IBM Establishes 5 Blockchain Principles To Drive Enterprise Adoption And Benefit Society

  • As an early advocate for blockchain, IBM has been working vigorously to commercialize the technology through its enterprise-grade version of Hyperledger Fabric, known as IBM Blockchain.
  • Hyperledger Fabric currently empowers 1300 networks in the IBM blockchain cloud, 100 of which are live in production today.

Rachel Wolfson, Contributon

Following years of experimentation and the advancement of established live networks, IBM has now established a set of 5 “blockchain for good principles,” demonstrating how trusted and transparent enterprise blockchains can benefit organizations and society as a whole.

The principles, which are also outlined in an IBM blog post, are:

  1. Open is better
  2. Permissioned doesn’t mean private
  3. Governance is a team sport
  4. Common standards are common sense
  5. Privacy is paramount

When IBM’s CEO, Ginni Rometty, began commenting on data rights with respect to data analytics, we became inspired on the blockchain side. Over the past 3 years, we have worked with many clients and have gained perspectives that have driven these principles. There are ways to use blockchain technology that are critical and would lead to good outcomes, but let’s make sure we don’t leave that to guess work. That is how these 5 principles came about and it’s our responsibility to abide by them wisely and share them with others,” Jerry Cuomo, Vice President of IBM Blockchain and IBM Fellow, told me.

In order to better understand how each principle is being applied, Cuomo went into detail about the standards.

Open Is Better

According to IBM, blockchain networks must foster diverse communities of open source contributors to promote innovation and ensure the overall quality of code.

The open is better principle is carried across many aspects of what we do at IBM. Open is always better when it comes to the cloud, artificial intelligence or the Internet of Things, but it has especially interesting implications when looked at from a blockchain context. We have always been an ‘open by design’ company, but we think carrying that principle to blockchain is fundamental to our strategy,” explained Cuomo.

For example, IBM points out that The Hyperledger Project, operated under The Linux Foundation, is a “greenhouse” for growing enterprise-grade blockchain software with strong and diverse code contributors.

“Hyperledger is an open technology co-created by multiple institutions. The users of this technology benefit since collaborations create diversity,” said Cuomo.

Moreover, Hyperledger Fabric also allows IBM to monetize due to the collaborative nature of the technology.

Institutions like IBM working on Hyperledger Fabric are able to monetize due to the openness. For instance, Oracle has the Oracle Blockchain, but they monetize using Hyperledger Fabric. We are all collaborating to create these blockchain networks, but we all have competitive offerings. Without breaking the openness, we can add value to differentiate from our solutions. In turn, consumers get high quality code offered through multiple institutions. This is a unique business model built around the idea of open source,” noted Cuomo.

Permissioned Doesn’t Mean Private

Although anonymous public blockchains afford a number of powerful capabilities, IBM believes that these are not suitable for most enterprises, particularly those in regulated industries. Rather, to support an enterprise-grade platform aligned with regulatory and fiduciary responsibilities, enterprise blockchains must be designed around the principle of permissioned and trusted access. However, it’s important to understand that permissioned doesn’t mean private.

Blockchain is about trust. For instance, we trust businesses because of the rules they follow. But rules also have accountability, meaning you have to know which businesses are participating in certain systems. There are types of blockchains that are anonymous like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and there are types of blockchains like Hyperledger Fabric and several others that are permissioned. Permissioned is important because it insists that members of the network are known to the network. Permissions are balanced with privacy so blockchains that follow these principles have privacy capabilities that allow members to transact confidentially,” said Cuomo.

Maintaining a balance through a permissioned network is critical for IBM, as most organizations need to know whom they’re conducting business with to ensure that no illegal activity is being transacted over the network.

Governance Is A Team Sport

IBM also believes that enterprise blockchains must embrace distributed and transparent governance to ensure that networks serve the needs of all participants and are managed in a manner reflective of each use case.

