в итоге провел ночь в поисках... теперь каша в голове Huh
вот к примеру есть ли разница между BTCU8 и BTCU18?
ну Вы и загадку задали((  Я тоже ночь не спал, пытался разгадать((. А утром присмотрелся и как осенило!!  смотрите внимательно - в первом случае, между буквой "U" и цифрой "8" ничего нет, а во втором , между ними стоит единичка"1"!!! Видите?  С Вас мерит.

Технология blockchain выходит далеко за пределы индустрии цифровых валют. Согласно отчету, представленному на Всемирном экономическом форуме, blockchain поможет решить многие проблемы с экологией.
В отчете под названием Building Blockchains for a Better Planet (Создаем blockchain на благо планеты) приводится 65 способов применения технологии для понижения вреда окружающей среде. Невзирая на хайп вокруг blockchain, эксперты убеждены, что технология реально способна решить многие важные проблемы.

В отчете говорится о следующих основных преимуществах blockchain, которые помогут улучшить экологическую ситуацию в мире:

Высокая эффективность децентрализованных систем
Возможность пирингового взаимодействия пользователей
Прозрачность цепочки поставок
Создание новых более энергоемких финансовых моделей
Тем не менее авторы отчета указывают, что blockchain не может решить все существующие проблемы, потому технологию следует применять с умом. В частности, при принятии решения об использовании blockchain руководство компании должно ответить на 3 главных вопроса:

Может ли blockchain устранить существующие недостатки в определенной отрасли?
Обладает ли предприятие необходимыми ресурсами для создания blockchain-платформы?
Сможет ли компания устранить возможные риски и отрицательные последствия использования технологии blockchain?

Major Retail Saudi Bank Joins Ripple Network for International Payments
The National Commercial Bank, Saudi Arabia’s first established bank, has become the latest financial institution to join RippleNet, Ripple’s enterprise blockchain network.

A massive market for international remittances due to its sizable migrant worker population, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has already seen its central bank pilot Ripple’s technology for instant international payments. With over 5 million customers worldwide, the National Commercial Bank (NCB) has followed the central bank in joining RippleNet to enable near-instant international payments with partner banks internationally.

RippleNet is Ripple’s enterprise blockchain network with over 100 financial institutions including banks, payment providers, remittance operators and other financial institutions using the SWIFT-replacement platform  for near real-time clearing and settlement of international transactions.

The bank will initially connect to financial institutions in North America and Asia, starting in Singapore, Ripple said in an announcement.

Ripple sees the KSA as one of the world’s largest sources for remittances over the last ten years. Citing World Bank statistics, 37 billion dollars in outward remittances were sent from the country in 2016, largely from a foreign worker population that remained over 10 million in 2018 despite a slowdown in the biggest Arab economy.

“For SMEs and corporations that depend on NCB, more efficient and transparent remittances will provide stability and help them grow their business faster,” Ripple added.

As CCN reported earlier in February, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) – the kingdom’s defacto central bank – became the first central monetary institution in the world to join RippleNet. The central bank initiated a pilot among regional banks using xCurrent, Ripple’s end-to-end tracking enterprise blockchain software.

Meanwhile, the central banks of Saudi Arabia and the UAE are concurrently working on a cross-border cryptocurrency for instant transactions between the two countries.

Crypto Bloodbath: Bitcoin and Ethereum Record Losses in $10 Billion Wipeout
Over the past 24 hours, the crypto market has experienced a large sell off as Bitcoin demonstrated a 3 percent drop in price, leading the market to drop $10 billion.



Ethereum and EOS recorded the largest drop amongst major cryptocurrencies at 9 percent, while Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Monero, Cardano, and Dash demonstrated steep 7 percent losses.

What Caused the Steep Decline?
On September 16, CCN reported that a wallet containing $720 million in Bitcoin, which was dormant for many years, started to move funds to Bitfinex.

