From what it sounds like it's a precursor to a ICO and IEO. So you're able to sort out the shitcoins before they even happen 

That's a pretty neat idea especially since it is voluntary and could teach new users about staking. In the article it says these tokens are inexpensive so for those that aren't familiar this could be a really great opportunity

Ciphertrace's AML Report for Q2 was just published and is important to see the alarming numbers. Thefts and scams have reached $4.26 billion in aggregate for 2019.

Ciphertrace also notes that the new FATF travel rule presents a major hurdle for exchanges which I would be interested to see how this plans out. The report also that Bitcoin is still the main crypto used in the dark web.

I am going to have to look into this a big more thanks for sharing

Absolutely yes! Majority of the nations are not realizing the fact that cryptos can't be banned in reality. When they will realize this simple fact, these companies like Ciphertrace will be in demand because then governments will have to find ways to fight scams and frauds in a different manner and with the help of a sophisticated technology.

I agree with you on both points. Governments can't outright ban crypto instead they need to work with the proper companies to work with it not against it. I keep seeing and hearing Ciphertrace pop up in the news especially when they release the amount lost due to scams and theft

Has anyone else heard about Solana? they seem pretty new on the scene but this could be huge

Right on. I have been seeing a lot of NULS being talked about in the space lately. Will have to look into it more

NULS especially now that they upgraded to having ChainBox. Any developer can build on their platform no matter what language they know or even if htey are well versesd in blockchain

Will have to look into this more and watch these videos to get a better understanding. Sounds interesting

Well some are treated like real life sports and others can generate revenue. There are plus sides to video games granted I think are just as many downsides too. But that is just technology in general

If anyone is interested in trying their hand at building a blockchain, Nuls has provided modules for any devs not just blockchain specific to build out an entire blockchain.

Nuls is claiming that you can build a chain in under 10 minutes and are starting to showcase a video series to prove it: https://medium.com/@nuls/chainbox-a-step-by-step-walkthrough-video-8c52ba1b1255

Too good to be true?

that's a valid point. do you think more universities are prone to including blockchain courses and general education around it?

I feel like companies like  ciphertrace are trying to warn the entire world about the dangers of ignoring money laundering and not just Malta otherwise they wouldn't be in place

I can see how this protocol will solve the scalability and privacy issue. So ultimately it's like Signal if you turned on the disappearing function and could trust the information would actually be abstracted.

Do you still have to pay for a Yahoo email? I feel like you should consider moving to another service provider. is there a reason you've stuck with Yahoo for this long?

NULS 2.0 has recently launched and with it came their chain-building solution called ChainBox which allows any developer even those without blockchain experience to build with NULS.

There are modules related around oracle data, mortgage lending, DEX transaction, account permissions, anonymous privacy, tracability and additional consensus mechanisms.

The best part? Developers won't be limited by language when interacting with ChainBox!

Running through August 28th, $500,000 in NULS prizes

NULS will. Did you see their announcement of a 10 minute blockchain style approach?

definitely excited to see what these guys bring out. I've been testing out their mobile app and want to see any updates

I have heard that using free wifi is really bad as well, does that make your stuff susceptible to being hacked?
