Approximately 200 tonnes of cargo capacity will be offered each way per week, benefitting importers and exporters with increased capacity on the route.

By Our Correspondent

January 14, 2020: Qatar Airways Cargo has expanded its cargo network in Asia-Pacific with the launch of twice-weekly B777 freighter service to Osaka, Japan from January 14, 2020. It recently announced a major expansion in South America with four new freighter destinations Campinas (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), Bogotá (Colombia) launching on January 16, 2020, and Lima (Peru) to be launched soon.

The Osaka freighter will depart Doha on Tuesdays and Fridays each week, arriving in Osaka on the following day and returning via Hong Kong. Approximately 200 tonnes of cargo capacity will be offered each way per week, benefitting importers and exporters with increased capacity on the route.

Qatar Airways chief officer cargo Guillaume Halleux said, “2019 has been a great year for Qatar Airways Cargo and we are glad to start 2020 with the announcement of freighters to Osaka, a major financial centre in Japan. Japan is an important part of our network where we already operate daily passenger flights to both Haneda and Narita airports in the capital city, Tokyo. With direct flights to Osaka, our customers are offered dedicated freighter capacity for their cargo to and from Japan.”

The airline has a strong belly-hold presence in the Asia Pacific with 35 destinations served by the Qatar Airways passenger network and a freighter network of 10 destinations. The new destination Osaka will increase the carrier’s freighter network in the Asia Pacific to 11 destinations.

Qatar Airways Cargo currently offers more than 250 tonnes of belly-hold cargo capacity each way to Haneda and Narita airports in Tokyo per week. The new freighters to Osaka will boost cargo capacity to over 450 tonnes weekly to and from Japan. General cargo, hi-tech goods, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and perishables will form the majority of exports and imports on the route.

Qatar Airways Cargo has an extensive scheduled road transport network offering alternative routes to over 290 airports around the world. Overnight truck routes are available connecting Osaka with Haneda, Narita and Nagoya Chubu, six days a week.

Five more Boeing 777 freighters will join its fleet from April 2020 onwards making it one of the largest freighter operators globally.

Qatar Airways Cargo fleet includes two B747–8Fs, 21 B777Fs and 5 A330Fs.
Southwest’s Mechanics Aren’t Surprised By Big Drop In Safety Rankings
By: Amfa National
Tags: Aircraft, Aircraft Maintenance, Aviation, Airlines, Maintenance

Earlier this month, Southwest Airlines earned only three out of seven stars in safety rankings by AirlinesRankings.com, the lowest of any domestic airline. Even ultra low-cost carriers Spirit and Allegiant achieved higher safety rankings than Southwest with four stars each. Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines were the only U.S. carriers to make the world’s top 20 safest carriers list.

Southwest attributed its low safety ranking to the lack of an operational safety audit, a non-mandatory inspection done by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). However, Southwest hasn’t participated with that audit in years past, failing to explain the carrier’s decline in the safety rankings.

As Southwest’s Airline Maintenance Technicians, we are daily witnesses to the degrading standards, with which Southwest appears to place profits over safety. In fact, this is something we’ve been warning Southwest about for years.

We cast a vote of ‘No Confidence’ in Southwest VP of Maintenance Operations back in February 2018, writing:

“During VP Landon Nitschke’s tenure, Southwest has created a culture and workplace of hostility, retaliation, and unethical behavior and is degrading the safety culture throughout the Southwest maintenance system. Safety is paramount to us as AMTs. We cannot let his behavior continue.”

Thereafter, in a letter to Southwest CEO Gary Kelly a full year later in February 2019, we implored Southwest leadership to take action when none had been shown and a tragic incident had taken place:

“Gary, it is the frontline employees at Southwest that are the last line of defense and responsible for the safety of their co-workers and the flying public. We desperately need a Southwest leader to own and recognize that there is a problem, identify the root cause of the problem, and pursue effective solutions.”

In October last year, we had to call on Southwest to end their intimidation of their own employees using a federal safety hotline set up by the Federal Aviation Administration:

“The Company’s ongoing attempts to cripple union officers and highly experienced AMTs engaged in safety reporting has got to end. The continued strong-arming of AMTs is not healthy for this Company, its employees, or the safety of the flying public.”

