我们最近探索了区块链是如何被用作一股有益的力量,并对业内的从业人员进行了几次采访。然而,区块链领域瞬息万变,不断充斥着新项目,这些新项目可能会让共享经济越来越为所有人所接受。以下是一些在这个领域需要注意的其他项目:
We have recently explored how block chains can be used as a useful force, and have conducted several interviews with practitioners in the industry. However, the area of block chains is rapidly changing, with new projects that are likely to make the shared economy increasingly acceptable to all. The following are some of the other projects that require attention in this area:
1 . Helbiz
Helbiz是一家初创企业,它创建了一个市场,让人们不仅可以共享汽车,还可以共享任何交通工具——自行车、船只和其他交通工具。通过硬件和软件的双重使用,这个想法是能够将整个车辆变成物联网(设备,它可以通过智能手机解锁,通过GPS跟踪,并监测问题。Helbiz应用程序将允许用户解锁汽车,并以加密货币支付使用汽车的费用。虽然具有创新性,但在共享移动空间中也有其他组织开发了类似的功能,包括HireGo和Xain。
Helbiz is a start-up enterprise that creates a market where people can share not only cars, but also any means of transport — bicycles, ships and other vehicles. The idea, through the dual use of hardware and software, is to turn an entire vehicle into a network of things (equipment, which can be unlocked through smartphones, tracked through GPS, and monitored. The Helbiz application will allow users to unlock cars and pay for their use in encrypted currency. While innovative, other organizations have developed similar functions in shared mobile spaces, including HireGo and Xain.
2.OpenBazaar
虽然还有其他一些分散的市场使用区块链技术,但OpenBazaar是第一个使用这种技术的市场,而且还在不断发展壮大。用户可以支付超过50种加密货币的商品。由于没有公司或实体经营,所以买卖的东西没有收费或限制。虽然存在显著的技术差异,但对于普通用户来说,像Swarm City、Public Market和Blockmarket等后起之秀将提供具有不同功能的类似服务。
Although there are other fragmented markets where block chain technology is used, OpenBazaar is the first market to use it and is growing. Users can pay for more than 50 encrypted currencies.
3 . Sarafu-Credit
作为一个国家,肯尼亚一直是世界上最热衷于移动货币和移动支付的国家之一,三分之二的人口每天都在使用移动货币。因此,毫不奇怪的是,它也是第一批允许使用区块链社区货币的国家之一,这些货币被商人使用,否则他们可能会因为资金紧张而无法相互交易。在过去的几年里,草根经济组织一直在肯尼亚和南非经营多种社区货币,以增加各种社区的买卖能力。最近,肯尼亚供应商与区块链创业公司Bancor合作,开始接受这些社区货币的加密货币版本,他们已经接受了纸质形式的加密货币。
Kenya, as a country, has been one of the world’s most keen to move money and move payments, with two-thirds of the population using mobile money every day. So it is not surprising that it was also one of the first countries to allow the use of block-chain community currencies, which are used by traders who might otherwise not be able to trade with each other because of financial constraints.
4 . Chamapesa
另一个基于肯尼亚的项目是Chamapesa,该项目利用了肯尼亚人在移动银行领域的高使用率,该项目使用区块链技术为智能手机的借贷圈子提供便利。组织指出,这并不是试图改变任何核心行为,而是利用区块链来促进这种类型的社区金融计划,该项目的宗旨是“不会改变Chamas的行为,只是不使用纸质书,而是使用智能手机。”
Another Kenya-based project is Chamapesa, which takes advantage of the high usage of Kenyans in mobile banking, using block chain technology to facilitate smartphone lending circles. The organization notes that this is not an attempt to change any core behavior, but rather to use block chains to promote this type of community finance scheme, which aims to “do nothing to change the behaviour of Chamas, simply not to use paper books, but to use smart phones.”
5 . Holochain
虽然Holochain的支持者自豪地坚持它不是区块链的事实,因为外行有很多相似的用例。一个主要的区别是,它不需要使用像比特币和Ethereum这样的“工作证明”,但仍有可能在Holochain上运行与比特币完全一样的区块链。不同于只有一个关于哪些数据是有效的全球协议(就像一个普通的区块链),个人用户可以直接创建他们自己的有效数据和个人历史相互交织的总账。
While Holochain’s supporters are proud to insist that it is not a block chain, because there are many similar examples for amateurs. One major difference is that it does not need to use a “certificate of work” like Bitcoin and Etheum, but it is still possible to run a block chain on Holochain exactly the same as Bitcoin. Unlike a single global agreement (like a normal block chain), individual users can directly create their own aggregates of valid data and personal history that are interwoven.
此外,每当我们在互联网上访问一个网站时,我们实际上是在访问由第三方操作的服务器上——通常是在一个我们并不关心的地方,由一家独立的私人公司拥有。Holochain提供了一种类似区块链的方法和奖励结构,可以在用户之间存储访问数据和应用程序,而不必依赖这些第三方。这样就可以在用户之间创建和运行任何类型的应用程序,从而实现真正的点对点操作。
Moreover, whenever we visit a website on the Internet at , we are actually accessing a server operated by a third party — usually in a place we don't care about — owned by an independent private company. Holochain offers a method and incentive structure similar to a block chain that allows data and applications to be stored between users without relying on third parties. This allows for the creation and operation of any type of application between users, thus achieving a real point-to-point operation.
6. Right Mesh
世界上只有大约一半的人口有正常的互联网接入,这意味着数十亿人仍然没有能力利用基于网络的对等技术。Right Mesh正在努力改变这种状况,它允许人们创建自己的网络,并使用网状网络对internet进行有限的访问。
Only about half of the world’s population has normal Internet access, which means that billions of people still do not have the capacity to use web-based peer-to-peer technologies. Right Mesh is working to change the situation, allowing people to create their own networks and to use web-based networks for limited access to the Internet.
