AtoX leads blockchain 4.0

Since Satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin in 2008, the blockchain has gone through ten years. Nowadays, the blockchain has passed the barbaric age and needs the landing of real public chains and killer applications. Based on summarizing the past blockchain 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, the AtoX project team introduced blockchain 4.0 based on Ai's enhanced cross-chain protocol and the new financial revolution. AtoX blockchain 4.0, a leading technology, is also a killer application, aiming to promote the world revolutionary process of blockchain transformation and lead the industry.

1.The blockchain 4.0 proposed by AtoX avoids the defects of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 in the past blockchain, which is a more mature version.

The Bitcoin of Blockchain 1.0 solves the problem of digital currency. The Ethereum of Blockchain 2.0 solves the problem of digital asset securitization. Here, there is also a fork, IBM's super ledger, is a permissioned blockchain, designed to open up cross-industry applications of finance, and later it did not work. The Ripple of Blockchain 3.0 solves the problem of cross-bank settlement. There is also a fork here, the ecosystems of EOS is criticized by the industry for its lack of centralization, and even being questioned that it is not a blockchain. Although the development of the public chain has experienced three generations of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, it is still immature, and major technical problems still need to be broken through, and large-scale commercial applications will take time.

AtoX proposes Blockchain 4.0 in a timely manner. Based on Ai's enhanced cross-chain technology architecture, it not only overcomes the technical challenges of blockchain 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, but also based on the new financial business model, through integrated payment settlement and UT/ST dual-token issuance, achieving the digitization or programmization of currency, securities and banking, and open the way for funds to enter the real economy, and promote the chain reform and the revolution in the mode of corporate governance, and finally realizing the dream of “enterprise launch onto the chain and everyone have coins” . We believe that the AtoX of blockchain 4.0 is a relatively mature and ideal public chain.

The following are the basic elements of the AtoX blockchain project.

Positioning: blockchain 4.0;

Technical architecture: AtoX algorithm, ie Ai enhanced cross-chain protocol;

Business model: New Finance, integrated payment settlement and UT/ST dual-token issuance, extended to the whole finance to support the revolution of enterprise chain reform and governance;

Team: Jewish genes.

AtoX algorithm, AI enhanced cross-chain protocol, can effectively solve the triangle paradox of decentralized, security and easy of use, it is a leading technology architecture

The decentralization of Bitcoin of blockchain 1.0 is good, but the transaction speed TPS is too slow and the scalability is limited. Although the Ethereum of blockchain 2.0 has scalability, the transaction speed TPS is still not ideal. Although some solutions have been proposed, the cost of implementing these solutions is often to limit the number of possibilities for transactions pair, or to rely on a centralized transaction entrustment platform, such as EOS, which is vulnerable to human tampering and hacking. There is thus the possibility of counterfeiting transactions and cheating, as well as the security risks of stolen funds. The AtoX algorithm uses the AI enhanced cross-chain technology as the core of the technology, and builds a digital trading system that avoids the above-mentioned defects and realizes decentralization in real sense. 2. About AtoX algorithm The AtoX algorithm exploits the scalability of lightning networks, making it possible for traders to trade at high speeds between almost any blockchain; At the same time, the exchange rate is detected in real time by the delinked transaction entrustbook stored on IPFS; and the use of a consensus mechanism that is both energy efficient and alleviating the problem of turing; multi-token and wallets, and design of interfacing to the token trading platform, can effectively support a variety of applications. AtoX protocol, through AI models and algorithms, real-time learning, through a large number of data analysis, constantly repairing possible loopholes in the system to prevent hacker attacks or other unexpected events; It is also enhanced by Ai to maintain the decentralization of the blockchain and to timely adjust to the problems; It also enhances its performance and improves TPS through Ai enhancements. The AtoX protocol is truly able to effectively solve the triangular conflicts that have long plagued the public chain for a long time, decentralization, security, and commerciality. In addition, AtoX's open blockchain platform integrates multiple functional modules and can plug in to add new features. These create conditions for later scalability of platform functionality. At present, the platform supports the bank's payment and settlement business, and it needs to support services such as deposits, loans, factoring, and bills in the future. The platform will also support enterprise asset to launch onto the chain, that is, digitization, tokenization, and securitization of various types of enterprise assets. After that, the token on the blockchain requires government supervision, and the platform needs to be connected to the policy sandbox. These, the pluggable function modules will be of great use. The introduction of Ai technology will also play a role at the application level in the future. Use big data and AI to provide analysis and prediction services to assist users in decision-making. 3. AtoX new financial business model

