The Forgotten Side of Decentralization
Where should content live on Web3?
One of the most challenging, and overlooked, aspects of decentralization is storage. Where should content live in Web3, and how should we securely and efficiently distribute it?
The Kauri knowledge network is designed to curate a high volume of long-form documentation, which may include graphs, pictures, videos, and other data rich file formats. Theoretically, you could store anything on the Ethereum blockchain, though gas costs increase substantially as the file size grows (at our current mid-September 2018 gas prices, 1 MB of storage would cost several hundreds dollars).
To handle this long-form documentation more economically, we’ve leveraged the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) as a distributed storage layer. However, handling both an index of the Ethereum address of the documentation author and the IPFS hash where that documentation is stored is still a challenge.
We’ve distilled our research down into essentially three decentralized solutions: on-chain index, side-chain index, and an IPFS read-only public index — the on-chain index being the most decentralized and the IPFS read-only public index being the least decentralized of the three options.
The core data required on the Kauri network is an index of at least the author address and the article hash. This index allows timestamping of user article submissions to the decentralized environment. The advantages and disadvantages of each option are discussed in greater detail below.
Storage Option #1: On-Chain Index
Setup
With an on-chain index, our data is stored on IPFS (though you can use Swarm, Storj, Sia, or any other distributed storage solution), and the fixed-length unique IPFS hash that points to the data is stored on the Ethereum blockchain via a transaction.
Advantages
By keeping the index on the main chain, a user can prove article ownership globally. The article is on the main chain and can be used by other dApps for a multitude of purposes: building on top of Kauri, creating and collecting badges, distributing your content, creating a global reputation. Imagine a global professional profile gathering your Kauri technical publications, Gitcoin solutions, Peepeth feeds, attendance at blockchain events and meetups, and so forth. On-chain storage is the most decentralized option of the three.
Disadvantages
The primary disadvantage is the cost of storing data to the main chain, which can be quite volatile. To alleviate costs, we’ve considered using a batching mechanism similar to Peepeth, where up to 15 actions are stored off-chain before being written as a batch to the main chain. Presumably, this 15 action limit is a figure based on the 280 character limit per “peep” and other Peepeth features such as following another user. There are some innate differences between Kauri and Peepeth, namely that Kauri is geared towards long-form documentation while Peepeth is geared towards tweet-like actions.
Cost-Reducing Batch Escalation
Escalating a batch of articles on Kauri requires storing and later retrieving the list of non-escalated articles from a MongoDB database prior to writing the data to the blockchain. Upon obtaining the non-escalated articles, a checkpoint file is generated and the root hash and checkpoint hash is signed, the checkpoint file is then uploaded to IPFS, the root hash, checkpoint hash, and trustee signature is returned to the frontend. The frontend then submits all the prior information to the smart contract which then generates an event. Following successful smart contract submission, the checkpoint file in IPFS is updated.
For the batch escalation solution, all the content is still stored on IPFS, though the index is centralized until someone either triggers the on-chain escalation or all articles are escalated periodically (e.g. every 24 hours, every other day, once a week). One issue with this batching solution is that while a user is storing their articles off-chain, someone could steal the original author’s work and claim ownership of an article that does not belong to them.
Storage Option #2: Sidechain Index
Setup
With a sidechain index, our data is stored on a “layer two” sidechain with the Ethereum blockchain as its base layer. That sidechain would use its own consensus rulesets specific to the use case, whether it be proof of stake (POS), delegated proof of stake (DPOS), proof of authority (POA), or other protocol. Loom Network and POA Network are two sidechain implementations we’ve researched for viability.
Advantages
