BitcoinOS Verifies First-Ever ZK Proof On Bitcoin Mainnet, Enabling Infinite Scaling And Functionality Without Forks

BitcoinOS (BOS) has verified the first zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) on the Bitcoin mainchain, enabling scalable and interoperable Bitcoin rollups without changing the base layer. This advancement allows for decentralized, trustless bridges and more efficient development, enhancing Bitcoin’s security and scalability.

Nashville, Tennessee – July 25, 2024

BitcoinOS (BOS), a superlayer protocol of trustless and interoperable Bitcoin rollups, has successfully verified the first-ever zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) on the Bitcoin mainchain, marking a groundbreaking technical milestone in crypto history. This was completed live on stage at Bitcoin 2024

The achievement unlocks unlimited scaling and functionality on Bitcoin without requiring additional changes to Bitcoin’s base layer. 

Edan Yago, core contributor to BitcoinOS said, “This is the first permissionless upgrade of the Bitcoin system and the first time Bitcoin has been upgraded without a soft fork. With BOS, the dependence on Bitcoin Improvement Proposals to introduce changes such as covenants to Bitcoin is massively reduced or, potentially, completely eliminated. This paves the way for more developers to build on Bitcoin more efficiently and enables true decentralization.” 

“We are proud to empower the industry to fulfill the original Bitcoin promise of a trustless peer-to-peer digital money system for the world, while forever remaining a decentralized, immutable, and secure bedrock of economic truth,” he adds. 

BitSNARK, BitcoinOS’ game-changing technology, is a software library for verifying zkSNARKs, a type of ZKP on Bitcoin, allowing developers to build layer-2 (L2) rollups. The BOS team has demonstrated that ZKPs enable users to create covenants – conditional payments that cannot execute unless the right cryptographic proof is provided. With this, developers can create near-trustless bridges for moving their BTC back and forth between Bitcoin mainchain and L2 rollups. 

Existing L2 models require users to trust a company or federation majority to protect their L2 BTC. With BOS, users only need to trust that one of potentially hundreds of members in a decentralized, dynamic operator set, behave honestly.

Under this model, all threats to the system, even from a coalition of nation-states, would be defeated by the system’s cryptographic assurances. 

BOS will be the ultimate implementation of a Bitcoin rollup system using a near-trustless rollup bridge, to which any number of rollups may connect, rather than acting as a single rollup. 

All rollups on BOS settle their transactions to Bitcoin together using ZK proofs verified by a shared and open operator set. Furthermore, every BitcoinOS rollup is seamlessly interoperable, meaning they can share their users, applications, liquidity, and functionality. Developers need not worry about whether they are building on the right Bitcoin L2 with enough liquidity and users, instead choosing the rollup environment best suited to their needs. For users, moving assets between rollups will feel effortless, as if they were only using one chain. 

“BOS solidifies Bitcoin as the world’s only ‘permaware’ – more reliable and permanent than any other chain or software,” said Yago. 

By combining Bitcoin’s unparalleled security and network effects with a modular L2 architecture, BOS is positioned to help bring the $1.1 trillion altcoin ecosystem back home to the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin will now combine all of the functionality and scalability achieved by rival crypto networks with the unrivaled security and user base of the world’s largest blockchain network.

About the company: BitcoinOS (BOS) is a trustless and interoperable “superlayer” protocol for rollups built on Bitcoin. BOS solves Bitcoin’s trilemma of scale, computational expressivity, and decentralization by letting developers freely upgrade Bitcoin without forking its code. BOS leverages BitSNARK – a software library for verifying ZK proofs on Bitcoin, and Grail – a practical implementation of a Bitcoin rollup bridge.

Anndy Lian from Neurai Discusses COPX.AI and AI Finance Models at Web3BB Tokyo

Anndy Lian from Neurai Discusses COPX.AI and AI Finance Models at Web3BB Tokyo

Singapore – July 25, 2024

Web3BB, one of the largest business communities in Japan, recently hosted a landmark event that brought together thought leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts from around the globe to discuss the future of Web3, artificial intelligence (AI), and other emerging technologies. The event, held from July 18 to 19, 2024, aimed to bridge the gap between Japan and the global tech community by providing a platform for learning and discussion on these transformative technologies.

Among the distinguished speakers was Anndy Lian, Chairman of Neurai, who delivered an insightful presentation on July 19, 2024. Lian’s talk focused on the pivotal role of AI in the crypto space and its potential to reshape the future of finance. He highlighted Neurai’s pioneering work in AI finance modeling for both stocks and cryptocurrencies, emphasizing the unique approach of their flagship product, COPX.AI.

