dAO(demonopolied Autonomous Organization),
The Cooperativism of the Sharing Economy.
DAO(Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is ideal to let people exchange the value without intermediators. However, it is very difficult to realize DAO in real world due to the prematurity of blockchain technology. And the pain is not the centralized intermediator but the monopoly of the value and power by the intermediator in unfair way. So, dAO(demonopolied) Autonomous Organization might be a realistic way to solve the outstanding pains caused by the monopoly platform at current situation of blockchain technology.
Wehome, a cooperative home sharing is the typical example of the community based on dAO.

Blockchain technology has emerged as a real game-changer. Across all continents, Asia is likely to see the highest economic benefits of blockchain technology. In terms of particular countries, blockchain technology could have the maximum inherent net profit in China ($ 440 billion) and the United States ($ 407 billion). Five other countries (Germany, Japan, UK, India, and France) are also expected to have net profits above $ 50 billion. At the sectoral level, the leading beneficiaries appear to be the public administration, education and health sectors. These sectors are looking forward to benefiting a sum of around $ 574 billion by 2030.

For more than 20 years the Internet was narrowed down to the usage
of a few tech-savvy that knew how to navigate it. It’s only in 1993-94
that it became mainstream when Marc Andreessen created
the Mosaic browser while studying at the National Center for
Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and brought the Internet to the
general public allowing them to navigate the web comfortably with a
positive user-friendly experience. And, for the first time user could
establish an active presence over the internet by loading their own
documents, photos, sounds, video clips, and hypertext “links” to
other documents. And just like that, navigation of the internet started
to have a meaning and it made sense to a layman.
In the blockchain world, Bitcoin (2008) was the first application of the
technology, the most disruptive, and its first wave of users, just like in
the first internet era, was also more on the technical savvy
side. Despite significant immunization of capital into the blockchain
space, we have not had yet an incredible app or project that could
compare to Mosaic or Netscape.

How is the journalism industry impacted by blockchain Blockchain Council
The entire business has been revolutionised by Blockchain. A technology that once began as the underlying Bitcoin trading platform has now become a core technology that has changed the way companies function. The media and journalism field is no different from the various sectors that have felt the influence of Blockchain. The age-old way of working has become ossified, and there is now a need for technology that can speed up the pace of activity. Many media organisations are currently searching for experts from Blockchain who can help to incorporate and render Blockchain more effective with current business operations.
This study explains all the advantages and disadvantages of Blockchain and the Distributed Ledger technologies, outlines the proven use cases and provides business insights on what can be achieved in future. You will also find an explanation of the core problems in Finance, Logistics, Insurance, Supply Chain and other industries that are being solved with Blockchain now.
One of the most hyped IT buzzwords to have emerged in the last couple of years. Blockchain has found its way into major media headlines on a near-daily basis, but a year and a half ago, it was a word used by a relatively small number of people to describe the peer-to-peer distributed ledger technology.
Musings from: The Real Business of BlockchainJames Cracknell
Blockchain is a technology I knew very littel about, that is until I committed, in this lockdown period, to educate myself in it. As a technology it could be seen as revolutionary but combined with a business model, a decentralised mindset and an open innovation culture, it becomes a powerful tool for a new way of doing business. I have worked with cooperative models, social enterprises and charities, this technology sits comfortably in any of them. B-Corps are not the only beneficiaries to this - all businesses in the future will have to shift from the centralised models to a deentralised format - especially in a world so dependent upon the digital platforms of the day.
There’s an exciting new cast of innovators and founders in the blockchain ecosystem. And these emerging disruptors are approaching blockchain differently than legacy organizations.
This Deloitte report explores the biggest trends enabling the future of blockchain and how new industry players are using the technology to push boundaries.
Blockchain is one such technology which is already disrupting numerous industries as it enables users across the globe to transact in a secure and transparent environment in a decentralized setup without the need for a middleman. Some of the industries which have embraced blockchain technology are insurance, car sales, voting, real estate, sports management, manufacturing, transportation, e-commerce, healthcare, etc.
Blockchain Introduction - Canada Nov 2017.pptxAntony Welfare
Back in 2017 I joined the world of #Blockchain and presented my first ever Blockchain presentation on 14th November 2017 at a Tech meetup in Penticton, BC (Canada)
A few key highlights:
* The fundamentals of Blockchain technology have not changed (Trust, Transparency, Security, Quality/Certainty, Reduced costs)
* We were talking about Web 3.0 back in 2017 😉
* People still miss define Blockchain
* Janet Yellen and Christine Lagarde were commenting on Blockchain back in 2017
* Checkout the Dapps section – I was ahead of my time there!
* And the last three slides on the Market cap and increases – I was excited to tell people the market cap was $200bn, BTC was $8,000 and ETH was nearly $400 ……… Ahhh the good old days 😉
And finally – my “leaders comment” back in 2017 still stands “Blockchain is the next disruptive technology to transform the lives of our customers and our business operations”
What a journey so far…and guess what…its only just begun 👍👍👍

