Could the Fishbank Game be a Safe Shelter for Crypto Assets during Storm?This is a submitted sponsored story. CCN urges readers to conduct their own research with due diligence into the company, product or service mentioned in the content below. As the number of ICOs collected millions of dollars previous year had gone to develop their products it became quite obvious that the only practical implementation of blockchain technology nowadays is… collecting digital kittens.  https://www.ccn.com/could-the-fishbank-game-be-a-safe-shelter-for-crypto-assets-during-storm/

Kyber Network Enters Partnership with Coinduck to Popularize Cryptopayments in Korea
Fresh from the success of our recent Developer’s Competition in Seoul, we are back at it again and have secured a partnership with Coinduck, the world’s first Ethereum payment service! Based in Korea and developed by Chain Partners (the country’s leading blockchain company builder), Coinduck is on a mission to expand the possibilities of cryptopayments in everyday transactions. The service is elegantly simple: merchants, both online and offline, provide their wallet addresses and customers send the payable amount instantly calculated in Ether at a live exchange rate. The typical processing time for such transactions is five minutes, posing an inconvenience to both merchant and customer. With Coinduck’s on-chain, instant transaction technology and deep learning algorithm, a payment can be completed within five seconds. The service is compatible with all mobile wallets in Korea and all exchanges worldwide, ensuring easy access for holders of Ether. Kyber Network will integrate its token conversion protocol with Coinduck’s service, diversifying the accepted means of payment from Ether only to all ERC-20 tokens (including KNC). This means that when a customer makes a payment in an ERC-20 token, say REQ, Kyber Network’s protocol will promptly convert the REQ into Ether at the live market exchange rate, after which Coinduck will convert the Ether into South Korean Won and send it to the merchant. All in a matter of seconds. As Kyber Network’s liquidity grows, even more cryptopayment options will become available to the public. Further, through this partnership, Kyber Network will gain access to off-line businesses, an important group of clients as blockchain adoption becomes more and more of a reality. We are delighted to add Coinduck to our growing list of distinguished partners and are honored to power the linkage between the crypto space and fiat space in Korea, where interest in cryptocurrencies has never been stronger. https://blog.kyber.network/kyber-network-enters-partnership-with-coinduck-to-popularize-cryptopayments-in-korea-a992134494da

Why 1 BTC = $1M USD The market cap of cryptocurrencies dropped almost 50% from ~$820B to ~$420B in the last month. This is not the first time cryptocurrencies have experienced such significant losses (though it’s one of the fastest) and it certainly won’t be the last. Crypto-cynics and unfriendly media were jubilant in their choruses of “I told ya so”. There was much hand-wringing and regret expressed by some investors, especially those who only recently acquired their positions, who doubtless sold during the plunge. Yet, throughout, there remained a population of crypto holders curiously unfazed by the debacle and the clamoring. These investors call themselves “hodlers”. They have held cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin for extended periods, some for many years, and they have weathered downturns like this before. Why did they buy crypto so early? How have they remained so serene when so many others in the market are panicking? Are they crazy? Or is blockchain a religion for them? The answer is simple: hodlers recognize the true potential of blockchains and this allows them to adopt the long-view on their cryptocurrency holdings. Like value investors, short-term pullbacks in price mean little to them. Rather they relish when prices collapse because it lets them acquire more coins, cheaply. In this article, I will provide a historical analogy for blockchains which will help you adopt the long-view on cryptocurrencies. https://blog.unchained-capital.com/stop-comparing-bitcoin-to-the-internet-b6cb995e8364 |

