Omniwallet Milestone v0.24

Screen Shot 2014-12-17 at 2.22.57 PMUS Dollars, Russian Rubles, Chinese Yuan, you might wonder what do these all have to do with Omniwallet? Starting last Friday we began the rollout of a new Account Settings page within Omniwallet. A long requested feature, users now have the ability to update wallet passwords, set/change an email address and choose a preferred currency for displaying wallet value. Along with hiding Test Ecosystem properties (the new default) from your wallet you can now also support the developers.

Property Token by Delta Business Management and the Omni/Master Protocol

By Judith Jakubovics – BizDev at the Omni/Mastercoin Foundation

In this project, the Delta Business Management wants to embed unique id’s into the tokens to make a strong binding to a deed / contract. Once it will launch, the intention is to scale the business and branch into other forms of assets and property in particular residential markets and capital held in properties. The aim being that asset is more interchangeable giving the owner more flexibility with their wealth.

I would define it as PayTo capability token.

Delta will want to keep tokens to retain their pay to history so the new owners of the contract/token won’t be paid over and over and form a limited fund source. These assets are to be issued manually upon sale.

Customers will apply for Delta ID token. They will apply and send in KYC documentation which will be vetted by Delta Business Management. Once verified a delta ID token will be sent to the clients designated address. Visible in Omniwallet. etc., Once an individual has a delta ID token, they will be able to purchase from the Delta range.

The token holds no personal information and will just be to verify that this individual has passed KYC and is known to DBM, The tokens will be sequential ref designated within the token and all personal information will be kept offline and managed by Delta. Anyone viewing the token via Omniwallet will see DBM ID 001 & DBM ID 002 and so on. No personal information is contained within the total and the identity will only be known by Delta. You will be able to purchase directly from Delta website or directly from the Decentralized Omni exchange – Omni Exchange is scheduled to launch by the second week of January 2015.

So this property tokens will be traded with other members of the delta eco system (ie others who have a valid id token) this means that the properties are interchangeable without the need for estate agents and lawyers. There are procedures in place if someone sells an asset to a non delta ID token holder. The “sendbacks” are stopped until the new owner has obtained their own delta ID token.

All revenue received from the asset will be converted to btc by Delta as the management agent and will be distributed by BTC send outs quarterly providing the Delta terms are met (Delta ID token accompanies the asset).

If people no longer want their property managed by Delta they can either send the token back to Delta to redeem for the title deeds from UK land registry or, they can initiate the break clause in the original contract and receive a full refund (option available after 5 years).

Delta sees exciting opportunities with projects like factom.org (Factom is born on the Omni/Master Protocol) to be able to break the existing storage and parking assets into smaller pieces for small investors build up their portfolios. This would not be possible without projects like Factom.org getting around the micro payments problem which enables to break it down for smaller investors/clients.

Community Members,

I’m happy to report that I’m back from representing the Omni community at the Paris Bitcoin conference.

While over in Europe I hopped onto a train eastward and made my way to the land of Zug. For those unfamiliar Zug is a Canton and city in Switzerland just about 20 minutes south (by train) of Zurich the financial hub of the country.

CryptoValley3

My purpose there was to open a Omni Foundation office in Europe and also incorporate the new Omni Foundation entity in one of the world’s most crypto friendly places. In fact the Omni Foundation is using the same law firm and this is the same jurisdiction that Ethereum, Monetas, Hermes and many other blockchain related projects have chosen as their home.

By choosing the same location we gain a great deal of network effect benefits. Chief among these benefits is that these fellow projects have smoothed the way, by educating local counsel, local government, about the opportunities of the blockchain technology world. As a result the cost and time required to properly incorporate  and comply with local legal and regulatory hurtles is much reduced.

This is a big step in the “The Great Transition” I described in my previous post about moving from the old MSC Foundation to the new community / member driven Omni Foundation.

In the coming week you will notice more and more of the websites, social channels, Github repositories for the community switching over to the new Omni name and terminology. Omni Protocol, Omni Core, Omni Wallet, and Omni Foundation. In addition we will be opening the membership application to the Omni Foundation at the same time we launch the new website.

Thanks for being involved in this effort to extend the blockchain in a whole world of new ways.

Best Regards,

David A. Johnston

Omniwallet Milestone v0.23

brain-on-chip-main

This Milestone marks the completion of the previously mentioned code refactoring project which has been underway for the past few weeks. This allows the team to resume development on a much cleaner code base which will make global wallet interactions simpler for new features and enhancements.

Testing on Phase two of the DEx has been underway by the development team for the past few weeks. We are just about ready for additional testers to start trying out the system. If you haven’t already, take a moment and get yourself setup with a wallet on testnet, then get some test BTC from a faucet. Once you have your test BTC send some to the moneyman (moneyqMan7uh8FqdCA2BV5yZ8qVrc9ikLP) to get some testnet MSC/TMSC.
