchains have various problems, the most immediate one is scalability and another one is speed or the number of transactions per second. GMB is claiming to be the fastest blockchain on Earth as they say that their Transaction Per Second goal is 1 million. The platform is combining a software-based blockchain with optimal hardware equipment called Mikkschain Solution to achieve 5 seconds block generation time.

When I first heard about the Stem Cell Innovations by its abbreviated name SCI, I thought it was Scientific Citation Index. As a scientist who deals with SCI journals all the time, I think it is interesting that they named their company SCI :) It is my experience that running stem cell research requires courage, and this company seems to have it since they are running this company. This is especially correct for EU and for pluripotent stem cells, because you have to mark a special button if you are asking for funding of stem cell research, and it automatically goes to the ethical board for investigation. Combined with regulation related difficulties of the blockchain world, this idea definitely needs a Hercules strength regulation team and lawyers. The company itself was founded in 2013 under another name and they have been working on this subject ever since. The first thing they offer is that as soon as your baby is born, you will be able to collect their pluripotent cells from the umbilical cord and keep it in the cryogenic bank of SCI. You will be able to follow everything from the collection to storage using a single app on your phone. The platform is (HIPPA) Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Compliant, which means it protects your medical data. Because this is a decentralized application on the blockchain, the security is as strong as it can be. Data on blockchain cannot be hacked, manipulated or changed as every transaction is kept on thousands of computers around the world. There will be no chance of mixing your child’s information as it is kept on the anonymous public ledger. With the help of smart contracts and the blockchain, what took weeks will now be in seconds. The contracts will use the SCI token, which shows that this is a utility token with a total supply of 800 million at 0.15 USD per token. It will be used to access SCI network, products, and services. At the moment, I am not sure who can access to stem cell medical treatments, but if they can make it cheaper and accessible to more people, all the power to them. The company will enable people to purchase Cord Blood, which can be saved later to produce somatic cells. People will be able to purchase medical supplies and synthetic stem cells. Synthetic Stem Cells will be a lot cheaper since the platform is simply removing the middleman. According to the platform, this decrease in price could be up to 70% of the market price. On the medical professional side, online app membership will be required and doctors will pay the normal fee while medical students will be able to get it on a heavily discounted price. The doctors will be able to contact Stem CEll Consultant Specialists 24/7 and there will be DNA Ethnicity Tests. Stem Cell technology is not a common occurrence and people working on this should be networked as all people working on this combined can form a critical mass. In other words, people working on genomics in the EU can form critical mass to produce significant results because there are enough people working on this. To form a similar mass, the whole world should be brought together in a network and this platform would like to do just that. I hope they succeed and our children can see a brighter future.

But it vibrates to take you where you want to go, so let your dirty mind at ease. Navibrator was developed for everyone to be able to navigate without looking at their phone. You want to look ahead while navigating, instead of your phone, otherwise, you might hit something or someone. This is true for everyone, but it is especially useful for sight challenged and the blind. If they improve the program to tell you the things in front of you, blind people may no longer need dogs. Here is a nice romantic video that explains how it works: NewsBTC is a respectable site and they included Navibration among its Top Blockchain Companies in 2018. In addition to this site’s promotion, one thing that shows how serious Navibration is, they are supported by the government of Spain and a working MVP. The Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Competition of Spain has been supporting Navibration Experiences. This means that they can overcome all kinds of regulation because they have a voice in the Spanish government. I personally think this is a HODL token for all the investors, and I rarely say things like that. The company already published the app on google play and on the ios app store, so this puts them one step ahead of any competition. Their navigation system is patented, so this gets them another step ahead of the competition. They call this system no maps, no internet, no tripping up and no limits. I use navigation within country limits but I most need it when I am abroad and then, I am roaming, which means that the internet on my cell phone is off. Sure, I can always download offline maps from Google maps but it does not compare to this thing where you can simply walk by the vibration from your phone. If it vibrates left, you go left if it vibrates right you go right. That is right, you do not have to look at your phone or hold it up leaving thieves a chance to grab it from your hand. This is especially true if you are traveling to poor countries where thievery is common. Navibration also puts audio guidebooks on the blockchain and people can purchase these using the native coin, Navicoin. They already have an alpha version of experiences and I went ahead and listened to Brussels introduction and Grand Place. The audio guide is very authentic and gives you the Brussels feeling. This is the link for the guide list: https://www.navibration.com/guides/list and this is the link for Brussels introduction guidebook: https://www.navibration.com/guides/54/Bruselas%20-%20centro If you move down towards the bottom of the page, you will see a map and you can click on different areas of the city, listening about the different places. If you are navigating already, you can listen about the places you are visiting, which is about one or two minutes long, or you can listen to all the recordings regarding the area you will be visiting, and then go wherever you like based on what you hear from the tour guide. If you are from a touristic city or from a big city which is visited by a lot of people, you can write the itinerary, or you can write the content for the route on the itinerary. If you know a foreign language, you can translate the content. If you are local, you can record the audio and the professional navibration team will edit the recording and finalize it. Then people can purchase these using the Navicoin or normal FIAT money. The Navibration platform is selling digital goods as well, so you can purchase their smartwatch that specifically works with their platform or their smart stick that can be used by blind people as a walking cane.