REALISTO Weekly Update #3 Exchange Listing Under Way Many of you have been asking why we are not listed on an exchange yet. Rest assured, we are in the process of securing listings with several exchanges. Most of the larger exchanges charge listing fees of more than 20 BTC (or 200 to 500 K US $), just to get with them. Understandably, we’d rather be spending this kind of money on platform development. However, many of the well-run and stable exchanges that don’t charge an arm and a leg are so swamped with new applicants that they are seriously busy. As a result, theses exchanges have stopped taking on new token listings until sometime in February. Also, there are several exchanges which do not accept security tokens. Despite all these of these obstructions, we are indeed confident to be able to secure one or more listing by the middle of February. As already mentioned above, we are in intense negotiations with several exchanges that have taken an interest in our unique business model and, consequently, in our token. We believe that patient negotiation will give our investors a lot more value than panic-splurging on overpriced listings. Platform Development Update We now have an ambitious but very much do-able project plan for platform development. We — and the tech people we work with — estimate that in 45 days (starting today) we should be able to roll out a functioning BETA. The beginning of February sees a comprehensive kick-off workshop to get things rolling in earnest. Naturally we’ll keep you posted as to how development is progressing. Finances Anyone invested (or even mildly interested) in crypto has been following the wild market antics of recent. Bitcoin’s remarkable dive has sent everyone scrambling, safe maybe for those who are in for the long haul anyway. But perception of crypto as a passing bubble is, in our estimation, extremely shortsighted: token offers based on economically feasible and forward-thinking business models will prevail. As to the drastic BTC value loss in recent weeks, this might to a large extent be due to the fact that “old economy” has struck back: stock-exchange listed BTC futures contracts were about to be settled for the first time when it became clear that players have been massively building short positions. We’ve all seen it before, only this time they did it with BTC. As to REALISTO’s financial strategy: we have been selling off 100 ETH at 1,150 US $ to kick-start platform development. We will, by-and-by, sell more of the crypto when markets have calmed down — and only in quantities as immediately needed for platform development. Cleaning House: Token Burning As previously announced, we have burned excess tokens. You may check on process and protocol by clicking on the links below. Total token supply is now at 3,629,667.586 REA, with 1.629.667 in circulation. https://medium.com/@Realisto/realisto-weekly-update-3-ec59bb0c568a |

Blockchain Basics 3Blockchain is a protocol of trustThe economic reality and tomorrow’s societyPURA Vida everyone – today’s entry marks the third and last part of our mini-series, PURA Blockchain Basics! We all know that safety is vital for trust and reliability in any venture. Slow transaction times in the blockchain and other present ailments are not going to stop the progress of blockchain technology. Such stumbling blocks are part of every new development. The founders of the Blockchain Research Institute of Toronto, Don Tapscott and his son Alex, have rightly alerted to the disruptive potential of blockchain technology with their book “Blockchain Revolution“. The two authors call blockchain “the protocol of trust”. In line with this, trust and safety are exactly the qualities that will bring digital business models and transactions of all kinds to the next level. Dozens of experts around the world are working on a variety of projects to deliver the promise of blockchain into economic and societal reality. Entering into a new phase of the internet with blockchain technologyHowever, blockchain is not just another technology that is going to optimize processes and safety in the background. Blockchain will ring in a completely new phase of internet development. The technology is going to make transactions faster, easier and more secure. Also, it will create confidence as the decisive factor in digital transactions. It will also develop democracy regarding the access to digital solutions. The “world machine” that is created by the internet of things has found a safe operating mode. It is advancing to an important decision-making factor for B2B and B2C customers. It is not just a unique selling proposition, but a commodity. Those who cannot realize the advantages of blockchain technology for their clients will have troubles conducting business. Consumers and organizations are going to presume that companies choose the safest, most transparent and direct technologies to process transactions. Blockchain technology presents us with great opportunities to create new foundations for the world of business. Let us organize the fair reallocation of resources all over the world for the common good. https://pura.one/blockchain-basics-trust-safety-pura/

The 20th week net transactional revenue share has been paidYesterday (17th of January, 2018), Bankera paid its twentieth net transactional revenue share to Bankera token holders. Last week, SpectroCoin generated a net transactional revenue of 384,286.76 EUR. 20% of that was distributed among Bankera token holders. This totaled to 76,857.35 EUR or 102.4710047 ETH (given the current exchange rate of 750.04 euros for 1 ether). The total number of tokens outstanding includes 4,778,855,939 BNK of the pre-ICO and ICO BNK tokens, and 452,829,891 BNK tokens that were distributed by the end of last week as referral commission bonuses, bounties (for translations, promotion, etc.) and as compensation for some of the advisors. The 452,829,891 BNK tokens were issued from the tokens allocated for management and advisors. There were 5,231,685,830 BNK tokens issued in total. Since the net transactional revenue share is only allocated to issued tokens (not the total possible supply in the long-run), each BNK holder has been allocated 0.0000000195866 ETH (0.0000146907 EUR) per Banker. This revenue share is equal to 0.000793 EUR per 1 BNK of annualized return. This is equal to a 7.93% annualized return given the pre-ICO price of 0.01 EUR, 4.59% annualized return given the initial ICO price of 0.017 EUR, 4.33% given the ICO price of 0.018 EUR and 4.10% given the current ICO price of 0.019 EUR. It is also worth mentioning that the SpectroCoin community has grown by 39,247 new users during the last week, from 639,074 to 678,321, which led to more transactions and a higher net transactional revenue. There are still tokens left, so don’t miss out the opportunity and get your own Bankers (BNK) on SpectroCoin! https://blog.bankera.com/2018/01/18/the-20th-week-net-transactional-revenue-share-has-been-paid/
