VNT WEEKLY | VNT Chain Project Progress VNT WEEKLY, November 4

This is the weekly report of VNT Chain in which you will find about the latest project updates, community news and development progress. It would be a great honor for us to share exciting news and build the ecology with you!

Project Updates

https://i.redd.it/7y2lfg82vuw11.jpg

  1. On November 1, Tsinghua University, National University of Singapore and Southampton University jointly held the third NExT++ Academic Conference in Nanjing. The founder of Yunphant Blockchain and co-founder of VNT Chain, Dr. Huang Butian, was invited to the conference and made a report on “Blockchain Technology and New Trends in Its Applications”, discussing blockchain technology and new trends in applications with more than 50 experts, teachers and students from Tsinghua University, the National University of Singapore, and the University of Southampton. In this report, Dr. Huang Butian first gave a detailed introduction to the current development trend of blockchain technology. He believes that with the continuous development of blockchain technology, the future blockchain will be more closely integrated with artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing technology, etc., and will show a trend of coordinated management of on-chain and off-chain, while at the same time to meet a wide range of commercial applications. And he holds that the construction of the underlying infrastructure of blockchain will gradually move towards the integration of the public chain and consortium chain.

  1. Recently, the “Blockchain Forfeiting Trading Platform” based on “Distributed Architecture, Full Link of Business Links and Fully Automatic System Connection” designed and developed by Bank of China, China Minsheng Bank and China CITIC Bank was successfully launched and completed the first cross-bank asset transaction on the same day. As of October 26, the “platform” transaction volume reached 30 million yuan. This is the extended practical application of blockchain technology in the banking industry after the first cross-bank blockchain project “letter of credit” which was launched in June 2017. The “platform” adopts the form of consortium chain, and its blockchain infrastructure is supported by the technical service provider of VNT Chain –Yunphant Blockchain. Three banks jointly developed the platform based on the current industry-wide business processes, embodying the principles of equality, mutual trust and openness.

  1. On October 29, VNT Chain co-founder Zhou Feng was invited to the Intersekt Annual Financial Technology Summit by the Australian government. He conducted an in-depth communication with Australian government officials on the topic of the combination of blockchain technology and financial technology. The Australian government expressed the hope that VNT Chain could further expand its industrial ecology to Australia and Australia will help VNT continue to expand its ecosystem all around the world.

Wednesday Inferno market overview

https://i.redd.it/hck3d3d81vw11.gif

With the new month, bitcoin has still been trading within that very tight range. Just this morning, however, we may – may – have seen the first signs of green shoots as the price breaks out of its holding pattern. We will know more later.

November has historically been a bullish month for BTC and there’s some expectation that will happen again – but remember, we’re contrarians here at Inferno and when the herd thinks something is going to happen, the opposite is likely. Now we don’t know whether ‘the majority’ think things are bullish at this point – the evidence suggests not – but take what ‘everyone’ says with a grain of salt. In a market, nothing is definite.

Volumes are still low, but appear to be rising slightly, which will be a critical factor in determining the strength of any given move and how likely it is to follow through into the next stage of the cycle. Analysts are split on whether we are consolidating here ahead of a recovery in the final two months of the year – as we’ve said, bitcoin’s traditional Christmas rally – or whether we will break support at $5,700 and head into a long crypto winter. Remember, with low volumes, it’s easier for large players to push the market around, so a pick-up in volume is critical for the health of the ecosystem.

Right now, it’s still unclear which way things will go. Sunday saw a $100 leg up but BTC still sits within the established $200 range. We’ve just pulled above $6,500 at the time of writing, but there’s no telling whether that will be sustainable or whether it’s a fakeout. There’s support at the $6,200 zone, resistance around $6,500. If we close above that the scenario becomes more bullish.

As we suggested on Monday, the outcome of the midterms could have some bearing on what happens next, since this will impact the US financial markets – and those wider market conditions will likely play into whether bitcoin breaks up or down out of its nine month descending triangle pattern. If traders feel wealthy (due to a rally in the Dow, for example), they will be more prepared to put money into BTC. So it will be worth watching the stock markets and taking some cues from them. However, this is just one factor of many.

