Tap Coin Contribution RecapBlock #4339820 kicked off a great Crowdsale for the Tap Project and the Tap Coin. With close to 600 transactions, approximately 1200 ETH, was contributed to the project and the vision of the Tap Coin. With that being said the team would like to thank all those that were able to support the project in the foreground and behind the scenes. We know that a long journey lays ahead and the team is ready to take on any obstacles that may come. As history states, with change and disruption comes resistance, and that is to be expected. Contribution RecapOn October 5th we launched the early contribution period which gave supports the ability to receive a 30% bonus before our ICO. A week later we completed our early contribution period and surpassed 50% of our soft cap goal. We released our Conceptual Alpha and received an amazing response and feedback.  Users were able to create an account, view games on the marketplace, add games to their favorites, and most importantly test out the functionality of the Tap Coin. This allowed users to go into the selected games in the marketplace and input the amount of Premium or Earned Currency they have in those games, showing the Tap Coin valued outcome. A few days prior to the end of our initial contribution period, we reached our 400K soft cap and the funds were unlocked for the project. Upon doing so the community requested a month long extension to use the funds for marketing and put the project on the map. We implemented the Tap Project Improvement Plan and asked the community if they had any feedback in regards to the contribution period. We brought all feedback to the team and had lengthy meetings and discussions about them. As a result, we lowered the hardcap and implemented a month extension with a waterfall bonus structure. With the month extension we wanted to ensure that those who contributed during the early contribution period were compensated for their early support and belief in the project. With that, we initiated a manual 50% retroactive bonus for those supporters, which was well received by the community. During our ICO the Ethereum Network became bogged down and congested due to a recent product launch on the network. Thus we implemented an increased gas price of 50Wei. Rise in Ethereum Price Throughout our ICO we were faced with one major change, the price of Ethereum. When we first started our early contribution, ETH/USD pricing was approximately $300. However, during our contribution period, the crypto community saw ETH rise as high as $1600 within 2 months. Seeing as our price was fixed to ETH, the TTT to ETH ratio remained consistant throughout despite the rise in ETH pricing. Towards the end of our contribution we saw our ETH contributions decrease, but our USD value remained consistent. https://medium.com/@Tap_Coin/tap-coin-contribution-recap-69c4901830a7

Front Line Technology: BANKEX Bounty Service The rising popularity of the multiple ICO has led to the creation of the new form of marketing. Anyone who understands English and is able to communicate in it on the Internet without difficulty can earn tokens of a company that runs ICO. The most important thing for the participants is that they do not need to invest their own money. People called it a “bounty campaign.” As a company, which has already closed its Token Sale, we know a lot about bounty campaigns, especially the problems faced by both the participants and the admins. The power of blockchain, BANKEX experience and the talent of the tech team led to the creation of the BANKEX Bounty Service. https://blog.bankex.org/front-line-technology-bankex-bounty-service-547590ca1f73 |

Dev Update #5 — More Features in Voise Platform in 2018Happy new year our beloved community! 2017 will always be a special year for Team Voise, thanks to your committed support in the development of our blockchain-powered decentralized music streaming platform. We signed important strategic partnerships, launched a beta platform, and our VOISE token got listed on many leading crypto exchanges. We could do all only because of your continued support and trust in our ambitions. Mobile App, Anti-Piracy System in 2018’s Bucket ListOur roadmap for the year 2018 is prepared. We are already working with beta testers to improve the functionality of our platform, which is scheduled to be finished by the end of January, 2018. This will further assist us in designing responsive versions of Voise platform for iOS and Android devices. Yes! You heard it right. Now you’ll be able to listen to your favorite artists right from the comfort of your smartphone. Team Voise plans to release the Voise mobile application by the end of March, 2018. We have already signed up more than 600 artists for the beta launch of our mobile apps. But wait! There is more. We’re glad to announce that we are also adding an anti-piracy system to our platform. In the previous version, there was a risk of celebrity impersonations as everybody could upload their choice of music to the Voise platform. An anti-piracy system is thus introduce to tackle the problem. It allows only verified artists to upload music. One of the methods to attain “verified” status, is to post about Voise on their official social media channels. New Advertising Campaign, Exchange Partnerships & MoreIt will be too early to reveal all the details, but our team can ensure that we are working towards building a super-solid advertising campaign for Voise, the goal of which is to attract a minimum of 3.5 million users. More about this will be updated in our future Medium posts. Stay tuned. We are also working actively towards listing VOISE tokens on one of the top 5 exchanges listed on CoinMarketCap.com during January, 2018. VOISE trading has already been started on Cryptopia,Bit-z, HitBtc, CoinExchange and LiveCoin. Our belief in sticking to our original roadmap, and the community’s growing trust in us has taken our value to a tropospheric level. It can be very well observed via our token’s bullish performance in the latest intraday outcomes. As you can notice, we have almost doubled our market cap (and our habit for providing timely and concrete developments could boost VOISE token’s value even more). It proves people are investing in VOISE wholeheartedly; they believe in our concept. https://medium.com/@voisecom/dev-update-5-more-features-in-voise-platform-in-2018-8cff7432fb2e

