Jetzt drehen wir uns ein bisschen im Kreis. Das war im Prinzip meine Ausgangsfrage. So wie ich es verstanden habe, ja, auch wenn es nichts schriftliches gibt, wegen der damalig fehlenden Regulatorik. Jedoch ist der Kern meiner Frage - wer die Interessen der Token-Holder vertritt - noch nicht so richtig beantwortet worden.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Is it planned to integrate VITE with Ledger or Trezor hardware wallet? I personally would prefer Ledger first.

Data from Bitnodes shows that the number of reachable nodes on the bitcoin blockchain fell 18.98 percent in 2018 from 11,845 to 9,597. In the same period, the number of unreachable nodes also fell 33 percent from 98,000 to 65,500. To understand the significance of the data, it is helpful to establish the functions of reachable and unreachable nodes.

Former US congressman, Ron Paul, has been bashing the Federal Reserve again after it raised interest rates a quarter of a point. The renowned Bitcoin fan, called for the Fed’s abolition, saying that the free market should dictate interest rates.

@KingScopio:  Ausnahmsweise habe ich mal kurz den Ignore von dir ausgesetzt. Der Artikel schreibt von Krypto Assets im Sinne von Bitcoin und Co. Bitcoin wurde vermutlich in den Titel genommen um mehr Anziehungskraft zu haben.  Es ist auch die Rede von Kryptoassets zusammen mit der Tokenisierung.

According to a report from CoinDesk Korea on Friday, the Prosecutors’ Office of the southern district of Seoul has indicted three senior staff members, including founder Song Chi-Hyung, on charges of fraud.
The executives are alleged to have made fraudulent transactions between September to December of last year, using a fake corporate account to make bogus orders worth 254 trillion won (or $226.2 billion) to inflate trading volume figures and attract more customers to the exchange.

„Krypto-Assets haben Potenzial“. So leiten die Autoren ihren neuen Bericht über die Institutionalisierung von Krypto-Wertanlagen ein. Die Studie „Institutionalization of cryptoassets“ nimmt verschiedene Vektoren und Hürden für eine fortschreitende Adaption von Krypto-Assets in den Blick. Wie der Name verrät, steht dabei der bevorstehende Markteintritt institutioneller Investoren im Fokus der Betrachtung.

While volume on centralized exchanges is down as a whole, Bitcoin OTC (over-the-counter) markets have seen a surge in buyers leading to a shortage of sellers, according to the latest data from Diar. This may suggest that institutional investors are quietly stocking up on bitcoin while looking to keep prices low for the time being.

The Blockchain Transparency Institute has released its December Exchange Volumes Report, delving deeper than ever before into suspected wash trading. The conclusions paint a rather damning picture. Only 2 of CoinMarketCap’s top 25 BTC pairs aren’t massively inflating actual volume.

Thanks, I am going to set up a full node in the next days. Which are the minimum requirements for the node? Could not find any information in the wiki. I think that information should be added in the installation tutorial.

Two questions regarding full node:

My node was synchronizing very quickly up to block 967000. From then on it went very very slowly. I have run the node one day now and only 1/3 of the chain has been synchronized so far. There are no limitations from the hardware site so I am wondering what could cause the problem?

My node is not showing up here. Can it be that only fully synchronized nodes are displayed?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, my questions are outdated. I fixed all issues. Now my full node is fully synchronized, runs smoothly and appears in the nodes list of stats.vite.net. I am just waiting for the first mining reward now 

Interessant mit den Dividenden. Bei 30% Anteil dürfte die Firma aber nicht SAP sein, sonst sind es eher 0,3%   Natürlich wäre unter so einer Firma auch die Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten und Gewinn größer. Aber so richtig verstanden habe ich es noch nicht. Sollte es übernommen werden, dann würde Modum sicherlich nicht mehr selbstständig bleiben sondern komplett integriert werden, sodas man gar nicht mehr abwägen kann wie groß der Anteil am Unternehmen ist. Und ist es mit einem Anteil an Kaufbetrag?

Waves Surges into Top 20 Coins as Wider Crypto Market Stumbles
Since the end of November, the Waves coin (WAVES) has bucked a market trend and risen in price by over 150%. The cryptocurrency has not only risen to a price, at the time of writing, of $2.49 per coin but as bitcoin price falls, WAVES value against bitcoin (BTC) is also growing.

Oh boy, for the money Savedroid has taken through the ICO, they should have to have a genius product, as they did not start development on the greenfield either. But they do not. Ergo, I do not think it's going to happen anymore. It is best to charge off your investment.

That's not news. Should there be a global economic downturn, the central bank would be naked, as they are still printing a lot of money, even though they have begun to reduce them and raise interest rates like the Fed. But for a "boom" phase, the interest rates are way too low to have effective tools in a crash. Should a crash occur it will be worse than 2008 and 2009 and cryptocurrencies will experience a new boom.

For developing and emerging countries like the Ukraine, the technology is perfect for counteracting corruption and mismanagement. That is why we will see more such news in the future. However, it is often overlooked that such countries then work with permissioned blockchains such as the Hyperledger software collection and not with any of the public ones such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Naja, da wäre ich mir nicht so sicher. Ein Verkauf kann auch ohne Zustimmung der Token-Holder erfolgen wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe. Die Tokenholder werden mit 20% am Verkaufswert beteiligt (hatte Marc vor einiger Zeit auf einer Frage hier bestätigt). Das hieße im Grund, dass die Token-Holder auch nur 20% der Stimmrechtsanteile haben oder sehe ich das falsch?

Great, now almost all my browser apps are available on firefox so I am not far away to drop data-munching Chrome browser.


Hard to say. The crypto market is not predictable. It depends on so many different factors. However the Waves road map looks good. Also we will see the Vostok ICO and the free  distribution of a part to Waves holder which will cause in a buy pressure. So I think the Waves price will be higher on 31th December 2019 as it will be on 31th December 2018

President Donald J. Trump has announced that he will be naming Mick Mulvaney as the new acting White House Chief of Staff. Mulvaney is a well-known Bitcoin proponent and has previously expressed his support of blockchain technology.

I had the same situation some time ago. But my both seeds worked fine after importing them into trinity wallet. Are both of your seeds exactly 81 characters long? How long have you not logged in? If you use trinity wallet you do not need snapshot transition or sync manually. It happens all automatically.
