How PressCoin all fits together, and how it Happened!

In many ways, PressCoin has been in the making for years.

With Runa, our recognition was the the world is a funnel, and that only data-driven optimization (which has no personal bias, the death knell for merchandising) could help solve the problems faced by online e-commerce players, in their war for customers, with the big gorilla eating their lunch -- Amazon.

With all things non-trivial, it is about architecture and design. A well architected, layered, well factored system is highly flexible, resilient, and scalable.

Therefore, with PressCoin, we began with the overarching lay of the new ground, from which will sprout the fruits of our work.

Here then, is a high-level stack diagram of the PressCoin Ecosystem:

For those who're familiar with architecture/layer diagrams, this will seem straightforward.

Here, the Cointype and CointypeX form the basis of the crypto/fiat/payments side of the world. Cointype abstracts the invisible flow of money and transactions into a set of deeply integrated APIs. Quintype, similarly abstracts away modern omni-channel digital experience capabilities, as well as a set of strong higher-level abstractions for seamless enterprise integration, analytics, AI and personalization, big data, etc. Between Cointype and Quintype, modern businesses have complete programmatic control over the intangible money flows, as well as the tangible feature flows of any product or service built on it.

The PressCoin layer further creates domain-specific abstractions that are useful by all the main platforms being built on top of it, as well as everything to come after. The PressCoin.TV layer is also a common platform to create a digital-first video production platform, as well as a large-scale collaboration workspace. Packages from here would interface with legacy cable, which would be a single-dimensional experience of the whole -- an interactive, multi-screen experience, powered by the PressCoin apps and services.

The PressCoin Venture arm also behaves in this common, strategically aligned way. By scouting the world for innovative talent and technology, PressCoin is counting on disrupting itself, in a continuous process. The DNA of technology startups, innovation, entrepreneurship, and a shared vision for improving our world -- this is what powers PressCoin, has gotten us this far, and will take us well over the finish line. A little bit more on these interesting projects can be found here.

There is some clear minded thinking around how this works. Each yellow circle represents a specific platform, in various stages of design and development, for a specific sphere of news/public life. Each of these spaces are perfect for the blockchain economy.

For instance, take one example. Ask yourself, in the age of platforms, in the age of Facebook, and LinkedIn, and Twitter, and SnapChat, and Yelp, and OpenTable, and so many platforms for so many things, in the age of such divided public opinions around political news, what is the world's platform for elections? If one wishes to partake in their local, state, or national democratic elections process, or learn about the current state of things in any geography / election in the world, where is the platform for one to do that? Where can one engage the challengers, or connect with their incumbents? Where can one track manifestos, or rate their performances, in real-time, across issues, across geographical boundaries, across all the dimensions of measurement we apply and should apply to our political system?

We looked, and couldn't find one, and so NextElection is building one. They're releasing something shortly, so we're excited!

Answering questions like the one above, where is the platform for... gives you a pretty good idea of the ones that are in the pipeline.

As another example, if one were to ask, with all these platforms out there, with so much chatter about politics and nationalism and all that, where is the News Platform for the World? Where does one go to have civil discourse on news and events and analysis, to see larger connections, to collaborate with others, not to win wars of words, but to move things forward in constructive ways? We couldn't find any such platform, so PressCoin is building one called Insurge Intelligence, we'll have more to say about it very shortly, a beta experiment is being planned as we speak.

The Platform for News Media Platforms

PressCoin is very meta. But only a huge step back, and bold vision, backed by the smarts and the technology can manifest this. Support our ICO here.

So that's our high level look at how we've laid out the land, each platform being a world within the PressCoin Universe, all on the same invisible rails, digital and financial, and many other shared services.
