Monvid: A P2P and Proxied Streaming Platform

The combination of technological access and social problems can create friction. We've seen governments around the world react to this issue, often by attempting to restrict or cut off access to the Internet. But it's not always a clear-cut case of censorship. Sometimes, the government wants to prevent a situation from escalating.

There is power in social media. It can give a voice to the disenfranchised, bringing their message to an audience that might otherwise never hear it. It can shed light onto injustice. It can allow bullies to target and harass victims. It's more than just a means of entertainment or communication. As such, the immediate future will likely be a tumultuous one as we try to find the best path to balance expression and respect for privacy.

Monvid has created the ultimate video streaming platform to solve restriction, censorship video contents problems. By leveraging blockchain technology suported by decentralized community network, Monvid aims to cut-pass restrictions, filters, and censorship to deliver a video streaming service platform that is easy-to-use and advert free.

The platform will give people the experience of watching their favorite videos without any restrictions irrespective of where they are. Monvid vision is to completely pursue scalable video streaming platform for producer and the consumer. In order to do that, Monvid platform will be built on two distinct methods, which are P2P sharing and proxy streaming. 

Peer-to-Peer Video Sharing

This functionality will allow content owners and video creator to share their videos for everyone to see for free without any fees and this video can then be rewarded by the community members.Whenever a user watches a creator video and would like to support their work, they can reward the creator with some MVID. The owners usually will get these rewards at no additional or hidden cost. These rewards may depend on the quality of the creator’s videos and the streaming quality that the community members got.

Proxy Streaming

One significant wain in which internet access is restricted across the world is through geo-blocking, whereby access is limited to people within a certain geographical location. Monvid enables its users to easily bypass these geographical restrictions without having to compromise on reduced internet speed as is usually the case when using a VPN. Furthermore, Monvid’s platform is secure and fast, thus providing a more enjoyable viewing experience.

Monvid video streaming platform will provides numerous features and benefits, include in:

• Privacy: Monvid is built on the blockchain technology powered by decentralized network which ensures that every user’s data is always safe and also provide encrypted data transfers. 
• Cost Efficiency: Content creators will be paid based on their output, thus eliminating the need for subscription costs.
• No Advertisements: With Monvid you get to enjoy a smooth, uninterrupted watching experience without any advertisements
• Content Ownership: Content creator has sole ownership of their content. They will be able to control and set the price of their content.
• Encrypted Data Transfer: Monvid platform data transfer is encrypted and untraceable providing extra security to users and content creators.

In order to revolutionize video streaming market, Monvid created the MVID token. Users of monvid will be able to take advantage of a discounted payment for content using MVID Tokens. MVID token can be purchase during the ICO. At present, MVID ICO is on the main sale phase and will be end until August, 31 2018. 

Finally, video streaming has rapidly become a competitive niche for blockchain companies. Number of startups are leveraging blockchain technology and blockchain-based cryptocurrencies in bids to disrupt the likes of Netflix, YouTube and other traditional online video platforms. The application of blockchain in video streaming shows a lot of promise, especially regarding the delivery of cheap and unrestricted content to users. Monvid is a truly revolutionary project and it should help people access video streaming services from anywhere in the world. 

However, Monvid platform will face the challenge of adoption in remote regions where internet access is slow. Furthermore, the platform does not have a mobile app that could help users stay updated on new videos from creators.

Universal Labs' Ubbey Network and Box

Cloud storage is a model of data storage in which the digital data is stored in logical pools, the physical storage spans multiple servers (and often locations), and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hosting company. These cloud storage providers are responsible for keeping the data available and accessible, and the physical environment protected and running. People and organizations buy or lease storage capacity from the providers to store user, organization, or application data.

The demand for cloud storage services has grown exponentially over the last decade, and two types of cloud storage seem discernible: Personal and Public.

