SimpleChain Introducing Blockchain Technology to Copyright Protection
On January 8th, Leo Yu, core board member of SimpleChain Foundation, was invited by Hangzhou National Institute of Contemporary Art to give a keynote speech at the forum “Exploring Judicial Evidence Deposition Solutions for Artworks”.
This event aims to exchange ideas and explore the implementation of blockchain technology in the judicial evidence deposition of artworks. Cases of copyright disputes in artworks often encounter problems like difficulty in providing evidence, cumbersome copyright registration, complicated procedures, and high costs. Blockchain can greatly simplify and strengthen the copyright protection of artworks.
SimpleNode X1 (Red) Available
To celebrate the coming Chinese New Year, SIPC miner SimpleNode X1 is available in red!
Equipped with 28-nanometer ASIC chip designed specifically for the scryptSIPC algorithm and German Global Foundries technology, SimpleNode X1 provides 2M hashrate and 5W power usage. It can be 300 times as effective as computer graphics cards, and it’s much easier to operate.
About SimpleChain
The mission of SimpleChain is to simplify the blockchain for business.
SimpleChain is a PoW main chain with flexible sub-chains. Different sub-chains can adopt different kinds of consensus and block data structure as needed, to enable a variety of applications and use cases on blockchain. Sharding is also implemented to improve performance. This double-layered structure of one main chain and multiple sub-chains can fuel various applications while ensuring the consistency of the network.
Built on VeraxChain, SimpleChain’s first sub-chain, Baoquan.com provides record keeping services which serves to keep records of online data and authenticate electronic evidence. In June 2018, Hangzhou Internet Court of China judged a case of copyright dispute based on data stored on Baoquan.com. For the first time in China, the legal effect of the electronic data stored on blockchain is recognized in the judicial system.
