Cryptocurrency: EU Proposal Seen As De-facto Ban on Bitcoin Fails in Vote. All You Need to Know6/21/2022 The European Parliament’s economic and monetary affairs committee voted 30-23 to remove the provision from a draft of the EU’s proposed Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework, which governs digital assets The European Union (EU) has vetoed a planned law that would have effectively banned the popular cryptocurrency bitcoin across the EU. It opted to drop a planned rule in the framework that would have made it illegal for persons in the EU to generate cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin using an energy-intensive procedure. However, the European Parliament’s economic and monetary affairs committee on March 14 voted 30-23 to remove the provision from a draft of the EU’s proposed Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework, which governs digital assets. Six members of the committee voted no. The divisive plan aimed to reduce pollution caused by the most inefficient cryptocurrency. Even if the idea failed, officials are sure to scrutinise cryptocurrencies as the EU attempts to address the twin issues of climate and energy. As China banned cryptocurrencies last year, getting rid of their pollution has become a global game of whack-a-mole.

Sabio Console integrates customer contact channels such as voice, webchat, SMS and WhatsApp into conversational AI platforms like Google CCAI, ES and CX. Sabio Console provides tools to design, build, deploy and scale complex and automated customer interactions across multiple channels. “Sabio Console is an exciting new offering that brings together Sabio’s experience in building AI-powered CX solutions into a single platform,” Tom Mullen, Sabio CPO, said in the release. “The platform has been designed for organizations handling millions of customer queries and who have a large operating cost in their contact center or customer service function. Those businesses will be aiming to scale more efficiently, while maintaining outstanding levels of customer service.” Through Sabio Console, organizations can design, build, deploy and scale complex, automated customer interactions across multiple channels from within a single platform, according to the release. “Console allows users to easily map channels to the relevant ‘bot’ and handles the complexity of media transport and session management, allowing customers to build rich, omni-channel experiences,” Stuart Dorman, Sabio CIO, said in the release. “The platform provides a comfortable authoring experience, simplifying the build out of virtual agent interfaces for chat, with easily embedded rich media, as well as SSML for voice. The multilingual capabilities, including automatic language detection, allows Console to be deployed across more than 70 languages. Meanwhile, the platform’s Analytics capability provides a set of pre-configured dashboards that provide the user with more visibility than ever before.” Via https://duchonsigns.wordpress.com/2022/06/16/sabio-group-releases-ai-powered-customer-experience-platform/ Provided April 8, 2022 LG Business Solutions USA has installed a video “Wave Wall” with multiple curved OLED displays to form a high-definition surface at the AVI-SPL office in Dallas, according to a company press release. The video wall features a 65-inch LG interactive digital signage board that provides wayfinding information. The ground floor meeting room features LG’s 136-inch All-In-One DVLED display. The Dallas office supports AVI-SPL’s mission as “a digital enablement solutions provider that transforms how people and technology connect to elevate experiences, create new value, and enable organizations to thrive and grow,” according to the press release. “We contract for a good deal of high-end signage and content, and there’s no better proof of our skill and ability to think outside the box than filling our own corporate lobby with show-stopping technology,” AVI-SPL Engineering Manager Erich Schriefer said in the release. “We recognized that these spaces could be product and expertise showcases for every partner, client or guest that visits the building, and worked with a variety of our suppliers to outfit different areas with various technologies.” The Wave Wall comprises nine 55-inch curved OLED panels in a configuration, with each panel mounted vertically to form a 12-foot-tall, portrait-oriented 4K display. “We were thrilled to partner with AVI-SPL and LG on this project, and our expertise in designing mounts was exactly what they needed,” Kevin Barlow, director of business development at Draper, said in the release. “It was an unusual project, requiring semi-permanent installation with the ability to move the entire display at a moment’s notice. The lightweight OLED panels allowed us to use a manual design, without motorization, which simplified the build. The end result is the appearance of a permanently-installed curved video wall that’s easily movable.” The Dallas location also features various LG 55-inch, 65-inch and 75-inch 4K LED displays throughout other areas. “It was super interesting and exciting to actually bend the OLED displays on site, under the guidance of on-site LG professionals,” Schriefer said in the release. “There’s a curve table that the display attaches to, then a ratchet you turn, and it bends the display to the precise curve you need. Assistance from Draper and LG was