HashCash Builds a Blockchain-Powered “Wills and Inheritance” Model


Blockchain-Powered “Wills and Inheritance” Model

Blockchain-Powered “Wills and Inheritance” Model

The problem surrounding the inheritance of virtual wealth is complex. Here again, blockchain steps in to offer relief. The strategic application of smart contract design can appropriately resolve the issues arising in cases of inheritance of digital assets.

Global blockchain development company HashCash Consultants is pleased to announce the development of a blockchain-driven ‘Wills and Inheritance’ model. The system seeks to explore the legal implications, issues, and challenges in the laws that govern inheritances.

HashCash designed ‘digital wills’ will target the volume of digital wealth accumulated by an individual during their lifetime. This wealth has to be transferred to some kin following the demise of the individual. The HashCash design simplifies such inheritance of digital wealth by means of a smart contract-driven system.

If the keyholder expires without sharing their private key, their assets on the blockchain cannot be retrieved by those he/she is survived.

Therefore, the solution to the situation is to write one’s will onto the blockchain. This information could be automatically executed via smart contracts upon the death of the testator. The testator may list his/her assets and private key on their will. However, this information will not be revealed to anyone except the beneficiaries upon his/her demise. This arrangement renders the system much safer and more secure than a conventional paper will. This system facilitates the users of the platform to secure their digital assets so that the investor’s legacy may be passed down to their beneficiaries safely and securely.

“The problem surrounding the inheritance of virtual wealth is complex. Here again, blockchain steps in to offer relief,” said Raj Chowdhury, founder, and CEO of HashCash Consultants.

“The strategic application of smart contracts design can appropriately resolve the issues arising in cases of inheritance of digital assets”.

This system of transfer of digital wealth from the deceased to their heirs may be challenged on many levels. One of those is the presence of witnesses which is crucial in the case of a traditional will. It may b questioned whether an electronic signature should suffice in the case of a digital will. Further issues may arise out of inheritance tax laws across jurisdictions. The varied taxations on crypto will pose obstacles on the way to its realization.

HashCash is passing through a phase of steady growth securing a wide variety of overseas projects in various domains. HashCash Consultants has decidedly contributed to massive growth in the crypto sector in UAE. The blockchain development company has recently announced its collaboration in a project that seeks to turn medical data of individuals into NFTs. HashCash is also working on a micro-loans system that is to cater to women entrepreneurs in economically weaker regions.

With the smart contracts-based ‘wills and inheritance’ system HashCash addresses a very common yet exceedingly complex real-world problem. Approvals from relevant authorities may render such a system operational arousing minimal friction in the process.

Thousands enjoy attending Imagine RIT: Creativity and Innovation Festival

“I don’t think there’s another college in the country that puts on this kind of festival. There’s something for everyone to see.” – RIT President David Munson

After going virtual for 2021, thousands of people came to the Rochester Institute of Technology campus on April 23 for an in-person Imagine RIT: Creativity and Innovation Festival, which featured more than 250 exhibits throughout the campus from more than 1,800 students and faculty.

Topics ranged from robotics, cybersecurity, the arts, biomedicine, performing arts, education of the deaf, and more, with exhibits ranging from a sustainable portable latrine, the RIT Beekeeping Club, interaction with a coral reef, and a virtual planetarium.

“It’s been way too long,” said RIT President David Munson upon seeing exuberant visitors, carrying their complementary orange tote bags flocking to campus for the festival for the first time since 2019. “This is the showcase event for the university. It just gets better every year.”

Munson said RIT prides itself in preparing students to be citizens of the world. “That means preparing our students not just for jobs and careers, but also for life. In the RIT context, ‘innovation’ takes on a rich meaning. It is about creating the tools, processes, and systems that will make things better than they are. Imagine RIT is a part of this ecosystem.”

Visitors came from hours away to explore the unique exhibits Imagine had to offer.

Ryan Turoff, 16, drove to Rochester from his home across the state near Poughkeepsie with his mother and grandmother to see whether RIT might be a school he would apply to. He’s thinking of majoring in engineering, or physics perhaps, and had checked off exhibits he wanted to make sure he saw.

“We wanted to come to show him the different fields to choose from in the various majors,” said his mother, Jennifer Thompson Turoff.

But he wasted no time trying out the Human Hamster Wheel, touring the Theme Park Enthusiasts and checking out the epee, foil and saber demonstrations by the RIT Fencing Club in the Gordon Field House.

