    Applying the Libra model to the SDR currency basket

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 11:27 AM PDT

    I just came across this article on coindesk arguing that the SDR currency basket in its current configuration is 'subject to national priorities and vulnerabilities' and that by adding a 'non-sovereign token of exchange that is free from political manipulation' (ie. bitcoin etc.) into the mix would add a 'robust apolitical anchor and layer of trust.'

    I would argue that this could be taken further still by applying the Facebook Libra model of governance / monetary policy to the SDR currency basket such that instead of a consortium of fortune 500 companies acting as nodes / decision makers, you have nations (ie. central banks?) acting as the SDR nodes deciding on the reserve currency mix / monetary policy of the global network / reserve currency - one bankster one vote.

    Thoughts?

    Last winter we had such a ball with our #MyCryptoWinter advent calendar. In fact, we found that we continue to share it with anyone who needs to up their security game.

    This summer, we wanted to do something a bit lighter. Something that would be accessible and fun and festive. Something that didn't try to take newcomers from zero to hero, but hopefully stroke their interest about the technology and possibilities. Something that could help get them interested in crypto, or perhaps just stop thinking it was all about smoking weed, flirting, and talking about prices. 😉

    We partnered with Brave as they are building something that 1) can be used RIGHT NOW and 2) that you don't have to be a crypto expert to use and immediately get value from. It's these types of products that will take crypto mainstream and we've been so impressed with what Brave has been doing.

    I could go on all day about how hard our team has worked on this and how impressed I am with how this turned out and give you all the juicy details but honestly, just check it out and let us know what you think. We're still in development for weeks 2, 3 & 4 so if you have any suggestions or feedback (aside from fully responsive styling 😜), I would love to hear it. https://summer.mycrypto.com

    Ps: each time you share your progress on Twitter, you up your chances to win sweet MyCrypto swag like exclusive tank tops, sunglasses, and stickers.

    Check it out now.

    How to stake Ethers?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 07:09 PM PDT

    I'm new here so let me know if I am breaking anything. Been following this space for a while now without a Reddit account - I just went in for the plunge today (finally). Just got my 32 ETH and I would really really like to take part on staking. I know of Rocketpool but would really like to have my own validator. I have a laptop and a net connection. Not requesting for an ELI5 (I am technical to a degree) but I am not an Ethereum developer either. I am comfortable on installing the latest Ubuntu (if I have to but this will waste my current Windows license on the said laptop). I just need step by step specifics from start to finish in either Windows or Linux (both will be beneficial to many I guess).

    Also, a few questions:

    1. I know that when you withdraw from staking (which can take about 18-27 hours if the exit queue is empty), the address that it goes into is predefined when you started to stake it. Is this address necessarily different to your ETH1 wallet? I.e. is ETH1 wallet addresses can be used to hold ETH2?
    2. What are the hardware requirements? CPU, RAM, Storage, Internet speed,...
    3. Can I configure multiple redundant gateways on my staking PC to make it more resilient when my PC's primary link goes down? Will the staking/validator software be able to utilize or benefit from this?
    4. Is there a minimum term to stake from when you start it?
    5. Will there be some manual maintenance required as we progress into the Phases in Serenity? I know of some Masternode coins like PIRL where the upgrades are done automatically to the software unless it was setup manually (maintenance will be also manual).

    Thanks in advance.

    How safe is acessing MEW with Json File?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 12:42 PM PDT

    Hey there,

    the website states that it is unsafe and not recommended. I don't want to invest in a Ledger yet. What could go wrong for example?

    thank you!

    Herriot Lux Pet Data Unification Protocol (PUP) - Concept - White Paper - Petcoin (PETC)

    Posted: 02 Aug 2019 08:19 PM PDT

    Openning up a discussion and peer review to challenge and question the concept Herriot Lux Inc, a not-for-profit organisation based in Melbourne, Australia, have developed since January 2018. The ERC20 token Petcoin (PETC) is a utility token that is a driver of the ecosystem we are building.