AtoX's new financial business model set payment settlement and dual-token issuance together, expanding to the whole finance, promoting the chain reform and corporate governance revolution. The blockchain is finance, which is digital finance, programmable finance, and new finance. And finance is the lifeblood of the modern economic system. The application of blockchain must first be applied in the financial sector, using new finance to leverage technological innovation and the development of the real economy. AtoX's new financial model, adhering to the three major value points of blockchain, stranger credit, card incentive and co-governance, the core is to build a new, technology-leading and approachable financial ecosystem through a mature, stable, scalable and sustainable new financial public chain platform, open up the channels of funds and the real economy, provide enterprises with chain reform and governance revolution services, and promote economic development and human civilization. Prior to this, bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and other solutions, although they also explored in digital finance, but there are defects such as cutting leeks, currency value instability, lack of supervision, difficult to land, etc., they are still immature. AtoX's new financial model firstly integrates Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple functions in one furnace, supports UT/ST dual-token issuance and bank payment settlement, and has three types of financial functions: currency, securities and banking. The stable currency UT enhances the stability of the digital currency; ST and later expands to the corporate asset chain and connects to the supervision, and eliminates the cutting of the leeks under the premise of supporting the token economy model; the wallet design improves the ability of the payment and settlement of trade finance. Relying on the strong support of AtoX technology architecture, AtoX's new financial model has corrected various shortcomings of past blockchain financial applications, and has become a mature, integrated and efficient new financial public chain platform. The UT/ST dual-token mode design has two functions: one is to increase the diversity of internal strategies and adapt to investors with different needs; the other is to operate the whole model, and the platform motivates each participant to act with the aim of maximizing their own interests, and promotes the whole platform to develop positively. AtoX's new financial model is an independent financial platform that can directly connect with corporate and personal services. It can also cooperate with traditional financial institutions such as banks, securities, and factoring to enhance the role of traditional financial institutions. Nowadays, people can not only own the legal tender assets of the atomic world, but also can own the digital assets of the bit world, and everyone can enter. AtoX's new financial model, it also with the inclusive financial characteristics. AXC is a platform incentive token model designed for investors with high growth and high returns. New finance is the direction of the future of finance and the direction of the future of the economy. The blockchain revolution was first and foremost the new financial revolution. AtoX saw the trend of the new financial revolution and took the responsibility of the new financial revolution to become the leader of the blockchain 4.0. The blockchain embraces traditional finance to realize the new financial revolution;

The blockchain industry is available in many industries to achieve chain reform;

Everyone can enter into blockchain and move towards common prosperity.

Blockchain 4.0 advocated by AtoX, using chain and AI combination, using new finance, and using the spirit of “love herism” to create a high-dimensional world of wealthy and loved ones with enterprises launching onto the chain and everyone has coins.

Apollo - The Next Generation Privacy Crypto

This is going to be an extensive detailed article on why we believe that Apollo (APL) is going to be one of the top contenders in the cryptocurrency markets in 2019 and years to come in the future. With the rise of all ICO’s in the boom of 2017, along with the bear market in 2018, there has been a natural selection of coins in which most of them have completely collapsed in price simply because they don’t provide any legitimate use case. For any cryptocurrency to have a long term outlook it must have a unique usecase. Apollo is a very nisched cryptocurrency that provides good privacy for its transactions. Moreover, it stands out in its privacy because it offers features that are new and don’t exist in other cryptocurrencies out there. For that reason, and many more which will be highlighted in this article, it is our conviction that Apollo is one of the most undervalued cryptocurrency in the market, and its potential is extremely huge.