A Reddit user with an online alias u/Sick_Silk claimed that the wallet is owned by a Silk Road-related figure, who was most likely involved in the operation of the dark web marketplace. The user said:

“It seems that the owner of a huge SilkRoad related wallet is moving funds actively since 3 days, dividing it in chunks of 100 coins by subwallets. The original wallet owned 111,114.62 BTC / BCH , which is currently valuated ~ $844M (without taking in account other #Bitcoin forks). Last movements on these subwallets are 4 years and 5 months old (March 9th, 2014).”

WizSec, a Japan-based security agency which discovered the money launderer behind the stolen funds of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox, stated that the wallet is completely unrelated to Silk Road but rather to Mt. Gox. Analysts at the agency explained that a whale investor who purchased a massive batch of Bitcoin a few years back have started moving the funds.

It is possible that the sell-off of hundreds of millions of dollars in Bitcoin initiated by one whale investor caused a domino effect across all major cryptocurrency exchanges, causing the market to drop substantially.

Prior to September 18, major digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum demonstrated stability in the low price range, showing signs of a short-term bottom. Hence, it required a large sell-off and an unforeseen event in the cryptocurrency exchange market to trigger a drop of this magnitude.

А я вот решил новые платформы осваивать  с помощью баунти. Нарыл проект на Achain .Как раз по моему в этой ветке была статья что Achain это новый Neo Cheesy Не взлетит ну и ладно.Зато познакомлюсь с новой платформой.С баунти на Комодо ничего толкового не вышло. Блокнейшн дали токенов но они делали рефанд и надо ждать когда они заново что-то запустя. Pearlpay тоже не фонтан походу.Закончили раньше времени баунти из-за филипинского СЕК. Токены вроде должны раздать.Комодо конечно прикольная платформа но проекты (по крайней мере те в чьих баунти я участвовал) на нём пока очень слабые . Хоть не скамят а возвращают деньги инвесторам.С такими проектами  платформе будет сложно иксовать.

Привет. Да, токены начислили в таблице. А когда раздадут, не в курсе? Спасибо.



И еще. Может кто в курсе. Как поменять свои токены VeChain (VEN) на МЭВ лежат, на новые после свопа (VET)? Спасибо.

Криптокошелек Bitcoin.com пропал из магазина приложений Google Play

До этого момента команда BitPay еще не сделала официального заявления о вероятном проведении технических работ либо обновлении собственной инфраструктуры. Пока остается неустановленным, стало ли удаление кошелька из Google Play результатом многочисленных негативных оценок.

В кэшированной версии Google осталась статистика скачиваний BitPay и средний рейтинг, выставленный пользователями. Никаких сообщений о взломах либо несоблюдении безопасности также не поступало. Но репутация BitPay никак не безупречна.

BitPay — не единое приложение, загадочно исчезнувшее из списка Play Store.

Мотивом к совершению похожих действий был тот факт, что Bitcoin.com называл себя кошельком для монет bitcoin, хотя по сути в приоритете предлагал накапливать Bitcoin Cash, а юзеры были внесены в заблуждение. В то время как компания не озаботилась оглашением причины своего решения, CEO Bitcoin.com Роджер Вер связывает его с новыми правилами, не разрешающими размещать приложения, которые могут использоваться для майнинга криптовалют.

Такая реакция сообщества была вызвана тем фактом, что Bitcoin.com фактически вводил в заблуждение новых пользователей: позиционируя себя в качестве биткоин-кошелька, он предлагал в качестве первой опции криптовалюту Bitcoin Cash. Правда, получить BitPay всё еще можно на остальных площадках — приложение доступно в App Store.

Bitcoin Opinion: The Lessons Of A Bearish Market
With my last couple of articles, I’ve taken the discussion away from price and volume, as I wanted to focus on the underlying bitcoin infrastructure and governance model, as well as on the technology developments that will push adoption. I believe it was worth it, as we really need to understand how this new distributed infrastructure and organizational models can be applied to most businesses today. More however, if we do not make an effort to learn the subtle difference between decentralizing infrastructure vs decentralizing governance, all this cryptocurrency madness might end up blowing all over our faces.

After all, what’s the point of having a decentralized infrastructure if power remains with the few and not the many?

