With more and more areas involved in blockchain technology, almost touched every corner of our daily life, I think it's time for us to know something about it. Today I’d like to introduce two blockchain technologies that can give us a different visual and auditory experience.
1. Lampix
Lampix (pix tokens), a surface technology processing company based in the United States, primarily builds a blockchain-based "image mining" network for augmented reality or any other computer vision system. The coin pix of the lampix project can be mainly used to purchase data in image recognition big data, it can also be obtained by acquiring images and identifying images. In addition, users of lampix, can also be used to purchase and use applications and cloud computing services. To put it simply, you can think Lampix as a high-tech smart desk lamp. We can see from the above lampix ico it atually looks like a normal table lamp. Its main function is to achieve human-computer interaction and remote collaboration.
You may be puzzled that this does not seem to have anything to do with blockchain technology, but in fact, human-computer interaction requires data transfer, and Lampix ICO project is to solve the database problem. The traditional database is controlled by major companies. Lifeline is being held by others. The Lampix team wanted a world where no one company (including Lampix) could control who could access data and what data it should contain. So the Lampix project based on the blockchain came into being.
In general, Lampix is a very creative and good product. Since the establishment of Lampix in 2015, it has won paid customers like Bloomberg, PricewaterhouseCoopers, large retail chains, and about 200 famous companies asking about lampix. Lampix is one of 2% of companies accepted by the Highway 1 Accelerator program in San Francisco in fall 2016. Lampix also won the title of the best augmented reality and virtual reality company at the March 2017 SXSW festival, which is the largest of its kind in the world. Of course, Lampix also has some disadvantages. For example, Lampix relies on projection to achieve interactive effects. It is limited by venues and environments. For example, if the ambient light is too bright, the projection surface is too shiny, or the projection surface is made of glass, Lampix cannot work very well.
As for Lampix's investment value, it depends on how high its database value is, how big the market demand is, and how high the pix's token is! So if you want to invest Lampix, you must analyze its data value first.
2.BlockPool
BlockPool (it’s token is bpl) is a platform designed to provide B2B blockchain-based solutions for multiple types of businesses in various industries. To achieve this goal, BlockPool will deploy global-scale business plans using plug-ins, blockchain sidechains, and other SaaS modular solutions. The BlockPool team plans to reduce data-driven business costs while improving security and efficiency.
Why we say the blokchain technology is related to audio, which comes from the cooperation between BlockPool and the famous Icelandic female singer Bjork. In November last year, Bjork collaborated with UK blockchain startup Blockpool on the technical aspects of the release of her 11th album "Utopia", allowing fans to purchase albums through digital currency payment. The accepted digital currency is bitcoin,audiocoin, litecoin and dash. In addition, those fans who make reservations on the official website can also get an additional 100 audiocoins (a digital currency specifically for the music industry), which can then be converted into other digital currencies or converted into legal currencies.
So strictly speaking, BlockPool is not a blockchain technology directly related to audio or music. It just happened to leave traces in this music industry. The real blockchain technology directly related to music or audio is the opus we introduced yesterday. While the BlockPool, as we mentioned at the beginning, provides solutions based on B2B blockchain for various industries, so BlockPool has also developed in other industries.For example, BlockPool worked with Buzzbike last year, a bicycle project in London, to launch the UK's first blockchain interactive rewards program. This cooperation, Buzzbike and Blockpool, uses blockchain technology to demonstrate how to use digital currency for brand interaction and to help brands get advertising and interaction.
As for the price trend and investment value of BlockPool, we can see from the above bpl chart that the price of Blockpool to USD had been erratic ever since its release. The price reached the historical high at 0.962636 USD on Jan 11, 2018, but after that, it suffered a significant slump while fluctuating, and the current bpl price has not shown signs of recovery, so it must be prudent to invest.
