Re: Working on a decentralized general artificial intelligence
In my last post, I explained how humans will interact in a decentralized manner to build and evolve our AI. It'll use a DAO. Here's the description of how that Dao, called LegitDAO, will work: https://blog.steve.care/p/the-humans-behind-the-artificial
Re: Working on a decentralized general artificial intelligence
Here's an explanation of how the different actors of the ecosystem work together in a decentralized manner: https://blog.steve.care/p/the-bytescript-actors
The next post will be much more technical and contain code with deployment instructions.

Working on a decentralized general artificial intelligence
Hi everyone,
I've been working on a creating a decentralized general artificial intelligence for some time. Since I believe will be a viable project and I know how to deploy it properly, I decided to release it in steps and document each step properly.
Ill be using this thread to update the documentation, creation and deployment of the project.
Here's a more detailed post about the project: https://blog.steve.care/p/building-a-community-first-artificial
The first step to create a AGI is to first create tools to validate, parse, extract and compose data. So I created a scripting language that do that. Here's a post explaining the syntax of the language: https://blog.steve.care/p/bytescript-a-data-manipulation-software
My next posts will explain the architecture of the script's blockchain-based ecosystem, Ill update this post every time there is an update.
If you have any question about the project, simply post them in comment and Ill answer everyone.
Thanks for your interest in the project everyone!

I built a decentralized legal-binding smart contract system
TLDR: I built a decentralized legal-binding smart contract system. I need peer reviewers and whitepaper proof readers. If you're interested, send me an email to discuss: info@steve.care . Thanks in advance!
Hi guys,
For the last few years, I've been working on a decentralized legal-binding contract system. Basically, I created a PoW blockchain software that can receive a hash as an address, and another hash as a bucket, in each transaction.
The address hash is used to tell a specific entity (application/contract/company/person, etc) that uses the blockchain that this transaction might be addressed to them. The bucket hash simply tells the nodes which hashtree of files they need to download in order to execute that contract.
The buckets are shared within the network of nodes. Someone could, for example, write a contract with a series of nodes in order to host their data for them. Buckets can hold any kind of data, and can be of any size... including encrypted data.
The blockchain's blocks are chained together using a mining system similar to bitcoin (hashcash algorithm). Each block contains transactions. The requested difficulty increases when the amount of transactions in a block increases, linearly. Then, when a block is mined properly, another smaller mining effort is requested to link the block to the network's head block.
To replace a block, you need to create another block with more transactions than the amount that were transacted in and after the mined block.
I expect current payment processors to begin accepting transactions and mine them for their customers and make money with fees, in parallel. Using such a mechanism, miners will need to have a lot of bandwidth available in order to keep downloading the blocks of other miners, just like the current payment processors.
The contracts is code written in our custom programming language. Their code is pushed using a transaction, and hosted in buckets. Like you can see, the contract's data are off-chain, only its bucket hash is on-chain. The contract can be used to listen to events that occurs on the blockchain, in any buckets hosted by nodes or on any website that can be crawled and parsed in the contract.
There is also an identity system and a vouching system...which enable the creation of soft-money (promise of future payment in hard money (our cryptocurrency) if a series of events arrive).
The contracts can also be compiled to a legal-binding framework and be potentially be used in court. The contracts currently compile to english and french only.
I also built a browser that contains a 3D viewport, using OpenGL. The browser contains a domain name system (DNS) in form of contracts. Anyone can buy a new domain by creating a transaction with a bucket that contains code to reserve a specific name. When a user request a domain name, it discovers the bucket that is attached to the domain, download that bucket and executes its scripts... which renders in the 3D viewport.
When people interact with an application, the application can create contracts on behalf of the user and send them to the blockchain via a transaction. This enables normal users (non-developers) to interact with others using legal contracts, by using a GUI software.
The hard money (cryptocurrency) is all pre-mined and will be sold to entities (people/company) that want to use the network. The hard money can be re-sold using the contract proposition system, for payment in cash or a bank transfer. The fiat funds will go to my company in order to create services that use this specific network of contracts. The goal is to use the funds to make the network grow and increase its demand in hard money. For now, we plan to create:
A logistic and transportation company
A delivery company
A company that buy and sell real estate options
A company that manage real estate
A software development company
A world-wide fiat money transfer company
A payment processor company
We chose these niche because our team has a lot of experience in these areas: we currently run companies in these fields. These niche also generate a lot of revenue and expenses, making the value of exchanges high. We expect this to drive volume in contracts, soft-money and hard-money.
We also plan to use the funds to create a venture capital fund that invests in startups that wants to create contracts on our network to execute a specific service in a specific niche.
I'm about to release the software open source very soon and begin executing our commercial activities on the network. Before launching, I'd like to open a discussion with the community regarding the details of how this software works and how it is explained in the whitepaper.
If you'd like to read the whitepaper and open a discussion with me regarding how things work, please send me an email at info@steve.care .
If you have any comment, please comment below and Ill try to answer every question. Please note that before peer-reviewing the software and the whitepaper, I'd like to keep the specific details of the software private, but can discuss the general details. A release date will be given once my work has been peer reviewed.
Thanks all in advance!
P.S: This project is not a competition to bitcoin. My goal with this project is to enable companies to write contracts together, easily follow events that are executed in their contracts, understand what to expect from their partnership and what they need to give in order to receive their share of deals... and sell their contracts that they no longer need to other community members.
Bitcoin already has a network of people that uses it. It has its own value. In fact, I plan to create contracts on our network to exchange value from our network for bitcoin and vice-versa. Same for any commodity and currency that currently exits in this world.

