Earlier this year, a Boeing 777-300 aircraft, bound for Los Angeles Airport (LAX) departing from Auckland (AKL), carried out a proof of concept centred around the simulation of a broken cabin part. Upon reaching cruising altitude, the crew radioed back to the Air New Zealand maintenance facility in Auckland to report a Business Premier bumper part - which sits between seat and monitor to ensure the seat isn’t damaged when the screen is pushed back to default position - needed replacing.

The maintenance team used its access to a digital catalogue of parts uploaded by Air New Zealand’s MRO provider, Singapore-based ST Engineering, and ordered a replacement component. ST Engineering identified the nearest certified 3D printing system to where the passenger plane was due to land and pushed the order through for Moog Aircraft Group to additively manufacture. This all happens at approximately 1am Pacific Time. By 7am, the mobile printer is deployed, printing the part ready for use well before the aircraft lands at 11am. Within 30 minutes of being on the tarmac, the part is replaced, and the plane can now complete its three more scheduled trips before returning to Auckland.

Moog’s answer to this hypothetical, yet likely scenario is VeriPart, the programme which catalogued digital files of parts for Air New Zealand to access during the failed part simulation. This demonstration of the VeriPart programme validates Moog’s goal of creating a digital marketplace that is open to all part suppliers. VeriPart is a private permissioned environment, meaning the intellectual property of supplies is protected by encryption so only those with access can get information on parts. The need for physical inventory is taken away, parts can be requested on-demand, both in remote locations via mobile devices and with workstations on the shop floor. Meanwhile, Ethereum blockchain technology is ensuring traceability of every step of the process, from the design and production of parts, to the journey it takes from conception through to installation.

Wyoming’s banking commissioner, Albert Forkner, said the state was taking the matter seriously.

“Protecting Wyoming is my number one priority,” he said in a statement to the Star-Tribune. “The allegations made in the lawsuit are serious, but unproven at this stage. As part of our bank chartering process, the Division of Banking and our federal colleagues will conduct a thoughtful investigation into the lawsuit. If Kraken applies for a SPDI charter, they must meet our rigorous standards for the prevention of money laundering and sanctions violations. They won’t do business in Wyoming unless the allegations are proven to be false.”

Kraken — a key player in the cryptocurrency movement — has been keen on building up a presence in Wyoming, which recently passed legislation allowing for the creation of Special Purpose Depository Institutions – or “SPDI” banks – within Wyoming’s borders. Kraken recently sponsored a “hackathon” at the University of Wyoming whose panelists promoted the benefits of doing business in Wyoming, and was one of a handful of firms rumored to be seeking licensure from the state to operate one of these banks.

The Mozilla Foundation, the charity that develops the Firefox web browser, began accepting Bitcoin donations for their end of 2014 campaign. This wasn’t good enough for the advocates: they demanded Mozilla include Bitcoin prominently on the primary donation page! With millions of page views, it was quite easy to run an A/B test, where you serve a different version of the page to a fraction of the viewers and can directly compare the effects of the two versions. The A/B test showed that the text “Donate with Bitcoin” dropped revenue per visitor by 7.5%; adding the text would have lost them $140,000 over the campaign, for the sake of a few thousand dollars in Bitcoin. The Bitcoin community, of course, claimed that this literal direct measurement was somehow statistically bogus, listing objections that showed they didn’t understand what an A/B test was.

i appreciated the source marking and didn’t find it clunky.

also lolling at the typo “mocdeled” because i feel like the term “mockdeling” has some applications in the space.

After reading this entire thread, I don't think bitcoin is so great - either as a value store or currency exchange. I'd recommend to divest of or avoid this "crypto currency"
