Dear Bitfinex trader,

By now, you may be aware of the events of the last 48 hours, but I want to personally give you an update on what has happened and how we are proceeding as a business.

On Wednesday, April 24th, the New York Attorney General’s office filed a petition and related documents in the NY State Supreme Court in Manhattan concerning Bitfinex and Tether. We believe the petition was based on understandings and materials received by the New York Attorney General’s office both from us and from other sources. Indeed, we had, until just yesterday, been co-operating fully with the New York authorities in their inquiries into and about our business. The petition and other materials were filed without notice to us or a chance to respond to them.

The materials, which do not constitute a civil or criminal complaint are, in our view, filled with inaccuracies and false assertions. In particular, we want to assure you that the allegation that we have “lost” $850 million is categorically false. We have been advised that these amounts – whether in whole or in substantial part – are, in fact, seized and safeguarded in several jurisdictions, including Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. We are actively working to exercise our rights and remedies to cause those funds to be released. We are confident in our ability to make clear, coherent, and convincing arguments to recover those funds. And rest assured that we will vigorously challenge the false assertions made by the New York Attorney General’s office in their filing.

I am here to tell you that we are good actors in the digital token space, and we always act with you, the customer, as our first priority. We have always taken our legal obligations very seriously, and will continue to do so. We continue to co-operate with regulators worldwide as they seek to learn more about our business. But we will not allow that spirit of co-operation and goodwill to be used to threaten our customers.

In the days ahead, you may have questions that arise, and we encourage you to share them with me or other members of the senior management team. We will update you as and when we can and we will address as many of your concerns and questions as we can.

We have been humbled and encouraged by the support we have seen from our customers and wider community in the face of these allegations. We are here to assure you we’re as strong as ever, we are not going anywhere, and we’re unwaveringly committed to you.

Thanks and best regards,
Jean Louis van der Velde
CEO

Jetzt bin ich mega gespannt wie Aieve auf BTC/USD gehandelt hat mit dem Tether FUD.

Bin gespannt ob die AI super intelligent ist, oder nur ein bisschen.

Ich hatte oben schon mal gefragt. Was ist denn überhaupt so toll an der neuen Chain? Was macht sie aus? Welche Eigenschaften hat sie? Warum sollten viele auf diese Chain migrieren?

According to the documentation provided by Binance, the following were the main design goals for Binance Chain and Binance DEX (a decentralized exchange powered by Binance Chain):

    "No custody of funds: traders maintain control of their private keys and funds."
    "High performance: low latency, high throughput for a large user base, and high liquidity trading. We target to achieve 1 second block times, with 1 confirmation finality."
    "Low cost: in both fees and liquidity cost."
    "Easy user experience: as friendly as Binance.com."
    "Fair trading: minimize front-running, to the extent possible.""Evolvable: able to develop with forever-improving technology stack, architecture, and ideas."

If you are wondering what you can do on Binance Chain, here is the answer:

    "Send and receive BNB"
    "Issue new tokens"
    "Send, receive, burn/mint and freeze/unfreeze tokens"
    "Propose to create trading pairs between two different tokens"
    "Send orders to buy or sell assets through trading pairs created on the chain"

Der Krypto-Markt und insbesondere der Stable Coin Tether wurden heute Morgen böse überrascht. So wurde in der Nacht vom 25. zum 26. April (MEZ) ein Gerichtsdokument vom obersten Gerichtshof des Bundesstaates New York veröffentlicht, das es in sich hat. In der Gerichtsakte klagt die Generalstaatsanwältin Letitia James die iFinex Inc., Betreiberin der Bitfinex-Handelsplattform, und Tether Limited, Herausgeberin des Stable Coins Tether (USDT), an. Gegenstand der Klage sind 850 Millionen US-Dollar, die Bitfinex verloren respektive veruntreut haben soll. Zu den Hintergründen und den Auswirkungen auf den Krypto-Markt.

IOTA Launches Educational Platform That Will Teach You How to Code
...
The IOTA Foundation has created a brand-new educational platform that is designed for users who want to improve their knowledge about their technology. All new courses can be found on training.iota.org.  

The first course for coders
The soon-to-be-published set of courses will be useful both for students and corporate project managers. The very first course entitled IOTA Onboarding Course for Developers is designed for those who want to learn how to create applications that are based on IOTA’s Tangle. It includes basic information about the Tangle and introduces programming resources.

We’ll quote the terms and conditions of Binance DEX at some length:

“If Binance determines that you have engaged in any Prohibited Use via the Site, Binance may address such Prohibited Use through an appropriate sanction, in its sole and absolute discretion.

Such sanction may include… proposal to Binance Chain governance (Validators and Community) for confiscation of any Digital Tokens obtained in any Prohibited Use; and, terminating your access to any Services through the Site.
...
Binance and Binance Chain community reserves the right to refuse service of the Site, or to bar transactions from or to, or terminate any relationship with, any user for any reason (or for no reason) at any time.

