Idea Box - acetronaut/wiki GitHub Wiki

Wiki Wishes

Google Calendar Plug In

It would be great to have a google calendar plug in, to have a comprehensive overview of meetups and events. There is a MediaWiki plug in available, but don't know if it's working.

Github wiki is not Mediawiki. Unlikely any plugins are supported here?

Subpages

In order to better structure the content in the wiki, subpages would be very useful. Plug In

Same as above - Mediawiki plugins not supporter on Github.

Using Mediawiki format?

Even though plugins are unlikely to be supported, the Mediawiki format is supported, see proposals on Bitcoin: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki

Migrating Zack's notes into wiki format

Over the months of development Zack has accumulated a lot of notes - https://github.com/aeternity/testnet/tree/master/docs - even though the folder name says docs it is more suited for wiki - a lot of use cases and great examples.

Use Case Ideas for æternity

Health & æternity

DocOræcle

A platform for everyone to get meaningful medical advice, no matter the infrastructure or insurance policy. A platform for questions too sensible or personal to ask a doctor in person. Answering questions and participating in the prediction markets created by the medical Oracles should only be accessible to doctors with digitally signed degree. [Furthermore Oracles may be fed information regarding symptoms diagnosis & can be combined with AI image recognition to offer diagnosis prediction.]

Use Case Flow

  1. Raise question
    • in a forum like interface, using æternity identity. Account info only revealed to professional who answers
  2. Get answer
    • An answer is provided in a state channel
  3. Ask follow up questions
    • follow up questions may be asked in private state channels
  4. test answers in oracle
    • any answer provided by the medical professional may be forwarded to an Oracle. The prediction market that emerges is open to professionals to reach a comprehensive diagnosis, comparable with visiting 20 doctors

Target audiences

  • persons struggling with sensible, personal medical problems or questions
    • person suffering from unknown medical condition
    • person in need of nutrition a advice
    • person in need of homeopathic advice
    • person suffering from psychological stress

Requirements

  • User interface
    • Question board and Oracle marketplace
  • æternity identity
  • working state channels
  • Pool of medicinal professionals
    • only they are allowed to answer questions and participate in oracle

Supply Chain Management

High-level concept of Supply Chain Management (SCM) automation with Smart Contracts, Prediction Markets, and Oracles. SCM automation (high level)

Prediction Markets

Prediction Markets (created with Oracles) are one of the most anticipated use cases for blockchains. They can make possible the harnessing of the wisdom of the crowds in a decentralized and transparent manner for the first time.

What's a Prediction Market?

What's and Oracle?

  • Digital Insurance Marketplace - 'Bond of Trust' flattened into a simple product based on prediction market odds, tradable on the digital marketplace to provide instant insurance by the hour.

Gaming

State channels can be used through special nodes to play games using æon (AE). Either single player games, between friends, or even total strangers. æternity will enable trust-less gaming applications, where no player puts his trust into the other's infrastructure or central servers, but into the state channels of the æternity Blockchain.

Dominant Assurance Contracts

Dominant Assurance Contract is a mechanism originally designed to provide public goods and funding public projects. It's a variant of smart-contracts where funds are collected and locked in the Dominance Assurance Contract. Part of the funds are locked for development and other parts for ROI for investors. Once a milestone is cleared and approved, several methods can be used to verify the completion including specific oracles, the contract will release the funds allocated to that specific milestone. If the milestone is not reached, investors get their investments with interests back.

This will enable a leap of transparency and trustless investment opportunities in ICOs and startups , where the investors funds are safe from mismanagement or fraud by the project's founders.

Micro- & Nano Payments

æternity will be the preferred Blockchain for the Micro and Nano payments. No other Blockchain now can match the speed that's provided by æternity's State channels.

Once such example of this use case is the rollout of hundreds of charging stations for electric cars using Ethereum in Germany. Innogy, a subsidiary of Germany’s energy giant RWE has added blockchain capabilities to their E2E Product using asset-backed Crypto-EURO for payments in charging stations for electric vehicles.

Because the idea here is for, eventually, the car itself to pay the charging station. How? The exact details would probably be closely guarded, but at a high level you can blockchainize the car, give it a smart contract, connect it to wi-fi, and write some code which orders it to pay if:then, while:else etc.

The only problem with other Blockchains solutions like Ethereum, is that storing all these micro-payments and contracts information on-chain will lead very soon to a bloating of the size of the chain, and render it virtually unusable. Here comes the æternity innovation, with State channels.