Public clouds involve the complete outsourcing of data storage to trusted centralized providers (e.g.: DropBox, Google Drive); these provide the benefit of a low monthly fees and ease of use. However, public cloud providers present certain important weaknesses: Unpaid bills may result in lost data; pricing rises substantially as storage requirements increase; centralized providers are prone to hackers and government eavesdropping; and centralized providers themselves may collect information from the data being stored.

Private clouds involve the installation of a local storage system to which permissioned devices can be connect to in close proximity. Unlike public clouds, private clouds enjoy higher levels of privacy and security: They are harder to breach, and centralized third parties will not have access to the data itself. Although frequently personal clouds present a higher upfront cost, the amortized cost over the long run will be lower, and this will be achieved while retaining the strictest ownership of personal data.

The two biggest concerns about cloud storage are reliability and security. Clients aren't likely to entrust their data to another company without a guarantee that they'll be able to access their information whenever they want and no one else will be able to get at it.

The cloud storage and blockchain may be a match made in heaven, but it is unlikely that every enterprise organization will build its own infrastructure that can support it. Integration of the two technologies can ensure consistent performance and security. 

Indeed, other advantages of the storage allow access to data and blockchain-enabled applications. Implementing the cloud storage can enable access-based management approaches and identity to thrive. Service providers can provide strong foundations, eliminating the need for organizations to integrate applications on their own.

Some enterprise cloud service providers can even leverage data on a decentralized blockchain, storing data on dozens of separate pathways, which are dispersed worldwide. Blockchain technology has come a long way. It is certainly a game-changer.

Ubbey Network is an all new blockchain platform that has been developed by Universal Labs. Ubbey Network is a decentralized network powered by Ubbey Box and the Ownership Protocol (OWP) that has been designed to enable peer-to-peer exchange. In addition to facilitating asset transfers between network participants, Ubbey also allows for ownership transfer of alt currency holdings along with other physical assets such as real estate, cars and luxury products.

Ubbey Box is a hardware device designed by Universal Labs. It can be used as a personal cloud storage for individuals or enterprises. It provides user with massive amount of secure data storage space, with 1TB or 2TB options available in the first version. It allows users to backup or store at one place and access the file from anywhere and anytime. Users can connect Ubbey Box with different devices including but not limited to media players, gaming consoles and smart TVs. With the arrival of Internet of Things, Ubbey box can also connect with various smart devices in future. 

Ubbey Box is also a full node for the Ubbey network, which means it acts like a “miner” in Bitcoin network. The Ubbey network block creator will be randomly selected from Ubbey box nodes based on Proof of Storage consensus algorithm. Users can mine YOU token through sharing their personal storage space, and be rewarded with YOU token as an incentive to power and secure the network.

Some of the other core features of Ubbey include:

Development Environment:

The network is completely open-source based and can be used for constructing various DApps. These applications can make employ the OWP protocol and as a result of this will have the capacity to connect virtual data with real world assets.

Digital Data Ownership:

Many blockchain enthusiasts already know that it is quite difficult to assign ownership of data when using digital platforms and assets. However, through the use of its internal algorithmic modules, Ubbey is able to streamline the entire exchange process, making such complex transactions easy for all of the involved parties.

Usability:

The platform makes use of a universal protocol that is compatible with a wide array of digital assets.

Security:

Ubbey provides users with a technology that helps them differentiate between original and counterfeit products.

Transparency:

As with all high quality blockchain services, Ubbey makes use of a decentralized network that is powered by Ubbey Box and the Ownership Protocol (OWP). This allows for transactions to take place in a completely transparent manner.

Fast:

Owing to its use of a P2P model, ownership exchange of digital and physical assets can be done directly from one IP to another within a matter of seconds.

Reliable:

According to the website, the Ubbey network block creator makes use of nodes that are based on a specialized Proof of Storage consensus algorithm.