The creativity and inspiration of three exhibiting student groups were rewarded with $5,000 in the TAD Competition, showcasing exhibits in the intersection of technology, the arts, and design.

Those subjects were also infused throughout other exhibits across campus, many showcasing their unique flair for fusing art and design.

A team from RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf displayed their PopSign app designed to help hearing parents of deaf or hard-of-hearing children learn sign language. The project, a collaboration between RIT’s Center on Access Technology and Georgia Tech, is designing the next generation of the game.

And the Futurists Symposium was well attended, featuring three distinguished RIT alumni: Erin Sarofsky ’98 (graphic design), ’00 (computer graphic design), executive creative director and owner of Sarofsky Corp.; Franklyn Athias ’85 (computer science), CTO and senior vice president for Xfinity Mobil Retail Convergence – XMRC; and Aaron Gordon, ’13, (film and animation), founder and CEO of Optic Sky Productions.

“I don’t think there’s another college in the country that puts on this kind of festival,” Munson said. “There’s something for everyone to see.”

The festival’s premier sponsor this year was Rochester Regional Health.

OSARO Expands Field Team with Industry Veterans for Customer Success


OSARO designs & deploys robotics automation solutions in the materials handling industry using software-defined robotics with advanced machine learning for object recognition and robot control.

“E-commerce logistics operations globally are wrestling with burgeoning consumer demand and labor shortages. OSARO’s expanded team can support our customers’ success from the first moment they ask about how piece-picking robotics can be integrated into their operation.”

OSARO, a global leader in the development and deployment of advanced robotics for e-commerce, has deepened its bench of field team members with supply-chain industry veterans who have overseen the challenges of warehouse automation and the emergence of AMR, ASRS, and AI-driven technologies for more than 20 years.

Tracy Perdue has taken on the leadership role of vice president of sales for OSARO. Perdue brings 20 years of industry experience, working with Dematic, Intelligrated, and Conveyco Technologies, among others.

“‘Let’s get real,’ is my approach,” said Perdue. “We believe in finding the right answer to meet a specific situation, not a one-size-fits-all, out-of-box solution. OSARO supports you from your first exploration of adding the latest robotics to your e-commerce through the challenges of integration.”

The AI-driven, piece-picking robots OSARO optimizes for its industrial customers represent the next big area of achievable benefits in e-commerce distribution as surging demand and disruptions continue to put pressure on fulfillment centers to work smarter and faster. By automating common manual processes such as movement, storage and retrieval, and picking and placing, fulfillment centers and e-commerce operations can become more efficient and cost effective, while addressing today’s labor shortages.

OSARO is experiencing increased interest in the OSARO Robotic Bagging System, which pairs robots powered by OSARO software with automatic bagging machines from leading vendors. To meet customer needs for front-end discovery and planning, OSARO also just hired Bryan Arnold as director of sales and David Burton as director of inside sales.

Arnold brings 22 years of experience in technical sales, 16 of them in the material handling automation industry. That included two years at Daifuku Wynright, four years at Retrotech/Dematic, seven years at Honeywell Intelligrated, and three years at SencorpWhite. A graduate of Texas A&M with a BS in Industrial Distribution, he also worked in the electrical industry at Thomas & Betts and Robroy Industries.

His deep, integration-oriented knowledge of automated material handling technologies enhances his ability to identify client issues to be solved and business advantages to be gained based on revenue, cycle time, quality, compliance, or profitability improvements.

“I pride myself on listening and capturing clients’ perspectives across multiple intralogistical disciplines and roles,” said Arnold. “I am looking forward to helping order fulfillment providers adopt robotic piece-picking solutions to optimize their operations while mitigating the risks of labor volatility and scarcity.”

Burton is a veteran in more ways than one. He has worked across the industry at Honeywell, LiftOne, and Rhino Tool House. That followed a 15-year career in nuclear engineering with the U.S. Navy.

“Our job is to implement efficient, reliable operations that boost throughput, while reducing costs, labor problems, inventory concerns, and bottlenecks,” said Burton, who noted he gained his strong appreciation of the critical need for precision and integration while working on nuclear submarine systems. “I look forward to creating more awareness regarding the industry challenges plaguing many companies today and offering key insights that may help them achieve their desired operational goals.”

