PROJECT MILKBOX :Find Your Loved Ones

find you loved ones.png

INTRODUCTION

Have you ever heard of cases where someone goes missing without a trace?

Unfortunately, people go missing every single year, month, week, day, hour and at some point minute.
We see and hear cases of reported lost people on billboards, posters, newspapers, social media and any other news report channels(TV or Radio) from time to time.
Just because it has never happened to me and you , does not mean we are so special .
Anybody anywhere in the world is capable of falling victim. It might either be you who goes missing or any of your close friends, neighbors, family member or loved one.
Evil never sleeps!! Terrorists, carjackers and kidnappers are everywhere living among us. They are always here or there trying to fulfill there bad deeds. These are facts we can't deny or run away from.

Meaning of missing person

The following is the definition of missing person according to Wikipedia.
A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as his or her location and fate are not known.
I pretty much think it's a clear, straight forward easy to understand definition and therefore i don't have to explain the meaning of missing person over again.

Did you know that 93% of the people who get lost and are reported to the relevant authorities never return home?

This is probably due to lack of proper organization within rescue teams doing the searches or inability to cover a wide geographical area during rescue searches.
According to global statistics, 607 people go missing every single day, without a trace. Over a year, this number totals 221,644 missing individuals. This means that approximately 4,432,880 have gone missing in the past 20 years.
Apart from people missing, many pets are also reported missing.
Statistics suggest that 4 million dogs in the United States are lost each year.

OTHER FACTS ABOUT MISSING PERSONS

Below are other interesting facts about missing persons I came across while doing my research. They are more than 40 but I only picked 6 general facts.
In most jurisdictions, missing persons cases receive low priority. Authorities are already working homicides, robberies, rapes, assaults, traffic issues, and crime prevention.
Minorities, those who suffer from mental disorders, and substance abusers who go missing often receive little attention from authorities and little sympathy from the press or public.
It is estimated that nearly 800,000 children will be reported lost each year in the U.S; 40,000 children go missing each year in Brazil; 50,500 in Canada; 39,000 in France; 100,000 in Germany; and 45,000 in Mexico. An estimated 230,000 children go missing in the U.K. each year, or one child every 5 minutes.
In most of the developing world—including Africa, Asia, and Latin America—no one is counting missing children. Additionally, there are no specific laws on missing children, no established protocol, and no central missing child registries.
When a child goes missing, the first 3 hours are the most crucial in finding the child safely. Approximately 76.2% of abducted children who are murdered are dead within three hours of the abduction.
It can take over 2 hours to get information about a missing child from a panicked parent.
You can view the rest of the facts about missing persons here

WHAT IS PROJECT MILKBOX

Project Milkbox is a brilliant blockchain project by @officialfuzzy that will help anyone around the world trace and find their loved ones (both people and pets). It will also help take down the criminals and kidnappers involved in abducting people and will be the first project on the blockchain that deals with the search for missing persons and pets.
(oh my gifts!).png
It consists of a chain called Milk and the Milkbox community and is based on the search and rescue of missing people and pets in a global way without the restrictions and difficulties of the current systems.
It will be a totally intuitive and informative system with a reward pool and bounties imposed by the person who needs to find someone. The rewards will be paid using Milk tokens.
It will combine an organized search system which will also allow coverage of wide geographical areas during rescue searches.
The only thing needed to find a lost person or pet will be an internet connection.
That is how reliable, efficient and useful this project will be.
It will totally make it easy for individuals to find their lost loved ones and pets

CONCLUSION

I personally think it is a very useful legendary project and it will help solve the many cases of missing persons and pets all around the world.

PROJECT MILKBOX

Untitled-design (8).png


Cases and incidences of people and pets who go missing at some point without a trace are on the rise.
Each and every single day we see these reports on television networks, magazines, and the internet.
Families are often left heartbroken and hopeless not knowing how to find their lost loved ones.
It is really sad having to look for a lost loved one without knowing where to start looking for them, how far to look for them and how to look for them.
It is also so unfortunate that most of the authorities required to help in search and rescue of lost persons take too much time to handle these cases and become reluctant at times.

Don't lose hope

CURRENCY OF THE INTERNET- COTI










Introduction
The blockchain revolution keeps getting bigger and huge each second, minute, hour and day. It never stops growing and expanding. Just when you think you have seen enough amazing blockchain projects, another great one appears.

I am beginning to think this is just the beginning of a very massive revolution.

