TAU-CHAIN – Programmable decentralized P2P network based on ontologies and reasoning

By Judith Jakubovics- BizDev at the Omni Foundation

Dear Omnis

It’s turning out to be another exciting and productive week! The Omni Foundation is privileged to provide a platform to so many innovative projects.  Omni allows for the issuance of Smart Properties and assets on the Bitcoin blockchain, and we like to share some of the leading projects using the platform and protocol.

Today, I would like to introduce TAU CHAIN

“If law-making is a game, then it is a game in which changing the rules is a move.” – Peter Suber presenting Nomic

Tau-chain is a fully decentralized P2P network being a generalization of many centralized and decentralized P2P networks, including the Blockchain. Its interpretations, uses, and consequences are far from being a P2P network only, and include software development, legal, gaming, mathematics and sciences, logic, crypto-economies, social networks, rule-making, democracy and votes, software repositories (like decentralized Github+Appstore/Google Play), decentralized storage, software approval and verification, even “doing your homework in History or Math” in some sense (stronger sense that search engines), and many more aspects.

Tau Chain uses the language of Ontologies to unify the languages of:

  • Knowledge
  • Rules
  • Logic
  • Computer Programs
  • Network Protocols

The Software Client

a) Stores the ontology of local rules

b) Determines the actions using a REASONER

Reasoners

a) Are tools that infer new rules or conclusions based on old ones

b) This is done intelligently, using pure logical reasoning + supply proofs of the                  results.

TAU CHAIN NODE – is therefore, an intelligent agent that is able to communicate with other agents, at the very same language which is human readable.

TAU CHAIN NODE can communicate with other languages, like HTTP, once implemented in RDF.

τ -chain node is an intelligent agent able to communicate with other agents, at the very same language they’re written with, which is quite human-readable. It can communicate with other languages as well, like HTTP, once implemented in RDF.

The rules of the network are determined by its users. Conversely, many independent “universes” can be created over τ -chain, that may or may not share τ ’s timestamping. They can also reference to each other, allowing code-reuse: recall that rules are code, since Tau Chain has a unified language. Moreover: it provides an ability to implement Decidable computer programs w

ith RDF, namely DTLC languages rather Turing Complete ones.

The implications τ -chain node is an intelligent agent able to communicate with other agents, at the very same language they’re written with, which is quite human-readable. It can communicate with other languages as well, like HTTP, once implemented in RDF.

Arrow of time is brought into the network using the Blockchain algorithm. Items can get into a Merkle tree that will be signed by a miner, roughly speaking.

The network will also function an RDF-speaking distributed storage, namely Kademlia DHT, letting hashes of items to be time-stamped in a mechanism which is up to the rules of those languages will be described later on.

Synereo – AMP-Attention Economy- Crowdsale is launching today March 23,2015

By Judith – BizDev at the Omni Foundation

Synereo crowdsale is launching today – March 23rd 2015, 8:00 PM GMT.

Synereo Evolution (CoinTelegraph)

The AMP token is a cryptocurrency deployed as a meta-coin on top of the bitcoin blockchain, using the Omni-Layer.

The value of the AMP token comes from its inherent use in the Synereo network, as a means for paying for user attention.

To understand more, please visit here: http://blog.synereo.com/2015/03/22/amp-economy/

The Synereo crowdsale is supervised by the Omni Foundation. The Omni Foundation has access to all transactional information, with their executives serving in the role of trustees for the AMP tokens. Synereo has no access to these funds without their approval.

Synereo is taking great care to secure and safeguard all funds for this crowdsale and beyond.

This document will detail the policies and mechanisms put in place for this purpose as well as for the AMPs issued and not yet distributed.AMPlogo PICTURE 2

AMP Wallets

The entire amount of issued AMPs, one billion (1,000,000,000), will be generated by Craig Sellars, Co-founder and CTO of Tether and Technologist for Omni.

Craig will act as trustee for all initial AMP transactions, under a multi-sig solution requiring his approval to be used, allocating them to different wallets. Craig will further act as a trustee and evaluator for some of these wallets, as described below. Craig will oversee AMP use and ascertain that it is done according to the following bylaws.

