Casper API- universal solutions for secure data storage

We are proud to say that Casper API is a universal one that suits virtually all users by offering convenient storage solutions. Our system is independent of any particular blockchain and allows to collect data from many blockchain platforms at once. This means that Casper API can be used to solve problems in any application and on any platform. This allows service providers to increase profits, and app developers to make it easier to integrate different platforms.
Casper API — has all the usual functions of cloud storage but more convenient and safer. The infrastructure is suitable for any applications, websites, offline businesses without smart contracts.
Speaking about the advantages of our project it is necessary to highlight the main points. We use:
smart contract, it makes it easier for customers to communicate with suppliers;
P2P architecture, it enhances network reliability;
ZK-SNARK cryptography, which ensures the confidentiality of transactions.
And we also provide SDK that allows to quickly and easily integrate any applications with our platform, including DApp.
Our storage solutions are ideal for DApp because we provide full transparency of transactions, easy integration via SDK, reliable and profitable storage.
As we know that many options for storing information on the blockchain are extremely expensive and inconvenient — we used the other way creating a universal solution, without reference to one blockchain. This, in turn, allowed us to make our economic model more stable, because integration with different platforms eliminates the risk of errors in the choice of a single partner and makes it possible to obtain data for storage from suppliers of different sources.
We are confident that Casper API will take a leading position in the growing market of decentralized applications. And at the same time it will be an attractive solution for the classic business, as Casper API is a great savings on tariffs in comparison with centralized users.

Ending the Federal Reserve from the Bottom Up

mises.org / William Greene / March 31, 2017

Since its inception, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policies have led to a decline of over 95% in the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar. As a result, there have been several attempts to curtail or eliminate the Federal Reserve’s powers (e.g., the efforts of Rep. Louis T. McFadden in the 1930s; the efforts of Rep. Wright Patman in the 1970s; the efforts of Rep. Henry Gonzalez in the 1990s; and the efforts of Rep. Ron Paul since the 1990s). However, none have proven successful to date, due mainly to the constraints of strong political opposition at the national level. In contrast to these “top‐down” attempts at the national level, this paper proposes an alternative approach to ending the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money: the “Constitutional Tender Act,” a bill template that can be introduced in every state legislature in the nation, returning each of them to adherence to the U.S. Constitution’s “legal tender” provisions of Article I, Section 10.

This approach would have a greater likelihood of success for a number of reasons. First, it is decentralized: rather than facing concerted political opposition at a single Federal level, it attacks the issue at the State level, where strategies and tactics can be adapted to the types and amount of political opposition they encounter. Second, it is diffused: it can be attempted in any number of States, which can cause the opposition to spread its resources much more thinly than would be necessary at the Federal level. Finally, it is legally sound: it relies on the U.S. Constitution’s negative mandate in Article I, Section 10, that “No State shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” Therefore, in contrast to “top‐down” attempts to “end the Fed,” a “bottom‐up” approach using “constitutional tender” laws will find greater success.