There are lots and lots of blockchain projects still surfacing.
From new Etherium network projects, NEO projects, Steem Smart Media Tokens projects to other totally new blockchain networks, things in the blockchain universe seem to be getting more and more interesting.
Normally, when doing my research on blockchain projects, I always have more than 20 tabs each with a different blockchain project opened on my computer.
Perhaps i exaggerated. Twenty tabs seem to be a lot of tab. But i sure open a number of tabs. Let us approximate it to more than 10 tabs.
I do a rough reading about the project as I watch the introductory videos of the projects one after the other. As I read roughly and watch the videos, I eliminate the ones that I think are not that useful/important to me and bookmark the projects that I think are huge and promising.
By huge and promising I mean a project that actually brings something very new, unique and different on the blockchain table.

COTI

Well, doing my normal cryptocurrency and initial coin offering research, I happened to come across COTI.
COTI is an abbreviation which when written in full is Currency Of The Internet.
It wasn’t actually my first time to bump into this awesome blockchain project. I had already seen a number of posts and advertisements about COTI on different social media platforms.




What is COTI

COTI is a digital ecosystem and a digital currency that is built for payments. It is basically the fastest, easiest, most cost-effective and reliable way to pay.
The COTI payment network is designed to take over where traditional payment systems left off, namely with instantaneous transfers, low-to-zero fees, and cost-effective buyer-seller protections.
This will be a major advantage for consumers and merchants alike as compared to traditional banking, credit cards, and P2P platforms as stated by COTI.

COTI’s tech and ecosystem

I am no technical geek or nerd when it comes to the blockchain technology(at least not yet) but according to what I read on the COTI website, the COTI ecosystem is designed using innovative distributed ledger technology with the goal of providing a superior payment solution that outpaces current legacy card networks and cryptocurrency technologies. The COTI base protocol, native currency, Mediation System and Trust Scoring Engine have been conceptualized to produce a comprehensive payment solution for merchants and consumers that is both decentralized and scalable.

COTI’s Vision

The main vision that COTI has is to build a decentralized and scalable payment network to facilitate efficient global commerce.
According to COTI, this will set the standard for a next-generation payment solution that is trust-driven, instant, cost-effective and supportive of a multi-currency wallet.
By reconciling cutting-edge distributed ledger technologies with the best of traditional payment solutions, COTI will spearhead the mass adoption of digital currencies in the mobile era.

COTI token sale

The Currency Of The Internet network is powered by digital tokens known as COTI tokens.
During the COTI token sale, COTI tokens will be available for purchase using
  • Card
  • Bank wire
  • Bitcoin
  • Ethereum







COTI tokens purchased will be delivered to the token buyers at the end of the token sale.
On the main date of the commencement of the COTI Initial Coin Offering or whether the token sale is already live, the following is what I was able to find on the COTI website:
The token sale starts soon
Tokens are currently being sold to a small group of strategic advisors. This phase of the sale is nearly complete. When this phase ends, COTI will release details of the next phase — the first opportunity for members of the public to obtain COTI tokens.








That is all I know about the COTI token sale for now.

Who should join COTI?

Currency Of The Internet is mainly meant for three types of individuals namely :
  • Merchants
  • Mediators
  • Consumers

Merchants

COTI has developed a suite of merchant tools and services that will make COTI a compelling proposition for merchants. Merchants that use COTI’s services will be able to enjoy a better bottom line as they’ll be equipped to process more transactions and pay fewer fees.

Mediators

To be able to provide buyers and sellers with protections against errors, fraud and counterparty abuse, COTI’s Mediation System will help resolve disputes within the COTI network.
You can currently sign up to become a COTI mediator on the official COTI website.
As a COTI mediator, you will be paid in COTI tokens for successfully resolving buyer-seller disputes.
In the event of effectively contributing to a mediated outcome, COTI mediators will also be incentivized with higher Trust Scores.
To be approved as a COTI mediator, you must:
  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Have a clean criminal background with no previous convictions
  • Consent to the COTI privacy policy
  • Submit identity verification documents
  • Undergo an online assessment to determine that you have the aptitude to perform the mediation tasks at a high standard.
  • Be a member of the COTI network (e.g., COTI wallet holder or COTI token holder)
  • Demonstrate basic English language proficiency.
I personally applied to become a mediator at COTI and I’m only waiting to be approved.
If you are interested, you can also head over to the COTI website and sign up to become a COTI mediator.