I totally agree with the topic. This is why I like new blockchain projects that use existing technology as their foundation. If you are building a PoS sidechain for example, and you are using Tendermint, I feel a lot more comfortable than someone that just created a new byzantine fault tolerant concensus algorythm from scratch.
This is because I already reviewed Tendermint's code and can focus only on the business code of that new project, rather than the blockchain code itself.
Oh, and I prefer if they use dependencies over forks. Forks can be easily manipulated to inject vulnerable code. Dependencies uses the code that is in the git repository of the project maintainers.
Thanks,
Steve

Bitcoin's value is not entirely tied to its technology, but also to its network of users. There is a big network of physical exchanges that let people buy/sell fiat for bitcoin. This has a lot of value because most people will see bitcoin as the first cryptocurrency they deal with.
The use-case of bitcoin is currently value holding and will soon become a currency for DAO's.
Other crypto-currency will probably increase to a bigger market-cap then bitcoin in the future, simply because their business has more growth potential.
At the end of the day, we need to build bridges between all decentralized projects to make it easy to build projects on top of these foundations... I personally believe that bitcoin will never fall to zero simply because it will be the currency in a lot of DAO's in the future, while the coin of each DAO will operate like a "permit to do business" in the DAO itself.

Steve

Cryptocurrencies are like startups/companies...
If you want to invest time and have the technical knowledge, invest time in reviewing whitepapers and teams. Then join their telegram and ask questions. If they are very active on their project, invest in those that you think will bring in business (and therefore demand on their coin) and HELP THEM build what they are building the best you can.
If you don't have the technical knowledge or simply don't have the time, simply build yourself an "index" of the top crypto to minimize your risk, wait 2-3 years and sell them for profit. It will probably be less risky but it will also probably have lower returns.
Hope that make sense to you.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: I built a blockchain framework that scales, need beta testers. Bounty reward
Your linkedin profile conveys your sincerity that would otherwise have been lost on account of your newbie status on this forum. 
Yeah, I should post on bitcoin talk forum more often. I've been lurking on bitcointalk since 2011 after all
Ill post a post explaining the full project soon. A lot have been developed since this post. Ill begin to post regularly shortly.
Thanks,
Steve
I built a blockchain framework that scales, need beta testers. Bounty reward
Hi guys,
In the last 2 years, I've been very busy building a blockchain framework that enable developers to create custom logic on a blockchain and make it scale.
I have a background in creating software architecture that scales (I built an advertising network that receives 6 billion API requests per day) so I wanted my framework to scale well. I tested it with 1 million transactions per second and it scaled well horizontally, although it requested an insane amount of processing power to validate all those signatures.
I now need beta testers: users and developers. If you help testing the application and try to make it crash by attacking it, Ill give you tokens of the server marketplace once launched.
You can find some more information about the project on our very simplistic website: xmnblockchain dot com
To join the beta program, simply join the newsletter on the website. I just want to make it easy for me to communicate with everyone in the beta program. I won't send anything commercial.
I never raised money using an ICO yet simply because I want to deliver a working product (MVP) before asking money to people. I funded the development all by myself.
I'm also on LinkedIn if you want to see my resume: http://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-rodrigue-a3724895
Thanks a lot in advance guys!

We are building a scalable blockchain to build decentralized applications
During the last few months, I've been working on a new PoS blockchain that can scale to millions of transactions per seconds. I'm currently looking for beta users to test more before releasing in production and potentially add features the community would love to have. If you want to be part of the first users of this new blockchain, visit our website: http://rodrigue.tech
Let me know if you have any questions/concerns and Ill make sure to answer them.
Thanks in advance guys!

Building a PoT (proof-of-trust) blockchain. Please share your opinions!
Hey guys,
I'm a long time lurker here, decided to join and share my new programming project. I'm currently building a new blockchain that will use a PoT (proof-of-trust) algo instead of a PoW or a PoS.
You can see the explanation of the project here: https://github.com/rodrigue-tech/trustchain/blob/master/README.md
Please let me know what you think of the project; your opinions. If you want to join the slack channel to discuss the development, please PM me your email and Ill invite you.
Thanks a lot in advance guys!
