BOScoins presale in the domestic market    already gathered over 2,000BTC (approximately 2 million USD)    during a two month period.  <\/p>\n<p>    *BOScoin - A    congressional decentralized cryptocurrency platform for Trust    Contracts based on ontology language and timed automation.  <\/p>\n<p>    Yezune Choi, the BlockchainOS CTO and General Executive    Director, outlines the current state of blockchain, \"There are    two primary issues that need to be solved in the cryptocurrency    and blockchain fields. The first issue is the integrity of the    Dapps (Decentralized Applications) on the blockchain. The    second issue is the consensus mechanism needed for confirming    data on the blockchain and the decision making process for    revising policies implemented in the core blockchain algorithm.    We have been working on these core problems for over 2 years    and are now opening our research to the public.  <\/p>\n<p>    BOScoin, Trust    Contracts and the Congress Network operate on top of the    alternative blockchain called OWLchain. By the OWLchains    integration of ontology language and timed automata into    blockchain, the BOScoin and Trust Contracts will serve as    digital currency and smart contract with inherent security    assurance. And governance through the Congress Network ensures    that adequate proposals on blockchain will be discussed and    applied within desired time.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Currency     BOScoin  <\/p>\n<p>    BOScoin is a fixed supply cryptocurrency that will be issued    over the next 141 years. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, BOScoin    sends a portion of the coins issued to a public account called    the Commons Budget. Coins held in the Commons Budget can be    used through the voting system to decide on future BOScoin    policies. And since voting right is given to only the node    operators who invested in the coin, the funds from the Commons    Budget are likely to be used for the betterment of the coin.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Currencys    Programming Framework  Trust Contracts  <\/p>\n<p>    Trust Contracts are pre-defined programs or rules that users    can create. Similar to Ethereum, the BOScoin team is also    aiming to create a general purpose language on top of the    blockchain so anyone can write, upload, and execute contracts.    However, BOScoins approach is technically different from    Ethereum. The BOScoin team believes security is the most    important principle for smart contracts on the blockchain. As    decentralized systems become more complex, these systems are    bound to make mistakes and break. The failure of DAO project    from Ethereum is the exact case of it.  <\/p>\n<p>    BOScoin Team believes in importance of being cautious when    dealing with digital assets. This is the reason they carefully    selected the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and TAL, the timed    automata language, for the development of Trust Contracts. By    using OWL and TAL for building contracts, due to the nature of    the languages, the Trust Contracts can be mathematically proven    to be trustworthy and operate without any unintended    consequences.  <\/p>\n<p>    Decision Making    System  Congress Network  <\/p>\n<p>    The Congress is the governance system inside the BOScoin    platform. Many decentralized organizations suffer from a poor    decision making process. This is why in BOScoin, all node    operators are given a vote to decide on how to distribute the    Commons Budget. With this vote, node operators can accept or    deny proposals brought up from within the community. Anyone can    make proposals for using BOScoin. BOScoin believes this kind of    democratic system is key to sustaining and growing BOScoin.  <\/p>\n<p>    Learn more about the BOScoin ICO at <a href=\"https:\/\/boscoin.io\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/boscoin.io<\/a>    .  <\/p>\n<p>    Related Links  <\/p>\n<p>    Whitepaper :  <\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boscoin.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/boscoinwhitepaperv20170202.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.boscoin.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/boscoinwhitepaperv20170202.pdf<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    Bitcointalk : <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic=1759662.msg17777617#msg17777617\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic=1759662.msg17777617#msg17777617<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    Slack : <a href=\"https:\/\/boscoin.slack.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/boscoin.slack.com<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    Facebook : <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/boscoinio\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/facebook.com\/boscoinio<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    Twitter : <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/boscoin_ico\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/boscoin_ico<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    Reddit : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/boscoin\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/boscoin<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    Medium : <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/boscoin\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/medium.com\/boscoin<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    View source version on    businesswire.com: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20170216005500\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20170216005500\/en\/<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    MULTIMEDIA AVAILABLE:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20170216005500\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20170216005500\/en\/<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read the original:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/boscoin-cryptocurrency-introduces-trust-contracts-130000869.html\" title=\"BOScoin, a New Cryptocurrency, Introduces &quot;Trust Contracts&quot; to Overcome the Shortcomings of Ethereum Smart ... - Yahoo Finance\">BOScoin, a New Cryptocurrency, Introduces &quot;Trust Contracts&quot; to Overcome the Shortcomings of Ethereum Smart ... - Yahoo Finance<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BlockchainOS, a blockchain technology company in Korea, announced the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) of BOScoin* from April 17th, 2017 to May 31st, 2017.
