Aeron team views on state of the cryptocurrency marketsWe would like to share our team’s views and opinions on the state of the cryptocurrency markets. As you remember, bitcoin made a powerful leap at the end of year 2017 and reached the all time high close to $20k. This was accompanied by a huge infusion of capital into all crypto assets, including altcoins. We are pleased to note that at such take-off time, among the huge number of altcoins, Aeron project did not go unnoticed. Aeron (ARN) token, even though at the very early stage of its deployment, reached the significant daily trading volumes. For us, this is a very positive assessment by new and large cryptocurrency market players. We believe in our business prospects, but it is important and reassuring for us to see the evaluation of professional market participants, and note that our project is evaluated as strong and promising. We are working hard to execute on our roadmap. At the moment, correction takes place on all cryptocurrency markets. It is estimated that the market has deflated by over $200 billion. According to estimates of the analysts we have been talking to, it is expected that some $500 billion may be channelled into the crypto assets, pushing bitcoin back to the $20–25k range, and that would also give significant rise to reliable altcoins. The intention of some traditional rating agencies to expand their scope and cover a number of crypto assets would also contribute to the market recovery. Our team is not experienced in trading an market evaluation, and we remain focused on the development. Yet we believe it is important to share opinions we have been hearing. https://medium.com/@aeronaero/aeron-team-views-on-state-of-the-cryptocurrency-markets-a7135dbce5ca

Bodhi Beta alive on Qtum testnet -Developer Update Jan. 26, 2018Hi Community! We have some exciting news to share with you all. We are glad to announce our first Bodhi Application beta version release on the Qtum Testnet! Packaged ExecutablesWith our alpha test feedback, we noticed there was one big barrier for you all. There was too many steps in order to get the application running! We are happy to announce that we have packaged the Bodhi Application conveniently into a single executable file for Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux operating systems. We got you covered! All you will have to do to get it up and running is run the executable file, then your web browser should automatically open up to http://localhost:5555. Removal of InvalidateOne of the important changes to know in the overall flow of our Prediction Market participation is that you can no longer invalidate Oracles. We felt this was an unnecessary extra step in the process to reach the proof of agreement. In the previous flow, if the Centralized Oracle (or Result Setter) did not set the result before the Betting End Block, there would technically be no result yet and anyone could invalidate the Centralized Oracle and start a new round of Decentralized Oracle voting in which all the results could still be voted on. Now in the beta flow, if the Centralized Oracle did not set the result before the Betting End Block, anyone can assume the role of the Centralized Oracle and set the result. This would in turn create a new Decentralized oracle (as expected), and participants could vote against the Centralized Oracle’s set result. Addition of Betting Start and Result Setting Start BlocksPreviously, the only block numbers that would be required to be filled out were the Betting End Block and Result Setting End Block. We now have added the Betting Start Block and Result Setting Start Block. This will give participants greater control in the periods that will be allowed to place bets or set the result. Invalid ResultIn addition to user defined results for an event, we have added a default “Invalid” result to every created prediction event. This result signifies the ability to make the entire event invalid as a whole. This result will be treated as another result that can be bet or voted on. A good use case for this would be say if a sporting event was cancelled due to bad weather. It wouldn’t make sense to reveal a winner when no one won, which is where the Invalid result would come into play. Leaner ContractsWe have stripped out all the unnecessary code from our contracts to make it leaner and thus made the gas transaction fees lower for you all. This should make you and your Qtum wallets happy. Intuitive UI/UX RedesignWe are listening to your feedback and are trying to make the best possible product for you all! We are in process of redesigning our Bodhi Application to make it more intuitive and user friendly. Keep the comments coming and we will keep on listening and improving! https://medium.com/@bodhitoken/bodhi-beta-alive-on-qtum-testnet-developer-update-jan-26-2018-d54d32924b9f

