In these ways we can better find each other, communicate more easily about what we are working on, and learn about tools and techniques to co-create, co-work and co-produce more effectively. + +
+ + + +
+ + +### The Problem + +Arguably, our planet depends upon humans figuring out how to get together and make good decisions together. But we don’t yet have the social frameworks or technology to effectively collaborate – we don’t flow as we grow – and we may be “running out of time” much more quickly than most of us realize. +
+ +Generally when we try collaborating between more than three people, we struggle to overcome many barriers. These include using various messaging or collaboration tools (Facebook, Telegram, Instagram, etc.) which – by design – do not inter-operate. +
+ +New social operating systems have little insight or grounding in decentralized collective decision-making without top-down power structures. Even when people do manage to raise collaborative processes off the ground, projects often crash in flames. + +### The Solution + +CICOLAB brings together thought leaders and experts from diverse areas of collective intelligence to figure out how we might work, build and learn together, better and faster. +We host and moderate online events for people with projects, initiatives and organizations which may overlap in surprising and synergistic ways. Through conversation we can meet each other and form deeper relationships. +
+ +While everyone is working on very different projects, we are all striving to create better conditions for decision-making, knowledge sharing, and highlighting flows of valuable information which may be invisible. CICOLAB cultivates an extensive “knowledge garden” i.e. database of interviews and round table discussions, plus maps and other visuals showing (a) various core aspects of collective intelligence, (b) who is working on what, and (c) their actual or possible relationships. + +### The Process: + +We design easy ways to generate “Deep Profiles,” videos and short texts that capture an individual’s role within a group plus the group’s role within a network. Then it’s much easier to know who is doing what and who has which talents or interests. The Deep Profile lets one’s reputation emerge naturally without creating a top-heavy or dystopian “reputation system.” +
+ +CICOLAB is at the crossroads of many different networks. Our prolific network weaving is driven by purpose, creativity and fun. Increasingly we include groups of many cultures speaking many languages. +
+ +We host discussions and process them thoroughly (generating transcripts, summary notes, and graphic art) to leave behind “knowledge trails” for anyone to follow. + +## Mission + +CICOLAB brings together visionaries from diverse fields to develop simple, practical ways to amplify network intelligence. + +## Impact + +We create, collect and apply effective, accessible tools and methods to make groups smarter.

+ +We’re also developing innovative gaming methods to assess risk and minimize mis- or disinformation (aka “Crap Detection”).

Instead of relying on conventional designs, FlowGen has designed their wind turbines from first principles, using the most advanced analytical tools available. In this way they have achieved performance levels previously thought impossible. +
+ +These performance levels allow FlowGen to create a new segment in the wind energy market. + +## About + +Founded by former Porsche GT3 race team leader Dirk Küster in 2015, FlowGen pushes the limits of optimisation in wind energy generation. Under the lead of Dirk, a team of experts from the motorsport aerodynamic area and the automotive industry have created a highly-efficient wind turbine by combining motorsport design tools and advanced aerodynamic know how. Formula 1 analysis tools and experience have been applied throughout the design and development process. +
+ +After the design milestones were achieved, an automotive production process was conceived and developed with selected, internationally-renowned partners. The result is a high volume, low cost mass production process which meets the needs of the market and allows FlowGen to offer a wind turbine that is practical to use and commercially attractive. To protect its unique concept, FlowGen holds a comprehensive portfolio of international patents as well as design and trademark rights relating the turbine and its parts. + +## Mission + +- Drive forward the development of new solutions in sustainable energy generation. +- Make renewable energy accessible and economically viable in new areas. +- Make a significant contribution to building a greener planet. + +## Impact + +- Efficiency: Due to the unique design, FlowGen achieves 5kW even at low wind speeds. Thus, the turbine is efficient in a wide range of locations throughout the world. +- Distributed Energy: The high-efficiency enables distributed power generation – energy production at or near the point of use. This in turn reduces pressure on the electricity grid and also allows installation in a wide range of areas with no grid connection. +- Simple: The wind turbine can be installed without high masts or deep foundations, which simplifies planning permission procedures. +- Quiet: Neither people nor animals are adversely affected by the operation of the turbines, so they are perfectly suited to both urban and natural environments. +- Cost-efficient: High power output combined with low investment and maintenance costs radically reduces the cost per kWh. The initial investment can be recovered in a short time even in low FIT areas. +- Low Risk: Production using existing equipment and processes in use in the automotive industry guarantees high quality and production capacity. The process of certification to international standard IEC 61400-2 for small wind turbines has already started. + +## Powered by ThreeFold + +Both FlowGen and ThreeFold are focused on the need for decentralisation, making them ideal partners. FlowGen will be able to provide ThreeFold with decentralised micro wind turbines & solar based energy solutions for areas with no grid connection, allowing ThreeFold to execute on its Mission to bring decentralised compute capacity to the unconnected!. + +## TF Grid Solution + +TFTech's primary interest is to prove the agreed joint use case for our technologies by means of an agreed showcase project and to capitalise on the marketable value of such a project and our partnership. +

