Я не могу найти конкретных дат добавления на биржу Nebula, даже приблизительных. У Nebula сообщество в телеграмм - 221 человек, наверное самая дешевая биржа по листингу. Можно предположить что цена будет раза в 2 ниже ICO.

Нашел, сама Nebula запускается 30 Апреля, наверное CAV будет сразу там.

Я как-то пропустил эту новость. 12 Апреля Mark.Space токены добавили в листинг биржи COSS.io.

10 Апреля 2018, Mark.Space получили еще  US$11 млн от новых стратегических инвесторов. Неизвестно, получили ли эти инвесторы токены со скидкой взамен денег, или иные бенефиты от компании. В скором времени жидается еще 7 US$11 млн инвестиций в компанию.
Это получается двойная капа и плюс еще намечается вливание?

Да, именно так, средства которые собрали на ICO + еще вливания от сторонних инвесторов.

Недавно компания представила удобный персональный кошелек MARK.SPACE PASS, а так же бонус и систему unit-ваучеров. Ваучеры начнут действовать с 24 Апреля. С 27 Апреля пользователи смогут выбрать Unit и локацию к нему.

Remind me please what was the price of the ICO?. I just bought them for $ 0.5 after the ICO on the market.
ICO price was almost $2 ($1.98) according Icodrops https://icodrops.com/crypterium/ 
Currently it's 3x more cheaper than ICO price

ICOdrops showed wrong price in USD. They corrected it to 0.75 USD (https://icodrops.com/crypterium/). It was the average purchase price in USD. Just to remind, the price was fixed in BTC (0.0001BTC) during the ICO.
So currently we are above ICO price, but the volume is low so we deserve a bigger exchanges.
I've been watching the price movement and I have seen a stable increase, from 8k, we shoot up now to 10K sats, great progress.
I also just checked it. And yeah! It is currently a bit above the ICO price but the volume is still not that much. Anyway, this is a good sign also for the project. I should make myself ready for the coming days, I feel really good about it.

Thank you for your investigation. I knew that there was some mistake in icodrops calculations all these time, marketcap was 60 000 000$ mln  (they collected it during ICO), but the price still displayed as 0.64 BTC per token.

Гайз, есть ли где-то в открытом доступе информация о средневзвешенной цене токена (в долларах), по которой участники покупали в ходе ICO Crypterium?  Спасибо!
Сейчас появилась возможность на сайте MyEtherWallet смотреть по какой цене в долларах продавался токен на краудсейле. Для этого рядом с балансом токенов появилась кнопка, которая раскрывает эту информацию.

Жаль у меня мерита нет вам поставить, действительно очень важно что можно теперь посмотреть цену токена на краудсейле. Однако лучше ее соспоставлять и перепроверять, так как есть еще цены preico, бонусные монеты (бывают насыпают двойной бонус как было с GatCoin).
206  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-04-20] Bitcoin Helps Square’s Stock Bounce on: April 20, 2018, 07:35:29 AM
Jack Dorsey’s decision to support bitcoin trading in the Square Cash app is paying off. Payments platform Square Inc, of which Dorsey is at the helm, got a boost on Wednesday after Wall Street analysts said BTC trading would bolster the company’s quarterly results. The app lets customers trade BTC from their Cash App balance almost instantaneously, which is an attractive feature for traders.

According to CNBC, Nomura Instinet expects Square could experience a “sizeable boost” to its top-line and bottom-line results in the current quarter, which the company reports on May 2. Nomura Instinet analyst Dan Dolev also said in a note to clients that Square could lift its adjusted EBITDA guidance as a result of the bitcoin effect by a possible 10% to the upside.

Quote
“This can help offset rising investment costs required to broaden Square’s international presence,” according to Dolev in the note cited by CNBC.

Investors cheered the news, with Square’s stock climbing nearly 5% higher at the end of Wednesday’s trading.

Nomura Instinet’s Dolev already had a buy on Square and he reiterated that rating while also lifting the price target from $64 to $65. Meanwhile, as of Thursday morning, the stock, which is already on a tear and has advanced more than 40% year-to-date, was trading at just over $51 per share, which suggests it remains undervalued.

Square announced support for bitcoin trading in beta for its cash app last year, and Wall Street has been cheering the stock ever since. The company presciently recognized an opportunity to capitalize on the rise of mobile payments and millennials’ interest in decentralized cryptocurrency bitcoin. Square said in its fourth quarter 2017 earnings report:

Quote
“[Customers] can now buy and sell Bitcoin in Cash App. We observed that this was a feature our customers wanted, and we support Bitcoin because we see it as a step in the long-term path toward greater financial access for all.”