As our warnings continue to fall on deaf ears and little seems to stir the company beyond skittishness from Wall Street, we hope the stark reality of this low ranking will awaken the Company’s focus on improvement of safety standards. But as time and experience has taught us, it takes more than one bad ranking to alter the profit-first mentality that has, unfortunately, characterized Southwest’s corporate governance in recent years.
Pyka: the Future of Electric Autonomous Airplanes

Tags: Agtech, Funding, Aviation, Electric Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles

Pyka’s plane is designed for aerial applications to spray crops safely, quickly and cost efficiently. Their novel aircraft, which they have scrappily delivered using relatively little prior funding has already flown thousands of paid miles and passed key regulatory approval steps. In the future, the same plane can be used for a myriad of applications across the transportation industry.

For the agriculture industry, it is a groundbreaking milestone in the management of farms. Pyka can spray 135 acres/hour at 2 gallons/acre water rates, carrying a 450 pound payload capacity, cruising at 90mph, and taking off and landing from a 150 foot space. Their technology leverages state of the art 3D aerial mapping and path planning to identify and avoid obstacles autonomously and with multiple layers of failover controls to ensure security. The plane includes many advanced systems including proprietary flight computers, battery pack designs, spray systems, and motors.

The founding team of Pyka exemplifies extraordinary collaboration and partnership. Pyka is lead by CEO, Michael Norcia, who previously designed aircraft at Zee Aerospace and Joby Aviation. Michael has that unique combination of ambition and humility that is required to create something truly world-changing. He has also surrounded himself with a phenomenal set of leaders including Nathan White, Kyle Moore and Chuma Ogunwole who bring software, finance and operations experience from Waymo, Google, Stanford, and Morgan Stanley.

It is an honor to support Michael and the team to transform one of the most important industries in the world that provides our global food supply.
Qatar Airways signs codeshare with Deutsche Bahn for 8 German destinations
By: Logistics Update Africa, Lua
Tags: Aviation, Travel, Logistics

Qatar Airways currently operates 35 weekly flights between Doha and Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin.

By Our Correspondent

January 14, 2020: Qatar Airways has announced a codeshare partnership with Deutsche Bahn (DB), offering Qatar Airways travellers seamless connection to and from eight key destinations in Germany.

The codeshare partnership with Deutsche Bahn, one of the largest railway operators in Europe, will provide Qatar Airways passengers with connections to eight key cities within DB network like Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Hannover, Leipzig, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Munich, and Hamburg via Qatar Airways’ Frankfurt gateway in Germany.

Qatar Airways currently operates 35 weekly flights between Doha and Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin. There will be two daily flights from Frankfurt and Munich and one daily flight from Berlin.

Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar Al Baker said, “This codeshare agreement between Qatar Airways and Deutsche Bahn further strengthens the ties between Germany and Qatar. We have witnessed significant growing demand between Germany to Qatar and beyond. Our new codeshare destinations not only meet that demand, but provide a service for our valued passengers in Doha, and from dozens of destinations globally to new, exciting places to explore in Germany.”

Berthold Huber, member of the management board for passenger transport of Deutsche Bahn said, “We are very pleased to further intensify our successful and long-standing Rail & Fly cooperation with Qatar Airways through our new codeshare agreement. The Qatar Airways and Deutsche Bahn codeshare offer our joint customers a seamless, easy and flexible journey to and from different German cities.”

Qatar Airways currently operates a modern fleet of more than 250 aircraft via its hub, Hamad International Airport (HIA), to more than 160 destinations worldwide. The world’s fastest-growing airline has added several exciting new destinations to its growing network in 2019, including Rabat, Morocco; Izmir, Turkey; Malta; Davao, Philippines; Lisbon, Portugal; Mogadishu, Somalia; Langkawi, Malaysia, and Gaborone, Botswana.

Qatar Airways Cargo has expanded its cargo network in Asia-Pacific with the launch of a twice-weekly B777 freighter service to Osaka, Japan from January 14, 2020. It recently announced a major expansion in South America with four new freighter destinations Campinas (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), Bogotá (Colombia) launching on January 16, 2020, and Lima (Peru) and Luanda (Angola) to be launched soon.
Air Senegal to begin Lyon flights from March 28
By: Logistics Update Africa, Lua
Tags: Aviation

By Our Correspondent

January 21, 2021: Beginning March 28, Air Senegal will commence flights from Dakar to Lyon operating three times weekly using an A321. Outbound flights to Lyon will be operated with a stopover in Marseille.

