BitSpace Newsletter September 2018

In its third year as a company, BitSpace is rapidly gaining experience on many fronts. From project incubation, witness operations to consulting work, here is a status update for the month of September 2018.

Our flagship project BitGate is close to being released and is undergoing closed beta testing at the moment. The BitGate wallet currently supports registering and signing in with BankID, sending and receiving BTC at your BitGate BTC address, as well as instant, free transactions between BitGate users.

BitSpace has recently finished a project for Norway’s biggest bank DNB, designing a solution for editing and signing contracts on the blockchain. The proof of concept was developed over the summer and finalized and presented at the DNB headquarters in August. BitSpace is very pleased to have DNB as a client, and we are hopeful that the project lays the foundation for further cooperation on bigger projects.

We are just over two months away from the biggest event of the year, CryptoFinance 2018. Featuring highly regarded personalities such as Colin Cantrell (Nexus), Ivan Liljeqvist (YouTube) and Vit Jedlička (president of Liberland), as well as hosting 40 leading EOS block producers for the Global EOS BP Summit, CryptoFinance will be a significant blockchain event on a global scale.

In our effort to build connections, be visible and bring value to the Norwegian IT and business communities, we always aim at participating and speaking at relevant events. Recently, we have presented at The Factory`s Kickoff event. The Factory organizes one of the leading startup accelerator programs in Norway, to which BitSpace was selected in the fall of 2016. We were also featuring at ICO for Breakfast, organized by DLA Piper, an event focusing on the legal aspects of ICOs. Finally, as a part of establishing our presence in Trondheim, BitSpace CEO Manuel Lains spoke about Blockchain and Emerging Technologies at NTNU University for INASCON 2018, an international nanoscience conference.

BitSpace also announced its partnership with Green Mountain in August. Green Mountain is a datacenter located in an actual mountain, right where the the landscape meets the fjords, enabling them to use 100 % renewable hydropower to operate and cool their award-winning, high-efficiency data facilities.

In August, BitSpace announced a partnership with Nexus, a peer-to-peer network that improves on the speed, scalability, security, and accessibility of current blockchain protocols. The partnership helps new global business models integrate with Space Technology built around blockchain, and facilitates growth on an intercontinental level for developers, entrepreneurs and communities.
