  • SkyPrivate, First Live Adult Entertainment Company to Adopt Layer 2 Technology— zkSync— for Crypto Payouts

    SkyPrivate, First Live Adult Entertainment Company to Adopt Layer 2 Technology— zkSync— for Crypto Payouts

    SkyPrivate, known as a fintech solution in the adult industry, becomes the 1st company in this niche to offer Models a layer 2 payout solution via zkSync technology.

    The high congestion on the Bitcoin network — leading to transaction fee spikes and delayed payouts — is what made them start looking for a layer 2 scaling solution in the first place.

    Since less stuff on the chain would automatically translate into fast transactions and lower fees.

    But why zkSync?

    First of all: UX. Being both a pioneer and an advocate for crypto adoption, SkyPrivate looked for a solution that would determine even more Models to start choosing crypto payouts.

    For this to happen, they knew that the new payout option for Layer 2 had to be very easy to use, super intuitive, and error-tolerant.

    Luckily, zkSync is perfectly compatible with any Ethereum wallet and delivers a lightweight experience. It’s as end-user-centric as it is developer-friendly.

    Secondly, real-time transactions were a decisive factor. SkyPrivate promises 24-hour Bitcoin payouts to its Models and studios, a promise that, at times, it was impossible for them to keep due to network congestion.

    But using zkSync as a Layer 2 scaling solution means instant confirmation on transactions, fast finality (within minutes), and withdrawals to Layer 1 in 15 minutes at most.

    Security is another factor: storing funds in a zkRollup is as safe as saving them in Layer 1.

    Last but not least: it’s the significantly lower transaction fees, which are designed to stay low on the low run.

    Lower fees that now get reflected in the minimum balance required for L2 payouts on SkyPrivate: it has dropped to $50.

    Now, the fact that it was the first company in the adult space to break the ice and to jump on the trend of using Layer 2 technologies for its crypto payouts before it has even turned into a trend, came as no surprise.

    Why? Because SkyPrivate is already known as a disruptor company in the adult niche:

    • One of the very first cam sites to offer payouts in Bitcoin
    • The only company in the adult industry building user-friendly payment tools on top of existing communication channels such as Skype, Discord, Telegram
    • The live cam site with the most impressive collection of crypto payout methods: Bitcoin (Layer 1), Ethereum (Layer 1 and Layer  2), USDT, and USDC L2 payouts

    And apparently the list of “premieres” doesn’t end here.

  • Shivom, co-founded by Harvard genomics pioneer George Church, launching the world’s first DNA NFT marketplace

    Shivom, co-founded by Harvard genomics pioneer George Church, launching the world’s first DNA NFT marketplace

    London, United Kingdom, 25th April, 2021, Chainwire

    The marketplace is said to provide options for people to take control over their own genetic data, supporting research projects for the greater good. It also lets celebrities donate a portion of their proceeds to charities, providing their fans with an exclusive opportunity to own unique memorabilia.

    Shivom, the global marketplace for genomic and healthcare data that operates with the OMX token, is rolling out the world’s first NFT marketplace for genomic data. NFT is an acronym for “non-fungible token”, a blockchain technology that can be “minted” to document digital ownership of an underlying physical or digital asset that constitutes a unique tamper-proof certificate of authenticity. Many experts expect NFTs will play a central role in the healthcare data sharing economy, and Shivom is at the forefront of this revolution.

    “We are delighted to launch the world’s first genomic NFT marketplace to enhance our offering in the field of precision medicine”, said Dr. Axel Schumacher, CEO of Shivom. “While NFT markets were usually focused on artworks and decentralized finance (DeFi), we moved the whole field into the healthcare space, empowering individuals to take control over their own genetic data. Proceeds from the sales are shared with charities and research projects tackling genetic diseases that plague humanity. We will raise awareness for data sharing to fight rare diseases and offer people the opportunity to participate proactively in scientific progress”. 

