Dai Whitepaper Introduction
Popular digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) are too volatile to be used as everyday currency. The value of a bitcoin often experiences large fluctuations, rising or falling by as much as 25% in a single day and occasionally rising over 300% in a month.

The Dai Stablecoin is a collateral-backed cryptocurrency whose value is stable relative to the US Dollar. We believe that stable digital assets like Dai Stablecoin are essential to realizing the full potential of blockchain technology.

Maker is a smart contract platform on Ethereum that backs and stabilizes the value of Dai through a dynamic system of Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs), autonomous feedback mechanisms, and appropriately incentivized external actors.

Maker enables anyone to leverage their Ethereum assets to generate Dai on the Maker Platform. Once generated, Dai can be used in the same manner as any other cryptocurrency: it can be freely sent to others, used as payments for goods and services, or held as long term savings. Importantly, the generation of Dai also creates the components needed for a robust decentralized margin trading platform.

Machine learning competitions are susceptible to intentional overfitting. Numerai proposes Numeraire, a new cryptographic token that can be used in a novel auction mechanism to make overfitting economically irrational. The auction mechanism leads to equilibrium bidding behavior that reveals rational data scientists’ confi- dence in their models’ ability to perform well on new data. The auction mechanism also yields natural arguments for the economic value of a Numeraire token.

The ‘poor’ are much richer than they think. What they need is a solution to unlock their economic potential. We bring to them the Sentinel Chain, a blockchain based solution to the problem of ‘dead capital’. The Sentinel Chain is a global B2B marketplace for financial services accepting the use livestock as collateral. The Sentinel Chain addresses two main issues to be solved to allow the asset tokenization of livestock: First, the creation of a process that transforms livestock from ‘dead capital’ to a fungible asset with a transparent and clear defined value. Second, the creation of an open and transparent marketplace that connects the unbanked to the network of global financial providers. This paper introduces the concept and benefits of Sentinel Chain as well as a technical appendix which elaborates on the design and fundamental architectural decisions.

1 Introduction

The core purpose of Blocktix is to provide a decentralized event hosting and ticket distribution network.

Companies and individuals can buy and sell tickets through unforgeable cryptographic signatures stored on the blockchain. With this approach, we have simplified the process of buying and selling tickets and removed the infrastructure of centralized servers. Both parties can therefore enjoy the lowest fees and no downtime due to the decentralized nature .

Anyone who possesses enough tokens can create events and sell tickets online without worrying about any of the additional complexities that are typically encountered. Blocktix provides a user-friendly interface for the execution of smart contracts, bringing its advanced capabilities to the masses with an intuitive application. This approach reduces the complexity of the interaction with smart contracts and provides an additional layer of security minimizing the possibility of fraud or malicious third party interference with the application due to the standardization of contracts.

The usage of mobile health (mHealth) apps and wearables is ever-growing. More than 52% of smart phone users gather health-related information on their phone. In 2016 alone, mHealth app store downloads totalled 3.2 billion. Health-related data is a precious asset for both individuals and stakeholders in the data-driven sports, health and wellness industry.

However, the users generating this data cannot aggregate, share and monetize it.

Moreover, because it lacks the means to interconnect existing data, the industry cannot unlock its full potential for the benefit of all market players. The rise of mHealth applications has not yet delivered on the promise of digital technology empowering individuals and resulting in better health care and a more connected sports and wellness market.

The Lympo ecosystem resolves this problem. Powered by user-generated and user-controlled fitness and wellness data, Lympo will allow the exchange of value through the introduction LYM utility tokens. Lympo’s goal is an ecosystem where data is used eciently by all industry stakeholders and everyone is rewarded fairly. It

consists of three pillars: the Lympo fitness wallet, a marketplace and the Lympo crowdfunding platform.

The Lympo digital fitness wallet and user reward mechanism is at the core of the Lympo ecosystem. The wallet functions as an entry to the ecosystem and allows users to be rewarded in LYM tokens for their healthy lifestyle achievements.

These tokens can be used to purchase goods and services in a marketplace starting from an existing Lympo platform uniting more than 500 fitness professionals and later expanding to a broad network of sports, wellness and health goods and services providers.

Finally, LYM tokens will be used on the Lympo crowdfunding platform to invest in innovative data driven companies in the industry which will contribute to the growth of this new ecosystem.

Abstract
Stakenet is a decentralized platform providing a trustless interchain economy. It is powered by a Proof of Stake blockchain with Lightning Network, Masternodes, and dApps. Its use case is to provide a highly secure cross-chain platform for cryptocurrencies, where individuals can easily operate with any blockchain simply by using Stakenet and its native currency XSN.

1 Introduction
In the last few years, the cryptocurrency community has steadily grown. There are now hundreds of cryptocurrencies to choose from – with more appearing each passing day. It is important to understand which technologies, communities, and decentralized ledger technologies will separate themselves from the rest, pushing through the noise of constant ventures entering the crypto-sphere. Instead of a one chain rule, we believe the future will instead be in the formation of a global backend – a blockchain mesh consisting of every chain, technology, and service created thus far. A united network of different chains all communicating with each other through different interfaces. This conversation will be completely unbeknownst to end users as swaps between different chains will be done case by case on the backend – never seen, realized, or even chosen by the user.