AI and Web3: A Synergistic Relationship

Anndy Lian emphasized the importance of AI and Web3 working together hand in hand. He sees the finance sector as one of the best case studies for such a combination. “The integration of AI and Web3 can revolutionize the financial industry by providing more secure, efficient, and personalized financial solutions,” Lian noted. This synergy between AI and Web3 can lead to innovative solutions that address the complexities and challenges of modern finance.

Lian elaborated on how most AI crypto models rely on a common set of data, which can limit their effectiveness. In contrast, Neurai’s COPX.AI integrates user-based data, utilizing user behaviors and trading strategies to develop tailored trading strategies for individual users. This innovative approach not only enhances the accuracy of trading models but also creates a win-win situation where users contribute their data in exchange for rewards.

COPX.AI: A User-Centric Approach

Neurai has already made significant strides with COPX.AI, delivering an AI bot on Discord that has garnered a substantial user base. The team is currently working on developing a Telegram bot and integrating gamification modules to enhance user engagement on the platform. With over 100,000 users across various social media channels, COPX.AI is rapidly expanding its reach and influence in the crypto community.

Anndy Lian also mentioned that Neurai not only provides a service to COPX.AI but that some of the team members are also actively assisting COPX.AI. COPX.AI operates as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), and some of Neurai’s team members are giving product and technical suggestions to the COPX DAO. “Some of my team members including myself have eventually become core members of COPX DAO, contributing their expertise to drive the project forward,” Lian added.

Quote from Anndy Lian, Chairman of Neurai

“AI in finance is not just about trading; it also acts as an underlying layer to detect frauds. While many financial systems are based on blockchain and are secure enough, an AI system on top of blockchain data storage adds an extra layer of security. At Neurai, we are committed to leveraging AI to enhance the security and efficiency of financial transactions, ensuring a safer and more reliable financial ecosystem. By incorporating user behaviors and trading strategies, COPX.AI can provide more personalized and effective trading solutions. This user-centric model not only benefits individual traders but also contributes to the overall improvement of our AI systems. We are excited about the future of COPX.AI and its potential to revolutionize the way we approach finance and trading.”

Anndy Lian’s talk at Web3BB Tokyo underscored the significant impact of AI on the future of finance and the innovative strides being made by Neurai with COPX.AI. As AI continues to evolve and integrate with financial technologies, the potential for more secure, efficient, and personalized financial solutions becomes increasingly attainable. 

Neurai’s commitment to leveraging AI for the betterment of the financial ecosystem positions them as a leader in the Fin-Tech industry, paving the way for a new era of financial innovation.

CCHR Calls on Congress to Pass Laws Ending Coercive Mental Health Treatment, Aligning U.S. with International Human Rights Standards

Citizens Commission on Human Rights advocates a human rights-based approach to mental health services, a standard also promoted by the World Health Organization and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Washington, DC – July 25, 2024 /MarketersMEDIA/

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) calls on Congress to pass legislation to end coercive mental health treatment and implement a human rights-based approach to mental health services, bringing the U.S. into alignment with international human rights standards.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted in 2006, recognizes the need for major reforms to protect and promote human rights in mental health treatment. To help countries achieve those reforms, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued its Guidance on Community Mental Health Services in 2021.

“Countries need mental health services that reject coercive practices, that support people to make their own decisions about their treatment and care, and that promote participation and community inclusion,” WHO advised.

Coercive mental health practices include forced admission to psychiatric facilities, forced drugging, physical or chemical restraint, seclusion, and involuntary electroconvulsive therapy (electroshock).

WHO stated that its opposition to involuntary mental health treatment extends even to those experiencing acute mental distress. The report noted that individuals in mental health crisis “are at a heightened risk of their human rights being violated, including through forced admissions and treatment…. These practices have been shown to be harmful to people’s mental, emotional and physical health, sometimes leading to death.”

In October 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) jointly issued a publication, Mental Health, Human Rights and Legislation, to provide a blueprint for laws that promote human rights in mental health and end the human rights violations and forced treatment in mental health services that are made possible by current laws.

The United Nations-affiliated entities advise a complete overhaul of mental health systems by U.N. member countries, including the United States. “Our ambition must be to transform mental health services, not just in their reach, but in their underlying values, so that they are truly responsive to the needs and dignity of the individual.”