SKRAPS — Project ReviewEveryday when you wake up, you’re tuned to change your life in a better way, right? Investments is one of the things that should make you life easier and attractive. Most of us think about it but just few people are really starting to invest and change their lives. That’s because people are afraid of changes subconsciously. Doesn’t matter how bad are they now, when you’re offering changes, they start thinking in the following way: “What if nothing happens and my situation become even worse than it is now?”. With such mindset we aren’t notice opportunities and entire beauty of life, so we need to start from small changes and go further — that is proposition of SKRAPS. They’re offering you to become an investor starting from extremely small amount (micro investing) so it’ll not be critical to loose these small amounts and of course you’ll be happy if your investments will increase. Let’s have a look what did we found about this project in the internet. As usual, we start from ratings of the project, taken from the internet and it’s common ICO details. SKRAPS has been mentioned at 4 ICO rating websites, but grades has been placed only by two of them — ICObench and TrackICO SKRAPS Overview We’ll continue our review with project features and will try to detect real world value of it. So let’s start from features of SKRAPS, declared in their Whitepaper: Easy-to-Invest. No need to care about investment’s process manually. All you need is to link your crypto wallet to your SKRAPS account and set up desired round off amount and choose one of the offered portfolio types. For fiat transactions round off will be next full amount, for crypto it should be settled up in decimal places Low cognitive load. Customers don’t need to decide where exactly to invest or conduct any analysis of the projects. All this will be done by SKRAPS platform. All you need is to choose type portfolio (e.g. from Conservative (with low risks and returns) to Aggressive (higher risks and returns)) Create your own portfolio. If you’re good with trading, you can provide your own portfolio to the platform and make it public. If it’ll be successful, you’ll get a lot followers and SKRAPS will pay you service fee for you genius. No requirements for investors. That’s very great feature on our opinion. As cryptoworld has been built on principals of anonymity it’s great that SKRAPS doesn’t ask you from where your money, why do you want to invest and other annoying questions. All needed is signup and set your preferences. Security. 2Factor-Authentication will be implemented in the project and all members will be notified if any suspicious activity will be detected. Market Overview Micro investments market is not big and in terms of cryptocurrencies, SKRAPS will be pioneer. In terms of fiat money there’re there established and working companies providing its clients with spare change investments: Acorns. Financial company allowing individuals to round up purchases and invest the change. Founded in 2012 and for now has more than 2 million investment accounts. Stash. It’s an American fintech startup offering a mobile app with micro-investing services. It designed to simplify investing process and make it more accessible. Clink. It’s an app with a focus on making investing simple for millennials by providing micro-investments functionality. So, as you can see, cryptomarket is free now and it gives huge competitive advantage for SKRAPS to become largest micro-investing provider in the market. ICOguru opinion General conclusion After reading this you can understand that nothing revolutionary has been invented. SKRAPS just going to implement existing concept of micro-investing to the cryptocurrencies field. We think that it’s pretty nice approach to use existing knowledge base within new field, so product should be successful because, according to researches, 85% of millennials are going to invest in cryptocurrencies until the end of 2018, so there will be huge userbase and surely, they’ll want to invest their money to make more money — it’s general desire for anyone in the world. About MVP For now, project doesn’t have an MVP released and first closed alpha will be announced in March’18 (for whitelisted members). That’s not good, but according to their roadmap, public release will be very and in June’18 everyone will have an access to the platform. About token Tokens used here as an instrument of operational liquidity and providing an ability to the customer not to link their wallets to the platform, but simply buy this tokens to participate. So, ICOguru recommends this project not in terms of speculative investments but as an entire product with an attractive opportunities to take of your future using small amounts for daily investments. You’ll even not notice these investments, but after 5–10 years you’ll be happy that you did it, when you’ll see your current balance. Think about it like tips for yourself. Even with conservative portfolio, you’ll be able to make 5–10% annually. So each cup of coffee will make you rich in future!  https://steemit.com/skraps/@trungbitcoin2017/skraps-project-review

Dubai Embraces Blockchain, как Unlock Blockchain Conference Embraces Datum  Прогрессивные экономики обычно показывают путь вперед для более консервативных условий. Те, которые приспосабливаются к обстоятельствам, процветают, а соседи смотрят с завистью. Когда дело доходит до растущей экономики блокхейнов, лишь немногие страны продемонстрировали уровень усыновления на уровне Объединенных Арабских Эмиратов, в первую очередь в Эмирате Дубая. Сфокусировавшись на выставке Expo 2020, правительство сформировало офис Smart Dubai, отвечающий за внедрение блокчейнов во всех аспектах повседневной жизни. Blockchain и криптовыделения не упоминаются в контексте будущей реализации, они являются повседневными условиями. От въезда в страну (защита личности), автоматизированной обработки виз и проживания (проверки документов) и даже оплаты общественного транспорта с предстоящими криптовыми валютами e-Dirham / emCash темпы внедрения блоксхей беспрецедентны. https://blog.datum.org/dubai-embraces-blockchain-as-unlock-blockchain-conference-embraces-datum-d9dc0802c13b |