Flights to Marseille, when originally launched in December 2019, were operated with an A330–900neo with a stop in Barcelona. Flights to Marseille and Barcelona eventually operated on a standalone basis, which looks to eventually be the deal with Lyon flights once additional aircraft arrive in Air Senegal’s fleet and when demand picks up, as reported by AirlineGeeks.

Air Senegal also announced thrice-weekly flights to Italy’s Milan Malpensa starting Feb 17. These services will be operated with an A321 as well. Air Senegal’s Milan flights will fill a significant void left by Air Italy.

Air Senegal’s African network has significantly shrunk in size with Abuja, Accra, Bissau, Lagos, Niamey, and Ouagadougou no longer on the airline’s service list.

This means overall connectivity to and from Europe has reduced, which in turn has cut potential connecting demand.

The two-way connectivity is available through Dakar to Abidjan, Bamako, Conakry, Banjul, Nouakchott, and Ziggachoir

Air Senegal has a fleet of six aircraft, including the recently-delivered Airbus A321 that joined Air Senegal’s existing narrowbody fleet of two A319–100s and two ATR72–600s.

MVP Blockchain using a Serverless infrastructure
Tags: Blockchain, Firebase, Smart Contracts, Serverless, Ethereum

1. Firebase Project Setup

Visit console.firebase.google.com and create your first project. After creating it you should see some page just like that.

https://console.firebase.google.com/project/mvp-blockchain-serverless/overview

At this point you should also be able to see your project in Google Cloud Console, that is more advanced.

https://console.cloud.google.com/home/dashboard?project=mvp-blockchain-serverless&folder=&organizationId=

There are a lot of reasons for using Google Firebase. I’ll dig into this questions latter. For now just assume Firebase is one of the best serverless platforms without asking too much.

1.2 Notes about Pricing

Visit pricing and try to understand the business model for serverless projects on Google Firebase. If you’re familiarized with AWS, Azure or some other cloud provider it should be easy to understand how cheap is to use Firebase

1.5 Firebase via CLI

Once you created your project you’re able to start managing it via terminal.

#https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/get-started

After this point you’re ready to create and deploy your first functions

It is important to focus here in what is happening when you login. When you sign in with your Google Account and accept the permissions for manage your projects the browser returns a token to the CLI.

You could see this token by using:

firebase login:ci

<- Firebase CLI refereces at https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/
AVM Android Integration is live for Aion Network
By: Pocket Network
Tags: Blockchain, Avm, Smart Contracts, Aion Network, Pocket Network

The Pocket team loves celebrating with its peers when they reach their goals, and recently the Aion project has set foot beyond a very special milestone. Doing their part to diminish the gap between mainstream developers and decentralized applications, Aion has successfully forked and expanded upon the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), to create the AION Virtual Machine (AVM).

For developers, this means that they can create and deploy Java smart contracts to the Aion network. For Pocket to keep up with the times while enabling developers to connect any app with any blockchain on any device, we have integrated this feature in the Pocket Android to make it easier to interact with your Java contract.

Having previously received a grant from AION , Pocket developed mobile SDKs in realizing Monster Chase . Both projects lean deliberately toward facilitating the adoption of both users and developers alike. The AVM will introduce the uninitiated to DApp development and ease the transition into censorship-resistant networks into everyday mobile use.

We are happy to continue to build our partnership with the Aion network and team.

If you are curious about what the Aion team is working on lately, check out this latest post from TechCrunch talking about the AVM and their recent listing by Microsoft Azure.
Tronmill — more than just a platform!

Tags: Cryptocurrency, Tronmill, Smart Contracts, Crypto, Trx

I’ve been a member of Medium for years, but never written anything myself. I’ve learnt a lot, particularly in the crypto space, in which I’ve been involved for a similar length of time.

Today I decided I had to write something about a new staking platform I recently discovered. But let’s take a step back shall we?