In the alts, there are signs of life. BCash has posted significant gains ahead of its fork mid-month. In previous such forks and similar events these rallies end before the fork itself as traders look to front-run each other ultimately selling the news. The same will almost certainly happen here – expect blood for BCash soon.

China's Central Bank Wants to Put the Damper on Airdrops: Report

The People's Bank of China (PBoC), China's central bank, has its eyes on cryptocurrency companies that run airdrop campaigns in the country.

In its most recent financial stability report for 2018, which was publishedon Friday, November 3, 2018, the bank said there has been a surge in the number of "disguised" Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), including the free distribution of crypto tokens through airdrops, despite its effort to clamp down on their activities.

Based on the report, the bank states that the companies running token giveaways are evading China’s blanket ban on ICOs by issuing free tokens to the investor, while keeping a large chunk of the total supply for speculation on a crypto exchange, where speculation would drive the prices up so they can profit.

Last year, the central bank banned ICOs, calling them "illegal fundraising" that were targeting innocent investors. According to the PBoC report, before the ban took effect, 65 ICOs had been completed up until July 18, 2017, while only five were launched before 2017. This sudden jump also attracted over 105,000 investors who contributed a total of about 2.6 billion yuan ($377.3 million), a figure, the PBoC states, accounted for 20 percent of the total ICO funding raised globally by blockchain startups.

The central bank also made its concerns known about crypto firms who had moved their operations overseas but were using local agents to invest on behalf of domestic investors in China. The vice governor of the PBoC had warned foreign ICOs targeting Chinese investors at a separate event, earlier this year. He had stated at the time:

"Any new financial product or phenomenon that is not authorized under the existing legal framework, we will crush them as soon as they dare to surface."

Not one to rest on its laurels, the PBoC said it would continue to monitor the crypto industry, coordinating with other agencies to help safeguard and protect the interest of investors.

The bank's toughened stance with cryptocurrency began in 2013, where it published the “Notice on Precautions Against the Risks of Bitcoin,”where bitcoin was not deemed to be legal tender in China—to the most recent ban on ICOs in 2017.

Since then, there has been an onslaught of anti-crypto measures in the country. Earlier this year, commercial venues were banned from hosting crypto events, WeChat blocked some high profile blockchain related accounts, while Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba issued statements announcing restrictions put in place to limit crypto-related activities on their platforms.

China's Middle Class Is Again Desperate To Move Its Money Out Of The Country

The Chinese middle class is again taking substantial risks to move their money out of China. As a result, Chinese investors are blowing up foreign real estate markets while risking getting ripped off at the same time. 

The South China Morning Post recently highlighted one such example, profiling several Chinese citizens who purchased property in Australia to safeguard their wealth, only to see the well-known Australia-based property agent suddenly shutter its doors in August, leaving behind about $50 million in missing deposits and failed settlements.

This kind of "unexpected" event is just one example of the risks that Chinese mainlanders face while trying to protect themselves by moving assets overseas, especially in light of Beijing's strict capital controls on outbound capital. Many Chinese citizens even seek out citizenship or visas in nearby friendly foreign countries to diversify away from investment options at home.

And in China, this isn't just some basic diversification strategy like it is elsewhere around the globe. Instead, it is a direct response to growing fear that the Chinese quality of life is deteriorating. It's also a result of growing frustration that there are so few opportunities to invest at home. And the government isn’t making it easy: China severely restricts capital flows out of its country, stating that it wants the cash to stay domestic for productivity and development purposes.

It also means that those who accrued their wealth through the country’s real estate "boom" really don’t have a way to feel financially secure, as their proceeds must stay within the country, subject to several additional growing bubbles inevitably waiting to pop in China. And it isn’t just for economic reasons - Chinese citizens are also starting to look abroad as a result of the country's authoritarian political climate, heavy pollution and national food safety and vaccine scandals.

Faced with increasingly draconian capital controls, China's citizens are growing desperate to move their money offshore and doing silly things to achieve it. Take Raymond Zhang who was in his early 40s when he paid to join a real estate investment tour of Australia. He was thinking he would diversify his finances to safeguard them.

