OCEAN Restoring Bitcoin Mining Decentralization

Bitcoin Ocean,LLC

OCEAN, a leader in Bitcoin mining-pool innovation, is proud to announce the launch of DATUM (Decentralized Alternative Templates for Universal Mining), a revolutionary decentralized mining protocol designed to restore the original ethos of Bitcoin mining. DATUM empowers miners to reclaim control over block template construction, ensuring the Bitcoin network remains secure, decentralized, and resistant to centralization threats such as financial censorship. OCEAN’s lead investor and decentralization advocate Jack Dorsey applauded the news saying “Continued decentralization and permissionless mining are essential for Bitcoin’s long term health. OCEAN's latest innovation with DATUM makes decentralization easier for modern miners." What is DATUM? Bitcoin mining has drifted from its decentralized origins. Today, large mining pools dominate the creation of block templates—the structure that determines which transactions are included in a block. This concentration of power undermines the security and legitimacy of the Bitcoin network. DATUM changes that by giving individual miners, not pools, the ability to construct their own block templates while still participating in a pool for consistent rewards. Similar to Stratum V2 (Sv2), DATUM is designed to decentralize block construction and restore control to individual miners. Jason Hughes, VP of Engineering at OCEAN and author of the DATUM codebase, commented “DATUM is a leap forward in decentralized mining, making true mining available for everyone with as little friction as possible. It enables miners to be actual solo miners and to do all of the things miners were always intended to do for the Bitcoin network, while still reducing their variance through pooled rewards. The codebase is written in C. It is extremely lightweight and portable so it can easily run alongside a Bitcoin full node.” Why Does This Matter? With large pools now controlling more than 50% of Bitcoin’s hash rate, the network faces a serious centralization risk. This raises the possibility of transaction censorship, weakening the very foundation of Bitcoin. DATUM provides a solution by decentralizing block construction, helping to prevent 51% attacks and ensuring Bitcoin remains a free and open system. "The launch of DATUM is a pivotal moment for the Bitcoin mining community. We’re moving block creation back to the individual miners, just as it was intended in the original whitepaper," said Luke Dashjr, Co-founder of OCEAN. "With DATUM, we’re ensuring the security and decentralization of the Bitcoin network, safeguarding its future." About OCEAN: OCEAN is dedicated to advancing the decentralization of Bitcoin mining through innovative technology and cutting-edge solutions. With a focus on preserving Bitcoin’s original principles, OCEAN is committed to creating a secure, sustainable, and decentralized mining ecosystem.

WiSA's Datavault Technology Launches Academic Credential Verification Platform For Universities, Aims To Licence 20-30 To Institutions By 2025

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga The number of students graduating with either a bachelor’s, master’s or Ph.D. degree continues to increase, with over 2 million students graduating with a bachelor’s degree in 2022 and over 1 million students graduating with either a master’s degree or Ph.D. With more individuals attaining post-secondary education, the importance and need for ‘accreditation validation’ is growing. WISA’s (NASDAQ: WISA) Datavault technology offers a turnkey solution that universities and other stakeholders can utilize to verify academic credentials. Data Vault Holdings, which is under a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell its Datavault® and ADIO® IP and IT assets to WiSA, recently launched VerifyU, a platform developed in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU) and its Luminosity Lab. VerifyU utilizes blockchain and artificial intelligence to provide secure, real-time academic credential verification. The platform's value proposition is its ability to efficiently verify and confirm the qualifications of individuals to stakeholder entities – such as educational institutions and prospective employers – or professional peer groups, such as research fellows. ASU’s Luminosity Lab, a think tank incubator dedicated to advancing technology and innovation, is VerifyU's inaugural partner. WiSA believes the platform’s focus on secure, efficient credential verification for students and external stakeholders resonates strongly with ASU as an academic institution. Executive Director of the ASU Knowledge Enterprise Mark Naufel stated: "VerifyU sets a new standard for secure, seamless credential verification that meets the essential needs of both educational institutions and employers. Our collaboration with Datavault has created a platform that combines academic institutions with practical, scalable solutions. VerifyU is helping to bring a much welcome change in the way academic credentials are verified by ensuring data integrity, reducing time and lowering costs for all parties involved." The global education verification service market is currently experiencing growth. In 2023, it was valued at $110 billion. By 2030, it is projected to reach $177 billion. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% over 2024-2030. Current verification processes are often inefficient and vulnerable to fraud – research suggests that as many as 70% of job applicants provide false information on their resumes. VerifyU seeks to address this issue by offering real-time, secure verification of educational credentials, ultimately reducing both the time and cost associated with traditional verification methods and enhancing the process for employers, graduate schools and other interested parties. In monetizing the platform, Datavault aims to license VerifyU to 20 to 30 educational institutions by 2025, with the aim of revolutionizing the verification of academic qualifications. The initial contract with ASU is just the beginning of a broader rollout and will demonstrate how the platform can generate administrative cost savings and revenue. Additionally, VerifyU plans to charge students a one-time fee for lifetime access to the platform. WiSA’s Datavault promises to transform the landscape of academic credential verification in universities through the launch of VerifyU. By leveraging innovative blockchain and AI technologies, the initiative aims to provide a more reliable and efficient verification process, paving the way for partnerships with multiple educational institutions in the coming years. With the potential to save time and money, VerifyU could be set to become an essential tool for the growing number of graduates seeking employment and higher education opportunities.