Now you can be part of the solution by operating a Presearch Node and helping to power the Presearch decentralized search engine. +
+ +Presearch Nodes are used to process user search requests, and node operators earn Presearch PRE tokens for joining and supporting the network. + +## It’s easy to get started! + +1. Register your node and get a registration code at https://nodes.presearch.org/dashboard +2. Follow [**Get Started**](threefold:get_started) guide to deploy Presearch node/-s via Blockchain Jukebox. +2. Run the node start commands. + + +## Server requirements + +Presearch nodes with fast internet and low latency connection to the Presearch Gateway are currently prioritized. +
+ +You do not need much disk space, much memory, or much CPU current to run a node, and running a more powerful server does not currently increase node rewards. +
+ +We recommend running many lightweight nodes to optimize your reward earnings relative to your server costs. + +## Node operator rewards + +Rewards are paid to all node operators who stake at least 1,000 PRE to their node. +Each of your staked nodes will qualify for the base reward paid to incentivize participation in the network. +
+ +Those who stake more than 1,000 PRE to their node are eligible to earn additional rewards. +For complete information on how staking works, please visit [Presearch Rewards](https://nodes.presearch.org/rewards). + +## Risks & Cautions + +Running a Presearch node is likely not a concern for most node operators, but there are some things we think you should be aware of: +- If you are running a node locally (and not on an outside server), queries routed through your node to external sources (other search engines, databases & APIs) could be associated with your IP address. If you are trying to minimize your personal footprint with Google and other big tech companies for instance, using Presearch as a searcher is what you want, but running a node is probably not. +- This is particularly true if you are in a repressive country, such as Iran, North Korea or China, where the powers that be can use any excuse to attack you. +- The IP address of your node is used to identify your node within the system and will be logged. Again, if you are trying to minimize your personal external footprint, you would be best to either run a node on an outside server you are comfortable exposing, or do not run a node at all. +- Depending on the country in which you are located, node rewards may need to be declared as income for tax purposes. That is up to you to track and report, and we will not be submitting or providing any documentation aside from the logs of your rewards. +- This software is currently not open source and you are relying on our assurances that nothing malicious is happening underneath the hood. We promise that this is true, but the ability to verify it for yourself would currently be limited to packet sniffers and any other means that you have available to you. It is our intention to open source this software in the future, but we’re not there yet. +- This is beta software, and it is possible that there are bugs that we are not yet aware of. We push updates frequently to resolve anything we discover, but as we cannot control which versions of the node software are run on your machine, we can’t ensure that you will always have the latest version. +- Overall, it’s best to assume that any risk on your part is yours alone, and while we will do our best to ensure that only good things come from running a node, there are no guarantees that this will be the case, only best efforts. + +