It’s up to all of us to pressure governments, regulators, news media, and crypto-influencers to promote better outcomes for a decentralized world, by simply not blocking people from accessing this wonderful medium of storing value or by spreading FUD amongst the crypto-community. Aren’t we all on the same boat, after all?

–this article shouldn’t be taken as financial advisement as it represents my personal opinion and views. I have savings invested in cryptocurrency so take whatever I write with a grain of salt. Do not invest what you cannot afford to lose and always read as much as possible about a project before investing. Never forget: with great power, comes great responsibility. Being your own bank means you’re always responsible for your own money—

28  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / India’s Biggest Startup Incubator CEO [Falsely] Says Bitcoin Failed Due to $20 F on: September 16, 2018, 12:48:41 PM
India’s Biggest Startup Incubator CEO [Falsely] Says Bitcoin Failed Due to $20 F
According to Jay Krishnan, the CEO of T-Hub, India’s largest startup incubator & venture advisor to SRI Capital, Bitcoin has failed due to $20 transaction fees. Except that since December, for over nine months, the median transaction fee of Bitcoin has remained below $0.2.
In December 2017, the demand for Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Ripple, and Bitcoin Cash achieved an all-time high. The price of Bitcoin, which hovered at around $19,500 in the global market, surpassed $24,000 in South Korea, as premiums pushed the price of BTC up.

False Argument About Scalability
Bitcoin and blockchain-based systems, in general, are decentralized networks that exist on peer-to-peer protocols. As such, scalability through cryptographic engineering and development is required. Since the end of 2017, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other blockchain networks have seen a drastic improvement in scalability.

Bitcoin has integrated SegWit and Lightning while Ethereum is in the process of implementing Sharding and Plasma to potentially increase the transaction capacity of the blockchain to a million transactions.

Yet, Krishnan, a figure that is responsible for overseeing innovative developments in one of the biggest markets in the world in terms of population and market size, concluded that Bitcoin has failed due to its inability to address unprecedented levels of transaction activity and demand in December.

“The fallacy of Bitcoin as a currency is its transaction fee which is typically above $20. The transaction fee is paid to ensure convenience and security in the exchange. This is not only higher than the transaction fee paid for regulated currency but is also an indication of the security risk it holds,” he said.

The difference in stance towards cryptocurrencies by Krishnan and world-renowned venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz is quite evident. This week, at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, legendary investor and one of the most successful venture capital investors Ben Horowitz said that crypto represents the birth of a new computing system.

In the beginning, crypto may seem more inefficient and impractical than legacy systems. But, its decentralized nature leads to the development of apps that were not possible to build before. He added that the deceptiveness of new computing systems is that at the start, they seem worse in most ways than old platforms.

Horowitz said:

“I think that there is probably more developer activity in crypto than in anything we’ve seen since the Internet and the right way to think about it is, it’s a new computing platform. Once every decade or two, a new computing platform comes along. The thing that is deceptive about is that when the new platform at the time is generally worse in most ways than the old platform but has some new capabilities.”

29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Tezos Surges 50% in a Week Ahead of Scheduled Mainnet Launch on Monday on: September 16, 2018, 12:46:47 PM
Tezos Surges 50% in a Week Ahead of Scheduled Mainnet Launch on Monday
Tezos, the eighth largest initial coin offering (ICO) in history, is launching its mainnet on Monday. Ahead of its mainnet launch, the price of XTZ, the native token of the Tezos network, surged by more than 50 percent.

Since September 9, XTZ has increased by over 52 percent from $1.15 to $1.75, prior to its highly anticipated mainnet launch. Investors in the cryptocurrency market have been especially enthusiastic about the progress that has been made on the development of Tezos over the past few months, after a year-long dispute amongst its founders that stalled the launch of the blockchain network.

Although Tezos completed its $232 million ICO in July of 2017, the development of the blockchain network was delayed due to the conflict between its co-founders and founding members of the foundation.

Ultimately, the legal battle between the founders was resolved and the development of Tezos was resumed, allowing the foundation to streamline the process of releasing its first mainnet release.

