NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 03, 2016) - SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) -- According to a research report conducted by the research organization The Nilson Report, for 2015 through 2020, card fraud worldwide is expected to total $183.29 billion. In 2020, global card fraud is projected to exceed $35.54 billion. Fraud, grew by 19%, and outpaced volume, which grew by 15%. Fraud losses by banks and merchants on all cards issued worldwide reached $16.31 billion in 2014 when global card volume for the same period totaled $28.844 trillion.

This was probably driven by an uptick in mobile payments, given the major increase in contactless transaction revenue. And the vending machines may have attracted many first-time users who were drawn in by the digital advertising of Apple Pay. Boosting awareness is key to unlocking pent-up demand amon...

Alex Todd rather kindly called this a “most lucid explanation of digital identity management” I would highly recommend this presentation to anyone interested in understanding prospective blockchain based identity architectures From David | LinkedIn This is very kind, but as I said in the link, this is thinking out loud and far from a fully-developed solution. We’re working on parts of this for different clients and I can see that there is something there - a genuinely new way of solving some old problems - but it’s early days.

Crystal clear: Creating hyper-transparent property markets - JLL Real Views

xxx The issue of transparency is going to play a major role in the allocation of an avalanche of global commercial investment into real estate over the next decade. With total sums at stake predicted to rise from US$700 billion to over $1 trillion a year by the mid 2020s, according to JLL, countries and cities which meet investor demands on transparency will be best placed to attract these capital flows.