Blockchain- The Quiet Disruptor - A Guide and a primer to launch Blockchain &...JP Batra
This is a guide and a primer to help you get ready to bring Blockchain technology solutions to your company. Titled "Blockchain - The Quiet Disruptor!" as presented at Global Blockchain Summit in Westminster, Colorado, this is a guide first develops a foundation through a high level understanding of:
* Inefficiencies we are used to, and how Blockchain removes them or reduces their impact
* Main strengths of Blockchain technology
* Public vs. Private Blockchain at a high level
* Business level view of how the technology works, or it's interworking
* Myths surrounding Blockchain, e.g., Blockchain vs Bitcoin, Blockchain vs. DLT as a summary table
* Various consortiums and alliances that developed platforms for use in their industries represented as a table
After foundational work, the presentation and the narratives tie all the foundational blocks together through a hypothetical Healthcare Insurance use case. It also describes the importance of technology selection, Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and Proof of Concept (POC) to test the applicability of Blockchain to a use case one may have developed.
Links have been added to supporting articles to get one prepared for developing their own use cases and help their company gain a competitive advantage or respond fast to competitor threats.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.

Engagement and Impact a growing agenda which will have increased
influence on government research grant schemes.
Now an industry for academic impact (bibliometrics) and a growing one for
outside academia
Engagement Indicators
Counts of patents granted and patent family
Count of patent–cited papers
Co-authorship of research publications
Co-funded research outputs
Proportion of total outputs available via open access
Ratio of ARC Linkage grants to ARC Discovery grants
Cash provided by research end-user partner on grants
5. SELF-PUBLISHING 1.0: DESKTOP
PUBLISHING
In the 1970s, desktop publishing revolutionized self-
publishing
Ability to create digital page layouts on screen
using texts and graphics
Newspapers and other media began using this in
early 1980s
1985 Apple LaserWriter printer – consumers could
do it at home
DTP made Print-On-Demand (POD) or publishing
single copies or small batches economically viable
IBM’s first PC debuted on 12 August 1981
https://observer.com/2015/08/ibms-first-personal-computer-was-released-34-years-ago-
today/
6. SELF-PUBLISHING 2.0: EBOOKS
1990 – ebooks created in .txt, .mobi,
.doc formats
1998 – first digital bookstores appeared
online
2004 – Sony releases first ebook reader
2007 – Amazon releases first Kindle
ereader
7. SELF-PUBLISHING 2.0: EBOOKS
BENEFITS of EBOOKS
Authors now able to create their own digital files
Authors able to remove agents, publishers, wholesalers from
the chain
Authors bring their readers closer to them, with only online
distributor in between
8. CHALLENGESTO AUTHORS NOW
Content is still mediated by large corporations eg. Amazon
Everyone else gets paid first before the author sees a dollar
Vast majority of ‘indie’ authors still earn income from Amazon
Piracy is rampant
Publishing contracts are complex and often unintelligible
Many authors crave attention more than money – undervalue
their product
Many authors resist being in business
Many authors sign contracts without reading them
9. CHALLENGESTO
AUTHORS NOW
Getting the book published
Distribution
Being discovered by readers
Getting customers
Dealing with competition
Low earnings
Unsold books
The long process from
publication to launch