“E-commerce logistics operations globally are wrestling with burgeoning consumer demand and labor shortages,” said Derik Pridmore, CEO of OSARO. “We welcome the deep experience and unrivaled systems knowledge that Tracy, Bryan, and David bring to our dedicated product and sales groups. Our expanded team can support our customers’ success from the first moment they ask about how piece-picking robotics can be integrated into their operation.”

About OSARO

OSARO designs and deploys robotics automation solutions in the materials handling industry using software-defined robotics with advanced machine learning for object recognition and powerful control software. The company’s piece-picking solutions are optimized for e-commerce markets, where key challenges include high SKU inventories, complex packaging, and fragile items requiring delicate handling.

Digiarty Is Giving Away WinX DVD Ripper to Those Users Switching from Streaming to DVD


Digiarty

Digiarty Software, a famous multimedia software provider, is giving away 500 license codes of its well-regarded WinX DVD Ripper Platinum per day, through May 5. This event is based mainly on the consideration that some users have gone back to their old DVD collection after canceling streaming services. This time-limited giveaway is available on:

https://www.winxdvd.com/resource/dvd-to-mp4.htm

The world’s largest streaming giant was just reported to have lost hundreds of thousands of people subscribers in the first quarter of 2022 and is expected to lose more over the next few months. Those users may have turned to other streaming services or taken out their old DVD collection to pass leisure time. Compared with streaming, watching movies on DVD is less convenient unless a DVD ripper is applied.

WinX DVD Ripper was initially released in 2009. It is designed to convert purchased DVDs to digital files for personal use, such as for saving to a computer, external hard drive, NAS, cloud, playing on a laptop/TV without using a DVD player, or playing on a mobile on the go. Since its debut, it has served more than 70 million users and will continue.

Main features:

  • Convert DVD to ISO or VIDEO_TS folder to make an exact backup of a DVD.
  • Rip DVD, ISO, or VIDEO_TS to MP4, MOV, MPEG, FLV, and more formats with good quality and small size.
  • Provide more than 350 output profiles covering all popular formats, devices, programs, and platforms.
  • Accept DVDs from any region/country. Support both burned and store-bought DVDs, whether old or newly released.
  • Support using multi-core CPU and GPU to boost DVD decoding and encoding process. It could finish a DVD within 5 minutes.
  • Edit the output: cut off unwanted clips, crop the frame, merge a few titles, add external subtitles, and change interlaced video to progressive scan.

Hitting the market in 1997, the DVD turns 25 this year. But, it is still not dead even though it has been besieged by streaming services for years. According to flatpanelshd, sales of DVD, Blu-ray, and UHD Blu-ray discs reached $1.97 billion and rentals reached $883 million in the US in 2021, making up around 9% of the US home entertainment market.

There is still a large number of people collecting, renting, and buying physical media for the bonus features, special editions, good quality, or other reasons. Their belief that they can’t rely on subscription streaming alone becomes stronger as they see the drawbacks of streaming, such as high and increasing pricing yet lacking quality content, and axing favorite movies and TV shows too soon.

Undoubtedly, DVD also has its disadvantages, such as easy to damage and relying on a DVD player to play. But these problems can be easily solved with a DVD copy program like WinX DVD Ripper. This software can help make backups and create digital copies for playback on any device.

Pricing and Availability

WinX DVD Ripper is fully compatible with Windows and Mac, supporting legacy systems to new releases. It provides a subscription plan ($39.95 for 1-year / 3 PCs) and a lifetime plan ($65.95) to meet different user needs. Anyone interested in this program can visit the time-limited giveaway page to get a license for free.

About Digiarty Software Inc.

With more than 16 years of development, Digiarty has become a world-leading provider of personal and home-use video audio applications based on Windows and macOS. It has specialized in disc backup, video conversion/resizing, iPhone management, and more, and engaged with over 180,000,00 satisfied users, spanning over 200 countries all over the world.

Artificial Intelligence Platform Provides Access to Legal Resources for Those Who Can’t Afford a Lawyer


News Image

“Courtroom5 is bridging the access-to-justice gap by providing reputable legal resources at an affordable rate when a lawyer’s full service isn’t an option or isn’t desired”.

Courtroom5, a digital- and artificial intelligence-based platform that provides resources for pro se litigants (appearing in civil court without a lawyer), is partnering with Fastcase, a comprehensive, nationwide law library, that includes case law, statutes, regulations, court rules, and constitutions. The partnership gives Courtroom5 members an additional level of support by connecting them with attorneys using Fastcase through state bar member benefit access.

