Enjin Coin is celebrating a colossal win in the fiercely competitive world of gaming cryptocurrencies, having announced a partnership with the most significant game development platform in the world, Unity.

Some time ago, attention of IT investors, business angels and venture capital firms was attracted to DeskBell project for hotel business, which is on ICO now. According to many, its idea is new and has no analogues at the tourist market, and therefore the chances of start-up are quite high for the large-scale development in the future. Then it follows a logical question: Will it be possible to make DeskBell a huge “Unicorn” which could be into a line with the world renowned giants??

We live in the era of rapid, meteoric, sometimes lightning-fast development of modern information technologies. They penetrate into all spheres of life and can be implemented absolutely in any field of activity. Science, education, trade, media, art, culture, construction, etc. can no longer be imagined without technological innovations. If we talk about tourism, nowadays information imbalance can be obviously seemed in this field: existing only in some of the hotels their own local mobile services clearly remain below on functionality and does not correspond to the scale of the global Internet system in the booking area, tours organization and customers’ response. The hotel business is vitally interested in pioneers who are ready to raise this hard, but very fat layer. And this step has already been made by developers of the unique mobile application DeskBell.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) popularly known as garbage is considered a waste and people often think of it as futile but today we are here to tell you that it is the most profitable thing out there. So why is it so useful? It is because “energy” the power that the whole world is running behind, can be produced by using the municipal solid waste. Yes you heard that right. Let us see how we can do that.

Today waste is a gargantuan problem for the world. However our continuous efforts have led to the development of a way to convert this waste into a useful resource. There are many items around us that can generate heat, and surprisingly waste products are one of them. Heat generated from waste creates electric power which is an asset to the earth because it can eliminate elements that ruin the ozone layer.

Globally the amount of solid waste generated is 1.3 billion tonnes per year. There is so much garbage generated daily and many countries are simply wasting it by burning it. However as mentioned before this waste can be used to generate electric power. One such method of electricity generation from waste is by using biogas. Biogas is a gas that is produced from organic matter such as food waste, animal waste etc. Biogas is formed by breaking down this organic matter biologically.

ZenCash Special Interview with Rolf by CryptoTalk.News
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm1tMEGnMUg

ZenCash is growing in popularity, especially with privacy coins on the rise.  In this special interview with Rolf of ZenCash . Thurlow Weed (aka Steve Nelson Jr) gets you the down low on ZenCash, how they operate, and what's coming in 2018.

https://blog.ethlend.io/how-borrowers-use-leverage-in-cryptos-4f5cc3856739
One of the most intriguing use-cases for the borrowers on ETHLend is to “Leverage”. Leverage is an investment strategy in which the trader or investor is using borrowed capital to increase the potential return on investment. Leveraging is quite typical on the traditional bond or stock market.

When playing the stock market, the investor purchases for example Facebook Inc. shares. Next, the investor pledges these shares to get more capital by paying a small interest (due to the fact that the loan is backed by the underlying shares). With the newly borrowed capital, the investor then purchases more Facebook Inc. shares and the position of the owned shared is more than the invested capital (i.e. owning more shares than the initial starting capital would allow).

The above scenario could be repeated until the point that the investor does not have sufficient amount of shares to pledge then to borrow. Next the investor would wait for substantial value appreciation and close the stock positions and finally close the loan position, whereas the investor would receive back the original shares. By using such leveraging, the investor could receive 200–400% more profit compared to merely holding the original shares.

What makes Datarius stand out from the similar projects?



First and foremost, the Datarius project was intended as a unique social fintech project. What does it mean? We decided to provide our users with almost full freedom of action and to completely remove the team core from the main project’s functions, reserving only the platform technical support, a wide range of additional services and marketing. This step paves the way for minimizing the cost of all services. The cost of all services will be build by the users independently, thanks to a convenient designer. Almost at any step, absolutely any user will be able to order any additional service provided directly by the Datarius Cryptobank team or by accredited third-party services.

Datarius is the only cryptoproject that integrates such social functions as Trust Limit and Trust Management. Any user can provide access to a certain amount of funds at one time to a specific user or a group of users. The users will no longer need to constantly log into their accounts to make small similar transactions.

