Get paid to search the internet !

Say goodbye to those days of supplying data to the internet webpage owners for free. Henceforth,do your search of the internet strictly with Presearch and get paid to do so. Fine thing is: you still get search results from all the old sites you trust plus new reliable ones you never knew.

Unification’s UAPPs the biggest fish in the sea called data economy.


The above statement is so true that in making it, I have no fear of being contradicted. The unification APP is a quantitative leap in the evolution of the data economy so much so that, once it is fully deployed, the data economy is sure to move to a new level. I shall soon make clear why this is so.

Permit me here to further explain what data economy is as this concept is in itself relatively new.

Whereas we all generate data, either at individual or corporate level, the standard up to recent times has been to place such little value on the data so generated that we often freely sign away the right to them in exchange for the right to use certain services even when we are paying for such services as in hospitals, banks etc.

As the computer and the internet matured, they made it possible to collate very big amounts of such data and with the introduction of machine learning and artificial intelligence, the collation, analysis and transmission of these data moved a few steps up. This gave  birth to the concept of Big Data.

If was soon discovered however that the collated data was not quite so adequately detached from the person it was generated from. Thus successful incursions into the data silos (centralized) could , and in many instances did, put the persons linked to the data in grave danger It also could act as a powerful tool in the hands ill-intentioned data thieves .

This in brief explains why the GDPR was ultimately established.

In spite of the danger posed by centralized data silos and generally by the old order of data gathering and data acquisition, the GDPR could not go so far as prohibiting data gathering. This was so because the emergence of big data has led man to new, admirable heights in the use of data to capture new heights in his evolution in crucial areas like health, environment etc.

The GDPR however set crucial new parameters for data gathering and in respect of the continued claim of the data generation to the data limited to them. Two of the crucial parameters relate to (1) The right of the person generating data to give or withhold permission for the use of data linked to him (his data)  and (2) the right to have such data erased.

The terms the data generator was allowed to set included the right to obtain value exchange (monetary or in kind) for the release of his personal data or to expressly grant it for free.

This proposition for the incentivisation of the data owner essentially led to what is now known as the data economy.

The data ecosystem has a number of persons that play different roles along the value chain that it represents. These are:

1.  Data providers: these collect user data by providing engaging application/ services. They possess silos in which such data they obtain are stored.

2.  Data consumers: these are entities willing to obtain data in exchange for some remuneration. They may also be data gatherers who simply need to extend their store of data by purchasing from other data gatherers (providers)

3.  End users are the sources of the generated data. They offer their data either directly  who or in the course of consuming an application or service.

This chain suffered from the absence of certain elements. Most significant was the need to keep the data from falling into wrong hands and to ascertain the source of leakage if such did happen.

Man was fortunate in that this new realization coincided with the appearance of a new technology – the Blockchain technology – which holds great promise for solving issues relating to data handling – capture, storage and retrieval especially.

Even so, some problems persisted. One was that there was no unified method of standardization and transfer of data. Thus, although individual data silos had moved up in terms of the size of data they could handle, their capacity for analysis etc, the overall data industry remained fragmented and enterprises could not transfer data one to the other in a seamless fashion.

Herein lies the  huge significance of the introduction of Unification's data liquidity  protocol which deploys a series of software development kits (SDKs) as CAPSULE on enterprise servers to standardize and encrypt data(the enterprise's existing data), allowing persons involved to transfer data peer to peer in a harmonized format.

The developers of the unification project also observed one other hurdle – the potentially high cost of storing data on the Block chain. Blockchains are arguably not the most conducive to storing large quantities of data. They are also not adequately secretive enough since anyone could query a block chain all the way back to its genesis block such that a compromised algorithm  could enable the jumping of access hurdles.  Finally, it was recognized that the immutable nature of blockchain represents a potential violation of the right of the user to have his/her data erased.

In reaction to the above, data is not stored on chain in the Unification project.  On-chain transaction is limited to hashes of  the data which are used to validate the data.  Actual data transfer is done outside the block chain via State Channels.

A final significant element of the Unification project is its Unified Verifiable Credential ID (UVCID) infrastructure which allows actors to securely issue, hold, distribute and cryptographically verify personal information.

Unification is in-sum an ecosystem of Data providers, Data consumers and Data end – users that utilizes blockchain technology, Machine learning and auxiliary software components to allow the monetized, secure transfer of data(Data Liquidity)

It is built around a web of smart contracts which allow the utilization and flow of data transfer agreements between Data Providers and Data Consumers while putting the control of the data flow in the hands of the users themselves . This is in recognition of the fact that data suppliers ultimately own and should be  remunerated for  their data. 

While unification is not the only blockchain project in this sphere, it distinguishes itself by  introducing :
a.   A data standardization protocol, thus enabling data liquidity.
b.  Avoidance of the potentially high cost of on-chain storage of data through the use of state-chain and its replacement by data hash and
c.   A credential ID infrastructure (UVCID).

 This game-changing project deserves the patronage of all cryptocurrency investors and adoption by all data economy actors.

Xentimentum : Blochchain changes the medical sector paradigm !