P2PS: Blockchain-based Secure P2P Digital Communication Platform

The digitization of our society continues apace. Millions of machines are networked with each other and huge quantities of data are being processed. All of which gives rise to questions about our data protection standards, which traditionally tend to be high in Europe. How can we transfer these standards to a digital age? Is it enough to comply with laws or do we need rules which go beyond these in order to gain people's trust? Digital responsibility lies at the heart of all these issues. A responsibility, especially when it comes to data privacy.

In the digital world, new business models are generating more and more personal data and processing that data in disparate ways. The individual struggles to comprehend the complexity of the data flows. This trend is set to accelerate further over the next few years as devices and everyday objects are increasingly networked. Virtually every aspect of our lives will be affected. Whether it is shopping or at the doctor's office, at work or leisure: Data is being collected, networked and correlated everywhere.

Many people are worried about this development. Skepticism of new digital business models is rife. These business models in particular depend on customer trust and ultimately acceptance in society. Some people would even like to see us stop processing data altogether in order to allay these fears. But that is not an approach our society can embrace as it moves into the future. Today we have no alternative to data processing. Virtually all existing and upcoming business models are based on processing data and the associated information. Our society would grind to a halt without data processing. So we need to find ways and solutions that inspire people's trust in digital business models and bolster that trust long term. So while we do need data processing, it also needs to be compatible with data privacy. Because it is clear that if people do not trust us to use their data, then it is not only the economy that stands to lose out. Developments that are essential to society, such as in the medical field, would also be permanently jeopardized as a result.

Blockchain, with its encrypted and immutable record, will eventually be used create universal digital identities, filled with information that only we will control and that will link back to the issuing banks, governments or even employers. Fintech firms, software makers, telecom providers and other businesses have joined forces develop a blockchain-based network that will enable anyone to exchange digital credentials online and without the risk of unintentionally exposing any private data.

Blockchain was first used as a peer-to-peer (P2P) ledger for registering the Bitcoin economic transactions A transaction represents a transfer of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. New transactions are relayed to all peers of the blockchain, which check their validity. Valid transactions are grouped into a block and stored in the blockchain in a way that tampering with them is nearly impossible, as it would require large computational power. Many peers store the entire history of the blockchain, therefore they are called full nodes. Each attempt of registering non valid transaction in the blockchain or changing its history is detected by those nodes and can be avoided. The result is a system enabling secure economic transactions which, by virtue of its P2P nature, is not controlled by any centralized entity (there is no bank issuing the currency) and does not feature single points of failure.

The tamper-resistance property, the validation of data inserted and the P2P nature of the blockchain enlarge the spectrum of applications of this technology, going far beyond cryptocurrencies and financial uses. Indeed, the blockchain can be seen as an immutable, fully-decentralized log of events, since information is validated, stored in a precise order, timestamped and -once registered- is difficult to be tampered.

Introduces you to P2P Solutions Foundation or P2PS! which described as decentralized security across peer to peer networks and powered by blockchain technology.

P2PS claimed as the world's first blockchain-powered and pure peer to peer digital communication platform. The platform designed for people who have data to be stored safely and creates the same security in exchange. The platform purpose is to bring a secure system where you can exchange secret assets or digital files without any hassle from any third party; not even a network or system administrator. P2PS is a pure peer-to-peer platform that protects, for example, your medical records, banking information and other sensitive digital assets, during an exchange between two parties.

Using the peer-to-peer networks economic ecosystem built around the interference-free communications platform, P2PS Foundation purposes to build an extremely secure and strong network of interference-free communication systems with faster processing and a perpetual record of transactions. This process also streamlines financial actions into efficient and highly secure processes.

In order to secure your data, P2PS Platform services will manage your data as follows: 

• Stores your information 
• Divides your information 
• Scatters that information during storage 

This way it is practically impossible that your information could ever be hacked, meaning your data is safe and secure. In short, P2PS is described as ahead of the curve in their specific attention to the details surrounding safety and security of your information. In addition,P2PS also wanted to ensure that their platform is always available online.