For any free society to thrive and live under a democratic system, there must be a good sense of privacy that the citizens can enjoy. The fact that people feel they are watched for every move they make really removes the fundamental principle of freedom. With the birth of cryptos and Bitcoin in particular, different projects out there have tried to incorporate different privacy features into cryptocurrencies to make it safer for people to use without having the fear of being spied on and watched all the time. Given there are some successful ones like “Monero” for instance, there are still some areas that are not fully covered technically to provide privacy in the cryptocurrency transactions.

Here is where Apollo comes into the picture. Nearly all top non-private and private currencies allow the IP address of a user to be easily tracked, making a user’s physical location fully known. There are no currencies on the market which offer an IP masked, decentralized exchange, giving users the ability to buy and sell a currency using private or public transactions directly from their wallet, and this is one of the new and innovative privacy features that Apollo offers.

Purpose of Apollo

Apollo is a new revolutionizing cryptocurrency that is focused to be one of the most feature-rich and most comprehensive cryptocurrency with a main focus on privacy. The ultimate goal of Apollo is to enable the users of the currency to buy & sell cryptocurrency with the affirmation that their transactions are completely private and invisible to any potential malicious third-party eavesdropper. There are many features that Apollo will offer which puts it in front of the competition; to name a few, IP-Masking, Coin shuffling, invisible nodes are a few that will make Apollo flourish.

https://i.redd.it/j87wibwlcmb21.jpg

There are currently many cryptocurrencies out there that do offer some sort of privacy and a degree of assurance that the transaction can’t be traced, but there are many holes or exploits that can be utilized by a hacker to try to circumvent the given features and still get access to the sender and the receiver of the transaction. Apollo is attempting to tap onto all of the exploitable holes by adding extra layers of security which will make it even harder if not impossible for hackers to circumvent, and that is why I think Apollo is going to be one of the golden nuggets in the upcoming years. More about the extra features and how they will make Apollo grow in subsequent sections of the article.

Problem that Apollo solves

It is important to realize that there are many crypto projects out there at the moment that claim that they are decentralized and that the cryptocurrency is free from manipulation and outside pressure. However not every project can substantiate this with proof. In fact, many projects at the current moment engage in some sort of “KYC” which forces the users to give their credentials and their ID if they want to buy/sell the cryptocurrency in question. This really begs the question – if a user is forced to give away their info, then in the end what is the reason for the actual crypto in the first place? If it’ just a means of sending funds between two parties and the two parties are identified, how is the transaction private? And more importantly, why use the crypto in the first place and not any other means of sending funds like PayPal or Visa etc? These types of regulations defeat the purpose of any project.

https://i.redd.it/bms9bkcocmb21.jpg

For example, there are many large tech companies that are planning to incoroporate the ability to perform transactions via the blockchain as a sub-product of their company, example of such rumors are Amazon/Facebook. What is important to understand in this scenario that although the transactions will potentially be on the “blockchain” there really is no sense of decentralization. Why? Reason being is because all of these companies and organizations have to adhere to government regulations which ultimately means that at any point in time the government can ask for the transaction details of a specific person or entity and thus the “decentralization” aspect has gone away, let alone the anonimty/privacy aspect.

Here is where Apollo comes into play. Apollo lays out the technology and infrastructure to be free from control and regulation, whether for political purposes or otherwise. This is a fundamental key in any crypto that claims to offer any sense of privacy. Apollo not only uses current widely used and accepted standards to provide privacy, but it adds additional layers to further fortify the privacy and anonymity. Furthermore, the technology that Apollo employs makes it impossible for any government entity to demand the transaction details of anyone. The government can’t put pressure on anyone to extract such sensitive information from Apollo transactions because there is no one that has control over the blockchain. Contrast this with PayPal/Visa in which any government entity can put pressure to get valuable information on transactions that they want more info about.

Features that Apollo offers

Let’s now take a deeper look at some of the core features that Apollo offers.