Bitcoin trading officially launched in January, when co-founder Dorsey tweeted the following message on the platform where he also banned ICO and cryptocurrency related ads.

It’s unclear if the company will break out the bitcoin-generated results. Dolev says between 2% and 6% of Square Cash customers trade BTC, which could bolster Square’s adjusted revenue by as much as 3%. Another way of putting it is Square’s added yearly revenue per user could be $125.

Square’s Dorsey is a bitcoin bull and believes that the leading digital currency will surpass fiat money and emerge as the “single currency” of the world and internet over the course of the next decade.

208  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-04-18] Quebec Chief Scientist: Bitcoin 'Not A Magnet For Illicit Transacti on: April 19, 2018, 08:43:09 AM
The Chief Scientist of Canada’s second most populous province says concerns that Bitcoin is being used for illicit activities like money laundering and tax evasion are largely overblown, according to a new post on the agency’s website.

“Bitcoin is not above the law, nor is it a magnet for illicit transactions: it forms only a tiny part of the criminal money circulating around the planet,” explains the note, which was prepared by Agence Science-Presse and Fonds de Recherche du Québec - a government research fund - and posted to website of Quebec's Chief Scientist Rémi Quirion.

The rationale underlying the conclusion was two-fold: Bitcoin’s lack of fully anonymous transactability and the existence of other cryptocurrencies like Zcash and Monero that offer greater privacy to users.


“The reason: [Bitcoin] is less attractive for anyone who wants to make transactions without leaving a trace,” explains the note, which is entitled “Bitcoin Above the Law? False” and is part of the agency’s Rumor Detector series.

Since it emerged on the public radar a half-decade ago, Bitcoin has been criticized ad nauseum for being a supposed vehicle for criminal activity. Most recently, Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, published an article calling for the “dark side” of Bitcoin to be addressed through regulation.

The article acknowledges that bitcoin has been blamed for a multiplicity of evils, but goes on to dispute that conclusion:

“Certainly, there are many things that Bitcoin can be blamed for - anonymity, risky investing - but the facts do not support the theory of crime.”

Indeed, the transparent and public nature of the Bitcoin blockchain, where copies of transactions are recorded and distributed across the global network, makes it less than ideal for shady anonymous activity.

"The anonymity of Bitcoin is a myth. [It is just as] transparent as money, because you have to go through a platform where you have to give personal information,” the report states. “At the limit, if the name is not his, we always know the address of the transmitter and that of the receiver.”

210  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-04-18] Crypto Reluctance Leads Nowhere Says Lithuanian Central Bank on: April 18, 2018, 10:58:03 AM
The central bank of Lithuania has begun talks with commercial banks and virtual currency traders on their attitudes towards cryptocurrencies.

Though she acknowledges the risks, Jekaterina Govina, fintech strategy coordinator at the Bank of Lithuania, says:

Blind denial, reluctance to understand and to work with the cryptocurrency world leads nowhere.

Usually conservative on the matter of cryptocurrencies, the central bank of Lithuania has gathered representatives from the banking sector, virtual currency traders, those involved with ICOs, and officials from the Lithuanian Finance Ministry and the Financial Crime Investigation Services (FNTT).

Speaking at a subsequent conference, Govina said of the meeting:

Quote
It’s necessary that banks speak to those who have carried out an ICO or those who convert cryptocurrencies into conventional money. A dialog has been established and it remains to be seen where it will lead us.

AMBITIONS TO BECOME A EUROPEAN FINTECH HUB

The Bank of Lithuania requires traditional financial services to be separated entirely from ICOs and cryptocurrency-related activities. This position does somewhat restrict ICOs in the Baltic country, which maintains an ambition to become a northern European fintech hub.

Speaking of the country and its capital, Vilnius, the Lithuanian Vice-Minister of Economy, Marius Skarupskas, expressed his support for financially innovative blockchain technology earlier in 2018.

Quote
Lithuania and Vilnius have serious intentions to invest into breakthrough in this area and to become a leader on the regional and global scale.

According to statistics from Blockchain Center Vilnius, Lithuanian projects attract 10% of all global ICO investments.

212  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-04-17] Kraken Exchange Decides to Close Down Japanese Operations on: April 17, 2018, 08:43:46 AM
Kraken, the US-based cryptocurrency exchange, has announced their plans of ceasing all of their trading operations in Japan in the near future.