Man realised a long time ago that prevention is better than cure. His capacity for living by this dictum however remained constrained by a number of factors such as :
A.      His knowledge of diseases
B.      His knowledge of the early symptoms of ( even known) diseases
C.      His access to 24/7 monitoring of patients( potential patients as well as post treatment patients
D.      Lack of continuity in the data concerning patients,( due to lack of cooperation between medical institutions)  even when such data existed
The disruptive power of Blockchain is about to be deployed in this area of human life.
While there are a number of teams towards this, a project by the name Xentimentum is the clear leader  of the pack.
Once the intervention is complete, the following changes are expected amongst others:
1.       No matter the number of places (medical institutions ) a patient is treated in, no matter the distance between the places and no matter  how far between are the times of treatment, a patient will have a singular body of medical report. This body of records will be recorded on the blockchain and accessible from anywhere in the world and at any time, subject only to appropriate right os access
2.       There will be larger bodies of anonymised personal data accessible throughout the world and this will enable a wider  spread of the study of diseases which should accelerate the recognition and treatment of diseases
As we enter into this new era, Blockchain is nit the only relevant technology. It is being aided by two very important developments, namely Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT)

As mentioned earlier, the use of Big Data and  Artificial Intelligence means that we are  analysing of a bigger body of data and therefore ca recognise bigger and finer patterns and that we can reach more valid conclusions.
Let us now look more closely at Internet of Things (IoT) !
Ever greater number of equipments used for measuring vital data in the medical field are acquiring :
i.                     The capacity for digital and therefore more accurate measure of their targeted data
ii.                   Capacity to store anad recall such data such that the data can be reviewed for patterns and trends
iii.                  Capacity to transmit such data in any or all of the following ways –
a.       To another machine or equipment such that appropriate reaction or followup action is triggered
b.      To a data aggregation device for both storage and analysis
c.       To a remotely located care giver , be it human or robot
This development means that patients (along, in some instances, with their environment can be monitored 24/7. This happens even when they are not on admission in a hospital and, when they are on admission, without medical personnel keeping vigil over their beds,

The above development will assist monitoring medical centres to have timely knowledge of a change in the condition of patients and to intervene in a timely manner,
When these facilities are combined with geo-locational technology, it means that even when the patient is not located within reach at the time an emergency occurs, he or she can be directed to the nearest location of expert intervention.
Xentimentum, the coin behind the launch of this new era in Medical practice will have it s ICO from to but you can pick a few for free in a an ongoing Bounties program. Given the numerous benefits as outlines earlier, the coin certainly deserves our support.

SPHEROID UNIVERSE SPACE: YOU NEED A PURCHASE STRATEGY.


Note: This piece is targeted at those who already know what Spheroid Universe is, have registered and obtained bonuses ( or otherwise have their money ready ) and are set to purchase spaces. If you are not in this category and need further explanation on what Spheroid Universe is, you may need to get a background fill-up by reading my earlier pieces on various aspects of the Spheroid Universe listed below:







Spheroid Universe has most of the characteristics of land even though it is not physical land, In transacting business relating to it therefore, it becomes pertinent to employ some real estate strategies.

One of these strategies relates to the nature of real estate as investment. In investment, you may actually begin to lose money from your point of purchase if you miss one of two important considerations – time and price. You have to buy at a time when the value of the land (space) has a higher probability of going up than otherwise. You also have to buy at a price that is so appropriate that finding a buyer in the future at a price that will be profitable to you is more likely than not.
Another important aspect of real estate assessment is location. The nearer a piece of land is to the hotspots of demand for its intended use , the higher the value it has and, I consequence, the price you can reasonably pay for it, Of course, same goes for the price you can reasonably expect to have for it at the point of disposal.

The latter factor has been well reflected in the pricing policy adopted by the promoters. That is why a spheroid space in the capital of some countries is being offered for 50SPH whereas the same dimension of space in the remotest corners of some other country is going for much more, the average price in some continents is much less than the average price for the same space dimension in some other countries etc.  Spaces in Trafalgar Square for example are 2000 SPH, space in the Museum of African History, Washington DC, USA 8,000 SPH. They even go as far as refusing to put up some spaces for sale at any price. You can see an example of this in Pretoria, South Africa. Clearly, Spheroid Spaces like physical land do not come equal.

So, what strategies do I recommend?

The first strategy I use is that I do a lot of virtual tour of the world using the Spheroid Universe marketplace.  I key in the name of places that I suspect might both be going for the price I am ready to pay and have the kind of value I desire to have.

Incidentally, you don’t immediately know the price of a Spheroid Universe space just by looking at it. What I do is that I click these spaces so it gets listed as a space reserved by me, upon which the price tag is also immediately reflected. If it is way beyond my reach, I immediately release it, having taken note of the price, which is the crucial element I was seeking.

When I have entered into a country’s (or a town’s) geographical space, I also actively search for spaces of strategic importance. For me, these include Universities, Libraries, Museums, Cinemas, Theatres and other spots of tourist and artistic significance.