AMP wallet distribution

Wallets holding AMPs to be distributed will be published before the crowdsale begins and remain transparent to the public.

The following wallets will require Craig Sellar’s direct authorization as well as his participation in the creation of the transaction when AMPs are released from it:

1) Crowdsale Wallet. Upon the completion of the crowdsale, Craig will overview  the records and approve that AMPs are sent only, and in direct proportion to the funds submitted, to the participants in the sale.

2) Future Crowdsale Wallet. This wallet will be sealed until such a time that we announce another public offering or come into a formal agreement with an established investor to purchase AMPs.

3) User Reward Wallet. This wallet will be sealed until the Synereo platform goes live, at which point it will be used to compensate users who migrate to the network.

4) Content Creator Reward Wallet. This wallet will be sealed until the Synereo platform goes live, at which point content creators will be able to register for the reward program. AMPs will only be sent to the addresses made public by these content creators upon their registration.

AMPs will be divided to wallets with this distribution: 

  • 18.5% will be placed in the Crowdsale Wallet.
  • 10% will be placed in the User Reward Wallet, used to compensate users as they join the network and invite others, contributing to its growth.
  • 7.5% will be placed in the Content Creator Wallet, given to content creators who begin operating on the network.
  • 10% will be placed in the Founder Reward Wallet, awarded to the founders of Synereo, vested over a period of 30 months.
  • 11.5% will be placed in the Bounty Wallet, awarded to contributors and developers.
  • 42.5% will be placed in the Future Funding Wallet. We aim to have two more funding rounds, spaced 1-1.5 years “amapart, each providing the necessary funds for the next leg of the project’s development.

Staggered Distribution 

The User Reward Wallet and Content Creator Wallet may only distribute the allotted rewards in a staggered manner, over a period of six months. This assures that rewards will not be quickly liquidated, increasing the chances of them being used in the Synereo platform and contribute to the AMP economy.

Users with accounts that are eligible will receive their weekly allotment during this period.

The Founder Reward Wallet will also distribute funds over the longer period of time of 30 months, as also described in the Vesting clause of the Synereo Ltd. Founder Agreement. Each month, the founders will receive 1/30 of the AMPs allocated to them.

Generation of new AMPs

As part of the Proof of Social Contribution (PoSC) mechanism, up to 5% more AMPs will be generated each year (note that this is lower than the year after year growth in both user numbers and market value for social networks over the past 15 years). AMP generation will also depend on the approval of Craig, making certain that this cap isn’t crossed.

Unsold AMPs

If the cap is not reached in the upcoming crowdsale, unsold AMPs will return to the Future Funding Wallet, holding the AMPs kept for future crowdsales and investments. This wallet can only be accessed pending the review of Craig, who will have to ascertain that their use is as defined.

Multi-signature mechanism

All bitcoins received during the crowdsale will be kept in a multi-sig wallet, generated by Armory Lockbox on offline and/or air-gapped machines. Transactions cannot be generated unless 3 out of 5 keys are used to sign it.

This protects the funds received from any one point of failure, whether theft, the loss of a key, or the inability of one holder to access the wallet.

Three of the keys will be held by the Synereo founders.

One key will be held by Meni Rosenfeld, the Chairman of the Israeli Bitcoin Association, and one of the most trusted figures in the crypto community.

Another key will be held by another trusted third party, to be revealed shortly.

Review of contributions in fiat

Participants wishing to contribute in fiat may do so by sending a wire transfer to Synereo’s company bank account. All details will be available on the crowdsale page, at crowdsale.synereo.com.

We will periodically post the information of such received funds with the details of the contributors hidden. The Omni Foundation will receive read-only access to Synereo’s bank account, certifying that the wires reported have indeed been received.

