Day: December 29, 2017

Whether you’re a neophyte hoping to pick up a thing or two from industry veterans—or a veteran seeking new customers or business parters; a startup owner looking to attract investors—or an investor searching for a hot new project to back; attending trade events is a great way to jump-start your efforts. Conferences in particular can be tremendously helpful in establishing bridges across geographical distance, technological gaps, and cultural differences. As such, they are of vital importance when it comes to learning “the lay of the land,” establishing your brand, or expanding the scope and reach of your business.

The BlockYard conference is an international gathering of people interested in the blockchain technology, with particular emphasis on cryptocurrency applications. Its inaugural edition, scheduled for 13 April 2018, is expected to attract approximately 1,000 participants, including—among others—developers, startups, FinTech specialists, miners, traders, investors, and journalists. Attendees will have a chance to hear from and interact with some of the movers and shakers of the crypto market, and to network with hundreds of like-minded individuals.

In stark contrast to many similar events, BlockYard eschews the “all things blockchain” approach in favor of a more selective agenda. In keeping with this year’s main theme of “investing, mining, and trading,” presentations will focus specifically on various aspects of the cryptocurrency business. Speakers will address the audience from two stages, Novice and Advanced, providing both broad basics for the benefit of complete beginners and expert advice targeted at seasoned cryptocurrency aficionados.

The 2018 conference will take place in the historic Polish city of Gdańsk, on the coast of the Baltic Sea. In the post-industrial space of Centrum Stocznia Gdańska—a repurposed shipyard assembly hall, dating from the mid-1930s—attendees will be treated to a tightly packed program of provocative talks, pitch sessions, and networking events. To ensure that everyone’s needs are adequately met, the organizers have prepared a wide range of exhibitor and sponsor options, including an attractively priced ICO package. Conference tickets are on sale now, with discounted Early Bird rates available until 2 February 2018.

BlockYard aims to bring together individuals and organizations involved in various ways with distributed consensus networks: users and developers, investors and startups, businesses and clients. In doing so, it hopes to create an open space for free exchange of information and experience related to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Would you like to be a part of that exchange?

Today social networking sites make billions of dollars from users’ activity and content merely by showing ads to them, while users don’t get anything in return. All the profit is taken by corporations and none of them tend to share it with their users.

But the world is changing fast. Allabout.me is a new generation social network based on an advanced principle of fairness and transparency between the social media and a user. It combines the benefits of the digital currency of the future, the Bitcoin, and blockchain technology and gives its users an opportunity to get rewarded for using the service.

А Revolution in Visual Advertising

Aside from standard SNS features, every Allabout.me user’s account can be used as their ad space, therefore all their followers become each user’s own advertising audience.

Thus, by activating their advertising account in one click, a user allows their account to automatically post ads that will appear in all of their followers’ news feeds, and gets rewarded by Allabout.me for every ad display. The reward can be up to 50% of the ad cost per view. The important thing is that the social media does not reward users with its own money, but shares a part of the client’s payment. And this truly revolutionary approach of Allabout.me’s developers is unparalleled in the world. It is also important to mention that all the processes are fully automated and require no further action from the user.

The Business Model of the Future

Our business model is a total win-win.

Every user gets rewarded simply by spending time on the social media. So, it is not hard to imagine how many people would jump at the opportunity to effortlessly build a source of passive income. Our clients get a big, easily targeted and inherently ad-friendly audience, which is financially motivated in placing ads on their social media. Meanwhile, the social network provides itself with a constant inflow of new users and clients, thus increasing not only its profit, but also its popularity. The only question is: how is it technically possible to perform millions of transactions for millions of users at a time?

Blockchain, Bitcoin and ALL.ME (ME) Token

The answer to this question lies in innovative Blockchain technology. Implementing our business model without its opportunities would be nearly impossible. Allabout.me will also use Bitcoin for external payments, particularly for transactions between the social network and the client. This is another unique feature of the project, unrivaled throughout the world.

All the internal payments, user rewards and other transactions within Allabout.me will be carried out with the use of ME Token, the network’s digital token. Allabout.me provides users with ample opportunity to use the token: purchase of stickers, gifts and profile themes, premium subscription, music subscription, Bitcoin exchange and — coming soon — the “Showcase” platform. It is a unique trading platform within the social network, where users will be able to purchase goods not only from trading companies, but also from each other. One doesn’t have to be a financial analyst to see the economic potential of “Showcase”. In the long term, it can even challenge the e-commerce companies dominating the global market today.

