LET’S LAUNCH A ROCKET TO THE MOON, CARRYING bitcoin PRIVATE KEYS.That’s the point of bitcoin, right? 🤔We can do whatever we want.So why are we waiting to go to the moon?Let’s just do it.
This would by far be bitcoin’s largest PR stunt, in history. Pulling off something so magnificent, hilarious, and epic would garner world-wide attention of a digital meme being brought into life. An idea that manifests out of the will of many, enabled by a technology that empowers global collaboration.
Through the collective effort of many enthusiasts, we’ll put a bitcoin wallet on the moon. Over time, it would become a popular burn address that anyone can contribute towards and increase the bounty. As funds trickle into the wallet, as the price of bitcoin increases and as the cost of space travel decreases…
WE’LL DECENTRALIZE THE BOUNTY FOR A GLOBAL RACE TO THE MOON. POWERED BY bitcoin. (thanks ‘toshi)“This is a joke.”
No it’s not.
It’s 2018. There’s a roadster on it’s way to mars. Countries are using magic internet money. Pundits are discussing politician’s tweets on national television. 20k flamethrowers were sold as a spontaneous joke.
The future is now. It’s time to take bitcoin to the moon (seriously) 👩🚀👩🚀🚀🌔
“Then How?”
It’s simple.
📈 Over time the price of bitcoin rises.📉 Over time the price of space travel falls.
Thus, if we put a bitcoin wallet on the moon, then anyone can contribute to the bounty and help trigger a race to the moon to get it.
Thus, the problem is much simpler, we just have to:
Find a rocket going to the moon Figure out how to crowdfund itFigure out how to ensure no one knows the private key unless you go to the moon and get it.That’s it. Simple.
Over the next few months enthusiasts from across the world will begin contributing their expertise towards each of these problems. Once we overcome them together, we’ll have all the pieces we need to successfully launch a bitcoin wallet to the moon.
The rest, will be history.
It’s time to show the world what decentralized efforts can accomplish.

Online privacy is everyone’s issue (source: Web Hosting Geeks)By
78% of about internet privacy. In the information age and (neo)liberalised globalisation, our ability to remain truly private is becoming less of a probability. Emerging technologies (like blockchain) and unique lifestyles (think of your minimalist, spiritual types) potentially afford a new way to privatise our lives.
This is not a comprehensive nor personalised primer on online privacy. Think of it more as an expose’ or peep-show on what measures you can take to attain something that resembles privacy.
Now, I looked at the above statistic and thought “really though?” Get out of my face with that nonsense. Anecdotally, (which is as good as empirical evidence, right?) there are so many people I know who give three-eights of fuck-all about their online privacy. If you are audacious and motivated, there is a lot you can find out about people online. If you’re skilled — well, .
This is me when people tell me they “care about privacy”
Why, then, should you care about your online privacy? Well, your online presence is and should be yours to own. Let it be known: This amounts to billions of dollars funding these social engines that manufacture consent and direct public discourse.
I can hear they naysayers: “yeah but, so what — it doesn’t even affect me bro”.
First of all, I’m not your bro.
Second of all, it does affect you. Let me explain.
It is literally a human right.
states the following:
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.
Your right to privacy has been espoused since the Enlightenment period. Classic liberals are pissed (and for good reason.) Kant and Smith would be turning in their graves.
Ceding your privacy has Orwellian consequences.
1984 by George Orwell: a book about North Korea and nullified privacy (source: Quartz)
It’s almost as if the world’s strategic intelligence agencies (such as the NSA and GCHQ) read 1984 and thought “how can we do this and get away with it?” Read anything about the major scandals in or the changes made to , and you’ll find an uncanny resemblence to the Ministry of Truth. (I’m not exaggerating — read and place in context to the supposedly rising threat in international terrorism.)
Your lack of privacy can we weaponised.
Cleaning a ruined reputation is hardwork (source: Pinterest)
Remember, everything you do online can be manipulated, cherry picked and weaponised to attack your reputation. Resumes are becoming an online portfolio, and with that, your personal branding can make or break your employability (or in totalitarian regimes — your life.)
Need I go on?
The state of privacy in the 21st century is a mess. It’s near-impossible to be a functional member of society without a phone. Often, the impetus is on you, the bread winner, to have an online presence and be contactable to some degree.