    1. Proposal
        "It is recommended that Token Issuers first create a thread under the “Token Issuance & Listings” category in the Binance Chain Community Forum."
        "It is recommended that this public thread contain full answers to the Binance DEX Token Listing Submission Criteria..."
        "Token Issuers must initiate an on-chain Proposal Request (fee of 10 BNB) to list a trading pair for a token."
        "Token Issuers must request BNB as the quote asset for their first trading pair. For example, ABC/BNB."
        "Once the proposal request is submitted, Token Issuers must post the Proposal ID to their proposal thread in the forum as a ‘reply’."
    2. Deposit
        "Once the proposal request is sent, Token Issuers will need to deposit at least 1,000 BNB within 2 days."
        "Proposals that do not receive sufficient deposits within this timeframe will not be able to move on to the voting stage and their deposit will not be refunded."
        "If the Vote passes in Step 3 (majority 'Yes'), the 1,000 BNB deposit will be refunded."
    3. Vote
        "At least half of the voting power is required to vote 'Yes' for the proposal to be accepted."
        "Binance Chain Validators can vote for either 'Yes', 'No', 'NoWithVeto', or 'Abstain' within the time period specified in the proposal request."
        "The 1,000 BNB deposit will be refunded if the majority of Validators vote for 'Abstain'."
        "Proposals are denied if one third of the Validators vote 'NoWithVeto' or if half of the Validators vote 'No'."
        "Denied proposals will lose all the funds deposited, however this result will only occur in rare circumstances when there is relatively clear fraud, scam or spam."
    4. List
        "If the vote is passed, the Token Issuer will need to initiate a 'List' transaction on-chain (2,000 BNB fee) within the timeframe specified in the proposal, while the previous 1,000 BNB deposit will be refunded back to the proposing user."
        "The trading pairs will be live immediately after this request is completed."

und was habe ich jetzt gewonnen? was ist das denn für eine lotterie? mein ticket endet mit der nummer 7 und bin wohl bei "1-Digit Tail Numbers Drawn" dabei, steht sogar "Winning Ticket"... Nur was habe ich gewonnen, dass die Endziffer stimmt? Trostpreis? Ich blick da gerade nicht so recht durch... Gibt es irgendwo die Gewinnquoten? Da ist 6 aus 49 ja noch einfacher zu verstehen:)

Binance Launchpad announced that there are 16,666 winning tickets, held by 9,443 total winners. That puts the percentage of winning tickets at 58.38 percent, among all 28,547 tickets claimed.

The winners’ BNB balances will be deducted based on their number of winning tickets within 24 hours. If you won the lottery, please ensure that you have sufficient BNB in your account to deduct if you have a winning ticket by April 26, 2019 10:00 AM (UTC).

Matic Network has been a significant contributor to the Ethereum ecosystem having worked on implementations of Plasma MVP (Minimum Viable Plasma), WalletConnect protocol and the popular Ethereum event notification engine – Dagger.

Token trades under the name Matic Token (MATIC) and total token supply will be 10,000,000,000 MATIC what presents 32,3% of Total Token Supply.

Total tokens allocated to Binance Launchpad is 1,900,000,000 MATIC what presents 19% of total token supply. Public token sale price is 1 MATIC = 0.00263 USD (price in BNB will be determined 1 day prior to the lottery date).

Bin da in so ne Telegramm Gruppe da sagen sie der wird Mal mega werden. Deswegen fragte ich Mal lieber hier.

hier noch sein persönlicher Beitrag dazu:

Gab es beim ICO nicht verschiedene Token? EInmal den MPS und dann noch einen anderen? Und das beide unterschiedliche Eigenschaften haben?

Weiß jemand, warum Ralf Rottmann die IF verlassen hat?

Personalwechsel bei IOTA: Das deutsche Vorstandsmitglied Ralf Rottmann zieht sich aus dem Vorstand der IOTA-Stiftung zurück. Als Grund für den überraschenden Schritt nannte der Entrepreneur persönliche Gründe und den Wunsch, sich auf sein Unternehmen Grandcentrix zu konzentrieren. Ein Nachfolger von Rottmann steht noch nicht fest.

Mit Ralf Rottmann verliert die IOTA-Stiftung ein deutsches Gesicht. In einer kurzen Mitteilung erklärte Rottmann überraschend, sich mit sofortiger Wirkung aus dem Vorstand zurückzuziehen. Der Vorstand der IOTA-Stiftung lenkt die strategischen Entwicklung des Netzwerks und hat damit auch Einfluss auf die dazugehörige Kryptowährung IOTA. Rottmann nannte die Demenzerkrankung seines Vaters als eine Ursache für die Entscheidung und sein eigentliches aktuelles Unternehmen Grandcentrix. Rottmann war im März 2018 in den Vorstand bei IOTA eingetreten und wollte sich dort insbesondere bei der Organisation moderner Strukturen einbringen.

Security Token als eigene Gattung von Wertpapieren

Die BaFin stellt fest, dass Token – als digitalisierte Form von Vermögenswerten – als eine eigene Wertpapiergattung betrachtet werden müssen. Dies gelte auch, wenn es sich bei dem tokenisierten Finanzinstrument um eine Vermögensanlage handelt.

    Wird ein Finanzinstrument, das inhaltlich zwar als Vermögensanlage nach § 1 Absatz 2 VermAnlG [Vermögensanlagengesetz] ausgestaltet beziehungsweise bezeichnet ist, in Form eines frei übertragbaren und handelbaren Tokens […] digitalisiert, handelt es sich im Ergebnis nicht um eine Vermögensanlage im Sinne des VermAnlG, sondern um ein Wertpapier […] Dies zumindest dann, wenn das Instrument aktienähnliche beziehungsweise mitgliedschaftliche Rechte oder ein vermögensmäßiges Recht schuldrechtlicher Natur beinhaltet.