“It had been arranged for us to visit a dozen property projects in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, including flats, villas and houses with land packages. I loved Australia as soon as I landed there. The [prices of the] properties and living costs were quite affordable for us, not to mention the good air, legal system and education system for my family,” he told the SCMP.

The company that took them overseas asked for a $29,000 deposit, to be returned to 35 days after the investors returned back to China. Zhang says the money was never returned.

Meanwhile, the door to get money out of the country is closing as Beijing has dramatically increased the way it polices efforts to skirt capital controls and even "names and shames" people involved in this effort in order to warn the country's middle class. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, told the SCMP that at the end of August, there were 23 such cases outstanding. Five of them involved Chinese individuals trying to buy property overseas, others were using "underground banks" to buy property and move large chunks of money out of the country.

To limit capital flight, Beijing grants every individual a mere $50,000 foreign exchange quota, and buying beyond that amount requires special approval from SAFE. In addition to an annual cap on foreign exchange purchases, Beijing also limits individuals’ overseas withdrawals using a Chinese bank card at 100,000 yuan (US$14,400) per year.


The effect of China's capital flight isn't confined just to the mainland. Those looking to buy real estate outside of the country have negatively impacted many local economies, sometimes causing housing markets to bubble.

In response, Australia has tried to tighten its foreign investment rules in response to Chinese capital inflows. In 2016, the land Down Under even made it illegal for the country's four major banks to lend to foreign property buyers without domestic incomes. New Zealand went so far as to simply prohibit foreigners from buying property altogether because the demand was driving property prices out of the reach of locals. Canada did something similar, canceling its Canadian Federal Immigrant Investor program because of the huge backlog and bubbly real estate markets in places like Vancouver and Toronto.

Hundreds of Chinese "investors" who had put down deposits or bought homes in Malaysia also found themselves scrambling after new Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad stated his country would not allow foreigners to buy residential units in a forthcoming $100 billion real estate project, which is being developed by a Chinese firm.

Laura Zhang, who already bought a home in the project told SCMP: "What Mahathir said has definitely had a negative impact on the demand from and aspirations of middle-class investors from China. We feel we are not welcome here and there is growing uncertainty and risk for our long-stay visas and investments." 

In the United States, the EB-5 investor visa seems to finally have fallen out of favor given how immigration law under President Trump has tightened significantly. Approval for this visa can take up to 10 years and the huge backlog has deterred people from signing up.

None of these developments have quenched Chinese citizens' thirst to move their savings overseas. Raymond Zhang, who lost his nearly $30,000 deposit, concluded by telling the SCMP that even if he cannot get his money back, he still wants to buy property abroad: 

"I’m really worried about the worsening economic situation on the mainland, so that is really my main driver to have another go," he said.

In light of this pent up capital flight, one wonders how long before enterprising Chinese citizens rediscover cryptos and some novel way of bypassing China's firewall, and resume buying and sending cryptocurrencies outside the country. As a reminder, it was Chinese citizens that back in late 2015 first catalyzed the next massive move in bitcoin from $230 all the way up to $20,000 - a move which was subsequently joined by Japan and South Korea - before a global coordinated crackdown was required to halt interest in and purchases of cryptocurrencies.

Casting My Vote for Blockchain

Casting My Vote for Blockchain

https://i.redd.it/3m9mr6g67rw11.png

Two years ago, on the eve of the US presidential inauguration, I appeared in a documentary on the British TV station iTV. A friend of the family asked my mom if she would be willing to be interviewed by the show’s journalist who was traveling across America speaking with voters on across the political spectrum. My mom wasn’t particularly interested so she nominated me.

Now, admittedly, most of my life, I’ve been politically apathetic. My approach to politics was to put my head in the sand because even if I didn’t pay attention, life worked out. As immigrants, my family and I created prosperous lives for ourselves in the American Midwest. We lived in safe neighborhoods with great public schools. We made enough money, we bought real estate, and moved up the economic ladder. My sister and I both attended great universities. Outside of academic achievement, I never worried about much. So I never cared much about politics.

That was until two years ago. On the eve of the inauguration, the documentary aired. Watching the broadcast, you would never know I was formerly a political schlep as I shared my aversion to current events. I’d like to say that I didn’t know what had come over me, but, I did. I was broken by the year-long public war on the American people, by the American people.

