BPL Network Update
by
warbler01123
on 16/11/2018, 03:22:46 UTC
Blockpool Network Update

We've recently discovered some critical issues with vote and block validation in the current code base, which are most likely responsible for the network outage we experienced a few weeks ago. Furthermore, the Blockpool code base makes extensive use of floating point values and arithmetic.

Resolving these issues requires a hard fork of the BPL network, meaning that every node - be it a relay or forging node - must update to the new version of the Blockpool code base.

The BPL blockchain must be rolled back to the latest good height and forging will resume from that point onward. The estimated number of blocks to be rolled back is roughly 200k. All transactions included in these blocks will be replayed on the network and all forging rewards will be reimbursed in full by Blockpool. This means that no-one loses any BPL with this rollback.

This rollback will initially happen with a few forging nodes on an isolated network using the updated code. Once the replay process of the transactions is completed and validated, a snapshot will be provided to the community.

Fixed Rewards

Delegates will be happy to hear that in addition to the fix above, we will be introducing fixed rewards. Delegates will soon receive a fixed reward of 5 BPL for each newly forged block. This temporary change will improve the profitability of running a BPL node, attract more delegates to the BPL ecosystem, and foster a more competitive and healthier network.

Delegates are asked to closely follow our communication in Discord for a detailed schedule of necessary steps, such as shutting down, updating or restarting your nodes. This is in the works and will be made available as soon as possible.

The AudioCoin Marketplace – An Artist’s Journey
by
warbler01123
on 29/10/2018, 18:49:07 UTC
The following post is a work of fiction outlining our work thus far and our vision for the AudioCoin Marketplace.
http://www.audiocoin.eu/blogs/post/the-audiocoin-marketplace-an-artists-journey

Meet Henk. Henk loves music.

So much that he aspires to form a band and record his own album some day. The problem is, he just doesn’t have the resources available for music equipment and lessons.

Henk is constantly listening to music and recently discovered Aurovine – a new way for fans to get rewarded for engaging with musical content online. He searched for his favorite artist on Aurovine, Hypothetica, and learned that he can earn AudioCoin (ADC) for liking, rating, and sharing their tracks on social media.

He liked and shared to his heart’s content, eventually saving up enough ADC to land himself a top spot on Hypothetica’s reward earnings leaderboard. As the top reward earning fan, Henk received an additional ADC payout as a perk and a shout out from the band on social media.

With a fresh stack of ADC, Henk purchased tickets to Sweden’s Live at Heart festival, where he was so inspired by the talent and workshops that he decided he was going to make his own mark in the music world.

Utilizing his ADC stack, Henk enrolled in online music production lessons with Education & Bass. 3 short months later he was producing his own original tracks and impressing his Education & Bass instructors. Henk made such a mark that he was invited to play his first gig at a live Education & Bass event, where he met some like minded individuals and went on to form a band, Henk and the Coolkids.

Henk and the Coolkids continued liking, rating, and sharing their favorite music on Aurovine, earning enough to purchase gear, record and master their debut album, “Decentralized Love” at the prestigious  Miloco Studios.

They published “Decentralized Love” on Aurovine and the album was such a hit that the Aurovine team invited Henk and the Coolkids to perform at Aurovine Artists’ Night in London. The recording was captured using OpenLIVE recording technology, and then uploaded to Aurovine to be liked, rated, and shared by Henk and the Coolkids' fanbase.

Henk now rewards his own fans with AudioCoin for liking, rating, and sharing his songs through Aurovine.

The AudioCoin Marketplace has taken Henk full circle.

The Univeristy of Manchester and BLOCKPOOL Partner to Combat Human Slavery
by
warbler01123
on 29/10/2018, 17:46:29 UTC
BLOCKPOOL, together with the University of Manchester, UNSEEN, The Hartree Centre, and CDD — a leading compliance and due diligence technology firm — have proposed The Blockchain and the UK Modern Slavery Act (BC4MSA), whose goal is to develop a blockchain system capable of mapping forced labour intelligence nationally and internationally.