RELEASE THE KRAKEN . . . FROM JAPAN!

The Kraken exchange, one of the larger cryptocurrency exchanges in existence, has just announced that they will be leaving the Japanese market for the time being.

In a report published by Bloomberg, Kraken stated:

Quote
Suspending services for Japan residents will allow us to better focus on our resources to improve in other geographical areas. This is a localized suspension of service that only affects residents of Japan and does not impact services for Japanese citizens or businesses domiciled outside of Japan.

This announcement came about due to cited increased operational costs, and Japan’s increasing regulation of the cryptocurrency market may have also been a factor.

A HUB FOR CRYPTO ACTIVITY

Cryptocurrency community members often cite Japan as one of the main cryptocurrency capitals in the world, with many organizations in Japan hopping on the cryptocurrency bandwagon. Yahoo Japan has just announced their partial acquisition of a cryptocurrency exchange as they plan to dip their feet into this rising market.

Along with organizations, it seems that the public has gotten quite involved in the sector. A survey conducted by R25 has found that approximately 14% of Japanese males, ranging from the ages of 25 to 30, own cryptocurrencies.

Contrary to this positive news, increasing government regulations have surged after the immense $560 Million USD hack of Coincheck, a Japan-based exchange. Following the hack, there were calls for increased scrutiny to make sure that such a hack would not occur again.

For that reason, the Japanese Financial Services Agency has been moving towards more protective stances which will require exchanges to be licensed and feature high levels of security. Some exchanges have been unable to meet these demands and have closed down.

LEAVING THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN

Kraken had obtained the required authority from regulators to operate without a license in the country. However, the American-based exchange never really caught on with the Japanese public.

Over the course of their 3-year history in Japan, they failed to garner an adequate amount of volume on the exchange. As of April 17th, the volume between the BTC/JPY pairs was only $165,298 in the past 24 hours, which is a measly 0.9% of the exchange’s total volume.

When you take a look at the BTC/USD volume, at $36 million, you can clearly see some discrepancies between the two figures. This discrepancy is even higher when compared to localized exchanges, such as bitFyler, which has done $130 million in BTC/JPY pairs over the last 24 hours.

Considering the levels of adoption Kraken has seen, along with expected costs for increased regulation, it makes sense why Kraken is focusing their eyes on other markets. The exchange expects to end their presence in Japan by the end of June. However, the company is leaving the door open to returning to Japan one day.

213  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-04-16] Buyer Loses $278,000 USD in Bitcoin Robbery on: April 16, 2018, 07:18:56 AM
The rise of cryptocurrency has brought many opportunities for investment, but such wealth potential has also attracted criminals. A recent example is of a Bitcoin robbery in Singapore, in which the victim was robbed of over $278,000 USD.

The Singaporean police force has recently announced a robbery case involving a Bitcoin transaction. Pang Joon Hau, a Malaysian man, traveled to Singapore on April 8th in search of Bitcoin sellers.

Carrying lots of cash not a wise decision

Pang contacted a broker in Singapore, who then met with Pang at his hotel where the two of them waited for the seller to show up.

The “seller” eventually showed up, accompanied by his “broker.” Once it was ascertained that Pang was carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cash without any sort of security protection, the criminals then assaulted Pang and his broker. The criminals then fled, carrying with them roughly the $278,000 USD Pang had brought with him.

Pang Joon Hau quickly filed a report after the robbery, which allowed the police to glean more information about the suspected criminals. After some intensive groundwork, the local Singaporean police announced last Thursday that they had captured the two criminals.

Mohd Abdul Rahman Mohamad, the Bitcoin “broker,” was arrested at a hotel in a smaller Singaporean district, Sentosa, and was charged with robbery by the police. However, the police also suspect that he is involved with another robbery case earlier in the year where he robbed over $150,000 Singaporean dollars worth of expensive items from a home.

However, some believe that before he was arrested, the criminal had already spent over $60,000 USD on a luxurious shopping spree, with some reporting that he spent some of the money on luxury watches. Due to the Bitcoin robbery involving an intent to hurt, he could be put in jail for a minimum of 5 years, a lengthy sentence to say the least.

Syed Mokhtar Syed Yusope, his partner in crime, was arrested at a rail transit station with his 10,000 Singaporean dollar share of the stolen amount as he attempted to evade capture by police forces.

Could the buyer also be in the wrong?