Additionally, the government and centralised media monopolies care little for your rights. The 24-hour news cycle distorts your perception on the actuality of reality, and things come to fruition with you knowing.
Take for instance, in March 2017, to sell your web browsing history. It takes , a comedian (not a journalist), to raise awareness of a really sneaky act.
Who said congress could do this? Don’t we live in democracy?
These monopolies we sell our biographies to are the anethema to everything we stand for. This is some Orwellian shit — it’s time for a revolution.
So what can you do about it?
Take this :
There is no perfect way. Here is a decent start: Buy a disposable laptop with CD drive — pay with cash and store it on shelf for decent amount of time for cooldown. Remove camera, mic, bluetooth, internal Wi-Fi card, speakers and hard drive. Do not register the laptop. To connect online, use a third party USB Wi-Fi interface together with yagi/cantenna and connect to unsecured AP from safe location far away from home. Randomize MAC and hostname as you do that. Only use the latest Tails liveCD to connect online. Make sure the Tor browser’s noscript add-on is set to block everything globally, and that the browser’s security level is set to max.
Realistic? Maybe.
Unsustainable? You bet.
It’s just not a viable option anymore. Additionally, not everyone is tech savvy nor time rich to be exploring methods of incognito internet usage.
Applications like allow users to enjoy social media without any exploitative loopholes. Herein lies the strength of Connect Social: the distributed nature of the blockchain means that no authority has visibility over your information. In other words, what you post on Connect Social is for the people, by the people.
Like I said, the revolution is here. Privacy is our right. Your content is valuable. It’s time to take what is ours.
We talk a lot about revolutions at Connect. And it is important to know that we can’t bring about change without your help. To avoid sounding like Uncle Sam, we need your help to bring about change.
Wait — hear me out. I’m not selling you shit.
Please, click on this and begin referring your friends and family.
Thank you for believing in us in these early stages. It will be worth it in the end.

Title:SALE Prior to Phase 2 — P2PS (P2P Solutions Foundation)
Message:
Website:
Telegram:
Investment risk: low
What: A platform that helps protect everything that you send or store digitally from any third-party intervention.
When: ICO Apr 02.2018 — May.31.2018
about the project
P2P solutions foundation is an independent body whose mission is the creation of a worldwide network of digital services. The basic idea is to make all the data (both personal and corporate) stored and transmitted digitally, 100 percent safe from any third-party intervention.
History
The idea of the project arose in 2010. After many years, The Push System was created as a response to the needs of the market. This is a high-speed digital packet data system on secure peer-to-peer P2P networks.
Two companies ISI and ELI (Electronic Learning INC and Innovative Solutions International INC) were the pioneers of P2P platforms, and now will be the first to implement payments exclusively with P2PS tokens. And their existing customers will be the starting resource for the development of the project.
Potential market for technology use in 49 countries
SOM (Serviced market) 770 million customers
SAM (Serviced Affordable Market) 1.15 billion customers
TAM (Total Affordable Market) 1.5 billion customers
Innovation
P2PS technology is better than traditional ones, which are used by such companies as Dropbox, Alibabacoud, Google disk, onedrive, etc.
* Decentralization (there is no way to crack information, it is not stored in one place)
• Usage fee will be lower
• It is an independent resource, so that no company or government can abuse it
• Your data is always online
Tokens
• Will be the main calculating resource on the platform
• Service sellers will buy tokens to use a secure platform
• Replace the license fee on various peer-to-peer e-commerce networks
Finance:
Tokens: P2PS
Softcap: discussed
HardCap: 136000ETH
Price: (250 P2PS = 0.06BTC = 1ETH = 6LTC)
Minimal purchase: 50P2PS
Accepted: BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH
Interesting Facts
• Among the advisors, David Drake (one of the most important people in the field of blockchain
• The P2PS token will begin to work with the finished client base in North America, Europe and Australia, as well as in the Middle East (due to ISI and ELI)
• P2PS tokens will be placed on Bittrex, Poloniex, Coinone, Yobit, Liqui, Waves DEX, EtherDelta and Cryptopia, as well as among other well-known crypto-exchanges
Conclusion: We look forward to the impact this project will have on the high potential for security.

