HUMANODE FIRESIDE: BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION

One hour till the fireside talk about all things biometrics! 🔥
Join the team at 16:00 UTC in the official Humanode group: https://news.1rj.ru/str/humanodes

Dear Friends and Human nodes,

On Wednesday, as usual, we held our traditional Humanode Fireside live talk in our telegram’s voice chat. This fourth conversation was fully devoted to everything related to biometrics, and biometric authentication primarily.

ICYMI we have the recording for you.
Thank you everyone, who listened and participated. See you next time! Have a great weekend!

HUMANODE FIRESIDE: HUMAN-CENTRIC DECENTRALIZATION

Dear Friends and Human nodes,
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow in our telegram voice chat!
We’ll be talking about how everything is centralized both tradfi and current networks, and why in the first place the idea came to Humanode co-founders in 2017.

As usual, there will be a live talk between the team members first, and then a conversation with the community.

When?

HUMANODE FIRESIDE: HUMAN-CENTRIC DECENTRALIZATION

One hour till the fireside! 🔥
Join us at 16:00 UTC in the telegram voice chat here: https://news.1rj.ru/str/humanodes

Dear Friends and Human nodes,

On Wednesday, as usual, we held our traditional Humanode Fireside live talk in our telegram’s voice chat. This fifth conversation was fully devoted to human-centric decentralization. We talked about how everything is centralized both traditional finance and current networks, and why & how this idea of giving power to the people came to Humanode co-founders in 2017.

ICYMI we have the recording for you!
Thank you everyone, who listened and participated. See you next time! Have a great weekend!

Humanode in Simple Terms: What is Humanode?

Welcome to the intro episode of Humanode’s mini-series, HUMANODE 101 (or Humanode in Simple Terms).

In this video Shannon (@s9higgins) — Humanode Core member — goes over the most basic question of all. What is Humanode?

Enjoy!

Substrate, an overview

In our latest blog post, we discuss Substrate, which happens to be a great platform to build our network on. Substrate is a framework to build blockchains with a modular approach, thus enabling users to create purpose-built decentralized ledgers using custom or pre-build components.

Meet the people behind Humanode!
We are a diverse bunch of engineers, developers, and researchers building towards a decentralized future where one human = one node.

Our first interview features MOZGIII, Humanode's lead dev:

InFath? Homomorphic encryption? Liveness Detection? 🤔

If those sound confusing to you, don’t worry. We’ve made a list of all Humanode terms for easy reference: https://forum.humanode.io/t/glossary-list-of-humanode-terms/44

Humanode Dev Report

Some quick bullet points with our community to shed some light on the exciting development that our dev team has been up to!

Humanode Network
Rebuilding Substrate framework for the needs of the crypto-biometric protocol:
- Set up Humanode Peer rebuilding multiple pieces of the original lib;
- Added Substrate-based RPC system;
- Developed simple cryptographic primitives to process required cryptographic checks on different sides of our components;
- Developed custom pallet-bioauth for biometric authentication logic and integrated into Humanode Peer;
- Integrated Polka explorer that now shows the result of biometric authentication;
- Implemented Aura consensus.
- Set up the infrastructure to connect all the pieces of the Humanode Network and applications on top of it.

Humanode consensus protocol
Continued our work on creating a consensus scalable among thousands of nodes ready for EVM-compatibility:
- Implemented Snow family consensus protocols which work with blockchains: Slush, Snowflake and Snowball;
- Modeled several attacks;
- Developed two types of simulations (single thread vs. multiple threads);
- Visualized interaction of nodes;
- Started building a general testing framework.

Crypto-biometric search and matching and liveness algorithms
The Biothentification team entered the experimentation stage of cryptographically secure search and matching algorithm schemes created in-house.

Biweekly update on @Humanode

vol. 1, 25th June - 9th July

The rebuilding of the Substrate framework for the needs of the crypto-biometric protocol, The work on consensus continues, An interview with Lead Developer, Fireside discussion on crypto-biometrics, Project’s main features outlined in the latest 101 video, Humanode podcast launches, Glossary is out, and more!

Dear community members, it’s time for our first biweekly report on Humanode! The past two weeks were a part of a marvelous journey — so let’s have a short overview of news and events which are the main focus of the current report.
We never cease to wonder at the progress the Humanode teams have made in recent days! As part of the development update, they’ve shared what they’ve been working on at this stage.
First and foremost, the rebuilding of the Substrate framework for the needs of the crypto-biometric protocol is ongoing. These weeks, the development team set up Humanode Peer rebuilding multiple pieces of the original lib, added Substrate-based RPC system, developed simple cryptographic primitives to process required cryptographic checks on different sides of the components, as well as developed custom pallet-bioauth for biometric authentication logic and integrated into Humanode Peer. Furthermore, they integrated Polkascan explorer that now shows the result of biometric authentication, and implemented Aura consensus. What’s more, they set up the infrastructure to connect all the pieces of the Humanode Network and applications on top of it.
Currently, the team is creating a consensus scalable among thousands of nodes ready for EVM-compatibility. Over the last two weeks, we saw a great progress in this field as the team implemented Snow family consensus protocols which work with blockchains (Slush, Snowflake and Snowball), modeled several attacks, developed two types of simulations (single thread vs. multiple threads), visualized interaction of nodes, and started building a general testing framework.
While the Humanode dev team was busy working on the aforementioned tasks, the bio-authentication team entered the experimentation stage of cryptographically secure search and matching and liveness algorithm schemes created in-house. Big news is on the way!
Human nodes, if you’ve ever wondered who is developing the Humanode project, this secret has been partially revealed! The team began a series of interviews with Humanode researchers, engineers and devs. The first interview featured mysterious MOZGIII, experienced blockchain architect and Humanode’s lead developer. In this interview, MOZGIII discussed his background, privacy and future, the project’s journey and goals, described what kind of problems the Humanode team is trying to solve and what technical challenges they have to face while building towards a decentralized future where one human = one node, and why it is important. Check it out!
Last week, the sixth ‘Humanode Fireside’ took place. The team was talking about cryptography and biometric identification. Their special guest was Rafael, one of the core cryptographers in the Humanode project. Listen to this and all previous episodes on the brand new Humanode Podcast.
Moreover, Shannon Higgins, Humanode Core member, recorded an intro episode of ‘Humanode in Simple Terms’ video series. In this episode, he goes over the most basic question of all ‘What is Humanode?’ A must-watch!
On top of that, Humanode’s latest blog post discussed Substrate, which happens to be a great platform to build the Humanode network on, and the team made a list of all Humanode terms for easy reference in their freshly-published ‘Glossary’. Find the link in this report.
That’s a wrap! Should have some exciting news to share with you in the coming weeks!

Vortex, an overview

In our latest blog post, we discuss Vortex, and how Humanode Network's governance will be decentralized from the start. It's important to stress that the Vortex is based on 1 human = 1 node = 1 vote, and that no matter how much money or power a person has, his vote only has equal power to his peers in the system.

https://blog.humanode.io/vortex-an-overview/

Take the Vortex Quiz after reading the article! 🤓💯

Our vision is to create a stable and just financial system that relies on the existence of human life itself, one human = one node. And Fath will work as the monetary algorithm for it to happen.

HUMANODE FIRESIDE: BIOMETRIC OWNERSHIP

Dear Friends and Human nodes,

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow in our telegram voice chat! We’ll be talking about biometric ownership and everything related to it.

As usual, there will be a live talk between the team members first, and then a conversation with the community.