It is the token of a new neutral green internet, backed by internet capacity, with its own intrinsic value. + +One of the keys to success and wide acceptance of the token is its liquidity. Therefore, there is a need to now jump start liquidity as a key to fulfilling TFT's potential. To that extent, we are listing on several major independent token/coin exchanges, as well as launching our own decentralized exchange. + +Our first step was to list TFTs on the BTC-Alpha token exchange in June 17, 2018. In the initial weeks of trading, organic daily liquidity rose to more than 10x, with the help of several independent traders who were allocated modest amounts of TFTs to trade. Their mandate was to trade tokens, and they were rewarded based on volume traded. We are considering furthering this as a part of our token promotion efforts. + +Step two is to launch our own decentralized exchange, the UI/UX for which is under development and is due to launch in September 2018. The advantage of this decentralized exchange is that there are no trading fees, those typically charged by centralized exchanges. We use atomic swaps to achieve secure and reliable trading across multiple tokens. +Step three is to list TFT on larger, more recognized exchanges. This requires yet higher liquidity i.e. more than 100k USD traded daily, as well as a hefty listing fee. New listings would enable further visibility, liquidity and adoption of TFT's by a significantly larger community. + +We would like to take this opportunity to invite all independent traders to engage with our token, TFT. Your participation supports the stability and liquidity of the TFT ecosystem, thereby contributing and empowering the new neutral and sustainable internet which is supported by ThreeFold_Token.

If so, this section might be helpful for you! If not, please skip ahead. + +### Is ThreeFold Token a cryptocurrency? + +A cryptocurrency is a currency living on a blockchain. TFT lives on the [Stellar](tft_stellar_dex) blockchain, so it is indeed a cryptocurrency. However, there are many different types of cryptocurrencies. + +As of today, the world mostly uses [fiat currencies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money) in the form of bank notes, coins or electronic transfers. Any government-issued currency is fiat currency. That means the money supply and value is controlled by a central bank. Fiat currencies are not backed by any commodity such as gold or silver, nor do they have any intrinsic value. (This is not good.) + +The functionality of a cryptocurrency is just that: a means of payment. It has the same features as money; it’s a unit of account, store of value, and medium of transfer. In essence cryptocurrencies are not that different from the physical coins that we keep in our pockets, just that they are digital, and not controlled by central banks. + +However, cryptocurrencies come with many benefits over fiat currencies, as they represent an ultra-secure mode of payment on a decentralized environment that is not controlled by any government or bank. This brings a high level of trust. + +As for the ThreeFold_Token, it is a utility token, which carries a wider functionality and purpose. Utility tokens do have value, but they cannot be considered as "money" as straightforward as others. A utility token provides value to holders in different ways, by serving some use case within a specific system / giving them access to a future product or service. + +The ThreeFold_Token represents a unit of decentralized Internet capacity on the ThreeFold Grid. People are able to buy TFT and use it as a means of payment to reserve current or future Internet capacity and services on the ThreeFold Grid. + +### Is TFT like Bitcoin? + +Well, TFT shares similarities and differences with Bitcoin (BTC): + +Similarities: + +- TFT is decentralizing the Internet in the same way BTC decentralized finance. +- Just as no central bank is needed in the BTC model, no centralzied cloud such as Google, Amazon or Facebook is needed in the TFT model. +- Both networks allow transactions to happen peer-to-peer. + +Differences: + +- While BTC works on a proof-of-work algorythm, ThreeFold's proof-of-capacity builds on proof-of-stake which brings much more scaleability and efficiency to the model. +- While BTC is a cryptocurrency, it can only be used as a value exchange. TFT is a utility token, so not only does it have a given value but it can be used as a medium of exchange for Internet capacity. + +### What is the process for buying ThreeFold Tokens? + +There are different ways to [get TFT](how_to_buy). + +#### Wallets + +Some [wallets](threefold_wallets) let you buy cryptocurrency with a debit/credit card, bank transfer, or even Apple Pay. Geographical restrictions apply. + +#### Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) + +Decentralized Exchanges are open marketplaces for TFT and many other tokens. They connect buyers and sellers directly. + +Instead of using a trusted third party to safeguard funds in the transaction, they use code. The seller's TFT will only be transferred when payment is guaranteed. This type of code is known as a smart contract. + +This means there are fewer geographical restrictions than with centralized alternatives (below). If someone is selling what you want and accepts a payment method you can provide, you’re good to go. DEXs can let you buy TFT with other tokens, PayPal or even in-person cash deliveries. + +You will need a wallet to use a DEX. + +#### Centralized Exchanges + +Centralized exchanges are businesses that let you buy cryptocurrency using traditional currencies. They have custody over any TFT you buy until you send it to a wallet you control. Thus, we never recommend storing TFT or any other cryptocurrency on a centralized exchange. + +When buying TFT on a centralized exchange you will first need to send fiat currencies to the exchange in order to buy digital currencies, such as BTC, to be traded with TFT – and vice versa if you want to transfer the value of your TFT back to your bank account. + +Centralized exchanges usually require KYC procedures and have geographical restrictions. + +#### Through Farmers + +You can also buy TFT from Farmers, such as [Mazraa](mazraa), the ones that produce TFT by connecting capacity to the ThreeFold Grid. All you have to do is to get in touch with them and issue a request to buy TFT. + +### More information on how to buy TFT + +Find instructions on how to buy TFT in the [Get TFT](how_to_buy) section. + +> It is incredibly important to take the process of signing up and buying tokens seriously and to follow all the steps carefully. While there's nothing to be scared of, you'll need to give it your full attention. There are many resources online to guide you through the process. + +!!!include:tft_safe + +!!!include:token_toc + diff --git a/collections/_archive/tf_tokens/sidebar.md