By migrating article data to a sidechain, a user will enjoy only some of the benefits provided by the main chain (e.g. security, accessibility, transparency, multi-participants), but not all (e.g. loss of fault tolerance). A Kauri sidechain would be fast and free by definition, as it would presumably run in a less global environment with a POA or DPOS consensus protocol. The sidechain communicates bi-directionally with the main chain, allowing users to transfer an asset from the sidechain to the main chain. Lastly, other sidechain participants would be able to build on top of Kauri and its sidechain.
Disadvantages
For the uptick in speed and significantly decreased on-chain data storage costs made possible by a POS/DPOS/POA consensus ruleset on the sidechain, users forfeit decentralization, although the option to exit to the main chain should theoretically always remain available. Additionally, the sidechain can also experience data loss in the event that all participants shut down. It is also likely that at the outset a Kauri sidechain would be a single node implementation.
Storage Option #3: Read-Only Public Index on IPFS
Setup
Within the current Kauri environment, a read-only public index would be uploaded to IPFS periodically, presumably by the Kauri team, the current maintainers of the Kauri network. This is easy enough to implement, as the index could be scheduled for upload nightly, every-other-night, or weekly.
Advantages
By utilizing a public index on IPFS, users can still verify the consistency of the data served by the Kauri network. It’s also readily accessible via IPNS to anyone with the hash.
Disadvantages
On IPFS, only one participant can publish the index under a static unique name. Consequently, this solution is not censorship resistant (as it is maintained solely by Kauri). A read-only public index on IPFS also suffers with regard to speed, as publishing to IPNS currently takes approximately two minutes.
The Ask of Users For Each Storage Option
Option #1: On-Chain Index = Cost
For on-chain articles, Kauri users trust and transact directly with the main chain and pay the associated gas costs. The primary ask to the user is the transaction cost. Once the index is written to the blockchain, it can be extended to any other dApp and any other user in the blockchain.
Option #2: Sidechain Index = Time & Effort
For sidechain articles, in the case of a Loom or POA Network sidechain implementation, users do not pay main chain storage costs but are heavily leaned upon and must be positioned to immediately request exit from the sidechain in the event of any malicious activity. Exits from the sidechain are not instantaneous as challenge periods exist.
Option #3 Read-Only Public Index on IPFS = Time & Effort & Less Decentralized
For an IPFS read-only index, users would need to verify the consistency of the data served by the Kauri middleware API against the public index. In short, users will not be able to solely trust the main chain or the sidechain implementation with the expectation that the Kauri maintainers consistently and reliably publish the index in a timely manner.
Why Levying Storage Costs to the User is Wise
Option #1, an on-chain index, remains the most promising decentralized storage solution for Web3. The price paid by users ensures that the index is persistent on the main chain and that data is reliably extensible to any other dApp or any other user browsing the Ethereum blockchain. Sidechains, with a reliable implementation, offer some of the benefits of decentralization but introduce further complexity to the user, as data must be transferred from the main chain to the sidechain and the user must monitor the sidechain for malfeasance. A read-only public index on IPFS moves away from chain-related decentralization, instead distributing the index across IPFS nodes — a centralized environment in which only one participant under a static unique name can publish the index.
A secure, efficient, and elegant storage solution remains an ongoing challenge for the Ethereum ecosystem. The trilemma between security, decentralization, and scaling exists as much for handling transaction volume as for managing longer-form content. But between batching and sidechains, a number of compelling and decentralized storage options have emerged.
As developers test drive these Layer 2 solutions over the coming months — for both scaling and storage — the Kauri team looks forward to not just documenting their progress, but counting ourselves among the dApps who are also actively building these solutions for Web3.

