#### BYTZ, digital currency for media content

BYTZ is an open-source decentralized peer-to-peer currency featuring a Delegated Proof of Stake algorithm
designed to empower content creators through transparent media analytics and blockchain tokenization.

* The BYTZ network features three layers.

  + The first is the core code that makes BYTZ a decentralized currency. It is composed of all users and powered by the permissionless staking network.
  + The second is the Guardian Validator Node network which consists of enterprise companies partnering with BYTZ to operate validator nodes to help secure,
    guide, and grow the network.
  + The third is the Token layer, designed for creators and users alike to help deliver a powerful and new way of sharing and collecting content.
* BYTZ will allow creators to tokenize their media, regulate access to it, and track every view. User engagement data is the basis for effective advertising.

  + Transparent Media Analytics means that advertisers can track their ad spend and returns with precision and allocate their advertising budget
    to the greatest advantage.
  + It also means that creators who attract attention can get paid proportionally for the value they contribute.
  + TMAP transforms the model from content ownership and consumption to one of true incentivized partnership
    in which content creation, distribution, and engagement all earn proportionate rewards.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install BYTZ

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/bytz/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install BYTZ

To install BYTZ, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install bytz
```
