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.

A lot of Galaxy S8 users are reporting problems with missing texts

The Galaxy S8 is one of the  best smartphones to debut in 2017 , but it seems like there is an increasingly large number of reports of people experiencing problems with receiving text messages on the phone. The reports all seem to have the Galaxy S8 in common, as most people report the problem no matter which carrier they're using. Threads for Galaxy S8 users on   Verizon ,   AT&T , T-Mobile, and   Sprint   reveal the same problem with delayed texts or texts not arriving at all. It also doesn't seem to be exclusive to a specific messaging app, as several reports show it's happening in the default Samsung SMS app, Textra, and even Android Messages. Someone suggested trying to turn off Advanced Messaging in the default messaging app to see if that stops text messages from being delayed but right now this solution is pretty anecdotal. Have you been noticing missing text messages on your Galaxy S8? Let us know in the comments. source: here via Blogger http://i...

Why would you want to build your own VR backpack? To save money and move freely!

One of the first issues we came across with the  HTC Vive  was the cable that follows you around the room, potentially tripping you up or pulling on the headset when you've taken time to get a perfect fit. While mainstream wireless VR systems are seemingly somewhere around the corner, some PC manufacturers have taken it upon themselves to create the next best thing: VR backpacks. The cable running from your PC to your headset is no longer a problem, and immersion is taken one step further. Unfortunately, these backpacks are usually prohibitively expensive, and, besides, you might already have the hardware needed to create your own. Is it possible? Is it worth the time? Let's find out! Pre-built backpack options Before we get into building our own backpack, let's take a look at some pre-built offerings from HP, ZOTAC, and MSI. HP OMEN X For  about $3,000 , you can grab this sleek, compact PC with an Intel Core i7-7820HK quad-core processor (CPU), an NVIDIA GTX 10...

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...
