Бронирование номеров с помощью блокчейна Запущена альфа-версию блокчейн-сервиса для бронирования гостиничных номеров В данный момент с помощью сервиса можно воспользоваться услугами 600 отелей, однако к концу февраля их, как утверждается, станет около 100 тысяч. «На Booking.com и Airbnb берут примерно 20% от стоимости номера за использование их платформы. Наш план состоит в том, чтобы с помощью блокчейна полностью устранить любые комиссии. Хозяева вправе получать полную сумму за свои инвестиции, а гости, разумеется, также вправе платить за номер непосредственно владельцам», — заявил СЕО LockChain.co Никола Александров. LockChain является первой компанией, которая предложила решение на основе блокчейна для индустрии гостеприимства, общая стоимость которой на сегодняшний день оценивается приблизительно в $500 млрд. В альфа-версии платформы, помимо прочего, доступны личный кошелек, мультивалютная поддержка и динамический поиск предложений. #finom_news  |

Alpha Version of Blockchain Service for Making Hotel Reservations Launched At present the service provides access to 600 hotels, but by the end of February that number should increase to approximately 100,000. "Booking.com and Airbnb take about 20% of the cost of a room for using their platform," says Nikola Aleksandrov, CEO of LockChain.co. "Our plan is to eliminate any additional fees with the aid of a blockchain. The owners will be able to receive the full sum from their investment, while their guests, naturally, will be able to pay the owners directly." LockChain is the first company to propose a blockchain-based solution for the hospitality industry, the overall cost of which is currently priced at approximately $500 billion. The platform's alpha version also provides a personal wallet, multicurrency support and a dynamic search tool for apps. #finom_news  |

Blockchain Versus Corruption The blockchain centre Distributed Lab plans to enable a ring signature algorithm to anonymize witnesses of acts of corruption. This mechanism will allow witnesses to anonymously prove their affiliation with an organization and provide evidence, revealing their identity only for a specific group of observers. As noted by the company, witnesses of illegal agreements often fail to report crimes because they are afraid of the irreversible damage doing so could have on their careers. Unfortunately, an anonymous claim cannot become part of a pool of evidence. Moreover, there's no guarantee that there isn't a single person making claims under the guise of various witnesses. "This solution is a veritable prototype of how to increase transparency in public sector and government organ administration," notes Distributed Lab's CEO. "At present, testing of this approach in a business environment seems much more realistic than implementing it in the state sector. On the other hand, the corporate sector will receive a great many advantages in resolving its current task of increasing transparency in administration and accounting." A ring signature will allow witnesses to reveal their identity only to selected individuals - law enforcement agents, journalists and auditors - while personally controlling the degree of anonymity. The company feels that such an anticorruption mechanism can be used as a superstructure over an organization's existing infrastructure, making it possible to efficiently fight against any abuse of power on site. #finom_news  |

Блокчейн против коррупции Центр блокчейн-экспертизы Distributed Lab планирует задействовать алгоритм кольцевой подписи для анонимизации свидетелей коррупционных актов. Механизм позволит свидетелям анонимно доказать свою принадлежность к организации и предоставить доказательства, раскрывая свою личность только для определенной группы наблюдателей. Как отмечают в компании, свидетели незаконных договоренностей чаще всего замалчивают тот факт, что преступление имело место, поскольку опасаются необратимых последствий для карьерного роста. К сожалению, анонимное заявление, не может быть элементом доказательной базы. Кроме того, нет никаких гарантий, что под видом различных свидетелей не скрывается одно и то же лицо. «Данное решение — фактический прототип того, как можно будет повышать прозрачность управления в публичном секторе и госорганах. Тестирование данного подхода в бизнес-среде на сегодняшний день выглядит гораздо более реалистичным, нежели имплементация этого решения сразу в госсекторе. С другой стороны, корпоративный сектор получит реальный инструмент и массу преимуществ в решении актуальной задачи повышения прозрачности управления и учета», – отмечает CEO Distributed Lab Кольцевая подпись даст возможность свидетелю раскрывать личность только для определенных лиц — правоохранителей, журналистов или аудиторов, то есть — самостоятельно контролировать степень анонимности. Этот механизм можно использовать как надстройку над существующей инфраструктурой организации, которая позволит эффективно бороться с коррупцией  |

New ETFs will exclusively invest in blockchain-based companies. Reality Shares Advisors and Amplify Trust ETF launched the first blockchain-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange today. Both funds went live on their respective exchanges at 9:30 a.m. and started with $24.20 (Reality Shares) and $20 (Amplify's Transformational Data Sharing) Reality Shares has developed an index with Nasdaq to track blockchain startups in which the ETF will invest, said analyst of Reality Shares. The index is further supported by an algorithm developed by the fund. Companies have previously filed for blockchain-based ETFs, but none had made it as far as listing prior to Reality Shares and Amplify Trust. The trading funds mentioned in blockchain companies could be risky, as there are few regulations on the technology and companies may not necessarily turn a profit. The prospectuses also noted that the funds would only invest in companies with a capitalization of more than $200 million and which had a six-month daily trading average of at least $1 million. #finom_news  |