Here we will try to make things a little simpler for you. + +## So, ThreeFold is building a new Internet. Why? + +What it boils down to is that currently the Internet is only available to about 1/2 of the world (meaning billions are being left behind), it is centralized (a handful of large corporations profit off of our data), and it uses up to 10% of the world's energy consumption. So, we're building a new Internet that empowers equality (access), digital sovereignty (data ownership, for example), and sustainability (reduces energy consumption). + +## How does it work? + +Everything on the Internet – websites, apps, photos, videos, etc – uses up capacity and is stored in huge data centers owned by big companies, mainly in North America, Europe, and some in Asia. In our solution, centralized data centers are replaced with a grid of "nodes" distributed around the world. + +These nodes are owned by [ThreeFold Farmers](farming_intro) – but only the physical hardware – the data inside of the nodes belongs to the people or organizations who put it there. So, "farmers" plug in hardware and start to create capacity that can be used by people. + +Farmers come in all shapes and sizes. Some farmers run small data centers while others simply run a node out of their living room. + +When farmers connect active hardware (add capacity) to the ThreeFold_Grid, ThreeFold_Tokens are created. Farmers can then sell those tokens to people who want to use capacity (e.g. a developer that wants to build or host a website, or a person who wants to store some photos). More on tokens down below. + +## Seems quite lofty. How will you build it? + +It's true that rebuilding the Internet is not so simple. But a lot of infrastructure has already been built and the technology is quite advanced. Over the last 2+ years, independent [ThreeFold Farmers](farming_intro) have already plugged in more than 80,000,000 GigaBytes worth of storage and 14,000 CPU Cores across 20+ countries. That might not mean a lot to non-technical folks but it is quite a significant amount. + +## 20+ countries? What happened to equality? + +As far along as we are, we still have work to do.

This includes communication tools, file storage, a wallet, & more – all with the advantages of being more sustainable for our planet and with full control of your own data. And over time, more and more experiences will come to this Internet. We'll be updating here and on our communication platforms as they come.

