Blockchain Powered Content Sharing Marketplace Rally Launches Airdrop Offering 2 Billion Rally Tokens

Rally, a user-centric marketplace for content sharing built on Ethereum, has just started the Rally Airdrop with an allocation of a whopping two billion Rally coins as rewards for new users joining, referring and engaging. The platform is dedicated to revolutionizing the concept of content sharing through transparency and decentralization, bypassing digital monopolies and empowering individual users by placing them at the center of the value chain.

August 08, 2018

Rally is delighted to announce that their much awaited Rally Airdrop has now gone live. A content sharing platform like none other, Rally has built a platform that rewards its users for sharing and engaging with content they like for crypto rewards. Rally Airdrop is open for all, and all potential users can now join and start earning Rally tokens immediately. With two billion (forty percent of overall tokens) allocated as Airdrop rewards, Rally claims this to be the largest bucket of token allocation in the industry.

“Centralized social platforms have created hundreds of billions of dollars of value through the contributions and actions of their users, unfortunately users received none of this value,” said James Cashiola, the Founder of Rally. “We are changing this; ninety percent of all Rally Coin is being allocated directly to marketplace participants, we want the broadest adoption possible with the most transparency possible.”

The ongoing Rally Airdrop provides a not-be-missed opportunity for users to earn Rally Tokens. There is no limit to the amount of tokens that can be earned by joining, referring and engaging. The purpose of the Airdrop is to build the Rally community while facilitating the distribution and sharing of rewards to all stakeholders.

To truly reward users for the value they create, Rally has implemented a new incentive system called Community Royalties.  This program rewards users not only when they refer new users, but also each time their referred users earn tokens.

The Rally Coin can be used by the users to:

  • Redeem prizes, goods or services from advertisers.
  • Accumulate tokens for a higher rank, receive badges and awards.
  • Send tokens to other users on the platform.
  • To promote their content and incentivize other users to engage.
  • Sell back to advertisers.

The advertisers will be able to use Rally Coin as a payback system to:

  • Put an advertisement through the Rally website.
  • Reward users sharing or liking their content.
  • Buy back tokens from users through rewards and special offers.

Rally has built its content sharing platform based on the Ethereum blockchain to address the critical requirements such as transparency, security, incentives and attribution. Use of blockchain will allow them to record user contributions and reward actions that boost the value of the platform. The proprietary token of the platform is known as the Rally Coin (RALLY).

About Rally: Rally is dedicated to reclaiming content sharing, taking it back from social media platforms, attributing fair value to it, decentralizing it and putting power back in the individual’s hands. The platform rewards users to distribute an advertiser’s content to their individual social network. This allows the advertiser to shift their advertisement budget to the user who, by sharing the content, gives it their recommendation and increases its effectiveness.

Blockchain Rendering Startup Out Paces Its Competitors in Early Benchmark Tests

While news in the crypto space aren’t rife with record-high market caps, the underlying technology, that is the blockchain, is having quite a year. After a prolific and record-breaking year in 2017, new blockchains funded by the ICO model, are the main attraction for the crypto movement.

So far this year, there have been more than 700 projects that collectively earned nearly $18 billion. In just a short period of time, the blockchain space became a crowded place.

With that new arrangement, there is growing debate about the qualities that set blockchain startups apart from one another. In a very real way, their ability to deliver on their promises is becoming an increasingly important differentiator. People are becoming fatigued by platforms making grandiose promises with little technical ability to deliver on their ideals.

Meanwhile, other platforms are acquiring a devoted following and are demonstrating technological capabilities that show that they are ready to lead the charge in the decentralized economy.

One platform, Leonardo Render, had a big week in this regard. The blockchain startup, which provides graphics rendering services that are facilitated by the token economy, is set to launch its public presale in less than a month.

Before the launch, the company put its network through an important stress test to ensure that they are capable of delivering a high-end product when their public sale begins.

Test Results Are In

Leonardo Render put their network to the test against eleven prominent competitors including Amazon Web Services (Renderbot), Fox Render Farm, Turborender, RebusFarm, Paperspace, RenderRocket, Render4You, vsocloud, Render Street, BlenderGrid, and Anima Render.

Surprisingly, many of these platforms failed to perform the desired task because they were inaccessible due to login issues or other accessibility shortcomings. Ultimately, only three of the eleven platforms completed the rending tests.

These problems are especially surprising given the high-caliber companies involved in the benchmarking and their established place in the industry.