You may or may not have known about blockchain technology, but I will assume whom ever is reading this have not yet heard about it. I will briefly describe the technology before we investigate what affect will blockchain have on different industry. If you would like more context into this technology I would highly suggest browsing to
A quick intro for the curious
When you hear about blockchain it is not a single block wrapped in metal chains, but rather multiple independent container (block) that holds verified transactions. Each block is link to another block via a locking mechanism know as the chain. The chain is simply a hash code generated by complex cryptography.
That was barely scratching the surface but lets dive into how blockchain can affect different industries.
There are 3 industry I am going to be talking about in this post
Supply chainBankingGovernanceSupply chain
It is simple to order something from amazon.ca and get your content deliver to your doors. But you ever wonder about the logistic and background process that must happen to get you your item(s)?
I have researched and identify a few risk pertaining to supply chain
Risk #1 : Human errors. People can make typographic errors.
Risk #2: Contract are handle by lawyers and bankers, and a by product is tons of delay.
Risk #3: Reliance of quality assurance.
Risk #4: Time spent on verification between manufacturer and supplier can take days.
As the risk entail, friction in supply chain is a big problem. Company takes years to reduce friction. Now the same key features in blockchain can be used and apply into supply chain in aspect like
Consensus: All involving entities must agree that each transaction is valid. This could be payment, transport, warehousing, or even delivery.Provenance: Company and consumer can identify where all asset comes from: iron, tech, machines, food product…etcImmutability: No entities can alter data in the blockchain without everyone else noticing. This means that no payment entries can be falsified.Healthcare
Patient data are often recorded and stored centrally at a specific hospital or clinic, and this often makes it inconvenient for patient to see another healthcare location. It is difficult in its nature because the patient will need to request a file of their health history and deliver it to the next clinic or hospital. However, the hospital or clinic may request information on the patient behalf instead. But the facts is, this process takes a very long time and depending where the response is from, the data on the patient could be outdated because “Joe” hasn’t visited XX clinic in 15 years…
Utilizing the blockchain technology, the healthcare industry can better their data sharing between providers. Which result in, higher probability of accurate diagnoses, more effective treatment, overall increase in healthcare organization. Doctors can track data provenance and any changes made to his/her patient’s data.
Governance
One aspect in this area I like to talk about is ID management. At the heart of every interaction is trust. Lets take a sales scenario to really understand why identification management is a huge issue.
A customer comes into a telecommunication retail store…. The employee greets the customer, welcoming them and building rapport. The customer is a friendly one; they start telling you what they’re looking for: inexpensive phone to get by while they deal with family issue. The employee is happy to sign up the customer, however, the customer says they are going through rough time and her boyfriend stole her wallet along with her “ID”…..
Now according to policy the employee must need some sort of identification to sign up an account for the customer. In this case, the customer must leave without a phone.
The next day the same customer came back and conveniently provide the employee her “governement ID”… The picture looks accurately like her.
Now what decision would the employee make? To trust the customer out of empathy and proceed to create a sensitive account or to simply refuse because you don’t trust the customer. The two possible result out of many is
account created but end up being fraudulent and the employee feels stupid for their mistake. Trust level decrease.account created and everything is verified. Trust level increase.
Trust is so blind. If we were to implement blockchain technology within identification management the employee can simply request to see the customer ID and have a sense of trust that everything is going to be alright.
Losing your ID is quite labour intensive to obtain again. You’ll need to go through many government insitution and get verified; answer many personal question that you might not even remember; wait many months for everything to be process, and the list goes on.
Accessing the blockchain network using your private key you can prove who you are. Now a days a person identity isn’t just name, address, phone number anymore, but may also include financial history, medical history, previous schooling and so on.
The blockchain is an append only distributed ledger. As a person grow, new attribute are added on like the context mention above. The new attribute can be appended onto the distributed ledger and be verified by the network.
Conclusion
I want to thank those that gotten through this post. There is a lot of question around blockchain technology since it is so abstract. I am no expert in this field but it is something that continues to intrigue my conscience. As I finished writing this post there are still so many questions I have been asking myself. The more research I do the more answer I get, but in return I am probe with x2 more questions. The industry Ihave listed above do have major friction in which the blockchain can help solve. I hope sometime in the future a slow and steady implementation start taking place to reduce these friction.