This results in less security which results in lots of security breaches. First of all, we are collectively building new infrastructure [(The ThreeFold Grid)](grid_why) which is totally peer-to-peer, meaning no third parties or intermediaries to store your data. Also, we took a look at the existing Internet and simplified it. By simplifying the architecture and instead creating technology that is self-driving & self-healing, we removed the human requirement and therefore vastly minimized the possibility for hacking or human error. Then, we also developed a storage algorithm which makes it such that if some of the information gets lost or stolen (somehow) or if some hardware goes down, it is all retrievable. Long story short, we flipped the existing system on its head. + +## What about the data ownership part? + +That has a bit to do with the security as well. Since you own your data, you decide who gets access. Which means your data isn't just out "there" for the taking. Basically, we put _you_ at the center of your digital life, where the applications and experiences you use serve you, not the other way around. + +## And how is it better for the planet? + +There are a few reasons for us being more sustainable.

But all at a fair price. + +## Speaking of money – so what's up with the ThreeFold_Token? + +As we mentioned above, tokens are generated when ThreeFold Farmers adds capacity to the ThreeFold_Grid. + +Essentially, the ThreeFold_Token is the medium of exchange on the new Internet.

The right to Internet access aims to protect people’s freedom of expression and opinion, as well as other fundamentals such as access to knowledge and information. + +Yet as of 2019, [about 43% of humanity remains unconnected to the Internet](https://wearesocial.com/blog/2019/01/digital-2019-global-internet-use-accelerates), creating huge inequalities in the access to information and knowledge.

Yet it is owned by large international companies that exploit users' data. + +The current approach of many governments and countries is to cut the Internet into pieces by limiting its accessibility and enforcing regulations. We need an Internet that protects our digital freedom and provides fair access to global information for everyone, everywhere. + +ThreeFold's Internet is a peer-to-peer Internet and owned by the users.

However this is not a viable solution as data centers consume enormous amounts of energy. Therefore, a new solution that can drastically reduce the global Internet’s energy consumption is needed. + +ThreeFold today brings the largest peer-to-peer Internet grid on the planet. It uses pioneering technologies that remove the need for centralized and power-hungry data centers, consumes up to 90% less energy, and uses up to 90% less international fiber network capacity.

Neighborhood Clouds Buyback TFT from Market + +A Neighborhood Cloud is a special type of Community Cloud project where a special purpose vehicle receives 1-5% of a real estate project. This 1-5% is used to farm TFT in and around the project as well as acquire tokens from the market if the price is low enough. The homeowner receives a certain amount of TFT over 5 years. Example in our first project, TFTech receives 5m USD, and the home owners receive 7 TFT per USD. This is a win-win for everyone involved.

