Abstract: Decentralized blockchain-associated systems and apparatuses including specialized blockchain-integrated nodes that have a decentralized bot, a smart contract, and business logic, with the decentralized performing sequences of user actions throughs calls to functions of the smart contract. Methods for the use of decentralized bots for decentralized smart contract verification and message notification.

Abstract: A system for smart contracts incorporates an Internet-connected server executing software providing a web presence with interactive interfaces, a data repository storing templates and completed contracts, a port to a blockchain service, a plurality of registered users each associated with a wallet, and a communication service for users. A registered user initiates a smart contract manually or by accessing a template from the data repository, the new contract associated with a Mithra token defining terms. With the issuing token in place, the issuer engages one or more counterparties to join the smart contract, a counterparty, by active engagement creating a counter token defining rights and obligations under the contract for the counterparty. Through the communication service the initiator and the counterparties negotiate contract terms to agreement, and the contract is signed and published to either a public store or a private store.

Abstract: A serverless telephony system (STS) establishes and maintains a voice, data and video exchange between telephony devices using Internet Protocol (IP). The STS in a preferred embodiment comprises software running on a telephony device with a standard packet network connection over a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), or a combination, which may include the Internet network. The new system enables one telephony device to establish a connection with another telephony device without intervention by any third device such as a switch or a server. In one embodiment an IP-PBX (Internet Protocol-Private Branch Exchange) application is provided having no server presented in the network for establishing a call between any two IP phones on a Local Area Network (LAN), providing substantially all services typically expected from a standard PBX, and yet functions in compliance with one or more of a H.323, a MGCP, a SIP protocol or any one of other standard protocols.

Abstract: A system for comparing preferences of persons has a first mechanism gathering preferences of persons, a second mechanism for rendering each preference as a numerical value, a third mechanism for plotting each numerical value representing a preference for a person in a separate dimension of multi-dimensional space, providing for each person a point in the multi-dimensional space, and a fourth mechanism for determining distance in multidimensional space between any two points representing different persons, and for storing the distances calculated in a data repository.