    Using a suite of applications addressing four problems:

    1. Poor horizontal transfer of pet health data.
    2. Lack of hybrid stablecoin payment system to allow cross-border settlement of pet insurance globally.
    3. High entry requirement for quality veterinary practice management software.
    4. Poor coverage of basic health care to pets owned by owners on restricted budgets.

    One of the choke points in veterinary data management is client data friction between clinics, clinicians, specialists, referral clinics and laboratories, all attempting to address patient problems with incongruous and often digitally incompatible data.

    What we are attempting to do with PETC is to solve this problem by creating a mobile pet owner-facing data storage app which seamlessly integrates and displays pet medical data from multiple vet clinics, specialty centers and laboratories.

    In Australia, there are a handful of professional veterinary software management programs (Rx Works, CHS, VetlinkSQL, IDEXX Cornerstone, Henry Schein). Most are proprietary and incompatible with other software. Some veterinarians use in-house ad hoc software systems.

    It is not uncommon for new clients at a clinic to present with multiple pages of historical data, often inconclusive or vague with respect to diagnoses and treatments.

    What we are attempting to create is a digital data management system for veterinary patient health records, stored within an app that is free to use, authorizes the pet owner as custodian of the data and allows seamless integration and updates from other veterinary sources (specialists, laboratories, prior clinics).

    The driving impetus to pull pet data toward the pet owner's app (and this drive adoption) is peace of mind arising from having cogent and integrated veterinary records on the single app. Pet owners will thus request and thus legally procure relevant data from their veterinary provider without compromising veterinary records or confidentiality.

    Blood results, radiographic and CT results, diagnoses, and medical therapies can be procured through pet owner request.

    For startup clinics, the app also functions competitively as a fully operational veterinary practice management software (VPMS).

    The app is currently being implemented as a beta app with CHS (Ciderhouse), a No. 2 VPMS based in Melbourne and operations worldwide.

    Starting in January 2018, we have also been working on CHS integrating our app with Petsure insurance underwriting. This feature will hopefully be rolled out in 2020.

    The PUP app features Petsure insurance underwriting, incorporated through Ciderhouse's CHS software. Insurance premiums and veterinary payout settlements will be done via a Herriot Lux proprietors stablecoin, provisionally called PUP.

    The advantage of using a utility token as a hybrid stablecoin for settlements of insurance premiums and payments is that they allow immediate, secure, decentralised, low fee payments across borders.

    In addition to using Petcoin (PETC) obtained through the app as a form of Pet Savings, tethered to Australian Dollars. Petcoin can be earned in a variety of ways, including being a petsure.com.au pet insurance policy holder and an amount of Petcoin given when taking out cover for the first time or during policy renewal. This Petcoin can be redeemed at market rate to contribute to insurance gap costs for treatments and consultations and the Vet being paid in Australian Dollars.

    Balance tracking through the mobile app would display a Tethered Value (value amount of fiat currency used to obtain Petcoin) and a Market Value (value that can be attained for PETC on digital exchanges). In the event that the market value becomes lower than the tethered value, the mobile app user can still access the value as is held reserve by Herriot Lux.

    A tokenised ecosystem has all the features of fiat without the high fees associated with other fiat payment methods. With users in multiple countries, Herriot Lux would be able to settle premiums and payouts immediately without waiting for bank settlement.

    Initially tethered to the AUD$, but over time would be weighted against other currencies including the US$ and GBP£.

    The advantage of tokenised hybrid stablecoin settlements of insurance premiums and payments is that they allow immediate, secure, decentralized, low fee payments across borders. Enabling Vets to accept Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital assets and being paid in Australian Dollars, with PUP facilitating the conversion.

    Most VPMS software are limited to Western country based veterinarians, with poorer countries relying on open-source software such as MS Excel, etc.

    A low cost veterinary practice management software (VPMS) oftware would be incorporated into the app as an add-on feature, either through an in-house VPMS or use of existing VPMS such as CHS through software licensing agreement.

    Our medium term goal is to develop PUP into its own blockchain amalgam. A public/private chain for pet data including genealogical lineage validation, genome data an immutable memorialisation enshrining an animals social media content alongside medical history. On top of the aforementioned features.