Courtroom5 was founded by Sonja Ebron and Debra Slone, two non-lawyers who previously experienced frustration navigating the civil court system without professional legal representation. Courtroom5 members are given access to an entire litigator’s toolset, animated video courses, claims analysis and legal research tools, document assembly workflows, and community forums. Using artificial intelligence, Courtroom5 tracks a user’s case from start to finish, providing specific and timely information that aids litigants each step of the way.

“Being able to provide litigants access to a lawyer on an as-needed basis is truly a gamechanger,” said Sonja Ebron, co-founder of Courtroom5. “Traditionally, it’s been nearly impossible to engage an attorney for a small component of a relatively straightforward civil case. Our partnership with Fastcase makes attaining that additional level of legal expertise a reality that benefits both our members and any interested lawyers in Fastcase’s vast network.”

According to a US Justice Needs study conducted by The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HiiL) and the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS), access to justice is a broad societal problem—66% of the population experienced at least one legal issue in the past four years, with just 49% of those problems having been completely resolved. Courtroom5 is the first digital and AI-based platform positioned to provide many of these litigants the opportunity to effectively manage and resolve their cases using its proprietary software. Partnering with Fastcase provides new opportunities for litigants seeking counsel from a lawyer for a single component of their case. Previously, this has been exceedingly difficult, as most lawyers do not work on an ad-hoc basis, but the partnership with Fastcase will allow lawyers within Fastcase’s membership network of more than 50 national, state, and county bar associations to assist with individual requests from Courtroom5 users. Additionally, Courtroom5 users will have unlimited access to search caselaw within Fastcase, one of the largest online law libraries in the world, by logging in thru their Courtroom5 account.

“Courtroom5 is bridging the access-to-justice gap by providing reputable legal resources at an affordable rate when a lawyer’s full service isn’t an option or isn’t desired,” said Ed Walters, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Fastcase. “Our mission at Fastcase is to democratize the law, so connecting self-represented litigants as needed with lawyers is right in line with that goal. This partnership allows Courtroom5 users to set up limited-scope access to lawyers who use Fastcase, and to select individual elements of cases where they can provide the most help.”

DAOs are the Future of Organizational Structure, in the Metaverse and Beyond: Raj Chowdhury


DAOs are the Future of Organizational Structure

DAOs are the Future of Organizational Structure

I see DAOs as the future of organizational structure, in the Metaverse and the physical world. DAOs are also capable of raising startling amounts of funds far exceeding the current ownership models from private individuals.

Blockchain pioneer and founder of HashCash Consultants, Raj Chowdhury pins hopes on the Decentralized Autonomous Organization or DAOs as the future of the organizational structure.

A DAO, by definition, is an organization that functions on rules encoded within a computer program that is transparent, operates by a consensus mechanism, and is not influenced by a central government. This is saying that they are member-owned communities without any centralized leadership.

Chowdhury is one among the crypto community of those who have placed their stake in the DAOs. The HashCash chief, for one, has on a prior occasion spoken of DAO taking the center stage this year.

Chowdhury widened his ground, on DAOs bracketing the Metaverse and the real world. “I see DAOs as the future of organizational structure, in the Metaverse and the physical world,” he wrote in an email. He went on to describe an example of a DAO as a sports team franchise owner. The token holders will have the power to vote for the players on the team.

“DAOs are also capable of raising startling amounts of funds far exceeding the current ownership models from private individuals,” added Chowdhury.

Chowdhury, further eclipsed around DeFi space that will most likely adapt itself to the DAO structure. “The Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space has a number of exchanges that are code-based executions of asset swapping,” he wrote. He pointed to the purchases of assets like cryptocurrency or synthetic assets that are pegged to stocks. These organizations tend towards DAO-centricity and will eventually eliminate human intervention.

“This is because a large portion of its operations may be programmed into the organizational structure, requiring only tweaks of code voted on by the DAO token holders,” he added.

Chowdhury has previously spoken out against European Union laws curbing the capacity of crypto. He has also pointed to the necessity of banking infrastructure to evolve in order to keep up with the growth of cryptocurrencies. Chowdhury was also in the news for his crypto donations to Ukraine. He has also supported cryptocurrencies being included in 401(k) plans.

The concept of DAOs should be disruptive to a number of existing organizational structures unleashing a slew of reactions, many of which would be backed by valid reasons. “Nevertheless, DAOs are the future of organizations and will be welcomed by a vast section of the population, for their trustless and transparent functioning,” concluded Chowdhury.
