Topic: ---> Major Crypto News and The Birth Of Blockchain 4.0 Is Upon Us! (Read 196 times)

Smartcontract can be considered as a blockchain's feature caused by the smartcontract of ethereum have already developed used bitcoin source code.
If you are saying scalability and interoperable will be blockchain 4.0 and is not it already available when it comes to the sharding blockchain like zilliqa or etc?

Bitcoin and the original blockchain technology don't go anywhere. The reference to blockchain 1.0, 2.0, and so on represent the the advancements made in blockchain technology and what era we might be in.

Blockchain 4.0 is the point at which we believe Mass adoption will start. Think about it, cryptocurrency itself is pretty difficult to use, we need to simplify it and make it very easy to anybody to use.

Just imagine a day when you can send your ETH to your friend but yet he gets Bitcoin come out the other end instead because that's what he wants and that's what makes interoperability so important.

I can accept that smart contracts and dapps are so important for this market. But do you really think that what you are talking about can even create some of the effect Bitcoin has had? Despite all its years and technological development, the most important element of this market is Bitcoin and blockchain. So of course, scalability and interoperability are very important issues, but without what we call Blockchain 1.0 it makes no sense!

I really like the way Verus :

• Has developed new software for blockchain that is original, which pushes the possibilities of the technology, and makes it easy for everyone to just use.
• Always harnessed the open source community by embracing other technology, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
• Has got a prolific lead developer who's credentials are attested and are fully opensource.
• Has got traditional businesses exited in using the Verus technology. As it presents its solutions in ways they can be easily used.
• This one might trigger a reaction but I have noticed very little negativity surrounding Verus as it wants for nothing but has so much to offer.
• Its community is a great bunch of diverse people with no cliques or prejudices.

I could go on but just install discord if you haven't and join the community..  .

It has finally arrived! Blockchain technology has just about evolved far enough to allow Mass Adoption to start taking place.

Blockchain 1.0: Currency (Bitcoin)
Blockchain 2.0: Smart Contracts
Blockchain 3.0: DApps (DApp is an abbreviated form for decentralized application)

Blockchain 4.0: Making blockchain easily scalable and interoperable!

The new testnet, which will be coming any day now (hopefully tomorrow), will support both token currencies and token launches, as well as blockchain currencies and blockchain launches. We may release testnet first with only token launches before the blockchain launches are enabled to get people started testing tokens launching them, and sending them around.

Any ID can be used to launch a token with the "definecurrency" API.

Almost all of the same parameters for tokens apply to blockchains, but blockchains can emit coins, merge mine (new limit of 22 blockchains at once from 15) and stake, have multi-currency fractional reserves, and support zero knowledge on the native currency of any chain.

Tokens enable participation at launch in multiple currencies as a way to convert, so for example, if there is a USD token, BTC token, and VRSC coin, you could make a currency that can be purchased by any of those three prior to launch at a specified conversion rate.

You can specify different conversion rates for each currency, as well as a minimum and maximum.

Each token or blockchain also has a start block on the VRSC chain. when that block is mined or staked, the currency will either start, and automatically send all of the participants their currency, or if the minimum targets are not met, all participation will be refunded in the original currency. These things happen automatically as part of the mining and staking process. There is a very small transfer fee that is taken for miners and stakers from transactions, even in the case of refunds.

Once a token or blockchain is created, you can send it on the chain it was created on, and you can also use it as one of the reserves in a multi-reserve currency blockchain. All blockchains get a corresponding token on the creating chain as well.

Tokens can be fully controlled by the blockchain and starting conditions, in which case the launch conditions determine the entire supply. They can also be controlled by the ID behind the token. In that case, the ID behind the token has the ability to mint new tokens. This can be used in the case of a centralized token that represents stable, centrally controlled reserves or assets. Tokens can also be used for many other things, like tickets, weighted voting, games, etc. The type of token and whether it is centralized or not is specified at time of creation and cannot be changed. We are expecting to eventually make it easy to move from a token to a blockchain, but that will not be in the first PBaaS release.
All PBaaS chains will be able to create an unlimited number of IDs and tokens.

A fully decentralized protocol with no company to take a cut along the way, any blockchain costs to launch a PBaaS project on Verus are paid directly to miners and stakers for verification, notarization, and initial conversion of Verus to the PBaaS reserve currency. Any range of the contributions to a reserve blockchain launch, from 0–100% of proceeds, can be transparently routed to the reserves of the fractional reserve currency, with the remainder being distributed, also transparently, as determined by those who launch the chain.
It’s important to understand that we are not building these technologies to just talk about them or claim that we did something. We strongly believe that the world needs Verus PBaaS and fractional reserve currencies. Some of us are helping exciting new projects work on use cases in addition to those described in the Verus vision paper, and we fully expect these projects to leverage PBaaS reserve technologies.

In one very powerful sense, the Verus reserve ecosystem will have no need for and no overhead imposed by money changers, a virtue that is going to be more and more important as it grows.

Verus And The Fight Against COVID-19

Earlier this week Mike Toutonghi, Microsoft’s former VP for the eHome division and Chief Architect of .Net, participated in a live town hall meeting held by the Asian Pacific American Task Force.

The Task Force is building a technological solution for gathering and storing data related to COVID-19 infections in a privacy-preserving manner. The solution involves storing attestations on the Verus chain in such a way that a user can determine when, to whom, and how much of the data they share.

I realize there's a lot of information here and I hope you take the time to really go through this!

I personally wish I had a chance to be on the ground level of Bitcoin in its early days. I have been in the space for quite a while and this is the first time I really feel like something really revolutionary is just upon us!

What does everybody think?

Are you ready for Mass Adoption?
