DataBuck
Big Data Quality must always be verified to ensure that data is safe, accurate, and complete. Data is moved through multiple IT platforms or stored in Data Lakes. The Big Data Challenge: Data often loses its trustworthiness because of (i) Undiscovered errors in incoming data (iii). Multiple data sources that get out-of-synchrony over time (iii). Structural changes to data in downstream processes not expected downstream and (iv) multiple IT platforms (Hadoop DW, Cloud). Unexpected errors can occur when data moves between systems, such as from a Data Warehouse to a Hadoop environment, NoSQL database, or the Cloud. Data can change unexpectedly due to poor processes, ad-hoc data policies, poor data storage and control, and lack of control over certain data sources (e.g., external providers). DataBuck is an autonomous, self-learning, Big Data Quality validation tool and Data Matching tool.

Chainpoint
You can anchor an infinite amount of data to the Bitcoin blockchain, ensuring both the verification of data integrity and its existence without needing to depend on a trusted intermediary. Chainpoint achieves this by linking a hash of your data to the blockchain and providing a timestamp proof. When a Chainpoint Node receives hashes, they are aggregated in a structure known as a Merkle tree, with the root of this tree published through a Bitcoin transaction. The resulting Chainpoint proof outlines specific operations that create a cryptographic connection between your data and the Bitcoin blockchain. Additionally, each Chainpoint proof includes the necessary information to confirm that a hash of the data is securely anchored to the blockchain, thereby demonstrating that the data was present at the time of anchoring. This innovative system allows for the verification of Chainpoint proofs independently, without relying on a trusted third party. By utilizing this technology, users gain confidence in the authenticity and permanence of their data.

Eloipool
Eloipool is a fast Bitcoin pool server developed using Python3, designed to support merged mining through the setworkaux/gotwork RPC interface. However, it does not offer longpolling capabilities for auxiliary chains, resulting in empty and longpoll merkle roots being generated only when necessary, while avoiding regeneration when CoinbaseAux changes occur. Consequently, shares discovered by miners using getwork after a longpoll are typically stale on the auxiliary chains, but this issue is not present for GBT or stratum miners. Eloipool was the first pool server to implement getmemorypool for its internal work generation, although PSJ and ecoinpool have since adopted similar methods and made early announcements. The server incorporates an optimized merkle tree generator that efficiently executes the minimal steps required to produce numerous merkle trees swiftly. Additionally, it maintains a fixed-size buffer filled with current merkle trees, ensuring they are ready to be dispatched promptly upon receiving getwork requests, and it also constructs a buffer of clear merkle trees, which contain no transactions aside from the subsidy, to be sent out immediately in response to longpoll requests. This design not only enhances performance but also ensures that miners experience minimal delays when submitting their shares.