1.1 Purpose of Stakenet
While most associate the word stake with staking, stake has its roots in the economics of business administration and stands for far more than just passive income. Stakenet is more than staking; it is a network for stakeholders. To cre- ate a common understanding, we need to define the term network and connect it to the appropriate definition of a stake and a stakeholder.

− A network is defined as a system consisting of many similar parts that are connected.
− A stake is defined as a vital interest in a business or its activities.
− A stakeholder is any person or society at large that has an internal or external stake in the vision and mission of a business.

Thus, anyone who is actively or passively influenced by the activities of cryp- tocurrencies becomes a stakeholder of the blockchain economy. This includes ownership and holding of coins, property and legal interests, economic and social dependencies, developer and community activity, and any other crypto related work or interest. That way, cryptocurrency stakeholders:

− Affect the blockchain economy.
− Are affected by the blockchain economy.
− Be both affected the blockchain economy and affect the blockchain economy.

Putting all this together, we can start to see the vision Stakenet is pursuing. A technical architecture to connect all the stakeholders of the blockchain economy into one giant network – the Stakenet.

1.2 Plan of action
To create a successful interchain solution for the blockchain economy, we need to identify the majority of its stakeholders, find a way to connect them, and ensure that our approach does not harm their integrity. Therefore, the following three sub-items are particularly important for our plan of action.

1) Identify the majority: The most common stakeholder in the blockchain economy is Bitcoin itself, which is a peer-to-peer version of electronic cash growing stronger day by day. Most notably gaining major traction and a wide audience these past few years. Nowadays, countless people are affected by Bitcoin, and in return, also affect Bitcoin due to their work and activities. This includes the mining industry, financial products, dif- ferent wallet solutions, and many other Bitcoin-related work. In addition to Bitcoin, blockchains with smart contract capacities are particularly well-known too. The beauty of their blockchain architecture is that they enable both side and subchain creation. This allows for the development of decentralized applications, or dApps. The best-known smart contract blockchain is Ethereum which hosts the largest number of tokens for dif- ferent blockchain related businesses. Another famous blockchain with a similar use case is EOS which is currently the most used blockchain in the space of cryptocurrencies. Both blockchains are individually affected by internal and external interests, too. There is not a single blockchain where the stakeholder approach is not used.

2) Connect the majority: After finding out who our stakeholders are, we need to find a way to connect them. Bridging the gap between blockchains will be possible if both chains are using a compatible interface, like second layer protocols, or are supporting the same cryptographic hash function. That given, it is possible to execute trustless transactions between different blockchains. In Bitcoin’s case, we can utilize the Lightning Network as the default interface for peering two different chains, as we have already done with Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Stakenet. Other blockchains such as Ethereum or EOS can be integrated into our stakeholder network via their own smart-contract language. We will develop XSNETH and XSNEOS tokens to swap trustlessly between our native chain and the opposing chain with the help of hash time locked contracts, or HTLCs. The usage of hashlocks and timelocks provides us a solution to lock XSN on our native chain while unlocking the corresponding XSN tokens on the smart contract chain and swap these tokens in the opposing side and subchain mesh with other cryptographic currencies. Besides the exchange of coins and tokens, connecting the stakeholders of blockchains also means that you need to integrate the periphery industries of these blockchains as well. Therefore, we drafted a solution for decentralized mining pools, cross-chain staking, and the hosting of dApps with interfaces to other chains’ applications, too.

3) Protect integrity: All these ideas would be empty words if we just developed another centralized solution. We protect everyone’s integrity by combining the advantages of different blockchains into one interchain management architecture. The key pillars are our very own Trustless Proof of Stake consensus, an upgraded Masternode layer with watchtower functionality, and an upgraded Lightning Network layer with specialized swap resolvers. As well as several products, one of which is our hardware device XSN Viper – used for storing, exchanging, and utilizing different chains native assets and tools.

In short, Stakenet connects the largest distributed network developments into one decentralized place where individuals can operate with any blockchain simply by using Stakenet as the default interface.

What is DMD Diamond?

DMD Diamond is a digital currency that that allows people to send money anywhere in the world instantly, securely and at near zero cost. It focuses on creating a multi entry, high rewards monetary system that empowers people to achieve financial freedom through blockchain based technology. DMD Diamond’s conceptual goal is to become an ultra-scarce non-government controlled storage of wealth with software facilities that can increase that wealth over time.

Emission Model

DMD Diamond Coin rollout is one of the cornerstones of this monetary system. The emission model stays the same as in DMD Diamond 2.0, however, the introduced changes make the emission of new coins smoother and avoid sudden large reductions in yearly interest.

In the past DMD Diamond relied on both Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work algorithms to govern the network. DMD Diamond 3.0 will be run by state of the art Proof-of-Stake only, while Proof-of-Work is going to be removed completely.

Abstract

Bean Cash – An Extension of Satoshi’s Vision
Bean Cash builds upon Satoshi’s vision for a “Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”, as laid out in the Bitcoin whitepaper. When studying the history of Satoshi and Bitcoin, we can discover that it was always Satoshi’s intention to lift the block size limit above 1MB in order to scale on-chain as needed — to meet the demands of adoption. In keeping with Satoshi’s vision, BitBean started nearly 3 years ago already with 20MB maximum block sizes. This is 20 times bigger than Bitcoin Segwit’s (Ticker: BTC) maximum block size. Combined with a target block time of 60 seconds, Bean Cash is already positioned, to handle over 1,300 transactions per second, allowing it to compete with comparable payment systems such as Paypal.