“Governance means rules. These rules will define who the elected officials are, who is responsible for what roles and obligations, etc. Governance is mandatory in a blockchain network,” said Cuomo.

Moreover, IBM notes that a trusted governance model requires at least three designated trust anchors and that governance frameworks should also take into account a network’s funding model.

For example, the Verfied:Me identity network in Canada, convened by SecureKey Inc, has enlisted major Canadian banks to participate as trust anchors to host nodes and validate network transactions. SecureKey has created a governance model that involves ongoing checks and balances between its constituent working groups.

Common Standards Are Common Sense

Additionally, IBM understands that enterprise blockchains should be architected around common standards that are interoperable in order to help future-proof networks, prevent vendor lock-in and foster a robust ecosystem of innovators. This also involves interoperability of cloud platforms. And while most blockchain networks presently exist in siloes, the technology is evolving to support a network of networks.

According to IBM, the first step in promoting this interoperability is to make blockchains visible to one another through a registry, such as Hacera Unbounded.  Moreover, blockchain networks should define and publish their data models and policies for change according to industry standards.

Privacy Is Paramount

Finally, IBM thinks that an enterprise blockchain should control who can access data and under what circumstances. Blockchain networks must also abide by privacy regulations such as GDPR. In most cases, that means any personal data should be kept off-chain.

For example, IBM Food Trust is a blockchain network aimed at ensuring food safety, freshness and sustainability. This network enables brands like Walmart, Albertsons and Driscoll to leverage shared data to enact various supply-chain efficiencies, while safeguarding each member’s proprietary information.

Is This Behind The Latest $25 Billion Bitcoin And Crypto Price Rally?

  • Bitcoin has been soaring over the weekend, boosting most major cryptocurrencies including ethereum, litecoin, Ripple’s XRP, EOS, and bitcoin cash—and adding some $25 billion to the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization since Friday morning, taking it over $200 billion of the first time this year.
  • Now trading at a little over $7,000 per bitcoin, after beginning the year at under $4,000, taking the total value of all bitcoins over $124 billion and making up 58% of the broader cryptocurrency market cap.

Billy Bambrough, Contributor

The bitcoin price is now trading at a little over $7,000 per bitcoin, after beginning the year at under $4,000, taking the total value of all bitcoins over $124 billion and making up 58% of the broader cryptocurrency market cap.

Over the weekend some major bitcoin holders, known as whales, moved a staggering number of the digital tokens, potentially pushing the market higher, with the single biggest whale moving 47,000 bitcoin worth an eye-watering $343 million, according to data from Whale Alert, which tracks big cryptocurrency moves.

The latest bitcoin rally has seen the world’s largest cryptocurrency shoot up by almost 40% over the last 30 days.

Bitcoin whales have traded around 100,000 bitcoin over the weekend, with a total value of some $670 million dollars. Most of the bitcoin whales have been moving their holdings out of major cryptocurrency exchanges, with just a few of the biggest transactions over the weekend involving cryptocurrency wallets moving bitcoin to an exchange.

Large bitcoin and cryptocurrency transactions can prop up the market, with the holders not selling via online exchanges but opting to continue holding the digital tokens instead, known in the bitcoin and cryptocurrency sector as “hodling.”

Bitcoin holders are continuing to bet on the asset despite the bitcoin price almost doubling since the beginning of this year, suggesting they see it moving still higher as bitcoin sentiment turns increasingly bullish.

Last week, analysts from investment bank Canaccord Genuity said they expect bitcoin to rally hard over the next 24 months, potentially returning to its late 2017 highs due to next year’s halving event, where the number of bitcoins rewarded to miners will be cut by 50%.

The last week has been a difficult one for the bitcoin and cryptocurrency sector, however, despite the broad price rally.

Bitcoin climbed even as the market processed the news $40 million of bitcoin (some 7,000 of the digital tokens) were stolen from the Malta-based Binance exchange, the world’s largest bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange by volume, and Binance’s widely-respected chief executive Changpeng Zhao caused controversy by suggesting he could “re-organize” the bitcoin blockchain to recover the funds.

