Decentralised Social Media

Image
  1. The main issue we can see on centralized social media apart from censorship is they are selling our data.  Then we will get more advertisement and control.  2. One of the main advantages of Web3 in contrast to Web2 is to provide the ownership of the data to the person who generates or creates that.   https://joinmastodon.org/ https://www.minds.com/ https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/minds/ https://steem.com/ https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem/ https://d.tube/ https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dtube-coin/ https://audius.co/ https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/audius/ https://subsocial.network/#features https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/subsocial/ https://www.deso.com/ https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/deso/ https://diamondapp.com/ https://telegram.org/ https://ton.org/ https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/toncoin/ https://basicattentiontoken.org/ https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/basic-attention-token/ https://mask.io/ https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mas

Introduction to IPFS

Image
  What is IPFS and how different from location-based addressing (HTTP)? Introduction to IPFS and how that works: In this video, he explains that IPFS is decentralized but not Blockchain. Therefore, there is no guarantee of data availability. As he explains Filecoin is based on IPFS to incentivize nodes to keep running the network for data availability. Mainly IPFS provides decentralized data storage and Filecoin provides data persistence.

Linux rehearsal

Image
  Welcome to this new post. If you are new to this blog please have a look at this  quick post  to understand the logic behind this weblog. Because of the new Blockchain-based project, I have to remember my Linux skills. Therefore, I start to rehearse about that and these are some videos and courses that I'm practicing and re-learning Linux. I installed Linux on one of our Cloud lab servers and working remotely with that. This is a course offered by edX and Linux foundation  https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-linux it is a complete course. If you are new to Linux you can find useful material. Although, it is not as hands-on as you expect.  There are many theories as well included. [To be completed!] [I'm constantly updating data of this page]

What is Decentralised Identity and how to study that?

Image
  Welcome to this new post. If you are new to this blog please have a look at this quick post to understand the logic behind this weblog. If you know the logic behind this weblog today I studied the Decentralised Identity (DI) based on the Blockchain.  Then let's have a look: The best explenationary video about Decentralised Identity is this video: Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) allow entities to transact seamlessly within decentralized ecosystems by serving as traceable, tamper-evident, and unique sources of verifiable data about the entities. Think of a DID as a globally unique identifier. Rather than having to manage several distinct forms of identification, entities can enjoy secure, hassle-free transactions with any number of ecosystem participants while having control over their own data.  DID adoption will be essential to unlocking decentralized applications for connected vehicles and IoT commerce.  Microsoft in particular with their ION project is leading the charge here

How this blog works?

Image
Welcome to this blog. I'm a researcher with the Free University of Bolzano - Bozen. My main topics of interest are Cloud and Edge computing, Distributed computing,  Decentralised Ledger Technology (DLT), Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency.  During the day I have to study different projects and topics across the web and mostly my best university in the world which is Youtube. As you know when you start to read about a new topic you will find many materials and many of them could be useless or unavailable. Therefore, in this blog, I decided to insert these documents which may come in the form of a link as a Text, Video, Clips, etc. In this way, I can have an archive of what I did and from which sources I learned that topic. Also, you can see which content is more useful for a lazy learner guy like me.  You can find me on Youtube here                                    Twitter here                            Google Scholar here and a completed list of my contact here .

Harmony Fundamental Report

Image
Summary Harmony is a blockchain platform that makes it easier to create and use decentralized apps (DApps). The network focuses on random state sharding, which allows for the creation of blocks in seconds, with the goal of revolutionizing the way decentralized apps work. Opportunity The idea of blockchain has grown around the world since the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2008. As Bitcoin got popular, the performance bottleneck of its restricted throughput of ~7 Transactions Per Second (TPS) became apparent, and the cost of using it as a payment system became prohibitively high. Ethereum launched a novel blockchain architecture that allowed developers to implement a variety of blockchain applications using "smart contracts" in 2014. Nevertheless, Ethereum could not solve the scalability issue and, with just ~15 TPS, was unable to handle high-throughput applications like DEcentralized Exchanges (DEX) or gaming. Many blockchain projects offered numerous ways to boost