To create a level testing field, each platform attempted to render two images, a BMW photo and a standard Koro Blender image. The three companies that successfully rendered the Koro imagine took between 15 – 20 minutes to complete the test, and the effort cost $1. The BMW image rendered significantly faster, taking just three minutes and costing $0.20.

Meanwhile, Leonardo Render outperformed the market in both instances. The Koro image was completed in seven minutes, and the BMW image rendered in just two minutes. In addition, Leonardo Render performed both tests significantly more cheaply than its competitors, costing just $0.22 and $0.06 respectively.

Although Leonardo Render is a functioning platform with an existing client base, it’s still in the startup phase. However, it wholly outperformed industry incumbents.

Interpreting the Findings

The blockchain industry is producing a flurry of startups that are delivering mixed results when it comes to actual platform implementation. The chasm between companies that claim excellence and those that deliver on this promise is growing ever wider, and Leonardo Render’s latest benchmark test places them solidly among the companies delivering on their premise.

Moreover, Leonardo Render addresses an important cultural concern. With more professionals leaving corporate jobs in favor of a freelance career, many are without the technological capabilities that their corporate jobs once provided. As a result, third-party rendering services are in high demand. The most capable and affordable services will play a pivotal role in this sector’s proliferation.

The combination of an exceedingly competent platform and an in-demand service is the recipe for effective blockchain proliferation. As the growing cadre of blockchain companies is sorted, these are bound to be the defining characteristics that separate successful startups and well-orchestrated flops.

Splitt Introduces Advanced Cryptocurrency Cloud Server for More Profitable and Safe

Crypto Mining

Splitt, a recently launched cloud server cryptocurrency mining service, is now making crypto mining user-friendly and safe like never before. Available currently in fifteen cities around the world, Splitt’s Cryptocurrency Cloud Server is steadily gaining popularity amongst the amateurs as well as experts looking to mine cryptocurrencies on a larger scale.

August 7, 2018

The global crypto mining space is currently abuzz with the launch of a new cloud server cryptocurrency mining service named Splitt. Developed taking the future of cryptocurrency mining into account, this service introduces an all new approach to carry out cryptocurrency mining at home without any hassles whatsoever.  With its highly sophisticated Cryptocurrency Cloud Server, Splitt prioritizes on offering a standardized, high-performance cloud computing environment in all fifteen cities they are serving at present.

Over the last decade or so, Bitcoin mining has become extremely popular amongst the crypto enthusiasts around the world. The process involves solving complex mathematical calculations via computers to receive a block in the blockchain and Bitcoins. However, due to the recent increase in the number of miners, Bitcoin mining has become extremely competitive. Responding to this situation, the Bitcoin network has increased the difficulty level of their puzzles.

The changing landscape of bitcoin mining demands optimized mining techniques to ensure profitability. Splitt offers mining services with ASIC integrated chips that are faster compared to GPU and CPU mining, and consume less power. Their cloud mining service requires no hardware, and utilizes shared processing power from data centers. Unlike the traditional mining techniques that require constant maintenance, Splitt makes mining cost-effective, more efficient and flexible for the miners.

Some of the most important features of Splitt include

  • Better Pricing: Users need not wait for their equipment or deal with issues such as pool fees and system crashes. Hash power once purchased is retained for the entire duration of the contract.
  • Transparency and Service Delivery: Splitt follows the highest level of transparency and ethical standards, and discloses everything to the public. The company is easy to locate and their staffs regularly attend a number of events.
  • Mining Different Coins Simultaneously: Users can mine different coins with their purchased hash power. Allocation of hash power between the coins is completely flexible and simple to choose.
  • Three-tier Affiliate System: Users can earn commission for deposits of their downline up to the third level
  • Bonus System: Depending on the turnover of their first line, users are offered bonuses up to 10 BTC.

Splitt users have the option to choose from three different mining contracts with different rates of interests as mentioned below.

  • Dynamic Cloud Mining: 2.64% daily, hourly misc.credit, 0.001 BTC minimum deposit, and 25BTC maximum deposit
  • Bare Metal Simplified:5% daily, every twelve hours misc.credit, 0.025 BTC minimum deposit, and 50 BTC maximum deposit
  • ASIC Mining 4.7%: 4.7% daily, daily misc.credit, 0. 5 BTC minimum deposit, and 500 BTC maximum deposit

In order to enhance the user experience of their customers, Splitt has recently launched their mobile application that can be downloaded from Google Play. This useful Android app allows the Splitt users to continue cryptocurrency mining on the go.