Generally, over the past 48 hours, tokens have been on an optimistic trend, recording solid gains against Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. But, tokens have only been able to initiate a corrective rally because the market demonstrated extremely oversold conditions.

Tokens specifically performed poor against the US dollar in early September, when Bitcoin remained in the low $6,000 region. As Bitcoin started to find momentum and recovered beyond the $6,500 resistance level, tokens showed slight momentum on the upside.
Hence, the 50 percent increase in the price of XTZ cannot be attributed to the overall recovery of the market but rather the mainnet launch of the Tezos blockchain network after a year of stalled development.

Moreover, as Ryan Jesperson, the president of Tezos Foundation, said in an official blog post, the launch of betanet was smooth and the genesis block of the betanet phase of Tezos was released without any hardship.

The seamless launch of the betanet of Tezos fueled the anticipation towards its mainnet, which is the network’s first major product release apart from its betanet release.

“As far as network launches go, it was remarkably smooth. A development team in Paris tested and refined the codebase, working tirelessly leading up to the launch. Ultimately, the Foundation proposed a genesis block and the betanet phase of the network went live,” Jesperson said.

Jesperson also noted that Tezos hired PwC, a Big Four auditor, to operate as an external auditor for Tezos, to ensure the legitimacy of the financials and operations of the project.

Jesperson added:

“We recently announced that PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Switzerland had agreed to act as the independent external auditor for our finances and operations. The Tezos Foundation is the first large-scale blockchain organization to have one of the Big Four accounting firms serve as an external auditor.”

30  Economy / Economics / Crypto Firm Adds Two Nobel Winning Economists to Advisory Board on: September 15, 2018, 12:33:08 PM
Crypto Firm Adds Two Nobel Winning Economists to Advisory Board
Cryptic Labs, a commercial blockchain research lab has announced the addition of two Economics Nobel Prize winners to its team. Dr. Eric S. Maskin and Sir Christopher Pissarides will provide their unique insights on incentive mechanisms, game theory and macro-economic policies to its Economics Advisory Board.

Research Portfolios and New Roles
Dr. Maskin, the Adams University Professor at Harvard University jointly won the 2007 Nobel Prize in Economics for laying the foundation of mechanism design theory. His work at Cryptic Labs will focus on game theory and mechanism design, with an emphasis on how blockchain companies can guide user incentives at a company level.

Dr. Pissarides is the Regius Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics where he specializes in the economics of labor markets, macroeconomic policy, economic growth, and structural change. In 2010 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for his analysis of markets with search frictions.

At Cryptic Labs, he will provide expertise on macroeconomic trends, focusing on the effect of the labor and money supply at a macro level.

The two Nobel Laureates join a team at Cryptic Labs which includes Chief Scientist Dr. Whitfield Diffie, winner of the 2015 Turing Award. The trio were recruited by Herman Collins, a globally recognised executive search expert who also leads Cryptic Labs’ Human Capital Advisory initiative.

In a statement to CCN, Humphrey Polanen, Co-founder and Managing Director of Cryptic Labs expressed delight at the recruitment coup, stating that their combined expertise will provide an understanding of behavioral economics to the blockchain industry.

In his words:

“These experts and other economics advisors will help our client companies navigate complex problems, advising them on blockchain economics and helping them craft the incentive systems they need to ensure adoption and growth.”

In his own reaction, Dr. Pissarides described blockchain technology as “the most exciting development in financial markets in recent years,” albeit one that has not been sufficiently explored as to recommend wholesale financial transition to blockchain.

He further expressed his excitement at the opportunity to use his macroeconomics expertise to make the blockchain more secure and widely accessible while examining its implications for trade, financial markets and economic performance.

On his part, Dr. Maskin stated that h looks forward to exploring blockchain technology from an economic as against technical point of view.

He said:

“Most discussions of blockchain technology focus on technical issues. I am more interested in the economic value such technology can bring. I believe that my background in economics and mechanism design should be useful for that purpose.”

On his part, Dr. Maskin stated that h looks forward to exploring blockchain technology from an economic as against technical point of view.

He said:

“Most discussions of blockchain technology focus on technical issues. I am more interested in the economic value such technology can bring. I believe that my background in economics and mechanism design should be useful for that purpose.”

