Dash, BlockPay produce POS option

Cryptocurrency Dash and digital payments platform BlockPay have combined to produce a solution where shoppers can pay with Dash directly from the merchant. Dash users scan a QR Code or tap their phone on a BlockPay NFC terminal.
“This partnership benefits our entire community and all future Dash users because adoption grows alongside real world applications,” Dash vice president of business development Daniel Diaz said. “We found BlockPay and Dash have very common goals and together we are educating people on how cryptocurrencies can often be a better alternative to fiat.”
In addition to Dash, other cryptocurrencies available on BlockPay’s POS platform include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Steem, Litecoin, and Dogecoin.
BlockPay cofounder and CEO Christoph Hering said Dash comes with some unique advantages.
“We added Dash because we see a huge potential in the very active Dash community and in the underlying scaling technology of Dash.
“At the moment, Bitcoin has a big problem from a consumer perspective. The slow transaction speed, the high transaction fees and the speculative nature of Bitcoin make it very unsexy for everyday consumption.”
In a release Dash said its current focus is on versatility and flexibility in everyday purchase options.
BlockPay plays a vital role, Mr. Diaz added.
“Because mainstream users are less familiar with the cryptocurrency culture right now, it will be important for them to experience digital currencies, at least partially, in ways they are already familiar with. POS solutions that are helping retail stores accept digital currencies in ways the public is used to help build the cultural bridges we need for widespread digital currency adoption.”
Mr. Diaz added he is hoping for strong adoption of InstantSend, which allows for secure transactions to be quickly sent from the network, a situation ideal for POS environments.
Mr. Hering said BlockPay offers several advantages to merchants.
“BlockPay alleviates the electronic payment problems of high fees from credit card transactions, fraud, chargebacks, and rolling reserves, and provides merchants with a way to accept the next generation of digital currencies at zero cost.”

Have mymonero some problems ?

Hello, this is user pandher from BTCtalk. I have been a follower and holder of Monero since 2014 when the first bitmonero thread appeared on BTCtalk. Since that thread i knew Monero was the only one worth following. The professionalism and honesty of the dev team was a rare sight in that shitcoin madness. Checking the Monero reddit page and speculation thread had become a morning habit with me. I rarely missed reading both of these in these 2 years. I saw the community grow from a few hundred to a few thousand. It was so good to watch, to witness. Although i was mostly non vocal i felt myself as a part of this community. Reading AP's posts about the new world domination were exciting. But today i bid farewell to this wonderful community. All my Monero have been stolen Since zhalox posted about his lost Monero, i woke up from my slumber and created a cold wallet using GingerAle's paranoid method. Only to find out all my 4 MyMonero accounts were wiped on 3 september 2016. I...

Dove le molecole smettono di Ur­tarsi: viaggio nella coerenza Quantistica della Vita

C’era un momento, nella storia della biologia, in cui la vita veniva immaginata come un enorme tavolo da biliardo. Molecole che si urtano. Collisioni casuali. Reazioni che accadono perché, semplicemente, qualcosa colpisce qualcos’altro nel modo giusto. Funzionava. Più o meno. Poi, lentamente, qualcosa ha iniziato a incrinarsi. Non perché quella visione fosse sbagliata, ma perché era incompleta. Troppo rumorosa. Troppo cieca. Troppo… inefficiente per spiegare ciò che osservavamo davvero. Perché dentro le cellule accadevano cose strane. Troppo veloci. Troppo precise. Troppo coordinate. Come se, invece di urtarsi alla cieca, le particelle… sapessero. Immagina di entrare dentro una cellula. Non troverai caos. Non troverai disordine. Troverai elettroni che scorrono come una valuta invisibile, scambiata con una precisione che sfida l’intuizione. Non saltano semplicemente da una molecola all’altra: a volte attraversano barriere che, secondo la fisica classica, non dovrebbero poter...

Ingegneria del contesto per l'intelligenza artificiale avanzata

  Quando si parla di IA generativa, il dibattito pubblico si concentra spesso su due aspetti: la potenza del modello e la qualità dei prompt. Tuttavia, tra questi due poli si trova un'area meno discussa ma cruciale:  il contesto  . Non stiamo parlando solo di "informazioni extra" per il modello, ma dell'architettura logica e operativa che determina il modo in cui l'intelligenza artificiale interpreta, collega e utilizza i dati per fornire risultati accurati e coerenti. È qui che entra in gioco  l'ingegneria del contesto  : l'arte (e la scienza) di progettare, organizzare e ottimizzare il contesto di un Large Language Model (LLM) per guidarlo verso risposte più affidabili, precise e utili. Perché l'ingegneria del contesto è importante Un LLM non "capisce" il mondo come gli esseri umani. Elabora modelli statistici in base agli input che riceve e ai dati di training.  Il contesto  è la combinazione di istruzioni, esempi, dati di supporto e rifer...