Splitt also has a flagship Telegram channel to help users broadcast their messages to a larger audience. More about this Telegram channel can be found at https://t.me/splittchat_en

Splitt is the result of months of hard work by a twelve member international team led by its CEO Patel Nguyen. A self-made man who has worked his way up from the bottom, Mr. Nguyen is currently one of the most admired experts in the South Asian cryptocurrency fraternity. The company’s CTO Mr. Kim Lee is a Bitcoin mining expert who was actively involved in identifying certain deficiencies in the process that were later addressed with the founding of Splitt.

“Flexible multi-algorithm cloud mining and alternatives to mining Bitcoin are just a few reasons to use Splitt’s services,” says Mr. Patel Nguyen. “We understand that mining of Bitcoin is difficult due to competition and the complexity of cryptocurrency algorithms. Minimal hardware, equipment, less consumption of electricity as well as easier travel and movement are some of the benefits you can expect while using Splitt.”

About Splitt: Splitt offers a user-friendly alternative to cryptocurrency mining from home at any time. It is suitable for amateurs as well as cryptocurrency experts working on a larger scale. The cloud mining service offers a fresh alternative to traditional means of cryptocurrency mining. The company’s priority is to offer a standardized, highly reliable, and high-performance cloud computing environment in all of the fifteen cities they serve at present.

Iranian Coin Bad for Crypto says Modulus Global CEO

“Less than two weeks after the industry kicked back against statements made by Congressman Brad Sherman, Iran’s government is angling to prove him right. He’s wrong, of course. It is utterly ridiculous to paint an entire industry with the broad brush of crime and corruption. But, undeniably, the industry needs to work harder to prevent the malfeasance of bad actors,” said Richard Gardner, CEO of Modulus Global.

“Fraud is bad — really bad. But what’s brewing in Iran will make industry enthusiasts yearn for the scandals of Turcoin. Fortune, yesterday, reported that Iran is moving ahead with a national cryptocurrency. Let’s be clear: Iran is no friend of crypto. After considering the use of Bitcoin last year, the country’s central bank torpedoed the idea, as well as the general concept of digital currency. Then, in an even more extreme move, they began clamping down on financial institutions involved in crypto. It is said that the action was taken to stop capital flight. Iran’s policy, clearly, was driven by national interest and worry over the strength of its fiat currency — not technology. And, now, as the country begins to signal its openness to cryptocurrency, it is driven by fear of sanctions. If Iran does, indeed, move forward with a national cryptocurrency, the whole industry should find itself uncomfortable with the arrangement,” continued Gardner.

Shortly after the firing of the former governor of Iran’s central bank, Alireza Daliri, who hails from the technological directorate of the Iranian Presidential Office, has been quoted as saying, “We are trying to prepare the grounds to use a domestic digital currency in the country. This currency would facilitate the transfer of money (to and from) anywhere in the world. Besides, it can help us at the time of sanctions.”

“Since 1984, Iran has been considered a state sponsor of terrorism. If and when the country launches its own cryptocurrency, it will, undoubtedly, be used to that end. Brad Sherman has made a lot of outrageous claims about cryptocurrency, but if the community does not wholly condemn this terrible, and likely tragic, misuse of the powerful technology within our industry, the industry will, in the court of public opinion, become complicit in the misdeeds of a nation which is an enemy to the libertarian ideas from which the crypto revolution was born. In closing, I would call on the rest of the crypto industry to denounce the actions of the Iranian government as contrary to the spirit of our industry. This is one moral test which we cannot fail,” concluded Gardner.

Bx3 Co-Founder Tapped as VIP Advisor to TokenMatch Kyle Asman to Serve as Key Advisor for Select Initial Coin Offerings

Kyle Asman, co-founder of Bx3, a business advisory firm for the blockchain and cryptocurrency space, has been chosen to be a VIP Advisor for TokenMatch, a program designed to introduce promising new Initial Coin Offering (ICO) projects  to investors.

In this role, Asman is responsible for reaching out to ICOs on joining TokenMatch events, and for providing these projects with the services they need to start a viable business, including with regards to tax, legal, finance, compliance, and marketing.

Asman has extensive experience helping clients raise capital in the finance, banking, and regulatory consulting segments and most recently, has developed complex international tax structures in the tax advisory space. He has held investment banking, regulatory consulting, and transfer pricing roles at Liquidity Energy, Duff and Phelps, and Ryan LLC, a global tax firm. He is also a Venture Capital investor in multiple startups.

