Abstract: The present disclosure provides sports training devices for improving a user's technique. In some embodiments, the sports training device comprises a golf putting apparatus including a mat comprising a proximal end, a distal end, a top side and a bottom side; a plurality of distinct resting areas on the top side and near the distal end; a raised ridge on the top side between each of the distinct resting areas; and at least one origin spot on the top side and near the proximal end for placing a ball, such as a golf ball. In one embodiment, a method of improving a user's technique comprises striking a ball from one of the at least one origin spots towards a distinct resting area, such as a preselected resting area.

Abstract: A system and method for cryptographically securing a device includes initializing a cryptographic processing circuit which includes provisioning a cryptographic key store associated with the cryptographic processing circuit with cryptographic key material; and establishing a first cryptographically secured connection between a main central processing unit of the autonomous device and the cryptographic processing circuit of the device; and implementing a cryptographic validation of resident firmware of the main central processing unit by validating a cryptographic digital signature ascribed to the resident firmware against an up-to-date cryptographic digital signature used for installing and/or updating the resident firmware of the main central processing circuit.

Abstract: A system and method implementing secure radio communications in a decentralized network includes: a handshake with one other of the plurality of nodes; establishing a point-in-time reference parameter during the handshake, wherein the point-in-time reference parameter is identified at the end of the handshake with the one other node; identifying a window in randomly sequence of rotating windows based on the point-in-time reference parameter, wherein the identified window contains a channel for conducting an encrypted communication with the one other node; and establishing the communication channel with the one other node.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating microtransaction involving an autonomous transacting device includes generating a plurality of key pairs and sharing a key of each of the plurality of key pairs with the transacting entity; establishing an escrow at the blockchain and providing the plurality of key pairs to the blockchain; exchanging one or more of the key pairs using a sidechain; requesting a release or a refund of funds from the escrow; and presenting one or more exchange key pairs to the blockchain thereby establishing a percent completion of the sidechain.

Abstract: A system and method for verifying a cryptographic transaction includes requesting a portion of the blockchain comprising a merkle tree path; verifying a value of the cryptocurrency key using simplified payment verification; and bundling the cryptographic transaction, a block header of the cryptographic transaction, a plurality of block headers subsequent the block header of the cryptographic transaction, and the merkle tree path thereby forming a cryptographic currency receipt.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating a transaction involving an autonomous device includes: receiving a transaction request from the initiating party; generating an addendum based on the transaction request; validating the one or more requests in the addendum by referencing the one or more claims in the exhibit; digitally signing the addendum by the autonomous transacting device with a cryptographic key and by the initiating transacting device with a cryptocurrency key; verifying a value of the cryptocurrency key; and performing the one or more requests of the transaction request based on the digitally signed addendum and once the value of the cryptocurrency key is verified.

Abstract: A method for tax attenuation in accordance with the present invention matches an income stream from an investment to a cost of debt to hold the cost of the tax in abeyance. An amount is invested to gain returns. An amount is borrowed at a cost to pay the tax liability. An investment portfolio is established in order to create a positive spread between the returns on the invested amount and the cost of the borrowed amount such that the periodic returns on the invested amount is sufficient to pay at least the periodic interest payments due on the borrowed amount. In addition, the investment portfolio is established with investments sufficient to cover the margin of the borrowed amount. In addition, the returns of the investment are used to pay interest on the borrowed amount. Finally, the returns of the investment are used to pay off, in full, the amounts borrowed.
