4 Companies Revolutionizing Industries Alongside Blockchain...
This is the commencement of a iii article serial virtually the companies featured at Blockchain Expo 2017 this past times calendar week inwards Silicon Valley!
Today, we're looking at four companies that are bringing powerful blockchain based solutions to existing industries.
doGood: Crowd-sourcing.
What stands out virtually doGood is they've taken crowd sourcing too crowd funding to novel levels. It goes good beyond what y'all mightiness intend when y'all initially take away heed those terms, but this isn't even thence roughly other "Go Fund Me" clone.
That's because it aims to solve problems beyond people begging for money online. From smaller, personal ones, to businesses seeking solutions to hurtles on major projects.
In a nutshell, it industrial plant similar this: The problem/challenge is shared inwards their online platform. Others post feasible solutions too the community weighs inwards on the road to have got via a points based system. H5N1 construction that could create anything from aid someone create upward one's heed the adjacent machine to purchase - to corporations letting shareholders weigh in. They tin fifty-fifty plough over to a greater extent than voting ability based on how many shares the private owns.
We spoke to the founder too CEO Adam Harriss, who previously worked inwards corporate strategy for HP, on his inspiration for the projection "I thought, inwards gild to solve these huge problems, what create nosotros genuinely demand to provide existent solutions? Thinking dorsum though my sense - y'all have got to define the work too define too reach the potential solutions. Once you've done that y'all tin genuinely interruption downwardly a large work similar climate change, into smaller too smaller pieces - until y'all acquire to something that is addressable".
But their boldest vision may endure their escrow service which ties inwards to all of this. Where an ICO's funding tin endure held inwards escrow, too released to the ICO to purpose alone later promises are completed, too the every bit community votes they have the adjacent circular of funding. Harriss believes legitimate ICO's wouldn't fearfulness this transparency maxim investors are quest to a greater extent than oft "Why would I invest inwards this dark box?"

The demand for pinpoint accurate basis mapping is already growing at a rapid pace, every bit the augmented reality manufacture explodes too relies on this information.
While privately owned corporations are working on gathering similar data, they don't part it without a price. Using blockchain to maintain information constantly updated MAPS aims to endure the decentralized solution, where anyone tin contribute, or access the data.

Neuromation: Deep learning / AI.
What commencement caught my oculus virtually Neuromation was their bold suggestion to cryptocurrency miners: y'all may brand to a greater extent than money giving your processing ability to our project, than y'all create mining coins.
We spoke to Yuri Kundin, an adviser on the projection says that's the destination long term but points out they are commencement to the market, maxim "currently people are paying Google for $4 an hr for four GPUs, that's our key bespeak for democratizing access to AI, nosotros could offering this processing ability for $1 or fifty-fifty 50 cents".
Neutomation too has a bold retail automation projection - putting this deep learning ability to use. Shelf projection administration could streamline how large retailers operate, amongst AI monitoring production provide on the flooring "the organization recognizes all the products on the shelf's, too how many our left, nosotros tin ship a signal dorsum to the wearhouse letting them know to restock" says Kundin.

I have got even thence to run into anyone amongst their wallet address memorized, they telephone phone it AliasID - where y'all tin register whatever give-and-take or phrase simply similar a domain name, too then cryptocurrencies tin endure sent there.
We spoke to Matthew C James, founder too chairman of TRXNHUB, he said "currently populace keys on blockchain are xl characters inwards length too a random string of letters too numbers" he continued "with AliasID nosotros tin associate an email address, telephone number, or elevate to a populace key".
They too have got transaction protection for peer to peer sales, called 'Smart Contracts AI' where smart contracts necktie into an escrow service "when UPS or someone delivers an order, it updates the smart contract too releases the funds" James said. Providing buyer/seller protection for online goods sales made inwards cryptocurrencies.