Datarius is the first project aimed at implementing the most frequently used and popular functionality in a “single window” mode. We implement the best classical solutions, remove the drawbacks, make it available from any nook of the world, socialize and get the product, which most relevant to the market requirements and needs.

How to…

Create a photo gallery website with DADI
In this article we’re going to look at how you can construct a photo gallery using DADI Web Services, specifically Web, API, and CDN. First we’ll create each of the DADI services using the command line interface tool. After that we’ll grab some sample images, store them in the CDN, add them to our database via API, and then create a frontend in Web.

For this project I’m going to be working in a single directory called “gallery” with a subdirectory for each of the services, which the DADI CLI tool will create for us.

Xaurum team on recent events on crypto markets

https://medium.com/@xaurumofficial/xaurum-team-on-recent-events-on-crypto-markets-f7b9148f668c

This is reaction of Xaurum leaders (Gasper Kenda, Jure Ristic, Domen Vidergar and Sidney Rodrigues) on recent events on crypto markets. You can find Portuguese translation below.

Recent events in the crypto markets got extensive world media attention. First Facebook, and now Google decided to ban all advertising that is in any way connected to crypto projects. It is a matter of concern to promote potentially high speculative projects where users can be harmed.

Our team understands those concerns made by the public and the media. From the very beginning, we have been advocating for transparency and regulation of all operations in this industry, since we have also been experiencing the negative consequences of speculative projects which harm the reputation of all projects connected with cryptoworld.

We are aware that this is merely a consequence of the rapid development of an entirely new industry where rules haven’t been defined yet and some individuals and projects took advatage of it.

If we are talking about the future of the crypto world, we need to mention the two phases through which it went already. First, there was a period of cryptoprojects based on ideals and values. Basically it was a rebellion against the centralization and power of financial and political centers. The second phase was the phase of those who saw the cryptocurrencies as an opportunity for fast profits and the content of many projects was reduced to competition between different marketing approaches. This phase could be also marked as a gambling phase, where people threw so much money into crypto based just on the fear of missing out. We all know what happened afterwards. Some projects were not meant to succeed in the long run but there were invented just to gather money, with no real or any other value behind. Now we are in-between the second and third phase that is in its early beginnings. It is the period of reality check for all who wanted to bend the rules.

In the third phase, projects that solve specific problems will come to the surface and especially projects with intrinsic value. Projects that will retain at least some of their value regardless of the market situation. Xaurum brings a global solution for the problems of FIAT currencies, and it has a solid real or even better — indestructible value behind it — gold, which is know through all human history, as one of the best assets to preserve value.

We are strongly supporting all attempts for regulation and clarification of the situation in the crypto industry. We conduct our business in most transparent way and in accordance with all valid laws. Our gold reserves are audited regularly and we are the first gold based token which publicly shared this information.

For all of this reasons, we firmly believe that recent events will not harm the Xaurum project; moreover, greater transparency and orderliness of the crypto world will sooner or later only benefit good projects and separete them from the bad ones.

We are looking forward to the next months since we belive cryptoworld is taking decisive steps towards better transparency, efficient regulations and security of its costumers. We are here to lead the way.

Our Multi-Year Blockchain Strategy for Kin
https://medium.com/kinfoundation/kin-multi-year-blockchain-strategy-e0a3808f0894

Our vision for Kin is a digital sharing economy of equal opportunity. The Kin Ecosystem will compensate developers and app users for the value of their time, attention, and ideas — ultimately creating new ways to monetize digital services or pay people for their expertise.

Fulfilling our vision to its fullest will take years. Research estimates the total number of active cryptocurrency users in 2017 to be just under 6 million. This number is humbling, as it shows how much further the industry has to grow before cryptocurrencies are in widespread use.

There are dozens of challenges to overcome when working toward this goal: from scalability issues to governance; dealing with regulatory uncertainty like tax implications of earning tokens; safeguarding user privacy while allowing regulators to audit for anti-money laundering (AML); user experience and productizing the process in a way that not only the tech savvy will be able to operate a cryptocurrency wallet; and many others.

Blockchain infrastructure plays an essential role in this vision. It is one of the technological foundations cryptocurrencies like Kin are built upon. When planning the long term Kin roadmap, we must prepare a multi-year strategy that will carry us through the challenges ahead.