IP Masking

Apollo will use advanced protocols and technologies to allow for completely untraceable and private transactions in the Apollo blockchain by utilizing “IP Masking”. Technologies such as

“Tor “ will allow for the IP be completely undetectable and give complete anonymity in terms of original IP address.

Private & Non-private exchange of funds

Another unique feature of Apollo is that it gives the user the ability to alternate between wanting a transaction to be private or non-private. The private transactions will ultimately completely protect the user from any third party to get information about the transaction such at the amount that was transacted, the origin/destination of the transaction and other meta-data that is supposed to be classified. The public transactions on the other hand are open and anyone can observe the details of the transactions. The flexibility of alternating between public/private is unique and further makes the solution of Apollo that much more practical.

Decentralized exchange

This exchange will be embedded into the Apollo solution. It will allow anyone in the Apollo network to engage in transactions fully anonymously with each other without the need to identify themselves. The exchange is not like Binance or Bittrex which is run by a company and CEO, rather, the exchange is fully decentralized. This again entails that no user will ever have the obligation to send identification details to confirm their identity and thus making the case of a truly anonymous crypto that more fortified. Furthermore, the exchange will never need to bend to government regulations and control since it’s impossible to control by anyone.

Competitive transaction speeds

Another great feature of Apollo is the “Hermes Blockchain”. This technology is going to revolutionize the entire blockchain industry. The ultimate goal is to leverage transaction speeds of up to 1-2 seconds. This will put Apollo to the top cryptocurrency projects out there to date. It’s important to take this into consideration given the entire context. In the peak of the 2017 bubble of cryptos a BTC transaction could take sometimes up to 3-4 hours to finalize. With Apollo providing a blockchain that can handle transactions in literally seconds, this will open up so many doors for practical implementations. The unbanked population in the poorer countries of the world will have the ability to utilize Apollo for using micro transactions. Also, Apollo will be used as a day-to-day currency because now there is no need to wait for hours to make transactions.

Encrypted messaging

Another reason why Apollo is going to be a whole encompassing solution for anyone that wants to live in a decentralized ecosystem is the fact that Apollo will allow for encrypted messaging to be sent using its infrastructure. The messages will be 100% private and completely untraceable and the IP addresses from the sender/receiver will be completely disguised.

Comparison between top privacy coins

Let’s now take a deeper look into some of the top privacy crypto’s out there and why Apollo reigns supreme in regards to the feature it offers and the additional tech-implementations it has utilized to make the transactions that much more private.

https://i.redd.it/a0zb3pjqcmb21.png

If we are to take a look at one of the most significant identifier for a crypto to enable users to make anonymous transactions which is namely “private transactions” we can see that apart from Apollo, there really aren’t that many other cryptos that do have this offering. At the current moment, the only other cryptos that have similar offerings are “Monero” and “Verge”. And even in those cases, it’s really debatable on whether or not they really are private. When it

comes to Monero for instance, sure the CryptoNote protocol allows for the sender and receiver to be anonymous in the actual blockchain, however the IP is still known. This is again something that is solved in the Apollo infrastructure since the IP is masked.

Furthermore, when it comes to decentralized exchange, voting system and phased transactions the only crypto that have these kinds of features is Apollo. On top of that, one of the most popular coins that have branded itself as a “privacy coin – DASH” is really not decentralized. This really puts a whole lot of confusion into the cryptospace since many users are not that tech-oriented to find out which cryptos are really private and which are not. Without true decentralization, true anonymity is impossible to achieve fully. The sole reason for that is because once a blockchain is susceptible to pressure and control from people with power it can be pressured to give out transaction details of supposed “private transactions” and hence any user that have performed any sensitive transactions in the ecosystem can never feel safe.

If you are to inspect and analyze the table above which highlights the features that Apollo offers and the features of the current top privacy cryptos out there it will be evident that when it comes to being a whole encompassing crypto ecosystem, nothing stands in comparison with Apollo and Apollo truly reigns supreme with their rich feature oriented infrastructure.