To cope with my upset, I learned how to meditate. Focusing on something besides current events made me less anxious. Eventually, I began to feel better. Over the next year, I stumbled upon Bitcoin and blockchain technology and slid down the infamous rabbit hole. I watched the documentary Banking on Bitcoin and immediately the topics and themes made sense. I started researching Bitcoin and altcoins and the underlying blockchain technology.

Like many, I became fascinated by the potential of digital currency to transform financial systems and tried to learn as much as possible. I learned about the implications of government-controlled fiat and how crypto could shift control to individuals. Domestically, Americans didn’t have to remain at the mercy of “too big to fail” banks. And abroad, crypto could be used as a strong hedge again national currency devaluation resulting from political turmoil. I read about economic issues in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, India, Greece. Learning about the rise of digital currency gave me hope. Imagine if crypto could do for banking what the internet did for media; to give access, power, and control to individuals rather than governments or financial institutions. This was thrilling.

For the remainder of 2017, I enjoyed the dramatic rise in crypto prices and continued to learn as much as possible. Of course, at the start of this year, prices tanked but luckily, these new valuations did not completely destroy my enthusiasm for the space. I began to learn about blockchain technology and the potential impact of decentralization. I learned about the 19 industries blockchain will disrupt. Heck, it can even help us with election tampering. I immersed myself wholeheartedly into this new space. I loved the technology and the quest for solutions to long-standing issues of money, control, centralization, power. I was hooked!

But what I enjoyed just as much as the promise of this new technology, was operating in a world where politics didn’t matter. I mean, how could they with so little regulation? This was uncharted territory where the same forces of polarization and manipulation did not exist. There was no precedent. There were no rules until we made up our own. DYOR, HODL, and BTFD applied to everyone. Politics didn’t matter because we all wanted the same thing — mass adoption. In this ecosystem, our desires were aligned. It was magic. Forget putting down someone else’s candidate. We were having too much fun speculating about the market, comparing shitcoins, and choosing our lambos!

Fortunately, my understanding of and appreciation for blockchain today extends beyond making money. Of course, the bear market has forced me to manage my expectations and to adjust my portfolio. But it has also eliminated weak hands leaving only true believers to BUIDL a decentralized future. These believers include members of two outstanding, international teams I have worked with — first with Bitcoin for Beginners (BFB), a crypto education website, and now Kambria, an open innovation protocol initially focused on the robotics and AI verticals. At BFB, I was the only woman on the small, core team of leaders living around the world. At Kambria, our leadership team is all-female and split between Silicon Valley and Vietnam. In both organizations, team members value growing the crypto/blockchain ecosystem by sharing their knowledge, with integrity, with their respective communities.

In my work, political parties do not apply. We don’t need to take sides in a zero-sum game because we know that connected communities are stronger than divided ones. We are all students and teachers at the same time, innovators intent on creating a new reality. I am grateful for my work, my colleagues, and this new space. Bring on the future!

Delivering Blockchain Technology to the Real World.

What's up everyone, infrequent poster / frequent reader of Reddit here!

Recently, I've been seeing a lot of negative comments being thrown around about the World Crypto Con in Las Vegas - the main ones focusing around the fact that a lot of people representing the Cryptocurrency community aren't exactly the kinds of people you'd expect to see representing any other industry and are apparently giving Crypto a bad reputation and turning people away from it indefinitely.

Whilst I agree that some of the more 'colorful' characters we have repping Crypto don't really look like they should be leaders of any industry, the fact remains that Cryptocurrency isn't actually trying to align itself with these idealistic views. This is a revolution, not follow the traditional leader!

Sure, some of the more colorful reps of Crypto may appear a little eccentric (they probably are), but if these people are putting in their time and effort into serving the Crypto community then they have my respect!

That all being said, the whole 'giving Crypto a bad rep / turning people away' argument is invalid from the start. The people who visit these events (at $2k+ per ticket!) are likely to be very much involved and interested in this space already... Its the people who are unexposed to Cryptocurrency we need to be reaching!

This brings me to the purpose of my article.... How do we Deliver Blockchain Technology to the Real World?