Amesite Reports Its NurseMagic App Is Ramping Up Users As Social Media Attention Goes Viral, Company Inks More Health Professional Business Deals

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Many nurses and caregivers are stressed out and overworked, leading to high turnover and big shortages. This is of particular concern in the home healthcare arena, where more than 1 in 4 nurses plan to leave the profession by 2027. The ones who stay need more support, and thousands are finding it with Amesite’s (NASDAQ: AMST) NurseMagic™, a proprietary AI app designed for nurses. The app is capable of quickly creating nursing notes, a requirement for professionals ranging from CNAs and LPNs to APRN-CNPs and NPs and a daily shift task which Amesite says takes up 40% of nurses' time. Caregivers can also use the app to explain medical procedures in easy-to-understand language, create work emails, give guidance on patient and family communication, provide coaching on taking wellness breaks during the day, provide key information about medications and more. Fast Growing Usership And Five-Star Reviews NurseMagic | AI Tools for Nurses leverages Amesite’s cloud infrastructure and expertise in AI integrations and AI-powered features. Amesite entered the market with its Amesite Engage platform and reports that it has accelerated customer acquisition after streamlining its infrastructure to deliver systems at very low incremental cost. Now Amesite reports that it is signing with community colleges across the country that are tapping Amesite to train the workers of tomorrow. The company reports being encouraged by its no-setup-fee model, which was followed by the signing seven new community college deals across the U.S. With that experience, it was only natural that Amesite would pivot into healthcare. After all, there are more than five million nurses and an additional 3.9 million home health workers in the country, and surveys support the strong need for more support among nurses and healthcare professionals. Within eight weeks of its beta stage debut, NurseMagic witnessed triple-digit monthly growth driven in part by its presence on social media. Amesite has engaged with prominent influencers including Paige Slayton, Nurse Cynesse, Nurse Tara and Nurse Hailey. Combined, that gives Amesite access to over three million followers. The engagement with Nurse Hailey alone was responsible for a 27% increase in users. From June to July the app has seen 830% growth in registered users. NurseMagic also recently debuted in the Apple App Store, charting at #33 in the medical category after only four weeks in the store and garnering five-star reviews. The app is now being used by nurses and healthcare professionals in all 50 states and six countries. “The 27% increase in users following the most recent social post demonstrates both the incredible impact of influencers voicing the capabilities of NurseMagic and the power of the app itself,” said Madison Bush, Corporate Operations and Marketing Manager at Amesite. “Charting for the first time after only a few weeks in the App Store is incredibly exciting and validates the utility of NurseMagic as a mobile tool for a wide variety of healthcare professionals.” Amesite says a big driver of user engagement is the accuracy and speed of the app. The company reports that it relies on qualified data sources that have proven to be accurate and reliable. It uses this data to train its more than 20 proprietary AI models to ensure performance – and adds an average of five new features per week. At last check, Amesite indicated it has integrated more than 100 APIs into its company tech stack, including connections to government databases, authentication services, payment gateways and AI-powered tools. The app’s models have also demonstrated 93% accuracy when tested against NCLEX test questions. The NCLEX exam is a standardized exam developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) that nursing graduates must pass to obtain their nursing licenses in the United States and Canada. Amesite reports feedback from customers has “been extremely positive.” 15X ROI For Enterprise NurseMagic Customers It’s not just individual nurses that are interested in NurseMagic. A variety of healthcare professionals are using NurseMagic, with Amesite recently announcing the launch of pilot programs in five home health agencies and skilled nursing facilities across the United States. Amesite said that collectively, these companies and their franchisees have over 30,000 employees providing skilled nursing, hospice care and home healthcare. The latter is a large and growing sector in need of support. Home healthcare is valued at $100 billion today and is projected to grow to $176 billion by 2032. It's also an area that is seeing job growth of about 21% per year through 2032, presenting a lucrative opportunity for Amesite. The company estimates that its customers will achieve a whopping 15X ROI with its product, based on the expected increase in efficiency of workers using the app and expected pricing. “We anticipate very significant quarter-to-quarter revenue increases with NurseMagic,” said Amesite founder and CEO Dr. Ann Marie Sastry. “For less than 2% of the cost of wages, our technology can make this entire workforce at least 30% more productive, while simultaneously improving the quality of patient care. Because of the efficiency of our systems, we believe that we can do so at highly attractive margins that enable sustained growth.“ As of May 10, 2024, the company reported it had $3 million of cash in hand and 10 months of burn on hand, even assuming no new revenue, reflecting its liquidity position. The company is bullish on building revenue through its B2B and B2C NurseMagic products, while simultaneously continuing to offer its higher education platform at low incremental cost. The company reported a reduction in SG&A of nearly 50% YOY from FY22 to FY24 and expects to continue finding efficiencies. Nurses are in demand as acute turnover continues to concern the industry, and many of them are in need of some support – and NurseMagic offers that support. It seeks to tap an unmet need and help meet it with an assist from AI. To learn more about the app and Amesite, click here. Featured photo by PeopleImages.com - Yuri A on Shutterstock.

