Take a look at his twitter feed, his alias is on here somewhere though you may have to scroll back somewhat...

Of course, email sent this morning. I did call a few weeks back and left a voice mail, unfortunately nothing in return. One can only hope, his time is best spent on other matters, only time will tell.

many thanks

Andy, Would you share the email address with me please? Best J

And finally - �2017 will be a pivotal year for blockchain tech. Many of the startups in the space will either begin generating revenue � via providing products the market demands/values � or vaporize due to running out of cash. In other words, 2017 should be the year where there is more implementation of products utilizing blockchain tech, and less talk about blockchain tech being the magical pixie dust that can just be sprinkled atop everything. Of course, from a customers viewpoint, this will not be obvious as blockchain tech should dominantly be invisible � even as its features and functionality improve peoples�/business� lives. I personally am familiar with a number of large-scale blockchain tech use cases that are launching soon/2017. This implementation stage, which 2017 should represent, is a crucial step in the larger adoption of blockchain tech, as it will allow skeptics to see the functionality, rather than just hear of its promise.� George Howard, Associate Professor Brown University, Berklee College of Music and Founder of George Howard Strategic

The Blockchain a New Web 3.0? The blockchain gives internet users the ability to create value and authenticates digital information. What will new business applications result? Smart contracts Distributed ledgers enable the coding of simple contracts that will execute when specified conditions are met. Ethereum is an open source blockchain project that was built specifically to realize this possibility. Still, in its early stages, Ethereum has the potential to leverage the usefulness of blockchains on a truly world-changing scale. At the technology�s current level of development, smart contracts can be programmed to perform simple functions. For instance, a derivative could be paid out when a financial instrument meets certain benchmark, with the use of blockchain technology and Bitcoin enabling the payout to be automated. The sharing economy With companies like Uber and AirBnB flourishing, the sharing economy is already a proven success. Currently, however, users who want to hail a ride-sharing service have to rely on an intermediary like Uber. By enabling peer-to-peer payments, the blockchain opens the door to direct interaction between parties � a truly decentralized sharing economy results. An early example, OpenBazaar uses the blockchain to create a peer-to-peer eBay. Download the app onto your computing device, and you can transact with OpenBazzar vendors without paying transaction fees. The �no rules� ethos of the protocol means that personal reputation will be even more important to business interactions than it currently is on eBay.

A second-level network With blockchain technology, the web gains a new layer of functionality. Already, users can transact directly with one another � Bitcoin transactions in 2016 averaged over $200,000 US per day. With the added security brought by the blockchain new internet business are on track to unbundle the traditional institutions of finance. Goldman Sachs believes that blockchain technology holds great potential especially to optimize clearing and settlements, and could represent global savings of up to $6bn per year.

The Blockchain & Enhanced security By storing data across its network, the blockchain eliminates the risks that come with data being held centrally. Its network lacks centralized points of vulnerability that computer hackers can exploit. Today�s internet has security problems that are familiar to everyone. We all rely on the �username/password� system to protect our identity and assets online. Blockchain security methods use encryption technology. The basis for this are the so-called public and private �keys�. A �public key� (a long, randomly-generated string of numbers) is a users� address on the blockchain. Bitcoins sent across the network gets recorded as belonging to that address. The �private key� is like a password that gives its owner access to their Bitcoin or other digital assets. Store your data on the blockchain and it is incorruptible. This is true, although protecting your digital assets will also require safeguarding of your private key by printing it out, creating what�s referred to as a paper wallet.

Who will use the blockchain? As web infrastructure, you don�t need to know about the blockchain for it to be useful in your life. Currently, finance offers the strongest use cases for the technology. International remittances, for instance. The World Bank estimates that over $430 billion US in money transfers were sent in 2015. And at the moment there is a high demand for blockchain developers. The blockchain potentially cuts out the middleman for these types of transactions. Personal computing became accessible to the general public with the invention of the Graphical User Interface (GUI), which took the form of a �desktop�. Similarly, the most common GUI devised for the blockchain are the so-called �wallet� applications, which people use to buy things with Bitcoin, and store it along with other cryptocurrencies. Transactions online are closely connected to the processes of identity verification. It is easy to imagine that wallet apps will transform in the coming years to include other types of identity management.

The idea of decentralization By design, the blockchain is a decentralized technology. Anything that happens on it is a function of the network as a whole. Some important implications stem from this. By creating a new way to verify transactions aspects of traditional commerce could become unnecessary. Stock market trades become almost simultaneous on the blockchain, for instance � or it could make types of record keeping, like a land registry, fully public. And decentralization is already a reality. A global network of computers uses blockchain technology to jointly manage the database that records Bitcoin transactions. That is, Bitcoin is managed by its network, and not any one central authority. Decentralization means the network operates on a user-to-user (or peer-to-peer) basis. The forms of mass collaboration this makes possible are just beginning to be investigated.

A network of nodes A network of so-called computing �nodes� make up the blockchain. Together they create a powerful second-level network, a wholly different vision for how the internet can function. Every node is an �administrator� of the blockchain, and joins the network voluntarily (in this sense, the network is decentralized). However, each one has an incentive for participating in the network: the chance of winning Bitcoins. Nodes are said to be �mining� Bitcoin, but the term is something of a misnomer. In fact, each one is competing to win Bitcoins by solving computational puzzles. Bitcoin was the raison d�etre of the blockchain as it was originally conceived. It�s now recognized to be only the first of many potential applications of the technology. There are an estimated 700 Bitcoin-like cryptocurrencies (exchangeable value tokens) already available. As well, a range of other potential adaptations of the original blockchain concept are currently active, or in development.

Transparent and incorruptible The blockchain network lives in a state of consensus, one that automatically checks in with itself every ten minutes. A kind of self-auditing ecosystem of a digital value, the network reconciles every transaction that happens in ten-minute intervals. Each group of these transactions is referred to as a �block�. Two important properties result from this: Transparency data is embedded within the network as a whole, by definition it is public. It cannot be corrupted altering any unit of information on the blockchain would mean using a huge amount of computing power to override the entire network. In theory, this could be possible. In practice, it�s unlikely to happen. Taking control of the system to capture Bitcoins, for instance, would also have the effect of destroying their value.

lockchain technology is like the internet in that it has a built-in robustness. By storing blocks of information that are identical across its network, the blockchain cannot: Be controlled by any single entity. Has no single point of failure. Bitcoin was invented in 2008. Since that time, the Bitcoin blockchain has operated without significant disruption. (To date, any of problems associated with Bitcoin have been due to hacking or mismanagement. In other words, these problems come from bad intention and human error, not flaws in the underlying concepts.) The internet itself has proven to be durable for almost 30 years. It�s a track record that bodes well for blockchain technology as it continues to be developed.

Morning Swing, Harvest? Apologies for jumping on the back of this.

Sby

Many thanks for the heads up.

Morning SS, You're sat on free shares having taken your original stake out, a better position than some I would say. You've obviously seen something in INFT you like or you wouldn't have invested. 6 months is a long time and yes GW can take all 6 months in my opinion, if what he delivers on is what we all wants. If he doesn't then I knew the risk as did all on here, you cannot at this stage and in my opinion nor can others say they are sceptical, if that was the case people should have sold before suspension. Best

Steady on Shakey, don�t let the good lady know that she�ll be taking half your profits.

Advocates of the company hope you pull and absolute cracker out of your A😀😀e. If you pull this out of the bag, I and many others I�m sure would like to take you for a 🍺 beer