However, the unsuspecting buyer, Pang Joon Hau, has also been put under scrutiny by the police in Singapore as Arthur Law, Commander of Central Police Division Assistant Commissioner, mentioned that it was not normal for such transactions to be arranged that featured a large amount of physical cash to be exchanged for Bitcoin. The police are currently investigating the source of the funds carried by Pang.

It is gratifying to see that the criminals were apprehended. Arthur Law adds:

Quote
The Police will not condone anyone committing such serious offenses and profiting from the proceeds of the crime. We will spare no efforts in pursuing such criminals and deal with them in accordance with the law.

As always, one should always exercise extreme caution when buying bitcoins in person. The possibility of being robbed is always there, so it’s best to remain cautious and stay vigilant.

Guys, congratulations with your 3rd license, great job!
I heard you are working as well on E-Money license. When do you expect to get it?
Thank you! We are close to obtain our 4th license. Will make an announcement when it’s done, stay tuned!

How many licences do you need to cover all scheduled platform functionality? I heard a lot of ICO projects refuses to work on US market, and they are going to disable exchange function in their wallets for US clients. What is your solution for US crypto market, or you just closely follow the situation?

217  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-04-12] Bitcoin Has Bottomed Out, Says Pantera Capital in a Bold Call on: April 13, 2018, 06:21:20 AM
Now’s the time to get long bitcoin, a leading cryptocurrency hedge fund says. Not only is bitcoin out of the doldrums, but it’s onward and upward from here.

This according to Pantera Capital Management, a cryptocurrency hedge fund with $800 million-plus in assets under management, in a letter to investors cited on Bloomberg.
Quote
“For those who are new to Pantera who might think a fund manager like Pantera would always be saying ‘Today’s a great day to get long. I rarely have such strong conviction on timing. A wall of institutional money will drive the markets much higher,” according to Pantera’s Dan Morehead and Joey Krug in the note.

Just look at their track record. Pantera, which first gained exposure to bitcoin in 2014, has only made a trio of buy calls and a single recommendation in the past seven years, as per their note. So they’re not reckless about making these calls in the least. The latest call of a bottom comes on the heels of bitcoin breaching its pivotal 200-day moving average, which reflects the long-term trend.

A rising tide lifts all boats, and the other cryptocurrencies are trading in the green as well. The news couldn’t come too soon after the bitcoin price had been slipping and sliding since a month ago. If Pantera’s right, the storm clouds have cleared and the sun is about to shine on bitcoin investors.

Every bitcoin investor has been wondering what the bottom is during this bear market of 2018, and Pantera said the floor was $6,500. Now that it’s crossed the psychologically important 200-day moving average, and while every day may not be an up day, expect trading above that level for most of the coming year. Not only that, but it’s only a matter of time before bitcoin beats last year’s record price of nearly $20,000.

Worst is Over

Nobody is happier to hear that the worst is over for bitcoin than Pantera, which through year-end 2017 had generated returns of some 25,000% since the fund’s inception. But Pantera like many funds invested in cryptocurrencies has struggled with the bear market, especially in March.

The value of its Digital Asset Fund was nearly halved last month when it lost 45.7% of its value. It was the volatility in the bitcoin price that rocked the fund, “which was the worst in [their] model’s 27-month history,” as per Pantera’s Krug cited in last month’s investor letter.

Krug is no doubt breathing a sigh of relief as all of the crypto community can do now that this technically important level has been achieved.

Zimbabwe’s First Bitcoin ATM Becomes Country’s Only Source of ‘Real’ Currency

Zimbabwe now has a Bitcoin ATM that is providing people with another way to buy and sell Bitcoin and Litecoin. The first of its kind in the southern African country, the 2-way ATM was deployed and activated in the first week of April 2018 and follows the nation’s growing interest in cryptocurrencies.

The ATM was shipped into the country by the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Zimbabwe, Golix. It has been placed at Golix’s customer support offices located in the business district of Zimbabwe’s capital city, Harare. Currently, users can only access it during weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm but Golix has stated that it is set to move it to another location with 24-hour access.

As far as continental strides go, Zimbabwe joins a very short list of African countries that have invested in such machines at one time or another.  While a handful of countries like South Africa and Botswana reportedly deployed ATMs some years ago, at the present moment, Coin ATM Radar lists Zimbabwe’s Bitcoin ATM as one of the only two that are active on the continent. the other one is in Djibouti.

Now that is a good news. But i have never heard about Photochain.io. That is another ICO project, so Copytrack decided to conclude partnership with newly created ICO startup, which is still not yet funded during PreICO.

According to Photochain they are selling tokens with a discount of 30% now.