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights calls on Congress to take action to eliminate coercive and abusive mental health practices and provide for a human rights-based approach to mental health services. CCHR advocates for widespread adoption of a Mental Health Declaration of Human Rights that lays out fundamental human rights in the field of mental health. 

About the company: The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was co-founded in 1969 by members of the Church of Scientology and the late psychiatrist and humanitarian Thomas Szasz, M.D., recognized by many academics as modern psychiatry’s most authoritative critic, to eradicate abuse and restore human rights and dignity to the field of mental health.

Cooper HR Solutions’ Founder Laura Cooper Featured in CEO World Magazine for Tips on Accelerating Startup Profitability

Laura A. Cooper, Founder and CEO of Cooper HR Solutions, was spotlighted in CEO World Magazine for her analysis of how profitability-focused HR solutions are critical in helping startups prosper.

New York, NY – July 25, 2024

A startup’s path to success begins on day one, but many businesses forget to prioritize the power of Human Resource (HR) teams to get across the finish line. In a recent spotlight with CEO World Magazine, Laura A. Cooper, Esq., CEO of Cooper HR Solutions, spoke out on the strategic power of HR and its unique ability to help startups achieve profitability and sustainable growth from the moment the new company launches.

With 20 years of experience in Human Resources, Laura Cooper is well-acquainted with how companies generally approach HR work. Most companies use HR teams to manage paperwork and compliance, but this CEO believes that traditional expectations are far from the discipline’s true value. 

Instead, Laura recommends expanding the role of HR to leverage profitability-focused HR strategies starting on day one to avoid expensive pitfalls and empower startups to reach their full financial potential, citing these strategies as equally important as financing and products. Prioritizing strong HR solutions straight out of the gate can provide critical enhancements to a startup’s development process, and making these approaches a priority early on can help companies in several ways, including supporting the startup’s operational and financial runway. 

“A great culture is only as great as the worst behavior it tolerates. When companies have empty values that they don’t implement, they lose tremendous ground by failing to align impactful attributes into hiring, performance, and business practices. However, when company values and behaviors are meaningful and regularly rewarded,  employee morale and productivity exponentially grow, accelerating productivity as well as market share,” Cooper explained in the CEO World Magazine article.

She also encourages effective workforce planning aligned with strategic goals so start-ups don’t lose precious cash from expensive overhiring or mis-hiring, which can cost a fortune to endure or rectify.

Building an ideal culture starts with recruiting, another critical component that Laura calls out when exploring culture, profitability, and prosperity. To grow effectively, she explains that startups need top-quality talent in their workforce, and finding those high performers is completely dependent upon the recruiting process. “Recruiting correctly, both strategically and operationally, can accelerate startup growth by catching the attention of aligned top talent, exciting them about the mission, and installing them in the company where their talents and skills will be put to amazing use,” shared Cooper.

Strategic Human Resources strategies empower startups to turn each new project into a success, allowing them to meet their goals along the way. While many startups rely on people they know to bring their businesses to life early on, failing to seek out top talent that fits the role can have detrimental effects. Cooper recommends doing a deep dive to understand fit and behavior needs for each role to help staff companies for success.

Once the top performers are hired, Cooper explains that companies must continue to create an environment that continuously incentivizes high performance; she recommends a culture focused on meritocracy. Identifying and incentivizing employees based on merit significantly improves company performance. It also fosters teams filled with high achievers who are aligned through a strong emotional commitment to the growth and success of the company as well as themselves. 

“Overall Company performance improves rapidly when employees perceive the organization’s commitment to individual performance. When optimizing their workforce, she advises startups to prioritize two key areas: addressing low performance and enhancing employee retention.”

Working with countless startups has taught this HR veteran that startups often prioritize fast and furious growth to achieve market share, but often lose sight of strategic solutions that can help them achieve profitability, which is just as important.  If a startup wants to grow and achieve sustainable profitability, Cooper HR Solutions’ Laura Cooper recommends the prioritization of HR foundations as a core part of the business strategy. 

About Laura Cooper of Cooper HR Solutions

Laura A. Cooper, Esq. is the Founder Of Cooper HR Solutions, as well as a Fractional Global Chief People Officer, advisor, author, and speaker focused on leadership and start-up consulting. Her diverse academic background includes a dual major Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and English, as well as a Juris Doctor in Employment Law and Criminal Prosecution.

