Hello everybody. The LISK project and it's enthusiasts are always busy, and this week past has certainly been no exception.
Seeing is believing, so here is a recap of the highlights and interesting items from the past week on the LISK subreddit and beyond.....
Lisk, Hong Kong Future and Costa Rica Past.
Asia Crypto Week is fast approaching (11-17th March) and blockchain/crypto enthusiasts and industry veterans are preparing to gather together, share their knowledge and nurture mass crypto adoption. Among the events taking place on March 15th will be a meetup at the University of Hong Kong catering to the University's Blockchain Club and anyone else that might be in the area and interested in all things blockchain. Lisk is co-hosting the event in collaboration with 9up.io, who are a group of blockchain enthusiasts based in Hong Kong and who also are a prospective Lisk delegate. Max Kordek, Lisk's Co-Founder and CEO, will be the main speaker at this event on the 15th March, as he will be in town from the 10th to 15th for Asia Crypto Week and Token 2049.
Tickets for the event can be secured HERE. Hong Kong has been a strategic position in the blooming Blockchain industry in recent years, so I will be interested to see what emerges from this meetup and indeed Asia Crypto Week as a whole.
Now from the future to the past, and the TicoBlockChain 2019 conference in Costa Rica this past month. Lisk Central America have linked us up with a Stylish Montage Video of the event with interview snippets interspersed within. Software Architect, Jake Simmons, represented LISK Central America with his presentation on 'Scaling blockchain horizontally with Lisk'. Jake's presentation took part in the midst of the conference's speaker collection of lawyers, developers, educators, banking executives, investment professionals, their keynotes, panel talks and fireside chats.
For those of us who could not make the trip we have Lisk community member /u/illuciferium to thank for filming Jake's presentation and uploading it to Youtube HERE. You can also see Jake being interviewed at the conference by Ricardo Barquero, Nimiq Community Manager in this VIDEO. Well done all!
Lisk Support Adds a Meetup Map.
LISK support and TonyT908 are back with a new way for Liskers to visualise all the upcoming meetups and events related to the project. The Events Map is a more visually exciting way to discover all the upcoming events around the globe rather than reading through reams and reams of text. When you are ready to delve more into the details of a particular meetup then you can visit the official Lisk Events page to read further details.
Special thanks should be given to Global Delegate Team (GDT) for their guidance to TonyT908 and for providing the funds necessary to license to mapping software. Edward Trosclair AKA StellarDynamic came up with the original concept, so he should take a lot of praise also. Great work all round, folks.
Lisk Sidechain Project Knows the Key is to Stand Out from the Crowd.
Chief R&D Officer and Co-founder of GNY (bringing Machine Learning to Lisk), Richard Jarritt informed the project's followers on the GNY telegram that "only by having a platform that is the first to crack machine learning on chain is how we can differentiate ourselves from the countless projects in our space". He continued, "I look at the whole crypto space and at the moment having working code is key, that is the drive here".
So on to the coding and Machine learning integration, how is that going? Well, this week Leo Liang, Head of Blockchain for GNY will be presenting the coding solution for how information is read by the machine learning off the chain. The GNY team always has tech meetings on Tuesdays to present the work that has been done the week previously, where they update each other on progress and then set the next task. Upcoming shortly for the team will be a demo of how the read function and Machine learning are running together and moving onto the reply function.
The GNY Github is due to go live by the end of this month, following an important GNY staff conference in London. It's going to be an exciting month and I am really looking forward to it.
Lisk Sidechain Project becomes a Founding Member of a Brussels-based Blockchain Organization.
On the 6th of March the MADANA project were one of the 105 companies, startups and organizations that came together to found INATBA. The International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) which will be a Brussels-based organization working to make blockchain more accessible, safe, and usable for everyone. This was an initiative of the EU commission and the Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology or "DG Connect", whose responsibility is managing the Digital Agenda across Europe. It is hoped that this will now allow projects in the blockchain and distributed ledger technology eco-system have access to a global forum to interact with regulators & policy makers.
Next up for the INATBA is its first General Assembly on 3rd April where the 105 founding members will hopfully be joined by fresh additions to the memberlist. The INATBA website is now live at http://inatba.org and they have a "Join" page which is accepting applications for new members to join Madana and the likes of Iota, Cardano, Gnosis, and the Quant Network for the April 3rd launch!
That's it for the recap of the weeks highlights. I hope it brought you up to speed with all the weeks good news.