DB Schenker collaborates with Microsoft Cloud Logistics on low carbon intercontinental transportation and sustainable logistics

DB Schenker

DB Schenker is collaborating with Microsoft Cloud Logistics for the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Sustainable Marine Fuel (SMF), highlighting their collective ambition to comprehensively reduce the environmental footprint of their transportation practices. This pivotal effort also includes building best-in-class logistics warehouses and implementing alternative energy trucks. It signifies an important step towards reducing the carbon emissions associated with their logistics operations (Scope 3) compared to transportation associated with conventional fossil-based fuels and thus supports their overarching environmental sustainability goals. Jochen Thewes, CEO of DB Schenker: “Microsoft and DB Schenker, that’s two global leaders united to reduce emissions in transportation and logistics. Our cooperation is expected to demonstrate that significant CO 2 e-savings are feasible already in today’s intercontinental supply chains. The upgrade of the Netherlands warehouse to BREEAM Excellent status and the Illinois, United States SuperHub receiving the LEED Platinum Certification are prime examples of our dedication to paving the way for more sustainable and innovative logistics solutions.” Cliff Henson, CVP of Microsoft Cloud Supply Chain: “Microsoft Cloud Logistics is committed to leading the way in sustainable logistics. Our collaboration with DB Schenker has enabled the development of cutting-edge sustainable warehouses along with innovative fuel strategies across all modes of freight, exemplifying our dedication to setting industry standards in the logistics environmental sustainability arena. These efforts mark a significant step forward in our efforts to reduce our environmental impacts in line with Microsoft’s 2030 sustainability commitments.” Sustainable Aviation and Maritime Fuels will be procured by DB Schenker and allocated to Microsoft Cloud Logistics’ inbound Air and Ocean shipments, and is anticipated to result in a reduction of at least 15.000 t of CO 2 e-emissions per year. In March 2024, DB Schenker also implemented the use of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO or Renewable Diesel) for all ocean shipments traveling from California to Texas. In addition, DB Schenker has extended its environmental sustainability efforts with Microsoft Cloud to land transport in Europe and North America with HVO100 fueling stations and electric vehicles. Furthermore, advanced logistics warehouses, designed to streamline operations and enhance network efficiency while minimizing environmental impact using renewable energies, are at the heart of DB Schenker and Microsoft Cloud’s collaborative efforts. DB Schenker and Microsoft Cloud Logistics’ facility in Illinois, United States achieved LEED Platinum-certification, which is the highest level of certification granted by the U.S. Green Building Council and demonstrates DB Schenker's leadership in environmental and community stewardship. In addition to the SuperHub in the United States, Microsoft Cloud Logistics’ Netherlands warehouse carries the BREEAM Certificate Level “Excellent,” thus ensuring these warehouses meet high standards of energy efficiency, minimizing environmental impact, and enhancing occupant well-being.
