Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Bitcoin pumps off the lows and Interbit decides to finally post something on their Twitter account. First time since June 2018. hmmmm
Just an article link, but nice to see even the faintest sign of life:

Content goes way over my head though!
On a positive note, the price of bitcoin spiked 18% in the last couple of hours. If market sentiment returns to the crypto/blockchain space then it's likely to benefit BLOC with or without news.
Two more positions available...

Anyone interested in working with us in the distributed ledger/blockchain space? Job details here: https://chorum.io/jobs.html - we're looking for tech leads, product leads and an HR director at the mo :-)

Sounds promising:
"As HR Director, you will be at the heart of Chorum leading its newly created HR function and services as its grows rapidly over the next few months and years."
Personally, I‘ll be looking to add upon re-listing. This deal is potentially one of the most exciting prospects I’ve come across in 20+ years of investing. A global leader already attracting multi-industry partnerships and government funding. Happy to watch this unfold over the next few years and hopefully fund my retirement!

My duality will be especially important in the coming years as we expand further in to this realm of serverless edge computing, and eventually hardware industrial controllers - both areas where competing blockchains cannot currently go, as well modes of operation Cloud cannot support. We are using these two vehicles - BTL and Helix - to depart the flaming wreck of crypto and tokens, and cross the treacherous open water to a new category - the Megachain arena, where we hope to leverage our temporary technical superiority and our network of influential individuals to build businesses that make actual money, not just speculative tokens. This will show the value of Interbit. Then we hope to induce competitors to Helix to enter the market - this will show the value of Helix beyond just the value of its applications, as it is difficult to see when no other application builders are taking the plunge. With both companies highly valued - Interbit through adoption, and Helix through its application revenues and first mover status, my job will be complete.

Thank you for your kind words, but actually the brilliance belongs to the business puppeteers behind the scene who help me raise capital and develop pieces of business. People like Brian Hinchcliffe and Harry Dobson make it possible to have two companies running that are enormously privileged to be working with Xinova and Xinova's CEO, Edward Jung, who was the architect behind Windows NT and Microsoft Office. Advice, network access, and capital from this caliber of person is what gives us the greatest chance of success - not actually Interbit herself.
I will stoutly remain in BTL for the forseeable future. I am the CTO and Inventor of Interbit, and the deal I have with the board of BTL grants me steerage of the Interbit Roadmap. Helix can be thought of as the Application Department of BTL. I was basically granted a whole application department to exercise Interbit powered apps in the market. What I learn in Helix building applications I will use to tune Interbit to suit those needs better. As applications that I cannot imagine become apparent to Helix, Interbit will need to be innovated on in ways I cannot see yet to meet those new demands. This is the nature of my relationship to BTL and Helix - build the tool, use the tool, refine the tool, repeat. How we have defined what property belongs to BTL, is any machinery responsible for the creation of blocks is Interbit - all else is an Application and property of Helix.
Megachain scale distributed applications, made of millions of blockchains, have a resiliency and a nimbleness that appears unparalleled. It enables us to contemplate, for example, entire platforms such as the CitizenOS platform that operates entirely using the compute, storage, and bandwidth resources of the mesh networking distribution points - true serverless operation through edge computing. These platforms are lame, however, without applications that make them useful. This is where Helix comes in - an always ready, always eager application builder that does not question Interbits feasibility or utility, has it's own funding, and doesn't need documentation or tech support. The Interbit Champion we always wanted.
Happy to wait A_H, but to say I'm excited about this potential acquisition would be an understatement. Some aspects of the project border upon the realms of Star Wars fantasy: satellites, laser-beam encrypted information and the establishment of the Post Quantum Research Alliance... I suspect David Williams was installed as Chorum CEO only because Yoda was otherwise engaged!
I'm unaware of anything like this currently listed in the UK, and if a quantum-resistant business ecosystem does not capture the imagination of blockchain investors, then very little will.
May the force be with you all!
Biggest purchase for a while, and enough to bump the price. Still trading under cash value however, plenty of scope for upward realignment...
Good weekend all!
Limited downside for anyone buying in at these levels IMHO Potential for sizable gains if RTO specialist RS & JH secure pure-play blockchain or crypto exchange deal alluded to in Proactive interview. 2018 timescale, the clock is ticking...not much longer to decide if you're in or you're out when announcement comes.
Hi Daisan, my timing and rationale for investing VELA has followed a similar pattern to yours and I also believe that the next six months will be pivotal for digital currencies entering the mainstream. I think the BTC boom of late 2017 was largely private investor fueled speculation, however developments are taking place which will ensure the next wave of buying will be sustained and increasingly institutionally driven:
Bakkt, the new crypto exchange venture backed by Intercontinental Exchange, the parent of the NYSE will launch on 18 November and will offer 'physically' backed bitcoin futures.
Several crypto ETFs are currently under consideration by the SEC, the most promising of which is the VanEck & SolidX proposal which is anticipated to list on the CBOE. Growing sentiment suggests that this will be approved for trading by latest Feb 2019.
Hedgefunds like Blackrock with assets of $6Trillion beginning to explore crypto opportunities
Global corporate giants such as Starbucks warming to bitcoin acceptance
Any of the above could be the catalyst which breaks the 9 month downtrend in digital currencies. And although I think blockchain orientated companies like VELA will eventually decouple from the price of bitcoin, a near term crypto rebound will undoubtedly benefit a company with a diverse and early-stage technology focussed portfolio of investments.
Good luck to all - the dawn of the digital currency epoch is almost upon us.... :)
