Zombie研究人员宣称将对约翰·迈克菲（John McAfee）提出1亿美元的诉讼

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

如果你最近没有关注约翰·迈克菲（John McAfee）的精彩故事，那么你就错过了他作为加密货币促进者职业生涯中另一个令人难以置信的篇章。这位有望成为美国自由党总统候选人似乎又与一种志气满怀的暗黑币发生冲突，而如今他们要求1亿美元的赔偿。

2019年8月15日，推特上的初次冒出头的South China Zombie Research Center声称他们可以训练僵尸（他们确信僵尸真的存在），在接受加密货币付款后不吃人。为了开发这种加密货币，他们聘请了约翰·迈克菲为他们撰写白皮书，并推动他们的CZ币事业。

约翰·迈克菲，尽管不完全相信所谓的僵尸威胁，但没有拒绝该提案，并开始在推特上支持他们的项目。

I believe the South China Zombie Research Center has a high likelihood of being totally fraudulent. But – they are paying me, and in the one chance in a million that they are not a fraud, I did ask them to post to the public about measures they use to keep zombies in. Here it is: https://t.co/CFFIDS0ib1

数家新闻媒体指出，这一切听起来匪夷所思，但Zombie研究人员和迈克菲都否认这不是一个笑话。为了证明这一点，迈克菲于9月4日发布了他的白皮书初稿。他在前两页的主要介绍他的任职条件，以及他对这个项目的个人信念。

我还得到了一个惊人百分比的货币。我所获得预付现金额为450万美元。此外，我要求并已收到他们打算发行的全部货币中的20%。

即使有人拿着枪指着我的头，我也没办法作出任何比以下声明更正面的保证：不要投资这个烂货币！不管是在任何情况下、任何时候、以任何理由。

只有白痴才会考虑，即使在最极端扭曲的现实情况下，投资这个货币或这面目可憎的所有分支！

这前言还清楚点出两个重点。首先，迈克菲承诺忠于他的信念或明显怀疑该项目。第二，他相信如果美国证券交易委员会对他卷入此事展开调查，他的诚实应该会让他洗脱任何罪名。

Zombie Research Center在这场闹剧中忠于他们的角色，迅速作出回应，称他们是另一个据称迈克菲骗局的受害者：

而迈克菲则回应说，这完全是个天大的误会。

This is a misunderstanding. My "Disclaimer" section is an exaggerated, tongue in cheek rendering of what will appear in the final paper. I clearly stated: "Preliminary Incomplete". Nuanced humor is alien to the chinese culture. They will drop the $100 million suit when I explain. https://t.co/Dwjs0Ojqkd

整个故事引起的问题比任何人想要回答的还要多。这是一个宣传伎俩吗？这些僵尸研究人员或迈克菲是认真的吗？还是他只是想以讽刺手法传达信息？我们可能需要多一些时间才能厘清事情的来龙去脉，因为迈克菲在暗示他被塞尔维亚毒贩绑架了。

I've been kidnapped by men in an armored limo. They speak Serbian with heavy Australian accents and claim to be only partially circumcised (left half of foreskin). I saw little benefit and declined to follow suit. They got good drugs. Should I sound an alarm or invite my friends? pic.twitter.com/trd7UiKgxI

biggest buzzword of the past decade, with many touting it as the future of technology. Blockchain technology is at the center of this revolution. As Dereck Hoogenkamp told CoinGeek Backstage, combining these two technologies could change the world as we know it and push us towards a world we only see in sci-fi movies.

Hoogenkamp, chairman and managing director of investment firm Yalla Limited, was on a number of panels at the LEAP 2022 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to share his expertise on the intersection of finance, real estate, and technology. He also joined CoinGeek’s Becky Liggero on the sidelines of the event to talk about the sessions, saying, “It’s really a lot of fun. It’s super interesting to talk about blockchain, metaverse, virtual land on the metaverse and more.”

Everyone has something that excites them about the metaverse, and for Hoogenkamp, it’s the intersection of the metaverse and the physical world. Developers of real estate projects are increasingly designing parallel twins of their projects on the metaverse.

“If something changes in the real world, it also changes in the metaverse. This has a lot of advantages, for example, through facility management,” he explained.

