Blockchain: the solution for transparency in product Information architecture for a certification and chain-of-custody system on the blockchain Here we show how existing certifications and audits of supply chains can take on a new guise implemented on the blockchain. There are six different types of actors involved in our exemplar set-up: Producers (e.g., a cotton grower); Manufacturers (e.g., a maker of fabric or jeans); Registrars, which are organizations that provide credentials and a unique identity to actors (e.g., an accreditation service); Standards organizations, which define the rules of a certain scheme (e.g., Fairtrade); Certifiers and auditors, which are agents — usually separate agents, to maximize security — that inspect producers and manufacturers and verify certain standards, like annual production capacity; and Customers, the buyers of products all along a supply chains, including the end consumer. Below we explain the principal architecture. The architecture consists of a number of modular programs. Registration program
Community Owned and Operated Internet that’s Faster and Cheaper than Telstra | Transition Foundation It’s become very evident Telstra are not the group of people that can provide the people of Australia with reliable internet that is rolled out fast. The first trial rollout was completed in 2010 and 6 years later we are still waiting for the network. With the wealth Australia has, it’s shocking we are rated number 48 in terms of internet speed. And the hindrance it has on people’s intelligence is shocking… It means every time you are waiting for website to load, you have on average 10% of pages that fail to load, and all of them taking 10 to 20 seconds to load. (Of course all internet connections are different). But take the example of where I am located in Eudlo Sunshine Coast on ADSL1 Download speed: 6Mbs Upload: 0.1Mbs Here are my average site load times. So the average load time ends up being: 43 seconds. Lets say average internet User loads 139 sites per day. These stats may shock you. Total Time Wasted/day waiting for sites to load: 1hr 41mins To make this happen… Initial Funds
Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) Standardization through Abstraction Today's IoT is fragmented and heterogeneous, with each manufacturer attempting to impose their own standards. Because each additional Ethereum Computer deployed benefits the DAO participants collectively (in the form of incremental revenue), the DAO model encourages our community to leverage and promote a common, interoperable network, regardless of manufacturer. Transparency is Key A DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization, is a digital company with its by-laws set immutably within the Blockchain: its governance is transparent, its finances can be audited by anyone, it suffers zero downtime and corruption is impossible. Code is Law The DAO's token sale is itself governed by a smart contract, so everyone is able to track its progress on the Blockchain. Synergies throughout the Ecosystem
