5 of the most delusional block-projects, from saving bees to time machines
Traveling in time, worms that eat the purest foods, synchronized meditation and other projects – Coininsider prepared a selection of five of the most crazy ideas on the basis of the blockade. We bring to your attention the translation of this remarkable list.
Who would have thought that the blockade was not only an advanced technology, but also an opportunity to raise funds for seemingly absolutely fantastic undertakings? However, the most surprising is not even the ideas themselves, but the fact that many of them get development, find followers and gain confidence among retail investors.
Rescue the bees with BUZZcoin
It's no secret that bees are wonderful insects, because they make honey. However, the population of bees for various reasons is decreasing.
Perhaps, there is nothing strange in the fact that there was a group of people who decided to help the bees by common efforts. It's strange that they needed a blockade and their own crypto-currency for this.
The concept is as follows :
The BUZZcoin team intends to create a global data network that will collect information about the health of the hive using blocking technology. The project specialists developed two technical solutions – BUZZcoin Hive Mind Device (BC-HMD) and Queen Middleware Masternode (BC-QMM).
It is assumed that bee owners will use these devices to collect data on the status of hives in real time – for a reward in BUZZ coins.
As of the end of September, devices are ready for 90% (as reported on the site), and testing is scheduled for the third quarter of 2018, which is almost completed. Readers interested in the project can track his status on Twitter .
It's unclear whether the efforts will appreciate the bees themselves, and it's also unclear why BUZZ-coins are needed in this whole story, but the creativity of the creators deserves to include the project in the list.
Synchronous Meditation
In the field of blockade and technology in general, the maxim "we will change the world for the better" can justify the existence of any product. However, the HUMENA team understands this slogan literally: its participants developed the concept of a revolutionary system on a detachment designed for synchronized meditation, prayer and entertainment. The system is designed to "increase the capabilities of the human body and contribute to mental and physical well-being".
According to the white paper of the project, HUMENA uses accurate time synchronization (up to milliseconds) among all participants using GPS signals, "atomic clocks" (whatever that means) and private blockade. Numerous methods of "activation of the mind", including "imposition of rhythm", stimulators of attention, positive messages and signals from the environment are used. The goal of all this is to improve the mood.
All methods are mutually reinforcing and, as allegedly proven, generate "a unique user experience". As of January 2018, the HUMENA team negotiated with major meditation clubs, which includes more than 2 million people. The progress of the project can be monitored on its website .
Worms on the blockroom
Let's say right away that this project could not develop as planned by its creator. But, since the idea is eccentric, he found a place in the ranking. So, HealthyWorm ("Healthy worm"). The project site does not work, but the archive screenshots give an idea of how it looked.
HealthyWorm was developed by a team from Wisconsin. For the cultivation of super-cuts, selective products were used. Grown at home with an adjustable climate, these worms were designed to be "excellent pet food and bait for fishing."
The creators claimed that they did not use polycarbonates harmful to pets during the cultivation process. Those wishing to support the project were offered WORM coins, for which it was possible to purchase worms.
Recently, the founder of the project changed its direction dramatically, began to engage in cloud mining, which was discussed by users of the Bitcointalk forum. It remains only to hope that the worms are still alive and well.
The project of a time machine on which one can go for crypto-currencies. More precisely, the whole bus
In the description of the project, which sounds particularly comical, given the nature of the product, it is said:
Wirelesscoin will be one of the few crypto currencies that have potential for use in the real world, unlike other coins that are exclusively for trading. Our coin is different in that it will be used as a "fuel" of the time travel bus – this is a uniquely real scenario of using crypto currency!
Among the team members are Roberto Transpotime21bus, the founder and the "boss of time", the "minister of research and science" and the "impossibility terminator" Sherm77, the "coordinator of news and forums" Madmats, he is also a "warrior not touched" and many other worthy gentlemen .
The project team intends to hire several groups of students studying theoretical physics so that young talents can help create a time travel scheme and the concept of the project as a whole. However, before creating the actual time machine, companies will also need to invest in garages, warehouses, materials, quantum computers, etc.
After creating a prototype and trial moving small objects into the future and the past, similar tests will be conducted with the participation of animals and volunteer people.
If successful, the next stage is the creation of a bus, in which up to 30 people can travel simultaneously in time. Although all the above concepts are 100% deserving a place on this list, this is the author's favorite favorite.
Liberation of mankind from financial oppression
ZenVow (the name can be conditionally translated as "Enlightenment") at first glance is similar to the second project (meditative), but the founders went much further, offering a sophisticated reward system for "breathing exercises, meditation and yoga practice with the help of blockade technology."
The mission of the project is to save mankind from the control of the financial system that "forces people to do what they have to do."
The project promises those who are under pressure from outside, the opportunity to give up work that does not help them or the planet. Once freed, people will be able to turn to a new system that financially rewards activities such as yoga or meditation.
This works as follows: after the user completes their breathing exercises or the yoga / meditation session, the application verifies it using a series of indicators, including location data from the inertial measuring device, biometric breathing data collected by the ZenVow sensor, information from personal user accounts etc.
After all this, the user receives a reward in ZenVow coins. They can be spent or exchanged for Fiat or any other currency, as well as buy goods and services on them.
The project team intends to create ZenVow Meditation Resort in the future, a "meditation resort" that will function as a proof of concept for future similar "resorts" around the world. The residents of such centers are promised access to housing, organic products and clean water in exchange for ZenVow Coin or any other currency.
Do not you think that all these projects could form the basis of the new series of the "Black Mirror"? Perhaps it would be great.
