Documentation: 60%
Support: until first Beta release
Stability: Low
Features: Developing
Audited: No

Compute Asset reached Alpha release and is available for black-box testing. This release also expanded the problem space that Compute Asset can solve substantially. Some highlights include:

  1. Beside reporting your health status, you can now report an endless number of statuses about you and the environment around you, from pot holes on the road to lost handbags to active shooter in the building.

  2. Another new feature is the change from a one way data collection into bidirectional asset exchange. All your reports are now tracked with blockchain secured interval coins, so you have a trusted ledger on how much data contributions you have made.
