Kraken Enables Advanced Orders and Adds 10 Currency PairsPreviously, in order to help mitigate strain on our platform caused by exponential growth, we delisted some of our trading pairs and suspended all advanced order types (you can read our blog post about it here: https://blog.kraken.com/post/1234). Since then we have made many infrastructure improvements to better handle load and scale our markets. In a key upgrade we installed a new trade engine on January 13. The new trade engine has and continues to perform extremely well. We are now ready to start bringing back some of the advanced order types and currency pairs. https://blog.kraken.com/post/1494/

Whitelisting and Token Sale UpdateThe Havven whitelist opens later today, and over the last week we have heard from many people interested in how it works. This article will provide some details around the whitelisting process, as well as some details around the token sale. The whitelist opens February 19 (approximately 12:00 PST) and runs until February 25 (23:59 PST). It was originally communicated that it would be February 21–27, but it was determined that a buffer was required between the whitelisting and the start of the sale on February 28. It was also previously communicated that whitelisting would open at 00:00 PST, but we have had to shift that time back 12 hours. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Whitelisting is open to anyone except those in excluded jurisdictions (see end of article), but completing the process before others does not give you priority of purchase. There is a 7-day window for completing the KYC process, but do not leave it until the last day. Typically, the majority of entrants’ details will be verified immediately just by completing the form. However, some people will be required to upload a copy of their ID to be processed manually, which may take up to 48 hours. It is recommended that participants use a desktop web browser to complete the process, rather than a mobile phone. The URL will be https://tokensale.havven.io. Please ensure you are using the exact URL; there are scammers and fraudulent websites out there that might just swap a full-stop with a hyphen, or simply change the domain suffix. Havven will not accept any payments as part of the whitelisting/KYC process. https://blog.havven.io/whitelisting-and-token-sale-update-abd9db48ea8d

On the visible part there is not to much updates to come with this week, but behind the scenes we have made big progress. Adrian from Romania has been here all week and worked closely with Mong and Jay on the Development side of things. A lot of planning and scheduling ongoing and it has been some very busy days with long hours for all involved. Hot topics of the week have of-course been site performance, planning for the new KYC/AML/CTF system to be integrated, planning and scheduling the implementation of FIAT trading/deposit/withdrawals, planning and scheduling for mandatory 2fa functions along with many other topics. And it looks like we are on track and should be able to roll out both the KYC system and FIAT trading during March.

What’s in a name? The Hut34 Project Have you heard of Enigma machine, Bletchely Park, or Alan Turing? Without the work done at Bletchely Park and by Turing the world we live in may look very different than it does today. During WW2, German use of Enigma machine encrypted messages had allowed their war machine to destroy countless Allied Naval vessels and aircraft, and gain them the upper hand in the conflict. The team at Bletchley Park, lead by Turing, were tasked with breaking the codes, thought impenetrable, of this machine. Their eventual success in doing this turned the tide of WW2 in favour of the Allies. This work at Bletchely Park was conducted by teams working in a series of actual huts, numbered 1 to 8 and so forth. Each performing a specific role. Hut 8 was probably the most famous, as this was where Turing and his team conducted their critical work decrypting German Naval messages sent by Enigma. Other huts played vital roles too. For example, Hut 6 performed a similar role to Hut 8 but it was instead tasked with the decryption of military and air force messages. But what to do with these messages? Great computational work was conducted in Huts 6 & 8 but without the appropriate distribution of these deciphered messages, they were of limited value. This is where the Huts 3 and 4 come into the story. These huts were tasked with the translation, interpretation, and distribution of messages deciphered by the ‘computational’ Huts. The Huts 3 and 4 “routed” messages, providing valuable information to those who needed it most. Messages that no no doubt shaped the world we live in today. Just as the Huts 3 and 4 distributed data to where it was needed, the Hut34 Project is building a network to provide a unique and useful connection between those who have information and those who wish to use it. Through facilitating the connection of participants, the open exchange of data, and information, smart routing and and ranking the Hut34 network will provide information to those who need or want it. So the Hut34 Project is our homage to both the “project” that geopolitically shaped the world we live in today, but more importantly to the man; Alan Turing, that in our view, gave us the technological foundation and means to progress on our journey towards a global superintelligence. “nanos gigantum humeris insidentes” Turing was a true giant. One of the fathers of modern computing, cryptography and A.I. The Hut34 project is standing on the shoulders of this giant. The Hut34 Project is building an open global interbot network enabling chatbots, IoT and other digital services and data sets to connect,share and monetise data, information, and knowledge. https://chatbotsmagazine.com/whats-in-a-name-the-hut34-project-447801d557d

ICO participation for United States residents https://credits.com/en/Home/New_Ins/2273Due to the latest SEC clarification and hearing in US Senate held on February 6, 2018, we have made a decision regarding contributors with US residency (those who indicated United States as their country of residence in the whitelist) that they need to follow certain recommendations from our legal advisors. We will only be able to sell tokens to accredited investors from the United States. We ask US residents who wished to participate, they need to pass verification as an accredited investor by sending documents directly at legal@credits.comUnfortunately, those who were registered in the whitelist and chose United States as their country of residence; and did not provide relevant documents until February 15, 2018 would not be able to purchase tokens. We hope that you will understand the situation and cooperate.

Dock.io and ERC-20 TokensThe word ‘Tokensale’ is either extremely lucrative or extremely ludicrous depending on whom you are asking. The sheer pace at which it has caught the public eye is unprecedented amongst all financial terms in the history of the world. To put in perspective the magnitude of this, there are some statistics furnished by icodata.io which are massive to say the least. In the year 2017, 889 blockchain startups opted for the tokensale and a combined $6,062,538,291 were exchanged for the tokens. In 2018, at the time of writing this article, 186 startups have already opted for tokensale and close to $1.5 Billion dollars have been exchanged for the tokens. And amongst these tokensale champions, most of them have observed the ERC-20 rules meaning that most of the tokens released through Ethereum initial coin offerings are ERC-20 compliant. This brings us to the question, what is an ERC-20 token and how does it all work? https://medium.com/dock-io/dock-io-and-erc-20-tokens-3769119009e3