The bitcoin price climbed over the course of last week despite a serious security breach at major bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. CoinDesk

Meanwhile, the bitcoin and cryptocurrency industry is gearing up for one of the biggest events in the cryptocurrency calendar starting today—Blockchain Week NYC and CoinDesk’s Consensus 2019 event, running all week out of the New York Hilton Midtown.

This year headline speakers include FedEx’s Fred Smith, Fidelity’s Abigail Johnson, Twitter and Square’s Jack Dorsey, chairman of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, Jay Clayton, and U.S. presidential hopeful, Andrew Yang.

“As crypto’s true believers gather in New York for Consensus this week, they are counting ever-more household-name companies amongst their number,” said Simon Peters, an analyst at brokerage eToro. “The possibility of big crypto-related announcements from some of the world’s biggest corporates will be part of what is driving bitcoin’s price upward.

“This buzz follows a recent spate of good news for bitcoin, with large institutional investors like Fidelity Investments increasing their exposure to crypto-assets in recent weeks. If we see institutions begin to pump serious money into the market, we could be at the start of a very long bull run for crypto-assets.”

Crypto Markets Hit New 2019 Top as Bitcoin Cranks Higher to $6.3k

By: Martin Young

Market Wrap

  • End of the week has seen crypto markets hit another new high for 2019.
  • Bitcoin is pushing things higher as it eats away at the altcoins and itself posts new highs for the year.
  • Total market capitalization just passed $190 billion for the first time since November 2018.

The end of the week has seen crypto markets hit another new high for 2019. Bitcoin is pushing things higher as it eats away at the altcoins and itself posts new highs for the year. Total market capitalization just passed $190 billion for the first time since November 2018.

A new yearly high of just below $6,300 was made by Bitcoin a couple of hours ago. It has not dropped below $6k since breaching the psychological barrier in early trading yesterday and has pushed on a further 3 percent today. The big move has taken BTC volume up to $18 billion and market cap over $110 billion. Its dominance is now at a 17 month high of 58 percent, a level not seen since the big surge at the end of 2017.

The big move by BTC has pulled Ethereum up a little as it approaches $175. On the downside ETH market share has been eaten away to under ten percent as it remains sluggish.

The top ten is mostly red at the moment with only Litecoin making any positive momentum as it reaches $77 with 2.5 percent added on the day. Binance Coin is getting dumped dropping 8 percent back to $19 and XRP and Stellar continue to get eroded losing another couple of percent today.

There is greater pain in the top twenty as altcoins get assaulted by their big brother. Cosmos has been smashed 8 percent to fall below $4 and Tron and Maker have both lost over 4 percent over the past 24 hours. The rest are losing a couple of percent each as Bitcoin continues to consume them.

FOMO: Arcblock Still Pumping

Yesterday’s fomo driven pump has rolled into another day as ABT surges a further 40 percent lifting its position to 76th. South Koreans are all over this one as Bithumb dominates the trade volume in KRW. Social media tipping based altcoin ReddCoin is also flying at the moment with a gain of 18 percent on the back of Facebook’s rumored foray into crypto. Aurora is back again with another pump today of 15 percent which will dump tomorrow.

Speaking of dumps, WAX is in bad shape as it drops 9 percent as the top one hundred’s biggest loser. BNB and Cosmos are not far behind dumping 8 percent each.

Total market capitalization 24 hours. Coinmarketcap.com

Total crypto market capitalization has reached a new high for the year at $192 billion. The $4 billion, or two percent, gain on the day is largely due to Bitcoin which is a steamroller at the moment. Total daily volume is at its highest level for the week at $54 billion as markets slowly grind towards $200 billion.

