Their latest smartphones will now support bitcoin in its Keystore Blockchain. Previously, Keystore only supported the Ethereum blockchain (and ERC20 tokens).

The Klaytn blockchain of Internet giant Kakao, written earlier this week, is also supported. With this, Samsung attracts the user base of Kakao applications in South Korea.
Until now, the keystore has a number of limitations in terms of scope. Support is limited to the latest smartphones: Galaxy S10e; S10; S10 +; S10 5G; Note10 and Note10 +.

And not unimportant: users in the Netherlands still cannot activate the functionality on their smartphone. Blockchain Keystore is only accessible to users in countries; Canada, Germany, Spain, UK, WE, South Korea and Switzerland.

There are currently 17 blockchain applications available in Keystore, which was launched earlier this year. Samsung is gradually expanding the store. For example, several dApps have recently been added. Unlike mobile applications, the use of (decentralized) applications is still in diapers. This is partly because there is still much to gain when it comes to interfaces and the ease of use of dApps, among others. Researchers at the marketing agency Zage recently concluded this in a report.

Samsung also competes with this functionality with other mobile wallets to store cryptocurrencies. Because your smartphone acts as a storage for your currencies and, therefore, your private keys, the secret keys of your crypto currency. Like an encryption grant, as a Samsung user, you assume the responsibility of managing your private keys. It depends on the security of Keystore, for example.

As soon as someone knows their private keys, the person will have control over their crypto currency. This means that the person can send them to a different address.

Huawei Introduces HarmonyOS, An Alternative To Google Android https://startupfortune.com/huawei-introduces-harmonyos-an-alternative-to-google-android/ https://startupfortune.com/huawei-introduces-harmonyos-an-alternative-to-google-android/#respond Sat, 10 Aug 2019 11:40:49 +0000 https://startupfortune.com/?p=382 On the first day of the 2019 developer conference organized by the company in Dongguan (southeastern China), Huawei ended months of rumors and speculation and presented the platform, which it is considering. to create your own software ecosystem. Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s consumer division, said it was necessary to have its own operating system to cope with the future challenges of the Internet of Things era.

Yu said that some of HarmonyOS ‘features had already been implemented in some of his smartphones and other high-end devices. With its new platform, which will be open source, Huawei aims to make the user experience fluid on all its devices. For the moment, according to the specialized media, the first device working with HarmonyOS will be a Honor TV, the second brand Huawei.

On July 30, during the presentation of Huawei’s half-yearly results, its chairman, Liang Hua, repeated that “yes the United States. allows us to use Android, it will always be our preference, but otherwise we have the opportunity to develop our operating system and its ecosystem.

However, at that time, Liang kept the mystery about the HarmonyOS unveiled today when asked if he was ready and if the phones launched in the coming months would integrate it: “You’ll see from your own eyes how well we are prepared at the time. ”

Information about Huawei’s own operating system – which the company reportedly developed for years, according to the local press – began to rise after Washington, in May, put the company on a list as a danger to its national security and vetoed its activities with US companies. This veto was temporarily and partially lifted in June, as part of the trade truce signed by US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

However, the resurgence of tariff disputes between Beijing and Washington suggests the future of relations between Huawei and Google. If the veto is still in effect, Huawei’s new devices will not be able to access Google or use apps developed by the US company, such as Google Play Store.

Russian Mobile Operators Join Forces To Help Find Missing People, With AI https://startupfortune.com/russian-mobile-operators-join-forces-to-help-find-missing-people-with-ai/ https://startupfortune.com/russian-mobile-operators-join-forces-to-help-find-missing-people-with-ai/#respond Fri, 09 Aug 2019 07:10:16 +0000 https://startupfortune.com/?p=360 Mobile operators have joined the search for missing persons: they offer rescuers high-tech tools to analyze aerial photographs based on neural networks, sending SMS via Big Data and other tools. VimpelCom and the Liza Alert squad are testing the analysis of photographs taken from drones, while Megafon is testing subscriber surveys that could see a missing person. Other operators are ready to offer their services to search engines. Cellular companies that have access to subscriber locations must assume social responsibility, experts are safe. The legislation on personal data is loyal to the use of personal information to search for missing persons, he explained to Izvestia in Roskomnadzor.

The search and rescue squad “Lisa Alert” is testing a technology that allows you to search for missing persons by passing photos taken from drones through a neural network of self-learning. About this “Izvestia” said the head of the management on the use of drones “Lisa Alert” Alexander Lomonosov. VimpelCom developed the solution to find people who use a neural network. The network is now being trained to distinguish between images in which people or objects remain from images in which they are not, he explained. According to Alexander Lomonosov, both staged photographs and shots taken by Lisa Alert during actual searches are used for training.

Until now, volunteers helped rescuers filter aerial photographs posted on a special website, Anna Aibasheva, representative of VimpelCom, told Izvestia. To verify about 2.5 thousand pictures (as many Lisa Alert drones generate per day of searches), 30 people needed to work for 5 to 7 hours, that is, 150 to 210 man hours, he says. According to her, the neural network filters these images with an accuracy of 98% for 1 to 2.5 hours, depending on the number of photos. The algorithm is set to work at any time of the year and can recognize any person’s clothes, including camouflage. The flight altitude of the drones can be up to 100 m, according to a company representative. In general, the system makes it possible to save 2.5 times the time spent by volunteers.

In June, Megafon and Lisa Alert tested a social search service based on Big Data. The conclusion is this: the operator receives the approximate coordinates of the place where the last person was seen and sends messages to his close subscribers with his description. A mailing list can contain from 30 messages to 1 thousand, said a representative of a cell phone company previously. Only subscribers who have agreed to receive newsletters receive offers of help, he emphasized. 200 shipments have already been made, explains an operator employee. In general, personal data legislation is loyal to the use of personal information to search for missing persons.

The introduction of the technology that the Odyssey won is scheduled for 2020, it follows from the description of the competition. To search for the missing, LTE-450 cell communication technology is promising: it will allow troops to connect in remote and inaccessible places, where there is no network coverage of other operators, said Tele2 spokeswoman Daria Kolesnikova. This is especially true during the mushroom and berry harvest season, when a record number of people are missing in the forests, she says.