Community analysis

Twitter

For any cryptocurrency to become truly prosperous it is vitally important for it to have a strong community of evangelists that will spread the word of Apollo to everybody in their circle and to back it up through thick and thin. After having a made a complete analysis of Apollo’s community, it has become more and more obvious that Apollo really have a strong pack of enthusiasts behind that will help take this currency to whole new levels. Let inspect deeper into some of the popular community metrics that will give us some indication on how Apollo stands in relation to its competition.

https://i.redd.it/xnw2nq3wcmb21.png

If we are to begin with one of the most popular platforms, Twitter, we can see that Apollo really have a very high follower count given its relatively small marketcap as of this moment. At the time of this writing, Apollo has a marketcap of $11 million, and as can be observed from the screenshot above the Twitter account has around 58k followers. This means that Apollo has around 5.2k followers for each $1 million marketcap. To put it in context, the average number of followers on Twitter a cryptocurrency project has for each $1 million in marketcap across all 2000 coins that exists out there is a mere 928! This makes Apollo 5.6x much stronger than its competition with similar marketcap. Again, this is another sign of why Apollo is “undervalued”, when analyzed with its competition of similar marketcap it can be easily observed that even though the marketcap is low, its “true” marketcap value is supposed to be a lot higher. To make this easier to understand, if we are to value the Apollo project in terms of marketcap given this metric then it Is supposed to be 5.6x higher than it is now , so 5.6 * 11 = $61 million in marketcap. This is one of many pieces of evidence that will demonstrate why Apollo is truly undervalued at the current moment.

Telegram

Let’s analyze the Telegram engagement of Apollo. Right from the get go it can be observed that Apollo has one of the most vibrant and active communities there is today on Telegram. At the time of writing this article, the current member count of Apollo is ~71000 members. Furthermore, the current online is 828.

https://i.redd.it/v0yeiqqwcmb21.png

To put it in context it is of paramount importance to realize how high this number of users is relative to its low marketcap. Currently, Apollo has around 6.5k telegram members per $1 million marketcap. An analysis of the 2000 cryptoprojects that exists currently shows that the average number of telegram users per $1 million in marketcap for each project is only 1.3k. This means that Apollo has 5x more telegram users per $1 million in marketcap compared to cryptoprojects with similar marketcap size – again another reason why Apollo is so undervalued right now. Furthermore, the telegram engagement rate is very high, it has around 1-5% engagement for any given time. Telegram is an important channel of communication to relay information directly at livetime to investors and potential investors to be. Therefore, a high telegram number count means that the entire community can be synchronized with the latest events at real-time should spontaneous news come about. Also, it’s a perfect way for the team to spread out updates frequently without having to resort to creating articles etc. Again, the more the careful observer analyzes the evidence, the more it becomes clear of how truly undervalued this project is.

Google Trends

One of the most effective ways to determine the trend or the appeal of a specific project is to analyze how it performs on google trends. Google trends measure the trendstrength, i.e the

number of people that are searching for the specific term in question over time and provide a graph on how it actually is performing over time. Let’s analyze Apollo with another coin that is in similar range of marketcap evaluation, Tokencard, and see how it compares to it.

https://i.redd.it/kz2bs9gycmb21.png

The blue line in the graph resembles the “Apollo Currency” and the redline resembles the “Tokencard” currency. Again, Tokencard is in similar marketcap evaluation as Apollo, yet still Apollo is outperforming it for a very long period of time straight. This is yet another piece of evidence on how strong the appeal for Apollo actually is and why it is so undervalued. The greater the consistent trend strength of a given project the greater the likelihood that it will continue to grow and become even larger in terms of community and from a mass adoption perspective.

Future predictions

As mentioned in the introduction, there really needs to be many parameters that are aligned in place for a successful project to really take off. After careful observation, it is a strong conviction of mine that Apollo has what it takes to be one of the top cryptos in the future. More importantly, what is even more exciting is the fact that Apollo is so undervalued right now so the future upside is much larger than normal. There are a lot of projects out there (in fact almost all of them) that claim that they in one way or another are “undervalued”. However a project does not become undervalued by default. During the 2017 boom every coin under the sun claimed to be undervalued and that their technology was going to be the new thing on the block. But as we all saw, most of them have collapsed into oblivion with no chance of recovery.