20 February, 2021. I thought all my financial problems had been solved when I stumbled across the cryptocurrency Tron (Trx) and a platform which will remain nameless. There is no doubt, many of you reading this, will know of that platform and probably lost some money 😥 I feel your pain.

Skip forward a little over a month and something amazing happened, amongst all of the Trx staking platforms being released on the daily, something special was borne. Similar to the others but also vastly different. The owner decided he wanted to create a community. A community focused on the small investors; a community built on complete transparency, honesty and good faith.

He guaranteed people their money back should the platform come to an end. Many people were skeptical — a guarantee?! So far most platforms had folded and never, ever had anyone given refunds.

True to his word however, every single person who had not received at least their initial investment was refunded through an insurance policy (and even from the owner’s pocket in some cases).

Incredible! I watched as refund after refund was provided through the Telegram channel. I was in awe. I decided I was in it for the long game. This was an owner I wanted to work with — someone with trust and integrity.

A few tweaks on version one were made and soon Tronmill version 2 was launched. It is now building momentum steadily and I am excited to see where it goes.

So, I hear you asking, what exactly IS the platform?

😊Tronmill is a smart contract with an ROI up to 25% daily.

😊Minimum investment is 200 Trx and maximum investment is 50,000 Trx.

😊You choose a term of 14, 21 or 28 days.

😊Capitalisation is available, along with daily withdrawals AND an insurance policy.

😊There is an auto reinvest of 40% to help sustain the contract.

😊No backdoor and no exit scams — the owner is honest and looks out for his investors.

😊You can only withdraw once within 24 hours.

Please note that Klever wallet is recommended and this platform is high risk high reward. Deposit only what you can afford to lose.

If you wish to join this incredible platform and become a part of the community, copy and paste the link below on your Klever dapp browser:

PLIC2020: DApps Idea Contest. Get ready everyone! Plasm Network DApps…
By: Aleksandr Krupenkin
Tags: Blockchain, Hackathons, Smart Contracts, Dapps, Plasm Network

Get ready everyone! Plasm Network DApps contest is coming soon!

Photo by AbsolutVision on Unsplash

The Plasm Network DApps contest is an online event for DApp maintainers who are interested in using L2 solutions for developing applications.

The Plasm Network is continuing to grow, but as is with any other platforms, Plasm won’t be very useful without any users or the developers. Our aim is to create an ecosystem, and because of this reason, we want to be close with the community, both the developers, users, and people who are interested in being part of Plasm Network. So we have decided to hold an online contest for developers who have experience in Layer 2 DApps development or are interested in such applications and want to express their ideas. By doing this we hope that DApps developers can show what they are made of and future developers and users can have a grasp of what the Plasm Network is capable of. We also hope that this can provide us with insightful feedbacks regarding the Network’s development environment and future direction going into mainnet.

The contest will be in an online format, as it helps people from around the world to participate. Additionally, we do not have any strict requirements regarding the final project as this would allow developers to let their imaginations go wild and help create a diverse environment in terms of development, giving us feedback from different perspectives that will shape the community and the Network.

What is White Label NFT MarketPlace? Why is White Label NFT MarketPlace Valuable? Jeff Pearson Aug 25·2 min read

Hi everyone, welcome to the world of NFTs.

What exactly is an NFT?

NFTs are virtual tokens that represent ownership of something inherently distinct and scarce, whether it be a physical or digital item, such as artwork, a soundtrack, a collectible, an in-game item, or real estate. Unlike regular cryptocurrencies like bitcoin or fiat money like the U.S dollar, these special types of digital assets cannot be mutually exchanged for one another because each token has a specific value based on its unique traits and attributes.

Also unlike regular cryptocurrencies, NFTs cannot be purchased on centralized or decentralized crypto exchanges. Instead, they are listed and traded on online marketplaces that are specially built for NFTs.

Understanding about NFT Marketplaces

NFT marketplaces are platforms where NFTs can be stored, displayed, traded, and in some cases minted (created). These marketplaces are to NFTs what Amazon or eBay are to goods.

It’s worth noting that, for the most part, listing and creating NFTs on a marketplace platform incurs a blockchain network fee. The fee varies depending on which blockchain-based system you decide to use.

What is a White Label NFT MarketPlace?

