Abstract: A decentralized price discovery platform, with bi-directional quotes, is a market for market makers to place quotes attesting to the value of a condition occurring outside of a blockchain, and insuring the value of the condition against movement with a backing value of blockchain tokens. An aggregate consensus value is computed based on the aggregate of all active bi-directional quotes to yield an oracle value that can be used by other participants in the blockchain network for decentralized applications relying on the value of the condition occurring outside the blockchain. The aggregate consensus value is further used to adjust estimated premiums on active bi-directional quotes to fair values such that the aggregate consensus value should converge to the true value of the condition occurring outside the blockchain. Traders fill di-directional quotes to yield consensus trades, providing insurance against price movement, and causing the aggregate consensus value to converge on a true value.

Abstract: A lockable storage box and mounting system for attachment to an object has an adjustable clamp bar having a flat surface and preferably an angle of diagonal orientation, apparatus for adjustably securing the clamp bar to the box forming a space between a first and a second flat, parallel, surface for engagement around the object.