31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Bitcoin Will Rebound, But Altcoins are ‘Never Coming Back’: BitPay Exec. on: September 14, 2018, 04:12:56 PM
Bitcoin Will Rebound, But Altcoins are ‘Never Coming Back’: BitPay Exec.
A top executive at one of the oldest and largest cryptocurrency payment processors said that he firmly expects bitcoin to rebound within the next year but that altcoin prices may never again see their early-2018 peaks.

Sonny Singh, chief commercial officer at BitPay, said during an interview with Bloomberg that his firm has “never been more bullish” on cryptocurrency, noting that adoption and infrastructure development is moving “full speed ahead” even as the market has shed approximately 80 percent of its value from its January peak.

However, he notes that this infrastructure development has largely been concentrated on a single cryptocurrency — bitcoin — which Singh expects to steadily eclipse the bulk of its supposed disruptors.

“[Altcoins] will never come back, I believe, in the same way, a bitcoin will come back. You know, Fidelity, BlackRock, they’re not launching altcoin products. They’re going to launch bitcoin products. So bitcoin will rebound next year” when these mainstream products begin to see widespread releases, he said, adding that the initial coin offering (ICO) market is “in a lot of trouble.”

To his point, altcoins as a group have been affected by the precipitous market decline to a markedly greater degree than bitcoin, whose market share in recent days has risen to 2018 highs.

Singh said that he is not sure if the bitcoin market has yet found its bottom, noting that trading sentiment appears to suggest that investors are looking for a “defining moment” or “catalyst” that will spur the next bitcoin rally.

Lately, he explained, investors have largely been trading on rumors of whether or not large financial institutions will roll out products for this nascent asset class. Consequently, it’s unlikely that the bitcoin price rally will see anything more than fits and starts until these rumors concretize into material actions, such if Goldman Sachs actually starts trading cryptocurrency, BlackRock launches a bitcoin ETF, or Square begins processing bitcoin payments.

Singh believes that such a catalyst will occur in the mid-term, likely at some point in 2019.

пробовал заряжать подземные пустоты района, вспомнил что в Подмосковье это помогало очень, тяжесть уходила. Так вот, после этого как уснул неупокоенный дух схватил меня за горло и яйца, а пошевелиться и проснуться не получалось, видимо не понравилось ему очень это дело. Раньше обычно только за горло хватали, если приезжаешь в плохой дом ночевать, а тут аж так вышло. Мистики есть, кто может объяснить?
Спасибо друг, что ответил. Ты, главное, это, не торопись. Тебе сейчас всё всё объяснят. Ещё раз спасибо.

Mt. Gox Begins Taking Claims from Corporate Bitcoin Creditors

Defunct bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox has opened up its online rehabilitation claim filing system to corporate creditors who were holding cryptocurrency funds on the platform when it went belly up in 2014.

Mt. Gox rehabilitation trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi made the announcement in a document dated Sept. 12 and published on the Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange operator’s website. According to the document, creditors must file their claims by Oct. 22 to be eligible for compensation.

CCN reported last month that Mt. Gox had begun accepting claims from individual creditors, who — like corporate users — must submit claims even if they had already done so during the exchange operator’s bankruptcy proceedings.

The exchange, which once handled 70 percent of all bitcoin trades worldwide, went bust in 2014, shortly after losing as much as $450 million (850,000 BTC) in what was long the largest theft in pure dollar terms in cryptocurrency history, having now been surpassed by the Coincheck hack that occurred in Jan. 2018.

Insolvent following the theft, Mt. Gox entered bankruptcy, though CEO Mark Karpeles — who served jail time for embezzling funds from the exchange — later recovered approximately 200,000 BTC worth of company funds.

Prior to the exchange’s exit from bankruptcy, Kobayashi attracted criticism within cryptocurrency circles for his decision to cover the exchange’s outstanding liabilities by liquidating its cryptocurrency assets in large batches on spot trading markets, rather than through the over-the-counter (OTC) channels typically used by large-scale traders. Following the company’s entry into civil rehabilitation, Kobayashi pledged that there would be no more surprise sell-offs.

