Tech giants make it easy to develop software for their proprietary ecosystems. What we need is something that will make it just as easy to create open-source software for blockchain — and get rewarded fairly for it https://youtu.be/HGjFzszqPgk

If we want to decentralize the Internet, we must build a unifying experience layer for blockchain. https://youtu.be/6NKybiFaLCY

We have published the first update about the Cardstack Token Generation Event (TGE). This official blog post clarifies the timeline and criteria for Batch A, B, and C.

We’re excited to announce that Cardstack founding director Chris Tse will be doing a YouTube AMA.

We’ve been humbled and excited by the support for Cardstack’s goal of building the experience layer of the decentralized Internet. Our project is built upon the open-source ethos, so we want our community to be informed and involved as we approach the Token Generation Event.

Chris will be answering your questions from the Cardstack Telegram community. Feel free to ask anything and everything on your mind about the project — simply submit it in our Telegram group and use the hashtag #AMA.

All questions need to be submitted by February 21st, 2018. The AMA video will be shared to our Telegram group, and on our social media platforms when it is published.

Thank you for your continued support.

There was a region wide black out in Zug yesterday, and has affected the IP routing configurations in Bitcoin Suisse's system. We are awaiting word from Bitcoin Suisse when the platform will be up and running again.

Here’s a major blind spot in blockchain: is there a better use of the GPUs in the Ethereum world? (The answer is yes.)

Read about Cardstack's Tally consensus protocol, which scales Ethereum dApps using existing hash power:

There are different pools collecting funds claiming to have an allocation from Cardstack. Our Early Contribution agreement does not allow for redistribution of tokens from parties that did not KYC/AML before the issuance of ECAs. Please do not participate, as these pools are likely scams. Even if they are not, we will rescind their allocation due to the violation of the terms.

Last week, Chris was in Hong Kong, where he worked with crypto enthusiasts on lining up behind the Tally protocol. The Tally approach presents a way to provide scalability for the type of multi-payer and multi-payee payment network Cardstack is trying to build.

We have completed a few rounds of security audit for our smart contract, conducted by NCC Group. Additionally, we have added the upgradable and extensible part of the Cardstack Token Mechanism and the vesting features, improved the whitelisting capabilities, as well as implemented the proxy patterns with Ethereum Name Service (ENS) support. The source code will be open-sourced soon for a more public review. You can read about our approach to token vesting in our Medium blog post: https://medium.com/cardstack/building-a-token-vesting-contract-b368a954f99