At TokenMatch, an elite group of ICO teams present to small groups of investors that have the capacity and mandate to deploy capital. Investors come by invitation only and ICO teams are preselected through a rigorous process. For those who want to allocate capital, their job is to find investable, credible projects related to blockchain and cryptocurrency. Investors review 21 separate projects, and listen to a new pitch every 20 minutes. Set in a boardroom, the small size is the ideal setting to interact, provide and receive feedback, negotiate, and close deals in one day.

“TokenMatch has devised an innovative model by creating an intimate environment between those who want to seek capital and those who want to allocate it,” says Asman. “This as a much more efficient way to vet projects since it eliminates a lot of unnecessary travel and time since investors don’t have to schedule three days over numerous cities to see some of the best programs in the industry.”

The program also serves as an ideal networking event for blockchain startups, as it allows ICOs to learn about each other and form partnerships. To date, TokenMatch events have been held in New York, Hong Kong, and London.

In a similar role, Asman was chosen earlier this year to be an advisor for Daox, an ecosystem for ICOs, where he provides weekly guidance on the ICO process in general.

OSA Token Sale Has Finally Begun!

The highly anticipated OSA Token Sale has finally begun!

OSA DC continues to unite consumers into a single powerful community, giving them power over the manufacturers and retailers of consumer goods, so that consumers can determine what products they really want, when, where, and at what prices. OSA DC is continuing to receive international media attention and receive high ratings.

After a long wait and a private pre-sale, the OSA Token sale finally begun and it will last until the 21st of August or until tokens are sold out. We started the sale with more than 15 795 registrations from 141 countries and new ones have kept on coming ever since. A soft cap was reached and we are proud to announce that $12.81 million was raised. OSA DC innovations have attracted attention from top Asian, world blockchain, and AI leaders. Our sales team participated at more than 57 huge events, representing OSA DC among industry leaders, contributors, and leading media!

More than 80,000 participants joined the OSA community and now the time has come! Together we will each contribute to the platform, giving us the necessary tools for our own data usage, in order to lower prices, encourage retailers to provide better product quality, better delivery, better service, and ultimately, a better shopping experience!

You can find more information on how the sale is going and sign up to buy OSA tokens on the official website.

What has OSA Token achieved so far?

We understand that people cannot put their faith in a new cryptocurrency if there is no solid proof of a strong company behind the token which will push it to the top.

The OSA DC platform provides consumers with transparent product information and online assistant services. OSA DC’s AI-powered ecosystem gives manufacturers and retailers the chance to collaborate effectively and optimize their business strategies.

Our goal is to use the capital raised in the token sale to support and develop the existing solution with image recognition models and a comprehensive product master data catalogue. We will implement it on our AI-powered, decentralized blockchain platform and scale it accordingly, beginning with the largest markets: The United States, China, Japan, and South Korea, and eventually, worldwide.

Consumers will be able to use OSA tokens to pay for B2C services, receive exclusive promotional offers and, of course, purchase groceries at major supermarket chains in Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region. Managers at partnering supermarkets agree with OSA’s founding team of data scientists that cryptocurrencies, including OSA tokens, will be a standard, widely-accepted form of payment at grocery stores and other retailers worldwide.

Existing Business

The platform has developed services that have already helped more than 20 European retailers and manufacturers, including eliminating product waste to drive revenue. It has already been implemented with some of the biggest retailers and manufacturers to eliminate product waste that accounts for over $800 billion in lost sales and discarded goods each year.

Since the company’s founding in 2015, OSA DC has generated more than $1 million in revenue by partnering with 20 retailers. The company provides services to major international brands including Coca-Cola, Mars, L’Oreal, Nestle, and Metro Cash & Carry.

Now we are seeking to disrupt the $25 trillion global Retail industry.

Establishing the world’s first decentralized, AI-driven data marketplace, OSA DC will provide business-to-business and business-to-consumer solutions for Retail.

New Partnerships

TaaS partners with OSA DC to support the company in building its global smart consumer platform.

OSA DC is creating significant developments for the Retail industry with a global data marketplace and practical, real-time solutions for retailers, manufacturers and consumers. This is certainly worth the support of TaaS, who focuses on supporting blockchain projects that disrupt global industries.

This long-term partnership will bring value to the decentralized and Retail industries alike, as both organizations work to enrich OSA DC’s solutions for the benefit of the international community.

