Based on the retrieving, generating a pre-purchasing confidence recommendation to the user before completion of a purchase by the user.

Abstract: A reward points transfer system and process using blockchain is disclosed. Transaction account issuers may write reward transfer messages to the blockchain to initiate a transfer of reward points for a transaction account holders account to one or more rewards partners. Rewards partners may retrieve the reward transfer messages from the blockchain, and write a reward transfer response message to the blockchain to confirm receipt of the reward points transfer and to update the status of the transfer. The transaction account issuers and rewards partners may encrypt the messages and generate hashes based on the messages prior to writing to the blockchain, to ensure that the messages are not tampered with during the transfer process.

Abstract: A management system for managing the utilization of item receptacles in a distribution network. Items can be transferred to recipients at a limited number of item receptacles in unit delivery facilities of the distribution network. Item retrieval behavior is tracked to determine a recipient score for known recipients. Based on the recipient scores, subsequent items to be transferred can be placed in a receptacle or a storage area based on the associated recipient score. Placement in receptacles can be prioritized to recipients with low scores indicating that the item will likely be retrieved quickly, while items addressed to recipients with high scores may not be placed into a receptacle if receptacles are scarce.