Unique Bitfinex selling account
[in preparation]

Existing wallets:

  • Crowdsale Wallet (185000000 AMPs)
  • User Reward Wallet (100000000 AMPs)
  • Content Creator Wallet (75000000 AMPs)
  • Bounty Wallet (115000000 AMPs)
  • Future Funding Wallet (425000000 AMPs)

THE HOPE GOLD COIN, A NEW ASSET-BACKED CRYPTOGRAPHIC CURRENCY CREATED TO SUPPORT CHARITIES

Synereo is a next-gen social network

By Judith Jakubovics – BizDev at Omni Foundation

Dear Omnis,

It’s turning out to be another exciting and productive week! The Omni Foundation is privileged to provide a platform to so many innovative projects.  Omni allows for the issuance of Smart Properties and assets on the Bitcoin blockchain, and we like to share some of the leading projects using the platform and protocol.

Today, I would like to introduce Synereo.

Synereo is a next-gen social network that puts security, identity, and community management directly under the purview of you – the user, respecting your attention and rewarding you for your activities on the social network.

With current social networks, you are not the client. You are the product being sold. The value you create by being a part of the network flows upwards immediately, reaching only a select few: those in control of the network. With Synereo, a completely decentralized and distributed network, you are in control. The value you create, provide and share stays in your hands.

Why Synereo?

Synereo is a next-gen social network. It is:

  • Unconstrained by the financial desires of its operators
  • Impossible to take down
  • Rewarding for content creators
  • As private and as unmonitored as you want it to be
  • Devoid of any center of control
  • Designed to value your attention through direct compensation
  • A better system for social organization online
  • 1_feed_discusss -PICTURE 1

Synereo’s Token, The AMP: A Voice Amplifier

AMPs, the application tokens for the Synereo network, serve as a way to Amplify the flow of information in the network, increasing its organic reach and allowing it to get to propagate to more peers.AMPlogo PICTURE 2

The AMP

Who benefits from Synereo?

You, the user. By participating in the Attention Economy, you receive tokens that you can use to Amplify your voice or to sell on the market. These tokens have an inherent value, as they can be used to increase the chances of a message getting a user’s attention. The more you do for the network, the more your attention is worth.

You, the content producer. Through direct compensation for user-generated content, Synereo puts users back in control of their content, to rise and fall directly on the support and passion of its community. Synereo makes it easy to find your communities and grow your project on your terms.

You, the advertiser. Advertisers allocate significant resources in an attempt to optimize the reach of their campaigns and outsmart content delivery algorithms. An entire ecosystem of advertising middlemen profit from programmatic advertising; buying and selling ad spaces, bidding for your attention in real time, using retargeting mechanism and attribution models, and generally adding nothing to the quality of the content.

Synereo will provide advertisers with the full set of tools necessary to reach their natural audiences, decimating the costs otherwise lost to both these advertising middlemen and to the centralized platform.

Here are some ways to get your first AMP tokens

1) You can buy AMPs during an initial crowdfunding phase which will fund the development of Synereo and its deployment. The crowdsale will be supported by the Omni Foundation, and will begin at X.2.2015.

2) Registering for Synereo and migrating your information from an existing social network account.

3) Expanding Synereo by inviting users who register on the network and migrate to it.

4) Bounties. People working to contribute to the development, deployment, and expansion of the network will receive AMP rewards for their efforts.

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.

Factom – simple yet critical technology on Master Protocol

By Judith Jakubovics- BizDev at the Mastercoin Foundation

Dear Masterminds,

Factom is a simple, yet critical technology for leveraging the power of Bitcoin Blockchain.

What is Factom?

The goal of the project is to build a protocol stack, beginning with a proof of existence layer, and ending with a layer providing proof of process.  All of which is secured with the Bitcoin block chain, without adding a significant number of transactions to the Bitcoin block chain, nor requiring any changes to the Bitcoin protocol.

As Peter Kirby- President of Factom explains: “Factom is a simple extension of the Bitcoin Blockchain that lets you build faster, cost effective applications with limited bloat”.

With clever use of cryptography Factom  will limit the size of the blockchain without losing any of the information it contains.

Factom is essentially a P2P network using a BitTorrent-like protocol, running on a system of federated servers. These servers all audit one another continuously to make sure they’re following Factom’s rules, and all of them are compensated in cryptocurrency for their services.

Once that’s established, anyone with the proper client program on their computer device can get and verify the information they need  to run for a decentralized application. You just need to be connected to the Internet, and–as it continues to decentralize–you’ll soon be able to do everything you need without worrying about silly things like “blockchain bloat.”

