Many farmers in Africa are unbanked and may not even have access to the Internet. But the tech startup E-Livestock Global is offering a blockchain solution for such customers that makes use of an RFID system to trace cows' histories, enabling buyers to learn about a cow's health records among other valuable information. For a subscription fee of just $2 US, a cow is implanted with an RFID tag and its history is updated throughout the animal's lifecycle. The electronic ID system adds value to the livestock, says company CEO Chris Light. Chris, a technologist whose background is in the international development sector, tells Charles Miller on this episode of CoinGeek Conversations, “by getting health care and having it through our system, we're offering [farmers] healthier cows and reduced mortality.”    Chris says the platform is designed with the farmers' digital and financial inclusion in mind. As he points out, “some of the pilot farmers, they don't use technology and they're not in the banking system… but they don't need to have a cell phone to use our system, they just need to be enrolled in it.”With the use of blockchain technology, E-Livestock Global delivers an identification system for livestock much as humans can be identified through passports and ID cards. With the use of their service, buyers will be able to purchase cattle remotely and not have to fly to Africa to inspect the animal in person. They simply need to check the data recorded on blockchain.  “We use the blockchain for provenance,” Chris says, “so you can't fudge the record - which wouldn't happen with the paper systems.” A pilot study tested their platform in Africa with ten thousand animals. But as Chris reveals, they have access to a market of livestock of up to 25 million to date and plan on branching out to four countries. And it's not just cows that their system can help with. He says it also works with sheep, pigs and goats: “our system is ready to do all that.” The company is hoping to make a public announcement in the near future about the work they are doing with the London-based blockchain development business, nChain. “I think we will get into payments ...we're going to be a little less supply chain but a little more of value add,” he notes. With E-livestock Global's digital system in place, not only will the animals benefit but so will the company's customers, says Chris. “We envision as we get to scale that we're going to have different customers, we're going to have commercial farmers, smallholder farmers, governments and large organizations.”At present, cows have ear tags to help farmers identify cattle for their records. But with E-Livestock's vision, these may not be necessary in the future. So MOOve on over ear tags! Blockchain RFIDs might be here to stay!

This technology is inexpensive to implement and it will fundamentally improve the running of your store.   Topics discussed:  What is RFID Sherpas and how does it assist retail entrepreneurs?  Why you want to use RFIDs in your store How Marshall discovered RFID technology  Is RFID technology expensive?  Are there any privacy concerns with using RFID tags in your store?  Examples of stores using this new technology today  Common mistakes stores will make when implementing RFID technology  The future of RFID in retail 

Shadowrun RPG - Episode 5 - "When Gerry met Sally - a dystopian shopping story" with GM Steve A brand new Shadowrun 5th edition game, streamed live on twitch & youtube Thursdays for just two little weeks more. Join us or catch here on Youtube OR as an audio podcast edition in all the podcast places (@SideQuestsLive). Some shadowrunners join up on a mission as 2092s most deniable assets running the shadows in a futuristic fantasy genre that is like no other - welcome back to Shadowrun!  Did you ever feel like experiencing the banal horrors of the future corporate cyberpunk magic infused fantasy world of Shadowrun? How about a nerve graft operations done in the back of a strip mall while some bored wage-slave replaces your spinal tissue by the ice-cream-scoopful? Hey, at least it's got the cucumber water and a full 24 hour return policy. Or when buying an unlocked cellphone (pan) that can't be instantly traced and cataloged by the mirade of corporate overlords who are both literally and figuratively above the law? How about the deadly intrigues of a mafia family drama complete with double crosses and casual murder? Sometimes the life of a Shadowrunner is dodging bullets and spell blasts, other times it's making small important choices about how many RFIDs might be packed into your chow mein dish tracking your every move.  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Cast of Characters  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bela, "BL155", Human Technomancer (Techromancer) Darcy, "Radio", Blighted Human Adept Donnie, "Kat", Human Weapon Specialist Phil, "Gerald", Human Elder Rigger/Pilot Todd, "Mac", Human Former DocWagon Magic-Medic Steve, Gamemaster * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Thanks for joining in as we play games.

Cannabis is still a schedule 1 narcotic (cocaine is a less serious schedule 2).     Cannabis plants have RFIDs on them and are tracked from seed to sale.   Casa Verde's Karan Wadhera tells us why he sees this and other regulations as an opportunity and why he and Snoop set up Casa Verde to invest from $1M to $15M in cannabis startups.

The Mañana habit is one of the most infamous traits that has been dragging us down for as long as we can remember. Not all good things are created equal, and yes, some things take time because it's the natural order, but there are things that we need to take action upon the very start. We'll talk about this and more.