Is decentralization the future of the way we do business?
Barely a year since the rise and fall of Bitcoin, some are surmising that we might be tiptoeing into a decentralized future.
Barely a year after Bitcoin, the biggest cryptocurrency in the world, reached incredible heights and fell from grace, digital tokens are starting to see themselves getting thrown in the spotlight once again. But what are cryptocurrencies? And what’s the deal with these digital coins?
Similar to real-world fiat currency, a cryptocurrency or digital coin/token is a digital currency made to work as a medium of exchange. Using what is called as cryptography to decipher and verify transactions, these coins are essentially entries in a database that is limited and can’t be easily changed if specific conditions go unfulfilled.

Introducing Cross-Apps (xApps
xApps are hybrid apps that are both decentralized and centralized at the same time — I can already hear you shouting “Nonsense… Sorcery… Burn him!” but please, read on.
Although I agree that once you get the bug, decentralization becomes your “raison d’être” and that we cannot trade it for “cheap” centralization, I strongly believe we have to think and act more strategically in order to find a common ground so that we can reach a decentralized world sooner rather than later.
You may have heard the terms Graceful Degradation & Progressive Enhancement before? For those who don’t, both are widespread web development techniques which are about ensuring a website is usable for most browsers
Graceful Degradation focuses on designing for modern browsers and having only the basic functionality on older browsers
Progressive Enhancement focuses on designing for all browsers and having extra functionality for modern browsers.
Most DApps creators are so obsessed with all the good things a decentralized world would bring that they tend to forget they are using a super cutting-edge browser while 99% of the web is still using a standard browser.
Whichever of those two approaches they choose, every respectable DApp developer should be conscious of how to make their app work within a more standard setup that would cover the technical and psychological flaws cited above.

Using xApps to Solve Blockchain’s Biggest Problem
Hint: It is not scalability!
I love decentralization, Blockchain/DLT, smart contracts and cryptocurrencies. However, there is one issue that hasn’t been solved yet in the Blockchain world: The Learning Curve
It is well-known that either you get the crypto bug, or you don’t. But before this happens, you need to go through a painful process which looks like this
Of course, everyone doesn’t fall in love with Blockchain at first sight. It usually takes some time, which varies in length for everybody, and during which each person goes through his own process, which allows them to forge their own opinion on why Blockchain is useful — or not!
So how do we get people to kickstart this thinking process AND come to the right conclusion?
There is no magic, most people must feel a need to use a solution based on Blockchain technology before they’re convinced or even feel they need to learn more about it.
In order to identify what that need could be, we need to ask the question: What problem do they have TODAY that can be solved using Blockchain… TODAY?
Finding a Real-World Problem
It is common knowledge that to create a successful product you have to identify a problem and then find the best way to solve it for your potential customers.
Although many people may forget it, this also applies in achieving widespread adoption of Blockchain.
Find a problem in your industry and then identify the best way to solve it using Blockchain. That is the key to getting people to learn more about the benefits of Blockchain.
Oh, wait… I forgot a small detail: Blockchain, in general, is extremely geeky. Often it feels like we’re back in the early days of the internet where the only people using the internet looked like this:
Before Emily (above) and others like her, start talking about the latest DApp on “DInstagram”, we, as a community, need to make sure that we shush our inner-geek and start thinking like Emily and- the other 99% of the population.
DApps are flawed for the 99%
Even if you have a killer idea that is solving a real-world problem for Emily, let’s face it, she is not going to install MetaMask and buy some ETH through Coinbase to surf on your DApp any time soon… (Unless she has that guy in the picture above to help her get started)
Currently, on most DApps, I noted these major flaws that would scare off 99% of the population right away:
People are not used to install other software before they visit and use a website
They are not used to print a 24 words seed and lose permanent access to their accounts if they lose it
They are not used to “sign” messages or pay fees every time they take an action on a website
They are not used to pay with a currency whose value is changing every minute
I am not disputing the facts some of these “flaws” are actually strong benefits when you look from the other side, I am just exposing what Emily and 99% of the population would feel at first.

