Pistol Bay Mining Inc. (TSX-V – PST; Frankfurt – OQS2) (“Pistol Bay” or the “Company’) is pleased to give an update on the development of our subsidiary, PB Blockchain Inc. (see news release dated November 15, 2017.) This wholly owned subsidiary is focused on blockchain applications for mining and resource company management. We will be leveraging the work of other Application Program Interface (API) companies to build a suite of blockchain products to address needs that are particular to the data management and security of mining/oil and gas companies. It is expected that many of these blockchain products could have crossover to other industries.
Charles Desjardins, President and CEO of PB Blockchain, is pleased to report that our development team is creating our own application named “HashDrop”. This will be accomplished by utilizing existing blockchain solutions to create a secure platform for parties to manage and update digital assets and documents within their data centers while providing trusted transactions with full confidence in the principle of the information being shared or accessed.
It is a secure, comprehensive, and unalterable platform that eliminates the time and costs of document sharing and assembly. It enables the organization to better coordinate compliances, deliver information efficiently, and trade digital assets securely. With a wide range of device types, our platform adapts to various device configurations.
Our easy to use interfaces are backed by the infrastructure behind the scenes to ensure fast, reliable uploads, downloads, and sharing. Our team who is creating HashDrop will continue to evolve the product and architecture to ensure speed data transfer and improved reliability.