34C3 SummaryAs was previously announced, Jonas Ostman and I (Jeremy Rand) represented Namecoin at 34C3 in Leipzig, Germany. This was our first Congress, so we didn’t quite know what to expect, but we were pretty confident that it would be awesome. We were not disappointed. The CCC community is well-known for being friendly and welcoming to newcomers, and we greatly enjoyed talking to everyone there. Namecoin gave 3 talks, all of which were hosted by the Monero Assembly and the Chaos West Stage. I expect 2 of those talks to have videos posted sometime later this month. Unfortunately, 1 of the talks suffered an audio issue in the recording, so it won’t have a video posted (but I will post the slides of that talk, as well as the other talks’ slides). The talks’ titles are: Namecoin as a Decentralized Alternative to Certificate Authorities for TLS Namecoin for Tor Onion Service Naming (And Other Darknets) (No video will be posted due to audio recording technical issues) A Blueprint for Making Namecoin Anonymous As usual for conferences that we attend, we engaged in a large number of conversations with other attendees. Also as usual, I won’t be publicly disclosing the content of those conversations, because I want people to be able to talk to me at conferences without worrying that off-the-cuff comments will be broadcast to the public. That said, I can say that a lot of very promising discussions happened regarding future collaboration with allied projects, and we’ll make any relevant announcements when/if such collaborations are formalized. https://www.namecoin.org/2018/01/03/34c3-summary.html

Why UTEMIS Represents an Inflection Point in the Ethereum Project – Part 1Short answer: because UTEMIS creates a single economic space. Think about e-commerce giants in the U.S., or China or Japan. When they started and had to get customers, there were challenges that they never had to face. For instance, in the entire U.S. there is the same currency, the dollar, and the same economic policy, and the same inflation, etc. the same happens in China and the same happens in Japan. But note that in Latin America, all these giants are actually seriously struggling to make their business successful. Some have given up; some others have been actually lagging there for decades. The utility of the UTEMIS Token is new and, to our knowledge, is really new to the world. Its main utility is not what it does, but what it enables. It enables the creation of a single Latin American market. Regardless of what the inflation, economic policy, etc. is in any given Latin American country, in the UTEMIS platform, with the UTEMIS Token, the economics are the same for everyone. Recently, Vitalik Buterin, mentioned on Twitter that Cryptocurrencies should aim to do something meaningful for society. The UTEMIS Token, for the first time ever, gives millions of people in Latin America an opportunity to trade like if they all are in a level playing field economy. They never had something like that before. It’s a new utility for a new world. https://steemit.com/utemis/@utemis/why-utemis-represents-an-inflection-point-in-the-ethereum-project-part-1

