BCGS #2 — “Block Collider Demographics” (11/25/18)

Hello,

Block Collider remains laser-focused on delivering the most complete and functionally sound multichain in existence. Market speculation in either direction has no impact on the roadmap or its ultimate technology protocol. This email is #2 in the Block Collider Global State series. Each email is broken into three sections: Performance Metrics, Next, and The 6th Blockchain.

Performance Metrics

While near future updates will focus on performance metrics leading up to 1.8 million blocks mined, this update highlights performance metrics from our web visitors to www.blockcollider.org. Based on internet user demographics, the average visitor to www.blockcollider.org is 5% more likely to have a college degree. While obviously interesting, this number as an indicator of academic interest becomes more clear when you compare with Zilliqa (3%), ICON (-10%), or Mainframe (-18%). Continuing the theme of education, the average www.blockcollider.org visitor is 40% more likely than the average internet user to hold one or more advanced degrees. To put this in perspective, those numbers align more with sites like CERN.ch (41%) and FNAL.gov (39%) than ICON.foundation (-2%) or mainframe.com (0%). These metrics are pulled from public data provided by Alexa.com’s web panel of over 500M users worldwide.

We are humbled by the interest in Block Collider from the academic community.

Next

• Release of Borderless, (prev. MADEX) Block Collider’s flagship decentralized exchange which launches first with Emblem Lease <> Emblem pair. Borderless is entirely P2P with no centralized order-book, validators, or relays.
• After Target: At block 1.8 million Block Collider miners worldwide will begin listening for the Automated Rover Control Block (ARC Block) which will include the summed NRG and EMBLEM balances of the previous blocks and act. Clients will need to upgrade to 0.8.5
• Evangelists “Spectrum” Demo and Naming Announcement

The 6th Blockchain

It’s almost certainly not DogeCoin. Wow. Much surprise.

P.S. If you are a great engineer or communicator we are hiring. BCGS updates will never be a company diary or other form of dry content commonly associated with newsletters — it is mission critical updates only.