Ethereum Spikes 16% Overnight to $220 as Crypto Market Recovers to $204 Billion
ETH, the native cryptocurrency of Ethereum, has surged by more than 16 percent overnight, rebounding $224.
Within 48 hours, the price of ETH surged from $168 to $224, by more than 33 percent. While ETH has retraced slightly to $215, the second most valuable cryptocurrency in the market has found a breathing room that may enable it to find momentum.
It is early in the corrective rally of ETH to definitively conclude that ETH has initiated an upside movement. But, investors in the market are optimistic as the valuation of the cryptocurrency market recovered beyond the $200 billion mark, to $204 billion.
Market Recovery
According to Alex Kruger, an economist and cryptocurrency researcher who previously expressed his concerns regarding a potential decline in the value of cryptocurrencies subsequent to a solid corrective rally, the upside of ETH is expected to continue in the upcoming days.
“The $6,400 BTC breakout unleashed an impressive +13.5% ETH reversal (from $189 to $215). Expect upwards continuation,” he said, reaffirming his target shared on September 12, when ETH started to recover.

Kruger added:
“Direction of ETHUSD depends on BTCUSD. If BTC breaks $6,400 next levels are $6,600 – $6,650 and $6,850. ETH would break up much harder. Temporarily. Then expect selloff to resume, BTC to break the year lows, hellfire among alts, and ETH weaker than competing tokens. That’s my view atm.”

Already, tokens like Nano, Tezos, Kyber Network, BAT, Tron, 0x, ICON, and Ontology have started to record decent gains against Bitcoin in the 5 to 20 percent range.

Generally, tokens have followed the short-term price trend of ETH over the past few months. As Ethereum begins to demonstrate some momentum on the upside and if the optimistic price trend of ETH can be maintained throughout the week, it is likely for tokens to see large gains against major cryptocurrencies.

The recovery of the market, which was undoubtedly triggered by strong oversold conditions, comes in a time in which some of the most positive developments in the cryptocurrency sector regarding the institutionalization and regulation of the market have emerged.

With Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs committed to offer crypto custody and futures around cryptocurrencies, investors are expecting an influx of institutional investors in the market.

Проксиму отравляешь на адрес NEM. Чтобы отправить XPX из кошелька и увидеть баланс, отмечаешь "мозайка" и добавляешь XPX. Просто и удобно. Трезор с ним работает.

Current Legal System Can’t Recognize Bitcoin, India’s Central Bank Tells Supreme Court
The Reserve Bank on India (RBI) on Wednesday filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court to clarify its stand on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

The central bank reserved its views on the legality of cryptocurrencies in India, telling the apex court that the constitution has not defined any legal system for virtual currencies. Citing the provisions of The Coinage Act and The RBI Act, the affidavit explained that the existing legal frameworks neither recognize Bitcoin as currency nor money. Hence, they are not a valid payment system.

The Supreme Court of India is currently hearing a case between the RBI and Bitcoin exchanges. The court’s busy schedule has pushed the hearing date twice already; the next hearing is now scheduled for September 17, 2018.

FEMA, PSSA Roadblocks to Recognition
RBI has been facing a backlash from the Indian crypto-community ever since it ordered banks to discontinue their services with cryptocurrency exchanges. An RTI response after the blanket ban further revealed that the Indian apex bank didn’t research Bitcoin enough before dismissing it.

However, RBI said they could not be the one to term Bitcoin as legal or illegal. They are bound by statutory provisions –  the acts mentioned in the Constitution of India – that makes them take the necessary measures against the booming virtual currency industry.

“RBI cannot unilaterally decide for the Government, on the legality of Bitcoins,” the central bank said.

The RBI affidavit mentioned The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) which allows them the authority to name instruments as valid currency. But the act itself is only valid for instruments with similar characteristics that of cheques, money orders, postal orders, etc.

Спасибо , друг, за статистику. Это очень многое обьясняет. Я всегда был в этом уверен. Теперь и жить и дышать стало как то легче. я серьезно.
