Development

Last week, while continuing with the testing of iteration 0, the dev team started system design for iteration 1.

Architecture Design

Core dev team of DeepBrain Chain had two discussions with the DeepBrain AI team, about under what circumstances AI companies would want to use the DBC network for automatic AI deployment, AI training tasks and AI group training tasks and what specifically they would want the network to have;

DeepBrain AI team would switch to the DBC network all their training tasks, as the blockchain network’s first use case. This will help us build use cases and generalize them to fit all AI companies, to create a closed loop that satisfies all AI training needs;

Discussions with Dr. Zhou Bin, former NVIDIA Fellow and a top AI expert, about AI and data encryption security requirements and relevant technologies;

Design of iteration 1: finishing design of the AI training system and optimizing the design of the P2P network properties;

Discussions about computing power cheating and the design of data encryption schemes;

Testing

Finishing the first round of testing of iteration 0, including tests on its functionality, performance, anomaly and protocol and multi-platform testing;

Testing when a single node has more than 5000 concurrent TCP connections, with plans to test when that figure exceeds 100,000 during the second round of testing;

Identifying an unlikely occurrence of thread block when existing abnormally, analyzing and debugging it;

Development

Finishing the third round of code review for iteration 0;

Optimizing validity verification of the configuration file to improve the robustness of the system;

Optimizing TCP NIO scheduling function to improve the robustness of the system.

Highlights

DeepBrain Chain was invited to visit the Korean exchange Coinchel, the two had an in-depth discussion

DeepBrain Chain’s team is visiting Coinchel and the two are having a discussion

Last Friday (16th, March) DBC team was invited to visit Korean exchange Coinchel’s offline sales network. From our understanding, Coinchel have reached 40,000 registered members in the short two weeks of their establishment. It is also the only exchange that has both online and offline sales network in Korea, with four physical shops opened at the moment.

During the visit, CEO of Coinchel (far right) explained the development plan of Choinchel, their tech background and the current trend and rationale of the Korean government’s regulation plans. The CEO pointed out that although the scale of Coinchel is still relatively small at the moment, they do however, comply with governmental regulations and has acquired the support of the local bank. They believe their member number will continue to grow. DBC’s CMO presented DeepBrain Chain’s project and our current status in development to the senior management team of Coinchel, as well as receiving some advice on how to enter and grow the Korean market.

This was an important stop during DBC’s Korean market research trip, and has given us precious insights into how we can build our Korean market. The two are going to keep a close relationship and will not rule out the possibility of working together in the future.

DBChain Foundation has decided to start a round of repurchase of 40 million DBC

DBChain Foundation made the repurchase announcement in the afternoon on March 16th PT. This reiterates DBC’s unmoving confidence in a global reach.

The overall reaction from our visitors was encouraging and positive.

For our future plans, we shared with the audience our ‘’AI+Blockchain’’ strategic planning and global community building plans. Starting from Q2 we will conduct small-scale internal testing; in Q3 we will carry out key users testing, release mining; in Q4 we will launch network beta testing and go online officially.