Before that, there were a lot of different chess websites, but none of them were gathering significant interest. Some sites were trying to entice chess players with payments and rewards, but it was no use. When chess.com started, they immediately received a lot of attention and unique users, growing into the massive behemoth that is chess.com today. Looking at the domain name, which was registered in 1996 and was changed to the decentralized web service that is seen today in 2014, I think buying.com may have the same potential. Here is a short and sweet video that explains why buying.com is different than the others: Now you may think this is another one of those decentralized Amazon but they have huge differences. For example, one of the features I like is the Webuy feature. You see, a lot of times I see goods in China wholesalers for cheap like solar street light but I cannot buy them because all I want is just one item for my yard. The shipping alone would cost a fortune if I buy just one of these high powered solar lights. However, with the Webuy feature, which reminds me of the Wechat messenger program of China, people from the same region can combine their buying powers and buy things way cheaper. The same thing can be used for retailers as well because more customers mean more bargaining power. The company has that Webuy trademarked, so no other company can use that, which is good against copycats and other competition. You know how facebook comes up with the exact same thing snapchat has been implementing? This prevents that kind of thing from happening. Check out logo of buying.com at the shopping center between Piccadilly and Jermyn Street in central London (disclaimer: the photo is not real, I added the logo). Another feature I like is the iDistribute feature where you can keep goods in your home to be distributed. So, if you have spare space in your house and you do not mind going around in your hometown with your car, you can do that just like an Uber driver. All of this is getting us one step closer to the bossless future where the gig economy takes over and it is the people who do the job and get paid, instead of a fat boss who organizes everything and takes a cut. This is the exact definition of decentralized systems and I am looking forward to seeing that future. The platform is not simply a shopping site but they also have APIs that can help anyone to have a shopping store, gaming store, kiosks etc. And they are guaranteeing 2-hour delivery! To be honest, the same delivery is great but giving the guarantee to a 2-hour delivery is really significantly different than all other platforms I have seen up to this point. I guess having ordinary folks deliver the goods do that. Some of the partners they have impressed me also. Dropshipper.com is one of them and you can get stuff from China and whenever a customer orders from you, they will deliver it from China on your behalf, so it is great. Because their token will be a node staking token, I expect its value to increase all the time because people tend to keep staking tokens for their dividends. Whenever investors keep tokens instead of selling them, the token value increase :)
Website: https://www.buying.com/ Whitepaper: https://www.buying.com/assets/documents/BuyingComWhitePaperLatest.pdf Pitch deck: https://www.buying.com/assets/documents/PitchDeckAug142018REVISED.pptx Twitter: https://twitter.com/buying_com Let's Connect: https://twitter.com/BitCoinBanka https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1114493 https://bountyhive.io/r/ridertiger I have seen this platform about three months ago and my first thought was to wait, how can children use a cryptocurrency wallet? I mean even adults have a hard time using, sending, receiving crypto. So, I was intrigued and have started to look into it. After all, it would be a very valuable “piggy bank” if this wallet could be used even by kids. Think about it, if your toddler can use it, you can be sure your elderly grandma can definitely use it. Some people simply dislike technology, and even these people may like this nice little wallet and may get into cryptocurrency investment. This helps the cryptocurrency world as a whole and brings mass adoption closer to reality. Here is a nice video they have on the site that explains Pigzbe: At the time of writing this article, the ICO collected 7.2 million USD of the 8.85 million USD. This is a great indication that the platform will be able to do everything they set out to do. If a lot of families and children start using this token in games and sending allowance, it could take off and their native token WOLLO can be a real utility token with the price above ICO, which is 1000 WOLLO for 120 USD, or 0.12 USD per token. If you purchase more, the price stays the same but you get a lot of pink and black Pigzbe wallets. Talking about their wallets, they are following what Apple has been doing with their computers and cell phones and creating really good designs. The Pigzbe wallet was designed in London by the award-winning designers behind the Cubetto Playset, which shows its beauty and separates this wallet from the herd. They have two different wallets, one in Pink and one in Black. The Pigzbe Pink controller is a game controller for children and it notifies your kids if you send them money or gaming rewards. I know my kids love their XBOX controllers and if I could send them money through that reward them for doing homework through that controller, they would just love it. So, the pink controller is interactive, it has 6 axis motion control and dual buttons. It “screen” is made up of LEDs, and it has a vibration motor and a speaker for tactile feedback, which is something they added to go the extra miles I guess. Needless to say, the unit has wifi and Bluetooth connections. Pigzbe Black is simply a cold storage device for adults and it has everything you expect from a cold storage device, but with a style. In addition to your run of the mill bitcoin and ethereum, the wallet can handle stellar (XLM) type tokens. I am very pleased with that because I know that IBM has been collaborating with stellar. Because it has Bluetooth, you can use your mobile phone to send and receive money through the wallet. As almost all ICOs these days, Pigzbe requires KYC, but I understand that you can simply download Eido from Google Play or the App store and complete your KYC to purchase tokens. I especially love that big money investors get the same tokens as the normal investors, just more devices come with it. This way, people with huge bonuses won’t be able to dump their tokens for pennies on the dollar. A lot of ICOs make that mistake and I am very pleased that Pigzbe is not making that mistake. It is not a piggy bank, it is a piggy wallet :) Website: https://www.pigzbe.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/pigzbe?lang=en Let's Connect: https://twitter.com/BitCoinBanka https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1114493 https://bountyhive.io/r/ridertiger |
