Even sooner

We deal with plagiarism and educational identity theft really easy. There are more than 5 reasons why we are using Blockchain to build Open Source University platform. Some of them are authenticity, decentralising trust, less bureaucracy, direct interaction, security.

But let's us first get back to the meaning of the word "plagiarism". A simple example would be the case of me having a diploma from Boston University and you pretending to be me and having the same paper, right? We solve this problem by providing certification rights to the Boston University which means that they are the only authority to validate and verify my diploma on the blockchain. Once the transaction for initiating a new diploma (meaning mine, as it is the first one in our example) is been processed on the Blockchain, this action can not be undone - that's what we call immutable storage. If you pretend to have the same diploma like mine, first you need to convince Boston University as certification authority that basically You are Me, and that's the first thing and even if you succeed they have to try to rewrite the document and release a second one - which is impossible thanks to the technology.

Talking about identity in general. That's not a thing we are working on. But if you mean educational identity then we have the same case as the plagiarism but this time we include all the skills and achievements of a person. In this case you have to convince everybody that You are ME and also to try to change the "blocks" in the blockchain which is practically impossible.

I hope to have answered your question

Everyone could join the bounty program and contribute to the project the way he can. Currently we are accepting article from personal medium blog, steemit, website but also media associates

Please use the bounty thread for more questions of this kind and let us know more details about your idea - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3396211.new#new

Best,

Thank you. How I understood this information will be published with the beginning of the main stage of sales?

Thank you very much for the info. Now I see the difference and actually really like it. But how do you deal with plagiarism and identity theft? Sometimes it doens´t make it easier to store those sensible data online

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty-open-source-university-powered-by-edu-tokens-3396211
As you can see there are many kinds of bounty in which you can take part.

About your bounty program - is it intended only for owners of online periodicals or writers that work for another website (journal, for example) can also take part?

Thank you, I will study your project in more detail. The general concept looks original, I have not seen something like this in other projects. I think this system will find its niche in the market.

Thank you for your wishes.
I hope your team also rests, judging by the activity you do not have days off.

I think that the trust of such an information partner is a good sign for any project. Perhaps further development of the project will go easier with such a background.

@BitcoinBoy1337, thank you for this questions! Open Source University helps learners claim & advance their educational identity beyond borders by providing world's first immutable educational passport as a service on the blockchain. We are providing Universities and MOOC's with the opportunity to store, validate and verify their learners certificates on the Blockchain without the need of a third party. There fore our business is not related to education content creation, we are not educational platform in the meaning of content provider but rather the missing part to bridge the gap between Businesses and Academia.

The EDU token is the motor of this platform and allows you to store your certificates on the blockchain with zero fees. Thus you could have all your diplomas, certificates and achievements immutably stored and available worldwide. More about the tokenomics you could find in our Pitch deck - https://os.university/static/pitch-deck.pdf

I am available if you need more information!

Cheers,
Teddy

Everyone who is interested to know more - here is the AMA (ask me anything) session we had yesterday - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI7CoGgwFXw Enojy! Comment down below, if you have any questions!

Cheers,
Teddy

how does this differ from all the other educational platforms out there ? and what reason do I have besides using the platform to purchase the token?

We'll have official announcement when the MVP is released and in the meantime you could send your inquiry to be one of the first to join and test the MVP from here - https://os.university/platform - under platform players

Best!

@th4o, I do agree that we have similar idea in terms of using the word "verification". Open Source University is decentralised platform to provide learners with verified and validated credentials wallet. Those learners will have a digital credentials wallet but is has nothing to do with personal identity and government issues. This is an educational platform with a great market place for educational programs and courses of any kind. Imagine your knowledge, skills and career achievements stored on blockchain. That's what we do.

Teddy

Really soon we'll announce special bonuses. The first to contribute to the Open Source University project will have the chance to buy tokens with 40% bonus, at price of 1050 EDU = 1 ETH

Stay tuned for more updates very soon!

Thanks for the answer. I'll try to test the alpha version of your platform. For this, i will have to register and go through KYC?

Your platform very well follows the world trend of writing data to the distributed registry, I think it will be very in demand in the near future.

I see that now the project has many partnerships and support from the authorities. In fact, the project has been developing for several years with this money.