A thing must be measured to be engineered. Emerging technologies like 5G, smart meters and RFIDs are just a small part of what will soon be measuring us all – world-wide. Forget the new world order and the illuminati and prepare for Technocracy as the push to measure and track everything in under way now. Total world-wide surveillance/control/engineering is just around the corner – if we allow it.

Many know it as the tiny tracker that helps people unlock their doors and find their keys, but RFID has a fascinating origin story. The small but mighty tech actually began as a covert listening device over the airfields of WWII. Today, it’s still being used to save lives – in the manufacturing plant. Hear how RFIDs have taken off since the war and where they’re headed next.

Time to answer all the questions you've got burning a hole in your brain! We were joined by Cliff Wright (aka: Mr. Johnson) of The Arcology Podcast. It was a blast! We even had some heated debate.  Chit-Chat / Catching Up Check out our Patreon! - https://www.patreon.com/sixthworldpodcast BOBBY - Star Wars Day, I want a new intro, Fallout 4 Survival Mode News / Stuff A new Earthdawn actual play - Legends of Earthdawn Live show from Origins! Forbidden Arcana is out! Q&A Sparkles (Patron) - For Mr. J and other GMs - When creating content for you campaigns, do you find it more interesting to use character backgrounds, contacts, qualities as source material to drive the direction or do you prefer to drive the campaign thru your own/published content? Player content followed by cannon then my own. Player content makes it easier to get the players invested in the story. Canon material is fun to use as then players can relate when it shows up elsewhere like podcasts, missions...Using my own content can be fun but too often it results in the Ikea Effect (we overvalue things because they are ours versus their inherent value). When I do use my own I try always let the players give me an indication of what they like then will often give creative license to them. Chris Vandergriff (Patron) - Can you do a show on how to use Shadowrun in the wild? The adjustments needed from urban to rural knowledge skills. New contacts available, or new uses for old contacts. The shows favorite or most desired Howling Shadows menace to use. Bobby can we please? I think we can put this on our topics list. Howling Shadows is one of my favorite books and I’ve a wide range of jobs from trips into Eden, Ecuador in Amazon, divind underwater in Aquacology, and sinking a ship with whales & sea lions Keith King (Patron) - Seeing I am now bloody famous (for getting a mention on this podcast), I thought I'd try again. Booby your complex action podcast (which are dead set awesome by the way virtual high-five for Cliff as well) on Matrix Perception really put the Razorcat amongst the phoenician birds for my group. Mostly because we (that’s is to say “I”) was doing it wrong. So now to my question. When you search for hidden icons (unopposed matrix perception test) and you get at least one success. Do you a) get a list of hidden icons (like searching for wifi on your phone) so you effectively know how many hidden icons there are or b) Just get the knowledge that there are hidden icons.   I understand from that point you can start using an opposed matrix perception test (on random hidden icon) to reveal the icon to you. I also get that you can narrow down who you are going to roll against based on something you know about the icon, for example attached to smartlink for guns or is NOT transmitting GPS location to the matrix (mostly to get around the BS pocket full of RFIDs tags trick), but again, would it be like filtering a list in excel and therefore you know how many smartlinked enabled weapons are hidden within 100m of you… Hopefully I have made my question clear enough. If not, email me back and I will reword it.   Cheers guys and bloody top work again Chummers keep it up. Oh and Cassie my players are going need their rubber lined budgie smugglers for their next run… they are off to the party egg. Also I’m Australian if you don’t know what budgie smugglers are.. google it. Your 1 hit on Matrix Perception would get you more of the list of hidden icons in area, same host or 100 meters. There can be a LOT of them. Keep in mind door locks, light fixtures, cameras...are all likely to be running silent to reduce the clutter in Matrix in everyone’s AR. Of course there are just persona who don’t want to stand out too. Technically per core you’d have to start picking them out of that list at randomly and doing opposed test on each one to find out more information. This is why you want to know 1 feature of the icon running silent to filter out all the extras. What a ‘feature’ is can be bit of GM interpretation. I let hackers using AR with line of site to device and icons easier because they know what they are looking for. Super excited to hear you’re going to the party egg! Write us back and let me know how it goes. :) @JenT0n1c - https://twitter.com/JenT0n1c/status/859502922316496896 Victor Breugemann (Facebook) - Does Daylight Saving Time still exist in the Sixth World? Birtha Ming - What is more viable? Spellcasting or Banishing on high force spirits. Assuming your Banishing & Spellcasting Dice pool are 16 (4 bought hits) Facing a Spirit alone with no other runners to help Spirit Man F10 (Not Bound 3 services)  Lightning: 23 opposing dice pool [14, physical track] 4 hits vs 5 spirit has the advantage on this Powerbolt: 11 opposing dice pool [14, physical track] 4 vs 2  = 7 turns to dissipate Manabolt: 10 opposing dice pool [13, stun track] 4 vs 2  = 7.5  turns to dissipate Banishing: 10 opposing dice pool  [3, services][Free Spirit 10] 4 vs 2 = banished 1.5 turns (5 turns free spirit) Spirit Air F8 (Bound 2 services)Assuming Magic 6 Summoner) Lightning: 20 opposing dice pool [11, physical track] 4 hits vs 5 spirit has the advantage on this Powerbolt: 6 opposing dice pool [11, physical track] 4 hits vs 1 = 3.5 turns to dissipate Manabolt: 8 opposing dice pool [12, stun track] 4 hits vs 2 = 6 turns to dissipate Banishing: 16 opposing dice pool  [2, services] 4 vs 4 so this is toss up on who wins Spirit Fire F6 (Bound 2 services(Assuming Magic 6 Summoner) Lightning: 16 opposing dice pool  [12, physical track] Powerbolt: 7 opposing dice pool [12, physical track] Manabolt: 6 opposing dice pool [11, stun track] Banishing: 12 opposing dice pool  [2, services] Drain is risk being higher on banishing & likely physical. Banishing facing higher dice pool than direct spells but lower thresholds.  Indirect spells face the highest opposing dice pool Conclusion: Banishing is more viable than spellcasting for Summoned & Free Spirits but not for Bound Spirits.  Tavares Maintenance - Thanks Cassie! so the last session I had, my physad used a dmso/Gama-Scopolamine dart to paralyze someone. my DM and I were a both hazy on how to handle that drug interaction. He rolled 3 successes against my drug of 12 power and at first he thought the mark wouldn’t be affected. I thought that because of how the gama reads that the mark would be paralyzed still but the length of the drug would be lessened by 3 successes worth. was I wrong? You are right. Gamascopolmaine has power of 12 and your GM only rolled 3 success. Since the power was not reduced to 0 the drug takes effect. The target will be immediately be paralyzed for about an hour. The description doesn’t say net hits reduces that time but it would be fair for a GM to determine it might. After the ~hour of paralysis wears off then the truth serum part kicks in for another hour. Mechanically their Willpower drops by 3 but can’t go below 1 which is going to hurt their resistance to many social skills like Intimidation or spells like Mind Probe.  j Wrex - you mentioned you're a beer snob... which do you prefer: draft, can, or bottle? Ken Miller - Here is a question....why is it that when catalyst drops new material on the market, people race to buy it, then flame it on the forums but still use it? .?.?.?. Happens every time.... Feeding confirmation biases That’s what the internet does……? Sorry I don’t have a better answer. :) It’s a tough circle because we all love dear mother Shadowrun and many of us love our freelancers & content creators step-siblings...Our drunk gluttonous step father Catalyst won’t get off the couch. SO long as Shadowrun & Catalyst are joined by a license we’re in this family.