10. SELF-PUBLISHING 3.0: DIRECT SALES
Two key areas of growth for self-publishing and authors
1. Diversifying income streams
2. Building direct patronage via
social media
website
blogs
and other elements of an author platform
How do we incorporate blockchain into this?
11. WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?
Blockchain is a continuously growing list of digital
records, called blocks.
These blocks are linked to each other and secured
by collaboration, date stamping and transparency.
We can think of blockchain as a public ledger
system
Each time a block is added to the ledger, anyone
with access will receive a copy of the updated
blockchain, and all the transactions that have taken
place
12. WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?
The blockchain is distributed across an
encrypted computer network
Each transaction must be verified by all
participants in the network
All purchases, divisions, exchanges able
to be reconstructed at any time
13. WHY IS BLOCKCHAIN USEFUL?
Decentralization
It is a simple way of storing information is a distributed
manner
There is no single central server or distributor
responsible
14. IMPORTANCE OF BLOCKCHAIN
Digital
Any information that can be digitized can be put on the blockchain and referenced through a ledger entry
Distributed
Each participant receives an identical copy
all participants can verify the information independently
Consensus-Based
There is no central authority
All participants on the network collectively check and approve transactions
Chronological and PermanentlyTime-Stamped
All blocks are timed and dated and point back to blocks before
15. HOW IS IT USEFUL FOR PUBLISHING?
Blockchain technologies have the potential to transform
traditional value chains and the relationship between creators,
publishers, distributors, and consumers
It can maximize the value of the author’s intellectual
property and moral and monetary rights
It can also deliver an author-centred financial model for the first
time in publishing history
16. BLOCKCHAIN CAN CHANGE SEVERAL
ASPECTS OF PUBLISHING
1. Creates new value
2. Licensing and rights management
3. Micropayments
17. BLOCKCHAIN CHANGES PUBLISHING
1. value
Copyright tracking and subsequent
royalty or commission payments
easier and more accurate
18. BLOCKCHAIN CHANGES PUBLISHING
2. Licensing and rights management
•Clear and transparent licensing framework with smart
contracts
•Track the distribution of content and automatically
accumulate credit
•Automatically distribute payment to respective rights
holders/service providers
•E.g. including original authors, fan fiction, co-creation,
anthologies
19. BLOCKCHAIN CHANGES PUBLISHING
3. Micropayments
Can be collected in digital currency
and added to an author’s wallet
as simple as downloading a song
from iTunes
no threshold to purchase or
payment
20. BLOCKCHAIN CAN…
crowdfund/greenlight a book project through
cryptocurrency systems
track audience engagement with a particular book or
author through their digital interactions and purchases
securely verify texts and their authenticity
e.g. First editions, reprints, limited editions, previously
unpublished drafts, special illustrations, etc
21. EXPANDING SELF-PUBLISHING 3.0
Blockchain can expand on digital self-publishing 3.0 in
five areas:
1. Copyright
2. Smart Contracts
3. SmartWallets
4. Creative Credit and Acknowledgement
5. Privacy
22. 1. BLOCKCHAIN AND COPYRIGHT
Plagiarism becomes much more difficult
if files are logged on the blockchain
Ownership becomes indisputable
blockchain makes copyright tracking, and
subsequent royalty or commission
payments, easier and more accurate
E.g. You can’t claim 20% royalties because
the blockchain lists says you are owed 15%
23. 2. BLOCKCHAIN AND SMART CONTRACTS
Automated smart digital contracts simultaneously represent
ownership of an intellectual property and the conditions set
by its owner
•Automatic rules, checked conditions
•Minimal human involvement and cost
•Replace interests parties with disinterested network of
machines
•This means that the right person ‘pays’ the right amount
•And the right person ‘is paid’ automatically
24. 3. SMARTWALLETS ANDTHE PAYMENT CHAIN
Blockchain and cryptocurrency make it easy
for readers to make small payments
This allows authors to be paid directly for
books, single articles, podcast etc.
Payments can be split at the point of
transaction
All money can be transacted through author
smart wallet
Wholesalers, retailers, publishers paid at point
of transaction
Authors are essentially selling a key to their
work
25. 4. CREATIVE CREDIT AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Digital wallet can serve as a hub for all the people
involved in the process
The smart contract can split and dispense payment to
the right people during the transaction
Blockchain can securely verify authorship for all inputs
into the publishing process
not just authors, but illustrators, editors, co-creators,
etc
26. 5. BLOCKCHAIN AND PRIVACY
Anonymity and psydeudonymity
of authors are easily managed –
without creating a payment
challenge
27. HOW DO AUTHORS BENEFIT FROM
MICROPAYMENTS?
Widened consumer base: cryptocurrencies don’t have
geographical boundaries
Reach markets where they couldn’t through traditional
methods
No intermediary fees
Lower transaction fees vs credit card processing
Smart contracts track ownership rights
Payments from consumers can be immediately transferred
to associated rights holders in accurate percentages
28. ENGAGEMENT ANDTHIS PROJECT
Tiny Owl approached QUT to prototype
blockchain model to improve and
experiment with business models
Aim was to create revenue flows using
smart contracts for different online
editions of a book