While slavery was largely abolished in the 19th century, modern day slavery is still is an unfortunate reality throughout the world. According to the International Labor Organization and Global Slavery Index:

“An estimated 40.3 million men, women, and children were victims of modern slavery on any given day in 2016. Of these, 24.9 million people were in forced labour and 15.4 million people were living in a forced marriage. Women and girls are vastly over-represented, making up 71 percent of victims. Modern slavery is most prevalent in Africa, followed by the Asia and the Pacific region.”(1)

Many of these people are working under forced labor conditions on fishing boats, construction sites, farms, in factories, or in the sex industry. The products made under forced labor conditions can often end up in commercial channels selling anything from textiles and electronic devices, to groceries.(2)

An investigative report by UK’s Sky News showed children as young as 4 years old mining for cobalt with bare hands and feet for a meagre ~10 cent daily wage in the Congo.(3) Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Company is the world’s largest buyer of so called “artisanal” cobalt from the Congo. Until very recently, Apple and Samsung purchased Zhejiang Huayou’s cobalt to manufacture batteries that go into smartphones, computers, and other consumer gadgets.(4)

Blockchain technology makes BC4MSA a compelling solution for a number of reasons. Firstly, it enables a trustless system where the integrity and availability of the network is not reliant on any single party. Secondly, the light-weight nature of blockchain technology enables efficient information sharing, minimizing investment and maintenance costs in the long-run. Lastly, because the data is encrypted using multi-signature technology, there is a lower risk of data breaches and confidentiality issues as compared with centralized databases.(5)

BC4MSA is designed as a secure data provenance solution that tracks forced labor incidents as ‘transactions’ on a blockchain. These transactions store information about where and when a labor violation occurred, who was involved, and the type of violation. This data would then be verified by a UK-based NGO (ex: Unicef, Save the Children) or a welfare support officer, and then escalated to a criminal case with law enforcement. Forced labor incidents could also be shared between welfare support teams and investigative units in different countries to catch offenders red-handed throughout the world.

The 10-week delay from the initial launch date of November 1st will enable the development team to integrate technology from its newest industry partners, which include OpenLIVE, Education & Bass and Miloco Studios.

“We want to innovate and by integrating these leading technologies into Aurovine, the platform provides a unique full service music discovery, sharing and monetization platform as well as a market place, all enabled by blockchain tech.” said Aurovine co-founder David Blundell.
 

“We're giving artists a leading edge platform to showcase their music and get rewarded for their creativity and giving fans the opportunity to get rewarded for engaging with artists and their music.”

To coincide with the launch of the platform, Aurovine is launching regular Artist Showcase evenings with the inaugural showcase on November 30th, 2018 at “Off the Cuff” in London, UK.

Fans attending will be given bonus AudioCoins (ADC) in their Aurovine wallets, and Aurovine will be showcasing new technology to revolutionize the way we approach grassroots live events. The line-up for the first Aurovine showcase event will be released in the coming weeks.

Finally, the official Aurovine Launch Party will take place on February 1st, 2019 in London, UK.

Our grassroots sporting partner, WOOOBA (World One-on-One Basketball Association), is announcing their WOOOBux (WBX) token sale. Built using BLOCKPOOL.IO Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPOS) technology, the WBX ecosystem rewards amateur athletes for attending and participating in grass-roots and brand-sponsored sporting events using a geo-location powered phone app. Leading with basketball, then football/soccer and other sports, WBX incentivizes the world play more sport.

The WOOOBA app provides grassroots sports players with a free Player Profile and Wallet (WOOOBux and standard/fiat currency) to connect and reward people for playing sports. Through the WOOOBA app players connect to organize pickup games - without having to send a flurry of emails. The event organizer - who could be an individual athlete or a brand/company - configures the event using geo-location and player participation parameters, and then funds the event with WBX tokens to reward players for showing up and playing.

In the world of pickup sports, one player is usually the main scheduler / organizer who pre-pays to rent out a sports hall, pitch, or tournament venue. The WOOOBA app also lets game organizers collect rental fees from other players, saving time and letting players focus on the game. The WOOOBA app is available through the Apple App store at: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/woooba/id950447591?mt=8

WOOOBux helps get anyone into a more active, social sports life.

The WBX Pre-TEC is now underway until October 31st, which includes a % discount + up to 200% bonus on token purchases.

1% of all WBX tokens sold will be donated to sports charities.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your questions - please see the answers below:

what are total supply and POS apr? tnx

The current circulating ADC supply is ~925 million.

Question: Do I need to leave my computer running for the coins to be staking?

Yes, the wallet needs to be running and unlocked for staking, but that doesn't need to be your desktop computer -  you can also have it running on a VPS.

The current stake rate is 18% / year (1.5% / mo).