Katherine Albrecht is the Founder and Director of CASPIAN (Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering) and host of The Katherine Albrecht Show. She's the author of, "The Spychips Threat: Why Christians Should Resist RFID and Electronic Surveillance" and "Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Purchase and Watch Your Every Move. "   Facebook recently conducted an experiment on its users, without their knowledge. Albrecht explains why this was wrong on so many levels and if Facebook will be punished for its actions.    Albrecht then discusses why RFIDs are against Christian principles. Corporations track our spending habits for marketing purposes. The government does it for security purposes. Albrecht talks about what the big deal is.   Dr. Katherine Albrecht is the director of CASPIAN (Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering), an organization she founded in 1999 to advocate free-market, consumer-based solutions to the problem of retail privacy invasion.     Katherine is widely recognized as one of the world's leading experts on consumer privacy. She regularly speaks on the consumer privacy and civil liberties impacts of new technologies, with an emphasis on RFID and retail issues. She has testified on RFID technology before the Federal Trade Commission, state legislatures, the European Commission, and the Federal Reserve Bank, and she has given over a thousand television, radio and print interviews to news outlets all over the world. Her efforts have been featured on CNN, NPR, the CBS Evening News, Business Week, and the London Times, to name just a few.     Executive Technology Magazine has called Katherine "perhaps the country's single most vocal privacy advocate" and Wired magazine calls her the "Erin Brockovich" of RFID". Her success exposing corporate misdeeds has earned her accolades from Advertising Age and Business Week and caused pundits to label her a PR genius.     Katherine is co-author of "Spychips: How Major Corporations Plan to Track your Every Move with RFID." Two days prior to its release, Spychips flew the top of the Amazon bestseller charts, hitting number one as a "Mover & Shaker," making its way to the top-ten nonfiction bestseller list, and spending weeks as a Current Events bestseller. Within its first four weeks alone, the book sold thousands of copies, and the journalistic and privacy communities called it "brilliantly written," "stunningly powerful," and "scathing." In a nod to the book's focus on freedom, Spychips was awarded the prestigious Lysander Spooner Award for Advancing the Literature of Liberty and named "the best book on liberty" for 2005.     Katherine is a highly sought-after public speaker, informing audiences across Europe and North America with her well-researched, compelling, and often chilling accounts of how retail surveillance technology threatens our privacy.