    It is Shivom’s mission to move NFT technology from the collectible realm into scalable economies that provide real use cases such as medical research. Sharing one’s genome data enables the option of providing genomic information (or parts of it) in an anonymized form to research, supporting the scientific exploration of the genome. Sharing health data will help the global science community in its mission to understand, prevent, detect and better treat disease. Whenever an NFT of one’s DNA is created, a certain percentage can be set as royalty for secondary use, for example when pharmaceutical companies request licencing of said data.

    Gourish Singla, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Shivom said: “Just like our genome information that is unique to each individual, an NFT is a one-of-its-kind asset that is non-fungible in nature. As such, tokenizing genetic data makes perfect sense”.

    Producing NFTs out of their genome, celebrities are offered a completely new way of giving something back to their fans and at the same time being able to raise money for the greater good. For the collectors of memorabilia, it is a unique chance to literally own pieces of their favorite social media influencers, athletes, musicians, or movie stars. It is planned that all NFTs developed on the marketplace will be fully compatible with Shivom’s already existing precision medicine platform that also functions as a secure vault for the genome sequence. A part of all proceeds will also be invested to build the OMX healthcare crypto ecosystem to revolutionize global healthcare systems, providing an opportunity for everyone to harness the potential of an equitable and truly borderless healthcare economy. The ecosystem will drive adoption, facilitate partnerships, ensure stakeholder accountability, and help to grow the global OMX token-based health community, particularly in emerging healthcare systems.

    The company expects the first sales in early May. Interested parties can already sign up on the NFT website.

    The new NFT marketplace will complement Shivom’s already existing data sharing and data analytics ecosystem, which helps to accelerate precision medicine, drug discovery, and translational research into a new era of democratized healthcare. The Shivom platform operates with smart contracts for adding business rules, automation, data provenance, access permissioning, audibility, and establishing trust through decentralized data logging. Shivom also provides an epidemic preparedness solution designed to generate research that enables rapid health responses to the current COVID-19 pandemic as well as to future pathogen outbreaks. 

    About Shivom

    Enter a new era of precision medicine, transforming how lab & clinical data is shared and analyzed. The Shivom platform, leveraging the healthcare $OMX token ecosystem, is a revolutionizing data & algorithm marketplace that combines secure and global multi-omics data marketplace, with an easy-to-use, drag & drop bioinformatics & AI platform.

    Headquartered in London, UK, Shivom’s mission is to build the world’s largest genetics & precision medicine data marketplace, empowering the research community to challenge the status quo, making scientific breakthroughs available to patients worldwide. Shivom’s ecosystem of partners and customers spans several continents including a major European Precision Medicine consortium.

  • Razor Network Partners with Litentry to Support Multi-chain Decentralized Identity Aggregation

    Razor Network Partners with Litentry to Support Multi-chain Decentralized Identity Aggregation

    Singapore, Singapore, 23rd April, 2021, Chainwire

    Razor Network to provide its validator network to Litentry for verification of data sourced from multiple blockchains.

    Razor Network, the first truly decentralized oracle network for dApps has partnered with Litentry, a cross-chain Decentralized Identity (DID) Aggregator. The partnership will allow Litentry to utilize Razor’s Validator Network to verify the authenticity of data collected from multiple blockchains for its DID Aggregator.

    As one of the leading oracle networks, Razor Network offers reliable and secure real-time data feeds for smart contracts used in various decentralized applications. It is a blockchain agnostic solution that is designed to ensure data integrity through a reliable validator network. All validators on the Razor Network contribute to enhanced security and self-regulation for assured data fidelity by staking RAZOR tokens.

    Creating a Single Decentralized Digital Identity

    On the blockchain, DID represents a unique ownership identifier that enables users to access various services, including credit lending, KYC verification, DAOs and more offered by different dApps. In the absence of universal standards for dApps, and the use of different blockchain systems leads to creating multiple DIDs for a single entity. Litentry DID Aggregator makes it easier for users and applications to manage digital identities by integrating DIDs from various networks and standards into a single platform. In addition, Litentry also enables anyone to upload and share their identity-verification algorithms on the network, which helps streamline the entire process of DID indexing, authentication, linking and aggregation within a single service.