在网状网络中,信息在手机、电脑和其他设备(如睡莲上的青蛙)之间跳跃,直到到达目的地。它通过使用这些设备的能力,直接通过蓝牙或Wifi连接彼此,而不需要连接到互联网本身。通过对信息进行加密——无论是信息、图像还是支付——网络都可以确保只有所需的接收者才能理解和使用该消息,这打开了在没有互联网的情况下可以在点对点设备上运行的大量网格应用程序。其他网状网和网状网软件已经存在,但通过使用区块链,该网络将允许用户为向对等网提供内容而得到报酬,并作为网络本身的基础设施而存在,从而抵消了这样做的硬件和电池成本。
In a network, information jumps between mobile phones, computers and other devices (e.g. frogs on sleeping Lotuss) until it reaches its destination. It connects to each other directly through Bluetooth or Wifi, without the need to connect to the Internet itself, through the ability to use these devices. By encrypting information — whether information, images or payments — the network ensures that only the required recipients understand and use the information, which opens up a large number of grid applications that can operate on point-to-point devices without the Internet. Other network and network software already exists, but by using block chains, the network will allow users to be remunerated for providing content to the peer network and to exist as an infrastructure of the network itself, thereby offsetting the hardware and battery costs of doing so.
7.Beenest
就像AirBnB一样,该平台将主机和潜在客户连接起来,并利用区块链技术来降低成本。如果使用自己的加密货币——Bee Token——平台在预订和列出房产时不收取任何费用或佣金,并且在使用其他货币或加密货币时收取的费用低于AirBnb。
Like AirBnB, the platform connects the mainframe to potential customers and uses block chain technology to reduce costs. If the platform uses its own encrypted currency, Bee Token, it does not charge any fees or commissions when booking and listing properties, and charges less than AirBnb when using other or encrypted currencies.
8. Possible
Possible是一个设在荷兰的项目,旨在通过鼓励人们从事通常不赚钱的工作来增加社会资本,但这对健康的社会是至关重要的。有可能是一个时间银行,这意味着个人能够以小时而不是其他货币单位来提供和使用对方的服务。时间银行已经存在了一个多世纪,但它们经常是自愿运行的,并且使用一个集中管理的数据库来管理它们有时会证明是困难的事物。通过使用区块链技术和分散化来更新数据库,像“Possible”这样的项目可以使操作时间银行更容易,而不需要依赖志愿者。
Possible is a Dutch-based project that aims to increase social capital by encouraging people to work in usually unprofitable jobs, but this is essential for a healthy society. It may be a time bank, which means that individuals can provide and use each other's services in hours rather than in other monetary units. Time banks have existed for more than a century, but they often operate voluntarily, using a centralized database to manage things that sometimes prove difficult. By using block-chain technology and decentralization, projects such as “Possible” can make it easier for time banks to operate without relying on volunteers.
9.ShareRing
ShareRing正在开发一款应用,它使用区块链技术,用户可以找到并搜索附近的服务,并且可以相互共享任何东西。ShareRing就像一个真正的分布式对象库——无论是物理的还是数字的——通过使人们能够轻松和公平地共享它们,它可以最大限度地利用物理对象。这个想法是要有一个真正的全球网络,这样ShareRing应用程序就可以用来查找类似的服务并为其付费,无论这个人在世界的任何地方都是如此。这款应用将使用自己的两个加密货币:一个允许商家访问区块链,另一个作为支付平台上服务的货币。
ShereRing is developing an application that uses block chain technology, where users can find and search nearby services, and can share everything with each other. ShereRing is like a real distributed collection of objects — both physical and digital — that can maximize the use of physical objects by enabling people to share them easily and equitably. The idea is to have a real global network, so that the ShareRing application can be used to find and pay for similar services, anywhere in the world. The application will use two of its own encrypted currencies: one that allows businesses to access the block chain and the other that serves as a payment platform.
10.Digital Town
亚马逊(Amazon)、优步(Uber)和AirBnB等平台提供有用的服务,但通过向这些公司及其股东支付高额费用,这些平台不断从创造财富的人身上榨取资金。Digital Town (Shareable的赞助商之一)的目标是通过将特定地理位置的用户与他们需要的信息、资源和服务联系起来,改变这种商业模式,但与其收取高昂的费用,还不如让用户与他们居住的社区共同拥有平台特定区域的部分。除了大幅削减寄给外部公司和个人的费用外,这个Digital Town平台的所有者是使用它的居民。
Platforms such as Amazon (Amazon), Uber, and AirBnB provide useful services, but by paying high fees to these companies and their shareholders, these platforms continue to extract money from wealth-producing people. Digital Town (one of the sponsors of Shareable) aims to change this business model by linking users in a given geographical location to the information, resources and services they need, but instead of charging high fees, it is better for users to share with the communities in which they live the parts of a particular area of the platform. In addition to significantly cutting the costs to external companies and individuals, the owner of this Digital Town platform is the user of the platform.
Digital Town使用了区块链技术,用户可以在平台上交易整个城市的货币和所有权。注册后,用户将获得并能够交易“CityShares”,这让用户在通过其所在城市的平台获得的收益以及如何使用上拥有一定比例的所有权。用户还可以使用“citytoken”作为代币或奖励点,绑定到特定的城市地点。
Digital Town uses block chain technology that allows users to trade money and ownership of the entire city on a platform. After registering, the user will acquire and be able to trade “CityShares”, which gives the user a percentage of ownership of the benefits and how to use them through the platform in the city in which it operates.
