Dragonchain Announces: Captured Time Lending Contracts:

The Dragonchain team has completed the Master Time Ledger, a ledger that keeps track of all DDSS debits and credits across accounts within the Dragonchain Platform. This milestone has opened the door to new possibilities within the Dragonchain ecosystem. Now the team announces the first service built on top of the Master Time Ledger: Captured Time Lending Contracts, designed with enterprise developers in mind.

Enterprise developers looking to spin up a Level 1 Node traditionally needed to purchase Dragons and wait for 1,000,000 DDSS to accrue. With the launch of CTLC, enterprise developers can now skip the wait and gain instant access to spin up a Level 1 node today.

Starting today Dragonchain users are now able to help grow the Dragonchain ecosystem by lending out their DDSS to enterprise developers looking to build their blockchain solution on the Dragonchain platform. Log in to your Dragonchain Dashboard and select CTLC from the list of services. There is limited space available, so the team asks interested users to generate a contract today at console.dragonchain.com

If you’d like to utilize Dragonchain’s secure hybrid blockchain for your business, contact them to start building today.

The Benefits of Blockchain and Why You Should Care by Chris Jones, Dragonscale: video.

“2017 was the year that Bitcoin became “a thing” on a global scale and blockchain became a buzzword that opened doors to millions of dollars in investment. But with all of the attention the last 2 years have brought, very few people actually understand what blockchain is, the benefits it can deliver and why those of us working in the space are so excited about its future. In this talk we’ll go beyond the headlines driving the news about crypto and blockchain and delve into what’s actually happening on the ground in the blockchain world today.”

CTO Paul Sonier and President of Dragonscale Chris Jones are presenting at the Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology event. Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport, Seattle, Washington.

Reddit- Dragonchain community questions answered: questions from the Dragonchain community on Telegram answered by Dragonchain CEO Joe Roets. Here are these three questions:

1.Estimate on new roadmap date? — Hope before end of the year, but worst case in early January.

2.Estimate on automated adoption metrics for Takara? — Hoping to get it out before the end of year, but it may be January as well.

3.And estimate on when Takara pricing will be honored in the official Dragonchain merch store? — I’d have to look at the dev schedule. I know that we need to integrate the merch acct to take CC and we’re changing provider or bank IIUC.