Dalongpay – Fiat Payments are Accepted by OSA DC During Token Pre-Sale and Sale

OSA DC has established a partnership with DalongPay, a payment platform bridging the gap between crypto and traditional currencies. Approximately 15%-20% of current ICOs use fiat for contributions. The service will be greatly beneficial to the OSA DC community, as they can now easily purchase OSA tokens with fiat currencies using the platform.

It’s the first step OSA token sale participants can take towards becoming smart consumers on the OSA DC platform. They will enjoy easy access to liquidity and a reliable way to participate in the ecosystem, even without prior cryptocurrency experience.

Benrui Capital

Benui Capital is jointly established by blockchain industry technical experts, professional investors, VC/PE practitioners, etc., focusing on technology-driven investment banking services in the blockchain field. At present, there are more than 10 investment and service blockchain projects. There are branches or strategic partners in Singapore, Japan, and Silicon Valley. OSA DC is partnering with Benrui Capital for better technology development.

Magnit

The non-profit retail industry cooperative Efficient Consumer Response Europe (ECR), Russian retail giant Magnit, and some of the world’s leading retail manufacturers have partnered with OSA Hybrid Platform. The project will be installed in 100 retail outlets in Moscow, and the system’s alert signals will be processed by each store’s own employees. It will allow its users to detect the absence of on-shelf goods in-real time, and they can transmit this information to merchandisers in stores to correct these situations. If the test results are satisfactory, Magnit will implement the technology throughout the territory of Moscow and the Moscow region for its grocery stories, family stores, and hypermarkets.

Why Blockchain Should Break Free From Cryptocurrencies

For those outside the FinTech sector, blockchain is known simply as the thing that makes Bitcoin happen, if they know about it at all. Blockchain is indeed the technology that powers cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but they’re not the same thing, and that distinction is important to recognize.

Blockchain has far more to offer than just securing cryptos; distributed ledger technology (DLT) can actually provide the foundation for any number of applications. Blockchain enables end-to-end data encryption for the highest level of security and can streamline processes by eliminating the need for third party verification of transaction. Any industry can benefit from these capabilities.

Additionally, Bitcoin and other cryptos are still in the bubble stage; value has been volatile, the market has been flooded with new ICOs in the last couple of years and most financial experts are wary of the concept.

For instance, billionaire investor Warren Buffet recently stated that Bitcoin offered no intrinsic value and that buyers were “speculating” rather than investing. Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase, has also expressed his doubts about Bitcoin.

However, Buffet’s BSNF railroad company joined the Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA,) a group comprising over 200 freight and logistics organizations interested in incorporating blockchain across their industry. Dimon has emphasized that despite his opinion of Bitcoin, he does believe that “the blockchain is real,” and in October, J.P. Morgan Chase launched a blockchain-based system designed to reduce transaction times.

Buffet and Dimon’s fellow titans of industry are all recognizing the benefits of blockchain outside of cryptos, which is important when bringing it to the mainstream.
A recent IBM study found that one-third of C-Level executives are using or considering blockchain technology in their organizations. Global spending on blockchain technology is predicted to reach $2.1 billion this year alone, according to IDC.

Healthcare, real estate, government, arts, energy, cloud computing, ridesharing—you name the industry and you can bet it’s experimenting with blockchain. Faster processing, better data security—what company wouldn’t want those gains?

While some are working on developing their own proprietary blockchain offerings, many of the major tech companies and VC firms are backing the concept of shepherding other companies through the process of adopting blockchain. Companies like Amazon and IBM are partnering with blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) providers to create white label solutions that handle the heavy lifting of implementation for their customers. With the buy-in and sometimes backing of the tech giants, BaaS companies like DragonChain and Kaleido are perfecting blockchain models and creating interchain capabilities to get more and more companies on board.

Blockchain has already proven itself as useful apart from cryptocurrency. In fact, in the very near future, look for more pure play blockchain offerings aimed at issues beyond payments and coins. In fact, with over 1500 coins on the market, most emerging ICOs are going to be less valuable currency and more a means of funding. Investors should do their due diligence on this in particular, lest they prove Mr. Buffet’s “speculation” comment true.

Ultimately, the growth arc of blockchain will bend toward building this best in class standard of security and trust directly into systems by using blockchain, rather than relying solely on methods like marketing and customer service to build trust with customers. End-to-end encryption, decentralization and consensus—these things will become the default in the post-blockchain era. Even when/if the crypto bubble bursts, blockchain will not only stand on its own, but define the next generation of data management.
