Earn money with Bitcoin https://bit.ly/2TceHl3
Microsoft is taking its secret platform for creating tokens similar to bitcoin out for a test drive. The software giant, which was among the first to accept bitcoin for payment, has created a mint for issuing a wide range of crypto assets. Several companies, including a video game outfit and a virtual reality platform, have already used the mint to create a number of experimental assets while others like General Electric are waiting in the rafters to create their own. As of today anyone can apply to preview the technology.
Called Azure Blockchain Tokens, the crypto-assets mint lets enterprises, or anyone really, design, issue and manage a wide range of assets, which like bitcoin, can be proved to exist only in one place at a time, making them much more difficult to forge and much easier to audit. Whereas bitcoin is comparable to fungible assets like money or gold, Azure Blockchain Tokens will come in many flavors, including non-fungible bonds, documents and tickets.
The companies using the technology are mostly relying on a permissioned version of the ethereum blockchain that uses Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing to reach a consensus on transactions. But in the future developers will be able to use Azure Blockchain Tokens on the public ethereum blockchain or even at distributed ledgers created by some of Microsoft’s own competitors.