critical to the success of this part of the project.” Display TechnologyContentContent ManagementDigital BillboardsDOOH AdvertisingVideo Walls Via https://duchonsigns.wordpress.com/2022/06/16/lg-business-solutions-debuts-led-wave-wall-at-dallas-office/ Light technology leader SloanLED announces the global launch of Prism12, an improved version of the acclaimed premium 12V LED channel letter lighting solution, SloanLED Prism. Unveiled at ISA International Sign Expo earlier this year, Prism12 delivers significant upgrades to the optics, installation time, and overall performance. Prism12 exceeds expectations in channel letter and sign box applications 3 to 8 inches (75 to 200 mm) deep with a new patented asymmetrical gradient micro-prism (ASGM) lens design for the widest, most even spread of light and up to 25 percent wider stroke spacing. Top-tier LEDs deliver incredible efficacy up to 135 lm/W and increased loading capacity up 20 percent over the previous generation. Prism12 also features double-sided perforated tape with SloanLED’s CRL one-piece release liner, which reduces installation time by up to 30 percent. Prism12 includes an advanced Constant Current circuit design that eliminates light loss over longer runs, MacAdam Ellipse 3-Step white binning for superior color consistency, and SloanLED’s industry-leading 10-year parts and labor assistance warranty. “SloanLED is a pioneer in the industry with sixty-five years of experience designing and building high-reliability lighting solutions. By comparison, many of our competitors have only recently sprung up as ‘experts in LED technology’ entering the LED signage product market in the last decade or so,” explained Barry Blythe, director of Sign Product Solutions at SloanLED. “It’s that wealth of experience that enables SloanLED not only to produce safe, reliable, high-performance products, but to continuously improve upon the technology, resulting in solutions like Prism12 that are clearly on the spectrum of brilliance.” Prism12 will see a staggered release with White (6500 K and 3000 K) and Orange available at launch; Red, Green, and Blue arriving in September 2022; and remaining White color temperatures (7100 K, 5000 K, and 4000 K) coming in December 2022. —Press Release The post Major Upgrade to 12V LED Channel Letter Lighting Solution appeared first on Sign Builder Illustrated, The How-To Sign Industry Magazine.

Over that time, the company introduced a series of hardware and software products, transforming the expectations of what a dedicated media player can do and providing a network management platform built for scale. Over its 15-year history, MediaVue’s exclusive focus on the digital signage industry has yielded several key innovations including: • Designing and bringing to market a purpose-built computer for the digital signage industry. Ultimately being coined “digital media players,” these kinds of devices allowed for the explosive growth of the digital signage industry. EXECUTIVES WEIGH IN ON THE COMPANY’S PAST, PRESENT – AND FUTURE “Digital signage networks have become remarkably sophisticated,” added President Erik DeGiorgi. “Every week we read about more interactive applications that help companies identify and connect with a particular audience.” “It has become imperative,” continued Erik DeGiorgi, “that companies think about their signage and communications networks as a platform. There are use cases where simply putting a video on a screen will suffice, but in the enterprise space a dynamic platform enables a more direct and personal interaction with the desired audience.” “The days of casting a wide net are behind us,” Erik DeGiorgi concluded. “Today, the technology and the data allow us to better know our audience and capture their attention. Our focus at MediaVue is to help customers understand the full extent of what’s possible today and put them into a technology platform that can help grow their business.” ABOUT MEDIAVUE Jim Panagas Via https://duchonsigns.wordpress.com/2022/06/16/mediavue-celebrates-15-years-in-digital-signage-industry/ You might think NFTs are “just JPEGs,” but to many in the crypto space, the digital assets are much more than that. Some are seen as rare collectibles worth millions of dollars, but they’re also deeply personal sources of meaning for collectors. To Rahim Mahtab, owner of Bored Ape Yacht Club No. 3573, ownership is a lot more than a financial interest: “My Ape has almost become my identity in this space,” he told Fortune. He bought the NFT last year for around $1,700, but since then, BAYC prices have taken off. In the past 24 hours alone, BAYC is the top-ranking NFT collection with $48.61 million in volume, according to data tracker DappRadar. Many of the top all-time BAYC sales were for over $1 million. Though Mahtab could likely sell his Ape for a significant amount—his BAYC NFT already has a bid for $19,265 now on OpenSea—it’d be tough for him to let it go, he noted. “Never say never,” Mahtab said, but “I do not see myself selling it. I have a strong attachment to it. It was the NFT that changed my life altogether.” Never miss a story about NFTs FOLLOW FOLLOW THE AUTHOR: TAYLOR LOCKE MORE TOPICS: CRYPTOCURRENCY CAREERS SUPPLY CHAINS He’s not alone. This perspective is super common in the crypto community, since NFTs carry a form of social capital. My NFT is my ‘identity’Scrolling on Twitter, you will likely see thousands of accounts