Crypto Market Wrap: Bitcoin Dominating as Markets Retest 2019 Highs

Martin Young

Crypto markets have been bolstered back up to their highest levels of the year again today. There was no selloff in the wake of the Binance hack and Bitcoin has finally broke resistance and made it over the psychological barrier of $6,000. Total market capitalization has been increased by $5 billion to just below $190 billion, its highest level since November 2018.

Bitcoin surged to a new 2019 high of $6,075 a few hours ago during early Asian trading. Getting above $6k is a huge achievement for BCT, especially considering recent news and FUD. Most analysts agree that there is huge resistance here and overcoming it will not be easy. Bitcoin traded in this range for over three months last year.

Ethereum has been flat and only managed a percent or so to creep back over $170. There has been little momentum for ETH since the CTFC nod which has largely been forgotten now.

The top ten is predominantly green at the moment but gains are marginal and Bitcoin is leading the pack. Bitcoin Cash has made almost 3 percent to top $290 while Litecoin and EOS have added 1.5 percent each, the rest have not moved much.

Top twenty gains are the greatest for Bitcoin SV which has surged almost 10 percent to $58. There does not appear to be a great deal driving momentum aside from the movements of its big brother. Monero, Tezos and Maker have all added 2-3 percent but Cosmos and IOTA have dumped 3-4 percent.

FOMO: Arcblock Enters Top 100

The big move of the moment is Arcblock which has surged into the top one hundred with a 20 percent pump on the day. The ABT blockchain ecosystem token has had a few project and wallet updates to boost momentum. DigixDAO is also on a roll today with 11 percent added taking DGD to $36. Horizen is also doing well alongside BSV with 9 percent gains.

Aurora is back dumping once again in its predictable pattern as AOA drops 14 percent. Following two days of pumps ABBC Coin is now dumping with 11 percent lost today. These are the only two double digit losers at the moment.

Total market capitalization 24 hours. Coinmarketcap.com

Total crypto market capitalization has surged by $5 billion on the day to $189 billion, equaling its 2019 high. Bitcoin has been responsible for most of this as it finally gets to $6,000 with dominance reaching an eight month high of 57 percent. Volume has dropped back to $46 billion so further consolidation at this level may be on the cards.

Tesla’s warning on battery mineral shortage addressed in new mining-reform legislation

  • Representatives in the US government who are both aware and focused on the shortage issue have introduced legislation in the Senate to address delays rooted in the federal approval process.
  • The bill, titled the “American Mineral Security Act”, was presented at the same closed-door conference where Tesla expressed its concerns last week.

Tesla is concerned about a global shortage of minerals required for production of electric vehicle batteries, with the electric car maker recently warning major industry players and US government representatives of an upcoming mineral supply challenge due to underinvestment in mining sources, according to a report published by Reuters. Representatives in the US government who are both aware and focused on the shortage issue have introduced legislation in the Senate to address delays rooted in the federal approval process. The bill, titled the “American Mineral Security Act”, was presented at the same closed-door conference where Tesla expressed its concerns last week.

“Our bill takes steps that are long overdue to reverse our damaging foreign dependence and position ourselves to compete in growth industries like electric vehicles and energy storage,” Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), the main sponsor of the bill, said in a statement about the legislation. Senators Joe Manchin (D-W. Virginia), Martha McSally (R-Arizona), and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) are co-sponsors.

The bill specifically requires that a list of critical minerals be compiled at least every three years along with a resource assessment of those minerals nationwide. This data is then used to target and implement reforms in the federal regulatory process aimed at reducing government-driven delays in the mining approval process.

As a major consumer of minerals required for the production of electric vehicle (EV) batteries and other vehicle parts, Tesla will need stable access to mined resources like copper, nickel, and lithium in the long term. The expansion of the EV market will continue to increase demand for these resources. Other tech players such as Amazon and Alphabet also need the same resources for the production of their digital assistants and home connectivity devices.

