The pioneering Ethereum-based e-commerce solution is looking for Sellers and Ambassadors to kickstart its new platform.
will launch its decentralised marketplace in June. The project, which is built using Ethereum’s smart contracts, will enable buyers and sellers to connect directly – facilitating free and private online commerce.
Traditional user experience, low fees
The marketplace takes the form of a downloadable piece of software that connects to the Ethereum blockchain via either BitBoost’s node or a local node, if preferred. Payments for goods are made in ETH, and all listings cost a flat fee of just $1, payable in the BBT token. The team has worked hard to replicate the look and feel of traditional e-commerce platforms, with instant search and product images hosted on Imgur for anonymity.
‘We think this is going to be a game-changing decentralised e-commerce solution,’ says founder and CEO Paul Mahone. ‘We believe in free trade, and the BitBoost marketplace entirely removes several common barriers and intermediaries in online commerce. Anyone can sign up for an account. You don’t need to submit an email address or any personal details: all that is required is an Ethereum address. The interface is clean and familiar, payments are fast and borderless, and privacy is built in.’
Sellers’ Programme
BitBoost is looking for merchants to join the platform’s , bootstrapping activity on the marketplace and helping to build network effect and momentum. With low listing fees, and a smart contracts escrow system to protect both buyers and sellers, the company believes it will be an attractive alternative to the high commission fees and data harvesting that are the price of doing business in the traditional e-commerce industry.
BitBoost is also looking for Ambassadors to promote the initiative around the crypto world and the broader e-commerce sector. If you would like to be involved in the project as a Seller or Ambassador, contact info@bitboost.net.

Skrumble Network announces $15 million in funding allowing people to connect globally on the most secure network possible
Toronto, May 2018 – , the blockchain and application creating secure connections for communication, announces today that its crowd sale completely sold out in early-bird in one hour. Skrumble Network surpassed its goal reaching its hard cap of 20,000 ETH and securing $15 million USD in total. Skrumble Network’s first exchange will be an exclusive main board listing with Gate.io on May 10th.
Think of your daily news feed, chances are you’re overwhelmed by stories covering recent data leaks on major social media platforms. This is because existing communication and social media platforms operate on a centralized server where third parties are granted full access to users private information. Any one of these servers could be hacked at any moment, creating a huge concern for anyone who shares information on the web. 87M Facebook users had their data leaked, Telegram is banned in multiple countries, WeChat censors conversations- but with Skrumble Network, none of this is a problem.
Now, more than ever, there is a need for data privacy and security when it comes to users’ digital persona. With Skrumble Network, community members have the opportunity to take back ownership of their data, communicate freely and build their own secure solutions.
Skrumble Network isn’t just utilizing blockchain technology, the company is building infrastructure for:
An open source communication-centric blockchain for other applications to utilize and build onto the network.
A decentralized communication application built on their very own blockchain.
A communication layer for developers to add Skrumble Network’s decentralized communication features into their applications.
With a recently released beta version .01 of their decentralized communication application, Skrumble Network is building a full spectrum platform that will breakthrough traditional firewalls, assure user anonymity, and guarantee privacy. Including various robust features such as:
Unique, secure connections per conversation to ensure privacy
Real-time voice and video calling with up to 50 people
Edit, save and unsend messages
Large file transfers, and user-controlled distributed file storage
Wallet integrations for in-context money transfers and simple smart contracts
An SKM utility token that allows users to unlock specific features and can be used as the means of payment for interacting with Skrumble Network directly and/or for P2P user value exchanges
Open source SDKs (software development kit) that will encourage third party developers to build new blockchain technologies and applications
Skrumble Network uses a unique consensus-based algorithm derived from unique session ID and its seed key, ensuring that all files, messages, and information are encrypted. The unique session IDs allow for every peer-to-peer connection to be completely private, putting the ownership right back into the hands of the user. Skrumble Network provides security eliminating the potential for hackable servers, manipulation of data, or any privacy breaches.
Since the Skrumble Network project was announced, it’s attracted such renowned crypto and tech luminaries such as Anthony DiIorio, Co-Founder of Ethereum, Decentral and Jaxx, Jeff Pulver, VoIP Pioneer and Co-Founder of Vonage, Jinius Tu, CTO of Aion, and more, and are backed by 15 globally recognized capital partners and investors like Block VC, LD Capital, Wolf Crypto, and more.
“Social media has completely changed the face of communication, and now, data privacy and ownership is one of the biggest concerns of this time. 2.2 billion users around the world have trusted Facebook with their information; 87 million of those users received a wake up call a few weeks ago when they got notifications that their personal data was compromised, sold, and used to manipulate them” describes Eric Lifson, Co-Founder of Skrumble Network. “Skrumble Network aims to build back the trust that has been lost since these recent events. Finally, people can connect globally and speak freely on the most secure network possible.”

Blockpass has built a user-centric, self-sovereign identity solution for regulated industries and the Internet of Everything, with its KYC product is already available for iPhone and Android phones. The company is starting the initial distribution of the Blockpass token (PASS) from the 31st of May to the 30th of November via Official Distributors.
The purpose of the token is to expand the network of users of Blockpass. When a user receives the token they will need to download the product and conduct KYC with the Blockpass Foundation before they are able to transfer the token on; we refer to this as ‘Sender KYC’). The utility of the token is to obtain discount on verification services provided by Blockpass as well as ‘identity mining’ which rewards users and enterprises providing services for identity verification.

In a welcome development for crypto-enthusiasts everywhere, the downturn of cryptocurrency prices that dogged the start of the month seems to have turned around, with bitcoin prices rising from low of around $6,600 to around $9,600. There are a number of reasons that this recovery may be happening but one worth noting in particular could be that the wealth of ‘fake news’ that has been posted around bitcoin, including hacks and governments banning it, is beginning to be seen through. Greater understanding of cryptocurrencies by investors reveals its potential and counters the claims that it is a haven for criminals or has no value. Despite this, mainstream media can still be seen propagating FUD as it uses bitcoin in a negative light as a buzzword to garner more interest, when usually the fact that cryptocurrency is involved is irrelevant. However, serious financial players, including Goldman Sachs, are planning to provide bitcoin services due to consumer demand — highlighting the growing mainstream support.
The benefits of a cryptocurrency are even being realised on a governmental level, with Venezuela launching its own cryptocurrency — rapidly prompting President Trump to ban US involvement in the new ‘Petro’ — which reportedly raised at least $US5 billion, although this amount is hotly debated. In similar news, there have also been reports of other governments considering issuing their own cryptocurrency, including Russia, Turkey and Iran.
