Thus, they created Homeport, a decentralized ground station network architecture that captures data from the satellites and sells it at the data marketplace. With Homeport as decentralized platform, the idea is to open up satellite data market and build trust between involved parties using smart contracts.

The basic presumption and vision behind initiatives and projects like Homeport is, if satellites collect data, all that data should be given back to us so we can use it in a meaningful way: to track weather calamities, to do agriculture management and so on. So, as Zdravko concludes - a network that allows for more flexible interaction between satellite stations, satellite operators and other entities that foresee satellite data - we can have much quicker and cheaper dissemination of data. And thus, better distribution of the data and more users.

After short introduction recap, Luka and Ivan tackle some of the challenges the gig economy has to face. Thus, coming to the obvious problems such as high fees, the possibility to manipulate data and money, but also inability to solve client vs. freelancer disputes. And there comes the blockchain - to make it right where there is a possibility to do wrong. Whether it's lack of trust or censorship issues, blockchain's smart contracts can be an unbiased mediator between involved parties.

One great example is Cryptotask, Croatian blockchain startup which has been developing decentralized freelance market platform. With the CTO, Vladimir Kajic and Ivan Nanut we discuss the possibilities to revolutionize job market with blockchain, their centralized and decentralized competitors and the upcoming launch.

• Participants (in exchanging process) are not trusting each other.
• You have an underlying need for automatization of trust and governance.
• You have an underlying need for censorship resistance.

Only when you have that kind of situation you will have true and proper utilization of blockchain technology in solving real-life problems. Through Starfleet, æternity tries to help blockchain startups find their 'true' reason why they want to build their solution on top of the blockchain. To make sure they do it properly, the first week of the accelerator is very, very rough and tough. Luka, with the rest of æternity team, tries to compress as much knowledge as possible and ask awkward questions they are afraid to ask themselves. Some of them do not make it alive, some make it quite well.

For conclusion, Luka and Ivan discuss what are the traits of the teams that stay, endure and excel. Few good examples come from Crypto task (Croatia), Homeport (Bulgaria) and Cryptic Legends (Serbia).

There are some more advanced techniques and methods that helped nowadays scammers to extend their frauds to various types of fields. One of them being the world of ICOs. As Luka goes into details, it all started during high peak craze, early 2017. when people realized ICOs are a super efficient way to raise money. As much there were diligent and hardworking people who just wanted to fund their business there were many more bad people who used the opportunity in this pretty unregulated field. Thus, the ICOs were forever branded.

However, Ivan and Luka want to believe, like many others, there is a way to demystify blockchain and cryptocurrencies. First thing is to educate people and second is to lobby by any means the necessity of regulation.

Luka's advice for every hyped BC newbie: If it sounds too shady - it probably is. If it sounds too good to be true and someone promises you infinite and fast returns - you will probably lose money. Those are definitely some common sense statements that can help you be more careful with ICO's and cryptocurrencies in general.

Law and blockchain, if you read about the early days of bitcoin one might think it was a wild Wild West. Complete lawlessness, chaos and anarchy. No government regulated it until very recently and there were some very nasty stories that you could read about it. Today, we have somewhat better examples, there is number of countries that really went forward to make crucial changes. Balkan is trying it's best to follow. How well it does? You will hear more from our special guest in this episode - Georgi Matev, attorney and law consultant at aeternity with substantial experience in the field of civil law, especially ICT and corporate law (and of course, big blockchain enthusiast).

Episode number 11 is upon us, and this time we're bustin' some myths! Luka and Ivan talk about energy consumption of cryptocurrency mining and the idea that it's extremely wasteful and bringing us closer to the end of the world. This, of course, isn't true, and every miner you ask is probably going to tell you that the main goal of mining is to use as little energy as possible, thus ensuring higher profit margins for themselves.

You'll also be hearing more about how blockchain technology can improve sustainable energy efforts and disrupt the extremely large energy market by helping smaller energy cooperatives work more efficiently. Ivan also talks with the Croatian startup AMPnet who aims to do exactly that, and finds out what motivated them to dive into the energy market.

They certainly agree DEXes are definitely a way to change that, however - what future of crypto really brings - time will tell.

You will also hear more about the disadvantages and advantages of DEX from this episodes guest, Tito Titov, CEO of weiDEX, decentralized exchange DApp ecosystem. Tito shared his own history with the decentralized exchanges and how he decided to make one of his own.

Also, BC folks, watch out for BlockSplit conference in Split. From 25th to 26th of April you will have a chance to hear many good speakers and experts from all around the region. This year's program is focused on DAO and Defi, but you won't miss out on many more topics concerning well know projects, talks about latest technologies and quality workshops. Make sure to check out the program and grab your tickets asap!

Airbnb disrupted the travel industry before some time but we still face challenges. Especially concerning the issues around us relying on centralized service to provide for our interest, whether we are the host or the tourist. Many of today's booking services are acting like the middle-man in the booking process making more expenses for both sides. That is exactly where blockchain shines: eliminating the middle-man and therefore, the need for the commission.

Besides from Luka's and Ivan's conversation, we also learned more about how blockchain can make changes for the travel industry from our guest, Hristo Tenchev of Locktrip, a blockchain & fiat powered marketplace for hoteliers and landlords. Hristo told us a few details about their early starts with the blockchain technology and how he and his partner used their accumulated knowledge to found Locktrip.

Ivan and Luka in the new Blockchain from the Bloc(k) episode again, together, tackling them questions.

This week we have a guest on the show! It is Gregor Storman, CEO of Honeycomb Colony, who joined in with his perspective as the founder of a startup that is directly concerned with questions of data's 'sharing economy'. Especially the data that would be collected from the IoT devices. Thus, Gregor offers an insight on how we can use blockchain technology to safely restore data to the hands of its owners, the consumer/users. That way only the person whose data is in question can make a final decision what to do with it - whether they will sell it, share it or toss it away.

Even so, bitcoin was a precedent to what we today understand as a decentralized way of transferring value from one end of the world to another - fast, secure and without intermediaries. As it continues to be one of the most important aspects of blockchain technology, Ivan and Luka discuss its potentials for the future of the blockchain adoption.

All that with our special guest to tell you inside story of their development experience, Nick Todorov - the CEO of Limechain.

However, as he elaborates further, with his insight from the Starfleet accelerator mentoring, there is great potential. Thus, it has become imperative to share experiences, knowledge, and connections to stretch out abilities of the region's talents for the greater good. 

This fifth episode is all about Balkan's blockchain potentials, especially the events, teams, and individuals that can make those changes and that have been giving their best all along.

Back in the day, Luka started mining with his old Mac Book Pro just to see how it works. Of course, Mac overheated and Luka earned some "monopoly money", as he called it. After that, he started to dig deeper about the mining, but most importantly, about the blockchain concept. He fell in love with Dogecoin and the rest is history.

Almost like that. Since the Dogecoin, a lot happened. Luka made a nice retrospective of the early examples of blockchain application that convinced him there is more to it than memes and coin.

Luka and Ivan conclude that we should not dismiss its possibilities because of the things we now have no solution for, but to shot for the long run and try our best to improve it day by day.

In our second episode, Luka and IBB talk about blockchain concept and the features that make blockchain technology such a great tool to change existing economic, social and political processes for better.

Many of those still operate with great risks for average user/voter/consumer. However, the properties of blockchain, such as transparency, decentralization, security, and rapid flow can achieve optimization for all parties in the process.

In our first episode, Luka and IBB discuss the Starfleet blockchain accelerator for startups building applications on the æternity platform. For more info about application, click on this link and apply now - the deadline is 17 February!