White label NFT Marketplace is a ready-made software that is designed, developed, tested, and already available for deployment. With this software, one just needs to make the preferred customizations and can get started with their own NFT business. Such platforms are secure, fast in deployment, and cost-effective in comparison with built from scratch ones.

More Information: White Label NFT Marketplace

What gives White Label NFT MarketPlace a Value?

Wide range access to a variety of collectibles

Assets from various domains directly displayed for trade

Improved market performance by volume and value of Collectibles displayed

Effective Statistical Data of digital assets

Definite and delicate Transaction history and traffic analysis

Automated and Algorithmic Trade assistance

Championing the cause of collectibles

Final Thoughts:

I have delivered some basic information from NFT, NFT MarketPlace to White Label NFT MarketPlace. Hope this starting Guide to White Label NFT Marketplace will leave some ideas for founders of NFT Businesses. If you need help in building an NFT Marketplace then feel free to contact Maticz.
Umami — Ledger Hardware. We’re happy to announce our hardware…
By: Samuel Bourque
Tags: Smart Contracts, Tezos, Blockchain, Wallet App

The wait is over!

We’re happy to announce our hardware wallet integration — built especially for Ledger.

Top-rate Security

A wallet is only as good as its security.

Using a hardware wallet — such as a Ledger device — allows you both convenience and a high degree of security.

Cold Wallet

Put simply: a cold wallet is: (i) one where the private key is not accessible from the internet; or (ii) that the private is key is not on a device/machine that is connected to the internet.

Ledger accomplishes this by applying the private key’s signature on its pocket-sized device, and only outputs the signatures thereof — never the private key (or seed — from which private keys are derived) itself. This makes it much less vulnerable to security compromises from hackers.

This is why the Ledger is the best security available within the Umami wallet.

Backup

You may be thinking: “Great! I love the security of the Ledger… but what if I misplace it?”

This is where the backup recovery phrase comes in. During the setup of the Ledger device, you’ll be prompted to record your 24 word Recovery Phrase. Ledger provides convenient blank card for you to do this.

Guard this Recovery Phrase closely — this behaves as your personal back-door into your accounts. This serves as an emergency measure for you to regain access if you happen to misplace your hardware wallet… but a rogue could also use the same back-door… so — again — guard the Recovery Phrase closely.
THIRM Protocol v2: Changelog
By: Thirm Protocol
Tags: Protocol, Smart Contracts, Cryptocurrency

With the release of version 2, we have adapted for changes since v1 came out. V2 is written from scratch our protocol codebase is shifted from C/python to Javascript.

While THIRM protocol is a relatively young project significant advances have been made in the crypto sphere. With the release of THIRM Protocol V2 we have capitalized on these developments and we are pleased to announce that the THIRM Protocol codebase has been rewritten using more modern and efficient functions (largely a move from C/Python to Javascript).

The real-world benefits of this updating of our codebase are many, including savings on gas usage (180%), usage of all the latest dependencies, and all the features available with Solidity version 8. This makes THIRM Protocol a more attractive cross-chain solution for individual users and whole projects.

What’s new in V2:

Mapping Fees — Fees for mapping addresses have been removed — users can now map unlimited addresses for free, and the mapping contract has been made independent.

Protocol Inflation — THIRM Protocol now has a fixed inflation rate of 10.38 THIRM per day. This is managed by the mapping contract, which can now be interacted with by the public.

Smart Contracts — we have stripped down the smart contracts to their bare minimum requirements, ensuring maximum gas savings.

ENS support — THIRM Protocol integrates ENS (Ethereum Name Service) at its core. All deposit addresses are generated and managed by ENS resolvers, and the addition of ENS has further reduced our codebase.

Self Deployment — the THIRM Controller has been made independent from the core protocol smart contracts. Anyone can deploy Controller smart contracts, which can act as proxies on behalf of users when interacting with the protocol.

The Solver — the THIRM Protocol Solver is the node software that authorizes and verifies transactions on the THIRM Protocol. The Solver is now available as a docker image so individuals and projects can easily run their own THIRM Protocol nodes.

L2 improvements and redundancy checks

API — We’ve developed a small API to keep track of the protocol, Assets, and TVL.

