Hello,

The rest of the team is "silent" here because they are too busy to be posting.  The only reason "I" post here is because if I don't, someone will come in and say I have disappeared or some nonsense to FUD.



Cheers!


Chris

I appreciate the updates on all your work.
Are the rest of your team mostly silent here?
I'm interested to see how this all goes. Got my bag-o-popcorn

So here is the thing,

Bitland is starting to get picked up in Real Estate Blogs:

http://realtybiznews.com/bitland-introduces-digital-land-registry/98733236/


When Real Estate blogs are talking about this project, I believe we have succeeded in initially breaking beyond the "crypto" media sphere.  Now, after France, things are going to get really crazy


Cheers!

New article out about Decentralized Conglomerate and OpenLedger.  I get a few shout outs in the article, so expect this one to be circulating pretty heavily:

http://bitscan.com/articles/digital-leadership-a-major-benefit-of-the-decentralised-conglomerate-over-the-dao

'For all its exciting possibilities, that overarching strategy is missing in a DAO – almost by nature. The problem with a DAO, explains blockchain specialist and Decentralised Conglomerate entrepreneur Larry Christopher Bates, is that it has no institutional memory: no narrative of its history, its vision or its mechanisms for digital leadership, or indeed anything else. When you have no board, no structure at all – when your business mechanisms are fully embodied in smart contracts and code – leadership is a paradoxically collective endeavour. There are no leaders. Everyone is a leader.

The DAO’s hive-mind has benefits in that it can be run – indeed it can only be run – by its holders, for its holders. But therein lies a problem. The holders may or may not understand the nature of the business; may or may not share the original vision, or the current vision, or any vision; may or may not achieve consensus with each other. If a DC is a school of fish, all moving freely but with awareness of the mutual aim and direction, the DAO risks becoming something more like the random activity of Brownian motion. Anyone who has kept track of the bitcoin scalability debate knows what can happen when you decentralise decision-making.

And this, for the DAO, is the kicker: how do decision-makers – that is, everyone – ensure they really do have what they need to make the right call? That means not only information, but judgement and experience. ‘If the information can be trusted, if it is reliable and if it is authentic, business decisions are made faster and are more likely to be trusted because of the quality of the information upon which decisions were based.’

This, Bates suggests, will give DCs an inherent advantage over DAOs. ‘A DC has business records, and a unified mission goal driving information analysis. A DC will evolve much faster, and be much more agile than a DAO,’ he explains. ‘With a DAO, there is no organized effort for all the capital, so it goes in different directions based on a “democratic” vote.

The bottom line: a democratic system will often end up benefiting everyone equally – by benefiting no one at all. In the evolutionary environment of the market, it won’t take long to learn which is the more profitable and sustainable approach.'

Don't forget, if you have Tether that you are sitting on, you can use Omni platform to purchase Cadastrals:

https://www.omniwallet.org/assets/details/62

All tokens not sold in Phase 2 will go to Omni Portal at 2% weekly increase, so get your Cads before phase 2 ends.  Sale price is only going up until all tokens are sold.

Cheers!

Chris

Yes,and little by little they will.I like how Chris explains stuff,there should be more people like him in this world!

Thanks for your support!  We are doing our best to make sure we have the best chance at success possible

Cheers!


Chris

At least for me this all makes sense. There are already working asset registries based on blockchains available (e.g. diamod), but I think that most (if not all) of them are based on private blockchains. 

I am following this actively and also will do my little part by participating in POA.

I really hope that you and this project will succeed!

Viva Technology Paris Panel Agenda has been confirmed!

I get 30 minute roundtable discussion alongside:

Primavera de Filippi
Pierre Noizat


The subject of the panel will be "How blockchain technology offer new tools to governments?" (Please note the wording is currently being finalized by editorial committee).

This is going to be surreal for Bitland

Stay tuned!


Cheers!


Chris

Very well said, I will take it all under consideration. Good luck with this project. 

