A blockchain/ 30 april 2019.

A blockchain,[1][2][3] originally block chain,[4][5] is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography.[1][6]
Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block,[6] a timestamp, and transaction data (generally represented as a Merkle tree).
By design, a blockchain is resistant to modification of the data.
It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way".[7]
For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for inter-node communication and validating new blocks.
Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires consensus of the network majority.
Although blockchain records are not unalterable, blockchains may be considered secure by design and exemplify a distributed computing system with high Byzantine fault tolerance.
Decentralized consensus has therefore been claimed with a blockchain.[8]
Blockchain was invented by a person using the name Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 to serve as the public transaction ledger of the cryptocurrency bitcoin.[1]
The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is unknown.
The invention of the blockchain for bitcoin made it the first digital currency to solve the double-spending problem without the need of a trusted authority or central server.
The bitcoin design has inspired other applications,[1][3] and blockchains which are readable by the public are widely used by cryptocurrencies.
Blockchain is considered a type of payment rail.[9] Private blockchains have been proposed for business use.
Sources such as Computerworld called the marketing of such blockchains without a proper security model "snake oil".[10]

Blockchain opened the true strength of society.
The innovative technology has united hundreds of thousands of like-minded people. Each of them has a different purpose. In the depths of all, there is one similarity - the desire to create something new and useful to everyone. But without a reliable platform for communication, this cannot be done. Therefore, the Crypto Harbor project created something like a mix of LinkedIn and Facebook. Only here all are equal and without censorship. Blockchain oversees these basics.




The Crypto Harbor project appeared in early 2018. Its prime goal is to develop a place where like-minded people could gather, and work on a project. To achieve this, around its platform Crypto Harbor creates an entire ecosystem that should serve the benefit of users. With it, people could create entire economic zones, within which the most diverse products will be created, and the most daring ideas will be realized.

Of course, economic zones of a new type will not use fiat currencies. After all, they are expensive and prone to centralization. Not to mention the duration of transfers and the need for a payment infrastructure. So, Crypto Harbor created its own cryptocurrency – CHE. The token is based on the improved protocol Ethereum blockchain ERC 223.

CHE will become the circulatory system of the new organism Crypto Harbor. With its help, the members of the community will be capable to settle with each other, buy things and develop their projects.
Whole World Within

All projects start small. Even Google was built in the garage, where the foundation of the future technological giant was laid. Crypto Harbor also begins with the smallest and most important - the society.

Now the crypto project forms the backbone of the community with the help of social networks. Everyone can find like-minded people in Discord, Telegram Line and Kakao Talk.

The most important that Crypto Harbor does not establish a community on the principles of rigid hierarchy and censorship, which can be found in most modern social networks. In fact, the community will be self-regulating. And the intervention of representatives of the administration is reduced to a minimum.

The project system is aimed not only at communication but also at joint development. Users can earn some money by supporting other members of the community or project. Moreover, users will be able to vote for key decisions that affect the entire ecosystem using CHE.




The cryptocurrency exchange is the second stage of Crypto Harbor development. Its beta version will be available in October. Members of the community will be able to decide for themselves which cryptocurrencies to add to the listing of a new trading floor. And they will do this by voting. Initially, the service will support Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and Bitcoin Cash.

CHE will also play a critical role in the life of the exchange. With its help, traders will pay commissions, and a 50% discount will apply. Due to this, the trading fee will be only 0.05%. The goal of Crypto Harbor is ambitious - after launching it will enter the list of top-40 global exchanges. According to the project, it is quite possible, because the exchange will be backed by the massive community with the headquarters in Malta.

Next, Crypto Harbor plans to create a research and development lab and a school where they will train in the blockchain. This stage should give the community a push in developing its own projects and creating a full-fledged economic zone.
Future Already Here

Crypto Harbor is actively working on the implementation of plans and the development of the community. The exchange has already been completed at more than 70% and is waiting for the launch. Simultaneously, the project participates in various activities, so that as many people as possible could learn about it. So, Crypto Harbor sponsored the motorcycle team "Moto bum". It also holds various meetups in Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore.

The project also signed a cooperation agreement with the Singapore company Texcent on the development of a mobile wallet for CHE. And these are just a few examples of the activities of Crypto Harbor. There are many more.

To implement all of their plans, Crypto Harbor plans by the end of 2020. Then the absolutely new ecosystem with a unique community and ambitions should appear.

Protecting the Emperor

On 29 August 1945, MacArthur was ordered to exercise authority through the Japanese government machinery, including the Emperor Hirohito.[255] MacArthur's headquarters was located in the Dai Ichi Life Insurance Building in Tokyo.
Unlike in Germany, where the Allies had in May 1945 abolished the German state, the Americans chose to allow the Japanese state to continue to exist, albeit under their ultimate control.
[256] Unlike Germany, there was a certain partnership between the occupiers and occupied as MacArthur decided to rule Japan via the Emperor and most of the rest of the Japanese elite.[257]
The Emperor was a living god to the Japanese people, and MacArthur found that ruling via the Emperor made his job in running Japan much easier than it otherwise would have been.[258]

MacArthur took the view that a few "militarist" extremists had "hijacked" Japan starting in 1931 with the Mukden Incident, the Emperor was a pro-Western "moderate" who had been powerless to stop the militarists, and thus bore no responsibility for any of the war crimes committed by the Japanese between 1931 and 1945.
[258]
The American historian Herbert P. Bix described the relationship between the general and the Emperor as: "the Allied commander would use the Emperor, and the Emperor would cooperate in being used.
Their relationship became one of expediency and mutual protection, of more political benefit to Hirohito than to MacArthur because Hirohito had more to lose–the entire panoply of symbolic, legitimizing properties of the imperial throne".[259]

