You can make your own at .š Blockchain unique, fully owned by you, tradable username tenzorum.org/tenz_id Whaaaaat? ā Wow Wow Wow. Calm down with the words Moritz, are you telling me that I can have my own Digital Identity that uses Blockchain Technology today??? Cool. What does this š© evenĀ mean? Relax. Hold my hand through your keyboard. I will not only show you why this is pretty amazing, but I will teach you how to get one and become a part of the decentralized world for a few cents in less than 10 minutes. Yes. Few cents. Less than 10 minutes. Infinite possibilities. We will do it together. I will show you the way. What is TENZ-ID and why does itĀ matter? TENZ-ID is a system created by . We are helping anyone to register a username on the Blockchain in a few clicks (2 to be exact) and the intrinsic complexities behind them. Tenzorum Project, which is developing user-friendly tools to empower people with decentralized technologies to liberate the web without having to know ANYTHING about smart contracts Few clicks. Instant Value. Many benefits. ā Why do I need a username on the Blockchain and what can I do with it? Drake knows. Ok, this is how the Blockchain currently sees you, we call it the : Public Address 0xab5801a7d398351b8be11c439e05c5b3259aec9b Letās agree on something⦠I am really happy for you if you have insane memory skills, or if you enjoy typing that kind of hash, but in terms of user experience⦠This is really really bad. In every decentralized application (fully powered by Blockchain), you are somehow a hash/ a public address. To execute transactions, send money to your friends, register into applications, and to do anything on the Blockchain, you have to have a public address that belongs to you. On the Blockchain: YOU ARE THAT PUBLIC ADDRESS. But they are ugly. And frightening. And not user-friendly. And inconvenient. And ugly. TENZ-ID solves that problem.š What we created is a decentralized solution that allows you to attach a unique username to your public address. ā Ok ok ok⦠I get it⦠Usernames and stuff, but what are the core benefits and value of creating a TENZ-ID? Elon brings you a Tesla at Christmas. Thatās it.š Nah, Iām kidding, sorry. Although I will be happy if you get one, the fundamental benefits are: šØāšØAccessibility. Thatās the obvious one. If we want Blockchain to go mainstream, and onboard the next 1 billion people to the decentralized world, itās naive to believe that people will even have to interact with Public Addresses in their primitive form. If you ever bought into an ICO, have some crypto or are a legendary cypherpunk, YOU NEED to have a personal address as a username sooner rather than later. This is how everything will work soon enough! šFreedom. TENZ-ID is by design; unstoppable and uncensorable. When you register on cousin Zuckās platform(aka Facebook) or uncle Page email system (Gmail), you are asking them for permission to use their services. In return, you are giving them your data. You can be censored, banned, stopped, obliterated(not this one). Because itās platform. And thatās how the centralized internet works. THEIR Thatās not how TENZ-ID works because this is not our platform, . Itās an on chain solution that uses Ethereum Blockchain addresses to register your username. You donāt ask permission to exist or operate, you just do. it belongs to the world šøAnd you are hearingĀ first. @ @ @ @ @ @ How cool it would have been to have the pure usernames on twitter, or your email, or anything that you use frequently? Vitalik Moritz Naval Daniel Pet3rpan Alex What if you actually registered all of those names and later on, Well, that is also possible with TENZ-ID⦠actually SELL THEM on digital auctions? Well well smart boys and girls, now you know⦠Hopefully, you will not be the one that missed out. So now Iām going to teach you how to register your username in a few clicks.