No more Database — THIRM protocol does not use a database, and all data is reflected on the Ethereum blockchain. This ensures that all transactions are atomic and the protocol never gets stuck or deadlocked managing off-chain transactions.

Gas fees optimization — as explained above reduced code size and removal of fees from mapping smart contract, paired with ENS-based resolving, allows the THIRM Protocol to function using the bare minimum gas.

Solidity Compiler 8 — for V2 we have bumped the Solidity codebase to version 8, a huge update from V1 which used Solidity Compiler V6.

What is Blockchain?
Tags: Trustless, Blockchain, Private Key, Smart Contracts, Decentralization

A Blockchain is a shared distributed ledger or decentralized database that is used to securely maintain a continuously growing list of records, called blocks. Each block contains a timestamp and a link to a previous block.

The core principle of blockchain is to establish trust in trustless parties through decentralization and code. The below are features or techniques used to achieve the objective blockchain looks to attain.

Immutability - not mutable, unchangeable

- not mutable, unchangeable Distributed Ledger - ledger shared across multiple peers

- ledger shared across multiple peers Security - use of cryptography to enhance security

- use of cryptography to enhance security Group Consensus - peers all have to agree to establish a record of truth

Blockchain is used to transfer and permanently record any change of assets between two or more parties without intermediaries.

Assets can be interpreted as anything of value that demands accountability of ownership. There are two kinds of assets:

Introduction

Seeing the bigger picture is often hard and when it comes to such fast emerging and changing tech like DLT, especially with a universal product like Chainlink. A good overview on the whole space is required to wrap your head around what Chainlink might achieve in the future. I want to focus on one thing here, the banking side. It lacks awareness in my opinion.

Sergey Nazarov and partners have been saying for years that #Chainlink works with leading data providers and “big banks”. I don’t think he specifically only meant SWIFT here, even though SWIFT is very significant as well as its the main infrastructure for over 11,000 banks worldwide. But we will discuss SWIFT in another post in detail.

Not a single bank has been confirmed to work with Chainlink yet. Even though the Chainlink Marines are saying SWIFT is a partner, this has never been confirmed by SWIFT either. Banks and insurance companies are said to become the first to profit big from the new DLT. Why? Because it’s by far the best fitting use cases to be applied to DLT infrastructure. It’s exactly what DLT can easily enable: using blockchain and smart contracts as vehicle for very high stakes contracts AND having simple, multiple source-able data (price of gold, stocks or currencies from hundreds of different exchanges) put into them via Chainlink. A report, co-authored by Santander Bank says that DLT could reduce banks’ infrastructure costs by up to $US20 billion a year.

Sergey also repeatedly says that derivatives (and insurance) is the first major real-world use case enabled by smart contracts, other than tokenization and trading of tokens which makes up most of the network activity right now.

Also, Sergey's first interviews and talks about Chainlink had a lot more focus on the banking side and I think that was for a reason. So who are these banks and when will they get announced if that is the first actual ‘thing’?
The Advantage of Using Smart Contracts Technology in Barter Exchange

Benefits of smart contracts in barter exchange 🔥

The choice of smart contracts in modern business is obvious. Digitalization provides many conveniences and eliminates most of the problems that arise with conventional contracts.

A smart contract is a computer program that fulfills agreements signed between two or more parties, and, as a result of the fulfillment of certain conditions, certain actions take place. That is, the smart contract automatically fulfills the previously programmed conditions.

Where are the terms of the smart contract registered?

Conditions are written in the code of a program or platform that is created to solve a specific problem. The widest opportunities for launching smart contracts today is the Ethereum blockchain — a computer environment for the execution of smart contracts.

Barter and smart contracts

Combining barter and smart contracts is a very convenient and reasonable solution, since the demand and scalability of barter is increasing. The use of digital blockchain technologies makes barter transactions more convenient and reliable. Now, to carry out barter, you do not need the obligatory personal presence of a notary when concluding an agreement.

What is the benefit of using digital jurisprudence in Barter Smartplace?

The transfer of standard barter transactions to the blockchain greatly simplified their implementation and provided guaranteed protection against falsification.

All records of completed smart contract transactions are stored in the blockchain registry, which means that they cannot be changed or falsified.

The protection provided by cryptographic methods and the principles of decentralization provide storage of records in such a way that every change is visible to all participants in the system.

