[ANN] Eximchain: MIT Grads Launch Blockchain-Enabled Supply Chain Solutions
by
capa
on 06/10/2017, 20:33:49 UTC

Supply chains have changed dramatically over the past 20 years, but supply chain management has not. It is estimated that shareholders lose over $5.2 trillion in potential revenue each year due to the lack of transparency, connectivity, and agility in the global supply chain.

A group of MIT graduates thinks there’s better solution. The Eximchain project started in 2015 at MIT with the mission of providing blockchain-enabled tools to transform the global supply chain by integrating SMEs and increasing transparency. (They received valuable mentorship from the MIT Media Lab, made it to the final round of MIT $100K Accelerate Competition, and completed the Plug And Play Fintech Accelerator.) After graduating in June and publishing their whitepaper, the team began searching for their first use case in Asia, where SMEs are heavily concentrated.
 
With the goal of powering the supply chain of the future, Eximchain will create a smart-contract-based ecosystem that allows companies to quickly build customized, end-to-end supply chain solutions with data privacy. Different participants can derive different values from the ecosystem: sourcing platforms or rating agents can use the Proof of Existence (PoE) functionality to demonstrate data ownership without revealing transaction information, suppliers can seize early payment discounts from downstream buyers to improve working capital, and logistics partners can automate the reconciliation process across different systems to save time and reduce cost.
 
Eximchain’s first large user base comes from Trade Manager, a Big Data platform that helps buyers find suppliers based on their transaction records. A pilot is scheduled to make blockchain-based Supply Chain Sourcing solutions available to over 50k SME users on the Trade Manager platform. The $20m Eximchain is raising this round will be used not only to build out the product but also to empower the SME community and to set a new standard for enterprise use of blockchain solutions in the global supply chain.

Ya I had a Google there are other companies like Xoom. But for now I think I'm going to just take the hit on bank transfer fees.

Thanks for your reply.

Can we send a unit to Luke-Jr so he can take a look at it?

Maybe bfgminer can fix some of these issues?

order #118x - received shipping confirmation today.

EDIT - the attached invoice seems to suggest that each SP30 in the group buy is "worth" $3686.21.  does that mean we will receive compensation/refund of $813.79 per SP30?
compensation email says:

We are offering two options for compensation:
1. A cash refund for the full $809.19.
2. A coupon for 21% of the price paid for your machine, which is $944.06, to be applied to purchases from the October batch SP31 Yukon.

Same here order #119x

I got some chili from MrTeal still up and running Smiley they did not "ROI" yet (LOL) so I moved them to a " free energy" location.

I would be interested in some of their cousins if only to show around what mining is ..

These are in the uk (no free power for me here)

free to collect, or postage at reasonable cost

Thanks for the offer Mudbankkeith, for me it's more a case of fixing Luko's trust rating so that no one else gets hurt.

Re: Hacking The KNC Firmware: Overclocking
by
capa
on 20/07/2014, 22:00:06 UTC
My master plan has been thwarted once again Smiley

An AVR Dragon JTAG programmer can program Altera parts.
Programming a part is less complicated than debugging a running part in circuit.

It is _NOT_ recognised by the Altera software that I was going to use to try and snoop.

I threw $17.00 to the wind,
I ordered a clone of the Altera cable.
In ~20 days I'll know if that was wise or not.

The real deal 'cable' is $300 USD. What I want to try may need the real deal.

The whole snooping the FPGA is highly dependent on if they set it up that way.
I gambled $17 that early FW has access for KnC debugging.


Other clock related data.
The oscillator on the ASIC PCB that(I think) the ASIC uses as input reference for it's PLL is 25MHz.
The 28nm has 4 oscillators @ 25 or 250MHz.
I cross-referenced to 250 back when, but now have doubts seeing the 25MHz part on the 20nm PCB.

For the very bold, can try a slightly different osc.
Ideally a freq synthesizer instead of osc. to explore.
One might expect terrible results down that rabbit hole.
If it is the input clock for the ASIC, it's part of a tuned system on the ASIC.

Additionally,
I think the r/c components for the on die PLL are on the bottom of ASIC PCB.
If you examine bottom of PCB closely can see 2 very tiny parts(per die) that do not fit pattern of filter caps.
Again someone very bold can try the 'pencil trick' on the PLL resistors, if that is what they are.
Will need a microscope, VERY SHARP PENCIL, and very steady hand.
(assumes can tell which is cap and which is resistor)

The 'pencil trick' is just using graphite from a pencil to lower resistance on a SMD resistor.
You literally draw across top of resistor with pencil.
Lowering resistance of an r/c circuit speeds it up at a cost of more current.
Slight changes can be too much, it depends on design.
DIfferent hardness pencil can have different result.
It is often easily reversable with spit and finger.

Stalled clocks can be a bad thing!
I DO NOT ADVOCATE changing parts on the PCB!!!
Food for thought though.

YMMV
Smiley

EDIT:
temporarily unthwarted, got a gizmo that kinda works on the Altera JTAG.
(but not with the Altera Quartus IDE yet)
Must forge some 'USB identification papers' for the thing I think.
Using openocd at the moment. (built in pun in the name!)
Also discovered that KnC made it trivial to do JTAG interfaces WITH the BBB.
('might only' require a cable from one end of PCB to other)

Thx KnCMiner!

The bar is kinda high for my skillset but I blunder on! Smiley
Prolly another instance of,
'tolip opens mouth, changes feet'



Keep up the good work Tolip Smiley

According to: http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/blocks.php

http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1Gu8zxRi8cyENV8CQe52D7QEsiZ7ruT73u

found two blocks and is owed 103 BTC.

http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/17JkL94B2ngJg4QQZuiozDQjnxXB6B7yTc

found five blocks and is owed 122 BTC.

These stats do not seem out of the ordinary.

Maybe wizkid can enlighten us as to how he has deduced that these addresses below to the block withholder.

To be clear, I'm not on anyone's side here and have suffered a 50 BTC loss from eligius' bad luck. I'd just like to know all of the facts and how wizkid came to his conclusions.

5 of the 7 blocks you mentioned were discovered after the potential scam or custom mining software mistake was discovered and the miner notified (May 3rd). It might have been that he fixed or change the mining software or that he stop the scam once he was discovered. The problem is with all the time he spent mining before that time without submitting any shares that were found.

Every eligius block is tagged with "Eligius" ..

I'd like to see the BTC 200 from Eligius and 300 from Blockwitholder put in escrow and a trusted 3rd party audit carried out.

I'd rather this was done than some witch hunt / trial by media.




Agreed! I was just about to move my TH's to Eligius, but seeing this information has me a bit worried about doing so.

So you would prefer to have a pool owner that does not protect the pool?  

You trust the pool owner to control the BTC 99% of the time but do not in this case?  Either you trust the pool owner or not.  ABSOLUTELY NO need for escrow in this situation.  

It's not a case of trust, it's about doing the right thing. Behaving in an honest and open fashion.  The innocent party has nothing to fear from my suggestion. Your rapid defense of Eligius may be admirable, but in this it is misguided.
