Jeddah is in the KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), it is not in the UAE so the news reported in that website is not well investigated.

Looking at the Qintar website where nothing of substance is showing for the "team" section and a WP template similar to the Adab Solution scammers is in operation, it gives no confidence to investors at all. When organisations try to hide behind anonymity or semi-anonymity then they look like scammers because they are trying to hide something.

As for Adab Solutions, they are a bunch of scammers. There is nothign Shariah related or ethical about their business structure because they stated on previous occasions they are happy to accept both ICO funding and investment from prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers and all sorts of people/organisations that are contrary to religion and ethics.

The proponent also followed up with another tweet to inform the community that Tron had produced more blocks than Ethereum [ETH], its main competition. Lederman said that Tron had produced 8.3 million blocks since its launch in 2018, while Ethereum, despite having the advantage of starting early in 2015, had only 7.5 million blocks.

The Los Angeles Times (LA Times), one of the largest newspaper publishers in the United States, has decided that cryptocurrencies have a place in news. The company has announced that it is now a certified Brave Browser publisher, which means that it can receive contributions and tips using the Basic Attention Token (BAT). The LA Times is the fourth largest U.S.-based newspaper and its website reportedly received 37 million visits each month.

Ethereum is the prefered choice for Tokenization at the moment due to the possibilities of the programming language Solidity, the large community, existing code examples, the easy connection to the Cryptocurrency ether, and working implementations.

Introducing the next level of tokenization of private placement securities

The other innovative aspect of the Brooklyn deal is the fact that for the first time ever, a real estate investment project integrates the Dai stablecoin, which is developed and issued by MakerDAO. Lippiatt explains what the Dai integration means for the investors:

“As an investor, you can purchase in Dai, and you can even have interest paid in Dai. This has never been done before.”

A mobile application called Haven is set for launch in the second quarter of this year, developed by OB1, the company behind the the decentralized online marketplace OpenBazaar, and it is currently entering the testing phase, as Cryptonews.com learned. Additionally, the marketplace is looking to integrate Ethereum, as well as release their own token, during this same timeframe.

That joining of the smart property with the Ricardian contract, as far as we know, that’s never been done before, this is the new thing, and the automated title holders are where the magic are. The internal machinery which makes that possible is why we have taken so long to get Mattereum up to speed, that stuff is extremely subtle and very, very complex.

The world's largest #Blockchain #hackathon @OdysseyHack starts tomorrow in Groningen, Netherlands. A team from @mattereum will be there supporting participants from all over the world

Technology evolution – the process of uncovering and patching issues – is what made Bitcoin and Ethereum the robust platforms they are today.

However, people also say that EOS cannot be considered a robust blockchain, as it achieves scalability by being lenient on consensus mechanisms. This is where Plasma gives Ethereum the upper-hand. Plasma allows a flexible infrastructure to build any type of application with any type of consensus, while relying on a rigid backbone(the Ethereum Blockchain) to support it. This allows for any type of application to built on Ethereum, even ones that would be considered better to build on EOS prior to Plasma.

The lucky partner is Coins.ph, a blockchain-based financial services outfit whose mission includes helping people who do not have bank accounts. In addition to providing a means for crypto purchases, Coins.ph provides mobile wallets and services such as remittances, mobile air-time, and bill payments.

Finally, Western Union has trialed the ripple (XRP) cryptocurrency, though CEO Hikmet Ersek said the firm was not impressed with the early results.

Buying ETH, however, is the better choice if you’re more interested in interacting with the applications on the Ethereum platform than using a cryptocurrency.

Degenerate gamblers can now go full hopium and lose their shirt or finally get their silly lambo following the sudden rise of a new crypto exchange that has become the very first to offer options.
Deribit, an Amsterdam based crypto exchange which has been operating since 2016, now allows you to trade bitcoin or eth options, as well as futures.

Buterin is in Australia for the second time ever, heading to Ethereum development conference EDCON in Sydney this week, from the 11th to the 13th. While the conference is broadly focused on all aspects of Ethereum’s development, Buterin says he’ll mainly be speaking about Casper CBC, a new consensus algorithm in development for the platform.

This new development is part of Ethereum’s ‘2.0’ roadmap, which Buterin says is coming along well, despite some readjustments and setbacks since the initial plans were set in 2017. The development team, which includes a number of Australians, have launched testnets for its new proof-of-stake network, and isn’t far off rolling out the 2.0 protocol.

“The actual protocol for Ethereum 2.0, which includes proof-of-stake and sharding, is very close to finished. We’ve had a lot of progress on the research and development front,” he says.

EDCON HACK is a two-day Hackathon, focusing on Ethereum Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions (Sharding, PoS, Clients, Plasma, Channel, Snark) . It's open to everyone who has interests, EDCON HACK team will provide supplementary resources, mentorship, and food for the candidates in need. We cooperate with Ethereum Plasma Team and world-class organizations to provide online training supports for candidates. It’s open to everyone to register as a visitor and find the video recordings of the online training here https://www.edcon.io/hackathon.

Hackathon Prize will be more than USD $10,000, and Hackers can get free ticket to EDCON week.
