So I have a few technical questions if I may on the blockchain technology, and how it fits into insurex:
As I understand (and please correct me if Im wrong), confidential private insurance information won't be stored on the blockchain itself, but in the Nosql storage instead? So things like pricing, parties involved in an insurance deal, addresses and contacts of people will be stored in Nosql and not on the blockchain?
But everything else data wise will be written onto the ethereum blockchain? So things like:
- the whole marketplace where people buy and sell (with smart contracts implemented) - actual insurance contract information - terms and conditions for insurance contracts which can be issued via smart contracts (like Corda is able to do for banks now) - portfolio info - analytics
So what you're doing is having a hybrid..where some data is on ethereum, but other data is kept on a normal database, and the two meet together in an UI, built on normal application languages (node.js etc).
So the follow on question then would be: what type of backups/redundancy or contingency plans will you have if the ethereum network has issues? For example, bottleneck issues which we've seen recently. If a lot of data is purely on ethereum, and ethereum slows down or has other problems (which is possible because its still a third party and a work-in-progress), companies wont be able to access what they want
In essence, how are you ensuring data integrity and the ability to access the information a company needs on insurex in case something goes wrong on the blockchain or somewhere else?
What are your anticipated insurance transaction volumes on the insurex platform once the concept takes off? Because ethereum at the moment is showing some slowdown at 300,000 transactions a day (obviously that will improve with updates)
I would think some insurance companies would also want to use a sidechain to store their insurance information. So have their own private blockchain maintained in the cloud which covers all its sensitive information etc instead of a centralised nosql concept. So they would get the benefits of blockchain, but also keep control over their data in case things go wrong with a more standard public blockchain tech like ethereum
Im thinking something like Factom's blockchain technology to store insurance information as an add-on to insurex would also be good, so data is stored securely in an independent way, but also a smart way.
So..insurex is a great concept but I have some questions there....it doesnt say enough in the whitepaper about the extent of the blockchain implementation and whether everything's been thought of in regards to contingencies and how the control, safety and security of the data on it will work

Re: [ANN] Crypviser - The Most Secure Solution For Confidential Interactions
You guys are running all this on your own servers, people have to trust you guys to keep the servers running this is not decentralized where people are running the network. The coin is payment to use your guys' service. This is a centralized network where you guys hope people will use your service and then pay you, then I'm guessing you guys will sell that back to the market. Is this right? I see why this project is not getting much support. Crypto goes hand in hand with decentralization, people own the network that way corruption can never occur. Corruption occurs due to centralization, sorry but you guys are a centralized organization creating a centralized project. NO THANKS.
@Crypviser - could you address the above points?
Thanks.

How vulnerable will this project be to any attempts by governments to ban, or at least regulate, end to end encryption?

Re: [ANN][KMD][dPoW] Komodo - Zcash Zero Knowledge Privacy Secured by Bitcoin
Is the 'wallet seed' referred to on the opening screen of the GUI the 12 word passphrase that was generated on the ICO site?
If not, presumably you need to click on 'Create new wallet' on the opening screen and if so I assume a field to import the 12 word passphrase/seed then appears.
Thanks for any help

I assume that the 12 word passphrase that was generated on the ICO site (https://ico.komodoplatform.com/) is the 'private key' referred to in 'import one private key' in the Komodo Swing Wallet (v. 0.7.8 ) drop down menu. Is that correct?
Thanks.
That is correct I did that and it worked. Create a transaction to yourself to claim the intrest
Thanks CHMEX
When you open your wallet, after 'Verifying proving key' and 'Loading block index', do you get an 'Activating best chain' process and, if so, about how long does it take to complete?

started the wallet app and 1st process to appear on the screen was 'Verifying the proving key' followed by 'Loading block index' after ~ 20 seconds of which the following errpor message appeared:
Quote
A general unexpected critical error has occurred. Error: couldn't connect to server: EOF reached (code 1) (make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port) See the console output for more detailed error information!
How do I check that the server is running and that I'm connecting to the correct RPC port?

It is enough that you control the privatekeys. You don't have to use any particular wallet. You could just have an offline wallet and you would still receive the JUMBLR asset.
I've downloaded and installed the Windows version of the Komodo Swing wallet
Which of the various application files (e.g. komodo-cli and komodod) do I click on to run the wallet?
Thanks.

Having 'received' the payout some weeks ago I've been waiting for the new bug free Agama wallet to be released. Assuming it isn't by the time of the Jumblr asset distribution, will I still receive the asset?
Thanks

Some potentially interesting (I put it no higher than that) points of comparison between Lisk and Statis
I wonder where the limit is starting because all previous charts based analysis are thrown away by the Stratis unbelievable continuous performance. My position is very good and am long term supporter to Stratis but taking profit is also inevitable part of any investment. Each time I try to sell some part of my holdings it shows good performance and I go for another long on.
I feel the same way! I will always be a long term holder of stratis but at some point I will want to sell a little bit, the big question is when
Well looks like a lot of you guys decided you can't take the rise and dumping now. I wish I had my buy orders set in further down, I should have known whenever everyone here talks about STRAT going up 100 times, it always takes a dump..Oh well I am holding for the longer term so will not be phased by the the numpties.