By bartering, traders insure themselves against a fraudulent exchange transaction. The barter trade protocol is designed so that the seller is guaranteed to receive payment, and the buyer is confident that he will receive the product or service.

In addition to exchange or sale and purchase transactions, Barter Smartplace applies smart contracts in insurance.

Using smart contracts to automate standard and similar tasks allows you to reduce the cost of services of legal, banking and other organizations, which are usually required when signing classic contracts and making mutual settlements. The move to smart contracts significantly reduces transaction and administration costs.

Also, smart contracts have a high degree of reliability, since they work on blockchain technology and the clearly established conditions of smart documents can no longer be interpreted in two ways, because they are written in the system in a programming language.

Barter Smartplace will help you get started navigating decentralized finance and provide all the convenience and benefits of barter with a legal smart contract: https://barter.company/ !

Action Required: Migration from erc-20 to BitSong Mainnet has started!
Tags: Blockchain, Mainnet, Smart Contracts, Cosmos Network, Music

Hi there everybody, we are here today to announce as we promised, the opening of the Smart Contract that allows you to swap btsg tokens from erc-20 to bech32 (BitSong Mainnet) is Live and ready to be used!

Therefore, follow the steps below to migrate your tokens via the Account Manager.

1. Log in to the Account Manager

2. If your account is not verified yet, please perform KYC verification. Wait for your KYC to be evaluated (it may take up to 48 hours for the outcome). Once enabled you can proceed.

3. Generate your BitSong wallet, read the alert very well and if you agree with the contents, accept and follow the process. Don’t forget to keep your Mnemonic phrase in a safe and secret place, as it is currently the only way to access your wallet (Ledger will be implemented later).

4. Once you have completed the first 3 steps, migration will automatically be enabled on your account, so click on the “Start Migration” button.

5. Carefully read the alert that shows up and if you agree with the content, accept and connect via metamask the wallet where you keep the btsg erc-20. The synchronization fee is required, after which the wallet will be connected.

6. In the window that is generated, enter the amount in btsg that you want to bring to BitSong Mainnet. Remember that this action is irreversible and that for an indefinite period of time, it will not be possible to go back to erc-20. Once you have entered the amount, click on “migrate” and follow the process with metamask, confirming the transaction. Then wait for the transaction confirmation times.

7. Once the transaction is confirmed, you will receive both, a confirmation email and an alert in the account manager.

8. By clicking on the icon with your name at the top right and selecting “Genesis”, you will be able to see in real time your address and the amount of tokens that you have already migrated to BitSong Mainnet.

Remember that the Smart Contract will be closed on March 19th and will remain closed until further notice.

We strongly recommend you to interact with the smart contract only using our Account Manager and not directly with it, as an incorrect operation could generate PERMANENT loss of your btsg, while BitSong does not take responsibility for such events.

That said, we are very close to the launch of Mainnet 1.0 and we are more excited than ever to share this moment with those who have supported us from the beginning and continue to support us relentlessly.

Stay tuned as various updates will be published in the days coming via our communication channels.

Well if we got your attention let us tell you a bit more about the project. It is an MLM Smart Contract with a very interesting Roadmap including an Gaming DApp, AI Trading Bot, Exchange and a Social Media website.

They offer 3 Investment Plans:

Plan A: 5050 TRX — gives you 5760 ECS Tokens + 5 Level Referrals + 10% weekly dividends straight to your tron wallet.

Plan B: 10050 TRX — gives you 11 520 ECS Tokens + 10 Level Referrals + 10% weekly dividends straight to your tron wallet.

Plan C: 20050 TRX + — gives you 23 040 ECS Tokens + 15 Level Referrals + + 10% weekly dividends straight to your tron wallet.

Furthermore every 7 days a token reduction happens — meaning you get less ECS for your investment. This will help the token economy create scarcity and make the price of ECS higher when listen on an exchange.

So the sum it up you not only receive 10% weekly dividends straight to your wallet every Monday at 6PM UTC, but also become shareholder in EcoSmart and will receive payments from all their future projects. Seems promising? There is one more thing to sweaten the deal — you earn commission for every person that joins under you — so invite 5 friends and you will ROI in no time.
