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.

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.