It is worth mentioning that, aside from a wide range of uses within Allabout.me, ME Tokens can be used outside the network, too. Each user will have a cryptocurrency wallet and an exchange service integrated into their account, so that they will be able to send remittances to each other, exchange ME Tokens to Bitcoins or sell them at the Exchange.

ICO as a Powerful Impulse for Worldwide Business Expansion

The innovative social network Allabout.me is now fully completed and ready for use, and anyone can already reach the future — in every sense of the word. All they have to do is tap the download button in the App Store or Google Play.

The owners of Allabout.me are currently preparing for implementing an ICO in just a few weeks.

Now Allabout.me is launching ICO. The project meets the highest expectations: ALL.ME tokens pre sale has gathered more than 1.8 million US dollars  for less than 24 hours!

The important thing is that the main aim of the initial coin offering is considered to be our business model expansion to all the regions and the continents of the world. And it’s perfectly reasonable, because Allabout.me is a truly unique, breakthrough project that opens a new chapter in social network development. This is the platform whose development is absolutely natural. This is the social network anticipated and deserved by every person from all over the world using a social network service. And while back in the day one couldn’t but bitterly agree that spending time on social media is a pleasure, but a total waste of time, now it is safe to say that every minute spent on Allabout.me has a real value and can give each user not only pleasure but also real profit. And all this is possible thanks to Allabout.me — the future that has already happened.

Throughout 2017 we have witnessed a plethora of Bitcoin “hard forks”. Some of them were just a simple cash grab, some of them offered interesting improvements to the Bitcoin technology. But Bitcoin Flash seems to be outpacing them all, finally introducing much needed instant confirmations feature to Bitcoin, and other interesting aspects like the opportunity to earn Bitcoin Flash by running a masternode.

In original Bitcoin, the transaction propagates fairly quickly through the network, but it is not considered “cleared” until it gets mined into the block, or better yet, two or three of them. The software auto-adjusts itself to keep the interval between blocks 10 minutes on average, which results in the waiting time of 10-30 minutes for the transaction to be confirmed. Needless to say, this severely damages the chances of Bitcoin being widely accepted in physical retail stores.

Dash, which runs a modified Bitcoin code, alleviated this problem by inventing InstantX — a technology that locks the transaction outputs in such a way that it cannot be double spent, and thus providing instant confirmations for everyone accepting Dash transactions. This property is achieved by incentivizing people to run thousands of masternodes. They lock in the consensus, and earn more coins for their service in return. The process is trustless and decentralized, and the technology has been working very well for the past several years, and there was no incidents so far.

Now that it proved itself useful and functional on the separate blockchain, it’s time to merge this into Bitcoin blockchain. Dash has never achieved the same market share that Bitcoin has, and it’s mostly because Bitcoin having a “first mover advantage” on the market and people being inert. Now they will have a choice to support the better chain, with all their balances properly migrated. It will go live on block 502502, which is approximately January 5, 2018.

Unlike other forks (Bitcoin Gold, for instance, didn’t have working code at the time the fork happened), Bitcoin Flash code is ready to be used, with small changes being introduced but all main features working (BitcoinTalk thread contains a call for all developers and Dash fans to support and help the development, and earn bounty in return). And the documentation doesn’t need much work, because it’s almost the same as for Dash.

As usual, Bitcoin Flash is soon to be added to various Bitcoin exchanges, and the futures of it would be traded before the fork date. It is expected that crypto enthusiasts which don’t have access to powerful mining equipment, will still be able to earn Bitcoin Flash by running masternodes. Similar to Dash, to run a masternode, its operator has to have 1,000 BTF locked as a collateral (similar to proof of stake). While there’s not many people that have 1,000 BTC in their wallets and willing to run Bitcoin Flash masternodes, BTF itself is expected to initially be traded cheaper than Bitcoin Core, allowing for a window of opportunity to obtain the needed amount, which is expected to have a primary role in increasing Bitcoin Flash demand in the first days and weeks. After that, it will depend on Bitcoin Flash securing its place in checkout lines in the retail stores as an “instant Bitcoin”.