Weaving History into Fashion

LUSA 1904 is revolutionizing the fashion industry by blending the rich heritage of lacrosse with modern, high-end lifestyle apparel. The brand takes its name from “LUSA,” meaning the day after tomorrow, reflecting an ongoing evolution rooted in the history of lacrosse. The pivotal year 1904, when the Haudenosaunee tribe showcased lacrosse at the Summer Olympics in St. Louis, serves as the foundation of LUSA 1904’s story.

Every piece from LUSA 1904 is meticulously designed to capture the essence of lacrosse, transforming it into more than just clothing but a reflection of the sport’s culture and spirit.

Craftsmanship and Quality

What sets LUSA 1904 apart in the competitive fashion industry is its unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The brand has conducted extensive research in the lacrosse space to ensure its apparel meets the highest standards. From fabric selection to design, every aspect of LUSA 1904’s products is crafted with precision and attention to detail.

The use of luxurious, comfortable fabrics combined with stylish and edgy designs results in a collection that resonates with the lacrosse community. Bright colors and high-quality textures bring the vibrancy of the sport to life, making each garment a celebration of lacrosse’s heritage and future.

A Unique Market Position

LUSA 1904 is the only lifestyle brand dedicated exclusively to the sport of lacrosse. As the fastest-growing youth sport worldwide, lacrosse has a rapidly expanding consumer base. LUSA 1904 caters to this market with high-end apparel that reflects the sport’s unique culture. The brand’s logo, featuring a lacrosse player, symbolizes its deep connection to the sport and its community.

In addition to its top-notch product quality, LUSA 1904 stands out for its commitment to multiculturalism and diversity. This inclusive approach is evident in the brand’s designs and its mission to represent the diverse lacrosse community.

Proper Representation at the Fashion Lifestyle Level

Laura Shape Named Eco-Conscious Art Innovator of 2024 for Innovative Environmental Art

Artist Laura Shape, known for her unique use of leather from invasive animal species in her art, is named the Eco-Conscious Art Innovator of 2024.

United States – July 25, 2024

A New Vision for Environmental Art

Denver-based artist and sculptor, Laura Shape, is transforming the art world with her innovative approach to environmental conservation through fine art. Specializing in using leather sourced from invasive species such as Burmese pythons and lionfish, Laura’s work not only highlights the beauty of these materials but also addresses urgent ecological issues. Her recognition as the Eco-Conscious Art Innovator of 2024 underscores the significance of her contributions to both art and environmental activism.

The Genesis of a Unique Art Form

Laura Shape’s journey into the art world is as unique as her creations. Raised in a small Ohio town by artist and engineer parents, she developed a passion for making and designing from an early age. After studying graphic design at the Rochester Institute of Technology and starting her career in Los Angeles, Laura transitioned to fine art upon moving to Colorado. It was here that her ethical concerns about traditional leather use led her to discover a sustainable alternative: leather from invasive species.

Art with a Purpose

Invasive species pose a significant threat to native ecosystems worldwide. Laura utilizes leathers made from invasive python from the Florida Everglades, lionfish from the Atlantic and Caribbean, and carp from the Mississippi River. Since eliminating these animals is the only solution, her art aims to honor them by transforming their destruction into beauty. Her work not only raises awareness about the ecological impact of invasive species, it helps protect numerous native species and the livelihoods tied to them.

The Artistic Process

Laura’s creative process involves careful selection of invasive species’ hides, which she then transforms into abstract paintings. Her work highlights the intricate details of each animal’s skin, creating pieces that are both visually striking and thought-provoking. The use of vibrant colors and textures in her art makes each piece a conversation starter, encouraging dialogue about environmental conservation.

A Positive Impact on Ecosystems and Communities

Laura Shape’s art goes beyond aesthetics; it contributes to environmental conservation and supports local economies. Each invasive species used in her work helps protect native wildlife and ecosystems. For example, using the skin from a single invasive lionfish helps save up to 70,000 native reef fish, while using the hide of a single python helps protect over 70 species of native mammals, birds, and reptiles in the Everglades. Her work provides financial incentives for hunters and fishers to capture these invasive animals, which aids in ecosystem restoration.

Recognition and Exhibitions

Laura Shape’s art has been exhibited in Colorado, Maryland, and international juried exhibitions online. She has received accolades such as a “Juror’s Award” from Anna Davis, a Fellow at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. Her work is held in private collections worldwide and has been featured in prominent publications such as Latina, 5280, Luxe New Jersey, and Colorado Expression magazines.