At the same time, MacArthur undermined the imperial mystique when his staff released the famous picture of his first meeting with the Emperor, the impact of which on the Japanese public was electric as the Japanese people for the first time saw the Emperor as a mere man overshadowed by the much taller MacArthur instead of the living god he had always been portrayed as.
Up to 1945, the Emperor had been a remote, mysterious figure to his people, rarely seen in public and always silent, whose photographs were always taken from a certain angle to make him look taller and more impressive than he really was.
No Japanese photographer would have taken such a photo of the Emperor being overshadowed by MacArthur.
The Japanese government immediately banned the photo of the Emperor with MacArthur on the grounds that it damaged the imperial mystique, but MacArthur rescinded the ban and ordered all of the Japanese newspapers to print it.
The photo was intended as a message to the Emperor about who was going to be the senior partner in their relationship.[260]


As he needed the Emperor, MacArthur protected him from any effort to hold accountable for his actions, and allowed him to issue statements that incorrectly portrayed the emerging democratic post-war era as a continuation of the Meiji era reforms.[261]
MacArthur did not allow any investigations of the Emperor, and instead in October 1945 ordered his staff "in the interests of peaceful occupation and rehabilitation of Japan, prevention of revolution and communism, all facts surrounding the execution of the declaration of war and subsequent position of the Emperor which tend to show fraud, menace or duress be marshalled".[262]

In January 1946, MacArthur reported to Washington that the Emperor could not be indicted for war crimes on the grounds:

His indictment will unquestionably cause a tremendous convulsion among the Japanese people, the repercussions of which cannot be overestimated. He is a symbol which unites all Japanese.
Destroy him and the nation will disintegrate...
It is quite possible that a million troops would be required which would have to be maintained for an indefinite number of years.[263]

To protect the Emperor from being indicted, MacArthur had one of his staff, Brigadier General Bonner Fellers tell the genrō Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai on 6 March 1946:

To counter this situation, it would be most convenient if the Japanese side could prove to us that the Emperor is completely blameless.
I think the forthcoming trials offer the best opportunity to do that.
Tojo, in particular should be made to bear all responsibility at his trial.
I want you to have Tojo say as follows: "At the imperial conference prior to the start of the war, I already decided to push for war even if his majesty the emperor was against going to war with the United States."[264]

From the viewpoint of both sides, having one especially evil figure in the form of General Hideki Tojo, on whom everything that went wrong could be blamed, was most politically convenient.[264] At a second meeting on 22 March 1946, Fellers told Yonai:

The most influential advocate of un-American thought in the United States is Cohen (a Jew and a Communist), the top adviser to Secretary of State Byrnes. As I told Yonai... it is extremely disadvantageous to MacArthur's standing in the United States to put on trial the very Emperor who is cooperating with him and facilitating the smooth administration of the occupation. This is the reason for my request... "I wonder whether what I said to Admiral Yonai the other day has already been conveyed to Tojo?".[265][266]

Douglas MacArthur (January 26, 1880 – April 5, 1964) was an American five-star general and Field Marshal of the Philippine Army. He was Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s and played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II. He received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Philippines Campaign, which made him and his father Arthur MacArthur Jr. the first father and son to be awarded the medal. He was one of only five to rise to the rank of General of the Army in the US Army, and the only one conferred the rank of field marshal in the Philippine Army.

Raised in a military family in the American Old West, MacArthur was valedictorian at the West Texas Military Academy, and First Captain at the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated top of the class of 1903. During the 1914 United States occupation of Veracruz, he conducted a reconnaissance mission, for which he was nominated for the Medal of Honor. In 1917, he was promoted from major to colonel and became chief of staff of the 42nd (Rainbow) Division. In the fighting on the Western Front during World War I, he rose to the rank of brigadier general, was again nominated for a Medal of Honor, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross twice and the Silver Star seven times.

From 1919 to 1922, MacArthur served as Superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he attempted a series of reforms. His next assignment was in the Philippines, where in 1924 he was instrumental in quelling the Philippine Scout Mutiny. In 1925, he became the Army's youngest major general. He served on the court-martial of Brigadier General Billy Mitchell and was president of the American Olympic Committee during the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. In 1930, he became Chief of Staff of the United States Army. As such, he was involved in the expulsion of the Bonus Army protesters from Washington, D.C. in 1932, and the establishment and organization of the Civilian Conservation Corps. He retired from the US Army in 1937 to become Military Advisor to the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines.

MacArthur was recalled to active duty in 1941 as commander of United States Army Forces in the Far East. A series of disasters followed, starting with the destruction of his air forces on 8 December 1941 and the Japanese invasion of the Philippines. MacArthur's forces were soon compelled to withdraw to Bataan, where they held out until May 1942. In March 1942, MacArthur, his family and his staff left nearby Corregidor Island in PT boats and escaped to Australia, where MacArthur became Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area. Upon his arrival, MacArthur gave a speech in which he famously promised "I shall return" to the Philippines. After more than two years of fighting in the Pacific, he fulfilled that promise. For his defense of the Philippines, MacArthur was awarded the Medal of Honor. He officially accepted the Surrender of Japan on 2 September 1945 aboard the USS Missouri, which was anchored in Tokyo Bay, and he oversaw the occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1951. As the effective ruler of Japan, he oversaw sweeping economic, political and social changes. He led the United Nations Command in the Korean War with initial success; however, the controversial invasion of North Korea provoked Chinese intervention. Following a series of major defeats, he was removed from command by President Harry S. Truman on 11 April 1951. He later became chairman of the board of Remington Rand.