First official season of Startup Lehigh Valley kicks off with @anthonydurante and @TechonomicMan connecting remotely due to the snow. @anthonydurante talks about a few new companies at the AEDC's incubator, and @TechonomicMan does not. There some talk about Google's recent acquisition, and how it relates to the Internet of Things. Jack Romaine joins the conversation talking about how RFIDs are becoming more ubiquitous, as well as his experience incubating his company in the Lehigh Valley. At the end, @TechonomicMan riffs on the Startup Name Game to talk about some recent companies that secured funding.

Adam the Woo, Escape from Tomorrow: Are they behaving badly? Also some side notes about RFIDs.

Hypothesis, thesis, antithesis. It's those three words that distill the Scientific Method. A way of thinking that has brought our society the majority of the gifts given to itself over the last thousand years. But some people (mainly from the Southern US, to be frank) have decried this methodology, believing it unknowable when an inkling becomes a theory. This is all just as well, because the folks over at Godlike Productions have come up with a new crucible: Go to a hideous website, explain your theory to uncaring nitwits, and if you still believe what you think by the time the thread dies, your statement is fact. This week, The F Plus all have our hands on our vaginas.

Radio Frequency ID chip technologies are "too vulnerable in too many ways," says Chris Paget, ethical hacker and partner for H4RDW4RE, a new company creating privacy and security solutions to existing RFID problems in the marketplace. The public has been made aware of RFID or Radio Frequency ID technologies commissioned for national identity documents: passports, Enhanced Drivers Licenses, TWIC cards, Speed Passes and even Tribal Identity Cards. Unfortunately, RFID as a government sanctioned technology earned a big brother reputation from its ability to track a persons current location, storing and conveying private information from 20 - 30 feet away. Chris Paget, a technology penetration consultant, found the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative compliant RFIDs especially troublesome. He began doing live demonstrations exposing identity security flaws RFIDs had on average cardholders. Then Chris Paget and his business partner Tim Mullen formed H4RDW4RE.com. They have made it their business to demonstrate exactly how insecure Western Hemisphere compliant RFID chips can be for people to possess in identity cards, smart-contactless cards and credit cards. In this interview they explain the benefits of technology penetration testing or "ethical hacking" for investors and adopters. One of Paget's demonstrations went viral via YouTube in February, blowing apart any faint notion of RFID's billing as a secure identity technology. Equipped with only a $250 signal reader and a conventional laptop which he cloned or copied private passport information from a parked car in San Francisco. H4RDW4RE recently featured high profile demonstrations at 2009 conventions like DefCon & Black Hat and continue to invent solutions for the security problems and risks ordinary people face from identity technologies present in U.S. passports and other public cards.

Radio Frequency Identification Tags, kurz RFID, sollen in Zukunft den Strichcode auf Lebensmitteln ablösen, in Pässe integriert oder als BVG-Fahrschein dienen. Als Klebeetikett oder "kontaktlose" Chipkarte sendet eine winzige Antenne Datenpakete an ein Empfangsgerät. Anders als bisher muss die Chipkarte nicht mehr in ein Schlitz gesteckt werden, sondern wird einfach in die Nähe vom Lesegerät gehalten. Oder das Lesegerät wird in die Nähe der Chipkarte gehalten.... Chaosradio will euch erklären, wie diese Dinger funktionieren, wo Industrie und Staat uns diese klebrigen Freunde unterjubeln will, und welche interessanten Datenspuren dabei entstehen. Von euch möchten wir wissen, ob ihr die Vorzüge des "kontaktlosen" Bezahlens als Vorteil seht oder ob euch diese Technologie eher suspekt ist.
