Blockchain

 

Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger technology that enables secure and transparent record keeping. It is often used to facilitate transactions, such as financial transactions or the transfer of digital assets.


 

A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain. Each block in the chain contains a number of transactions and a reference to the previous block, forming a chain of blocks. This creates a permanent, unchangeable record of all transactions that is stored across the entire network.

The most well-known application of blockchain technology is Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency. However, blockchain can be used for a wide variety of other applications as well, such as:

  1. Smart contracts: Blockchain can be used to execute and enforce the negotiation or performance of a contract automatically.

  2. Supply chain management: Blockchain can be used to track the movement of goods and materials through the supply chain, increasing transparency and enabling more efficient logistics.

  3. Digital identity: Blockchain can be used to establish and verify digital identities, which can be used for a variety of purposes such as access control, voting, and more.

  4. Digital voting: Blockchain can be used to secure and transparent voting process

  5. Digital asset management: Blockchain can be used to manage and track ownership of digital assets, such as music, art, and other forms of media.

  6. Non-financial transaction: Blockchain can be used to record and verify all kind of transactions, such as property records, medical records, and more.

  7. Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Blockchain enables to create decentralized finance platforms, like lending, borrowing, trading, and more.

To use blockchain, you can either use existing blockchain platforms like Ethereum, EOS, etc or you can build your own blockchain network using a variety of open-source blockchain development platforms and frameworks, such as Hyperledger, EOSIO, or Ethereum.

It's important to note that blockchain is still a relatively new technology, and its use cases are continually evolving. It's important to research and understand the technology before using it.

Xiaomi Mi A1 XDA Review: Android One and Xiaomi Hardware Result in a Delightful & Affordable Stock Experience

The Xiaomi Mi A1 is one of Xiaomi's biggest releases of the year 2017. Despite its overall humbling package, the phone marks a few important milestones for the Chinese company as well as for the Android ecosystem. The Mi A1 is important because it is the  first Xiaomi smartphone to ship without Xiaomi's own custom UX , MIUI on top of the Android OS. It is also the first device that is  the result of a reboot of Google's Android One program  —  an initiative that saw little success in its first phase in India . The Mi A1 is also the first Xiaomi device in recent times that does not see an equivalent launch in China, becoming the first Xiaomi device to be India-exclusive at launch. But does the Mi A1 with its Android One branding provide the value experience we are used to from Xiaomi? In this review, we'll take an in-depth dive into the Xiaomi Mi A1. Rather than listing specs and talking about how the experience felt, this feature attempts to prov

UBER IOS APP CAN VIRTUALLY ‘SEE’ YOUR PHONE SCREEN, AND APPLE APPROVED IT

WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU Permissions inside the Uber app sound like a privacy nightmare, but have never been abused, and will soon be removed. To better prepare its Apple Watch app, Uber used technology enabling it to view and record what was happening on an iPhone's screen, even when the Uber app was only running in the background. The permission to do this was granted by Apple, and although Uber claims not to use the system anymore, it remains part of the app. The news comes from Sudo Security Group, which unearthed the capability — called an Entitlement — in the Uber app. While this sounds like a security and privacy nightmare, the entitlement doesn't work like a screen-recording app, according to an app researcher speaking to  Gizmodo , and will be removed from the app soon. What it does is visualize colors and pixels on the screen, not precise details. However, the concern is this data could be decoded and interpreted to reveal sensitive personal inf

AOL Instant Messenger is shutting down on December 15th

It's the end of an era. AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) is officially shutting down on December 15th,  Oath announced this morning. AIM started out as the built-in chat application in America Online's desktop client, but it really took off after it was broken out as a separate application in 1997. The app, and its iconic messaging sound, were staples for anyone who spent too much time on the web in the '90s and early '00s. Really though, the writing was on the wall for AIM since  AOL laid off most of the division  in 2012. AIM also started  cutting off third-party access earlier this year, which was a big sign the service was on its way out. Oath -- the new Verizon company that includes AOL, Yahoo, and yes, Engadget -- isn't saying what, exactly, will be replacing AIM. For now, though, Yahoo Messenger seems like the best possibility. "AIM tapped into new digital technologies and ignited a cultural shift, but the way in which we communicate with each o