Factom is using the MSC Platform to issue the digital token associated with the Factom protocol.  Upon completing all the layers, Factom tokens will be converted to native coins running on Factom.  In fact, they may even be able to help improve the speed and reduce the cost of MSC transaction by running synced MasterCore nodes on the Factom platform.

Here are some advantages to running MasterCore on Factom:

1) The Factom blocks are hashed into the Bitcoin block chain, so they are just as secure as Bitcoin transactions .

2)Reduction Load on the Bitcoin Blockchain, thus unlimited MSC transactions can be performed on Factom for each entry placed in the block chain.

3)Federated servers allow for millisecond processing of MSC transactions that currently take quite a long time on the Bitcoin block chain, thus fast transaction processing

4) Secure transactions – All transactions of MSC will require cryptographic signatures.  This means even if the federated servers wanted to misdirect MSC transactions, they could not.  They will not have the private keys to do so.

5)Simplified protocols -The flexible entry format means that MSC transactions (as well as many other applications) can clearly add all the data and entries required to support the Master protocol.  Factom  allows the flexibility to construct transactions exactly as required by the application rather than force them into an awkward encoding scheme.

The HOPE Gold Coin is a powerful entrant and participant in a disruptive technology that has the potential to transform the global financial services industry. It is unique in its purpose to benefit society and in its ability to raise the standard of living and quality of life for all by actively supporting the aspirational missions of a broad spectrum of charities, foundations and non-profit entities dedicated to addressing universal social, environmental, health, food, economic and similar problems that impact the lives of people worldwide. Through decentralized cryptography, the HOPE Gold Coin eliminates the need for banking intermediaries while significantly lowering transaction costs, potentially liberating poverty stricken economies around the globe by providing access to capital to the one-third of humanity that now has no access to financial services.

Market Opportunity As people grow more open to new ways of paying, there is a rise in the ubiquity and legitimacy of virtual currencies. The most prominent of these currently is Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer digital currency that has been called ‘potentially world-

changing’ by eminent cryptographers. However, Bitcoin’s reputation for price volatility, security questions, and concern for facilitating illicit activities are all issues the Bitcoin community must resolve before cryptographic currencies like Bitcoin can go main stream as universally accepted digital currency. That process is well underway. Virtual currencies like Bitcoin are gaining a real-world presence and prominence as they become more accepted as a unit of exchange and means to purchase. But there is still room for significant improvement, which represents a real opportunity for the HOPE Gold Coin.

With surging interest from prominent investors and growing acceptance from governments, regulators, merchants, customers and the general public, there is a burgeoning market and increasing customer demand for virtual currencies.

This is especially true for a superior, stable, safe and secure crypto-currency that enjoys major points of differentiation and distinct competitive advantages and benefits, that is also freely transferable as a unit of exchange and means to purchase.

There is a much larger potential market for a stable, safe and secure crypto-currency with an intrinsic value backed by gold reserves and resources, and insurable against loss due to theft or negligence that allows more transparent transactions, is freely transferable to other currencies and resistant to radical price fluctuations, as well as

that resolves market and government regulatory concerns about the ramifications and consequences of the myriad illicit and trust related activities benefit directly

Introducing Hope Gold Coin- The Festival of Hope and The Master Protocol

Introducing La’Zooz – a new project integrated on the Master Protocol

By Judith Jakubovics – BizDev at the Mastercoin Foundation

Dear Masterminds,

Transportation and traffic jams are basic parts of our modern lives.

These are exactly the issues that the La’Zooz team are dealing with. It will save our precious time and money, will reduce global pollution, will require less investment in infrastructures and much more…

So what is the La’Zooz project?

The name of the project: La’Zooz,  means to move.

The token of the projcet is : Zooz,  means : move

It is all about smart ride sharing and collaboration.

La’Zooz  will synchonize empty seats with transportation needs in real time to create a great ride-sharing experience for a “fair” fair.

Less cars on the roads, less global pollution, less expenses on infrastructures – really AWESOME.

