Enigma Whitepaper Introduction
A peer-to-peer network, enabling different parties to jointly store and run computations on data while keeping the data completely private. Enigma’s computational model is based on a highly optimized version of secure multi-party computation, guaranteed by a verifiable secret-sharing scheme. For storage, we use a modified distributed hashtable for holding secret-shared data. An external blockchain is utilized as the controller of the network, manages access control, identities and serves as a tamper-proof log of events. Security deposits and fees incentivize operation, correctness and fairness of the system. Similar to Bitcoin, Enigma removes the need for a trusted third party, enabling autonomous control of personal data. For the first time, users are able to share their data with cryptographic guarantees regarding their privacy.

Abstract

Blockchain technology no doubt has been gaining in popularity. By a mecha- nism of “trust machine”, it provides mankind a brand new and efficient cooperation device. Blockchain’s application in the financial sector has brought about the most concern and the greatest expectation. At present, all kinds of tokens have com- pleted some basic functions of value transferring and value distributing, but it is still far from the fully functional financial services that the real world needs, which is exactly why regarding blockchain applications in the financial sector all we hear is thunder, yet no rain falls. To bring about the era of the Internet of Values as soon as possible, people need a new generation of financial infrastructure based on a blockchain technology which has complete financial functionality, can link dif- ferent communities and tokens, and can bridge the gap between centralized and decentralized organizations.

At the advent of the Internet of Information, what we did was not to transform the “postal system”, but to create a brand new “Email system”. Likewise, when the Internet of Values approaches, we hope to create a new system: a value transfer infrastructure based on tokens. It will convert value across time and across space and can fulfill almost all the functions of traditional finance in a distributed way much more efficiently and much less expensively. It can even achieve many un- precedented financial functions that are unimaginable in scenarios of centralized organizations. It will fuse fragmented pieces of cryptocurrencies and endow them with complete financial functions. It will bring the world’s finance into a new era, which we call the era of cryptofinance.

We have prepared FUSION for the cryptofinancial era! FUSION will connect various values by establishing a layer of control management on top of various tokens through a distributed management of the tokens’ private keys and by providing ports both for central organizations and for external datasources and in this way solve the key problem of insufficiency in interoperability of the current Internet of Values.

FUSION is inclusive. It integrates the cryptocurrencies that exist today and that will exit in the future connecting centralized and decentralized organizations, accommodating authentication mechanisms and anonymous trading mechanisms and introducing on-chain data and off-chain data. FUSION is restructuring.

It redefines the way in which value is transferred and the relationship between participants, and it transforms values in time and in space in a way reflecting the essence of finance, and implements financial functions in a unique way that will cause some of the existing financial products to disappear. FUSION is highly scalable. In the form of a virtual machine, it Turing-completely provides the infinite reverie space for cryptofinance across different tokens in the future, creating possibilities that were previously unimaginable.

This whitepaper will propose the prospect of cryptofinance based on the analysis of the background of the Internet of Values, and then put forward the overall design, key technologies and development plan of the FUSION project.

BLUEPRINT FOR DECENTRALIZED CLOUD COMPUTING
iExec aims at providing decentralized applications running on the blockchain a scalable, secure and easy access to the services, data-sets and computing resources they need. This technology relies on Ethereum smart contracts and allows the building of a virtual cloud infrastructure that provides high-performance computing services on demand.

iExec leverages a set of research technologies that have been developed at the INRIA and CNRS research institutes in the field of Desktop Grid computing. The idea of Desktop Grid (aka. Volunteer Computing) is to collect the computer resources that are underutilized on the Internet to execute very large parallel applications at the fraction of the cost of a traditional supercomputer.

iExec relies on XtremWeb-HEP, a mature, solid, and open-source Desktop Grid software which implements all the needed features: fault-tolerance, multi-applications, multi-users, hybrid public/private infrastructure, deployment of virtual images, data management, security and accountability, and many more.

iExec is developing a new Proof-of-Contribution (PoCo) protocol, that will allow off-chain consensus.

Thanks to the Proof-of-Contribution, external resource providers will have the usage of their resources certified directly in the blockchain.
iExec aims to deploy a scalable, high-performance, secure and manageable infrastructure sidechain that will promote a new form of distributed governance, involving key HPC, big data and cloud industry leaders.

