I was reminded by LinkedIn that today marks the two year anniversary since I decided to officially focus on Lampix full time. I am looking back at what we had two years ago compared to what we have today. I am shocked. Every day feels like somewhat of a fight and a struggle but, if you look back at the path behind us, it feels we have climbed Mount Everest twice already.

The secret of building companies? It is the same as climbing a mountain. From time to time, I look at the map and the path ahead, but most of the time I just focus on the next step. Another secret? Focus on what the customers want. Put yourself in the customer's shoes. Forget what you know. Forget what you've previously built. Instead, imagine you are a new person who has never seen anything from Lampix and knows nothing. How will they react?

One other trick. Make it as simple as possible. Idiot proof. One button if possible. Try to make it so it doesn't need instruction. Could your grandmother figure out how to use it?

I am trying to imagine where we will be in two years from now. I honestly think it is hard to predict. We are now accelerating. Time is of the essence. Time is our most valuable asset. If you can save a day today, it will translate into being ahead of the market, the competition, and the deadline by months sooner or later.

At Lampix, we have the means to do whatever we choose to do. It all depends on us. We are aiming high. What does Apple, Google, or Facebook have that we don't have? Nothing. I believe we have it all. Our vision is to free human-computer interaction from digital screens, mice, and keyboards. We are ahead. We have the means.

How will we get there? Our priorities now are:

1 Kickstarter for Lampix in January or February and delivering by July 2018
2 One POC per month sold--preferably a well-known client
3 Building PIX ecosystem Beta by June 2018
4 Getting as many people as possible in the crypto space familiar with PIX token
5 Signing up 1 PIX data client by June 2018

I am not sure how coinmarketcap updates their market listings.  I can inquire and see what their response is.

Edit: it looks like it has to do with volume.  In their request form one of the requirements is

"Do the markets have at least $1000 USD equivalent of daily trading volume? *"

So I guess at some point the daily trading volume has to be at $1000.  I"ve seen markets listed at less but I suppose at some point it may have been at the minimum or they may have changed it, not sure.  You can request new markets on their site under the Request Form link on the bottom.

Hello All.  Here is a summary of announcements and discussions consolidated from all our communities over the past 2 weeks that you may have missed:

Discussions/FAQ

What are the advantages of the PIX Imagine Mining Ecosystem over Simple Image Data Scraping?

1. Quality of dataset.  You want the best possible dataset for the best results and if you are a company any edge you can against competition.
2. Clean categorization of dataset (simple data scraping may bring in unrelated images due to the ambiguity of search terms and language)
3. Companies will have legal issues using copyrighted images through data scraping.

yes,  have been  expecting for a long time that some real improvement on this project  was  released  some day.  still waiting, hold tight.

This is very good update which came out at this stage just before the end of this year. New year will start with great even's hosting by Lampix team. I am watching this project in post ICO era with much more interest than ever to see where it is heading for in coming months.

It's all right, but what about anonymity? You care about the project in restaurants, cafes. And suddenly, users do not want to disclose their identity? Pay attention to the anonymous crypt currency DeepOnion, when you start DeepSend, anonymity will reach 100%. Think about it.

This is not a public company where you can buy stock. 

The crytocurrency token symbol is PIX.

There are two components, the Lampix device and the data ecosystem.  The data ecosystem will use PIX tokens (ERC20 token).

From the website: https://www.lampix.co/#/pix (the whitepaper is available there in 6 different languages: English, Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese)

To enable Lampix to reach its full potential, we need to build a billion-picture-and-description database. We will use PIX tokens to grow the data ecosystem through purchases and payments.

PIX token usage:

Spend PIX Purchases   
Data from the database
A Lampix device
Buy Lampix Apps
Cloud computing service (Lampix GAS)

Earn PIX Payments
Picture miners

Develop Lampix Apps

The Future of Mixed Reality is on the Blockchain: How blockchain is transforming the art economy

Mixed Reality (MR) - the hybrid of AR and VR - merges real and virtual environments to produce beautiful and unique experiences and visualizations. It is used as an independent concept as well as to classify the spectrum of technologies often referred to as reality-virtuality continuum. MR covers all possible areas including variations and compositions of real and virtual objects.

Blockchain, the technology that enables crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin, is now disrupting every industry, so we are increasingly seeing interesting examples emerge of companies incorporating blockchain into their offering, and AR is no exception.

In this new decentralized world, art has been one of the first and greatest use cases. Artists who otherwise would have been forced to use a large-scale centralized company to distribute their work are now able to distribute work in a decentralized way and to receive rewards for their creations without profit-skimming corporate structures in place.