Top 6 trends to expect in blockchain application development
Blockchain technology has been growing at a fast rate in the last few years. It is gaining popularity in different sectors of the economy. Several investors and brands are more interested in it than before. The demand for reliable blockchain development services keeps increasing as no one wants their resources to go down the drain. Without wasting time, here are the latest trends in blockchain application development.
1. Improved security measures
Due to the fact that fake blockchain development companies are on the rise, it’s imperative for everyone to be security conscious. Cybercriminals are always searching for vulnerabilities to exploit in software systems. There are speculations that hackers won’t relent to attack blockchain, so IOT devices aren’t the only ones at risk. Smart companies are expected to adopt foolproof security best practices for their digital assets.
2. Blockchain and the Internet of Things
According to a recent report, at least 20% of IoT deployments will be driven by blockchain services come 2019. The issue of IOT security is a major concern among startups and top firms. The good thing is that the blockchain industry can offer a lasting solution to this problem. In fact, blockchain algorithms have the capacity to protect sensitive information and promote direct communication among connected devices.
3. The emergence of new markets
Although Europe and North America are known to be the big markets of the blockchain, Asia,and the Middle East are set to take over in the industry. Some of the companies that banned different forms of digital assets are viewing the sector from another perspective. More markets should be expected as time goes on.
4. Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence
AI relies on big data to function properly and develop intelligent machines. Truth be told, blockchain technology is ready to transform AI in so many ways. For instance, the technology can allow individuals to sell their data directly to any interested company. Each transaction will be carried out securely and legally. This can go a long way to enhance better collaboration between data providers and AI developers.
5. Advancing to the production phase
Many companies no longer focus on leveraging Initial Coin Offering (ICO) as a fundraising tool alone. Experts have predicted that some of the companies that have high expectations regarding blockchain technology will ditch their plans. This is bound to happen after they discover that it’s not the solution to every problem. The rest will move from developing pilot projects to releasing final products to the market.
6. Ethereum
Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and it became mainstream in 2009. Later on, Ethereum which is built with a programming language known as solidity was introduced. This cryptocurrency is applicable in the programming of smart contracts. Other options like Hyper ledger and NEO are now available. They rely on dBFT (Decentralized Byzantium Fault Tolerance) and can process up to 10,000 transactions each second.
There are still lots of opportunities in blockchain technology that are waiting to be tapped. The trends continue to evolve and the future belongs to those who are ready to make well-informed decisions.

Why Millenials Love to Travel
Karla is a 31-year old graphic designer, living in Atlanta. She says that on average she spends about $10,000 a year traveling- maybe more- and she’s not alone.
Many studies suggest that a majority of millennials say they prefer to spend their money on experiences over owning things. In other words, they’d rather go on a 7-day backpacking trip to through Costa Rica, than to own a new Tesla Model S.
This generation is willing to work two jobs and not worry about things that past generations considered a sign of success like buying a house or saving for retirement.
The “experience economy”, a term coined by businesses built on creating memorable events for their customers, is quite literally consuming the travel industry with 72% of Millennials choosing to spend more money on experiences than material items.
And boy are millennials willing to spend on travel! In fact, they have an estimated $200 billion spending power!
Travel Contributes to Millennial’s Quest for “Uniqueness”.
We all know that millennials are known for placing an emphasis on being drastically unique from the preceding generations. Part of that uniqueness is expanding their identity through culturally rich experiences and exploration of the unknown. And, of course, travel provides both.
This means most millennial’s travel involves more adventure and the desire for more customisable experiences.
Social Media Inspires Travel
If you’re a social media user, I can bet that you’ve felt it once while watching a Snapchat story from the VIP section at a Taylor Swift show or maybe scrolling through the colorful and eye-catching photos taken by your best friend, who is now a “digital nomad” surfing the globe on a whim, sharing her marvelous adventures with you.
It’s that slightly jealous, tiny bit uncomfortable feeling that your life isn’t quite measuring up to everyone else’s. That’s called FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out.
And Millennials seems to experience more than any other group.
Think about the influence of social media on every aspect of our lives today. It affects nearly everything! Travel is no different. Social Media has completely changed travel, for both the traveler and the service provider, such as hotels, airlines or transportation companies.
According to many Millennials, FOMO is stirred-up when they see photos of exotic destinations or extraordinary adventures from their friends.
So much so, that when asked, 69% of millennials regretted not taking a last minute trip due to their FOMO!
And we know that people love talking about their travel on Social Media. On average there are 14 million mentions of travel on social media each month (Yes, 14 million — which is more mentions than Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift combined!)
And a whopping 97% of millennials post to social media when they are traveling, to share their experiences with their friends and followers.
So, as you can see, Social Media is (and will continue to be) a large influence on the destination and the type of vacation Millennials (and the rest of us too) chooses to book.
While there are many reasons that Millennials have placed an extremely high value on travel, the ones listed above seem to be the most influential.
So why do Millennials love to travel? Experience, inspiration, adventure, FOMO and — because they can.
End-to-End Trips Booked In Minutes
Until now, there wasn’t a place that would allow Millenials and other travelers to book an end-to-end trip, complete with local gems like hidden bars and local hangouts.
Please.com offers pre-designed, customisable, end-to-end trips, that you can book in minutes.
Yes, that means that by using Please.com, you can book trips that include everything from hotels and restaurants, to meal sharing, home rentals, and hobby sharing. We are a one-stop platform for booking everything you would or could ever want in a trip, in a fast, simple way!