The industry is no longer in its infancy. Bitcoin has been around from early 2009, altcoins since not long after.... Why are we still struggling to see any real impact of Blockchain Tech and Cryptocurrency on the real world?

We live in a day and age where everybody has a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips through PCs, Laptops, Tablets, Smartphones...etc, yet we're 10 years in and only a minute % of the worldwide population have owned Cryptocurrency... Why?

Because we haven't been marketing to the masses.

There are hundreds of ICOs which have successfully raised Millions upon Millions of $Dollars, yet are struggling to reach everyday people. Relatively few projects have taken steps to appeal to those who are unexposed to crypto, instead focusing on investors already inside the space...

Educational, informative mass marketing campaigns.... Lets EDUCATE the people who haven't been educating themselves!

Step up Phore Blockchain....

Background

Phore is a no ICO and non premined Cryptocurrency which was distributed via airdrop. Their entire funding comes through Block Rewards which are governed by the Masternode holders within the community.

The project itself is focused on adoption. 'Delivering Blockchain Technology to the Real World' is their slogan.

The Phore Marketplace is something already developed and released (in Beta - https://phore.io/marketplace/) by the team where goods can be brought and sold in Phore. By using Blockchain technology, Phore has removed the need for the third party intermediaries within eCommerce... This in turn has numerous benefits:- No data being stored and sold- No platform fees- No listing fees- Transactions are secure- Transactions can be transparent OR private (Zerocoin protocol)

How are they educating people?

Being self funded, the project is very restricted from a budget standpoint. The decentralized nature of Phore (no ico/no premine/community governed/airdropped) gives us a clear indication that the project is actually building something for real world use, rather than making profits.... YET....

Phore has recently announced they will be having a Video air (during prime time hours) on: Fox, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC and more.... Not only will this video be used to 'market' Phore themselves, but it will be used to educate an unexposed population on the basics of Cryptocurrency and what it has to offer.... Something which will benefit the entire Crypto industry!

I really respect what Phore are doing, not only for eCommerce but for the Crypto industry as a whole.

Its astonishing it takes a project born out of nothing which is completely self funded to begin educating the Masses on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency!

FIRST STREAMING PLATFORM BASED ON BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

Wat sup guys, I was surfing through the web during my article and as usual, found something amazing I want to share with you. Today I will be talking about Livestream of videos, the major challenges the market faces and the solution. But first, let’s know what Livestream is.

  Livestream of a video is a streaming platform that allows users to broadcast live video content through the internet, using a camera or the viewer to pay to play the live content via the web. Before you think of Livestreaming you have to pay for a subscription or should I say for the content provider to use. The industry has gained a lot of popularity over the past few years having a staggering worth of $30 billion in 2016 and is said to grow to about $70 billion by 2021 if you agree with me this is a huge sum of money to be precise but it is actually worth it. 

https://i.redd.it/rnzzji7bosw11.jpg

    You find out the industry is growing very fast and the ability to get thousands of people is just a click away and basically a reality for the industry so you see the main reason why it is very important. Statistics have shown that streaming video online brings nearly 10 million users daily and these active users could be watching videos for an average of 106 minutes every day. That just small compared to the 81% of internet users who Livestream content in 2016. Believe me, tons of social media platform have started integrating Livestreaming so as to reach customers easily.

 So let me quickly go to the challenges the Livestream market faces.

•    You find out that the major live streaming platform like YouTube or Facebook has not yet featured a built-in to Donate on the platform.

•    We found out that most Livestream applications features only domestic applications and I not actually connected all over the world.

•    The traffic of most live stream application is not high

•    They are a more limited streaming platform in the market that is not actually integrated to Blockchain.

So they are more but the only possible solution to these is LiveTalk Network platform.

THE PLATFORM

LiveTalk Network is a Blockchain based platform that allows direct broadcast, it aids high scalability, easy access to the live stream market all over the world and full hierarchy. What easy do users want when you can be able to make money from its platform by using different live stream services offered in its platform. They may include;

    Direct music idol

    Direct teaching, advertising, consulting, product sales online and so on

    Direct game

    A direct large event like a music festival, entertainment and so on.

They are so many, because of time I would go to the overview.

OVERVIEW
