AMA Recap: NULS Blockchain meet IOT Network Hub Africa

Without further ado, here is the recap

Host

๐Ÿ“Hello house. Good evening from Ghana.Thank you all for you time and patience. Please welcome Berzeck,NULS western director for tonight AMA.

Berzeck

๐Ÿ“Thank you for joining us today! hopefully we will have a good time learning more about NULS and Nerve

Host

๐Ÿ“Hello Berzeck, I will like to know more about yourself and your NULS, I am Josh

Berzeck

๐Ÿ“My name is MArio Blacutt, I am a software engineer with 20 years of experience, I created Nulstar which is the microservices infrastructure on which NULS and NErve are based. NULS Western Director and NErve Founder

Host

๐Ÿ“Awesome, itโ€™s a pleasure to meet you

Berzeck

๐Ÿ“NULS is a microservices-driven blockchain project that uses the Proof of Credit (PoC) consensus mechanism (dPoS plus credit rating) to mine via staking. The NULS modular design features NULSTAR, a microservices-based framework reportedly enabling enterprise-grade blockchain solutions for smart contracts, private chains, public chains, dApps and NRC-20 tokenization And. Nerve is a decentralized digital asset service network based on the NULS micro-services framework, which uses the NULS ChainBox to develop a blockchain cross-chain interaction protocol. The aim is to break the isolated blockchain value and establish a cross-chain asset exchange network to provide all the necessary underlying support for the Defi application ecosystem.

Host

๐Ÿ“This is great, does NULS run on any of the Blockchain platforms like ethereum?

Berzeck

๐Ÿ“NULS and NErve have their own main net, but Nerve has the ability to accept ETH and ERC20 tokens.whats more you can stake your ETH and ERC20 tokens and earn rewards in NVT. We are the only blockchain project with cross chain staking capabilities.

Host

๐Ÿ“Thanks @Berzeck1 this is a very interesting insight shared. Whatโ€™s the future of Blockchain Technology? Most Governments donโ€™t seem to be embracing it, due to the fact that they canโ€™t control it or manipulate it to their advantage

Berzeck

๐Ÿ“what blockchain needs is just governments tolerating it and thatโ€™s what is happening. Companies will use blockchain based solutions because it increases income and reduces costs for certain tasks and thatโ€™s all they care about. So we offer solutions to do just that , reduce costs for them

Host

๐Ÿ“What about regulation and infrastructures?

Berzeck

๐Ÿ“unlike what people would like, we know this process will be longer than expected, but we are prepared for it.

Host

Are there any applications or possibilities of integrating IoT with NULS?

Berzeck

๐Ÿ“our blockchain has 1000 TPS and 10 second block generation.. Nerve has 2000+ TPS and 2 second block generation so it is better suited to IoT

๐Ÿ”” Community Q&A ๐Ÿ””

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

What makes Nuls different from other projects and what are other the benefits Africa developers will get from Nuls incase they decide to use Nuls chain

Berzeck

๐Ÿ“NULS and Nerve are the only blockchain that are microservices based which give them the. ability to evolve and adapt faster than anybody else and also allowed us to build unique products and features. For example, we allow developers to write modules on any language they want. We have ChainFactory which is a product on which you select modules and insert a few parameters and the software assembles a customized blockchain for your needs and gives you a link to download the node, a web wallet and a explorer ready to use for your brand new blockchain. We also have SCO program on which NULS investors can stake on projects building on our platform and instead of receiving NULS they receive the projects tokens. in return the project receive the NULS, so itโ€™s a new funding mechanism on which people NEVER risk their investment and put pressure to projects to make progress fast or risk that the investors to unstake and choose another project to support. Aleph for example has been incubated by NULS this way and investors experienced unbelievable returns WITHOUT risking their money we have more features we could discuss in other sessions.

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

My question is how does NULS work? And where can we buy Nuls?

Berzeck

๐Ÿ“you can purchase nuls on. well regarded exchanges like binance or hobiโ€ฆ NErve is new so it is still on smaller exchanges like MXC, bitmart. we are about to release NDEX which is our own DEX solution. If you have ethereum. you can purchase NVT in Uniswap

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

When they talk about Nuls and say it is a decentralized app (dapp) platform, what does it mean?

๐Ÿ“Berzeck

it means that it has a virtual machine that can execute smart contracts. What this means is that the execution and computation of a program can be performed by a consensus node in the network. A dApp is an application that has at least one decentralized component, generally a smart contract that is executed in a decentralized way as explained above.

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

What are the plans Nuls has for the Africa community in general as they set to extend their activities here? Are they planning on having an office and getting on local exchanges here?

๐Ÿ“Berzeck

We have an ambassador program and in specific an african Ambassador was selected. So the plan is hiring people in each country (long term) to help expanding the business

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

@Berzeck1 so is the NULS project working now or in progress?

๐Ÿ“Berzeck

Every product i described is in production and working right now

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

Is there a way to earn passive income with Nuls or Nerve?

๐Ÿ“Berzeck

Absolutely, both are DPOS based systems so you can stake. and earn rewards without doing anything else. Nerve also has the ability to allow you to stake with ethereum and some erc20 tokens and soon btc and other blockchains. Also you can choose a commitment, for example if you commit 3 months staking then you earn proportionally more rewards than the rest.

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

Most Altcoins, adoption is critical to positive price movements. For Nuls, however, this may take some time. The projectโ€™s roadmap lists a goal of just 15nuls based applications as their next milestone, can you explain why is it so?

๐Ÿ“Berzeck

In march 2020 we finished a complete restructuring of the project, it is almost a new project in several ways, since then the price climbed from 0.09 to 0.45. We have 10 SCO projects and 40+ companies that have used ChainFactory to create blockchains, so we achieved our goal.

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

How much do you need to start with before earning on NULs or Nerve and how do you convert NVT to Dollar?

๐Ÿ“Berzeck

In NULS you need 2000 NULS to stake and for NErve you need 10000 NVT. BUT this requirement will be down next week and will be just 1000 NVT. You can use an mxc or bitmart exchange for that. But soon NDEX you will be able to trade with USDT or DAI

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

Do you have a telegram channel specific for Africa where most us who are interested in NULS can join

๐Ÿ“Berzeck

you guys can join @nulsio. and @NerveNEtwork

https://t.me/NulsAfrica thatโ€™s specifically for Africa

๐Ÿ’ก Community Question

I have no account at NULs how do I register

๐Ÿ“Berzeck

you can create a NErve based account at. wallet.nerve.network you can deposit nuls and nerve there. For chain factory: factory.nuls.io

SCO program: pocm.nuls.io. (check for projects building upon our blockchain !!! )

ok guys i will give a few tokens to all that participated, please leave your NULS address here. ONLY those who asked questions above.

Host
