P 4 UIoT—pay-per-piece patch update delivery for IoT using gradual release—introduces a distributed framework for delivering patch updates to IoT devices. The framework facilitates distribution via peer-to-peer delivery networks and incentivizes the distribution operation. The peer-to-peer delivery network reduces load by delegating the patch distribution to the nodes of the network, thereby protecting against a single point of failure and reducing costs. Distributed file-sharing solutions currently available in the literature are limited to sharing popular files among peers. In contrast, the proposed protocol incentivizes peers to distribute patch updates, which might be relevant only to IoT devices, using a blockchain-based lightning network. A manufacturer/owner named vendor of the IoT device commits a bid on the blockchain, which can be publicly verified by the members of the network. The nodes, called distributors, interested in delivering the patch update, compete among each other to exchange a piece of patch update with cryptocurrency payment. The pay-per-piece payments protocol addresses the problem of misbehavior between IoT devices and distributors as either of them may try to take advantage of the other. The pay-per-piece protocol is a form of a gradual release of a commodity like a patch update, where the commodity can be divided into small pieces and exchanged between the sender and the receiver building trust at each step as the transactions progress into rounds. The permissionless nature of the framework enables the proposal to scale as it incentivizes the participation of individual distributors. Thus, compared to the previous solutions, the proposed framework can scale better without any overhead and with reduced costs. A combination of the Bitcoin lightning network for cryptocurrency incentives with the BitTorrent delivery network is used to present a prototype of the proposed framework. Finally, a financial and scalability evaluation of the proposed framework is presented.

In this 20th Century Digital World, the Initial Coins Offer (ICO) acts as fundraisers for a start-up that is related to technology. There have been many successful ICOs launches over the past several years that have resulted in giving investors good returns for their investments. However, the lack of regulatory framework has resulted in the unregulated position and the unidentified nature of the dealings involved. There is a substantial number of ICOs which were scams and have resulted in multi-million-dollar fraud schemes. Potential Investors of ICOs are presently susceptible to misrepresentations, scam, and exploitation. Unlike the traditional mode of fundraising such as Initial Public Offer (IPO) where investors can access information through the vetted official prospectus of the proposed company which includes past financial performance and projected future operations together with all related financial statements. However, ICO potential investors for proposed ICO projects are only able to access and scrutinize published ICO whitepapers. ICO whitepapers are the only available documents or the source information that investors can access and rely on to make an informed judgment and investment decision. This research paper will highlight the important areas that should be rigorously studied and verified by potential investors when making an investment decision and to identify and distinguish the indicators of scam or fraudulent ICO project. Potential investors should familiarise themselves with the various types of ICO token and property rights attached accordingly as each token possesses a unique bundle of property rights. The property rights of ICO token together with the ERC-20 token standard which consists of six mandatory rules would serve as a useful guide for the potential investor to understand and to evaluate the legal, operational and governance of the framework of ICO projects in order to make an informed and appropriate investment decision.

Resource consumption in residential areas requires novel contributions in the field of consumer information management and collaborative mechanisms for the exchange of resources, in order to optimize the overall consumption of the community. We propose an authorization system to facilitate access to consumer information and resource trading, based on blockchain technology. Our proposal is oriented to the Smart communities, an evolution of Community Energy Management Systems, in which communities are involved in the monitoring and coordination of resource consumption. The proposed environment allows a more reliable management of monitoring and authorization functions, with secure data access and storage and delegation of controller functions among householders. We provide the definition of virtual assets for energy and water resource sharing as an auction, which encourages the optimization of global consumption and saves resources. The proposed solution is implemented and validated in application scenarios that demonstrate the suitability of the defined consensus mechanism, trustworthiness in the level of provided security for resource monitoring and delegation and reduction on resource consumption by the resource trading contribution.
