Track Cryptocurrency Performance Outcomes And More With Reality Keys

Reality Keys is a new decentralized, automated and trust-free service that allows you to monitor a variety of data sources including exchange rates, transactions and 39 million additional topics listed in the Freebase open directory to automatically report whether a given fact is true or false at a pre-configured, specified date and time.

Every fact created generates two ECDSA cryptographic key pairs known as Reality Keys, for example one key for "Yes" and one key for "No" when facts are registered a public key for each possible outcome is generated and released, the private key associated with the actual outcome when result is confirmed through an automated and human verification process, private keys for the outcomes that never come to fruition are never released.

Services are provided free of charge however, for a small fee payable in Bitcoin Bitcoin While some may still be wondering what is Bitcoin, who created Bitcoin, or how does Bitcoin work, one thing is certain: Bitcoin has changed the world.No one can remain indifferent to this revolutionary, decentralized, digital asset nor to its blockchain technology.In fact, we’ve gone a long way ever since a Florida resident Laszlo Hanyecz made BTC’s first official commercial transaction with a real company by trading 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 pizzas at his local Papa John’s.One could now argue that While some may still be wondering what is Bitcoin, who created Bitcoin, or how does Bitcoin work, one thing is certain: Bitcoin has changed the world.No one can remain indifferent to this revolutionary, decentralized, digital asset nor to its blockchain technology.In fact, we’ve gone a long way ever since a Florida resident Laszlo Hanyecz made BTC’s first official commercial transaction with a real company by trading 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 pizzas at his local Papa John’s.One could now argue that Read this Term human confirmation is available in a situation where the data provided by the automated verification was incorrect or compromised.

In financial transactions, data provided can be verified by Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency through escrow like transactions performed directly over the Blockchain Blockchain Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer. The ledger can be public or private (permissioned). In this sense, blockchain is immune to the manipulation of data, making it not only open but verifiable. Because a blockchain is stored across a network of computers, it is very difficult to tamp Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer.

Because Reality Keys are compatible with the Bitcoin network you can use them to create transactions payable only on specific outcomes using smart contracts.

How it works:

- Register an event to track. Reality Keys can currently monitor exchange rates, crypto-currency transactions, personal exercise goals or any of the millions of topics in Wikidata, all based on publicly available APIs.

- 2 Reality Keys will be issued, one for Yes and one for No keeping the private keys and publishing the public keys, which you can use to create an encrypted message or a Bitcoin contract.

- Then wait until the date you specified when you created the fact.

- Reality Keys will perform an automated check against the appropriate API and publish the results.

- In the event that anyone thinks the result from the API was wrong, they can pay a small fee and a human will double-check. Otherwise the result provided by the API will stand.

- Reality Keys will then publish the private key for the winning result. You can use it to de-crypt your message or complete a Bitcoin contract. The private key for the losing result will never be released.

Some examples of categories include but are not limited to Exchange Rates, Blockchains, Sport Results, Personal Goals etc.

The Reality Keys service was created with anonymity in mind and is used anonymously. With the exception of RunKeeper data, they do not collect your name, email address, or other personally identifying information.

Similar to the Augur predictive markets platform, I think that Reality Keys seems more probable to function in practice than Augur, which looks to be susceptible to centralization and breakdown into a single data feed.

Recently, newly-launched Etheropt, a decentralized options exchange built on Ethereum, is using Reality Keys to verify all of its transactions. In my opinion, there will be many more like Etheropt in the future to use Reality Keys in many different ways.

In my opinion, Reality Keys is a modern day oracle in a sense and it boggles the mind when you think of all of the many things you can do with this amazing platform, and can be a very useful tool in the world of trading and investing.