As Hoogenkamp explains, physical real estate projects will have changes made to them reflecting on the metaverse. For instance, if something breaks down in an apartment building, one can easily update that on the digital twin of the project and have it attended immediately.

As the metaverse grows, developers are becoming more and more creative in using the technology. One has created a ‘petaverse,’ a metaverse with pets, allowing pet owners to interact virtually on a random dog walk.

Bolder developments include having artificial intelligence-based recreations of people who have passed on, Hoogenkamp went on. This enables you to interact with friends and relatives you’ve lost along the way on the metaverse, which, as Becky noted, is the actualization of a Black Mirror episode.

The metaverse comes with its caveats, including online crime since people are emboldened by the perceived lack of consequences for their actions. Hoogenkamp believes that one of the ways to mitigate this is through linking any virtual world to the physical world.

“A lot of people hide behind fake characters or cartoons. […] But you can verify with blockchain. You can see if an avatar is really linked to an actual person. Then blockchain adds trust and verification and timestamps and everything else,” he noted.

“I believe the integration of blockchain with metaverse is mega important,” Hoogenkamp said.

The metaverse is going to change the world as we know it, Dereck Hoogenkamp tells CoinGeek Backstage

event, held at the University of Dubai, was a great opportunity for experts from industry, government, and academia to educate each other on how blockchain can best be deployed in the modern world.

In-person and remote attendees presented on a range of subjects, with a focus on Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) and how it can integrate with the BSV blockchain to create a more secure internet. IPv6, which was launched in 2012, is the next generation Internet Protocol address standard intended to replace its predecessor IPv4.

The old IPv4 protocol has only 4.3 billion unique addresses whereas IPv6 offers 340 trillion, trillion, trillion unique addresses. Therefore, IPv6 can facilitate the explosion of interconnected IOT devices (smartphones, tablets, wearables etc) in a way that IPv4 is unable to.

In his speech at the conference, Dr. Craig Wright explained that IPv6 was originally enabled into the first version of Bitcoin way back in 2009, but it was turned off after he stopped being part of the development team.

“IPv6 enables end-to-end connectivity and that was part of the foundation of Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s not a peer-to-peer network … it’s an end-to-end communication platform allowing individuals through IP to IP to connect directly.”

Dr. Wright made the point that in our increasingly interconnected world, it’s important to ensure that devices can communicate in a secure and private way without relying on intermediaries. He explained why trusting large tech companies with our data is a mistake and how using a cloud-and-IPv6 system with BSV as a base layer is a far safer option.

Latif Ladid, founder and president of the IPv6 forum and a steering committee member of the IEEE blockchain, was sold on Dr. Wright’s vision and found it a “great honour” to have him in attendance.

“With IPv6 we’ll do it with BSV, that’s quite clear to us, because that’s really the solution for everyone because the cost is very low, and the deployment is very efficient, so we see here a very big vision for the internet to be, combining IPv6 and blockchain down the road,” Ladid said.

Dubai is the perfect place for representatives of the BSV blockchain and IEEE members to discuss this subject. The self-proclaimed ‘city of the future’ has proved itself to be a frontrunner in technological innovation. The UAE government has launched a range of initiatives in recent years including the Dubai Blockchain Strategy which aims to help Dubai become the first city in the world to operate fully on blockchain technology.

Dubai is serious about fulfilling this aim and has embarked on a range of ambitious projects to achieve this vision. For example, the Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai is finalising a project that will create a vehicle lifecycle management system using blockchain technology. The system will provide those buying, selling, or insuring a car with a transparent record of its history from manufacturer to scrap yard, improving trust in transactions.

BSV blockchain’s association Founding President Jimmy Nguyen is confident that the future looks bright for BSV in the UAE. He explains that the UAE’s blockchain policy “marries well with our BSV message of let’s make a blockchain that’s useful for everything, for everyone, for all kinds of data and payment applications so that’s why we’re here. We’re seeing a lot of traction here and they need a chain that can scale if you want to support nationwide activity.”

Nguyen and the team will be back in Dubai from May 24-26, 2022, for the BSV Global Blockchain Convention which will showcase the utility and wide range of solutions possible on the BSV Blockchain. Visit the official BSV Global Blockchain Convention website here.