La’Zooz is creating a Decentralized Transportation web that will not only be run by the community, but it will be owned by the community. “Fair share” and “fair fare” were two of the basic values that led La`Zooz team in its creation process.

La`Zooz is using the bitcoin 2.0 technology in order to distribute abundance to as many contributors that will come and by that La’Zooz is opening the floodgates for developers designers and users.

La`Zooz will move its “Proof of movement” mining Android App into Beta stage.It  will enable people who believe in ride sharing and other smart transportation solutions to change the way transportation on planet earth looks like.

La’Zooz is introducing one of the better schemes  for a shared economy, as a decentralized organization that can grow exponentially with no outer limitations.

Here are some tweets and quotes about La’Zooz – I am sure that you don’t  want to miss these :

http://lazooz.org/  will take care of trust for us all and the #blockhchain will see @uber to the door. @lazoozorg “

Introducing La’Zooz – a new project integrated on the Master Protocol

Introducing Bitlov – a new project integrated with Mastercoin

By Judith – BizDev at the Mastercoin Foundation

Dear Masterminds,

The Master Protocol brings a lot of good to the crypto world

Today, I would like to introduce you to another  interesting project that is integrated with the Master Protocol.

Bitlov is a digital currency automation platform that utilizes a predominately trustless network of decentralized, distributed autonomous agents called Rubrics. Bitlov empowers individuals and organizations to determine where money goes and when by simplifying the process of setting rules within contract templates, to write simple-to-complex transaction routines based upon various factors, such as: budget, pre-defined triggers, formulas, times, recipients, and more.

Bitlov uses Pockets as sub-wallet accounts, for the purpose of managing money for various purposes (assigned to each individual Pocket), which can be shared with other users (applicable for companies, families, organizations, etc.). In addition, Pockets function as programmable wallets. These wallets provide Bitlov users the ability to perform basic tasks such as schedule transactions as well more advanced protocols, such as scripting their own complex, conditionally-based transactions. As an example, a Bitlov user might create a script that does not allow a payment to be released until: (1) it has been authorized by a specified third party; (2) before a specified date; and (3) only if a trusted data source reports that a specified company’s stock value reaches a certain threshold.

More practically, however, Bitlov’s Pockets will spawn a proliferation of transaction types and simplify the process of launching businesses in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Uses of Bitlov Pockets can be envisioned in a variety of arenas such as: data brokerage, online marketplaces, social networking, wagers or payments made to IT contractors for machine-accessible services rendered. Some examples of the latter might be set-up to: speed-up an algorithm, increase the accuracy of a predictive model or sending a specific number of visitors to a specific website address.

In today’s world, web applications represent the majority of software projects. These applications need a simple way to connect to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Over burdened developers do not have the time to learn new languages, or worse, convert to an entirely new development paradigm. To maximize their efforts developers should be able to use the tools and technologies they already know and understand. These developers aren’t looking for a new Internet, but they do want to start moving toward decentralized applications so as to take advantage of the new technologies.

Bitlov is, therefore, creating the Rubric Service Network (RSN) to provide developers access to a variety of crypto-currencies, in a consistent manner. This is accomplished using open source tools and protocols. By leveraging existing tools Bitlov saves developers significant time, whilecreating an easier to use (and maintain) network for users. Utilizing existing standards also means application developers are exposed to an interface with which they are already familiar.

This will enable the large number of existing web applications to quickly and easily implement innovative new applications that utilize cryptocurrencies and block chains.

The RSN is designed to operate as a Decentralized Autonomous Community. Once initial development is completed, the network will generate fees and circulate those fees to the ones providing the infrastructure and development to ensure its continuation. The goal of the RSN is to incentivize running a Rubric as well as funding development and maintenance of the network. Without layers of management and marketing expenses, the RSN will be able to provide these services at a rate conventional businesses cannot provide. In addition, as it’s decentralized,developers do not have to worry about a relying upon a single entity to provide the service.

The Bitlov platform is for anyone who uses money — in particular, digital currency. Oneday, everyone will be using digital currency, but until then, our job will be demonstrating the superiority of various alt coins, by providing a platform that fully realizes their potential withfeatures that are currently impossible with analog money.