Each Neighborhood Cloud has their price of TFT at start defined (we call it strike price) e.g. today we sold at about 0.1 over 5 Y, next deal 0.12, … If tokens today are < 0.12 we buy all tokens we can till 0.12, this way each Neighborhood Cloud project defines a next price for the token… It's a gradual token price increase in line to expansion of the grid and a bigger economical ecosystem. + +There are now 2 projects +* Paradise Hills -> 5m USD (signed) +* A new project in Dubai -> 8-10m USD (to sign < 4 weeks) + +There is a large funnel, we expect to book more than 50m USD this year, this means +- 10m USD can be used over next year or so to buy back TFT as long as the price is lower than the strike price of the Neighborhood Cloud. + +This shows how the Neighborhood Cloud concept has the potential to keep on supporting the TFT price in an organic way and this way provides benefit for the local community as well as the ThreeFold community in general. + +## 3. CHI Liquidity Pools + +Each Daughter DAI has its own colored TFT and DEFI system. **This local TFT is also called CHI **and can only be used inside the Daughter DAI ecosystem. A CHI is generated as a result of people providing storage, network and compute resources to their local Daughter DAI system. CHI farming rules are defined by the local DAI and will be different region to region. Each Daughter DAI starts with 99,999,999 of genesis CHI which need to be bought from the Mother DAI by means of TFT. These genesis CHI are managed by the Daughter DAI and can be granted for work done or funds provided by the community. + +The DEFI system uses CHI as reserve currency, all trades in the peer2peer system are done against CHI. CHI is for Threefold what BNB is for Binance Smartchain. If you need CHI from another DAI you will have to go over TFT which is the reserve currency of the ThreeFold Mother DAI. This happens seamlessly for you, as part of your Twin For Life experience. + +Everyone, by design, has the right and ability to become a liquidity provider. It won’t be like any centralized exchange platform. Instead it will be an organic experience attached to your digital self which allows you to create flow. Each and every one of us can decide how to provide liquidity and flow on a personal level – which allows for a self-governing system to emerge. + +Each Twin For Life has its own set of Liquidity Pools. + +You define per personal liquidity pool + +* Amount digital currencies available to the pool (e.g. 1000 USDT, 0.2 BTC …). +* Amount of CHI or TFT available is the reserve currency (you can use TFT and CHI as reserve currency). +* Your liquidity pool Exchange Rules, assets you want to exchange and at what price + * e.g. buy max 100,000 TFT < 0.15 USD, optionally linked to a specific group of people (we call circle) + * e.g. sell max 10,000 TFT > 0.2 USD + +*Your liquidity pool will at any point in time have a basket of your digital currencies and TFT/CHI. Important remark, you can use any currency in your ruleset, but exchange always happens against TFT or CHI. TFT or CHI is the reserve currency. Importantly, a pool always needs at least 30% of its value in CHI/TFT, otherwise the pool will not function, this makes sure there is enough liquidity available.* + +More currencies will enter this liquidity model. With time we will integrate gold, carbon and other (value-backed) utility or monetary digital currencies. + +The aggregation of the above individual pools will aggregate themselves to balance the whole economy – a peer-to-peer alternative to centralized liquidity pools – a real economy based on real demand and supply – an economy based on the golden rule and free will.

We could not continue to make full copies of data to make sure it is stored reliably. This will simply not scale. We need to move from securing the whole dataset to securing all the objects that make up a dataset. + +ThreeFold is using space technology to store data (fragments) over multiple devices (physical storage devices in 3Nodes). The solution does not distribute and store parts of an object (file, photo, movie...) but describes the part of an object. This could be visualized by thinking of it as equations. + + +### Details + +Let a,b,c,d.... be the parts of that original object. You could create endless unique equations using these parts. A simple example: let's assume we have 3 parts of original objects that have the following values: +``` +a=1 +b=2 +c=3 +``` +(and for reference the part of real-world objects is not a simple number like `1` but a unique digital number describing the part, like the binary code for it `110101011101011101010111101110111100001010101111011.....`). With these numbers we could create endless amounts of equations: +``` +1: a+b+c=6 +2: c-b-a=0 +3: b-c+a=0 +4: 2b+a-c=2 +5: 5c-b-a=12 +...... +``` +Mathematically we only need 3 to describe the content (=value) of the fragments. But creating more adds reliability. Now store those equations distributed (one equation per physical storage device) and forget the original object. So we no longer have access to the values of a, b, c and see, and we just remember the locations of all the equations created with the original data fragments. Mathematically we need three equations (any 3 of the total) to recover the original values for a, b or c. So do a request to retrieve 3 of the many equations and the first 3 to arrive are good enough to recalculate the original values. Three randomly retrieved equations are: + +``` +5c-b-a=12 +b-c+a=0 +2b+a-c=2 +``` +And this is a mathematical system we could solve: +- First: `b-c+a=0 -> b=c-a` +- Second: `2b+a-c=2 -> c=2b+a-2 -> c=2(c-a)+a-2 -> c=2c-2a+a-2 -> c=a+2` +- Third: `5c-b-a=12 -> 5(a+2)-(c-a)-a=12 -> 5a+10-(a+2)+a-a=12 -> 5a-a-2=2 -> 4a=4 -> a=1` + +Now that we know `a=1` we could solve the rest `c=a+2=3` and `b=c-a=2`. And we have from 3 random equations regenerated the original fragments and could now recreate the original object. + +The redundancy and reliability in such system comes in the form of creating (more than needed) equations and storing them. As shown these equations in any random order could recreate the original fragments and therefore redundancy comes in at a much lower overhead. + +### Example of 16/4 + +![](img/quantumsafe_storage_algo.jpg) + + +Each object is fragmented into 16 parts. So we have 16 original fragments for which we need 16 equations to mathematically describe them. Now let's make 20 equations and store them dispersedly on 20 devices. To recreate the original object we only need 16 equations, the first 16 that we find and collect which allows us to recover the fragment and in the end the original object. We could lose any 4 of those original 20 equations. + +The likelihood of losing 4 independent, dispersed storage devices at the same time is very low. Since we have continuous monitoring of all of the stored equations, we could create additional equations immediately when one of them is missing, making it an auto-regeneration of lost data and a self-repairing storage system. The overhead in this example is 4 out of 20 which is a mere **20%** instead of (up to) **400%.** + +### Content distribution Policy (10/50) + +This system can be used as backend for content delivery networks. + +Imagine a movie being stored on 60 locations from which we can loose 50 at the same time. + +If someone now wants to download the data, the first 10 locations who answer fastest will provide enough of the data parts to allow the data to be rebuild. + +The overhead here is much more, compared to previous example, but stil order of magnitude lower compared to other cdn systems. + +### Datarot + +> Datarot cannot happen on this storage system. + +Fact that data storage degrades over time and becomes unreadable, on e.g. a harddisk. +The storage system provided by ThreeFold intercepts this silent data corruption, making that it can pass by unnotified. + +> see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_degradation + +### Zero Knowledge Proof + +The quantum save storage system is zero knowledge proof compliant.

