Hi everyone,
Good news for you: there’s already at least one successfully funded open source Elixir project in the blockchain space.
We are Stampery, a startup leveraging the power of the bitcoin and ethereum blockchains to create immutable proof of existence, integrity and ownership of any kind of data set.
In fact, we have been part of the last batch of the aforementioned Boost accelerator. I am pretty sure @IamCharlesHan knows my colleges Luis, Daniele and of course Tomasso and his celebrated cooking skills.
Stampery was funded with $600K from Draper & Associates, Blockchain Capital and Di-Ann Eisnor in 2015 Q3, shortly after presenting at TechCrunch Disrupt SF.
We used Elixir to build our distributed blockchain data anchoring architecture, best known as BTA. It allows us to embed as many data as we want in a single bitcoin or ethereum TX.
We are open sourcing our whole stack these days. We started by publishing our binary merkle tree Elixir implementation, which as @uranther mentioned is crucial for any blockchain project you may want to start out:
We will continue releasing the source code for more components of our stack in the next weeks, including the bitcoin and ethereum raw transaction composer modules.
Of course I will be more than happy to contribute to this exchain initiative. I’m aesedepece at Github.
Let’s see what we can come up with!
