Soon Available in 10 Languages, the Book Also Offers a Historical Perspective of Black Art

New York, NY, 26th April 2021, ZEXPRWIRE – Art historian, collector, and author Charles Moore is pleased to announce the translation of his popular book, “The Black Market: A Guide to Art Collecting,” into 10 additional languages. Originally released in September 2020, the new languages will be available in the coming weeks and will make his in-depth knowledge of Black artists available to a global audience. 

“The Black Market: A Guide to Art Collecting” takes readers on a journey from the remarkable beginnings of Black artists through the modern-day process of acquiring and protecting this coveted artwork. In his book, Moore offers insight on Black artists from 1900 through 1990, including literature reviews regarding Black culture, and related museum exhibitions, galleries, shows and auctions. To educate novice collectors, Moore has included a helpful glossary of terms, as well as insight on insurance, storage and maintenance. 

“This book was written to help guide individuals who are interested in collecting the impressive work of Black artists, but don’t know where to begin,” said Moore. “It’s essential that new collectors begin with books on the subject before collecting the artwork, to help understand and develop their taste before investing. It’s my hope that this book offers valuable guidance as people begin their journey, providing an appreciation for the deep roots of Black art while also educating about the process.”

The book highlights a number of eye-opening interviews that range in topic from a Black artist who also collects Black art, to a renowned art school and residency revealing their secrets to help readers understand their role in the industry. Readers are also treated to a collection of Moore’s essays based on his interactions with successful Black artists from all walks of life – from Ivy League graduates to college dropouts. 

In addition to the English version, Moore’s book will be available in Italian, German, French, Chinese (Mandarin), Arabic, Turkish, Portuguese, Hindi, Bulgarian and Dutch in the coming weeks. He will share his favorite excerpts from the book at a reading on June 30, 2021, at the Fridman Gallery, located at 169 Bowery Street in New York City. 

“The Black Market: A Guide to Art Collecting” is currently available for sale on Amazon. For additional information about Moore, visit Charlessmoore.

Madrid, Spain, 24th April 2021, ZEXPRWIRE – Open Data Interoperable Network, an innovative system developed by GeoDB, is now live on the Binance Smart Chain(BSC). The primary objective that ODIN hopes to achieve is to create an interactive ecosystem by playing the role of a data oracle network. On top of that, the protocol’s architecture seeks to serve users through a decentralized trading and data-sharing network.

Leveraging the BSC network will bring several advantages to ODIN’s functionalities. Today, Ethereum’s network faces a major influx that has led to an increase in gas fees. As a result, developers opt to utilize BSC’s technology whereby users can enjoy cheaper transaction processes that can cost as low as 1 cent.

Furthermore, BSC offers a high-performance transaction operation with the ability to generate a block within three seconds. 

Another added advantage is that the independent BSC blockchain enables users to run and grow their decentralized applications along with the respective smart contracts. In general, ODIN hopes to encounter these advantages as it now resides on BSC’s sustainable and scalable technology.

How ODIN Achieves Decentralization

ODIN focuses on achieving the concept of decentralization as it employs the principle of a data oracle network. Validation is among these factors that will build ODIN’s decentralized system. 

Essentially, a validator performs the role of inquiring for external data, validating transactions, and extending their support to ODIN protocol. Validation guarantees that the information transfer procedure remains decentralized in that several validators fetch data sources with similar requests and come up with a report of the data they obtain. Therefore, no single entity can convey data from multiple sources into the system.

The other decentralization aspect is that any user can become a data provider on the ODIN network. This permissionless feature only requires the aspiring data providers to set up a transaction that establishes a new data source and sets up how one can access this source.

Lastly, the ODIN protocol accomplishes its decentralization goal by allowing any user to develop an algorithm procedure for handling the obtained data. An end-user, therefore, will have alternative options of retrieving the processed data based on certain factors such as price and the source’s reputation.

ODIN Token

ODIN protocol utilizes ODIN native token as an incentivization tool for validators to generate new blocks. The digital token has the following use-cases:

•  It acts as a mechanism for governance activities
• A payment instrument used by buyers to pay for data retrieved from ODIN’s ecosystem
• Holders can apply to become validators through the native token
• Holders who do not wish to become validators can delegate their tokens to validators and earn a segment of that validator’s accumulated fees.

Out of the 100 million ODIN tokens in the market, the founding team is allocated 10%, staking and validator’s rewards receive 30%, 10% goes to the data consumers pool, and the remaining 50% is distributed to ODIN’s treasury.

A Delegated Proof of Stake Algorithm is employed on the ODIN protocol whereby a select number makes critical updating decisions of validators. The token holders are solely responsible for electing validators through a voting procedure.

About GeoDB

GeoDB is a next-gen ecosystem that aims at building a peer-to-peer data-sharing network. Through integrated applications, GeoDB anticipates more than 12 million users to join its data exchange system. 

The platform has made impressive strides after collaborating with prominent technological partners such as Ocean Protocol, Chainlink, Rate & Grade, About Goods, Flame Analytics, and many more.

In February 2021, GeoDB announced the integration of Binance Chain as a second layer that will improve the reward system of any application on GeoDB’s ecosystem.

The integration also means that it will market GeoDB’s native token(GEO). Initially, GeoDB utilized Ethereum’s mainnet to reward its users. Since Ethereum and Binance are two different blockchains, users can transfer their tokens from GeoDB on Ethereum to Binance Chain through a smart contract named bridge. Deploying GeoDB on the Binance Chain will elevate the ecosystem’s transaction functionalities the same way as ODIN’s BSC integration.

About QOZ

Ralcon LLC is located in Tucson, AZ. Not only are they located in a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ), they also operate in it. According to the IRS website, a QOZ is an “economically distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualify as QOZs if they have been nominated for that designation by a state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory and that nomination has been certified by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury via his delegation of authority to the Internal Revenue Service” (IRS). 

QOZs act as an economic development tool. “They are designed to spur economic development and job creation in distressed communities.” They achieve this result by providing tax incentives for investors to invest in businesses operating in one or more QOZs. An investor can defer taxes on any gain that is invested. That deferral lasts until Dec. 2026. If the QOZ is held for at least five years, there will be a 10% exclusion of the deferred gain. After seven years, that percentage goes up to 15%. If investors hold the investment for at least 10 years, they are eligible for an adjustment on the basis of the QOZ investment to its fair market value on the date that it is sold or exchanged. 

For more information regarding QOZs, visit Opportunity Zones Frequently Asked Questions | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov).