The Difference Between Utility and Security Tokens Security Tokens With security tokens there is a reasonable expectation of profits, consisting of dividends, periodic payments and/or the increased value of the investment. Profits are to be derived from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others. The first Finom token sale was all about SECURITY tokens. All the privileges of the FIN tokens were described in the white paper. Utility tokens The utility tokens are units of services that can be purchased. These tokens can be compared to API keys, which are used to access the service. Utilities are a way to fund projects of shared infrastructure that couldn’t be funded before. To enable ecosystems to be built some tokens can be “pre-mined” in addition to being sold in “crowd-sales” during token sales. The upcoming token sale will give users the opportunity to buy UTILITY tokens. NOM tokens allow their owners to buy new services within the Finom Blockchain Ecosystem. The NOM token sale is more oriented toward users than toward investors.  |

Finom объявляет о втором размещении токенов! Во время первой кампании ее участники приобретали security-токен FIN – цифровой аналог акций Finom. Более 7000 инвесторов помогли нам достигнуть результата в 41 миллиона долларов. Изучая итоги кампании, мы увидели большой потенциал токена NOM, который инвесторы получали в виде бонуса при покупке токена FIN. Чем шире и активнее применение этого токена в проекте, тем большую ценность он приносит. В результате мы решили сделать токен NOM полноценным средством оплаты внутри платформы. Для достижения этих целей компания проведет с 1 февраля по 3 марта 2018 года дополнительную эмиссию utility-токенов NOM. Все владельцы FIN получат льготы на участие во второй кампании: им начислят дополнительные токены NOM, что увеличит их активы и первоначальные инвестиции. Также для них будут действовать специальные скидки на покупку NOM. Больше подробностей о втором размещении токенов вы узнаете из нашего письма-обращения к инвесторам: https://goo.gl/Y7kYz8 |

Finom AG has announced its second token sale! During the first token sale, participants purchased FIN security tokens, the digital equivalent of Finom shares. In the first stage, 7000 of our investors pledged over $41 million. Exploring the application of NOM utility tokens, which investors received as a bonus when purchasing FIN tokens, we saw a large potential for NOM. The wider and more active the application of NOM tokens within the project, the more value it will generate. As a result, we decided to make the NOM tokens a full-fledged means of payment within the platform. To reach these goals, the company will carry out the release of an additional number of NOM utility tokens. So the second token sale is all about NOM! It begins on February 1st and lasts until March 3rd. All investors in the original sale will receive the additional NOM tokens as a bonus soon and a special discount for purchasing NOM tokens. For more information about the upcoming NOM token sale, please read our letter for investors: https://goo.gl/CZM4tr |

People say bitcoin is unregulated, usually in order to make the argument that it’s dangerous and unstable. Although bitcoin is, in fact, regulated in a number of ways. All the exchanges offering bitcoin futures trading have had to get approval from the CFTC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. What’s more, there is a number of government bodies that have issued guidance, if not official rules, on cryptocurrency trading. For instance, among the countries who has released their own cryptocurrency regulations you can find Japan, China, USA. In 2014, the IRS issued its first guidance on bitcoin and taxes. It decided to treat bitcoin as property, which means that income from bitcoin would be treated as capital gains, like with stocks. And in the next year, NYDFS introduced the “BitLicense,” a set of regulations governing any digital currency companies based in New York that hold customer funds. Some companies applied for the license, while others shut down their operations in New York to avoid doing so. To summarise: bitcoin trading platforms are already regulated in a number of ways, and we expect even more regulations in the upcoming year. #finom_opinion  |

CryptoTurbulence in Seoul For almost a week there had been rumors about a ban on cryptocurrency trading in South Korea. A couple of days ago reports in the local news agency Yonhap claimed that requirements for Korean traders to use their real names for cryptocurrency trading accounts, a potential regulation reported earlier in January, will indeed come into effect by the end of this month, citing “the authorities.” Yonhap quotes the government's statement: “The proposed shutdown of exchanges that the justice minister recently mentioned is one of the measures suggested by the justice ministry to curb speculation. A governmentwide decision will be made in the future after sufficient consultation and coordination of opinions. Monday's announcement suggests that a shutdown is not likely in the near future.” The situation in South Korea has resulted in fragmented information appearing on a daily basis as to how cryptocurrency will ultimately fare under Seoul’s jurisdiction. In the latest news from Monday, an official statement from the Office for Government Policy Coordination was released stating that a ban on cryptocurrency is not in the works and that the government has yet to come to a final decision. However, some traders think that news about the “ban of exchanges in South Korea” has had an effect on the whole cryptocurrency market. #finom_news  |
