In an exclusive interview, we explore the innovative strides BLOCX. is making to simplify and unify everyday computing and digital asset management. From integrating critical web3 and web2 functionalities into a singular suite to enhancing user experience with comprehensive security and management tools, BLOCX. stands at the forefront of digital solutions. Discover how BLOCX. aims to revolutionize the way we interact with technology, ensuring efficiency, security, and convenience for users worldwide.
1. Can you elaborate on how BLOCX. aims to simplify everyday computing needs with its all-in-one computer manager?
BLOCX. is dedicated to bringing everything you need right to your fingertips, encapsulating the power of both web3 and web2 tools within a single suite. Imagine having an all-in-one computer manager at your disposal, with plans to extend this convenience to your phone in later phases.
In today’s digital age, everyone recognizes the critical importance of virus protection for their computers. Many virus protection software packages come equipped with features like a Password Vault, VPN, and Safe Browser. But imagine consolidating all these essentials into one place. BLOCX offers this and more, including Remote Access, Afterburner, AI, Cloud Services, and, importantly for enthusiasts, crypto-related tools such as a Wallet, Swap, and a Distributed Computing Marketplace.
Why juggle multiple software solutions when you can have it all from a single source? BLOCX. promises unparalleled convenience by integrating all the tools you need into one seamless experience.
2. What drove the decision to incorporate features like malware protection, password vaults, and non-custodial crypto wallets into the BLOCX. platform?
The decision to incorporate and start development was really born from the lack of comprehensive tools available within a single software suite. This realization hit home personally when I was engaged in cryptocurrency mining. For mining, I found myself juggling between remote access tools, Afterburner for GPU overclocking, and a separate crypto wallet. Each of these was a different software solution, highlighting the inefficiency and inconvenience of using multiple programs. This experience sparked the question: Why deal with multiple software applications when you could have everything integrated into one suite?
Thus, BLOCX. is fundamentally about convenience. We acknowledge that creating such a platform is a long process. Our goal is to deliver all these essential tools in their basic versions by 2024. While initial releases will focus on core functionalities, they will effectively meet the users’ needs. Then, 2025 will be dedicated to advancing these tools, enhancing their features, and extending some of the solutions to mobile devices.
3. How does BLOCX? plan to adapt to future challenges and evolving digital needs while maintaining user-centric innovation?
We boast a highly experienced team that engages in extensive research daily. Before integrating any new functionalities, we meticulously evaluate all aspects, weighing the pros and cons to ensure we always devise a solution. We believe that the vibrancy of our teams and the regularity of our meetings to discuss processes and engage in discussions are key to overcoming any challenges we may face. As of now, I can proudly say that we haven’t encountered any challenges, sometimes, it just takes a little extra time to ensure everything is functioning smoothly and the workflow is seamless.
Once again, I want to emphasize that our team is not only qualified but also sufficiently large to maintain our momentum. We are all united by a single goal and are fully supportive of one another.
4. The upcoming Top 10 Exchange listing in March 2024 is anticipated to be a significant milestone for BLOCX. How do you envision this listing impacting the platform’s growth and user adoption?
The listing has already taken place, specifically on Gate.io. Our primary objective was to enlarge our presence in the global market, thereby enhancing liquidity, expanding our reach to more people, and undoubtedly, augmenting our marketing efforts. We firmly believe that this decision aligns with our roadmap and serves our long-term goals.
It’s always reassuring to find a project to be listed on reputable exchanges when conducting a search.
5. BLOCX. Storage and BLOCX. GPU and CPU Marketplace offer unique opportunities for users to leverage their computing resources. Could you discuss how these features align with the platform’s vision and ecosystem?
Certainly, as mentioned earlier, BLOCX aims to consolidate web2 and web3 tools into one comprehensive suite. The inclusion of features like Afterburner and Remote Access implies the potential for clients to harness their computational power. This motivates us to introduce a marketplace where users can effortlessly rent out their computational resources. While we consider the Marketplace a vital component of our ecosystem, we recognize the significance of other aspects as well. When considering crypto and computer management, everything on our roadmap and in our current development aligns seamlessly. Think of BLOCX. as Microsoft is to Windows, we strive to be the ultimate all-in-one solution for crypto and everyday computer management.
6. The integration of Ethereum Mainnet and Binance Smart Chain in the Webwallet upgrade seems promising. How will this integration benefit users, especially in managing their digital assets?
This feature was included in our recent update as we integrated the Swap function into our Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet. The Swap feature will also be extended to our Desktop Software in the future, but this expansion requires the availability of other currencies. However, this is just the beginning, expect to see many more chains and currencies added in the future. Although BLOCX. is not EVM compatible, we are committed to ensuring that all necessary functionalities are in place for effective communication with other chains.
7. With the introduction of Remote Access in BLOCX. Desktop V1.2, what security measures are in place to ensure secure connectivity and data transfer between devices?
Initially, our remote access feature is basic, offering encrypted usernames and passwords for secure login. Users can control their computers and perform file transfers. In future iterations, we plan to implement additional security layers that automatically scan files and detect potentially malicious code. It’s important to note that the current version is designed for our users to access their own devices and requires BLOCX. Desktop to be installed on both ends.
8. Could you elaborate on the process of renting out computing power and customized cloud space within the BLOCX. ecosystem, particularly in terms of rewards and user incentives?
Sure, the Customized Cloud is a feature we haven’t started working on yet. However, it’s designed to allow users to create a personalized cloud from different devices that have BLOCX. installed on them. Users can then utilize this cloud, but it will only be functional when the devices are online and connected to the internet. Additionally, users will have the option to rent out this storage space to others.
Furthermore, we’re planning to introduce a Decentralized Cloud, which users can rent from our Partner. More information on this will be released soon.
Computing Power rental is another feature currently in development and is expected to be released in about 2.5 months. Renters will be able to select a device they prefer, after which they can connect to the device using a terminal. This enables them to run rendering jobs, machine learning tasks, or simply use the computing power for regular tasks. Each rentee sets their own fixed pricing, which can be on a per-minute or per-hour basis. The cost is calculated by the minute, so when the renter disconnects, they will be charged for the number of minutes used. Subsequently, the rentee will be rewarded with the corresponding amount of BLOCX.
9. How is BLOCX? handle decentralized governance through its masternodes, and what role do users play in the decision-making process within the platform?
The governance system is designed for both users and our developers. If users have any requests, ideas, or contributions, they can set up a proposal and put it to a vote. The same applies to us, the developers and management team, if we have a proposal, we will present it for voting, including the amount of BLOCX requested. The decision then lies with our Masternode Owners, who vote yes or no. If the yes votes exceed the no votes by 20%, the proposal is considered passed and will be funded.
10. The minimum requirement of 100 BLOCX. credited to users’ accounts to access the platform’s tools is an interesting approach. Could you explain the rationale behind this requirement and its implications for user engagement and platform sustainability?
Sure, as we offer an all-in-one suite, we’ve adopted a different approach. Instead of requiring payment from users, we ask them to hold 100 BLOCX at this point, which may change in the future as the price fluctuates. The reason behind this is that we don’t want to impose charges on our users, we want them to feel free to use our software. However, we do ask that they hold some coins. Imagine people holding BLOCX to access the software. Additionally, people will lock them in masternodes, both regular and lite masternodes. They’ll also use BLOCX for cloud services and BLOCX. Marketplace. Lastly, we’ll introduce premium features in the future where users will need to collateralize some funds. With this approach, we ensure that our Coin and Ecosystem has a strong use case and will always be in demand.
