In mid-June, numerous specialists and interested parties from agencies, institutes and companies got together in Munich in order to discuss the latest developments in digitization.
We were very much excited to be there as well: our CEO and founder Dr. Benedikt Köhler introduced the new world of data science. In a live example, he demonstrated how one can use Foursquare to avoid being marked as a tourist when visiting an unknown new city. Continue reading “DataLion at the Digital Challenge 2018”

.
Experts argue that the currency is just one of many applications that can be built on the Blockchain algorithm and database powering Bitcoin. This way of linking nodes can be used to weave authentication layers in all sorts of networked applications e.g. the Internet of Things.
This combination of open and transparent data available through various interfaces or APIs in combination with a networked data structure should be a jackpot for data visualizers and information designers. So we took a look around to find the most impressive ways of visualizing the Bitcoin transaction flows. Some of the following blockchain visualizations even come with recipes.