    The Razor Validator Network will act as a completely decentralized third-party DID data verifier. It will ensure the accuracy of digital identifiers collected from different blockchains before feeding it to the Litentry smart contract.

    While announcing the partnership, CEO of Razor Network Hrishikesh Huilgolkar said,

    “Litentry is fulfilling a crucial role in the blockchain industry today. With identity data being scattered over multiple blockchain protocols, Litentry aggregates all this information in one place and ensures that the user experience of identity management on DApps is as seamless as on Web2.0. We look forward to helping Litentry on this journey by verifying the authenticity of the data that Litentry aggregates. Growing together with projects which share a similar vision with Razor has been one of our primary goals, and Litentry fits the bill perfectly.”

    Hanwen Cheng, CEO of Litentry Network, said about the partnership, “Razor is providing trustless data for decentralized protocol and applications, We are excited to work with the Razor network, and looking forward to creating a fair and attractive mechanism for data providers to indexing identity-related data.”

    The use of a highly secure, decentralized Razor Validator Network eliminates the necessity of involving centralized third parties and accompanying potential single points of failure that could compromise private information. Litentry will also be able to maintain complete transparency throughout the data procurement and aggregation process.

    About Litentry

    Litentry is a cross-chain Decentralized Identity (DID) Aggregator built on the Substrate framework. It links user identities from multiple blockchain networks to create a decentralized, verifiable identity aggregation service that removes the redundancy of code and the hassles involved in resolving agnostic DID mechanisms. Litentry’s DID Aggregator is compatible with all DID standards and powered by a reliable DID data interface. Everyone can build and submit DID methods to Litentry, making identity data easily accessible in the Web3.0.

    About Razor Network

    Razor Network is a decentralized Oracle network, which provides secure and reliable real-world data feeds for various blockchain-based applications and services, such as Decentralized Finance, Identity, Insurance, Prediction Markets, and so on. Razor’s performance is superior and more secure than traditional centralized oracle services, as Razor relies on a network of Validators for verifying data authenticity and ensures maximum game-theoretical security.

    ​Bitcoin is regarded as the leading cryptocurrency and is seen by many as the most profitable. Many companies have begun accumulating bitcoin, with Tesla recently purchasing vast amounts of Bitcoins.

    Making a profit with Bitcoin is not as easy as it seems. The volatile nature of bitcoin means that assets purchased can quickly dip in value, and there is a report that 90% of day traders lose their money. One way to make good profits from bitcoin is via mining. 

    Cloud mining an innovative concept for miners

    Bitcoin integrates a mining mechanism that secures its blockchain. Miners are required to process transactions by offering their computing power to solve complex algorithms. In return, they are rewarded when a new block is created with new bitcoins.

    Despite the immense profits that can be made from mining, it is an arduous process that requires expensive machines, technical knowledge, and maintenance costs. This makes crypto mining out of the reach of the average crypto enthusiasts.

    A new solution that has emerged is cloud mining. Cloud mining enables anyone to mine cryptocurrencies without owning the necessary hardware. Given how expensive crypto mining is, cloud mining has become the preferred option for many in recent years.

    You don’t have to worry about maintaining expensive mining machines, and all that is required is to pay a fixed fee to have a cut from the cloud mining company’s profits. There are several cloud mining platforms in the market, and Nhash.io is among the best available.

    Nhash making cloud mining accessible with user-friendly plans

    Nhash has emerged as one of the top cloud mining platforms with years of experience providing top-notch cryptocurrency mining systems. The platform offers computer power to users to mine bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies.

    Nhash has an entire team of engineers, developers, and specialists that ensure that all runs properly and investors are offered the best possible mining pools to reap sustainable rewards. NHash website is user-friendly and easy to use for the average crypto enthusiast.