So what actually constitutes for a project of actually being undervalued? To begin, there must be a technology that is actually in demand. Furthermore, there must be a previous demonstration that indicates that a product proposition of the same type has a particular evaluation. Then finally, it must be demonstrated that the actual project in its current stage should be much more valuable than what it currently is. In this article, multiple pieces of evidence actually have shown why Apollo is less valued than what it deserves to be. Markets on the short-term act like a voting system, but in the long term they act as a weighing system. Capital markets always have the tendency to value stocks based on their true evaluation at the long term. Therefore, for an investor to get a good deal and a good ROE, an undervalued project must be chosen for their capital to rest in.

As discussed in the “community analysis section” if we are to rank coins based on their marketcap on how they are performing, Apollo really stands out as a project, in fact, based on its current marketcap it is really outperforming other projects of the same marketcap caliber. Therefore it follows that Apollo should be valued much higher than what it currently is at. For that reason, I personally believe that Apollo will be in the top 10-20 coins given 1-2 years of additional development to reach the milestone goals. I predict that once the markets cool off the actual bear and capitulation phase right now, money will pump into Apollo with great enthusiasm as it will be the chosen coin when it comes to privacy. It has a lot more features when it comes to privacy when compared to other coins that claim to be fully private.

Conclusion

Given a complete roundabout analysis of Apollo, I really think that it stands to argue that Apollo has what it takes to take the lead for becoming the top privacy coin out there. Not only will it be a privacy coin, but the actual Apollo platform is going to offer many more security features than just being currency. Apollo is an all-encompassing platform that is focused on delivering privacy and secrecy features ranging all from private monetary transactions to messaging

transactions. All of this will be done in the “Olympus” protocol that is delivered and developed by the Apollo team itself. The end goal is to become one of the most feature rich cryptocurrency on the market and to appeal to both technologically skilled people and the rest of the population. The concept of Apollo is unique and has not been implemented before. Usually, crypto projects tend to utilize an existing framework and add something to it and just re-name the currency. What Apollo is trying to do on the other hand is to actually create a brand that encompasses many more features than just a currency. Everything that is related to privacy will be synonymous with Apollo, and that I think is a very good branding strategy and will set the path to a much brighter future.

13 Months of ADOPTION! -- NANO accepted here! (10)

Hi everyone,

Until May 2018 I posted this on a regular basis since the adoption rate was high. Sometimes we had several new entries per day. Then adoption slowed down and also other work slowed me down.

Also, USE NANO, https://usenano.org appeared and took over some of the work.

usenano.org's listings do not fully match this list and vice versa. Both of us would need to invest some work in order to provide a full list. ;-) -- Both lists together should provide a good overview.

Also: A few weeks ago BrainBlocks reported about 2000 merchants using BrainBlocks. In case they are reading here, please let us know.

This said, I am re-publishing The Reddit NANO Directory


Adoption is crucial! Adoption is king!

ATTENTION: The new Reddit design has screwed up the correct counting in here.

If you switch to the old Reddit design, you will realize, that I am able to count from 1 to over 130.


Dear online merchants,

Please state visibly that you accept NANO and I will be glad to link you here. As a customer I would like to learn about this payment option before having worked my way through to checkout. At the same time this is a great opportunity to advertise NANO as a currency ... on more than 130 sites so far!

Examples: 01, 02, 03, 04.


INTRO 1 (Jan 20, 2019)

After 13 months of adoption we are counting at least 155 shops / options to spend NANO.

This means a current growth rate of <1 shop per day.

NANO has been accepted so far in the US, CZ, GER, UK, CAN, AUS, BRA, FRA, AT, NL, TUR, PH, NZ, JP, RU + CW (Curaçao) + HR (Croatia), ITA, GR (Greece)!!

UPDATED COUNTER: 155 shops / options
