The EVM’s execute-on-transfer problem and non-payable contractsThis week (month/year?) in EVM design annoyance posts, I want to talk about the false concept the EVM and Solidity gives for “non-payable” contracts and one of the bigger attack vectors for smart contracts that is near impossible to fix. For reference, the EVM is what makes Ethereum, Qtum, and probably a few other blockchain contracts work. Basically if you’re writing Solidity, you’re using the EVM. For this article, I’ll just assume it’s all about Ethereum and use ETH as the main-chain currency. This equally applies when using QTUM as the main-chain currency or any other. For the uninitiated, the EVM doesn’t really expose a general purpose interface for transferring Ethereum without potentially executing some contract code (and thus the transfer failing/throwing an exception)… however, there do exist more difficult to use ways of forcing a contract to accept ETH. https://blog.qtum.org/the-evms-execute-on-transfer-problem-and-non-payable-contracts-c652b37c8057

CGCX Targets 1.5m South East Asian Insurance Users with Archipelago Partnershiphttps://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2018/10/cgcx-targets-1-5m-south-east-asian-insurance-users-with-archipelago-partnership/You don’t have to be an American kid infatuated with the country’s (former) favorite pastime to know the famous Field of Dreams quote: "If you build it, they will come." The biggest challenge cryptocurrency platforms are currently facing is attracting new users and converting them to loyal, engaged customers. This is Economics 101. If demand stays constant but supply grows, the economics of a given product do not grow. What ensues is falling profitability and a race to the bottom. As a result, crypto platforms are all trying to attract new users to grow the top-line of the funnel and convert users into long-term adopters. CGCX (Calfin Global Crypto Exchange), the world’s first insured hybrid crypto exchange platform (who just recently raised over $32.5 million during their ICO) is not only disrupting cryptocurrency trading through its unique approach and technology, but it’s bringing disruption to the very way it addresses user adoption and platform growth. On the 5th of October, 2018, CGCX.io entered into a structured long-term partnership with South East Asian insurance powerhouse, the Archipelago Group. The partnership will kickstart a new vertical, namely merchant solutions, that will jumpstart the cryptocurrency business for Archipelago, and at the same time expand the utility of the CGCX.io token.

OriginTrail Quarterly Report — Q3 2018https://medium.com/origintrail/origintrail-quarterly-report-q3-2018-712bcd248be9Q3 was a very vital period in TRAC history, or TRAC-story, if you will. We have been working tirelessly on protocol adoption, launched the Trace Alliance website, and carried out numerous alliance-related activities, including celebrating passing the 50-member milestone. We also launched an open call, which aims to support 10 teams looking to join the mainnet by providing them with $135,000 worth of rewards. We started a new communication channel — a LinkedIn group for Trace Alliance members — and presented OriginTrail to thousands of business professionals at relevant industry events. The technology department perfected the network, with over 800 community members participating in the beta program. Support for additional standards was added to the protocol and the OriginTrail Network Explorer v1 was launched. Let’s dive into more benchmarks and KPIs.