    The cloud mining platform offers some of the most affordable pricing plans that ensure users can begin mining without a huge capital. With as low as $70 you can purchase a mining plan that offers a 2-day contract with no maintenance fee and expected returns of up to 10% on investment.

    Other plans include the $200 plan, a 7-day contract with returns of 6%. The mega plan costs $2000 with a 30-day contract and returns of $2000+500, and the 5000$ plan offers a 45-day contract with no maintenance fee and expected returns of $5000+2000.

    What is unique about NHash.io is that it offers cloud mining services without charging maintenance fees that is the norm on other platforms. It also provides a higher return on investment than other platforms, and investors are guaranteed their funds.

    Nhash has an active customer support system available on live chat and email to resolve problems, while the FAQ section helps users fix common issues. The process of registration on NHash is also quick, and it only takes a few minutes to register.

    If you want to enjoy quick, affordable cloud mining, you can take advantage of the current promotion offered by Nhash. New users that signup are granted a free $30 coupon when they purchase any cloud mining plans. To learn more about NHash and purchase cloud mining plans, visit its website at www.nhash.io.

  • NFFT Blocks Will Be Revealed & Fillable This Week

    NFFT Blocks Will Be Revealed & Fillable This Week

    It has been a rollercoaster journey, and things are about to pick up even more steam! The day we’ve all been eagerly awaiting, the moment of discovery has arrived! On April 23rd, we will be hosting the Big Reveal. This means everyone who purchased an NFFT in the blockverse will find out the rarity of their block. We’re excited about this and perhaps a little anxious, and no doubt you are too.

    When we launched NFFTs, we weren’t sure what to expect. But with 400 unique wallets joining the Blockverse in less than 12 hours and 70% of all blocks sold within the same day and instantly decentralized, we realized this was going to be big.

    With your support, questions, and feedback, we’ve been able to clarify our next steps and plan for Phase 2, but more on that later on!

    Revealing The Blocks

    When we first came up with the Blockverse, we wanted to ensure that everyone in the community had an equal chance of owning a rare block. We designed the sale to ensure purchased blocks would be assigned randomly, and no one would know the rarity of their block or location until the Big Reveal and the end of the Block sale.

    With blocks in seven tiers ranging from Common blocks to the rarest of them all, Genesis blocks, there was no better way to ensure fairness than with this randomization.

    So far, it has worked out brilliantly well, and we are almost ready to unveil the Blockverse.

    Soon, you will know the rarity of the blocks you own and unlock their “fillable” quality.

    No matter which block you get, owning an NFFT block alone is a great thing. NFFT tokens are the next-gen thing in cryptocurrency, a significant development on the original NFT smart contract with its fillable functionality. Have you ever accidentally used a permanent marker on a dry erase board? Well, that’s the NFT; once it’s there, there’s no removing, and you’ve ruined the board. While the NFFT easily comes off because you used the Expo marker.

    After next week’s Big Reveal on April 23, the blocks you purchased will become fillable. So start thinking about what you’d like to fill them with. The sky’s the limit of the kind of content you can feature in your block. Block owners can customize each block’s title, URL, image, description, and more as a reminder.

    Once the Big Reveal takes place, we will prepare to sell off the remaining unclaimed NFFT blocks. The blocks will be available for purchase at a fixed rate, depending on their rarity. Prices will be posted on the platform so you will know the block’s location in the Blockverse before you make the purchase.

    Excited? Anxious? Impatient? So are we, and there’s so much more to come! The decentralized community group is getting everything for the most anticipated event – the Genesis Block Public Auction will be the culmination of NFFT’s phase one launch and officially move us into Phase Two.

    Keep your ear to the ground and stay tuned for the latest developments. Announcements will be posted on Twitter and Discord, so make sure to connect with us there! Finally, remember this is a community-driven effort; please engage with all polls and votes on the future direction for the Blockverse!