We believe in a future of decentralized infrastructure and market network, where big data and HPC applications, highly valued data-sets, and computing resources (storage, CPU, GPU) will be monetized on the blockchain with the highest level of transparency, resiliency and security – and iExec as the key platform powering this future.

iExec is building the Internet’s next step. Be part of it!

Known as Kucoin Shares or KCS for short, the token issued by Kucoin Cryptocurrency Exchange Platform maintains a total issuance volume of 200 million. After buy-back disposal, it will be a constant – 100 million. As a decentralized cryptocurrency issued on the basis of Ethereum, also a standard ERC 20 token based on Ethereum blockchain, KCS supports all the Ethereum wallets.

By August 2017, market value of the global cryptocurrencies has reached $100 billion; meanwhile the worldwide daily exchange volume has reached an astonishing $5 billion. Other than Bitcoin, new cryptocurrencies with new technologies
and features have been emerging vigorously in recent years. And their total value and exchange volume has gone over 50% of the global market. Currently, the daily exchange volume of each worldwide top 10 platform has already reached $100 million and maintained the prosperous development. Based on the calculation of 0.1% commission, the daily income of a vibrant platform shall reach $100,000.

• Data feeds to syndicate information about cryptocurrencies and markets ETHOS

• Professional services to demystify the industry for businesses and developers while creating a dynamic eco-system to locate, find and engage customers in the digital economy thus reinventing traditional Financial Distribution Models.

The majority of crypto currencies that make use of masternodes, split their block reward per block equally between the mining and masternode distribution mechanisms. The intended fairness of this reward distribution can be subverted by the growth of masternodes held by large investors without limits leading to potential centralization of the budgeting system much like having a majority shareholder in a company. The additional benefits of masternodes can lead to less number of users conducting Proof of Stake (PoS) mining activities and thus lowering the security of the PoS network.

Masternodes do provide a valuable service and should be rewarded for that service, but our aim here is not to reward them way beyond the extra value they provide. For we believe that doing so disproportionately benefits masternode owners above and beyond other users of the system and ultimately leads to a greater degree of centralization.

Abstract

During the summer of 2016, Reddcoin saw a major update to the network through the release of the v2.0 Core wallet. Features included in the release pave the way for Reddcoin to be made more accessible and to encourage widespread adoption.

V2.0 also introduces several security fixes, notably the enforcing of strict DER signatures and validation rules (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal ­ BIP66). The code base has moved from Litecoin, with Reddcoin becoming a fork of Bitcoin, based on the v0.9 branch. This grants Reddcoin direct access to upstream features and fixes coming from Bitcoin development.

With this major work now complete and adoption of v2.0 steadily increasing, the attention of the Reddcoin team now turns to the road ahead. Beyond developing a blockchain, the team is planning a broad ecosystem of applications that will realise the vision of Reddcoin the Social
Currency.

This document presents the 2016­2017 roadmap detailing Reddcoin development goals and objectives over the next 18 months. The outline of core objectives are made along a timeline with milestones to measure and validate healthy progress.

Introduction to Mithril (Mith) whitepaper
Mithril​ is a decentralized social media platform on the Ethereum Blockchain. Mithril will integrate into new and existing social media networks to reward content creators for contributions to the network – we call this Social Mining.

Mithril (MITH) will leverage blockchain technology to ensure that transactions are secure and safe for all participants. This technology revolves around decentralized data storage that can record transactions between parties in a efficient, trustless, and immutable manner.

MITH will launch as a utility token on Lit, an innovative social media platform that addresses the needs of this current generation of users. This younger generation of social media users seeks a platform that addresses both their needs as early crypto adopters as well as their evolving needs in social media. Features such as instant messaging, story feeds, and discovery of new friends are all built into Lit for launch. Lit will enable Social Mining of MITH to reward users for contributing their personal content to the network, and provide the Mithril Vault for its users to store, use, and exchange MITH for BTC and ETH. Lit will seamlessly integrate into into major social networks to help users more easily monetize their personal content.
With MITH tokens, users will be able to spend it across the MITH application ecosystem, such as dating services, premium content channels, and live-stream applications. The Mithril Merchant Network aims to allow retail acceptance of MITH as a payment method, beginning with retailers in Taiwan and Hong Kong at launch. The MITH network, armed with its user base of social influencers, will be a highly-desirable customer base which Mithril Merchant Network partners will benefit through a deep MITH integration.

Mithril​ is founded by the team behind 17 Media, with advisors from Pantera Capital, Sora Ventures, QTUM Foundation, AMIS, and Blockstate.