Dubai Embraces Blockchain, as Unlock Blockchain Conference Embraces DatumProgressive economies typically show the way forward for more conservative environments. Those that adjust to the circumstances thrive, while neighbors watch with envy. When it comes to the rising blockchain economy, few countries have shown the rate of adoption on the level of United Arab Emirates, most notably the Emirate of Dubai. With the focus on Expo 2020, the government formed Smart Dubai office — in charge of implementing blockchain in all aspects of every day life. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies aren’t mentioned in the context of future implementation, they’re everyday terms. From entering the country (identity protection), to automated visa and residence processing (document verification) and even paying the public transport with upcoming e-Dirham / emCash cryptocurrencies, the pace of blockchain adoption is unprecedented. https://blog.datum.org/dubai-embraces-blockchain-as-unlock-blockchain-conference-embraces-datum-d9dc0802c13b

Metaverse and CPChain To Collaborate On R&D and Promotion of Blockchain Architecture  We are pleased to announce that Metaverse has officially partnered with CPChain on the research, development and promotion of blockchain architecture. Moving forward, both parties will pool their resources to encourage the development and implementation of blockchain applications. Combining blockchain technology with the Internet of Things (IoT), CPChain led the call for a new generation of IoT technology. To that end, CPChain has built a basic data platform targeted at IoT systems that aims to remodel IoT’s infrastructure through the integration of distributed storage, encryption algorithms and blockchain technology. Based on data storage and computation as well as consensus protocols, CPChain leverages several core technologies including parallel distributed computing, storage architecture, double-layered consensus mechanisms and lightweight sidechain consensus protocols to resolve the three major challenges facing IoT adoption: high barriers to entry, privacy issues and the lack of clear value propositions. CPChain has successfully completed R&D of its hybrid double-layer consensus protocol and two other key technical components: distributed data storage and computation. The project has now entered a stage of large-scale implementation. As a strategic partner, CPChain has built a basic data platform targeted at IoT systems by reshaping its IoT infrastructure to provide a comprehensive solution for data acquisition, storage, sharing and application, maximizing the value of data obtained from IoT sources. It is strongly aligned with Metaverse’s vision of working towards an Internet of Value, and will contribute a wealth of data to advance Metaverse’s efforts to expand the digital market. At the same time, Metaverse will provide CPChain with efficient, convenient data digitization and asset transfer capabilities, increasing transaction security and individual privacy. We believe that this partnership will inject fresh vitality into Metaverse’s ecosystem through the enhancement of Metaverse’s digital identity system and other infrastructure services. https://medium.com/@mvs_org/metaverse-and-cpchain-to-collaborate-on-r-d-and-promotion-of-blockchain-architecture-a5b0352af8fc |

Mission: to crack DNAAt the 2015 Economic Davos Forum in Davos a professor of the European Bioinformatics Institute Nick Goldman announced a competition: the one who cracks a DNA code will understand the way to get 1 bitcoin as a reward. The challenge was accepted. A PhD student Sander Wuyts and his small team did what they first believed to be impossible. To increase the probability of solving the problem, they even held a “small hackathon”. In the initial data there was a description on how to claim the bitcoin, a drawing by James Joyce, the logo of the European Bioinformatics Institute, and few other things. The winner says that after his deed his consciousness has changed, and new horizons for research have opened. The received prize Sander Wuyts will use to fund his scientific work, and, of course, to reward those who helped him to crack the code. It’s funny that at the time of the challenge`s announcement the cost of one coin was at the level of 329 US dollars, and the prize was received already at the rate of 11 000 USD. https://medium.com/@_Miningnow/mission-to-crack-dna-99d9d8509871
