Since it’s genesis block back in June 2017, Credits (CRDS) has kept to the same rewards structure which was planned over a 36 year period allowing for a total of 96 million CRDS to be issued. This all changes in around 8 days at block 375,000. The initial plan was to have 11 CRDS for each block, with 1 masternode reward per block, and 10 PoW (CPU only mining) rewards per block and gradually change this over time as follows; After holding a open poll in their Discord earlier this year, the Credits’ Community voted on a new rewards structure

Comparison of Credits masternodes and Dash masternodes

Dash is quite possibly the best known cryptocurrency that includes masternodes. Whereas traditional cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin only provide proof of work (PoW) rewards from mining the coins, The next generation of coins support proof of stake (PoS) as well as PoW. The use of masternodes benefits the entire coin network as it increases the overall processing power and availability of the blockchain on the Internet. Users who maintain an active masternode are given a PoS reward on a scheduled basis, that is that they are rewarded an amount when a block is solved through PoW mining of the coin.

Dream Targeting – You Buy What You Dream in Your Sleep

There are innovations and then there’s Dream Targeting – a digital technology that moves beyond the established understanding of digital media, to help brands better target their customers, and to increase sales. How did this innovation come about? We’ve all heard about REM sleep, which accounts for about 20 to 25% of a human beings sleep cycle. This is an intermittent sleep pattern, the cause of which is still being studied all over the world. However, it has been proved that influencing a person in stages of REM sleep is actually possible.

An Ai Capable Of Rewriting Its Own Code Is A Reality

The modern AI philosophy puts learning on the first place. Machine and deep learning are the two most popular catchphrases in today’s field of AI research. By repeating, in the form of feeding AIs huge amounts of data and them letting them learn on examples and making them capable of doing different things, we can today make AIs capable of recognizing different objects, predicting user’s preferences, coming with solutions for different problems, and even recognizing faces, one of the hardest things an AI can accomplish. But for making an AI to “learn” something we must feed it with immense amounts

Bill Gates Believes Robots Should Pay Income Taxes

Automation is the next step towards the utopia where robot workforce does all with humans standing on the side, working on more creative works or jobs tough for robots to handle, like in the medicine, or psychology field. Automation is the next big leap, and possibly the longest jump forward industry will see ever since Henry Ford introduced assembly line back in 1913. But, the utopia won’t really be there. The majority of jobs today fall into the group that will most certainly end up in the hands of autonomous robots, with the biggest question being how will those human

LG Promises It’s G6 Will Be A Multitasking Beast

The LG G6 has not been released yet but all the signs point to a much-improved flagship device this year after the flawed G5 modular experiment. Leaks, as well as carefully prepared Press shots, have given us some idea of what to expect with this device, though. For one thing, LG has shelved the modular experiment and by all indications, plastic, as well. This should be the first all metal flagship that is released from LG. It was the last holdout from the previous era of smartphones, although, HTC seems to be going back to integrating plastic in its products.

Facebook Is Going For LinkedIn’s Throat

Facebook is getting ready to eat LinkedIn’s lunch as it allows companies to post job listings on their company pages. Facebook has over a billion daily users now and its algorithms are finely tuned to bringing people the content that they want to see. This means that job hunting could be as easy as ‘liking’ the company page and then getting regular updates on your news feed. It will definitely help save job hunters some time and possibly eliminate the need for them to pay LinkedIn for extra features as well. Recruiters could possibly pay to ensure their job postings

The Terminator Conundrum – Will AI Become The Ultimate Weapon Of Destruction?

These days arms race is starting to expand again. After the fall of USSR, a couple of decades passed with the biggest military powers staying on good terms one with another. The US were the ultimate player in the world, and the state of homeostasis lasted until the second half of the last decade. When you have one power above them all, things are easy, simple, and far from escalating. On the other hand, ever yregime that doesn’t fit the US plans would end up being wiped from the face of the world. While the status quo we lived in

Japan Has Plans To Build The World’s Largest Floating Solar Power Plant

Solar power is a solid source of renewable energy, but the problem some countries face is the lack of unoccupied land on which solar plants could be built on. Japan is among the countries with the least amount of unoccupied land, land that could be spared for building huge solar power plants. Since out planet is made mostly out of water surfaces, the question arises – could we use water surfaces for solar power plants? Of course, we have, and Japan is one of the countries hosting such plants. The concept isn’t exactly new since there have been similar projects

uBeam Just Blew Our Minds With Its Technology Demonstration

It is not often that we get a technology demo that seems truly magical anymore. Maybe it’s just cynicism from covering technology all the time or being wary of claims that sound to be good to be true from companies like Theranos or just the fact that true technological leaps are rare. This is exactly what uBeam was promising and to our delight, exactly what they delivered. The company promised to showcase true wireless charging in a ‘closed demo’, an odd choice then to invite technology journalists from leading publications. This is not wireless charging as we are used to

New Report Unveils A Dramatic Increase In Malvertising During 2016

Malvertising is a dark side of internet marketing. The number of pages containing malvertising ads is increased dramatically over the years, especially on mobile devices. Since ad blockers aren’t so prominent in the mobile world, many sites use malvertising to redirect users to pages containing malware, usually followed by obnoxious vibrating notifications. On the PC, malrvetising is also prominent, mostly with various streaming sites. The malicious ads are usually hidden from the user, mostly in the form of a “pop under” ads that are mostly unnoticed until it’s too late. 2016 saw a dramatic rise of malvertising, with many experts

Cellebrite, Company That Helped FBI To Hack An iPhone Used By The San Bernardino Attacker Got Hacked, iPhone Hacking Tools Leaked Online

If you remember, after San Bernardino terrorist attack, which took place during late 2015, FBI asked Apple to unlock the iPhone 5c used by one of the attackers, in an effort to uncover evidence that could give the police new findings of the case. Apple responded by stating that it can’t help the FBI because if the company made the potential unlock tool, the tool could make iPhone security encryption obsolescent if ended in wrong hands. FBI tried to make Apple unlock the iPhone by a couple of court orders, but the Cupertino giant refused to do so because of

Northwestern University’s Professors Created An AI System Capable Of Scoring Better Than 75 Percent Of The US Population In Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test

One of the most important aspects of general intelligence model created by Charles Spearman. Spearman is one of the most recognized names in psychology because he was first to propose a model of general intelligence based on one common factor (a general ability factor, or simply the g factor) influencing every aspect of intelligence. Today, Spearman’s theory is considered as a base for all intelligence tests, with IQ scores being estimates of a person’s standing on the g factor, compared to the general population. One of the most famous non-verbal intelligence tests used today is Raven’s Progressive Matrices test (RPM),

Scientists At Harvard University Claim They Have Created Metallic Hydrogen – A Material That, Until Now, Existed Only In Theory

Metallic hydrogen was a ghost material, predicted theoretically in 1935 by two physicists, Eugene Wigner and Hillard Bell Huntington. The two scientists came to a conclusion that, under a colossal pressure hydrogen atoms could display metallic properties, but all predictions stayed just a theory because the amount of pressure needed to transform hydrogen into a metal was just too high to be recreated artificially back then. The hypothesis predicts that, although the material can’t be found on the Earth, metallic hydrogen could exist inside cores of gas giant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and a number of extrasolar