Consumers

COTI is the fastest and most user-friendly network built for payments. COTI will enable consumers to transact globally using a secure, instant, low-to-zero fee system backed by a robust Trust Scoring Engine and decentralized buyer-seller protections!
If you sign up on COTI today as a Consumer you will reserve your COTI wallet and receive 100 COTI COINS for FREE.



Conclusion

From my own personal research on the COTI project, Currency Of The Internet is a promising blockchain project. I was personally impressed by what this blockchain company is bringing on the table. COTI also has a great solid team of developers and advisors with a good knowledge of the blockchain technology and e-commerce.
There are lots of businesses currently being established on the internet. Both consumers and merchant need a payment solution that is fast, convenient, reliable secure, easy to use and applies low-zero fees during transactions.
A payment system that can be used anywhere across the globe.

In this era of smart technology combined with blockchain technology, Currency Of The Internet (COTI) is certainly the right answer.

HOW TO USE BEYONDBIT AND WHALESHARES : With ScreenShots

SUMMON WHALE UPVOTES.png

Disclaimer 
This post specifically applies to steemit
I am pretty sure a lot of Steemians have heard one or two things about Whaleshares and Beyondbit.
If you haven't heard of any of these tokens, then I guess you haven't lived my friend.
Haha !! Just kidding!! You have lived.
For anyone who has no idea what beyondbit and whaleshares are, this is your chance to find out and it is also an opportunity for you to learn how to use them.

What are whaleshares

Whaleshares are community tokens that started in the beyond bitcoin community discussions used for summoning whale upvotes.

What are beyondbit

Beyondbit are also community tokens which are more powerful compared to whaleshares used to summon a whale to upvote a specific post.
They were also created as a result of the beyond bitcoin community discussions.
Beyondbit and whaleshares are useful tools to help planktons, minnows and anybody with low Steempower. They were both founded by @officialfuzzy .
Apart from being used on Steemit posts, they can also be used to summon whales to upvote Golos and EOS Talk posts
.
I recently managed to use a few of my beyondbit and whaleshares i had to summon whale upvotes.
I would like to show you how to use your whaleshares or beyondbits step by step.
This is mainly meant for those new to beyondbit and whaleshares.
In this post, I am going to give steps using one of the tokens (whaleshares) since the procedure is similar for both of them

How to use whaleshares

Step 1

Go to the post that you want to upvote and copy the post URL .
Go to the official whaleshares website as shown below.
Whaleshares Step 1.png

Step 2

Navigate and paste your post URL where it is written "ENTER URL" and click on "GO".
Wait for a few seconds for it to finish loading.
Doesn't take long to load.
Whaleshares  Step 2.png

Step 3

Scroll down on to the next step and copy the memo that is inside the text box.
You will use this memo while sending the token that you want to use(in this case whaleshares) to your whale sponsor.
.
Whaleshares  Step 3.png

Step 4

Head over to your Openledger or Bitshares account.
As for me,i use Openledger and the screen-grab below is from my openledger account.
Click on transfer and fill in the appropriate details which are mainly:
  1. The account name of the sponsor whale you are sending the whaleshares to.
  2. The right amount of whaleshares you want to use or send.
  3. The memo you copied from the official whaleshares website.
  4. Choose the token from which the transaction fee should be charged.
After filling in the correct details, press send.
Make sure to always crosscheck before clicking send.
Whaleshare Step 4.png

Step 5

A dialogue box will appear requesting you to confirm the transaction.
Click on "Confirm" and wait for the transaction to go through..
Whaleshares step4.png
As soon as the transfer finishes, you will receive a notification telling you that your transaction has successfully gone through.
If you receive an error message, retry until it goes through.
You can also head over to your openledger account history section to confirm if the transfer was successful.
Below is a screen-grab of my account history.
Whaleshares last.png
If you go to the particular post that you summoned a whale to vote on, you will find the post value has increased.
ABRA..CADABRA!! That is what i call magic.
You just learned how to use whaleshares/beyondbit. Wasn't that hard right?

How to find whaleshares and beyondbit

Unlike other tokens, whaleshares and beyondbit cannot be bought from exchanges.
I know you are wondering and curious to find out how they are obtained then if they can't be bought. .
Relax!!Don't you worry!! That is exactly where we are headed.
Well if you want to have your hands on whaleshares and beyondbit, all you need to do is join the Bitshares discord and the whaleshares discord.
You also need to actively participate in the community contests and win.
That is exactly how i managed to get some whaleshares and beyondbit.