with hexagonal profile pictures of cartoons and other NFT images. For many, certain NFTs become synonymous with an identity or brand. That’s why the owner of CryptoPunk No. 6046, known as Richerd, declined a $9.5 million bid for his NFT. “My identity, along with identity of other iconic Punks and Apes, have value beyond the NFT itself. We have our own brands similar to any other brand, and that has value,” Richerd tweeted in October. “Because I value my personal brand and identity, this was an easy rejection for me.” He added, “To me, my brand, identity, and what I’m building in the NFT space will be way more valuable in the long run.” In some cases, as with CryptoPunks or Bored Apes, ownership can lead to more career opportunities or respect online than in the physical world. It can be viewed as a sort of “flex,” as Gmoney, a notable NFT collector and figure within the space, calls it. That’s why he spent six figures on his CryptoPunk NFT No. 8219, he tweeted in January 2021. “With a NFT, by posting it as my avatar on Twitter and Discord, I can quickly ‘flex’ with a picture.” “Ownership and authenticity can be quickly verified online,” Gmoney said. “It has the same effect as wearing that Rolex in real life, but digitally.” Mahtab could relate: When buying his BAYC NFT, “I was struggling to plan my future and did not know how I would meet rent, [and] this NFT paved the way for me for so many opportunities in the digital and real world,” he said. ‘It truly feels like being in a very cool club’Nathan Head, owner of BAYC No. 7865, calls his NFT “the best investment I have ever made in my life.” “I honestly don’t know if I would ever sell my Ape, even though it’s worth more money than I have ever had in fiat,” he told Fortune. “It truly feels like being in a very cool club that comes with a lot of very valuable freebies and opportunities.” In other cases, NFT holders see a sentimental value to their digital assets. Mandy Musselwhite and her girlfriend, Thorne Melcher, each own Astro Girls NFTs, which they “will never sell,” she told Fortune. They spent about $239 and $213, respectively, just five days ago. “There’s definitely an aspect of identity for me,” Musselwhite said. “Even if I didn’t have the meaningful experience with Thorne when we bought ours together, I’d still 100% want to keep her.” Via https://duchonsigns.wordpress.com/2022/06/15/my-ape-has-become-my-identity-in-this-space-the-emotional-reason-some-nft-collectors-are-turning-down-riches-2/ Jan. 14, 2022 Finding the right software could be one of the most important decisions companies make as they prepare to roll out a digital signage platform. However, there are many factors to consider when choosing the ideal software. Initially, companies must decide how they want to use digital signage. What is their end-goal for deployment? That will help users select the best product and vendor to fit their needs. The best digital signage software should be able to juggle a lot of different functions, such as touch screens, internet of things, beacons, speech, and Web triggers, among others. If the software can handle all of these elements, chances are it will have no problem handling a demanding workload. The software must not only deliver clear, concise content, but have the ability to deliver it in real time. It’s also important to choose a software package with analytics features. That way, users can measure the effectiveness of their digital signage deployment.

Cryptocurrency Update: The global cryptocurrency market on Thursday, March 17, rose slightly as major crypto coins gained their value. The cryptocurrency market cap today was standing at $1.82 trillion, according to data from global crypto tracking website CoinMarketCap. This was up by 1.61 per cent over the last 24 hours. The The global crypto volume also rose over the past day. The total volume of traded coins amounted to $94.32 billion over the course of the last day. This has jumped by 1.06 per cent over the last 24 hours. “The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2018, from 0.25 percent to 0.5 percent to combat the surging inflation rate. In most cases, the rise of interest rates tends to signal uncertainty for the crypto market as investors have greater access to yield from low-risk avenues of the market,” said the CoinDCX Research Team on the crypto market movement. “Yet, in contrast, the past 24 hours have witnessed the crypto market responding atypically, trending further upwards to continue its bullish trend in the greens,” it said.

Bitcoin price today stood at $40,894.44 as per data. This was up by 0.82 per cent in the last 24 hours. Ethereum or Ether, the second most popular cryptocurrency in the global market, also rose by 4.25 per cent in the last 24 hours to stand at $2,797.39, according to data by CoinMarketCap. “The bitcoin prices remained fairly neutral and unfazed at $40K as the US Federal Reserve hiked the Interest rate by 25 basis points. The crypto markets were expected to react strongly to the Fed Reserve decision. Recently, the aid received by Ukraine through cryptocurrency had topped $100 million and, today, with the Ukrainian President legalizing cryptos in the country, this number could grow considerably,” said the WaziX Trade Desk. The next resistance for BTC is expected at $44,500 level “Alongwith Bitcoin, Ethereum too was largely unaffected due to the recent interest rate hike by the Feds.
