I just got back from DC yesterday, and I was surprised by all the oracle cloud blockchain adverts. . .

Then I was like "who the hell riding the metro that got oracle money?"

im super glad oracle lost interest in my company before they went full idiot on blockchains or we'd probably have been dragged into that whirlpool with them

there have been ads on Metro for multi-billion-dollar jet turbines and missile defense systems.

congressional members, their staff, and various high ranking folks in government agencies/contractors ride Metro.

yeah ads in big transit centers near certain industrial or political bases are always super weird, i remember rochester international airport had a ton of ads for like, drug manufacturing because rochester has a pharma industry. not the drugs they make or the companies that make the drugs, specifically tools and facilities for making the drugs.

It's a good way of measuring whether the transit system you're on is one that acts as a money saver for the professional class or if it's a lovely system for the poors in a car centric city.

DC area traffic is terrible poo poo; I think of the metro as more of a time-saver than a money saver

What is Life? A Bitcoiner's Perspective (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 5 hours ago by ashik4chess

Life is an imitation of Bitcoin blockchain.

Everyday in your life is like a block in that distributed ledger. The tasks you do, the places you travel, the books you read, the fun or pain you have are like the transactions happening in a block (approximately every 10 minutes). The morals and values of the society, country or religion that you associate with are like the proof of work consensus algorithm honored by nodes participating in the bitcoin network. Once something happens in your life, the day you lived already can never be reverted back just like the transactions in the blocks that are immutable. Just like some faces of your life are visible to everyone as your public wallet address, there are some parts in you that no one can know except yourself similar to the secured cryptographic private key for your wallet.

Just like we have many types of people walking on earth - good or bad; male or female; white, brown or black; rich or poor - there are many participants in bitcoin's network - developers, node owners, community members, traders, exchange owners.

Life is an imitation of Bitcoin.

TOP 8 ICOS TO WATCH IN Q3 / Q4 (AUTUMN / WINTER 2018)

Skynet
In the ideal world of IoT, devices seamlessly interact with each other securely, at speed, without need for human interaction. The vision is for billions of devices to connect autonomously, exchanging data and aiding our daily lives by reducing our day to day exertions. By converging blockchain with the Internet of Things there is an increase of trust between devices, costs are reduced by eliminating intermediaries and the exchange of data is instantaneous and incredibly secure.

Skynet will target to replace every IoT device with their own blockchain enabled chip known as Skynet Core. The mission is to unite millions of devices together through a blockchain network that can cope with the enormous numbers of autonomous interactions expected as devices become increasingly interconnected.

Blockcloud
Blockcloud is another project looking at shaking up the IoT (Internet of Things). Their target is to become a scalable solution for the growing IoT industry, introducing an incentivised system that rewards participants, service providers and miners.

Blockcloud will be using a Service-Centric Networking solution (SCN), a web 3.0 idea that is built around uses service names, instead of using addresses. Combined with their blockchain protocol it will bring network providers to devices in a secure and trusted way. Billions of devices will no longer suffer from connectivity issues, interacting autonomously without slowdown. Crucially, as the demand in the industry grows and more devices become interconnected, the network will be able to scale effectively.

Uranus
Another project we’re keeping a close eye on is Uranus, a decentralised computing platform that utilises a blockchain network to harness shared processing power of idle computing devices. Originating from China the platform will take advantage of redundant and idle computer power across the world. Uranus will utilise the power of personal devices such as mobile phones, laptops and home computers through a decentralised blockchain network to provide shared computing power that could rival centralised clouds such as Amazon, Microsoft or Alibaba.

ChromaWay
Tipped for success by many cytptocurrency influencers, the Chromapolis ICO by Chromaway has an incredible amount of hype surrounding it, especially considering whitepaper details have been kept secret up until this point. The small team from Sweden is incredibly experienced with blockchain development and have a great track record. With these points in mind, Chromaway is definitely one to keep a close eye on moving into Autumn 2018. - This one could be big.

Metabase
Metabase is a 3rd generation blockchain that recognises problems within existing chains and improves on the technical and design limitations of first generation protocols such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Metabase targets to solve scalability issues challenging these existing blockchain platforms by introducing an innovative split chain concept. As transnational loads reach a specific threshold Metabase splits it's blockchain structures into two so that multiple chains are formed. This encourages a more efficient, scalable process than focusing on mining blocks one by one on a linear scale.

OEL Foundation
OEL is a non-profit organisation founded by existing company OpenPort, whose creation is intending to bring numerous stakeholders and supply chain leaders in the industry into an alliance. Together, these key figures will form the basis of a board that will make decisions collectively to improve current flaws in the logistics industry and propel the use of OpenPort’s blockchain-based solution.

Ubex
The next project on the list is Ubex, an AI platform built to improve the relevance and conversion rate of advertising across a multitude of online platforms. Their claim is that the current system, primarily directing this toward Google Ads, does not effectively target its users and provides content ineffectively. – Ubex strives to change this.

Through the use of blockchain and Artificial intelligence the Ubex Ad exchange targets to remove irrelevant content and only send users demographic specific advertisements that are relevant to each customer. They present this in the right format, placed in specific positions to encourage maximum engagement.