A Vision for the Future

Laura Shape’s recognition as the Eco-Conscious Art Innovator of 2024 highlights her innovative approach to combining art and environmental activism. Her mission to turn ecological challenges into beautiful, meaningful art has resonated with collectors and art enthusiasts globally. By purchasing her artwork, collectors not only acquire a unique piece of art but also contribute to a larger cause of environmental preservation and restoration.

About Laura Shape

Laura Shape is an American painter and sculptor based in Denver, Colorado. She creates abstract paintings using leather sourced from invasive animal species, aiming to help protect native ecosystems and promote environmental conservation. Laura’s work has been exhibited nationally and is featured in several prestigious publications.

House Cleaning Records Unveils Inaugural Vinyl Release, ‘HCR001 – Adam Collins – Get Me Started EP’

Seattle’s Very Own House Cleaning Records Offers a Limited Edition, Hand-Labeled Vinyl Release Now Available Online

Los Angeles, CA, California, United States – July 24, 2024

In the pulsating heart of the Pacific Northwest, where ocean and forest meets city skyline, a new rhythm is about to sweep through the underground House Music scene. House Cleaning Records (HCR) is set to make waves with its very first vinyl release, ‘HCR001 – Adam Collins – Get Me Started EP.’ This four-track vinyl record promises to ignite intimate venues and discotechs all over, captivating audiophiles and dance music enthusiasts alike. It also marks a significant milestone for the music label, showcasing its commitment to preserving the legacy of House Music while boldly pushing the genre into new territories.

Founded in February 2021, House Cleaning Records (HCR) is more than just another label in a saturated music industry. It’s a community-driven movement, an educational endeavor, and a passion project spearheaded by Kyle Douglas and Jenn Sturgill. The existence of HCR goes further back than its founding, as Kyle Douglas, the Co-Founder and Creative Director, has been DJing since the late 90s. As a Chicago-bred DJ with over two decades of mixing experience and historical knowledge, he brings a unique perspective to HCR as both a civil engineer and a music industry veteran. His technical prowess, upbeat sound, and risk-taking attitude behind the decks have shaped HCR’s vision. Jenn Sturgill, a multifaceted entrepreneur with a marketing and business management background, brings her keen sense of organization and structure with her to the label. She has been a House Head for as long as she can remember. Her experience as an event manager and nightclub promoter has also been instrumental in building HCR’s community-focused approach.

For their debut vinyl release, HCR couldn’t have chosen a more fitting artist than Adam Collins of Euphoria Records. A longtime producer, mentor, and friend, Adam embodies the ethos that HCR stands for – community, creativity, and musical excellence. The collaboration between HCR and Adam began at a co-produced event with Restless Planet in Seattle in 2022, sparking an instant connection that has now culminated in this groundbreaking EP. “It’s like making a baby together,” Adam remarked during the production process, highlighting this release’s intimate and collaborative nature.

The Get Me Started EP’ features meticulously crafted tracks, each exemplifying different facets of Adam’s production skills and HCR‘s musical vision. Side A kicks-off with “Get Me Started,” a high-energy track with rhythmic pianos, bongos, and a Juno 106 baseline, creating an uplifting vibe perfect for summer. Following this is “Upstart,” inspired by a trip to Chicago, capturing the essence of a late-night basement party with its funky groove.

Side B features “Kucni Snimak” (Serbian for ‘Home Movie’), a deep minimal roller ideal for after-hours sessions, reflecting Adam’s versatility. The EP closes with “Vracar,” a stripped-down piece named after the Belgrade neighborhood where much of the music was composed, offering a glimpse into Adam’s creative process.

The record also represents different facets of House Music, from high-energy dancefloor fillers to deep, introspective cuts, demonstrating both Adam’s range as a producer and HCR‘s commitment to exploring the full spectrum of the genre. This carefully curated selection of tracks embodies HCR‘s mission to produce Underground House, Deep House, Tech House, and Minimal, showcasing their dedication to hand-picking artists based on professionalism and talent.

This EP promises to be a must-have for vinyl collectors and new fans of physical media alike. The release will be available in a limited batch of 150 records, with a potential for re-release in the future. This strategy is to target a curated audience that truly loves the music, enjoys the art of collecting and using records, and also adept DJs and producers that will appreciate the phrasing. Each record is hand-labeled and packaged by the HCR team, with some lucky buyers finding personal notes and other gifts from the label inside their sleeves. Vinyl purchasers will also receive exclusive digital access to the tracks (purchasers can contact HCR for instructions at info@housecleaningrecords.com).
