Do you still remember the "dog money" we reported earlier? The first was a group of people who helped Jamaica Sled to participate in the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2013 for a charity, a digital currency based on blockchain technology. After a few years, developers of "Bucks" did not update the software. Even so, the market value of Bucks has recently exceeded the $ 1 billion mark. The price of a single item has risen from $ 0.00099 to $ 0.01.
It is not hard to see the popularity of virtual currencies from "dog coins" and "bitcoin." But in fact, the underlying technology - blockchain technology has begun to attract the attention of many industries except for virtual digital currency.Pblock technology has a point-to-point transaction , The characteristic of privacy of the information is strong, the security is high.All other transactions that utilize the blockchain are traceable and difficult to tamper with.Therefore, finance, real estate and other industries are beginning to focus on the blockchain technology.
The above-mentioned industries have already been activated, for example, Bank of China and Tencent have already tested the blockchain technology in the field of financial applications in order to reduce the risk during the transaction. In fact, in addition to these "serious" commercial applications, Blockchain technology is also used in less "serious" but interesting things. Geek Park picks out a few representative items to share with readers:
Raise "Cats" in blockchain to regenerate "Money" by cats
Are you still spending money on the frogs or the four "wild men"? Do not just focus on these games. Now one of the most fashionable games in Europe and the United States is to raise "cats" with blockchain clouds. The same is true of the game, but unlike raising frogs or raising men, virtual kittens that crave blockchain cats not only generate kittens, but also generate income for cat masters.

At present, there are a number of block-up "cats" games in the world, of which the most representative is Ethereum's "CryptoKitties" game, which runs on Ethereum platform , Thanks to the distributed computing technology of blockchain technology, as long as someone is still playing this game, even if the game company goes down, the game will continue to run.
First of all, the player needs to download the Ether Cat App and after logging in, the system will give the player a unique cat (the cat consists of 256 unique "genetic" numbers). Next, the player can choose to feed , Nurture, dress up, and sell their own cats. Since then, wait for the cats to have a childbearing time, players can choose to buy one in the open market or rent an opposite sex cat to breed cats, of course, whether it is to buy or rent, need to pay other players By the same token, you can also sell your cat on the market and change it to ether so that you can earn "money" while raising "cats".
The cats in the game will be divided into different genres such as first-generation cats and second-generation cats. The next generation of cats will inherit the genetic characteristics of some of their parents, such as fur color, to cultivate the mature time, and the closer to the first generation, the shorter the reproductive time This will prevent the game from cats becoming more serious.
Block chickens, more expensive and more "healthy"
In fact, in addition to cats, some people are using "block" to support "chicken." For example, Public Security Technology started offering blockchain technology to chicken farmers since last year for scientific chicken breeding, which looks like only animal differences but Public security science and technology blockchain chicken is real chicken.

In fact, it is not difficult to make it, in fact, not difficult, chicken to chicken feet put on a public sensor technology provided by the sensor "foot ring", you can record the chicken's life trajectory, movement, and to quantify In addition, Alltech also provides IoT and sensor technology to monitor farms, including temperature, pollutants, soil, water quality, etc. After that, the test data will be recorded through the blockchain system.
Technology looks simple, but the effect is real. Due to the tamper-evident blockchain, the authenticity of all the data about the chicken farming process is fully guaranteed, which not only helps farmers adjust their feeding practices, but also allows At the time of selection, the purchaser determined the identity and growth status of the chicken by scanning the "chicken plate." However, the price of the chicken thus raised would not be as cheap as RMB 238 per item.
Block chain AR rose, UNITA vows "recorder"
Above, we mentioned the block cloud cloud cat.However, the clouds are good cats, but in fact, to some extent, or for a form of speculation in virtual digital currency.In contrast, Storm video blockchain based technology development AR Rose game "The Rose" is different because it is designed to give the object, the couple can record their own life on the floor.

After the players buy the rose seeds, they can display the 3D panorama on the mobile phone through the AR form by sticking to daily watering and diary and planting rare roses, and when the roses are cultivated, the diary and gifts Rose's time, place, and message content are permanently recorded on the blockchain, and the more time and energy the breeder spends, the more likely it is to get a rare rose.
Unlike other virtual currency games, the Rose in the game does not need to be traded in a virtual currency and can only be donated as a love forensics for a price of $ 59.9 per seed. Of course, players also have to plant these roses Just to be clear, since all the data can not be tampered with, the "vows" of the rose will become "ironclad vouchers." It would be embarrassing if the eventual breakup with the object of sending flowers ...
Blockchain computing network + AI, to help spacecraft hide garbage
When the weather is good, the sky seems clean without any trace of impurities, but this is not the case, when spacecraft fly in space, they encounter "space junk" of all sizes, big and small, Spacecraft is likely to be scrapped.

To solve this problem, NASA provided $ 333,000 to Akron University in Ohio, asking the school's research team to come up with a solution.According to foreign media futurism reported that the University of Akron research team has to deal with " Massive high-dimensional data "distributed computing network capabilities.
After research, Akron University's research team decided to use deep learning artificial intelligence techniques that run on Ethereum's blockchain network to help spacecraft "think" about space junk itself. "Distributed networks will help the system deal with Accurate response to massive amounts of data, plus the AI algorithm, the system also enables spacecraft to "automatically" react to obstacles encountered away from Earth.
Block chain running App, sweating while making money
Sweatcoin is a fitness free application in App Store in the US District. Unlike the trading of cats and cats, this blockchain application does not work hard in the bit world. Instead, Sweatcoin emphasizes that using "sweat" as "money" through the movement in the physical world - This app provides users with access to 0.95 digital currency "Sweatcoin" for every 1000 steps taken.

Incentive users to insist on exercise is the "heart of the" developer of this App, in their view, only to give users a "real" return in order to motivate them to continue their movement.The digital currency obtained through the campaign can be redeemed within the App Goods or services, such as yoga classes, running shoes, can of course be given to other people or to nonprofits.
Of course, do not even think about cheating on mobile phones, etc. Geek Park reported earlier that in order to prevent users from getting rid of Khan coins by mobile phones, Sweatcoin will compare the collected user GPS information with the number of steps and other sports related data Yes, once there is a mismatch, Khan Coin can not be redeemed, and with the use of Blockchain, all athletic data is hard to tamper with.