Tesla’s global supply manager for battery metals, Sarah Maryssael, spoke with representatives present at the industry conference about Tesla’s concerns regarding the company’s mineral needs. Maryssael noted that a “huge potential” existed for mining partnerships in Australia and the US to help with the supply issue, possibly citing a preliminary deal between the two countries for a joint effort towards research and development in the area.

The global demand for copper, in particular, is expected to increase from the current 38,000 tons per day to 1.5 million tons by 2030, and this estimate has driven major copper production companies to expand its mining activities in the US and Indonesia. Electric cars use twice as much copper as gas-powered cars, making the EV industry particularly sensitive to its market availability.

Tesla’s needs from the mineral industry go well beyond copper. The company’s Nevada-based Gigafactory 1 facility is expected to hit 255 GWh annual production of batteries once complete. At that rate, the current global supply of lithium will need to increase nearly three times over to meet the demand. Unlike copper, though, investments in lithium production are ongoing, and Tesla’s ramping need for the mineral is driving significant expansion in part of the mineral market.

CardioComm Solutions’ $EKG.ca Heartcheck(TM) CardiBeat Handheld ECG Device Cleared by Health Canada for Direct-to-Consumer Sales $ATE.ca $TLT.ca $OGI.ca $ACST.ca $IPA.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:46 AM on Thursday, May 9th, 2019

The Bluetooth HeartCheck(TM) CardiBeat and GEMS(TM) Mobile Smartphone App will Target Home, Outpatient, Telemedicine and Cardiac Arrhythmia Monitoring Markets

  • Received approval from Health Canada for the over-the-counter sales and marketing of its existing GEMS™ Mobile smartphone app and for the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat, its newest handheld heart rhythm monitor.
  • Both devices were cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in early 2019.

Toronto, Ontario–(May 9, 2019) – CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (TSXV: EKG) (“CardioComm” or the “Company“), a global provider of consumer heart monitoring and electrocardiogram (“ECG“) acquisition and management software solutions, has received approval from Health Canada for the over-the-counter (“OTC”) sales and marketing of its existing GEMS™ Mobile smartphone app and for the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat, its newest handheld heart rhythm monitor. Both devices were cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA“) in early 2019.

The Company is very pleased with the rapid approval of the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat ECG monitor application, which was submitted to Health Canada on April 11, 2019. The GEMS™ Mobile Smartphone ECG app is cleared under pre-existing GEMS™ software approvals.

The Bluetooth-enabled and rechargeable CardiBeat easily enables anyone to take a medical-grade ECG recording by simply holding the device in both hands or by holding the device in the right hand and placing it against the left side of their chest. The GEMS™ Mobile app manages ECGs recorded by HeartCheck™ devices and provides near-real-time feedback through the generation of a free ECG report, which can be shared with a physician.

For those looking for feedback on their ECGs, GEMS™ Mobile provides access to CardioComm’s SMART Monitoring ECG reading service. This service provides a professional ECG review to confirm the presence or absence of a number of potential arrhythmias. CardioComm’s ECG pricing is highly competitive compared to other service offerings, and includes a new pricing of U$S1.99 for an ECG Triage offered with a response time as rapid as 30 minutes. ECG connectivity is also possible directly to the Company’s GEMS™ WIN software, which is used by 15 Canadian Hospitals allowing for the opportunity for patients to be monitored directly by physicians and healthcare professionals.

Unlike the US market, availability of personal ECG monitoring devices in Canada is limited, since companies intending to sell such devices must hold ISO certification in compliance with the more demanding Medical Device Single Audit Program (“MDSAP“) requirements. CardioComm completed its MDSAP certification in 2018, thereby solidifying the Company’s abilities to produce and sell its cardiac monitoring software and hardware innovations to consumers and to serve as a preferred importer, distributor and reseller of other manufacturers’ hospital and ECG medical devices.

GEMS™ Mobile is available on Apple’s App Store and on Google Play and is free with the purchase of a HeartCheckTM ECG device.