As the industry matures, we’ve grown to understand that this vision will be built on more than one blockchain. Complex decentralized applications like Kin will eventually span multiple technology infrastructures. As different types of blockchains specialize in solving different aspects of the problem, it becomes clear that no single blockchain will just “win” on all accounts.

We’ve seen this with the Kin launch on Ethereum. We’ve realized that while the Ethereum blockchain is a great platform for fundraising, trading and exchange, it fails to meet our requirements regarding scale — long confirmation times, low transaction throughput and high fees prevent us from bringing Kin to millions of users inside digital services.

This does not mean that Kin will stop using Ethereum. The ERC20 standard for tokens has been wildly successful in creating an ecosystem around Ethereum-based tokens. With a streamlined integration to all tokens implementing this standard, powerful tools emerged such as third-party wallets for the management of ERC20 tokens, hardware wallets for secure cold storage of high value assets and out-of-the box integration to a multitude of exchanges and trade platforms. These tools are essential for asset management by professionals in the Kin ecosystem, such as developers of digital services earning large amounts of KIN from the KRE.

To deal with the next phase of our pressing scale requirements within the bounds of digital services, we are planning to expand in parallel to another blockchain infrastructure. We are working closely with Stellar for this purpose.

The Stellar blockchain resolves digital services’ basic needs for scale, quicker confirmation times, and lower transaction fees. Other critical benefits of Stellar are its years long stability in production — which we view as the best production environment today — and their team, who has been great to work with throughout this whole process. While emerging blockchains may show promise, we prefer to avoid unproven solutions for the next critical growth period in Kin, as it becomes integrated inside digital services other than Kik.

Looking further into the future, we foresee several complex problems that off the shelf solutions will not be able to accommodate. Blockchain solutions like Ethereum or Stellar were not designed specifically for the Kin use case. As such, we will reach challenges that they were not built to overcome.

To handle those, we plan to invest efforts in customizing a blockchain solution for our needs. We are doing this via a long term collaboration with Orbs. By collaborating with the Orbs blockchain and co-locating our engineering team with the Orbs team, we will help design a blockchain from scratch that will accommodate our future needs as they evolve.

Enabling a new digital sharing economy is an ambitious goal. As we progress with the Kin roadmap, we will gradually expand the Kin Ecosystem to rely on all three blockchains: Ethereum for general liquidity, and Stellar and Orbs for digital services. We believe that only a combination of the unique value proposition of each solution will help us realize our vision.

Líf is the token of the Winding Tree platform. Winding Tree is a blockchain-based distribution platform for the travel industry.

Today, the travel industry suffers from highly concentrated distribution, forced on the industry by the necessity for a trusted partner online. This requirement has allowed intermediaries to concentrate the sector, raising the barrier to entry for startups and reducing margins for established companies. In travel, consumer-facing intermediaries will often source their inventory from other B2B intermediaries, resulting in double marginalization, inflated prices and market inflexibility.
The fuel of the platform is the Líf token. Líf is an ERC20-compatible token, which also allows travel companies to send information within transactions. Compared to the basic ERC20 token, Líf tokens will have three additional methods through which the token holder is able to send value, data, and/or execute a function on those transfers. This brings extra value and use cases to the token, allowing companies to design more complex and tailored applications on Winding Tree platform.

What Can Banca do for You? The Rise of Community Investment Banking



Banca is looking to become Wall Street on Blockchain, one that will help disrupt the investment banking industry

Cryptocurrencies have now fully arrived in mainstream finance, having burst onto the scene back in 2017. Few experts expect this trend to stop anytime soon, with crypto now permeating the big data and artificial intelligence (AI) space as well. Already in 2018, many venues have looked for new ways to explore blockchain technology and harness its advantages for investments and banking.

One such group that has made inroads into the AI and big data segment within the crypto investment space is Banca. In a field teeming with competition, Banca has already stood out for its unique approach to investment banking. Recognizing the changes that were needed in the industry following the great financial crisis in 2007, Banca has opted to chart a new course entirely, one that will help disrupt the investment banking industry as we know it.

With the harnessing of blockchain technology, the existing rules governing banking have been called into question. For its part, Banca has put forward the concept of the community investment bank, which will aim to solve existing disparities in the traditional investment bank while also playing a significant role in determining the new business model for investment banks.