Stay tuned: Please.com will be officially taking off in the fall of 2018!

Here’s Why Big Data Is Going to Love Blockchain Technology
The use case scenarios for blockchain technology seem to be never-ending.
From Ethereum platforms like Shipchain looking to fundamentally disrupt the way the world tracks shipping and logistics information, to people collecting new-age Neopets in the form of collectable CryptoKitties, the beginning of the blockchain revolution has just begun.
Every industry on the planet is now questioning whether or not the blockchain will be its greatest asset or biggest threat — and companies are quickly moving into the space, fueled by a fear of missing the “next big thing.
One of those industries, specifically, is web analytics and big data.
The rise of big data has presented a slew of issues for both big businesses and everyday consumers.
Major companies — from healthcare to entertainment to advertising, marketing, and beyond — have become more and more aware of every digital nuance: the way their website functions, how fast consumers can load their products, and even how exposed they are to a hack or data breach. And as seen with the Sony hack, those kinds of events can be catastrophic.
Where the intersection of the blockchain and big data has the most potential is in the quality of the data being captured.
According to VentureBeat
“If there is a ‘sweet spot’ for blockchain, it will likely be the ability to turn insights and questions into assets. Blockchains will give you greater confidence in the integrity of the data you see. Immutable entries, consensus-driven timestamping, audit trails, and certainty about the origin of data (e.g. a sensor or a kiosk) are all areas where you will see improvement as blockchain technology becomes more mainstream.
What this means is the data being captured by big businesses will become far more valuable — since it’s being captured and validated on the blockchain.
One of the ways we are seeing this shift manifest in the blockchain space is with a platform called Path.
As more and more people begin to adopt blockchain technologies, and companies see the immense value in tapping into that ecosystem, Path is striving to marry the two by allowing users to “rent” their extra bandwidth.
In short, a company may want deeper insights into how their website performs around the world, or how long it takes for their application to load, how cluttered their network gets at certain hours of the day, etc. Path users install what are called “Path Mining Nodes” onto their computers, which passively work in the background — earning tokens for providing these kinds of working insights back to Path and the clients they service.
This is just one of many blockchain platforms looking to capitalize on the massive need for companies to improve the data sets they analyze and leverage for their products and services. As mentioned above, the real value of data on the blockchain is the quality of data and how it is stored on the public ledger.
Platforms like Path, then, become the new-age middlemen between companies and the users they want to better reach.
What’s interesting about the blockchain revolution is the momentum behind passive programs that make use of unused power, memory, etc., for the improvement of another sort of service. It’s the 2.0 version of the sharing economy — very similar to how Uber made use of people’s cars without needing to “own” any of the assets themselves. Web analytics is just one example.
Another is Golem, referred to as “a decentralized supercomputer that anyone can access. It is made up of the combined power of users’ machines — from PCs to entire data centers.” In the case of Golem, you have a shared economy of computing power, making the collective much stronger than the sum of its parts.
With more and more of these passive blockchain platforms looking to operate in the background, the amount of quality big data and subsequent analytics are going to drastically impact the way companies do business all around the world.

Okay, let's see how far you will achieve even for the centralized services. Actually, it's good to have more of this platform, so travelers have options when they are booking their holiday vacations. More of this, means cheaper I suppose?
This is what we wanted to go for. Our platform is decentralized for the decentralized customers, whilst having the usability of a centralized platform. All of this, at no additional cost to the traveler.

It is very good that you have already made a demonstration of your project. This is a very big advantage over other projects, when it is not clear what will come out as a result. Good luck in business.

I would like to see technical documentation, white paper. For me, for example, the video is not enough to get an idea of the project.
Our white paper is currently work in progress. EDIT: Here's our whitepaper: https://protocol.please.com/assets/Please.com-Whitepaper.pdf
However we would love to have your thoughts on our demo on https://demo.please.com
You can actually deploy smart contracts in a breeze with ZERO coding required.
