AOL, Quark Chain, Snglladies

One of upcoming ICO-s is QuarkChain, Snglladies. This is one of the new blockchains on the block” that aims to create a highly scalable and secure blockchain that can handle up to one million transactions per second using a two-layered blockchain system.

They are seeking to bring crypto to wider mainstream audience and will support smart contracts with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This means developers will be able to easily port and deploy dApps built on Ethereum onto QuarkChain, Snglladies. Once their mainnet is live which could make QuarkChain, Snglladies a serious contender right out the gate.


Their Testnet achieved 2,000 transactions per second (TPS) and their current goal is 10,000 TPS. While other projects are aiming for similar scaling, QuarkChain's, Snglladies technology may become viable before some competitors - a focus which may have been at the expense of developing a community and partnerships to actually use it. Following picture is from their whitepaper prospect.

The World of Mainframe!



We all became more thoughtful about what data we give, where we give it, With data
breaches and privacy violations in the headlines every day, not to mention governments expressing open malice against vulnerable citizens, security became a major issue for the internet,  but the Mainframe provides solution.

If you enter into the world of Mainframe,  you'll find that  the Mainframe is an decentralized communications network resistant to censorship, surveillance and disruption.Your content can't be opened, your content can't be followed, the network can't die, the network can't be shut down, the network works everywhere.

All communication on the Mainframe protocol will utilize the most reliable standards in end-to end encryption. NO outside party, government, corporate or hacker, will have access to your messages or media. Identifying or monitoring even the existence of communication between parties is impossible.

Token economy incentivizes each node to provide bandwidth for packet relay and storage, data services, and file storage. Each node’s creditworthiness is constantly tracked. The Mainframe protocol will be available to any network, or blockchain that requires truly private communication services. SDKs  and other tools for interoperability will be deployed based on community needs.
All data services that your Mainframe applications rely on are distributed in redundant fragments throughout the network. This eliminates the need to rely on or manage your own infrastructure.
No more internet surveillance, censorship or breached accounts, with help of Mainframe.


May the force be with us, let's take our FREEDOM back !!!

Unveiling Umbral

Threshold proxy re-encryption for scalable end-to-end encrypted data sharing

We’re excited to announce the fulfillment of one of our major milestones: the definition and implementation of Umbral, a threshold proxy re-encryption scheme that powers the NuCypher KMS network.
Umbral allows secure delegation of decryption rights, enabling private data sharing between arbitrary numbers of participants in public consensus networks. This is achieved without revealing data encryption keys to intermediary entities. Umbral’s defining feature is arguably its split-key mechanism, whereby the re-encryption process (i.e. the cryptographic process through which data is securely shared) is distributed through a set of nodes rather than just one node, as it would be in a traditional proxy re-encryption scheme. To proceed, Umbral requires a quorum — a minimum number of nodes to complete the re-encryption, In this way, the trust is split between them in a manner similar to Shamir’s Secret Sharing — except with re-encryption key shares, rather than private key shares. The name “Umbral” comes from the Spanish word for “threshold”, emphasizing the split-key characteristic of the scheme, given its core role in the decentralized architecture of NuCypher KMS.
Our cryptosystem comes also with its first reference implementation in Python, pyUmbral


Built with Cryptography.io and OpenSSL, pyUmbral is a ready-to-use, open-source proxy re-encryption toolkit.

Find Public Google Docs

Google Docs and Google Drive don't offer the option to find {public files}, but you can do that using Google search. Now that the Google Docs {robots.txt} file allows search engines to index most of the public files, you should be able to find them, assuming that there are some links that point to them.

Search engines only index the files that are "public on the Web". By default, files are private, but you can {change the visibility} from the "Share" box.

Here are some useful queries that let you find public Google Drive/Docs files (you can append some keywords to the queries):

* site:docs.google.com/document/d - find text documents

* site:docs.google.com/presentation/d - find presentations

* site:docs.google.com/drawings/d - find drawings

* site:docs.google.com/file/d - find files: images, videos, PDF files, Microsoft Office documents and more (you should click "repeat the search with the omitted results included" since there are many files with similar titles)

* site:docs.google.com/folder/d - find folders (collections of files and other folders)

* site:docs.google.com/open - find other documents, folders and files (the links redirect to other URLs)

Public spreadsheets and forms can't be indexed by search engines.

JitBit Macro Recorder



If you want to be efficient and get things done rapidly, you must give up doing everything yourself. Certain tasks can be automated; they can be performed automatically for you and thus make you more efficient. And this is where macros and the powerful Jitbit-developed automation tool Macro Recorder comes in. You can use the application to create macros, to record mouse and keyboard actions, to convert macros to executables, and more. 


Macro Recorder is the best macro program for Windows. Not just a keyboard and mouse recorder but a powerful automation tool that converts macros to EXE files and more. All recorded keystrokes and mouse activity can be saved to disk as a macro (script) for later use, bound to a hotkey, extended with custom commands or even compiled to an EXE file (a standalone Windows application). This macro recording program will save you a lot of time on repetitive tasks. You can use the Macro Recorder to automate ANY activity in ANY windows application, record on-screen tutorials.

There are two ways of creating macros with this Jitbit-developed application. One would be to use the buttons from the left hand side to insert mouse and keyboard commands. You can set it up so that Macro Recorder will automatically open a webpage, launch a file or program, start typing into a text file, and more. The other would be to use the Record function to record a macro. Start the recording, perform the action you would like Macro Recorder to perform automatically, stop the recording – the actions will be listed on the application’s interface so you can view or edit them.

Once you’re done creating a macro, you can compile it as an executable. Run the executable and the actions included in the macro will be performed automatically. And speaking about performing tasks automatically, you can schedule macros to be run at the time you specify. It should also be mentioned that you can bind macros to hotkeys – press a hotkey and the macro will be run


Benefits:
– Extremely simple. Macro Recorder features an easy and straightforward user interface. Forget about hours wasted on reading manuals. Start using Macro Recorder in seconds. Just click "Record" with your mouse and perform some activity.
– Flexible. Edit your macros with the built-in full-featured Visual Macro Maker, enjoy the Macro Recorder's full windows-shell integration and scheduling
– Automation software. Insert custom commands and statements into your macros, like: "launch website", "open file", "wait for window", "goto", "shutdown" and many more. Add logic to your macros using the "IF - THEN" statement, "REPEAT X TIMES" statement.
– C# scripting language - you can insert code snippets in C#
– EXE-compiler. Convert your macro to an EXE-file which runs on any windows-compatible computer. To save space and improve performance the resulting EXE file is packed and compressed using the advanced optimization techniques.
– Accessible. Assign your mouse & keyboard macros to hotkeys and run it from any application
– Adjustable. Variable playback speed, macro recording filters, loop macro playback, "stealth-mode" macro recording and more.
– Debug your macros: insert breakpoints, play partially or loop your playback.
– Human-readable macro file format, plain text script easy for editing in external editors
– SMART-Rec mouse recorder technology that optionally records your mouse in relative coordinates