My search is not limited to the Spheroid Universe map. Sometimes, I also search for specific types of space using other websites and, having learnt the name of spaces that fit my interest specs, I come back to the Spheroid Universe map and locate it. It is in this manner, for example that I have come to know of Disneyland facilities in various parts of the world that come much cheaper that the home Disneyland in USA.

 The price of these spaces is fixed so you really do not have a say in the matter. You either buy or leave it. However, when you encounter a space with desirable features, you can search for spaces that have the potential for attaining these features in the future as was the case when. Upon finding Disneylad, USA unattainable, I went for Disneyland, Hong Kong.

As for the time to purchase, I do not think that any time will ever be better than NOW. It is a case of catching a rising star. Once any investment item hits the market, the price can either go up or down, Spheroid Universe space however has one important feature which makes it hardly likely that it will ever go down in price from its initial offer price – it is finite in supply.

Two factors will undoubtedly drive price upwards viz ever increasing awareness of the usefulness of these spaces and the completion of sale of the spaces. These then are the two factors which we all must work towards bringing into existence.

Thanks to the promotional offer of bonuses, you can actually get some of these spaces for the lowest price ever possible- Zero. All you have to do is, register and link your SpheroidUniverse account with your Tweeter, Facebook and Telegram accounts. Get your first 1,000 SPH bonus and commence acquiring your SpheroidUniverse spaces with zero outlay from your pocket.

By following some additional instructions, you can actually get as much as 2,250 SPH. Also, you get 250 SPH for every person you refer who takes appropriate action to acquire the first 1,000 SPH bonuses. If you will rather acquire a few medium to high priced spaces, therefore, you can wait to accumulate all these bonuses before you begin you purchases.

That brings us to one essential real estate strategy applicable to our quest to acquire Spheroid Universe spaces: don’t ever be in such hurry as to pay for a land (space) until you have done all necessary due-diligence and satisfied yourself that it is the best offer you can get, Speed should not be ignored since you are not the only one eyeing these spaces. All the same, within reasonable time limits, ‘if you have found a good deal, give yourself the task of locating a better deal’ in the time-tested fashion of chess players.

LABORCRYPTO MOVES THE FREELANCE ECONOMY TO THE NEXT LEVEL


The future of work is for more people to opt against fixed hours jobs in favour of working only when they want, where they want and for the number of hours they want or is convenient for them. It is called the freelance economy.

In places like North America which are leaders in this trend, 35% of the work force is already operating in this mode and, globally, the mode is reckoned as a $3 trillion dollar market.
This is the economic sector which Laborcrypto is in the process of disrupting.

I say “in the process of disrupting” deliberately. Laborcrypto is not one of those projects that is seeking funds to start a new, untested project. The team behind it had up to now run a project by the name ChoreRelief, doing essentially the same thing. We are talking here not even of a breakaway group but of the same team moving its project to a new level that is compliant with the latest technology.

This same team ran ChoreRelief and built a clientele of 10,000 North American clients with that number growing 30% monthly , all that in just a few months. These discerning North American clients did not flock to the team and its project for nothing. They did so because ChoreRelief
created value for the consumer by allowing them to name their budget, control their time, eliminate the noise and wasted communications and reduce the transaction to a quick, painless, and affordable solution.

The clients were quite satisfied too and it is rather the considerate and visionary owners of the ChorRelief project that  is  ,on its own , seeking to move ahead, having seen that the emergent Blockchain technology  can add a fundamental plus to the values delivered by ChoreRelief.
Such a visionary and humane leadership can only bring forth a winning proposition. They expressly seek to create a system in which all participants are so equitably incentivized and rewarded that even the user see the project as his own, invites others to join it and generally works towards its improvement.

The remarkable features of this proposition are as follows :

1.       The promoters have settled for a 3%commission which is almost a zero commission, given the fact that the users would have paid about this amount on payment processing alone if he used other freelance work options. The previous middleman fee is totally eliminated.
2.       The freelancer receives and keeps 100% of his fee. With the use of cryptocurrency, he also gets paid instantly as against waiting days or weeks.
3.       The use of cryptocurrency also opens the benefits previously delivered by ChoreRelief to the unbanked .
4.       The freelancer is enabled to hire other freelancers when he is working on a large service offering.
5.       They plan to share the Platform Transaction Revenue with the user on a quarterly basis I,e 50% of the Platform Fee Revenue and 50% of the Platform Advertisement Revenue.
6.       They plan to partner with other freelance platforms to extend the use of the token.
7.       The promoters are firm that only those who actively use the platform will earn from the revenue share , which they state in three different places in the whitepaper, emphasizing that “ utility token holders will not be able to earn based on the work of others” pp. 6, 22 and 26.
8.       Finally, there is a beautiful and clearly workable provision for dispute resolution.

This wonderful team knows its onions. It has done it before in the ChoreRelief project with clear, measurable and demonstrable indices. The singular reason why they are moving unto the Laborcrypto project is to solve the issues which the ChoreRelief project could not solve and which the Blockchain technology is an answer to. The above listed provisions show that they have made maximal use of the opportunity, including opening up the project worldwide.