A message from Artur Goulão, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at UTRUST2017 has been an incredible year for the development and consolidation of the blockchain landscape and, if you are reading this, it probably means that you are fortunate enough to join us on this unbelievable journey. Since the beginning, our vision for UTRUST has been crystal clear — to create a reliable platform that is capable of processing crypto-to-fiat payments efficiently. UTRUST will combine the speed and security of blockchain technology with the protection and credibility of the more traditional payment systems. Countless projects have tried to claim the title of “PayPal of Cryptocurrencies” without even having the most basic understanding of the fundamentals that are key to succeeding in the online payment industry. In my previous experience as a CTO for a successful online payment processor, I realized the importance of not only hiring strong developers but the significance in having a team who can grasp the intricate dynamics in the implementation of online payments. One of the major challenges faced by our industry is that both, centralized and decentralized payments, require a third-party to deal with the mutual trust issue that surrounds the relationship between online merchants and their consumers. Moreover, the vast majority of existing online merchants do not understand cryptocurrencies and are reluctant to use them due to their inherent volatility or bad reputation. The crypto payment solutions in existence, and even those currently being developed are nothing more than a wire system, an enhanced Western Union if you wish. While this model has been relatively successful for personal (peer-to-peer) transfers, it is not suitable for commercial transactions between strangers. As a Payment Professional, I often struggle to understand the business model that some of our “competitors” have decided to pursue. All of them claim to be the “PayPal of Cryptocurrencies”, but in fact are more comparable to Western Union, as they fail to solve the very problems that UTRUST aims to work out to really make blockchain payments feasible. https://medium.com/@UTRUST/a-message-from-artur-goul%C3%A3o-chief-technology-officer-cto-at-utrust-ecb243e45bab

Quick Overview of Consensus ModelsA lot of technologists seem to think that the big divide is between proof-of-work and proof-of-stake. And then they encounter creatures like Ripple, BitShares or AlgoRand and get confused. But the PoS/PoW only applies to eventual/asynchronous/non-finite (slow) consensus models, and other methods are in use for synchronous/finite (fast) models; in fact PoS is used as the basis for voting in quite a few fast consensus models, making it all more confusing. To try to make sense of it all, we had a short presentation about consensus models in Kik TLV office. https://medium.com/kin-contributors/quick-overview-of-consensus-models-53640cae32a1

Coins vs. Tokens: Why the SEC Decision is a Step in the Right DirectionThe SEC’s announcement that the DAO issued securities via its token is a step in the right direction. It will lead US regulators to better understand the cryptosphere and how to accurately categorize the different structures and activities that take place here. To come out against the DAO before other entities reflects a lack of understanding of what a token is — or could be — but serves as the beginning of their education into the technical differences between a coin and a token, because that’s what this will come down to ladies and gentlemen, coins vs. tokens. Of course lack of proper auditing and launch procedures, as well as how the DAO token was structured, made them low hanging fruit for regulators. https://medium.com/@SingularDTV/coins-vs-tokens-why-the-sec-decision-is-a-step-in-the-right-direction-dca7bc5e2813

Bounty — your first step into the cryptoworldhttps://medium.com/@arbidexpromo/bounty-your-first-step-into-the-cryptoworld-2bcc3b663ac3Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology boomed in 2017: the technology that was developing for quite a long time now is coming to mass consumption and is being deployed in many apps, services and inventions. The cryptocurrency market has been growing exponentially too attracting millions on new investors who got into the loop. Still, the market is rather complicated to enter and buying coins independently may become a tedious endeavour. As a result we get a rather high input threshold for newbies. Moreover, crypto-world is extremely volatile and bears great risks in addition to attractive investment opportunities. However, this doesn’t scare off the enthusiasts striving to buy some crypto, and their number is growing. Besides direct investment by means of buying crypto with fiat money, there are hundreds of other ways to get coins. Bounty campaigns is one of them. Every project that is launching an ICO is having its Bounty campaign. Basically, it is remuneration for participants for promoting the project. Participants do all sorts of things — advertising, social media marketing, generating content, translating, etc. ICO projects would normally pay in their tokens that a participant can either sell at the exchange or keep on their wallets waiting for project development and token price increase. An important thing here is that the majority of bounties won’t require significant effort on your part, and in fact are pretty reasonable option to get to know the crypto-market and get your first token.