I have just been doing some aggregation, and here is a list of Bitland articles or articles that mention Bitland within the past week:

Hello,

I am actually in Indiana, as the team is spread around the globe.  I know how few people here in the states know about digital currency, which is why I am focusing my efforts into areas that NEED development and don't care what is powering the technology if it is a working solution.  The people in Ghana are ready for change.  The people in US are not.  First world comfort means that something like "blockchain technology" isn't super appealing when you already have bank to bank transfers and FDIC insurance up to $150k.  Blockchain is a step BACKWARDS in some cases for many americans who don't care to pay extra cost if they have insurance on their transaction. 

I have just finished a second Master's degree in cyber-security for large scale organizations, and in the process was familiarized with the problems of scaling, and equipped with strategies and solutions to avoid the pitfalls of being "too successful". 

Part of the reason that we are creating a blockchain dedicated to land titles and the asset management associated with it is to avoid the bloat that would eventually come with too many transactions of different types.  There is no reason that the chain that is tracking transactions from grocery stores needs to be tracking the same transactions as selling plots of land or homes.  Further, "blockchains" vs. "openchains" and combinations of a macrochain with microchains linked to it are all different approaches to solving bloat, and all are being considered when developing our protocol.

We want to create something that works for the person who needs it, and doesn't care about blockchain technology.  We also understand that blockchain technology is the future when it comes to securing the cloud and storing information. 

In addition, all our activities will always have government oversight, as that will be necessary to make all the transactions legitimate.  Since we are running pilot projects, the larger scope of the grand scale isn't an issue that will affect the "pilots".  Since the pilot programs are being run to see what works and what doesn't, this is essentially the first wave of testing to see what we need to do to make sure that it scales properly. 

Everything is theoretical until you can run tests, and that is what the pilots are needed for.

I hope this makes sense


Cheers!

Omni has officially integrated Cadastrals for sale, and link is live:

Thank you for the reply, I will do my research, but I think the main reason for my reluctancy is the large project aspect. Here in the U.S., I read that 90-95% of the population doesn't even know what a BITCOIN is and seeing that you're working in the crypto space in an underdeveloped country (due to political reasons) on a large scale project lessens my interest. Like, I said, I will do my research. Good luck to you on this project. It is a grandiose project, but an amazing one if accomplished.

I don't know exactly what to tell you, but I don't want anyone to feel any hesitance when participating.  Do your due diligence, and research everything about the project before you decide to put anything towards it.  

We are trying to do something that is not going to be easy, and I understand that people see a large scope project and have hesitance about the viability, the pragmatism, or whatever their reasons for questioning whether it will be accomplished.  

I can tell you that I have been up since 7 AM this morning making a partnership with Kottackal.org to be our auditing partner, have been working on voting system requirements to work with Openledger team tomorrow to get implementation of voting, and have been working with Omni up until "now", to get Cadastrals integrated with Omni platform.  I have worked about 13 hours today if you take out the time for eating and going to the gym to get away from computer.



These projects are my life.  I am 33 years old, I don't need to grow anymore physically (meaning i don't need 8 hours of sleep ).  I don't really sleep much, and am working most of the time, because this is what I am put on this Earth to do.  This project is about more than land titles, it's about the people having protection against abuse of hidden ledgers and transactions.  It's about bringing blockchains to governments and saying "hey, we have a better way to keep track of your money so you can't abuse it".  It's about making it possible for disenfranchised communities to have a new means of bringing in capital to start development.

If you look at this project as a coin, you will miss that the blockchain is simply the ledger to make everything public.  The actual project is about building "smart communities" that have digital representation of physical space, with new ways to create jobs and have government oversight without too much intervention necessary.

We are trying to put the blockchain into the real world, and put the real world into the blockchain.


Cheers!


Chris

Oh, absolutely!  Sorry for the confusion


Cheers!


Chris

i mean after you are done. will there be a video online?

Man, I want to invest in this project, but something is telling me to pull back. Let me know why I should join the ICO???