More than 40m USD has been invested by founders and friends to make this possible. diff --git a/collections/threefold_team/experience.md b/collections/threefold_team/experience.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b5e1d28 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/threefold_team/experience.md @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ + +# EXPERIENCE + +## OUR PREVIOUS SUCCESSES + +![here](img/exits.png). + + +{{#include achievements.md}} \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/threefold_team/experience_intro.md b/collections/threefold_team/experience_intro.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..93ec852 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/threefold_team/experience_intro.md @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ + +{{#include team.md}} + +This team has executed on lots of interesting projects see [some technology achievements]() \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/collections/threefold_team/img/exits.png b/collections/threefold_team/img/exits.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f2fd498 Binary files /dev/null and b/collections/threefold_team/img/exits.png differ diff --git a/collections/threefold_team/kristof.md b/collections/threefold_team/kristof.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..32ff083 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/threefold_team/kristof.md @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +# Kristof + diff --git a/collections/threefold_team/team.md b/collections/threefold_team/team.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3e5aac5 --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/threefold_team/team.md @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +## Team Experience + +ThreeFold has an experienced team which can help to realize the goals of this project: + +Our incubator (Incubaid) has founded several technology startups. + +![here](img/exits.png). + + diff --git a/collections/threefold_team/world_records.md b/collections/threefold_team/world_records.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e69de29 diff --git a/collections/values/img/crisis_waves.jpg b/collections/values/img/crisis_waves.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e0ba261 Binary files /dev/null and b/collections/values/img/crisis_waves.jpg differ diff --git a/collections/values/img/planet_people_profit.png b/collections/values/img/planet_people_profit.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5d9a12e Binary files /dev/null and b/collections/values/img/planet_people_profit.png differ diff --git a/collections/values/ppp.md b/collections/values/ppp.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..309c49e --- /dev/null +++ b/collections/values/ppp.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +# PLANET, PEOPLE, PROFIT + +![image alt text](img/crisis_waves.jpg) + +planetpeopleprofit + +We believe in: + +* **Planet First** +* **People Second** +* **Profit As Result** + + +Anything we do needs to improve our planet's situation (climate change, regenerative, respect resources, …) and help the people around us.
